If you know me, you'd probably know that I love telling stories, and especially my dreams. I have a few (okay, many) old favorites that everyone's heard a million times and says the plot before I finish the beginning details.
(You: "Oh, yeah I know this one. The one about the bunny." Me: "Grwhasdf!LETMETELLIT")
Well, I also happen to sometimes write down my dreams. My family encourages it so that I don't ramble on for an hour about a little (very "important") detail and I can keep it nice and precise. So I will write out some personal favorites and maybe you'll scream or laugh or smile or cry at them like I do.
And I know this is like a super long post but hey. I find great joy in retelling my dreams.
THE OLDIE-BUT-GOODIES:
-Most of the dreams I retell fit under this net. But I was just looking through my old dream journal and I forgot some of these! But anyway... These are the tales. (Commentary in the [brackets])
The Macarena:
This was at my elementary school's "Luau" and we were dancing in the gym. Some lady that looked like Tonks from Harry Potter started doing the Macarena and Sarah saw her. Then Sarah started really jamin' and Sarah was twirling, skidding, Macaraning [what kinda word...], and she was the best dancer! Everyone applauded and she was star of the show!
The Blue Bunny:
This huge blue bunny hopped out of the black berries and I was scared. I told Sarah to get behind me and I was about to fly but I couldn't. [I had been able to earlier in the dream]. I couldn't yell either. [So...frustrating.....] Then the blue bunny turned into a lady [she actually looked like Tonks too] and walked in the woods and said to follow her We did and she led us to a glacier and we had to slide down an ice slide and Sarah did it wrong and fell into shallow water and the lady asked if we were hungry and gave us crab. Then she showed us her world. It was all bright and cheery with toadstools for chairs. It was the best dream ever.
Voldemort and Sledding: [Not a dream I retell very often, but I just found it again in the journal and it's kind of funny... soo...]
Sarah and me were lying on the big chair [maybe in our living room] and Voldemort was planting flowers on the deck. [Yeah... about that...] Then we went to the Middle School Challenge Run but it was at Galbraith and you could use sleds. :) Eventually, I finished first on my sled and we changed to the Ski to Sea parade and all the graduates were there and we had to sign their feet. (Mama cleaned off someone's w/ a wipe) Then we went to the attic and a guy had to bring a motorcycle down. It was a great dream!
The Lady Who Stole Us: [If I've ever told you a dream, it was probably this one]
Sarah and I were at swimming lessons and we had just finished and so we got out of the pool and were about to go up to our parents but all of a sudden this lady -a dark brunette with a short bob with bright red lipstick- shuttled me and Sarah away. "Oh, no, these are my children." Sarah and I were scared and we got in her car and she gave us her cell phone but made us not use it to call anybody but we could play Bejeweled. [hehehe] and then she said, "Oh, I have to go get some bread". So we went to this rustic bread store and a 3rd grade teacher from my elementary school (that I didn't have) saw me and Sarah with her and asked us if we were okay and we said we weren't and he made our kidnapper sit in a time out chair. We were free!
SCARY DREAMS:
-Get ready.
Steve-Steve:
Ok, this was like my scariest dream ever. Sarah and I were sort of with the Cross Country team and we had to stay in this motel thing. It was all made of wood and it was out in the woods and it was dark. But we went in and asked for a room and this "nice" old lady came out and told us around and showed us our room. There was her son or something who was called Steve-Steve. [Menacing, I know]. The creepiest part at this point was that she kept saying, "If you hear anything, just let us know. If you hear the floor creak, or a ball bounce, or anything, just let us know." It was like she WANTED us to tell her of noises she and Steve-Steve were going to make to scare us.
So Sarah and I were kind of freaked out but we went down the hall to our room and Steve-Steve was still there and talking to us. But Sarah and I climbed into the bed and just sort of waited for him to leave, but then there was his coffee cup [Starbucks, good choice, Steve-Steve] in the crook of my arm and I so I reached back behind my head to give it to him. I didn't look back but I just reached my arm back. And then I saw Steve-Steve out of the corner of my eye at the side of the bed and instead of grabbing his coffee HE WAS STRANGLING ME! I woke up with a start, as if someone really had just strangled me and my heart was beating really fast and I was really, really scared.
Sarah's Neck:
My mom asked me for a piece of paper from the printer so I went and gave it to her and then I went over to Sarah who was lying on the couch and I touched her arm and she screamed and I was still holding onto her arm and as she was screaming her neck was getting longer and longer and her arm was getting longer and longer as I was holding onto it. I was afraid of what I had done.
MORE RECENT ODD DREAMS:
-These dreams came from a recent time when I wanted to lucid dream and so I recorded a bunch of my dreams to help with that. (Yes, I eventually was able to lucid dream. What fun!) But here are some notes from that:
Homecoming Kix:
I had a dream the homecoming assembly dance was being planned. We all pretended we were pieces of the cereal Kix, and we dressed up as that by putting flotation things around us. In practice we went to a swimming pool filled with milk and videoed (Not the assembly yet, though, just a practice. At the assembly there was no pool.) Some kids were getting Kix blasted in their face [so dramatic]. At the end we were all in this big room eating dinner and talking. [Next year, Juniors, next year this is happening...]
Hermione and the Bat:
I had a dream we were somewhere with Ron and Hermione and I traveled around a lot with them but Ron wasn't always there. The most memorable place was a field with a big group of people all around. One girl was nervous or something and asked Hermione to pray. When we opened our eyes a white dove flew across the night sky [The prayer was answered?] and landed on a tree. My dream-camera "zoomed in" and it turned out not to be a heavenly dove but an albino bat! [Nasty shock right there, I tell ya]. Once people figured out what it was there was a lot of panic. I had my big fluffy blanket on [in the dream and in real life too] and put that over my body. I felt what I thought was a small person step on my back. I froze and people around me gasped. No, it couldn't be. The bat was on my back! I then felt two sharp points between my shoulder blades that hurt a lot! I woke up with my body positioned like it was in that field.
Sweet dreams, folks, sweet dreams.
