Dream Update: Week 14

April 16:
I was hanging out with Peter Pan and the lost boys. We set a bull loose to go chase the bad guys and I hid in the bull's stall so he couldn't get me.

Then I was either a the mom or a sibling in this family with five kids. We were talking about having another. Each kid had a small wooden chest which contained their dinner plate and utensils. We had a bunch of dogs as well. There were two bigger ones (a great Dane and a Polish sheep dog) who both wore costumes. The sheep dog was Cookie Monster and the Great Dane was a super hero. Then it was late at night and Zack shot off spinning bottle rockets to mark a path of some kind (apparently).

I then infiltrated a cult by dressing up in their robes. I used the reflections in building's windows to see around corners and sneak around without getting caught. There was a battle, and I found out that an old friend of mine was in the cult. Lots of people were injured. I ended up in jail but I had a bowl of soup and befriended people by sharing it with them.

Then I went to a school spelling bee in a large auditorium. They checked all bags at door for guns and weapons.

April 17:
I built a D&D character who could use a bonus action to temporarily become another class, including wizard (this was especially significant in the dream for some reason).

A septic sucker guy came to our apartment and cleared septic system.

My high school's basketball team won some awards. I remember there being a newspaper reporter and my Spanish teacher Mrs. Werner.

April 18:
Zack and I found our "perfect house" - a blue house in Mound. The master bedroom was upstairs where the roof became slanted. Zack expressed concern about showering in the master bathroom with the slanty roof, but I pointed out that the shower head was on the higher side of the slant. There was a random pink toilet right by the bed.

The house had two kitchens - one upstairs with three separate ovens and stove tops, and one downstairs, which was the larger one and also had three ovens. The yard was a little small because two next door neighbors back yards connected behind ours, cutting off the back of our yard.

Then I was talking to this boy who said, "I don't think no means no. I think it means yes." So I got mad at him, lectured him, and pinned him to the ground where I snapped his arm out of joint before turning him over to the queen for sentencing.

Then I was watching ice skating on TV with my mom. She surprised me with a box full of different Neutrogena facial soaps, all in different shades of tan.

There was this boy who asked this girl to take his photo. He handed her a fake phone and while she was distracted, he grabbed her puppy's leash out of her hands and ran away with the dog. I chased him down and eventually caught him. He claimed it was a social experiment and asked if I would've chased him if her were black. I told him stealing a puppy is an unforgivable crime no matter what color you are. Then I said if he was some huge guy, I might not have chased him, for my own safety.

April 19:
I sneaked into NBC's TV studio and got into their guest hosting area. I hung out there eating their food and acting like I belonged for the longest time. There was a blind girl who danced on one of their TV shows. She didn't like most strangers, but she liked me. Then they had another guest (some Latina rocker chick and her band) arrive. The rocker chick was rude and demanded I moved my stuff for her band. I refused. An NBC guy tried to smooth the situation over, but I told him no and that if she asked nicely I'd gladly move my things for her band. We had a bit of a stand off, but eventually she relented. Then I became friends with her and her band.

Matt D and I walked together and talked about how he had a crush on Ronne still but she was mad at him (not sure what about). Some guys walked on cliffs high above our path and knocked sand and rocks down toward us. Eventually what was a small annoyance started a sand avalanche. The blind girl from the TV studio ran to me when the avalanche started.

I told PJ (high school teacher) that I thought Bible classes should be Pass/Fail rather than grades. I expected him to argue but he agreed.

April 20:
Adam was showing me around Northwestern on my first day at my new job. He brought me outside where there was this huge field of sunflowers and dried up cornstalks. He said they were looking for someone to tend the field and it was a 6-figure salary. We got Jenna and had her cover her eyes and surprised her with the field.

I got confused about where I needed to be because my trainer's face and clothing kept changing. So confusing.

There was a large, smelly dead animal.

April 21: I was walking through Walmart with a family from the hills of Tennessee. There was a dad with cowboy hat and all his kids – there were like a million of them and they were all very out of touch with social norms. As we walked through the store, they got bored and started a family sing along of some hymns. I was picking up pennies off the floor, some were real and some were fake. With my pennies I bought a bunch of trinkets – gum and cheap makeup mostly. Then I let the siblings choose something from the stash. They were hesitant at first (the girls wore no make up) but eventually picked things. One sister chose mascara and I had to help her put it on. It was so cheap it was all cakey and crusty and bad.

Then later the family gathered around a fire (in a hotel room, I guess...odd) and told stories. I was encouraged to join them but declined. They had a Native American guy who'd been with us who spoke very little English. He tried to tell a story but it was hard to understand. I caught enough to understand that he was trying to propose to me but no one else got it so I didn't say anything.

I was at Jenna's wedding and her mom told me she'd brought a jacket with three layers that could unzip layers based on the weather. In the dream, she wore just the lime green windbreaker vest part. Pre-wedding we all ate pumpkin pie. I was given a little puppy (black and white) to carry down the aisle with me. Emilee attended the wedding and wore a gold dress with white overlay. Dave got a gray shawl with poof balls on it for her to try. We told him shawls were "out", but he asked her to try anyway. Once she had it on, he agreed with us.

April 22:
Dreamed I was at my Uncle Todd's house. He had a cow chained in a pen with a bull. I accidentally let the cow go and couldn't figure out how to get her chained back up.

Then I dreamed I was fighting a bunch of creatures in a house (wraiths, alligators, Minotaur skeletons and others). I was outnumbered and couldn't win so had to run.

I dreamed the song "If You See Kay" (and woke up with it in my head).

I dreamed that Joel and Zack got all excited about liking the same show growing up (that old 90s show "Dinosaurs"). I said I liked it too and Joel started grilling me about why. I answered, but he kept prying. He kept notes in red crayon. He added some of his own to the list about why HE liked the show, like he was trying to prove to me that this show was clearly awesome.
