Fishing For Humans.

Dreamt a weird one.. First, I was in a half-way point between being in my parents' pond to also being at the playground of my elementary school at the same time. It was weird. Maybe the playground was just really flooded, I don't know, but I remember swimming to "Woody" (what we called our favorite wooden (NON-PLASTIC, OY VEY I REMEMBER THE SPLINTERS NOW) playground equipment) and yelling at my boyfriend (he was in the water with his dad fixing a boat) to help me with something, but his dad wouldn't let him help me, so I got pissed and jumped back in the water and swam to shore. Now I am on my parents' property and I'm walking around the pond (away from my old house) and through the woods. Strangely the woods turns into what looks to be set up like an opera theater. I'm walking through these red velvet seats and I see this balcony. I overhear someone call it a "badminton". I walk up the steps and into the balcony and sit next to this girl (that was my friend in high school, but not anymore, I kind of hate her guts now). She has a blanket wrapped around her and when she sees me, she wraps it around me as well so that we're sharing. She starts feeling me up under the blanket, but I'm not grossed out, I'm just uncomfortable because I keep thinking she's only doing it to get attention from our classmates. I look down at the opera stage and it's not an opera stage but the pond, night-time. I can barely see the pond with all the trees in the way, but there is a spotlight pointed at it. Eventually the friend next to me turns into this guy and we are staring at the pond, curious. Then the opera house disappears and it is just me and this guy and we see a boat come into the view of the spotlight. There is a man in all black and he starts taunting us up above (we are on this cliff now instead of a balcony). He points at us and laughs. Then he grabs another guy in the boat (apparently the guy next to me is his brother) and he grabs these sharp scissors and pokes a hole in his cheek near his mouth and then puts a huge fish hook in the hole. The guy next to me and I are completely terrified, but we keep watching. Then the dark figure throws this guy over the side of the boat. The brother looks over at me and tells me we have to save him. I wake up while we start walking around the pond again.

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.

Chicken Pox.

Dreamt I was camping. My mom is there along with the musician Tegan Quin. We all hear sirens off in the distance and think my dad got into a car accident or something. Mom thinks Dad started drinking again. Then a cop comes to the camper (we're inside the camper this whole time) and tells us that it's my brother Joran that got into the accident. We all start crying and I grab my phone out to call my sister, Sarah. I keep having to re-type in the numbers because I can't seem to get the whole number right. I keep hitting the wrong button towards the end. Finally it starts ringing and instead of getting my sister I get my brother's voicemail. After I tell everyone what the phone did (I know I called my sister's phone, but it magically called Joran's instead) Tegan says, "The technology of today is amazing for knowing to call Joran instead of Sarah.".....

Slight distraction. Everyone disappears and I have this red wig on. I look like Daphne from Scooby Doo. I'm still in the camper, and I look in a mirror and notice these red dots and circles all over my face. Soon enough, there are nurses at my side (dressed in starched white, almost what you'd wear for Tae Kwon Do classes except for the belts) and they grab me by the wrists and tell me I have chicken pox. I get wheeled through this strange astral plane that is blended from the campground and a hospital hallway. I'm weary, tired, so I tell them I need to see Tegan. I hear in this overhead speaker through the hospital hallway a nurse calling her name. Tegan is a doctor in my dream, I guess. This part is strange, because I'm still in this hospital bed the nurses are pushing, and yet I can see Tegan working on some patient in surgery far off in this other astral plane. I'm in this bright, white realm; She's in this orange-lit room. Also, at this point I was passing a lake (and yet still in the hospital) and she was on this island (and yet working on the patient). Finally I get to a room and they give me a gown to put on.

..... I'm back at the campground, outside, and this time my mom and dad are only there. We also have our dog Skippy that I had when I was little (deceased now), and my sister's dog (Romeo) and my dog (Bear) with us. I watch as these little people get into a boat from the dock and drive off. I tell my dad about what happened to Joran, and he says, "Nooo.. Jo Jordan is sick!" I look confused for a second because my dad looks sure of himself. Then I tell him that I heard the cop say the name Joran, not Jo Jordan. My dad finally gets worried and we decide to pack up and drive to where Joran is so we can visit him. We get everything in a van and are about to leave when the dogs run off. I try to run after them, but I can't see them anywhere. I know they are trying to follow where the little people went, though, so I look in the lake and see them swimming in that direction. Mom, Dad and I all try to catch them because I'm worried Bear will get hit by a car.





** Chicken Pox: I know I dreamt about this because of one of the latest Tegan & Sara blogs that Sara wrote.

8/8/10 - The Stairs Were Bright Teal.

Dreamt I'm trying to drive this small boat. I'm in this river and there is another small boat with men riding around near me. I don't know how to control the boat or steer for some reason, and I tell them this, and they laugh at me and then yell at me that I'm stupid and I should know how to operate a boat. I have my dog in the boat with me. A storm comes in fast and it gets windy, and eventually the wind uproots a tree.. This is where my mind confuses my sanity. Instead of the tree falling into the river and hitting the boat, the boat is magically in the tree, and when the tree falls down, it digs the boat into the ground. I fall about thirty feet from the tree, but my dog is still in the boat under the tree. I start bawling and I rush over, trying to pull branches out of the way to save my dog. He hobbles out (he's a papillon/chihuahua mix, so he's a little guy) and I pick him up, now crying of joy. I notice his elbows are jutting out in a scary position, as if he has an extra bone connected to the humerus bone or something. Needless to say, it grossed me out, though I held onto my dog tightly after that. These guys (one of them looks an awful lot like Christian Bale) and I walk away from the side of the river and try to find a place to get out of the impending storm. We find this white house, the paint chipping off, and walk up the porch. We get to a screen door and knock, and a couple comes to the door. The guy looks like Jon Favreau of Couples Retreat (and he was a dick in my dream, too) and his wife looked like Minnie Driver. We asked them if we could come in from the rain, and I explained about my dog. Minnie Driver opened the door all the way and let us in in a welcoming manner, while her husband folded his arms and looked suspicious at us. When we walk in, I immediately notice that there are a LOT of bright teal steps going up, the walls were pure, bright white. I walked in first and the men followed behind me. When we get up the stairs, it seems were in the basement. The basement has wood flooring and the walls are dark brick. There are pipes hanging on the ceiling, posts helping to hold the house up. I didn't seem to notice the strangeness in going upstairs to the basement at that time, it seemed normal to me. This Jon Favreau guy was a bit calmer and he pointed out rooms as we passed. We were walking down a straight path, and eventually reached the end, where he turned to the left to show us a kitchen. This was a huge house, and I seemed to think that the basement was a full house itself, and that they had their own house upstairs, even though we came from downstairs. The husband opens the fridge to show us there was food in there and a cat jumps out. We notice there is a tray of sliced cucumbers on the top shelf. I set Moses (my dog) down on the floor as the husband leaves the room so that we can get comfortable in the new place. He seems to be telling us that we can stay there however long we would like to. Christian Bale and the other two guys seem reluctant to stay. I set my bag down on a chair at the table and tell them that I want to stay. I tell them that I don't want to run around trying to find our world/home anymore. (I don't understand this part really, maybe I was dreaming we were "Sliders", which is a TV show I was really into a year ago where this group is going through parallel Earths and trying to find the one they originated from). I tell the guys that we could get jobs, buy homes, live here. I say this while looking at the Christian Bale character. I'm looking at him, because I like him. I want to grow old with him.
