Dream Update: Week 4

February 6:
 There was a wedding going on and pterodactyls flying above. Attending the wedding was Victor (one of my brother's childhood friends) and his girlfriend with their baby along with Lina (one of my oldest sister's high school friends). After the ceremony, everyone was hanging out at the reception. I sat at a picnic table with Tyler, Zack and I. We were surrounded by a forest and bit of open lawn where the ceremony had occurred. In addition to the standard pterodactyls flying above, there were also giant angry birds whose call was painfully piercing. I ran away from their calls and cowered by a tree with hands over my ears. While crouching there, I saw a tiny yellow jacket whose body was completely transparent. I knew that their stings were very painful, so I risked the wrath of the angry bird calls and ran.

Later, I visited my friend Anna at her new home and discovered that her living room entirely decorated with safari themed objects...literally everywhere. There were knickknacks on every imaginable surface, including all over the keys of the piano in the corner. I mean, I like zebras and giraffes as much as the next person but...

Later I was at my old house and driving the 4-wheeler around with dad. My socks got wet...I hate wet socks.

Then, I was an assassin but my benefactor turned on me and sent guys after me. I climb up into this pine tree (very similar to the ones I used to climb as a kid) but the assassins found me and started to climb up after me. We had an epic fight in trees where I killed them all silently by swooping down from above to break their necks or by sending branches down to them that were covered in honey (to attract bees) or poison from the pine needles. I managed to keep all the bodies up in the branches with me so as not to give away my position, but then one body fell to ground. I jumped down so I could hide it, but snow I landed in was too deep and every time I moved in it, I sunk a little lower. So I was left with the option of moving to escape and being suffocated in the snow, or remaining still and letting the impending second group of assassins find me.

February 7:  
It was graduation day. I was running late to get to Northwestern on time, so I ran into the auditorium just a minute before the ceremony started. All the students were seated in alphabetical order, caps and gowns in pristine condition, and most of the audience was already there as well. As I made my way to my seat, I stopped to say hello to a friend. The dean of the college came out on the stage and patronizingly told me where to find my seat. He then made a joke about how I managed to get through college without knowing how to alphabetize. The entire auditorium laughed. I told the dean  that he was rude and inconsiderate and demanded an apology. Everyone laughed at me again, so I ran away crying. Eventually I did come back and walked across the stage to get my diploma. After that, though, I couldn't find a job. In desperation, I took part-time one at TJ Maxx, but my first shift came and I decided not to go.

I dreamed that Tyler and Kyra were pregnant and looking to buy a house because they needed another bedroom. Anna was shocked.

There was a play (set in the 50s) about racial tension being done on a dirt road. I offered to stop traffic so no one would get hurt but they all refused.

For a brief time in my dream, I was dating Matt (from high school) again. We ran into this guy with video game that he was convinced was real. When he started showing it to Zack and I (because at this point I had stopped dating Matt and was with Zack again), we were we sucked into the game. At first it was like stepping onto the pages of a coloring book, but the colors constantly changed in shades of neon. As the colors settled, we found ourselves at this log cabin fortress fighting dragon on the edge of a cliff. We weren't doing well, despite the fact that we'd managed to get it near the edge of the cliff, when suddenly it fell off cliff. Although we were relieved, we couldn't figure out why it fell until rock monster who had been hiding just below the edge of the cliff came out. He almost fell as he climbed out because he was so exhausted from pulling the dragon down. As he climbed up to us, we saw the dragon flying away. We headed inside log cabin fortress to recover. Zack and I headed outside then singing a duet of "Baby It's Cold Outside". Matt pointed out that it, in fact, was 40 degrees out and therefore not cold. Oh for 40 degree weather again!

February 8:
A very piecemealed dream on this day. I remember being at Northwestern, but every single studen there had multiple tattoos and piercings. We played volleyball on the island and were offered a time share. Then I was Harry Potter in hospital bed recovering (from something) and also trying to solve a crime from the hospital.

February 9:
I was the Dread Pirate Roberts (awesome!) and was engaged in an epic sword fight with the six-fingered man. I was winning and man was badly wounded. I pushed his face against a wall, and he tried to stab through himself to get me but I dodged to the side. From this self-inflicted wound, he shrank to the ground and I thought he was dead, but at the last second he sprung up with a dagger and stabbed me in the stomach. Then he really did die, and I staggered to  the ground knowing I couldn't remove the blade fear of bleeding out. So I had to live with feeling the dagger in my body.

Then I dreamed I was in Victorian era and had been promised to marry this guy, but Zack was there and we secretly loved each other. I was pregnant with Zack's child but miscarried. I tried to hide that and mourn alone so no one would find out about our secret, but Zack came and found me and told me he wasn't going to let me go through that alone.

I was hanging out at Coffee Lake (the lake my grandpa's house used to be on). Floating out in the lake was a giant floaty in the shape of a hand that had the Coke logo on it. It was really difficult to get onto, but at least had an anchor to keep it in the general area, which was on the far side of the lake in between the spot where the cows would drink water and the spot where the rusty ghost chair sits in the trees. Later this floaty was joined by similar Pepsi floaty. I grabbed both ropes and pulled both around the lake. Despite there being lots of seaweed, I never actually touched any of it.

Jenna and I were playing chess with pieces made of stacked chocolate-covered candies and sweets. The rules were that if you eat a piece, it's gone. There were delicious marshmallow pieces and Jenna was eating them all so I had to as well so I could get one. While we played she told me about one of her nerdy student's named Marlin who wore big glasses and had adorable freckles.

Dreamed I was Christian (the lead male from Moulin Rouge) and was going through this house trying to survive because my allies had turned on me.

February 10:
I only remember one thing from this dream: Eat fresh fruit, not dried, because the sugars in them are different.

February 11:
I was hanging out in the woods with Tyler. There were lots of beasts, but we managed to avoid them. After that, I was and kid again and playing with Nicole at awesome playground.

Later I was in space on mission to destroy enemy's transponder ships. I took bottom four while the rest of the team took the top three. It was down to the wire, but we did it!

After this, there was a small snippet of being in the girl's bathroom at my high school getting ready for track practice.
