I haven't written about my dreams lately, because when I wake up in the morning I cannot remember many of the details, so here are some random tidbits that I do remember.
- In one dream, I dreamt I got a dog, only to wake up very disappointed in the morning that I was still pet free.
- In one dream, my family moved (we have lived in the same house for as long as I can remember). The new neighborhood is in my dreams a lot and is a combination between mine and an older neighborhood. It is a lot of chasing dreams where I am running from someone and need to hide. None of the houses have fences and you can run in the yards without trouble, but I somehow always get caught.
- In another dream - I should preface this by saying that I watched The Cove the night before, there were a lot of violent situations. I don't remember a lot of details, but I woke up mildly freaking out.
- One of the other nights, I got about one hour of sleep because I kept waking up with a stomach ache. Booo.
Until next time,
Jen
Day 36
Haven't remembered any of my dreams lately. Except for one - I had one that I was preggers and when they took a sonogram, they saw vegetables inside me. I have no, zip, zilch, non, nicht idea what this dream means. Any thoughts? Any one?
Day 27
Last night, right before I was about to go to sleep I was talking about snakes and I had a dream, err, nightmare about them. I was at my house and there was torrential rain pour for three days. All of a sudden there were hundreds of snakes swimming in my flooded yard. Then, a man who was traveling with an anaconda lost it and it turned up on my deck. It was as long as the entire bannister. I went around terrified clutching a hammer of sorts trying to protect myself. Terrifying. Glad I woke up before a dream snake tried to attack me.
Day 26
Last night I couldn't sleep for the life of me. I had a stressful day full of driving through rain and winds upwards of 60 mph back to Columbia, and yet I still couldn't sleep. However, I did dream a little.
Lately, I have been having a lot of dreams about my former best friend. (It ended badly for a stupid girly reason) I guess I miss her. Anyways, she was trying to attract RSE, and I was really worried for some reason. Insecurity maybe? I don't remember a lot of the dream, but in other dreams about her lately we weren't in a race for a boy, but instead we were close again. In the dream before that we decided to move in together with about 12 other people in a house that used to be a sorority house a long time ago. It was dilapiated and awful but fun at the same time. Hmmmmm..
Day 23
Yadda Yadda .. so our fancy hotel doesn't get service - well, it does - for ten dollars a day - so I decided to have an electronics withdrawal. I have forgotten all of my dreams from the past few evenings, but last night I remember the dream. I have a recurring dream that I consistently forget to go to KBIA. Because of this, they choose to (understandably) let me go. But, this means that I am no longer on my parent's health insurance, but this wasn't the problem last night. The problem was that my convergence group was presenting the story we reported on to a large group for some kind of prize and the staff of KBIA didn't want me to present because I was a terrible employee/student. I spent the entire dream trying to get the position back. I don't know why I always have this dream. I then had another dream. I don't remember much. All I know is there was wine involved.
Toodles.
Day 17
Strange dreams last night. I had a dream that all alarm clocks were reformatted and lied to you to get you up earlier and I was confused whether or not my clock was still in the old format or in the new one. I couldn't decide when to get up. Then I woke up - it was about 8 a.m. and I was scared to go back to sleep in case I didn't get up. I always have dreams about missing class, school, exams, etc... - I think I care too much.
Day 16
Very, very little sleep last night. Got home from a concert in St. Louis at about 2:30 a.m. and didn't fall asleep for a long while. KBIA at 7:30. Ugh. This day is going to be a long one. I never realize how important sleep is until I don't have time for it.
Day 14
Well, last night - scratch that - today's (went to sleep at 7 a.m.) I had very weird dreams. I went tothe future and the past. In the past I was escaping a madman chasing me, puffing in and out of scenes like a movie. I also tried to reunite two of my friends that broke up. It was a weird combination. In the future, I was shopping at a department store that was a cross between Kohl's and Macy's -I'm not quite sure. There were a lot of weird details. The man chasing me looked like Freddy Kruger mixed with an old man. Scary. And now the day is almost over. Sad news.
Day 11
No dreams last night. Lots of snoring. And allergies. And misery. I plan on taking a LOOOOOONG nap this afternoon after class.
Day 10
Didn't have any dreams yesterday (at least that I recalled). What I did have was three interviews - blahhhh.
Last night though, weird dreams ensued. RSE was chasing me and my future roommate around a mall like he was going to kill us. He was also wearing a poncho (!). I then thought he was trying to get AEH because he was in love with her, but that she did not return his feelings. We ran some more. Then, discovery. I found out that he was her brother and that he liked me. Also, he was a successful businessman - something online - and was the proud owner of $27 million. Interesting. No clue on the meaning. Any help?
What do you think?
Day 8
No time for dreams last night. I had a midterm today and therefore got about five hours of sleep. I know I had a dream about the mafia coming after me, but when I woke up I didn't take time to analyze it because I was too busy frantically trying to cram.
I'll take a nap later: weird sleep-deprived dreams are bound to ensue...
Day 7
So.. I don't remember my dreams last night, but I did have an interesting experience. I woke up at ten to go to the restroom and thought, eh, I still have a lot of time to study, so I went back to bed. Woke up at one and realized OH CRAP, it is daylight savings time and I lost an hour. It was actually two. BAHHH. So, it is a day full of frantic studying. I need that long lost hour back!
w.e.i.r.d.
O the dreams I had last night. First, my red Sunfire was suddenly a red Beetle (I was really stoked). Then, as I was driving around, I realized that it was a convertible (double awesome). I drove up to campus and arrived at a form of Peace Park only this park went on for as far as the eye could see. I couldn't find a parking spot and I really needed to study for an exam so I parked randomly and just folded up my car - It was magically inflatable.
So, I carried around my car and my books in my arms trying to find a place to sit and read and review. The first bench I sat at was too big, I couldn't reach - I felt like Goldilocks. I eventually found a table and I studied. Then, RSE and I went to the mall. He was not a happy camper. We went to the jewelry counter and I picked up a greeting card to send to my mother. The cashier took about an hour to check me out. I was infuriated. I was searching for RSE when I woke up.

Day 5
Last night I had a very peculiar dream. It is slipping away faster and faster so I should probably repeat it now. I don't remember a whole lot but I was in front of an audience in a huge lecture h all on campus. I was performing great stunts with fire, etc... Then, after my act, I really needed to get some homework done. I had to read an old, old book that was rare and expensive. It accidentally caught on fire. I was freaking out when I woke up. Weird. And slightly reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland.
I think that means I better to get studying!

Day 4
Last night, I had terrible allergies and did not sleep very well, thus I don't really remember my dreams. I know they were good ones though because I didn't want to wake up. I finally woke up after three alarms of my own and two of RSE only to realize its Thursday - not Friday. Weekend, please get here.
Since I cannot remember my own, I will tell you one that I used to dream of a lot as a child. Behind my house at my parent's house there is a little patch of woods. I used to dream that there was a wolf that would come out and chase me underneath my deck. I would hide in the shed there and wait and wait, but he wouldn't leave.
Analysis: According to Dream Moods, a wolf symbolizes "survival, beauty, solitude, mystery, self-confidence and pride. You are able to keep your composure in a variety of social circumstances and blend into any situation with ease and grace. You are also a loner by choice. Negatively, the wolf represents hostility, aggression, or sneakiness. It may reflect an uncontrollable force or situation in your life." Well, I don't know about the uncontrollable and worrisome situation - I was about five, but the lone wolf makes me laugh. I am reminded of Zach Galifianakis in The Hangover.
You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, "Wait a second, could it be?" And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!
I will leave you on that note. :)
Day 3
Last night I had a strange dream - it was a befuddlement (word?) of all the things floating in my head after (a) a long day, (b) watching Gangs of New York and (c) weirdness.
I started off dreaming about cutting my own hair - it was a disaster. I was just trying to fix this very tiny piece and ended up hacking away. Then, it transitioned into going on a date with RSE, and then somehow I was with my family. All of the girls on my mother's side of the family were having a game and snack night. It was nice to see everyone until they had me hold a new baby and all of a sudden the room started filling up with water and I was so scared for the baby - not myself.
Analysis: Well, with the amalgam of things going on in my mind I don't know if it can ever be analyzed, but I will do my best. I was once holding my niece and a giant wave on the beach came out of no where and we went under and I think she is slightly traumatized so I think it is my guilt for that. Also, I think the extreme stress that I am under right now is reflected in this dream. I have midterms, paper, personal commitments, Relay For Life activities, a video to make for KBIA (local NPR station), MyMissourian and CoMoYouKnow posts... etc.. when does the list end.
Stressed? Tell me about your biggest stress on your plate right now.
Day 2
Last night, I had a strange dream, but I don't really remember it. I woke up quite frightened and confused. My alarm went off at 5:45 for a Lions Club Meeting and the song was playing in my dream. I was at Relay for Life (I am on the Steering Committee) and things were going very wrong. My ringtone was playing and I was half-awake and realized something was wrong and I jumped up and got ready. Almost late. Not as exciting as AEH's war dreams, but I promise - I have some weird ones.
Share your weird dreams!

So that you will better know me and to have a little fun, I am going to post my dreams (that I remember) and create a sort of dream diary. Since I do not remember mine, I am going to post my roommate's dreams:
Lately, I have been having a bunch of war dreams. In the first one, I was fighting in combat and I had a gun and everything because I was a soldier and I got shot in the side. It was scary, but I survived and I got the purple heart, but for some reason they would only let me do office work from then on. In the next dream, I was in the CIA posted in Afghanistan. I was on a mission, but for some reasons my friends came and they got caught. I was really pissed because I was on a secret mission. I had to go find them, and I did and for some reason they were in an apartment building that was missing one of the walls. The terrorists were also really nice to me.
Do you have any interesting dreams? Tell me about them.
