Real World Dreamer

Here I (sometimes) creatively compose/expose my thoughts, dreams, nightmares, and most of all my Wishful Thinking I'm so fond of contemplating.

Anothern - Watch out Thelma & Louise!

I must dream in the mornings.... and if I wake up at the right moment (this morning's was 5:30 am), then there's a chance I'll remember it. This was another really odd one.

I was on a college campus walking towards the Fine Arts building. There was only 1 other person there. I continued walking down the hall and it turned into the Main building. There was some kind of contest going on, and I thought "I want to(or can) do that!" I was led to where the bunk beds were all lined up against the wall. (They looked very much like the one that the boys had when we were growing up!) I remember there were some red or cranberry colored comforters and I talked a little bit to some people. But I don't remember what it was all about, nor what the contest was! Something happened to which upset me - could've been someone stealing something from me - and so I went to my car in the parking lot and decided to go to the house (possibly in search of something or someone).

On my way up the hill to the house, there was a car behind me tailgating pretty aggressively. (Actually had a girl in a sporty little white car doing that to me -and everyone else- this morning on the way to work!!!) So I tried to accelerate to get the person off my tail, but the car was sluggish. (It wasn't my white Murano. It was maroon, like a Ford Taurus or something like that....) I did get ahead of the tailgater, but I was still really frustrated - so I jumped OUT of the car, and watched itself drive up the hill. As this was happening a normal looking car passed it coming down - turns out to be an off-duty police car... he flipped on his lights turning around to chase it. At this point I realized the car would not be able to turn around that last curve, so I ran and made it to the police car right as he was about to speed off - I was able to shout out to him that that car was mine! He sped up the hill to chase after it, but as I was running I noticed tire tracks going off the road, and off the side where there were some remains of an old dirt road. So I looked over the edge and there was a residence down there with an orchard. I made my way down and some of the kids of the family were out. They weren't aware of a car coming down the cliff. And I vaguely remember one of them having one of my CDs from my car, though...We went into the orchard to find it, and I seem to remember the dad working in the garage with the doors open. Didn't really phase him to see me there with the kids (they were young teens, I think) - or else he was just completely preoccupied. We saw a spot of red in the trees, and went over to it, but it was just a red flannel shirt caught in one of the trees. After scanning everything over I decided it could have gone off the hill at an earlier point, so I began walking in that direction, wondering what kind of damage had been done to the car! And I woke up! I laid there and was refuting some of the points in my dream - tire tracks (more like skid marks)would not have come from a car that did not have someone hitting the brakes in the car. No brakes - well, then - how did the car NOT decelerate?? And then I became awake enough to look at the time. Haven't been alive at 5:30 for a long time - have no idea why it was so this morning!!!

K! So my subconscious brain is a little odd....who knows why I do what I do!

Weirdness of Dreaming

So this is how my brain correlated all the recent events into one incoherent story:

Jarrod & I are on a bridge of some kind....don't know if we were walking or driving. I think walking. A flood of water hits us - I come up out of the water first and shout & wave to J as I see him emerge a little way off. We make our way through the water - sometimes the ground disappears but we make it okay to - ?? - somewhere. There are people there, and we're comfortable with them, but it's not home.

We make plans to leave - we try to get a hold of Amy (Jardine) Dansie, but can't. (St's ex-fiance')

I dreamt of what happened to her. When the floods hit, she panicked and pulled out a long barreled pistol. Someone banged on the door and she opened it and shot. It was a police officer. She freaked out and ran inside. Another officer came in and she shouted that didn't mean to do it and was pointing the gun at that officer. Another officer snuck up on her and grabbed the gun and pointed it at her (but he was very calm and relaxed about the whole thing). Then they took her away.

Jarrod and I went for a short walk trying to find our way in the flooded area. In this outside stairwell was an animal that was lost and abandoned. I went over to it. It was a miniature pony - hemmed in by the waters, and frozen with fear. I picked it up to comfort it and began to carry it back with us to get it some food.

Then I woke up.

How random.
So the floods came from all the flooding in the midwest I hear about in the news. Don't have any idea where the rest came from.... Amy? And then she shoots police men? Miniature horses? Any of ya'll out there know how to interpret dreams?

One of my weirdest to date!
