I looove it! I don't fly so much as I float... I'll take off on a run and then leap and start floating towards my destination. Although, it's not like the aimless, wandering kind of floating - it's more like I think of where I want to go and how fast I want to go... and I'm doing it. No arm flapping or other body manipulation to accelerate or slow down. I just think it and it happens.Last night I had a bizarro dream that I decided to enter to be in a new reality show (and I was struggling to remember how I found out about it because I knew I don't watch tv) - 6 people from all over the U.S., 3 males, 3 females... get paired up by professional matchmakers... and then marry their partner. The show would be about what happens after the pairing. It's like prearranged marriages for reality tv. I ended up getting paired off with a really tall guy with dark brownish/blackish hair who was super sweet. The wedding events were all staged for the show and we had professionals getting us ready for the event. We didn't even have to pick out our clothes or plan the weddings or anything. It was a big group ceremony. And very modern. Although, I was insistent on getting something more traditional for myself. I didn't want peacock feathers in my hair or around my neck. And I kept thinking that we were both really shy and it would take forever to get to know each other, although we had a lifetime... and my mother was gonna kill me for not calling to tell her I was getting married, muchless married all of a sudden.
And when I woke up, I felt sort of weird about it all.

Well, of course you didn't!
yup, that's it sally. more like swimming in the air
no flying in this dream.we (me and some other people) are in an apartment, somewhere on the tenth floor or higher. there's a big hole where the windows are supposed to be, and i look out over the street, there's a lot of traffic. they (the bad guys) are coming and i start to get rid of all the weapons we have, there are some guns and a lot of knives. i throw them all out on the street and the pavement, even the potato peeler, thinking i might hit someone on the pavement, but that doesn't happen. enter bad guys. we can't defend ourselves because i got rid of all the weapons. i jump out the hole in the wall and land on the street (maybe some flying there) and start to run. the cops are after me too. after some running i decide i need different clothes and sunglasses. i go into a store and try on clothes, but they're all ugly and i don't want to buy ugly clothes. but i can't go out because they'll catch me. i'm stuck. the end.
Of course even in a desperate emergency one would not want to buy ugly clothes.
my dream-self can be very frustrating to be around. i often feel like kicking or hitting her, or even just shouting, but of course i can't do that when i'm dreaming.
this time i was an assassin, using mahjong tiles to assassinate people ... it didn't work by the way. very abstract dream, almost mathematical.
That's so cool that you remember all of that so clearly.
Did the mahjong tiles have ninja blades sticking out of them? That is quite the unique assassination tool.
it was a very strange kind of theoretical assassination. more like collect as many as possible of this particular tile (the one) to assassinate.i have these theoretical dreams more often. sometimes they are about trains, but there is no actual train or trainsounds or anything, they just feel like trains (usually wooden toy trains). it's very difficult to describe.
i had another dream.i was a fashion model (even though i don't photograph well, i'm a true distaster). i think i was in a competition a la america's next top model. we were doing a photoshoot under water. there were sharks but somehow they didn't come closer. there also was a woman, she looked like my mother, but her behaviour doesn't fit my mother at all. she liked to bite my competition until they bled. one of them had a very nasty wound on her leg.
that's all i remember. somehow almost all of my dreams have violence in them.
cool dream, janine!!Last night I dreamed that I was getting my ear pierced but I had this gross growth on the back of my ear. I pointed it out to the chick and asked if it was going to cause a problem. She got super mad at me for not showing her sooner and started to cry. (?!?) Then I was at a giant indoor swimming pool and I was lost. There were all these interconnected staircases and multiple pool rooms with different equipment. One had a clear ceiling so that you could see the pool on the floor above it. I'm often lost in my dreams. Then I dreamed I was having a come-to-Jesus talk with this 18-year-old girl who was having an affair with her biological Grandfather. ICK! I made her cry too.
i used to have a lot of those being lost dreams as a kid. not being able to find my way home was literally my worst nightmare.

Also during this dream it was summer time ish at my mom's house, and I was talking on a cordless phone out in the driveway. I was getting bit by mosquitos, so as I was talking to Alison's friend I was walking to the backyard, spraying these huge itchy bug bites on my arms and legs with a big green can of off. Our backyard is full of raspberry bushes, so I was just calmly explaining my pregnancy to this kid on the phone amidst clouds of bumblebees and Off.
I think Ali was in my dream because I was thinking of that as a name possibility last night, and of bees because Sweeter yesterday read a friend's status update that she'd been stung inside her mouth by a bee. In February. In Aloha, Oregon. Weird.
it's disturbing dream time.last night i killed two people. i don't remember the actual act of killing them so that makes it a little less disturbing, but i'd rather not be confronted with my inner killer at nigt.
one was a man. someone had asked me to find him, apparently i was a private detective of sorts, but when i found him i killed him. i killed him in a car and all that was left of him and the car was ashes. i don't know why i killed him, but i seemed to be very good at it. after that the someone that asked me to find the man asked me if i had found him, i said no and he asked me to look for him again.
i also killed a woman. i can't remember anything about her, not why or how i killed her, except for that i hid the evidence in a handbag i had made myself. why would a killer make handbags? i was scared, because the man and woman i killed were criminals and now the entire world of organized crime was after me. i was trying to hide the evidence when the doorbell rang. it was my alarmclock.
Saved by the mfing bell on that one!!
ooo-kee....um janine...step away from the door
my wife used to have these really weird, terrifying (for her) dreams (pre-Ambien) that were sometimes freaky and violent. one night she wakes up shaking., crying and sweaty and says "i had a dream that i went to the garage and got a hatchet and then came in and hacked you up while you were sleeping...blah blah blah"then she goes "i'm sorry, i'm sorry. i shouldn't have waken you. i'll be ok, just go back to sleep"
RIGHT!!! no flippin' way. back to sleep after that dream? no way. i was done sleeping anyway. 2am, no prob...i just go do some laundry or something
i'm really not a violent person, not at all, i just have these dreams. as a kid i used to pray for normal dreams, but now i'm used to almost always having nightmares. they don't even feel like nightmares.
every time she changed positions sleeping i automatically assumed the lotus/crane defensive stance
that is weird. i would say to him "hey, last night in a dream you lost $100 to me in a card game so go ahead and pay up"
so yesterday i came up with the genius plan of drinking a bottle of demi-sec i had saved for no occasion and sleep like a baby. the results:dream no. 1. i was trying to catch the train. there were people wearing argyle sweaters and i spilled soup on the floor. the soup was an 'orrible shade of artificial yellow.
i was so bored by that dream i woke up and just lay there in shock for at least thirty minutes.
dream no. 2. i was in a huge house. it was so gigantic that instead of stairs there was a driveway, in the house. we were going up the driveway, in our car, for at least ten minutes before we made it upstairs. there we were greeted by the house owner. he had an ipad.
now that dream would have been more prophetic if you had dreamed it 2 weeks ago and then been able to describe the ipad in detail. we would have been like:"yah yah yah...big house, driveway..yadda yadda..wait! whoa nelly..back up there a sec...an i what? how big was the screen? did i support flash? what was the OS?"
Mod
Semi sweet?
yes, it is about the sweetness of the wine. demi-sec is medium dry for wine. for sparkling wines it is one of the higher sugar contents.
i'm getting better at remembering dreams, it must be because i practice so much.the dream started when i was trying to activate a public transportation pass, but it didn't work. a man said i was too late and had to request a new one. i used it anyway and it worked. after that there was a tenis match. i was a tennis player, not a real one, just pretending to be one, but i was very good at it. then i was at my parents house, where i grew up. they had a new pet. it looked like a cross between a snake, an iguana and a sock puppet. it had a smiling sock puppet face, the skin of an iguana, but no legs and moved like a snake. after that came the confusing part where i and my family all turned out to be vampires. i had been a vampire all the time. that was why i was so good at tennis. i didn't know vampires liked to play tennis.
Everyone knows vampires love to play tennis.
If I lived here my dreams would be vivid, too.

i don't live in mauritius, but with dreams like mine i had to fake-move to a more interesting place.
I had this dream where i was an Umbreon (<- = pokemon)and whatever i touched grew plants king midas style and i visited my childhood friends house in a forestNot my weirdest dream
i had a dream where i was trying to find a job and ended op with a very strange job. i had to free myself of the ropes i was covered in (cartoon-style) as entertainment for fishermen, on a boat.
I had a dream that I was about to get on a horse while wearing rollerskates, but I kept forgetting things and having to skate back to the car for them. Everyone else was already on their horses, with their skates on, waiting for me.

I had a dream last night that I was in a swimming pool (lots of those lately) while fireworks went off nearby. They ended up being closer than intended, and I watched one explode and then had to duck under the water to avoid all the shrapnel.
Sally wrote: "Where were you all about to go?"
On a roller trail ride, apparently. As I understood it, we were supposed to ride to someplace that had a skating rink, and then skate at the rink. In real life, one would probably put the skates on at the rink, not wear them up there.
Also, the sign advertised that all of their horses were Hanoverians, which normally look like this:
but they were all small and scrawny Appaloosas, like so:
Some of them looked like they were starving.
i went out to buy a pillow and ended up in a second hand store. they only had pillows with stains on them. gross!
yeah i dropped those off at the second hand store janine. it's just root beer. i was going to wash them after the slumber party but ended up just buying new ones
i had a vision about houses in the future. the ones with driveways for stairs are of course only for ipad owners, all the others have to make do with self-built glass houses. and don't worry about your parents, they will be happy with a corner of the garden. plants will provide them with privacy. there was also some strange climbing on giant wood bridges, i am still not sure if it was a sport or a failed attempt at suicide; probably failed suicide turned sport.
tonight i had at least two dreams, but i don't remember much about the first. just that the queen had to give birth before something else could happen and she refused. we were also on vacation and there was a lot of stuff lying on the floor that was supposedly mine. in dream number two i went on a bicycle ride with my mother and my aunt and maybe some others. we left from the house where i was born. i know all the places we went, but in my dream all the houses were different and the roads together don't make any geographical sense. a lot of the houses we passed were either built in the water or in ditches and canals that had suddenly filled with water so the houses became impossible to live in. we stopped at a park. everything was green and blue and grassy and beautiful. there were lambs that seemed to have eternal youth. i sat down on a bench. suddenly a pig's head appeared. the pig made happy noises and i immitated him. i stood up to look at the pig, he was huge, but he was standing on a platform so i thought i was save. suddenly a wasp-like fly appeared. the pig wanted to eat it and jumped - very elegant for a pig - from the platform. the fly was buzzing around my head and the pig tried to eat it while still making happy noises. i was terrified of the pig and the fly and closed my eyes. after a while i woke up.
