Truly Awesome Dreams

December 24, 2008

I lost the first two from last night. I woke up early then fell right back to sleep, going over the details of them to try to keep them in mind. It didn’t work though lol

In the first one I recall, I was living in a large, 2 story house. Someone else was taking care of my kids, but they were about to be given back to me.
The house was absolutely filthy and the woman was motivating the kids to clean. She said: “It’s 9:30- time for bed. We need to clean up first though.”
I went to a window and saw an orange kitten swatting at a bug under a picnic table. There was a rogue cat nearby though, swatting at the kitten.
A ran to the door to rescue the kitten but I couldn’t find it. Instead, I found a newly born pink kitten. I took it inside and found a shoe box to put him in then went outside to see if I could find others.
I found 2 more kittens that looked a couple days old and I found the mom in the middle of giving birth to another. I tried juggling all of them in my hands and arms and was carrying the mom practically upside down. I made it in without dropping any of them.
I couldn’t find the shoe box, so I set the mom and two babies down to look some more.
My kids were still cleaning and I saw a bike helmet with some stuff in it nearby and tried to tell Ray where it was. He couldn’t see it and I was getting extremely frustrated because it was in plain sight.
I angrily marched over to him, grabbed him by the back of the head and steered him toward the helmet. When I looked back to say: “See it?!”, it wasn’t Ray but Myles. They were standing beside each other and I accidentally grabbed the wrong boy. Myles had a slight grin on his face and my anger disappeared in my embarrassment.
In a purposefully exaggeratedly angry fashion I marched to Ray, put my hand on his head and moved him toward the helmet. He then took care of the mess.
Cleaning went on for awhile and then I woke up.
I went to my computer to check the time and humorously enough, it was little after 9:30AM
I laid back down, smoked a cigarette then went back to sleep.

As I was writing the above, I lost a lot of the last two dreams I had. I no longer recall the dividing point between them.

Interestingly enough, when I fell back to sleep it was to the same dream of the house, kittens and kids. I was still trying to find the shoe box but there was now MANY animals running throughout the house, including a newly-born-kitten-sized black panda bear :D
There were also 2 dogs. Later in the dream, a lady fears the panda was trampled and killed because there was black “fluff” all over the floor and it had a bad habit of walking under people.

I went to the room I was to sleep in which had 4 beds and then to the closet which held the litter box. It was completely enclosed and blocked. Inside was the mother cat and all her kittens. The orange one was there, the newborn, 3 calico’s of different shades and a tabby. My sons said they cleaned out the box and put them all in there to keep them from getting lost. I was concerned that not even the mom could leave and thought out loud ways to make an opening for her. Ray told me not to- he put food and water in there with her and if she could get out she would probably move the kittens and it would be hard to find them. I agreed.
There was a loud bang and hubby came out to see what it was. He was afraid someone was messing with the garage. Both dogs were on a leash and he took them out with him. I then jumped in him as he walked outside. There were 2 men across the street and he asked if they knew whose dogs we had. They were strays who just showed up. One guy said the largest belonged to the guy who lived there before us and he died without accepting Christ into his life and the demons killed him. He pointed to the side of the house on which skeletons had been painted and we had never seen before.
I was myself again and went upstairs to where Diana (Jerry’s daughter) and his ex-wife were lol
There was a lot of art glass and I was admiring it, then I went over to the ex-wife (who looked NOTHING like Vicky does in RL).
I had on some clothes that were too big for me and she said it looked pretty good on me but it was of a color she wasn’t expecting. I went on to tell her the clothes were just bum-around clothes. I didn’t care for fashion and don’t pay attention to color schemes and what-not unless I’m with Jerry or he’s shopping for me. She laughed and Diana shook her head and Vicky explained to another woman that Jerry has excellent taste in clothes and has a great eye and how he can spend hours buying clothes for the women in his life- but don’t expect to see a penny of the money. Diana confessed that he had gotten her shopping cards before which she preferred because she could spend the money on whatever she wanted without guilt.
As I was leaving to go downstairs to do laundry, I saw a beautiful drawing on the floor and wondered where it came from. Diana said she drew it but dad kept it then Barry G. gave it back to her (in RL Barry G. was a bad man stole $70,000. from hubby in a business scam and more money from others in similar scams- we recently learned that about 5 years ago he killed himself).
Hubby saw a kitten about to crap on the floor and told Destinee to put it outside.
I went to transfer my laundry and the machine was running over… then I went to my room and was annoyed because Ray, Myles and Destinee were sleeping in the extra beds. When asked why I was so upset I replied that I couldn’t have anything for myself- not even a room.
I tossed and turned, was WAY overheated and somewhere the dream changed.

Unfortunately, I don’t recall much from the last one.
What I do recall is that my people were being slaughtered and we were trying to escape. I had darker colored skin. The bad guys carried flags with spear tops which were used also as weapons. Some of my people were trapped in a dungeon with a drop-ladder access. I lowered the ladder and went down to help them. There were bad guys down there and we were rushing for our lives. I got the last of my people up the ladder but I was about to be captured.
Then the ladder is being pulled up with me on it. When I got to the top I saw the person who pulled me up and said in amazement: “You’re VERY strong for a girl.” A female warrior pulled it up by herself.
We locked the ladder in place and fled. More and more of my people died.
Along the way, we ran into someone who said the only way to safety was through the tunnels beneath the city. It had a secret entrance though which was hard to find. When we found it, it was covered in ice and the way inside was very slippery and on a downward slope. So I used that to my advantage, grabbed a rafter above me from the very low ceiling and I swung and released and slid a great distance.
As I got closer to the lead, I told him it didn’t feel right. It felt like we were walking into a trap.
And sure enough, there was a huge room with many bad guys, waiting for us to enter. I killed one of them and took the flag and walked among their numbers unrecognized as being different.
I watched helplessly as many more of my people were killed.
Then I lose some of the story and the next thing I recall is being on a bus as myself with my hubby. We’re being pursued by the same bad guys, though, who ram the bus and try to make it wreck.
We approach an area with many people and a guard. The bus hits him but it’s a graze. We stop the bus and I rush to his side. He looks like Carl Winslow from Family Matters :D
I try to find him something to sit on. There’s a picnic table but a guy keeps placing his dog on the benches and it pees on them. Eventually, the guard finds a suitcase to rest on. Someone says something about this being our second free meal, but the guards only, and how we should enjoy it while it lasts. I was angry that they would have such little regard for the guard.
Then the story gets muddled and the next thing I recall is sitting in a cafe in Italy. The restaurant is Oriental though lol and hubby and I try to decide what to order. I ask him if we have the proper money and he said yes and that he was going to get $30. more.
A man comes for our order and to give up information about our trip. A lady accompanies him. Hubby’s annoyed because in a section that’s suppose to have coupons, his is empty. I look in mine and I have mine and his share. But for some reason they have my name down as Kathy. He asks what should he expect from the Dollar Tree (a bargain store in RL which was somehow affiliated with our trip in the dream) lol
Hubby gets up to exchange his money and the lady says there’s a gift for me. I open it but it’s just paperwork asking about my travel experience in light of my religion. It asked if I had enough appropriate food options to choose from and such lol.
Hubby called me to his side, annoyed about something, and then I woke up.
It was 12:20. I went to bed “last night” at about 3:30 AM

*****The reason for the dreams*****
Regarding the cats and kittens= I’m a little anxious that my cat might be pregnant. In the past, when a cat has given birth outside, she brings her young to the modular for us to bring inside. Once we do, they get lost in the mess (usually at the back of a very cluttered closet). But because I live in the RV for the time being, she would probably bring them here to me, which means she would have to walk by the dog. In her excitement and puppy curiosity, Brook (the dog) might accidentally kill one of them.

The many animals in the dream is because hubby was giving me a light-hearted hard time yesterday about pets not helping my problems with the State any. I pointed out that we only have 1 cat and 1 dog and both stay outside which is no longer a problem. But in the past, we had as many as 8 cats (some strays, some kittens which went on to other homes). When the kids snuck them inside, though, they always messed in the house.

The panda bear and fluff was from cleaning the yard yesterday. I gave Brook an old panda slipper to play with and she “killed” it and got the stuffing in the yard.

The stray dog was from seeing a stray dog in the yard yesterday.

My annoyance and frustration regarding my kids= real life problems with them not wanting to claim responsibility and clean up after themselves. The over-reaction was from my fear of over-reacting and the anger at having nothing for myself came from a conversation yesterday when I spoke of not even having a room because I have to sleep on the couch to try to monitor them.

The painting on the house came from an episode of Monk that I watched before going to sleep.
The conversation with the man on the street was from talking about religion with Diana yesterday.

The killing came from watching Lee and Diana play Gears of War 2 before I went to bed.

The art glass came about because I helped Jerry move boxes of Glass yesterday and admired some of his pieces.

I dreampt of food simply because I was hungry :)

Dream interpretation is usually a breeze for me lol

Very Strange…

December 23, 2008

I character jumped in my dreams this morning to an extreme I’ve never known before. I woke up quickly though and have lost most of the story.
Gary P., an Elder at the KH, Presiding Overseer and the person who was “in charge” at my judicial meeting when I was df-ed was in it. At first he had a beard, lol, then he shaved most of it and he looked much younger than he does in RL. He was a father figure, which is true in real life too.
In the dream I was a young boy at first, experiencing some sort of danger.
Ugh… it was an awesome dream. I’m going to lay back down and see if I can remember any more of it.
But before I forget, either in that dream or another before it, there was a little mouse. I even jumped into it once and saw the world through it’s eyes. It was very curious and intelligent and it kept escaping its cage to be with its people. It got into the yard and ran into a snake. It was red with some black, but it was dead.
I also dreamed of a roach, which I’m terrified of in RL. It was a huge wood roach and I could hear its legs as it walked.

In the dream with Gary P. when I was the boy at first, I placed a couple ragdolls in his bag. But at that moment, he walked into the room and grabbed his bag and left. He was on a journey and wasn’t staying long, but I still felt abandoned and unloved.
Then I saw the world through Gary’s eyes as he pulled up to where he lived. He got into his bags and saw the dolls and he felt great sorrow for the boy he left behind. He sent someone to retrieve the boy.
I got there, as the boy, but the boy was now a young man. I was walking with Gary and noticed the sand that was all around us. It was mixed with gold. I was absolutely astounded and curious how such a thing could be. I grabbed a handful of sand and went to a low wall and began sifting through it. I wanted to ask for a toothpick to help me separate the grains, but we lived in a time they hadn’t been invented yet lol.
Gary beamed at me, knowing the impossibility of what I was trying to do yet enjoying my joyful and curious excitement.
That’s when I woke up.
Now I’m going to lay down and see if I can remember any of the first parts :D

**Edit**
I’m back. I’m too hot, hungry and wide awake to lay down lol
But I do recall three other dreams.
In one, I was giving birth to Zee and the Dr. had to do a c-section. There were two babies in my womb but one was dead. I woke up saddened for the other baby until I realized it was just a dream and no such thing happened :D

In another dream, I was in a huge store I often dream about. I was hungry and wanted icecream so I went over to buy some and got a sample of something first. I wasn’t crazy about it, so I stuck with familiar vanilla. He was laughing about all the different flavors available now-a-days and I wanted to tell them (two people behind the counter) of the time I worked for a frozen yogurt shop and how much I enjoyed the freebies were were allowed, but another customer came, so I just left.

In another dream, I was having my picture taken with a group of people (?). We had to get really close because there were a lot of us and one of the guys laid his head on my stomach (we were sitting on the ground). After the photographer left, he started getting randy with me. I protested and fought and was extremely angry that he would try something. Someone came to my rescue and I woke up.

That’s it :) Now I’m going out in search of breakfast and smokes…

Cool yet annoying dreams night before last

December 22, 2008

First, I dreampt I was 16 years old. My parents had died and left me a large inheritance which included “the farm” my hubby owns in real life- only smaller.
Prowlers were harassing us, much as in real life, only the ones in my dream were shooting at me and my 10 year old brother I was caring for.
I ended up hunting down an old friend (who was either my ex-boyfriend Robert M. or my ex-hubby) to protect us. He was older than me. We ended up having sex and he turned in his badge because I was a minor. No one discovered us, but his sense of justice lead him to.
On occasion, on of his friends (an old acquaintance from when I was with ex-hubby), Matthew came with the guy. As the story unfolded, he was the prowler.
Then the dream sort of morphed as I was driving for safety…..
i became lost on my way home to the farm and water was flooding the street. I had to grab ahold of tree branches to help the car across roots lol. Then I somehow lost the car and I was myself and Zee and Myles were with were me but we kept getting separated.
Along the way, I ended up at a seaport (which there are none of in West Virginia lol). There were blue ladders everywhere going up and down in different directions.
I kept losing track of my kids and was extremely annoyed because there was a vast sea of people always hindering me.
The people themselves were very friendly and polite and I didn’t have a problem with THEM, as individuals, just that there were so many and i couldn’t find my way back out onto the street to leave.
And once I did, the roads were so confusing that I still couldn’t figure out which way to go to get home.

At that point, it was 4:30 AM and the dogs outside were carrying on so I went to see what the ruckus was about (nothing that I could see).
I went back to sleep and fell promptly into the same dream (with a few changes- all of my kids were with me instead of 2 and we stopped at my pdoc’s office along the way and he was excited because he was treating someone with Turrets Syndrome and he gave me a drawing from a child patient as I was leaving because he said he knew I would appreciate it).
Along with the regular blue ladders (walkway types) everywhere, we found a blue playground constructed of the same metal.

Is this some way my anxiety is manifesting itself without meds? Even though I enjoy the company of others, I don’t handle crowds well. They make me anxious and irritable and suffocate me.
I’ve never had a dream of that sorts before though lol.

Very Strange…

December 22, 2008

Last night I had an abundance of really weird dreams. I’ve lost most of the details but here’s what I have:
I was with a large group of people and we were swarming toward something. We were all flying. The something we were messing with (?) was attracting another group of people which we wanted. When the people got close, you could see insects jumping about from their skin and hair. My group ate those insects while the second was occupied with that something we had been messing with for the purpose of attracting them to us.
While my group was feasting, I jumped into the air and flew so high I was afraid I’d leave the atmosphere. So I came back, twirling on the descent (on purpose) and I hit the ground hard (I was showing off).
There was then something called a Rotten Goat (or similar), that I brought down with me. There were insect in the folds of its skin that we would eat.
I then went over to a child of the second group, and I was looking for bugs and grooming the child in a primate manner… but it was like posturing- I wasn’t really touching the child or eating anything, I was just going through the motions.

That dream was inspired, in part, because a couple weeks ago I found a louse on the head of one of my daughters. It was the only one she had that my sister could find, but my niece was infested. Yesterday, I had an itchy head and started getting paranoid that I have lice- thus the bugs, grooming and child in the dream. But why were we eating them lol and why the posturing, flying, swarming and rotten goat?

In another dream, I was shopping for pj’s and a man called me fat when I couldn’t disrobe- but I explained my fanny pack was stuck. One set cost $15.00 but I could barely stand the fabric. It was blue. The other was red and cost $22. or $25. I loved the fabric but didn’t want to spend that much on pj’s

That dream came about because when I wear my fanny pack under certain clothes, I look almost pregnant and hubby commented on that on Friday when we went to the movies. Also, I have a pair of red and a pair of blue pj’s. They don’t resemble the ones in the dream (and weren’t as expensive), which were in a style my grams commonly wore. But of the two the red is my favorite.

In another dream, I was chasing after a bad guy through winding trails in the woods. At one point, I come across gigantic black and blue berries and I get stuck in the briars. One blueberry is so huge that it breaks open revealing seeds or somesuch inside (lol). I want to eat it so badly because I love blueberries, but I’m also afraid of it. It looks like the seeds are moving and I think a bumblebee is inside the berry. I get spooked and throw it to the ground and I’m deeply saddened. I try to salvage some of it, but I can’t. Then there’s a rotten fish inside my jacket that I was supposed to take a bite of or something. I threw it and the jacket in the trash and continue trying to look for the bad guys. Someone runs into me and says the fish is very poisonous and is laughing because I had taken a bite out of it and lived.

That dream was likely inspired by watching too much Lost and playing too much DOMO (one of the creatures has an attack called Rotten Fart which may explain the rotten theme throughout my dreams).
I do love blueberries and I am afraid of bees, and my diet is lacking in fruits and protein (as in NO fruit for at least a month), so my body may be craving them.

In the last dream, I was with a very old friend (in years, not age) Robert H. but he had gone crazy. The mother of an old boyfriend was also there. My kids were kidnapped. I don’t recall much else. My dog was barking her head off and woke me up.

Throughout the night I also dreamed of rabbits and hamsters but I can’t recall how they figured in to anything.
There was also a strange tale of a man with a monocle which he spit on and later threw into the lap of a military man who helped destroy the world. But that’s about all I have.
I woke myself up 2 or 3 times from talking in my sleep. I seem to be doing that more and more these days.
And I have a lot more trouble remembering my dreams.

Oh yeah… almost forgot. I dreamed Brook (my dog) ran away from me when we were traveling. She found a fawn and laid down beside it. But to the other side of the fawn was a huge lion and it was licking to fawn as if it was a cub. Then the dream switched and I heard someone stating facts and info for a documentary. The person was talking about the irony of the situation and how the lion had likely just woken up from a nap and the fawn stumbled to the lion after having lost its mother and how the lion would likely eat both animals before anyone had time to act.

Talking in my sleep

December 14, 2008

I had an abundance of dreams the night before last, though I’ll be hard pressed to remember even a portion of them. They were very detailed.
My natural sleep schedule is from 3AM-10AM. My hubby likes to sleep til noon on the weekends and gets grumpy if I try to leave when I stay the night with him. When I woke up on Saturday I asked if he was awake. He said no, lol, and I went on to recount my dreams to him (which he hates). Then I’d ask: “Are you awake yet?” to which he’d reply “no” and I told him “there’s more” lol and I would tell him more of my dreams. After almost an hour, he finally woke up and I told him my evil plan worked :D

Sex was a dominant theme throughout the first part of the dreams. I dreamed I was with my ex-husband and we had sex in weird positions. But he was married and his wife was crazy. I was sitting on a chair, half asleep and she came and sat behind me then sexually assaulted me. She whispered to stay away from her husband or she’d say it was consensual and I initiated it. But I went over to my ex and whispered her words and actions into his ear.

At some point later he and I were talking and I was marveling at how much he looks like my oldest son. But in the dream, he wasn’t the father of my children lol, so the similarities were written off as coincidental.

At another point in the dream, I was in a room that had a stripper pole. I was boasting about how great I was on the thing in the past, then some woman had to put me in my place lol. She did a back bend with her face toward the pole then she went around it at an impossible speed. I told her “I hope you don’t eat anything before you do that” and I said it out loud and woke myself up lol. But I fell right back to sleep and into the same dream. Only the pole was no longer sleek as it had been for her. This one looked more like a coat rack than a stripper pole lol and I tried to figure out a way to use it but couldn’t and was extremely disappointed.

[In real life I LOVE the pole because I'm "part monkey" and it allows me to exercise in a way I actually enjoy. I climb it, twirl on it, hoist myself up by my arms then throw my legs above me in a spin around it, etc. I finally put a metal pole outside for me to use over the summer, but my foundation isn't sturdy enough and it's too wobbly for use. I'll try fixing that when the ground thaws. I've not used one since 1999 though so I'm very out of practice. It's often themed in my dreams though because I love exercising with it. For me it also symbolizes disassociation, escape, freedom, release, and ego because, while I love working with the pole, I hated being a stripper and had to divorce myself to do it. I was also the best person I saw, in the state of West Virginia, when it came to pole tricks- so that's where ego comes into play. Hubby and I used to club hop and visited every strip club in the state, so I CAN make that statement lol]

Back to the dream… there were a bunch of people living with my ex. One was a woman who used to be a doctor, but she hadn’t practiced for 5 years because she and her boyfriend were on the run.

And that’s all I remember for now, though I woke myself up 2 other times that day because I talked in my sleep.

Disturbing Dream

December 14, 2008

This morning I dreamed that some girl was using abortion as a form of birth control and it became so frequent that her doctor and mom thought it was time for an intervention.  At first the mom carried simply containers to her daughter.  She said:  “These are your children,” then emptied the containers on a table next to the girl.  My dream changed the simple containers to medical chambers that had actually kept the fetuses alive.  I remember three babies, but had the impression that there were more but those were the ones that were viable.   One fetus had reached full term and was a beautiful baby girl.

Then the dream changed and I was next to a baby who had a tic disorder and OCD and was licking everything instead of touching it (that dream came from a podcast I listened to yesterday about a guy with OCD who did just that- but I had the impression it was a comedy act and not serious).

The dream changed again and some guy was proposing to me. But it was very strange because I received both rings, a necklace and a pair of earrings, but they were almost all associated with luck. They had 4-leaf clovers on them and such except for the rings. One was shaped like a heart. The other was a triangle of sorts that fit onto the bottom of the heart. I accepted them, but then I remembered that I don’t believe in luck and don’t wear things associated with it and wondered if we could take them back and exchange them lol.
That’s all I recall.

Hello world!
