Pops Went Crazy

Well it's been almost a year exactly since my last post. That doesn't mean I haven't had crazy wacko dreams like usual. I just haven't taken the time to write them down. But last night was a doosie. The first one involved getting stuck at school and someone trying to gas me in some weird garage thing, but I only remember snippets of that one. And there was some dumb new system where you had to scan your student ID to get into the student center. That was a pain in the A. Especially when I left my wallet INSIDE the building and needed to get back in. Anyhow, onto the more...interesting dream:

I was hanging out at home (at the house I grew up in) with my little sister, and I think I knew my dad went crazy and wanted to kill us or something. The doorbell rang and i was laying on the floor near the door. My sister answered the door, and somehow I could tell what was about to happen. My sister was about to get shot in the head by some guy my dad had hired to kill us. I only had a second before it happened and I realized I would have to break my sister's fall once she was shot (since I was on the floor behind her), and hopefully the killer wouldn't even see me.

So, that happened. And the killer left. I saw the bullet had grazed my sister's right temple, so she was still alive at least. I tried to call 911 but my brain was all sorts of panicked and I kept messing the numbers up. Then I realized the killer was back. I saw his car in the driveway and finally got through to 911. I told them my sister had been shot and tried to read the license plate # from the killer's car without him seeing me. As he came to the door again I finished reading off the plate#. The dispatcher started saying something like, alright homie, got it. And I said, "Excuse me?? Thats not very professional..." I knew it was the killer. He somehow made my call forward to him. I was talking to the killer and he was right outside my door. He knew where I was, and he was coming in to kill me. I ran to the back door of the house. My little sister had got in our car with my mom and they were both hiding inside. I think they were waiting for me so we could all get away. I was crouched by the back door waiting for the right time to get out (I think there was a female accomplice outside too). I kept trying to call 911 or my older sister to see if she could call someone for help but that tricky killer dude was way too smart and had managed to make all my outgoing calls forward to him. I heard the killer getting close to where I was hiding and knew I had to make a run for it. It was now or never. So I unlocked the door and as I was just getting through the door I saw who was in the house. It was my dad. I think I got away, but this is where the dream got fuzzyish. I think I panicked and forced myself to wake up.

P.S. My dad is awesome and would never do this in real life.

spitting games

soo the other night i woke up to spit. yeah.

I had a dream that I was playing a little game on the tennis courts at the park in my hometown. There was a ball a little bigger than the size of a large grapefruit with clues on it and you had to try to read the clues but everyone else was trying to figure out the answer first too so they tried hitting the ball away from you whenever you got it. The answer to the clues turned out to be: cat and dog food from China. at the end of the game there was some sitting out as an example. But the dog food was a big bag. and for some reason my uncle Brandon decided to make me eat it. I mean, he poured the entire bag in my mouth. I got most of it out of my mouth just by pushing it out with my tongue, but that didn't get it all so I started spitting. yeahhh. so I woke up to spit on myself and my sheets. SO super. :)

boys boys boys

ok i'm going to write about this one even though it's going to be out of order (since i dreamed it like a week-ish ago). Apparently I've had boys on my mind or something. I dreamed about four in one night.

Let's start with the shortest/most boring one (not that this person is boring in real life, theres just not much of a story here). I saw an old friend I haven't seen in years. He had fattened up quite a bit. Thats all I really remember, that I noticed he'd chunked up. hehe

Second, I dreamed that I was my little brother's basketball coach. He was about 6 or 7ish in this dream and freaking adorable. Man, he was a cute little chum.

Thirdly, I dreamed about a friend who's in most of my classes at school. I'd just been telling him the day before that I can fly in my dreams. So... in this dream we were in a gym or cafeteria at a school and were dancing and then started flying as we were dancing. it was real magical hahah

Lastly, but not leastly (believe me, I know that's not a word), right after the dancing I was sitting by another boy I know who is more of a friend-of-a-friend. We were chatting it up and I asked him if he wanted to be my boyfriend for the day. He was like, 'ok yeah.' sooo... i had a boyfriend for the day i guess. score!

Wow that's probably the least descriptive i've ever been when writing about my dreams. Meh, whatevs.

my subconscious is clever

man i wish my conscious brain was as creative as my subconscious brain. Two nights ago i had this awesome dream where i was looking at the shape of my eyebrows and as I zoomed in the image of my eyebrow was made up of trees, and the surrounding area was an awesome landscape. I started exploring and discovered the most beautiful landscape scene I have ever seen. There was a field of tall bright colored flowers surrounded by thick tall grass and beyond the grass high, lean trees stretching up to the sky and a gorgeous green mountain behind all of that. wow I wish my description did it justice but it really can't. Of course I had my camera with me and started taking pictures. Too bad they aren't really on my camera right now. That would be sa-weet!

Then last night I had a dream (after some other weirder, shorter more random dreams) I was in a department store and found this really classy watch. I mean it's not like I've actually seen a watch like it before so I don't know how/why my brain came up with it but it was really pretty. It was like black stainless steel and the clasps had a small part that was silver (probably stainless steel), and there was silver on the face too. This picture is somewhat similar to what it looked like, only mine was even classier. I think it cost either $120 or $200 and they were going to give me a 20% discount. BUT alas, i am broke even in my dreams :( Next time ima dream up a first class bank account.

The moral of the story is, I can't seem to come up with creative things in real life (which really sucks since i'm an art major) but obviously the potential is there. somewhere.

Schizophrenic Inmate on Death Row

Well I just had yet another dying dream. I was one of many female death row inmates experiencing my last few hours of life, each of us being lined up in the doorway of our own little wooden cell in a big barn-like building. We weren't already in this building so they brought each of us into our cells one by one. I was one of the first. I was facing out my doorway toward the open room and to my left my cell neighbor was a frizzy-haired blonde. They brought her in pretty soon after me. She was a happily evil murderer. We were getting along pretty well. I guess I was pretty evil too. My neighbor to the right was freaking crazy. I bet she killed some people too. They chained our hands together and tied the chains above our door so our arms were straight above our heads.

Here's why I think I was schizo (I may have just turned into my super crazy neighbor to the right for a second though)- I heard these two small people talking to me. They were above my head telling me they were trying to take the chains off but the bowl was really heavy (the chains were attached to a big metal bowl-like thing). The little people talking to me were like ghost children, but I knew they were there and they were really talking to me. uhhhh... WEIRD.

Anyway, so as the rest of the cells were being filled I was chatting it up with my neighbors, mostly the evil frizz-head. When they finished filling the cells I barely noticed since I was talking but the person in charge stood toward the corner of the room with a couple of rifles.

We were now facing the insides of our cells and were down on our knees. I don't remember what I was saying but as I was talking I heard evil frizz-head get shot first. I was mid-sentence when I was shot in the back of the head. My head got really heavy and everything went black as I fell forward. My face landed on my arms (which I now realize is weird since they were chained to the wall above my head earlier) and I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't and I started to feel a little panicked. I knew I was dead or very close to it.

THE scariest most mind blowing dream i have ever EVER had. PERIOD.

HOLY FREAKING CRAP. I JUST woke up from the most insane horribly realistic dream ever. I hope no one else ever dreams anything like this. Seriously.

This dream was pretty long with other smaller dreams, if you will, filling in the whole story, which made it feel even more just like real life. Holy crap I am practically shaking and almost feel like crying.

I can't remember where everything started, but at some point something strange happened in the sky that pretty much everyone around noticed. I can't remember what that event was exactly, something like the whole sky was gradually getting a little darker from one end clear over to the other side. I said something like, "oh it must be aliens haha" then nothing happened and we all kind of forgot about it.

A couple days later - after I had experienced like 2 other stories/dreams - everyone was gathering for some huge fireworks. My family was at the top of some high bleachers that were just metal benches lined up on a hill but were were all a little spaced out. We were all sitting on the ends of our rows, but my parents and my brother were to my right and a row up with an isle between us and my sister was sitting behind me. A couple girls came and sat next to me. Either one of them or my sister pointed out this weird shooting star streaking across the sky. It would shoot and sparkle for about a second, then you wouldn't see it for about a half a second, then you would for another second and it kept going like that skipping along the sky and it lasted for at least 10 seconds. Everyone was noticing it and my sister sent a text to her friend, Maja, about it because she always misses shooting stars (or I least during the dream I thought that she does). We also saw a couple other normal-looking shooting stars at the same time this one was streaking across the sky.

So very soon after the star is gone the sky starts to look slightly funky again, its gradually looking lighter and there is this totally strange random object in the sky. It was probably about the size a blimp would look but it was more distant (being more distant it would have to actually be WAAAYYY bigger than a blimp) and less clearly seen. it almost looked like a tail of some sea creature or something. It was small and opaque-ish white. This object is slowwwly moving across the middle of the sky. As it comes close to being directly overhead I started worrying a little. I said something again about it being aliens but was only half joking this time. It slowed down as it came directly above us and lowered down vertically and thats when I started to feel like it really was some insanely huge alien spaceship or alien world that had come over/into ours. It wasn't like any alien movie I've ever seen. There was no flying saucer. It was like they were able to move their whole world, without any sort of vehicle, into our atmosphere without us even seeing them. But I sensed them.

The object I could tell was like the portal into their world or whatever. As it lowered down to about the height in the sky of where an airplane would fly, it looked like it was pulsating. It was sucking. But not everything went up. No buildings or cars or other objects. Only people. It was like we were all being "beamed up" at pretty much the same time. We'd get sucked up at slightly different intervals- one person would slowly start going up, then a second later someone else would. My parents were a little above me and they were spaced from each other a little too.

When I started getting sucked up it was the most mind blowing feeling ever. I had no control over it. I didnt even feel any fear of the height, only of what in the world was going to happen to us once we got to the portal. Were we being eaten? Slowly people started disappearing/dissolving (?) I could see my mom start to dissolve and was sad but I knew that soon it would be me too so if she was going somewhere I would be there soon too. If she was dying I would very soon too. I saw my little brother's arm below me. Maybe the rest of him had already dissolved. I was able to grab it and hold on to it, even though I couldn't really feel it. It was more like a hologram. But I just thought to myself, I love my family so much, how can this be happening to us? I remember praying and asking that we would all somehow be safe wherever we were going.

Just the feeling of how very very real this was, how completely strange this experienced was made this dream the most incredibly realistic and therefore scariest dream ever. I woke up and was so surprised that I was here. I could barely believe that it was only a dream, that I was here and that whole thing never actually happened. But here I was laying in my bed and outside it was dark, otherwise I might not believe it was only a dream.

The Recurring Marriage Nightmare

A couple nights ago i had my recurring marriage nightmare. Its always a different totally random person I know that I'm about to marry. This time it was a boy from one of my old wards. I had been planning this wedding for a while. It felt so real. It was the day of my wedding and I realized exactly what was about to happen. I was about to commit to spend not only the rest of my life with this one person, but ETERNITY. Apparently I hadn't even considered the "for the rest of my life" part, because when i thought about that i kinda freaked out. when the "eternity" part hit my brain, oh boy was i worried. I didn't even like this person in a boy-girl sorta liking way. i was really concerned because i had spent all this time planning my wedding and now how could i just say "sorry charlie [not his name haha] i don't think so?" but i couldnt just marry someone. its kind of a big deal! sheesh it was stressful.

Anyhow, i thought to myself, "this is just like my horrible marriage nightmares coming true!" That must have made me realize i was dreaming because thats where the dream ended. THANK HEAVENS.

Oh. I just realized I never have actually had to deal with telling everyone that the wedding was off. Maybe my brain cant handle that. I do worry about having to tell everyone but the dream either ends or the story shifts before I have to deal with that. Hmmm looks like I've lucked out.
