Lots Of Tongue

Okay, I might have been going through major sleep paralysis in the first bit of my dream. I know it was lightning and down-pouring, I remember looking out the window. (In my waking life, it was actually storming that night, so maybe it was projecting into my dreams..) I was in the process of awakening, but couldn't move. I remember trying to yell to Devin, who was beside me in bed, "Wake me up! Wake me up!" I felt like I couldn't do it myself, and I could only whisper through my lips. I could hear myself, in my dream, yelling, and myself, outside of my dream, whispering. It was eerie. Finally Devin rolls over, tells me I'm fine, and goes back to bed. Eventually I finally awake completely, but right beforehand I felt someone touch my left hand. I was freaking out thinking a ghost tapped my hand. I couldn't sleep for awhile after that, so I wrote down what happened.

Finally I went back to sleep, and I dreamt that I was visiting my dad and he told me he read my dream blog, about some dream where I was kissing a Quin Twin with "lots of tongue". I was blushing in my dream, embarrassed that he read my blog, but in my waking life I have seriously never dreamt about kissing either twin with 'lots of tongue', or any tongue for that matter - god dammit. :( That was a weird dream, too. The next part I wrote down I don't remember the details, just that my dad's workplace was making a documentary. Then I'm walking to my childhood home. I get to the back porch, and enter the utility room. There are dog beds in the closet area of the utility room, and my dog Bear and Ziggy are there, along with two dogs, Wyatt and Tuffy, whom have passed away in my waking life. I remember my dog Bear kept wanting to bite Tuffy. Tuffy was a fat dachshund, so he was a small little guy compared to Bear's St. Bernard/Lab mix. I was really scared Bear would tear Tuffy to shreds, so I kept forcing myself between them to protect Tuffy. At some point, Bear quit bothering him, so I walked to the living room and looked out the door. It was raining really hard and then these fish the size of big northerns started falling to the ground along with the rain. I got scared and backed away from the door. Then I went back to the utility room and instead of the dogs there, my boyfriend's sister Cherish and her boyfriend Monte were there sitting on a couch (in the utility room, I don't know why). I decided to call Devin, my boyfriend, to see where he was and I heard a little kid's voice in the background. I joked about hearing a kid and tease him about cheating on me and having a family started with some other woman. He got quiet and really defensive then. I bawled, realizing it was true. Cherish gets mad at Devin for what he did, but I leave the house and hang up on him. I decided to walk into the woods, towards the road. I call my aunt Erin and tell her what happened. Then I hang up again and walk some more in the woods. I meet up with Sara Quin and strangely we seem to be in a relationship or something. It doesn't last for long, though. First, Devin's cousin Trevor starts chasing us in the woods. Then, I project out of my body and some woman is taking the place as Sara's girlfriend/the one getting chased. I'm just a third wheel trying to help them get to safety. Eventually we get to the road. It's autumn, cold, rainy. Leaves are falling from the painted-orange trees. A car pulls up and I look over at the other two and think "We're safe." They have the same look to them. Then a guy gets out and he looks like Taylor Handley (again, I had to look this guy up. I've only seen him in one thing, and it was Dawson's Creek a few years ago. It's strange how the brain stores hidden, insignificant information and visuals.) When I saw him exit the car and tell us to get in, I thought, "Great. Just like in the movies, he's supposed to be my knight in shining armor." I don't know why I thought that, but he smiled arrogantly, so it just got worse from there. The guy chasing us was closing in, and although I was thinking over whether I wanted to deal with this guy or the one chasing me, I eventually got in the car with Sara and her new girlfriend.

At some point in this dream, I actually remembered dreaming about the denim clothes that I wrote in this blog. I think writing these dreams down for so long is starting to make the memory of my waking life better.

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.

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.

Sara Quin - Super Hero.

Dreamt Sara Quin wrote this graphic novel and that it kind of became a part of my dream. I saw Sara on this roof dressed all in black (not like, super hero lycra outfits or anything. To be honest, it very well could have been black denim jeans and jacket. ) and she had superhuman powers and strength. She had this slight evil-vibe but I think she was a good person. She was fighting this other guy on the roof and they were kind of fighting quite obnoxiously. Bashing each other into things and breaking shit. Eventually she won the fight and the guy's body disappeared. Then she starts narrating my dream. I see this wedding and I hear her talking in my dream, inside my head, but not directly in the dream. I saw this teenage Sara-looking girl with super long hair dressed in this white ruffly dress walk out and Sara started narrating in the dream something about how she was about to meet another person with superhuman powers. Then a little girl that is dressed similar to her and has the same long hair and same brown eyes (the only difference if any is maybe a decade in age. This little girl was probably 5 or 6, while "Sara" looked to be about 17 or 18.) The dream ended with a camera zoom into the girl and then the 'camera/my view' stopped moving and let the girl and Sara both walk down the aisle, away from view.

Random Shit.

Dreamt a bunch of random shit..

Dreamt I was at a Tegan and Sara concert and that they brought some random dude out to sing with them on a song.

Also dreamt my dad had to go to war (I've been watching Band Of Brothers lately).

Then I dreamt I was at this cranberry marsh and I was sitting on the back of this trailer that was being hauled somewhere, only I fell off. It was hauling this huge, round black plastic contraptions and when I fell I was afraid that they would fall off as well and tumble onto me. (Dreamt this part because the night before I was reading about strange ways people had died and I read that a woman died from a huge billboard falling on her.)

Also dreamt that I caught my mom with a married man.

Into The Woods

Dreamt that my boyfriend was hanging around someone else, and I was so pissed that I ran off into the woods. I hid up in this tree hoping to god that Devin wouldn't be able to find me. My bird Silly was in the tree, too. The tree I was in was up against a house, right next to a window. I was kind of between the tree and these curtains. My sister's ex-friend found me up in the tree and told me that she needed me to help her unlock something and save this woman (whom happened to be the girl my boyfriend was messing around with from before). I remember being on the floor of a bedroom with all these different pieces of gum on the floor with the wrappers open and the gum poking out. I had to find the right flavor to unlock whatever it was that was keeping this woman prisoner. I remember thinking that the answer had to do with a Tegan and Sara song (to be specific, a Sara one). I ended up sabotaging the whole thing because I didn't want to save the woman. Devin wasn't happy with me because I ruined the whole thing and risked her life. Then I woke up, but only to be in another dream in bed writing down my dream I had just then. I opened my journal and found that it was set up more like a crossword, so I was having difficulties writing down my dream in such little space I had.

* I should say that the reason I dreamt that last bit is because when I first started writing down dreams, I'd find the first paper I had nearby and quickly write down a dream, be it a crossword puzzle. I have so many crossword books that have dreams written all around trailing in circles from outer to inner and some that continue on other pages..

Movie Making

Dreamt that Devin made a video but that the audio sync was off at the end and also the credits rolled by too fast. Also, Tegan and Sara were in my dream but they looked younger. They even had their heads shaved and were wearing the poofy vests in my dream. It was odd.

Waiting For Something.

Dreamt I was in my parents' old kitchen and I was playing a game of darts with Tegan & Sara's guitarist Ted Gowans. After that, he left and I took a shower and some guy that was also there when I was shooting darts was peeking in at me from the kitchen, which for some weird reason I really didn't mind at all. Some time after this, I appeared on this huge platform that kept circling around on this lake. I was with a billion different people, and we seemed to be waiting for something to happen. It was dark out, but I believe it was daytime because at one point the sky itself was a bright light blue with these dark clouds dispersing. The lake itself was still dark along with the atmosphere, but only above us, high up into the heavens, was it bright. It felt eerie. At that point I thought we were all going to die. Like a meteorite was headed for us or something. Also, since the platform we were all on was circling around in the water, I thought that the lake was starting to make an eddy. Then I dreamt I was back in high school, only it felt more like elementary school or something. I was with a bunch of adults my age at these desks. Everyone had to do this math problem that was on this flash card and at first I was rockin' it, thinking I knew exactly what I needed to do, but then I forgot the initial problem and some woman beside me had the flash card and was studying it for the longest time. I didn't want to lean in and look and have the teacher yell at me thinking I was cheating, but I knew I'd get the answer wrong if I didn't know the problem. Then I couldn't see my paper, so I used my phone as a light but my aunt Donna (she must have been the teacher or something) turned a bright light on in the room and yelled at me for using my phone. Then I went to a secondhand store and my aunt Erin and I started looking at these packages of shorts and boxing gloves you could get in a set. One had the band The Kinks on it. I was contemplating on that one for some reason, but then I saw these adorable blue shoes with yellow anchors all over them. They were ballet flats.

Gay Ending.

Dreamt I was in college, corresponding through the internet. I'm working on math. Very confusing and impossible fractions, to be exact. My mom and sister and some random old lady are trying to help me with my homework, but at some point the old lady distracts me by noticing a pearl bracelet I'm wearing. I explain something about it, and then I get back to my homework and have to click on this link to talk to a small group of other classmates online and the link wouldn't show, it was broken. Then my mom gives me this graphic novel and tells me excitedly about it. It's this woman that looks only slightly like her. She's a detective and going through a divorce. (In real life, my mom has always wanted to be a detective thanks to shows like Matlock, Murder She Wrote, Perry Mason, Law & Order, etc.. She's also divorced.) So I look through the book, I remember lots of reds, yellows and blues in the book. Also, at some point the woman grabs a bunch of produce from a supermarket and starts chucking the fruit at her ex-husband's house.

This next part I cannot for the life of me make out. It's a bunch of scribbles on my journal. Here's the closest I can come up with:

Took photo camera sound T&S boyman ??? <- Boyman? Batman? Boothawn? Boy's hawn? I don't know.

Then I'm walking up the pond road where my family used to live and the ground is covered in snow. I notice my mom's legs sticking out of a plastic container-tub behind an electric fence. I go over and realize the electric fence isn't on, so I climb through and pull my mom out and she's drunk off her ass. Apparently she fell into it and didn't realize. So I walk her up the hill/road while she staggers.

Then I'm in a Walmart parking lot, looking into the back of a truck. Some guy is sitting in it and he has three stuffed animals that I had owned when I was little. One of them was "Frankie", my monster of frankenstein doll I cherished as a kid. I pointed him out and told the guy I wanted the doll back. He grabbed it but the doll was tangled up in the thread of the two other dolls. I climbed into the truck to help untangle him and the truck started moving and eventually parked in the driveway of the house I grew up in. The dream turned slightly sexual for a few minutes. The guy I was with kept brushing his hands near my thighs.

Then I'm in this city hall and there are tables all over the place, booklets with the word "Homophobia" and pictures of rainbows splashed on the covers. A person with the booklet tells me I missed the meeting. We were supposed to talk about the negative effects of homophobia. I talk to the person for a few seconds about it, and then I walk out of the building. I start walking down the street and I have my dog Moses with me. (He's a tiny little guy, half-Papillon, half-Chihuahua). I see my brother Joran in the doorway of an arcade room and he smiles at Moses and hugs me and says he misses us (the family. He lives in Florida.) Then he asks me where Sarah (sister) and Mom live, and I tell him they live in town above Sportsman's Bar and he looks half in anger, half in disappointment and says "I wonder why they never visit me, then." We both walk into the arcade room and Joran starts playing one of the games. My uncle Thane is standing next to him also playing a game. Joran wins a game and starts typing his name in but for some reason I saw, "Wecarealot" Which is a Faith No More song. Which is a band Joran loves. I point at the high scores and say, "That looks like "We Care A Lot" and Joran laughs and starts singing the song and some girl turns around behind us and puts her arm around Joran and sings along as well (and at some point they sing the words "gays and lesbos" in the song.. I remember that.)

Mouse In My House.

* I need to explain why I dreamt this and why it scares me. I found out we have shrews in our basement, and this wouldn't have scared me if Devin hadn't told me that the shrews will eat the mice that die in the mouse traps we have down there. Also, about a week before I found out about said shrews, I was grabbing my phone charger that fell behind my bed and swear something small lashed out at me. Shrew or mouse, I don't care. They're both on my shit list now.


Dreamt I was at my parent's old house in the bedroom I stayed in. I was grabbing clothes and I see this mouse (scared at the sight of my ugly mug, perhaps) and he flies from the dresser to the wall and then shimmies himself around to the door and out into the living room. I run out to the living room (with caution in case the mouse is in the room still) and see the musicians Tegan and Sara Quin. After calming myself down a bit, I tell them what happened.




LOL, I love this short film.. Zack Kahn is incredibly brilliant. You should check out his parodies:

I Could Never Be Your Woman

Dreamt I was at my grandfather's house and that I was engaged to be married to my ex-boyfriend. In the dream, I broke it off with him because I wanted to be with a woman instead and he hated me a LOT after that. While he's with his friends talking things over, I'm in a bedroom trying on a bunch of Tegan and Sara shirts I must have recently purchased. They are really poor quality shirts, though. One had the graphics cut off from another shirt and sewn crooked onto a beige shirt with this cropped purple coat over the top. Then my sister's dog is bleeding and he bumps into me and I go to clean my black leggings (that I wore to bed that night) and the water I sprayed on turned them grey in spots, making me realize it was bleach I was using. At first I was pissed but then I kept spraying them until they looked all kinds of different greys. I walk out of the bedroom and I'm at my old house in the kitchen with my friend Dana and a bunch of others. She kisses some skater-looking kid on the cheek and he smiles. Then I'm in this classroom and I'm taking a test and this guy in front of me is an ass and keeps bullying me. During the test, my necklace broke and I was trying to pick up what pieces I could find. After that, I'm outside at night and decide I need to take pictures of the moon because the last time they didn't turn out. I try changing the setting on my camera to a night setting, but when I look up at the sky, I notice that it is cloudy as fuck and there's no way I'll be able to see anything.

The Ocean.

Dreamt I was in California. I am on this interstate on-ramp and I'm getting off of it (on foot) and running down this hill to the interstate itself. There are people running to the interstate with me. It's a frenzy just to get to the there. Apparently the ocean is rising tremendously because of melted polar ice caps. When I reach the interstate, I get to this red car that at first drives off without me, but it turns back to pick me up. Once I get to the car I notice the driver is a man and a woman is in the backseat. We drive for awhile but at some point they turn into two women. One was driving (this one kind of looked like Sara Quin's ex-girlfriend Emy) and the other girl was kind of on top of me, facing me. I'm heavily making out with this girl. She's super hot and she even has the Tegan & Sara "mullet" of '07-'08. We cuddle for warmth and we were scared shitless that the water would reach us and we'd drown. I put my hand down the woman's pants and accidentally scratch her. She winces and I apologize a lot and tell her "I'm sorry, I was trying to pet.." and she smiles at this and I finish my sentence with, "..my pet." We kept making out and this Emy driver kind of kept driving/watching us. Unfortunately, the two women turn into the couple from before and all the carefree feelings I had with the lesbian couple went to worrisomeness when I remembered that the ocean is rising. We're driving from California to the middle states as fast as we can. I watch as we pass cars in super speed. The road is even blurry with how fast we are driving. I think in my head that if the water reaches us, I have to wake myself up. While I put my safety belt on, I joke to the driver that it would suck if this interstate went north and not east. He laughs and then makes this seriously horrified look on his face. The only word he could pipe out of his mouth was, "Shit." I look out the window and I notice this ten-feet high water flowing from this field that was down this hill we were driving past. The water was close. I open my door and watch as the water gets nearer. When I look back at him the water is already underneath us. First I think I need to jump out of the car at a certain time like the characters in Titanic did. The driver stays in the car, motionless. Wide-eyed. I stay with him. I reach over towards him and I kiss his forehead and say, "Sorry.. I have to go." I start blinking my eyes and eventually wake up.

Go, Greyhound. Go.

Dreamt I was in this computer room or maybe just a bedroom with a computer in it. There were collages on the walls. A woman is also in the room and she digs me. She disappears and an Indian woman appears in her place. We're in love for some reason and she tells me she has to go. This is where the republicans come into play. They are trying to kidnap her (because we're both women, dating). I give her a hug and hate myself to see her have to leave. I lean in to kiss her cheek but instead I whisper to her that I'll meet her somewhere. Maybe the republicans were listening in? I don't know. She disappears and I get on computer. But then Sara Quin appears in the room and she wants to take a picture with me. As the camera lens gets nearer, I notice how filthy it is, so I try to clean it off as best as I could. Then everything disappears and I'm living in the house I grew up in. I'm with Devin and we're waiting for my dad to pick us up to take us to Minnesota. He doesn't show up at the right time, so I call my mom and ask her where he is. Then I start packing and put my stuffed animal Robot and Macbook in a backpack and wait some more. Then I'm outside and I notice this huge greyhound parked outside. Instead of letting us on, Dad gets off and the greyhound leaves. Then I woke up.

Northshore and Tomatoes, Tomatoes.

Dreamt I was listening to Tegan and Sara's 'Sainthood' record, and was playing Northshore. The song sounded fuzzy and wrong, and realized a few seconds later that one of the speakers wasn't completely in. I fix it and begin playing it again. Then my aunt comes in and complains her shoulder hurts, I ask if she got it from work, and she says it's from putting sheets and blankets in her guest bedrooms at her house. Then I went to this family reunion of my dad's and my mom was strangely there (my mom and dad are divorced). My aunt Cindi assumed I was getting married and asked me if the last name "R______ - Oppelt" sounded nice. (I didn't get the 'R__' last name, she said it too fast for me to comprehend..) I said. "I prefer just Oppelt", which in my weird way of responding meant "I am not getting married." My mom looked at us awkwardly and she said "Like they say, tomatoes, tomatoes.. (lol, this is hard to write this out but read that with one of the tomatoes with a hard 'a', the other a soft 'a'" My aunt didn't get my mom's weird banter, and my aunt said something kind of similar to that, and my mom said "That's pretty much what I meant. We just say it differently from where I come from."

On My Own.

Dreamt I was in a car with my sister Sarah and aunt Erin. We were listening to Tegan and Sara (actually, we were listening to this on CASSETTE, fyi.). At some point I randomly mention how horrendous Katie Holmes' version of On My Own was (she sang this on Dawson's Creek). They badly want to hear it, because.. well, we have no life and they wanted to have a laugh. For some reason, I have the song but we keep playing the wrong one. Erin takes out another cassette from her glove box and I look at it and for some reason I see "Are You Ten Years Ago" and I think this is the song that Katie Holmes sings bad on. (Eep. In reality, I really do like this song.) Then the song "A Teenager In Love" by Dion & The Belmonts plays and it starts skipping. I wake up to the song actually skipping in my CD player.

Torture Show

Dreamt I was getting ready to go to this restaurant that had a very strange entertainment experience for the customers. My mom and sister were coming with me, and my sister was explaining to me what the restaurant does. While I was putting makeup on in the bathroom, she explained that while we eat, the waiters would have this competitive game of torture. We would have to endure as much as possible to gain some sort of reward every time we achieved one of the tortures. The example my sister gave me was that they might hit our hands with hammers and if we'd consent to it, we'd continue on to the next round. I walked out of the bathroom and into the dining room and there were a bunch of people. Not just in the dining room but in the living room and kitchen as well. My dad came home and, although he was still supposedly dating his girlfriend of now, he was still really civil towards my mom. I guess his girlfriend worked at a soda factory in my dream, because he brought home a few cases. I started telling everyone in the house about where we were going, and explained the rules and used the hammer-example my sister used, and they thought it was a dumb idea. (Duh.) The restaurant was in La Crosse, WI, and I remember telling everyone that it'd be broadcast on TV, so they should watch for us. I went outside to get into the van and realized I forgot music, so I went back inside to grab a Tegan & Sara CD, but an asian dude I don't really know in real life stopped me in the living room and asked me what channel we'd be on. He was flipping through channels on my real-life childhood clunky console television set we had. I told him I wasn't sure about which channel we would be on, but that I'd call him when I got to the van and asked mom.

Monkey Business

Dreamt I had these super powers and my dad was really proud of me. He gave me lots of attention, and it made my mom and sister (Sarah) extremely jealous from the attention I got, so this made my mom and sister real awful towards me. In my dream, I still lived with my family and that our normal one-story house was a two-story. I remember climbing out of the bedroom window and walking to the edge of the roof by the porch. Then I climbed down this dinky metal post we normally have that supports the roof to the porch. Then I ran through the woods, down the hill, to our pond we had on our property. I walked around the pond until I got to the swampy areas on our property. Then I wondered if there were snakes out yet, so I kind of freaked myself out and retreated back up to the house, but crept through the woods checking for my mom and sister. I saw that they were also in the woods planning how to kill me, but barely a few yards from our yard, so I kind of booked it away from the house back to the marsh. Then I saw this tree and tried to shimmy myself up it but it kept wanting to bend down and show I was in it because I was too heavy for the tree. Then the tree fell on my dad's camper that he has near the pond, and I jump off and kept walking. I get to this library and poke around in it and look at a few of the books on the shelves. I remember seeing a shelf of Piers Anthony books, only they were romance novels and the one I picked up had an island on the cover and the title had the word "autumn" in it. After setting the book down, I decide to use a computer and find a way to move away from home. Before I get to a computer I see (the musician) Sara Quin looking at a couple books in this area that looked more like it was set up for children. I get distracted from my idea to move away and walk over to her. We both start flirting, but after a couple minutes I see my mom and sister walk in. I quickly hide under this table and Sara hides under it with me. We both are scared and hold hands. Then Sara turns into a monkey (waaah, I wanted human Sara back) and my mom notices this Sara-monkey. The setting changes and I'm walking down the driveway back to my house and my mom is trying to coax Sara-monkey to come home with us (because in my real life, my mom has wanted a monkey since she was a child). Sara-monkey is scared and hides behind a tree and doesn't really want my mom to be near her at all. I woke up at some point.

If Arcade Fire and Tegan & Sara Played Together, I'd Be A Happy Camper.

Dreamt Devin and I were walking down this road, barely any traffic. I point to Devin that there is this really cool bridge we could walk on next to the road. The bridge does these twists and turns that look similar to roller coasters. Devin and I took a picture next to the bridge, because it was pretty. When I looked at the picture I realized I was dressed like Angus Young of AC/DC. How odd. I had this phone that was capable of getting on the internet (I know, most phones do that now, but mine doesn't, so this was weird..) and I uploaded the picture on some site and the picture turned out small and blurry. Some asshat commented on the picture about how shitty the quality was and I wanted to respond back to him with a snide remark, but the site wouldn't let me comment. At some point I remember Betty White being in my dream and mentioned the name "Laura Palmer". (I'm watching Twin Peaks this week, so this is definitely why I heard her say that name.) I was back on my phone and I was looking up concerts. I guess in my dream, Arcade Fire was going to have a concert soon and the opening bands were HIM and Tegan & Sara. (They wouldn't both open, but open on separate dates. I was really hoping Tegan & Sara would be the openers near my area). Then I was waiting for these live songs of Tegan & Sara's to finish downloading or something and heard my dogs barking real loud. They were fighting outside, but they were fenced in near this other house like a football field away. I'm running and screaming for Devin to help me break them apart. He took forever and I remember getting pissy with him for that. When I finally got to the dogs, they stopped fighting and the woman that played Kit in Pretty Woman (Laura San Giacomo) was there. She was apparently our neighbor in the dream and I apologized to her for having the dogs being a nuisance and thanked her for helping us. She said she was glad to help and wanted to get to know us anyways.

Beautiful Girl.

Okay, I don't really remember this dream, so I'm going to have to write this down straight from my journal:

"Sara Quin was in my dream. I'm in a room with a bunch of people on the floor, chilling. Something to do with the song that was playing at the time."


Also I dreamt I was at this veterinarian clinic and all the pets looked like their owners. Then I was outside in the backyard of my house with my family visiting, and I walked around to the front and found my dogs playing with the stuffed animal I recently (seriously) made for a friend, plus a bunch of other stuffed animals from my childhood. I grabbed all the stuffed animals I could and while carrying them inside the house to safety, I heard the song that was playing in my room while I was sleeping. I woke up halfway through the song. It was INXS's Beautiful Girl.

He Turned Everyone I Knew Into Statues.

Dreamt I was in this bar and a bunch of people I knew were in there. Devin and his co-workers and some friends. I walked around at one point and saw this girl I used to like so I talked to her, but noticed she didn't actually look like herself. So I thought in my head, "Look what is happening to us. You're out of my life, and now I'm forgetting what you even look like." So I had to leave her. I went to this back room that looked like my old bedroom. I felt like I was in a hotel room, though, because on the floor was a telephone and I called Tegan & Sara's hotel room and asked (because I knew they wouldn't want to come to my hotel room) if they knew this girl's hotel room number so that I could ask her to come back. I hung up right away, though, before they answered. Then I heard a phone alarm go off, when I found it, I turned it off. (It was my boyfriend's. It said "Devin signature" on the screen or something, which meant something to do with his credit card and the signature, I was thinking.) Then I heard my own phone go off, and I found it underneath my old TV in the living room at my old house. I answered, and it was this old man with a distinct english accent. He sounded suspicious. He tried to keep the conversation going even though I wanted to hang up. I had a feeling he was on his way to come to the room to get me. I walked out of my old house and walked around to the driveway. Then I saw all the people from the bar as statues. All grey marble-looking. It freaked me out and made me think this old man was a gargoyle or a vampire and he was killing everyone close to me so he could get to me. I turned around and then saw him wearing this black cape and he was coming at me, I backed up and repeated to myself "wake up.. wake up.. wake up.." while flinching in my dream body and feeling myself writhe in my real body. Then it started getting hard for me to breathe. I seriously thought in my dream that I was dying in my real body and that if I didn't wake up soon, I never would. Finally, as soon as my face writhed out of the covers I was under, I felt like I was surfacing from underwater or something. I could breathe and I woke up taking that breath in. Then my head started hurting really bad.
