Dream Update: Week 8

March 4:
I was a young black girl, maybe seven or eight years old. My parents bought this old house/mall thin that they were working on renovating room by room. I became myself again. I was in the car driving with Anna and drove to the nursery where we used to be able to drive our car up and down the stairs there. But when we headed that way, there was no road. Ryan showed up to tell us where road was.
My nephew Charlie wore a sweatshirt tied around waist backwards so hood could be filled with cocoa puffs and he walked around the house eating them.

March 5:
My coworker Jochen had many elaborate fruit displays in back kitchen for us at work. He made a duck bill from pieces of pineapple and wore it tied around his face while he cut fruit for everyone. He later made balloon animal hats for everyone in the office and a Rice Krispie Christmas wreath dyed green. He expressed concern that he was going to be seen as just "the person who gives people tasks but not work" and that he'd be fired for it. People at work (Pat, Tara, Joe, Jochen and Katie) kept asking me how I was. I kept responding with "Was this the longest week ever or what?" And none of them agreed, which seemed crazy to me. My desk was where coweorker Joe's desk is, which is where I sat during my first weeks on the job while I was training.

I was in high school and trying to find a college. I came upon this really cool one out in forest that I desperately wanted to attend, but the college's advisors had to travel to see me so I could start there. They ended up coming late so I wasn't able to start on time. When they did arrive, though, they all gathered in my childhood bedroom and everyone sat on my bed to chat. They found an embarrassing note on my bedroom floor (which my mom then insisted on reading aloud) and I was mortified.

Dreamed something about Coffee Lake (that my grandpa's house used to be on) but I don't remember the details.

March 6:
I wasn't supposed to eat anything prior to going into the doctor's office, but I forgot–I had skipped breakfast, but eaten lunch and dinner. I went to the appointment anyway, where the doctor gave me 4 pills, which was too much for me and paralyzed me. The doctor was scary, and I couldn't do anything because I was paralyzed from the pills.

Later I was at my old house and the rest of my family had left already to go somewhere. I was going to meet up with them later. My sister Tawnya called and asked me to find her movie from library to return along with some books I already had to return. I went to her room but couldn't the movie. Instead, I found a Polly Pocket book.

My brother Tyler and I were swimming at the Borchardt's house. There was a hover board platform that he, Luke (his brother-in-law) and I stood on. I thought it would hover a couple feet above water and we could jet around, but Tyler kept going really, really high until it couldn't hover any more because of lack of water pressure. It would stall out and we'd fall back toward the water. At the last minute, the board would catch water pressure again and bounce back up. Eventually we bounced so high and far that we headed off the lake where we narrowly avoiding crashing into an electric fence by slipping between the bars

Then I dream I got body swapped with the mom of this random family, but couldn't tell the family because they'd just think I was insane and send me to some institution. I kept having to come up with reasons avoid kissing the dad, who was also super dumb. I went to the hospital for in vitro, but I didn't want procedure because this guy was so stupid, and also I wasn't his wife.

March 7:
I was living in a future (or not so future...) world run by corrupt government. I was at my old high school and my friend Lauren was killed by the government. Anna, Matt, and I playing cards at lunch. We rebelled by refusing to leave the cafeteria when lunch time was over. We were going to finish out game for Lauren. (It was quite the statement, somehow).

I started sneaking around trying to figure out what happened to her exactly and ended up getting into this really nice autopiloted car. I broke into a fancy office where all the records were held where I teamed up with a crew of adults who were looking into Lauren's death as well, but I was caught by government agents and put on a ship to exile on earth somewhere (because apparently all the rest of this dream had, unbeknownst to me, not occurred on earth to this point).

March 8:
Dreamed I was at Bible camp and went to the upper balcony of the church to escape all the people, but they all came and joined me anyway. In our lessons, the only verses they looked at were about wives serving husbands, so I called them on it. Everyone thought I was overreacting, which was super frustrating. Channing and her boyfriend were going to break up. He told her the only way he'd stay with her was if they had counseling with thee camp people, which I knew was such a bad idea based on the camp's teachings.

Tyler and Kyra got married in the church with confetti flying everywhere and a photographer whose photos were all over exposed and flash-filled. A high school friend Barbara and I played a game with toy dinosaurs, dice with cameras in them and chocolate pudding (no, I don't remember how that particular game worked). Meanwhile, my dad went out to the meadows and forests, and I was jealous.

March 9:

High school friend Ronne was having a class party at her house. I arrived in the morning and I was looking for breakfast. She just said, "In the cupboard." But there are soooo many cupboards in this giant kitchen, and that's not even mentioning the second kitchen upstairs. Eventually I made toast, but I left in my sweatshirt pocket and it got all hard and dried out. We went outside to play badminton, but the trees and branches kept getting in the way.

My mom picked me up to go run some errands with her. I was driving and as we headed out, my mom warned me that the brakes didn't work. I pulled e-brake to slow us down when we had to stop, but we still kept going. Eventually we ended up in the parking lot at a hockey game in Canada at night. We crashed without causing injury. The police didn't believe that the accident was caused by faulty breaks.

My friend Andrea was in music classes, but was tired by them. She said her piano class was only one going well. She played "Go Tell It on the Mountain" while I sang. Some random guy sang along too.

March 10:
I was either living out or just playing d&d throughout the dream–it switched back and forth pretty frequently. Our party (Adam, Zack, Paul and Matt) was in the Sahuagin fortress where we'd just killed a bunch of sahuagin but still had more to go.

We were suddenly joined by a bunch of other players, which made me sad because the group was far too large then to have fun. The other players included some of the cast of critical role (Tiberius for sure) and a few Northwestern people.

One girl kept asking "What's the symbolic significance of the Sahuagin fortress being a tower/cliff like it is?"

And Adam answered every time, "There is significance, but you haven't discovered it yet."

Paul and I decided to head up the side of the fortress while Zack and Matt went another way. Our plan was to meet up somewhere in the middle, but when they didn't catch up to us, I went back and found Zack sitting under a tree, hidden in pine boughs. He told me he'd sprained his ankle and couldn't continue.

Back with the large group, we decided that the table was too big and so split into different groups, which split up or original party and landed people rotating in and out of the game, but no one really getting the full experience. When they weren't playing, people spread out around the house playing other board or video games. I ended up with a bunch of girls I didn't know, which was okay, but not ideal.

I was at a lecture at Northwestern and someone in the audience farted during the speaker's presentation. The whole hall got into a debate about who it was and why people are shy. Zack kept arguing that girls don't fart, so it couldn't have been a girl. At some point I looked around at everyone and said, "Here we are, in a room full of college-educated people, and all you can talk about is farting? Really?"
