Dream 3-1-06

Last night my dream was a bit piecemeal. I didn't have a dream story as usual. I was in an airport and I was preparing to travel somewhere. Twice I got on the same escalator and twice, it went down so fast that I almost felt as if I would fall foward during the descent. The escalator next to me was going down as well, but the two young girls on it didn't seem to be descending as fast as I was. The second time this happened, I considered asking the guy at the information booth at the bottom of the escalator to get it fixed.

Dream 2-22-06

OK, so I haven't been so good about blogging my dreams. It's kinda hard because I also keep a dream journal. Well, anyway, here's the latest.

This dream started with me making arrangement to meet a guy I'd met. I don't think I knew him very well but felt comfortable meeting up with him. We made a plan, and I remember saying something like, "I'll be over here and you can come meet me there".

The next thing I knew, I was sitting by the window in what I think was a McDonalds, (I know, really high class). I was actually sitting in a corner, facing a window another window to my right. I also remember the windows stretching (how does a window stretch anyway) from the floor to the ceiling. I looked out of the window ahead of me and say the guy I'd arranged to meet walking down the street toward me.

As he walked toward me, I mused about how he would actually meet up with me. I wondered if he'd not see me (or maybe he would see me) and walk on by, or if he'd walk up to the door of the restaurant without actually seeing me first knowing that this was the place where we were scheduled to meet. But he did something that totally surprised me.

He walked right up to the window in front of me and pressed his face against the glass, to make a funny face. In the midst of doing that, he stumbled through where the glass was supposed to be and laughed at his own misstep. I looked at him in amazement (you'd be amazed too if you just saw someone walk through a window) and felt myself softening by his attempts at amusement.

The next thing I remember about this dream was standing outside and leaning against him as he stood behind me. We were looking at the scenery. I said something to him and he bent his head low to catch what I was saying. He seemed really tall. But maybe he was just standing on something.

Seems like this dream deals with the barriers I've created around myself. Maybe the person who makes it in will have to be...somewhat unconventional.

Dream 12-2-05

In last night's dream, I remember rippin' and runnin' a lot, but I don't remember where I was headed. The most significant thing that I remember was the presence of an old boyfriend, Dom. We were catching up after not having seen each other for awhile. He mentioned that I seemed to be really unavailable lately and I explained that there's a computer game (www.worldofwarcraft.com) that I like to play and that it's been taking up a lot of my time. We continued to talk and then he started kissing me. I remember feeling a little wierd about this because he's married with two children in actuality, but I also remember liking the kiss and wanting our interaction to go further. I also remember thinking that his kiss wasn't the same one I remember.

I know that when you dream about someone in your life, it's usually not them you're dreaming about but, in fact, what they represent for you. I'm wonder what Dom represents for me? He was my first boyfriend and cared about me deeply. I think he cared for me more than I cared for him. I remember feeling spoiled by him. It did a lot for my self-esteem in college. Maybe, I long for that type of relationship with someone again. One where I'm spoiled and made to feel like the center of their universe. But really though, what person doesn't?

Dream 11-28-05

I had this great dream on Sunday night/Monday morning. I dreamt that I was at school (SFCM) practicing and Heather K. was there. We went into the Library and there was tons of food all over the place. Lot's of pastries and chocolate. At first I was alarmed because I'm on this strict elimination diet to figure out which foods I'm sensitive to, and there appeared to be nothing that I could eat. But then I realized that this was a dream and I could eat whatever I want. I also remember thinking, I'd better eat it here because I don't know when I'll be able to each chocolate again.

Dream 9-14-05

I know it's been a minute but I've been keeping my dreams in my dream journal. Since I can't get to it right now and want to write these down right quick, here they are.

A couple nights ago, I had a dream about going to New Orleans. Lots of my school friends from OU were there and I was staying above a diner near New Orleans. I came down from my room and started to eat with some of my friends. I remember specifically that my old roomate KW was there. I looked back down the lenght of the diner and saw my friend MJC sitting by himself. He looked really alone by himself and upset. I went over and sat down and talked with him for a few minutes. As we talked, I remember looking out the window and seeing a fast food place that had been flooded but was now on dry land. I remember hearing someone say that this diner had never closed.

As I talked with MJC, we reminised and I found a little about how his family is doing. Then, it was time to go back over to my other friends. I gave him a hug and he clung to me and laid his head on me, like he really needed a shoulder to lean on. I hugged him back and said something comforting to him (although I don't remember what), and went back to my friends at the other table.

A few nights before that, I had a dream in which I was in my bedroom and was looking at clothes in my closest with a childhood acquiantance, Anastasia. I'm not sure why here, I hadn't seen or spoken her in many years until we ran into each other at the airport at home a few months ago. While we were in my room, LQ looked in the door, motioned to her and said, "I need you (for a minute?), can you come in the other room." She then leaves and goes into my second bedroom with him and they close the door.

I begin to wonder how long they are going to be in there because I want to get to my computer sometime. I then realize that I need to put on more clothes because I'm wearing my PJs. I then start to pull clothes out of the closest and continue to debate how much time to give them because I dont' know what they're doing and how long to give them...

Dream 3-25-05

I don't remember much about last night's dream except that it centered around being at an airport terminal. By the end of the dream I did get on a plane and fly somewhere, but to where, who knows.

Dream 3-15-05

Last night's dream was another on the topic of Cruise ships. Recently I dreamt about going on another cruise with my cousin who's about to get married. Well, in last night's dream I was on the ship about to leave harbor. I was travelling with some other folk but decided that I needed some time to myself so struck out on my own to explore the ship.

I found this place where I could get a present for signing up for something. I think the present included Chocolate but I'm certain it included a book. I also had a book of my own at the time. I thought briefly that I needed to tell my travel partners about this but decided to do so after settling down to read. The ship set sail and I sat looking at the waters ahead of use. We came to a hill and the water dwindled to a trickle. The ship climbed the hill and then headed down the trickle of water on the other side. One of my books slid forward and fell off the ship. I leaned over and picked it up, since there wasn't much water and the book landed on the dry land just beside the ship.

Then another book fell (someone else's) and my second book fell. Since my spot on the ship had already passed that point I asked the people behind me if they could pick up my book as they passed them. They did and handed them up to me. The weird thing about the ship at this point was that it seemed to curve in an S shape with the terrain as we came down the trickle of water into the ditch.
