I was walking behind a bunch of houses that backed to trees with a couple of other people. The houses were huge and had giant framed portraits all over the outside of them. Mostly black and white, as if of famous people or dictators but no one I recognized. Then we went down a hill and the houses changed to projects but the outsides were still covered in portraits. A big dog jumped over a fence and tried to attack me but one of the guys I was with calmed it down. Then we climbed up into one of the apartment buildings. The steps were littered with toys and clothes and there were so many cobwebs you had to walk moving both arms in front of you. We finally got to the attic and there was a young girl living there in secret with her new baby. The attic was immaculate. We decided she was living there illegally but we weren't going to tell anyone.

That's a cool dream. Like...it's a safe place. Or were you scared and hiding?
I like your pig, Janine. I wish she were real and I could pat her head.
he was standing a bit too close to me in my dream so he was a little scary, but i'm sure it is the friendliest pig you'll ever meet. happiest pig too.
i had my first infomercial dream! it was not the most exciting infomercial, they just wanted to sell pills, but all the mentioned diseases were fake. i can't remember any of their names though. they did have cool animations of intestines. the intestines obviously were very happy with the pills.
you're really good at remembering your dreams, janine!
I love how janine says "I had my first informercial dream!" like she's been waiting for it, wondering when that first informercial dream will arrive...
I agree RA, it was almost like she was dreaming of having an infomercial dream that came true.
i was actually expecting my lost-in-the-supermarket nightmare, i have no idea why, so it was more an expression of surprise. remembering dreams becomes easier when you practice. and i practice a lot. it also helps to think back to your dream right after you woke up, and try to put it in words.
yeah I read yours a couple of days ago and it reminded me that I had a similar one. But otherwise I wouldn't have remembered it.
tonight i had a speed skating dream. i must have been watching too much of the olympics.
I dreamed the other night that I lost two of my molars. I had them in hand and was trying to keep track of them - I set them down on a table. I don't remember much else of all that dream, but the tooth thing really stuck with me. (Guess I need to practice remembering my dreams, like janine) I remember hearing once before that dreaming of losing teeth is a bad thing.
when you said 'i was trying to keep track of them' i thought you meant they were running around, using their roots for legs :)
No, I kept setting them down and then having to find them. It was part of the action of the dream, there was a lot going on but I can't remember what.The other thing is that I frequently dream from the perspective of other people - or, at least, I am not myself in the dream. I can't remember if that was the case the other night, but I'm pretty sure those were my teeth and that I was me.
I had a strange dream last night that seemed to be something with which I was familiar, and yet I don't remember ever dreaming it before.The details are rather meaningless right now, and defy the use of language to describe -- but that's the way most of my dreams are.
All I can clearly recall is that I had taken on responsibilty for a whole raft of things -- things that seemed to be self-replicating and growing out of control. I remember knowing that it would take a lot of work on my part to meet all of the obligations that were falling on me -- and that there were no excuses for failing to do so.
I was pleased to wake up and realize that I only had a few things to take care of.
last night i dreamt i found a new index finger for my right hand. there was something wrong with the old one so it had to be replaced. i have no idea where i found the new one, maybe just on the floor somewhere, i know i didn't buy it. the problem was i had to remove old one before i could use the new one. i used scissors and there was a lot of blood but the old finger wouldn't come off.
I sliced the end of my finger off yesterday -- so Janine's latest dream is a little too close to home for me right now.
OK, somebody has to ask, what were you doing Larry?
maybe he was experimenting with grafting.
Good point Janine, planning ahead.
Self grafting. Yup. And slicing potatoes.
i think mr potato head eyes are more appropriate.
this dream has kitties! and a needle.i had to give one of our cats, elmo, an injection. usually with him that's not really a problem, but there was no one to hold him and he was looking like and behaving like a miniature lion. it took a few tries, but he got his injection. then for some reason i put him in the oven, just for a short while, and when i let him out he was normal again. i decided to put the other cats, belle and tiktak, also in the oven. i forgot about them so they were in there for too long and when i finally remembered they didn't want to come out. elmo (he is like a mother to the other two) was very sad and worried.
i don't think i turned it on, but i am not sure.
Just a little around the edges.Wait! Missing an arm!
we just found him one way with a destroyed and bloody arm, it was probably done by a car. mr yummy's teeth are not strong enough to chew on bones, i think.
he thought he had found the perfect corner to die, but we love him too much to let him do that. there were no internal bleedings so we had the vet remove his arm and shoulder blade. now he's as good as new again, except for the missing arm.
He's beautiful. What's his name?
Awww, he's cute, Janine! Tiktak, the tripod cat. :)
Dawww!!! Cute TikTak. My grandfather had a 3 legged dalmation on his farm. His name was "Spot" - someone dumped him on the side of the highway in front of my grandparents' farm. Spot was very well loved and VERY active. :)
'metamorphoses' by e. ninjamy brother has a horse. it is a very fast horse and it just won a race so we decided it needed to go to better stables and a better trainer. because this is a very elite facility there was a meeting where we had to make our case. at this meeting the horse turned into a woman with a very long neck. the meeting went well and my brother's horse was moved. after a few weeks we visited the horse to see how it was doing. all the horses there had turned into loaves of bread but we couldn't find my brother's horse. suddenly, while we were still at the stables, a boy had to be operated. the stable owners were somehow evil and i had to steal a nurse's uniform and had to pretend to be a nurse. the boy was half frozen, covered in scales like an insect and there were green things growing inside him that looked like moss. the others had to leave for some reason and i stayed behind to watch the boy. he had turned into a cat and looked almost normal. after that i was looking at a bridge. there were no railings and a boy on a tricycle was going to fall into the river. i knew that if that happened he would die but i couldn't help him. instead of falling he began to fly, still on his tricycle.
gosh I'm ashamed of my lame-in-comparison dream but here it is: My friend got a tattoo of a cardinal on one wrist and a toucan with a star for an eye on the other. I said "Sam the Toucan! Like on the fruit loops commercial" and she got pissed off at me. The rest of the dream we me trying to convince her that it just popped out and I didn't mean anything by it.
you were very lucky it was only a dream.
and so is she! Toucan tattoo on the wrist!

Nothing. But my friend hates birds!! (You're not gonna get me that easy, Heidi!)
