after such a long dry spell, i am finally back to dreaming almost every night. last night i dreamed i started up a car, but it would only go backwards. not only that - but the brakes were out and there was no stopping it. i was freaked out, but fortunately i am great at driving backwards on dark roads in dreams because i never hit a thing and was going around curves and by other cars with no problem, all the way to the airport.
then i dreamed i had some kind of piece of red paper in my hand that i made into a hand puppet while standing in line for something. i made the puppet sing tuesday's gone - it felt like i did the whole song.

i dreamed i was back living with a roommate i had years ago - this guy who partied and drank nonstop. he had a bunch of people over to our apartment for another party and he was passed out on the couch. i lied and told everyone that i was expecting my family to come by so they would leave, which they did. my roommate woke up and was really ticked off at me but he passed back out, so it all worked out.

last night i dreamed that my father took our family to some kind of mountain resort. i shared a room with my sister, and for some reason i thought it was the perfect place and time to bring along a huge blue bong and a bag of weed. my sister and i made much use out of it in secret, but i remember walking across the room with the bong and seeing my dad walking toward our room (if i was stupid enough to bring a huge bong and a bag of smoke on a vacation my dad paid for, i was also dumb enough to leave the door open while using it). i had no time to hide it anywhere without looking obviously suspicious, so i just set the bong down by the head of the bed. it wasn't really noticeable unless you looked right at it. my dad poked his head in the room and said everyone was ready to leave and they were waiting on us. so we went - somewhere, and i was forced to leave the bong sitting out. the next thing i realized, we were back and my dad had discovered the bong. i found it sitting out in plain sight on a table and i knew he had put it there to let me know the jig was up. he walked up to me and said, "i have to talk to you," but thankfully i woke up. ugh.

in my dream last night, i was trying to sleep in my bed - but my bed was next to an outdoor cafe. so i kept glaring at people who were talking at their tables, like they were being so rude for not sitting there as quietly so i could sleep. then i felt something thump really hard against me and i when i looked, i saw a hanging plant had hit me on its way down. then i saw why it fell - it was a monkey that was loose! he had made it fall. monkeys freak me out anyway, so i was scared to death. just before i could pull the covers over my head so it wouldn't see me, we made eye contact. i hoped either it would move away or someone would catch it, but then i felt this really hard two thumps against my neck! it was the monkey. punching my neck!
i really felt it, too. as i was waking up - thinking - what the hell was that? i thought smudgey must be attacking me in my sleep again, but then i remembered i had locked her out out my room so i could sleep. so much for that.

i was at some kind of football game? race? something like that - at night, with two people i think were supposed to be my parents. the woman did feel kind of like my real mother sometimes, but i never got a good look at them. mostly because it was so dark. we were sitting on wooden bleachers. i didn't want to be there because of this giant - crane - thing. i don't know exactly how to describe it, but for some reason i knew it was some kind of satellite. but it looked like a giant crane that seemed to go forever up into the sky. it was massive. at the bottom was this really big light - the only light at this game, or whatever it was.
it made this humming noise that unnerved me, just being so close to something so enormous and seemingly alive. then i heard a loud click and the humming grew louder as the thing began to move - turning a slow circle. people began running away and i was frozen to the spot as i watched it. it kind of reminded me of the tidal wave dream i have sometimes. as it turned, the field where we were began to sink into water. the next thing i remember - the field was gone - it was all water and we were struggling to stay afloat. my mother and i were holding on to a piece of wood as we tried to swim, but i felt myself sinking under over and over. i don't know if it sounds scary now, but i was scared out of my mind - i could still hear the mechanical sound from that crane and it seemed even more monstrous - i was terrified of getting close enough to it that it would suck me under the water. i looked up and all i could see was a ghostly outline of it, towering over me.

I had a weird dream where I met Tony Kornheiser, a former Washington Post sport columnist, and co-host of ESPN's "Pardon The Interruption". He wanted to ask me some tips for partying. I have no idea why I had this dream.

tidal wave dream... sink into water.... struggling to stay afloat... I occasionally have dreams where there's water everywhere, rising and covering up everything, or giant waves looming and threatening... but that crane thing is really scary! I don't think I've had one of those. Yikes!

With just a little re-working that could be one of the best two-paragraph short stories in a hundred years.

i'm going to get as much down as i can about last night's dream, but i wish i could remember more. i hope this helps.
it was in three parts - somehow they all went together, but nothing was in order and i've forgotten much of it. the first part i remember is being out in front of someones run down house. it was out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by fields - it kind of looked like where i used to live in maryland/delaware. there were a lot of cars out in front of the house and i was leaning against one. a dog was wandering around and there were some other people, but i didn't feel connected to them in any way. i then heard dogs barking in the distance and somehow i knew these were wild dogs that would eventually find us and attack. occasionally, i could see a glimpse of one getting closer. i got on top of one of the cars to prepare, because i knew there would be nowhere to run from them.
the second part of the dream i saw through the perspective of an old man. there was another old man who had been shooting people - he was nuts or something, and the first old guy was sent in to kill him. the police told him a bullet proof vest was left in the yard for him to wear before he went into the house, but he refused to wear it. he went in with a shotgun - and saw the man sitting on a cot, leaning against the wall. he also had a gun. i knew these two had known each other - maybe all their lives, and on some level respected one another. but they both knew someone was going to have to die. the guy on the bed leaned forward and asked the other one if he wanted a cup of coffee (probably got that from watching the skydivers twice this weekend). i knew it would be one of those long, drawn out scenes where you just wait for someone to make the first move. but i never found out which one did.
finally, i was seeing this last part through a woman who was in a different house. she was confused as to why members of her family were constantly filing into her living room where she was. she was prepared to go out to eat with her family - her immediate family - not her entire family. everyone was dressed up and sad - some crying. i could hear her thinking - why are they here? what's wrong with them? one of the women who came in was asked to pray and she began, and i remember her saying, 'remember (a name i can't remember) for whom we have promised to pray,' which meant someone was dead. i knew then that the woman's husband was dead - she had been told, but was in such shock and denial that she completely blanked on why her family was there.

Last night I was sleeping fitfully and have these fragmented images and ideas - most don't coalesce into a single dream - save one where I was running quickly through the woods.
I'm gadding about this dense forest when all of a sudden Edward pops up and tells me to cool my jets, that I might bring too much attention to myself.
I think he's being a dickweed so I leave him and climb a tree. As I look over the landscape I think, "This would be a nice place to take a girl on a date."
Later I was in school, there were hairy faced students there, people were prejudiced against them, so I thought I should not reveal that I too was a werewolf (hu? I thought I was a vampire)
I'm not a Twlight fan, I didn't watch the rifftrax, so I have no idea why I'd have such a dream?

last night i dreamed that i got up in the middle of the night to get something to drink and saw all kinds of flashing lights outside. even as i looked outside to see what was going on, the dream changed and either everything was going on in my house, or i was magically transported into the house where it was taking place. evidently, these white trashy kind of people were arrested - for "illegal use of acids." not LSD, but actual acid. i had no idea what this could have meant.
next, i was at some festival kind of setting. i was by myself, but i ran into a guy i had hoped not to see. he was annoying and always hit on every woman he ever saw and it was impossible to get rid of him. he latched on to me and followed me around and i realized my neighbors - the white trash illegal acid people, were there. and what was worse, they liked this guy and were pissed because he was hanging out with me. they (two women, a mother and daughter) came over and sat right with me. i was very nervous to be around them. someone else had a baby girl around two that i was making a big deal over out of pure nervousness. i picked her up and she suddenly turned into a doll. and the doll said to me, "enough."
creepy doll dreams are CREEPY.
