A Dream Of Yours

I know you all dream interesting dreams when the waking world is taking a break, so go ahead and tell them here!

Last night I dreamed that I opened my back door, and Franny was standing there, smiling. I wasn't surprised, because she had told me that she was coming to Alaska with her dad, but it turned out she came alone. My sewing machine was broken, and she was helping me fix it, than we were in the kitchen and she was doing the dishes, and I came up behind her and started tickling her, and told her she didn't have to do any dishes, 'cause she was my guest. I woke up missing Franny. ~Jadzia

Last night I dreamt I found my One True Love at a bus stop. His face was a blur but he had curly dark hair and he was tall. We met briefly, then he went to his bus stop and I decided that since he was my True Love I would follow him. I did, and he was glad... We sat on the bus and drove past Redwood City and Westmont and held hands... He contemplated buying some land there, and I thought this was going a bit fast but I didn't really want to say something because I knew it was Right. He was nothing like anyone I'd ever met before.

In a completely different dream on the same night, I dreamt I was at a theater and one of the actor's had a cat that'd died, so we all stayed after rehearsal to have a funeral service for it. It looked like a sushi burrito (rice and seaweed and stuff, but in the shape of a burrito) but I never thought that it wasn't a cat. Then news reporters turned up and the actor who's cat had died got hold of himself and took advantage of the opportunity. I went outside.

I dreamed that I built an airplane and that I could fly to anywhere in the world. So, taking my sister along, I did. I flew at night, to Australia, where I saw three cities. Then I decided we should get some sleep, but we couldn't afford a hotel. So we landed on what we thought was an abandoned building in the ghettos somewhere, but it turned out to be a haunted whorehouse instead!

as a note, i don't dream through my eyes.. all my dreams are as a movie, watching me... if that makes any sense. okay. so it's a still-shot of me, rotating on some sort of invisible axis in the blue sky, holding my arms up as if i'm holding someone, making a face as if i was looking all lovey-dovey into someone's eyes... so there i am, just slowly spinning in the sky, looking into the eyes of some imaginary lover, when.. this cheezy voice booms in, like a narrator or something, and it sounds sorta like that chick off of the Edge.. but yeah, she's like "This is Naomi. Naomi thinks she's in love... but she doesn't know who with. Ironic, huh?" then she goes on to talk about all the different guys in my life, whilst images of each one of them appear in the arms of my still figure, still floating in the sky.. as i'm holding and looking at each of my boys for a different amount of time, the voice is making dumb jokes and just being totally cheezy, but at the same time describing each of the guys in short.. like, just saying things about their personality. and after i've held a few guys (all the ones who i'm crushing out on, or whatever) and she's talked about each of them, she goes, "So, what's she gonna do? I guess she'll have to choose one, but... not of these are right for her. Now, how i'm going to help Naomi out, is by combining every single love of her life into one man.. you might want to close your eyes this could get ugly." so then suddenly it gets all glitchy and Matrix like, and suddenly there's this really hot guy in my arms.. a guy i've never encountered in my waking life, of course, but there he is, standing in my arms and just looking at me.. "Wow. He looks good! That's the first time that's actually worked," the voice says. after that this cheezy elevator music starts playing, while i just keep spinning in the sky with my dream-boy.. "I guess she'll have to find him for herself, though..."

and then i wake up.

I've been having dreams about groups of unschoolers lost or wandering around in maze-like forests, that are usually ominous/dangerous/deadly. I've had two of these dreams. They had totally different plots, but similar settings. In the first one, we were all being led to the Devil throught the forest, by this weird clergyman guy. *smiles at the irony of it all* The unschoolers as a group were all really mean, except for me and this one other girl. Then the clergy guy got eaten by cats. In the second dream, we were still in a forest, only now all the unschoolers were nice, and we were playing this game or competition, where we were all divided into groups. It was really serious, almost to the point of being scary, but also fun in a way. I think earlier in the dream, some of us were being eaten by wolves. Very odd, I have NO idea what they're about, but I'm interested because they involve same group of people and same type of setting. ~Becky~

I had this dream just after camp that totally weirded me out, and I'm not entirely sure what it meant. So I thought I'd write it down so everyone can see the weirdness that is my subconcious...

Basically, I was at camp. But everything seemed a lot brighter than usual. And kind of distorted.. and off. Like.. y'know how in dreams, sometimes it's not OBVIOUS that something is wrong, but somehow.. the area around you just FEELS wrong. Whether it's shadows falling out of place.. or something.. something feels wrong. Anyway, I remember walking around with Rhymi, and we were just goofing around and stuff.. but as we walked, things got darker and darker. Everything slowly became more twisted and dark as night fell. Finally me and Rhymi were at this house in the middle of the woods. It was just this dark wooden house, but inside there was a glowing pink light. And ALL the camp people were going inside. They kept beckoning me and Rhymi to follow, but we both thought the house was evil so we wouldn't. I remember Kat in particular coming up to me and telling me to follow her in, but I wouldn't and she ran off even tho' I tried to stop her. So me and Rhymi are staring at this house.. and it just keeps glowing this scary pink glow.. until finally me and Rhymi find ourselves back in the middle of the field at the camp ground. I turn around and Rhymi vanishes in a viel of mist, leaving me all alone.

So I just wauder through the camp grounds.. and I can't find anyone. It's deserted. And dark. And twisted. I go into the lodge and walk around. Suddenly I see Krista stumbiling up outside, so I walk out and she's like "Zen! You're here.. finally someones here.." and she hugs me, and I'm just confused.. and then the dream ends.

It was odd.

Last night I dreamt that Becky and Aremy and Ted and a bunch of other NBTSCers came to my house on a bus, on their way home from camp. They wanted to use my computer to check their e-mail. So they did that while I had dinner, and then I realized everyone had left and I didn't know where they were. I woke up feeling desperate. -marina

I had this horrible dream the other night... I went back to camp, and I didn't know who anyone was, and they didn't know me, and it was like I didn't even exsist... like I wasn't there... it was really bad. No one would talk to me, no one would look at me, no one asked about me or anything. it was like I never existed -JessicaSkater

I had a dream awhile ago where I was on the train on my way to camp. Then I relized I didn't have any money with my and I hadn't packed anything. But, I didn't really care, because hey, I'm going to camp. Great! -Kathleen

i had a dream that Robby and Samantha and Jake were all visiting me! It was so awesome, and i woke up and then whap- back down to earth: i'm thousands of miles away from them and i don't know if i'll see them until next year. owch. ~nell

I had a dream once where I said "when you're in a fish tank, you can have whatever color hair you want". It is one of my favorite quotes of mine. -courtney

I was at this hotel lobby while I was on vacation, and my skating coach came in by helicopter- right in the middle of the lobby, to remind me that I had a competition the next day (which I didn't)... it was really wierd.

a couple of nights ago i had a dream where i was walking through this garden with all of these big bushes with huge flowers on them towering over the path, and there were a whole bunch of campers hanging around, like Selena and Lotus and Forest and Jennyrose, but i wasn't really paying attention to them. and i was really freaking out, and i was really scared, for some reason, and Chris Black was there, and he held my hand and told me it would be ok and i felt better after that. for some reason that dream really stuck out in my memory.

One of my best dreams started out as a nightmare. I was being chased by these scary cat-dog things [1] with glowing red eyes. Then as one of them bit my leg, I realized, hey this is a dream. I can do what ever I want! Then the cat-dog thing disapeared and I started doing dive rolls down a hill and when I got to the bottom of that, there was something else to jump off of and every time I was about to hit the floor I was at the top of something else. That was about the most fun i've ever had in a dream. That was also the last nightmare I've had in a couple years. -Kathleen

I have the weirdest dreams. I've dreamed about flying in a Fisher-Price plastic toy plane over my best friend's school, my mom yelling, "**** you and your Central Market chocolate baklava!", being bitten by a vampire (and not being the least bit scared but shrieking, "OW! That HURT!"), hair growing on the bottom of my feet, doing flawless double pirouttes on pointe with my leg in a 90 degree a la seconde, and being in a local grocery store taken over by an Internet friend wieling a Super Soaker. :) - Emma

From my dream log: "I'm walking down a dark forest path with a dark haired girl. . .she's wearing a long dress of green. I turn and say to her "I'm sorry we can't love eachother." It's a sad moment. We hug, and I wake up."

Poignant, bitter, and sharp.

[1] That book was the scariest book I ever read. The cat-dogs. It was 6 short scary stories and the first one scared me bad enough to give me nightmares for a few years. The rest of the stories weren't quite that bad, but they were pretty scary too. But that's the only book I've ever read that actually scared me. -Kathleen
