Song Of The However Long I Feel Like..

Sliding Uphill

Dreamt I either kissed Sara Quin or was at least dating her.

Then I was in this casino and met this guy. We went to this snowy mountain and he told me I would find peace if I slid down this bluish snow/sand on the mountain. I slid down but it freaked me out. It felt more like quicksand and also the blue sand/snow was collapsing from mountains higher than the one I was sliding down, and it was falling in around me. I wasn't scared in my body really, I was more projecting the feelings of terror outside of my body. Like I was also watching myself from above and freaking out in that body. Eventually I slid UP another hill (I know that sounds ridiculous) and at first I thought this was a good idea being higher but another landslide hits me and I can't breathe. I wake up breathing heavily.

End Of The World

I'm at my parents' old house and I have my dog in my arms. I hear people singing in the trees outside. I'm not sure what song, it could have been three (very different) songs..: Don't Fear The Reaper, Thank God I'm A Country Boy, or America The Beautiful. I know, how can I possibly not tell these songs apart? I don't know. Anyways, I walk outside to see who is singing in the trees, but instead I look over in the direction the sun is setting, near the cranberry marsh. I watch as fireworks go off. Then suddenly the sky gets dark and there are lights lighting up in odd places in the sky. I think that it's the end of the world and I cling to my dog as tightly as possible. I turn around, not wanting to see what will happen, but when I turn, I am back in the position I was in, facing the cranberry marsh. I turn around again and still I am facing the cranberry marsh. I do this a few times, utterly confused as to why I couldn't turn around. At some point when I turn around I notice a white shadow of a person in the reflection of the window in the door. I freak out and close my eyes and cradle my dog in my arms, trying to wake myself up. I wake up in bed and hear Devin watching TV (the video looks like old-school Little Rascals and the audio is super loud and it sounds like newer Rob Zombie music). I think to myself that this must have been why I was having a nightmare. I grab my journal to write down my dream but the journal breaks apart and pages fall out. I still continue to write instead of grabbing pages and worrying about my journal and that's when I notice that this isn't right, so I must be dreaming. Then I really wake up.

The Radio Announcement.

Dreamt I was with family and that my cousin Mel was telling us that her two birds died. Then my mom told my sister and I that she was getting married to this guy she has been seeing. We're happy for her, although at first my sister wasn't. Then I'm this actress that hasn't acted in awhile. I look a bit like Kate Hudson in my dream, so maybe I was supposed to be her. Anyways, I am on the roof of my dad's chicken coop (when I was younger my sister and I would climb a ladder and sit up there and watch my dad and his friends party down the hill by our pond, so maybe I was visiting my home and trying to do the things I once did). I jumped off the roof and landed perfectly fine. Then I started walking up to the house and could hear the radio playing. I heard an announcer say, "Alyssa Oppelt's father passed away last month and.." I didn't hear the rest. I wasn't surprised when I heard the news, so I guess I knew about this. Anyways, I was in a somber mood and walked around towards the front yard and stopped by my mom's old green car she used to drive. It was open and that was where the radio came from. I turned the radio off and noticed an old necklace I wore when I was younger (in the dream. Not in real life..), so I picked it up. One of our bedroom windows was open, so I looked for a skeleton key to open the house door with, but couldn't find one. I kept walking to the front yard and saw my mom and sister cleaning up the yard.

Visiting Dana In Madison.

My friend Dana spent the night here, so I dreamt that she and I were planning on having me come to Madison to see her. We were looking at our schedules and seeing what days worked.

The Invisible Troll.

I just spent an hour online looking for the dream I swear I posted somewhere on some site and finally realized that an hour searching is a lot longer than ten minutes writing the damn thing all over again, so I'll just do that.


I dreamt I was at my aunt's house and Tegan and Sara were having a concert outside. My boyfriend's birthday was that day apparently, so they called him up and invited his family and they were about to invite me up but I noticed my mom wasn't with me and the rest of my family, so I wandered off to look for her. I walked to where I grew up and went to the chicken coop on my parent's property and searched for her in there. There were two people in there, so I asked them if they saw her and they told me that she and two others were kidnapped. They just disappeared, all on separate occasions. I rounded up my sister and some other girl and we all held hands and were about to head back to my aunt's house in the dark, but I saw movement in the woods. I pointed and told them that I knew that whatever was moving in the woods is what kidnapped mom. Suddenly I also knew that whatever kidnapped her was this invisible creature.. Like a troll-type of creature. We keep walking through the woods, still holding hands, until we get towards the swampier areas of the woods on my parent's property. Somehow we gain weapons.. Pickaxes and things like that. And then I'm being dragged by something I cannot see. I want my sister and this other woman to just kill this beast now, but I know that if they do, we will never see Mom again. Eventually he lets go of me and we immediately kill him. Then we notice what looks like a fresh and unpacked dirt-mound. I begin digging with my hands, hoping that this is the beast's lair and that Mom was somewhere nearby. I make a good-sized hole in the ground and I yell really loud for Mom. I can't tell if I am hearing her or my echo, but something inside me tells me that I know that if I dig further down, I'll find a tunnel and that this is why my voice could be echoing or why hers could be so quiet and that maybe it's her echo I'm hearing. I wake up before I have a chance to dig any further down.

In The Backseat.

Dreamt I was with Devin and this other couple. We were dropping the couple off to their house. Before this, we were in some place and the man in the relationship kept trying to flirt with me but he really turned me off because he was really religious. I and the woman were both in the backseat and the men were in the front seats. I don't know what came over me, but I put my hand on the woman's thigh and she didn't flinch. Soon enough we were both feeling each other up. Eventually I woke up in a REALLY good mood, if you know what I mean. lol.

There Is No Fate But What We Make For Ourselves.

Dreamt I was Linda Hamilton. :) lol. A meteor had hit Earth and I woke up and called for a private helicopter. Meanwhile, I walked to this building that is like a quarantine. While the staff there was trying to make sure I was alright, I was thinking to myself that in the future they would 'clean' me and find something strange and want to fix me, but in the process the way that they fix me makes me come into contact with something that ends up giving me cancer. I tell myself I need to make sure they don't fix me, this why I can change fate.

Beam Me Up, Scotty.

Dreamt I was with my sister Sarah and our friend Heather and that we made a robot. They wanted to go get something for the robot and I was about to follow but I noticed my bird CL and he was really hungry and thirsty and looked weak. I gave him food and water.

Then I was on this spaceship with Devin and some other woman. (Possibly Tegan Quin?) I don't really remember but in my notes I wrote that it could have been hear. Devin was flirting with some other woman (not the one that may have been Tegan) and it pissed me off. I was playing poker with two girls I used to be friends with and I ended up losing the game. Then somehow all three of us (not the woman he was flirting with) were being followed by these bad guys wearing these long robes and their faces were shadowed by hoods. They were following us because I lost at the poker game. We got into this elevator and Devin tried to teleport is to safety (a la "Beam Me Up, Scotty") but the transportation wouldn't work. The way it worked was that we would huddle together in a hug, but whenever we would disappear, we would re-appear in the same place. The elevator opens and we rush around down a hallway and I grab this card that looks kind of like a credit card and I slide it into this machine but it's taking forever to start up. (This machine could have possibly been a transportation device I'm guessing). It was taking forever so we decided to go into this cafeteria, hoping we could get lost in the sea of faces. When we walk into the cafeteria we all look different. Tegan and I are dressed like men and are sporting these short wigs and Devin is in a long wig and wearing women's clothing. The guard also comes in dressed like a woman as well when he is clearly a man. He looks over at us and notices out actual hair poking out of our wigs but he doesn't do anything because he feels silly dressed like a woman.
