blue bow

I had a dream of a friend of mine that is kind of outspoken and crass. Nice girl, just not always socially appropriate, but is completely authentic. In this dream she was unusually dressed for her style. She had almost drag queen like makeup on in royal blue, sparkles and glued on sequins. Her dress was also of royal blue and a bit over the top (think 80's Dynasty suit with broad shoulder pads) and she had a huge blue bow in her hair. I was looking at her and thinking... how does she do it? She dresses like this ... acts like that ... but she always seems to succeed, is admired and so on. Then I remembered that she is always true to herself, 

one tooth

I don't remember most of the dream. It started out pleasant... but then I was in a room and not giving this man what he needed ... a service? an object? or he was just at wit's end. He opened his mouth wide to where his face split in half and he screamed with frustration. His face was red as if he had just been scraped or burned and he had one tooth on his upper gums. 

underground train

I dreamt I was about to take a train. I was at the ticketing windows and was running late. I walked down a tunnel that was tiled in shiny grayish white tiles. I'm not sure if that was their color, the lighting or that they were old and dirty. The lights were a bit dim I think to save the eyes of late night travelors. The tunnel curved around and then you reached some stairs that would take you the platform. On the way down I thought I saw my exboyfriend. I just saw the side of his face and was trying to avoid him, so I wasn't sure. Then he ran up behind me and said hello, how've you been and so on. He was very nice and a bit apologetic. It was kind of nice to see him. Then I either missed my train or realized I had the wrong ticket and ran back up the stairs and through the tunnel to purchase another. This time on the way down... I ran an slid down the tunnel. I realized this is why it was curved. A man behind me in a suit holding a briefcase was doing the same. It was fast and kind of fun, but I was thinking... I probably am getting my skirt dirty.

freedom vs security

I dreamt I was with this family. Events happened before, but then I remember being with two women. One.. a matriarch ... maybe the mother, the other the daughter and I... not sure what I was. A sister? a daughter? a stranger?   A man came home and he was a controlling angry man. I think he was telling the women what to do and could sense my foreigness to what he was doing. He came up to me.. held one side of my head to keep it steady enough to punch with the other hand/fist with the goal of breaking my nose, as well as showing who was boss. He then asked/told myself and another girl ... the daughter, to go to the market for particular items. We left. As soon as we felt at a distance, I told her that we had to take this opportunity to leave and escape.  She rejected the idea although I know she wanted to not experience fear again. But she knew here life, her clothes were in a closet, the dishes were familiar, she knew her routine and how to react to her family. I was adamant...  there seemed to be a woman there.... counselor or? I said.. please.. we need to tell her why she needs to do this now.. or she needs to go back so she won't be in trouble for being late. But we need to rescue her.

I retold the dream in the morning to a friend.... I realized I was both myself and the girl. .. (if you ever have a strange or intense dream... repeat it aloud to someone. makes more sense.)

egyptian, babysitting

I dreamt I was in the desert. It was evening and a little cooler and everyone seemed to be in an excited mood. Something special was going to happen that night. It seemed that we were at a location where an important tomb or something was. They had tried several times in the past to make something happen there... either a door open, or a sacred event create some sort of special happening, but each time they failed. I and another women were very excited because we realized that we had to dress a certain way and welcome in what ever it was that needed to happen. We both had black wigs on that were cut blunt at the bangs and blunt at the shoulders, a white Egyptian dress of sorts with a  gold collar and black around the eyes as well as gold dust on our skin. It seems the full costume was important and the gold dust inparticularly. I'm not sure if it was because the gold reflected light that would attract something?? or it showed us to be one of them?? or??  Whatever it was, we knew it would work this time. A man in the group was commenting on how it made so much sense now... How the old houses in the south had a statue out front to welcome people in and so on.

We were all joyous and excited and laughing for this event.

I saw a couple at a dinner place. I knew them as my friend's parents. I think I was dating this friend but not sure. They asked me back to their house and said he (GEdP) was waiting for me. They were going to go out that evening and left his little brother and sister for us to watch. After they left, I could hear him on the phone. He was talking to friends and making plans for that night. I was a little miffed because I thought we would have a nice night together with the kids. I acted like I didn't care and decided to focus on what activities the kids and I would do. The boy was playing with some board game that was my friend's and the little girl was playing with something more girl like.. My friend came in and was playing his own game until it was time for him to go. He saw his little brother wanting to play with his game and I knew my friend would be upset, so I told him nooo... you have this other game to play with and the pieces are too small and dangerous to swallow your lose.  I could tell my friend was glad I did it because he was about to yell at the boy.

old man

Dreamt that I was very tired. My friends and I had returned from something.... we lived in a small town with not much to do. There was this old man that kind of kept to himself. His house was not well kept, but it was orderly enough. I didn't have a place to stay, so he said I could rest on his easy chair if I liked. I felt uncomfortable, more so due to what my friends would say... This man was kind of different and scary... not due to his looks or actions, but more that no one really knew him well. I fell asleep quickly on his chair. When I woke up, I realized I needed to get going as I might be late to meet a friend of mine. I left the house without seeing the old man. I met my friend in time. He was in his backyard doing weeding and mowing. I was there to help him that day. It felt like we had a nice relationship and I was happy to be spending time with him.

JB heels

-----





I was in a big house. Some rich people owned it. I was looking at the floors with a designer. They were patterened but the design was not layed out correctly on purpose. The blond designer was tentatively liking it, but I didn't care for it. I felt bad if I made him feel worse. I went to go to bathroom in the "powder" bath but it ended up being a large and luxurious room. It had a bath tub and there were some fancy high heels in there... black snake skin, and a silver heel that was about 1 inch wide and a triangular shaped cylinder. For some reason I wrote JB inside the heel with a felt maker...when I wrote it the heel was snake skin, not silver. Then I tried to turn on the water to go to the bathroom (for some reason) and water poured everywhere from a showerhead installed above the toilet. I tried to sop it up with the large navy towels in the bathroom, but didn't do a very good job. I went to talk to this woman in the house... I think the owner, her name was Susan. She was part counselor part intuitive. We met years before and she asked how I was. It was amazing though because she remembered details of our first appointment. Then she mentioned the heels... and how horrible it was that someone wrote on them. I wouldn't confess, I didn't remember why I had done it and wasn't sure what to do. She was going on about how expensive they were, and I was trying to play it down, but it didn't work. I kept trying to act concerned and be in wonder about why someone would do such a thing and who it could be. I felt horrible. Then it was her husband sitting on the couch. I was complimenting his wife on her abilities.

team building

I was in a company and we were doing team building. My team was done and I was overhearing this other team finishing up. I saw something happen and them run around and then laughing. Then they told me... one guy was a fridge and he said "hey.. you opened my door and are letting energy out. Always close it unless say... a thermo nuclear reactor is down or".... then another guy puts out flat palm ... "no mouse"  There was suppose to be a mouse in his hand. They all panicked realizing they lost the mouse and were running around looking for it (what I had witnessed). Then we were all laughing at the story.

Christmas lights, candles, kittens

I dreamt that I was staying in a basement at my aunt's. She was trying to make it cozier for me so she was stringing up Christmas lights. These were not your typical little white lights. Over each light was an object, a white church, a little house with snow on the roof, a poinsetta, a snowman, etc. It was kind of over the top as each object that the light would show through was large, but it was nice of her and I was kind of interested in seeing what it all looked like when it was done.

I was coming home from a restaurant with some friends. An Italian friend of mine (C.F.) and a guy from my German class(S.). It was dark and rainy outside and we were getting in or out of a car. Another friend of mine was there (B.M.), who is a photographer. They were all working on some project and they wanted me to be in it singing. I said really??? I'm not a singer. But for whatever reason, they still wanted it. I went into what seemed to be my apartment. It was cluttered, a bed on the floor, candles everywhere, flowers, draped fabric in reds and golds. I felt like there was something between S and I and it was nice. I fell asleep on the bed and when I woke up, I realized I was somewhat late, somewhat not feeling myself and worried that I had left the candles burning all night. I went around to each one blowing them out and the kittens were jumping up on tables following me around. I was worried they might catch on fire, and I felt lucky the place didn't catch on fire while I was sleeping. All of the candles were burned down to the ends. One candle was interesting.. it was large and hollowed out in the middle from burning all night, but there was a wick on each side of the hollow.. as if there were three places to burn a candle from. I left from there to go to a medical office. It was still evening and I took a cab.. I think I was a nurse or worked there.

glider

I dreamt of a guy I used to know. He was radioing me from a glider type thing that actually looked like a one person helicopter, but the size of one person. He wanted me to be part of some experiment he was doing. We were outside on a grassy hill with cherry blossoms around. It was pretty and pleasant and he was just about to land. When he landed I went to go find where he was and to see what was next. There was a strong sense of working together... there were other people there, young girls, a grandpa, ...? All with a sense of belonging.

construction supplies

I dreamt I was needing to purchase a product, but I needed to belong to a certain group in order to get in the store. The men that worked there all had dark green uniforms on. I snuck up to the yard office and took one of their coats so that I could go in unnoticed. I saw that an old man saw me and he was looking at me suspciously. I felt nervous so I got what I needed and then hung the coat back on a hook. When he came out to speak to me I said that I was waiting for a friend to pick me up. Then he was pleasant and nice and I realized I had nothing to fear. He just wanted to tell stories and have someone to talk to. Then I went from there in a big truck to someone's backyard. It was kind of like a farm, but I'm not sure what they were raising or growing. The back of the truck was full of wires and brush, so it was difficult to keep steady. There was a nice young guy there, (that I had in reality just met the night before) and he was very sweet telling me how things go, what needed to be done and so on. I looked in the back yard and realized that a huge rectangle had been cut out of the earth, with just enough space for the truck to fit in. And the truck was so full, that it just looked like it was a continuation of the yard.I thought it looked like a bad idea, and that they should fill it back in with dirt
