The End Of The World.

What I ate/drank the night before: DiGiorno's Pepperoni Pizza and Constant Comment Decaf Tea. Plus a handful of Quakes Rice Snacks in Ranch flavor and a glass of water.

Dreamt I was making out with a black woman. She was a vampire, too. Then the vampire disappears and I am walking down a street with my grandma Milly. We spot my aunt Donna and uncle Larry walking into a dance hall, so we follow. I look around and see that everyone is eating at a billion different tables. There isn't much room, so I walk over to a table with a few empty seats and I sit down. A few seconds later someone tells me that the seats are taken, so I and this little girl that followed me to the table walk around the dance hall to find a different place to eat. We get to the very back of the room and I sit down at this table that this fatter boy and Rhianna is sitting at. The boy asks me a question and I can't quite understand him, so I answer honestly and he laughs rudely (along with Rhianna) and tells me he was being sarcastic. I look over at the little girl (she's about three or four) and roll my eyes. We're stuck sitting with a bunch of assholes. I find out from Rhianna that the dance takes place to find your soulmate. She points to a mirror on the floor and tells me that she sees my soulmate in the reflection and that she'll email the soulmate so that we can find each other. I look at my phone and see an email coming in and it shows a picture of Rhianna and below it (this is supposed to be me for some reason) is a picture of Betty White. (I might have to explain this.. My friend and I are constantly calling ourselves Rose and Blanche off Golden Girls, because we're goofy and we act like them a lot (me being a bit of an idiot and she being a bit of a slut, ha, so I guess my subconscious picked up on that..)). Rhianna and the fat boy end up leaving and I spot an old friend, Kayla, walking over to me so I stop to talk to her for a bit. She tells me that her dad is trying to start a business but that he's placing it in the wrong area. (Apparently he's starting this resort/bistro/cell phone fixing company inside of a hospital). I tell her that I remember seeing him walking around town with blueprints the other day. Then Kayla leaves and I look up at the sky (the ceiling is opened in parts to bring in a breeze). I smile at how pretty the sun looks. It's making the sky a bright blue color. There are dark clouds that the sun is beating through, and it casts an eerie yet gorgeous glow. Suddenly the clouds get thicker, though, gathering into darker and darker colors. Almost black. I hear a loud booming sound --not a crackling like thunder, more like a huge explosion-- Everyone starts screaming. The clouds have a faint red glow like fire making its way through. The song "Who's Gonna Drive You Home?" by The Cars comes on in the dancehall and I get a text message from an old black lady that only says "last song". I cry, thinking the sun exploded and that the world will end. That I won't know who my soulmate is. That I won't be able to breathe or think ever again. I won't be remembered. The little girl that was with me is crouched down by the wall behind me, so I grab her and put my arms around her and have her situated so that she is slightly under the table for shelter. I know we're going to die in a few seconds but I want her to feel safe anyways. I look back up at the sky and the clouds have turned a bright red. I look back down at the little girl and hold her tighter. I feel piercing hot liquid hit my back that feels like drops of lava. I start thinking that we're about to burn up, but then a really cold breeze hits my back and I can feel frost sticking to me. I don't know what's happening, but its very painful. I start shaking myself awake because I can't take the pain anymore. Within a few seconds I wake up to myself swaying my hips from side to side.

Wow, I had to look up the lyrics to this song. It's crazy how this song could actually make sense in this dream..

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."

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.

10/1/10 - Nostalgia.

People were eating plants and gaining super powers. These people were bad, though. They moved vines of ivy and things to kill people by strangulation.

Then I dreamt I was at this concert. Andrew WK, My Morning Jacket and Bonnie Raitt were (strangely) playing together on this circular stage. I was with my mom, and we were both dancing near My Morning Jacket.


Then I was at a birthday party for Pry (from the heartagram boards), everyone from the board was there. I tried to take a picture of her, but the camera was fuzzy and I couldn't see her, so she took a picture of me and it turned out looking like my lips were bright red.

Then I was in a garage. There were a bunch of old childhood clothes of mine and old toys scattered about the floor. I was trying to find my toy I cherished most in my childhood, but could not find him. Instead, I found this weird baby toy where he was nestled in this weird clam shell that would open and close. When you open it, music would play. Then I walk to the bedroom and see all kinds of teenage-style clothes from the past and try a bunch on. My sister walks in and yells at me that I'm wearing something of hers and stalks off in a pissy mood.

8/17/10 - KFC Officially Sucks Ass.

I had two dreams on the 17th. Two very long dreams. This is what I get for writing down a dream, rolling over, and going back to sleep, having to write down yet another. I'm splitting them up into two sections. Here's the first one:

Dreamt I was either playing mario kart, or riding around in a kart.

Now I'm outside, at Jelly Stone (which is in Warrens, WI). I'm walking down this sidewalk, at night, though there are outside lamps for seeing, and I notice this guy I used to hang out with coming towards me. He asks me if I'm hungry and if I want KFC. I tell him I'm starving and I'd love some. Then Devin and my sister and a few of her friends show up on the sidewalk and ask what I'm doing. I tell them that I want KFC, and ask if they're hungry, too. They say no, but eventually Devin's jealousy gets the best of him and he decides he wants some as well. Some little asian kid comes over and by now we have a bunch of teens surrounding us, handing this asian some money to count. Afterwards, Devin goes with this old friend of mine to pick up the food (Sarah and her friends decide to go for a walk instead). I'm outside Devin's parents' house and it's night-time still. I'm watching all kinds of people walking up to their house and entering, as if his parent's are having a party or something. His parents assume we're eating at the party, so I don't say anything about the KFC. Soon enough, though, Devin shows up with his whole graduated class and they all bring the food. His dad is pissed at him for bringing food and not eating at their party, but eventually leaves to go back to his home. We eat the KFC on a bunch of these desks that are outside of Devin's parents' house. For some reason, I don't want to eat near anyone, so I choose to eat near these nerdy-looking kids. I choose to sit next to this pint-sized asian boy. He's aggravated that I sit next to him, but everytime he moves a seat away, I strangely move in the seat next to him. After I finish eating and disturbing the asian kid, I look around for Devin and he's sitting, propped up against a cement half-wall, getting awfully close with an old elementary school friend of mine. Their heads are tilted less than an inch apart. I stand up, yell at him from across the room, and he backs away from the girl. I march over, trying to act calm, like I hadn't noticed anything. I do this so that she doesn't run away. When I get up to her, she stands up. I POUNCE. I go to punch her, but I wake up. While waking, I see these little red bumps before opening my eyes. I try rubbing my eyes, but it makes it worse. I now start seeing my own eyes, clear as day, with my eyelids closed. When I open them, the vision is gone.

Food

• Generally speaking, food in dream usually refers to food for thoughts, ideas, new beliefs, etc. They are ideas you take in and digest mentally.

Infidelity

• To dream of infidelity (either by you or someone else), represents issues of abandonment and neglect in a relationship. Or you are feeling emotionally confined and need an outlet for your feelings. Alternatively, a dream of infidelity indicates that you are feeling unsatisfied with your current relationship. You are harboring guilt over a sexual relationship or you are looking for a more erotic sex life.

8/15/10 - Footer Became A Cannibal.

Dreamt I'm looking at a list. Either a grocery list or maybe it's a budget.


Then I'm on my way to LaCrosse with Devin to get to Pridefest, and I'm trying to call Dana to see if she's coming or not. Halfway there, we realize we forgot to bring Sarah with us, so we turn around.


Then I'm in my porch and I am playing the new Arcade Fire CD in a stereo. I seem to be taping something together, because I have tape stuck on the edge of something but I don't remember what I was taping, maybe a present. Then Devin's sister comes in and she complains that she's heard the same song on repeat too much. Although I blush, knowing I'm playing the CD, I hear the same song playing from across the street. I open the door, walk out, look across the street to see which house is playing Arcade Fire, but I cannot hear any music. It's all coming from inside the house.

Then I'm in Sportsman's Bar. I am drinking something at the bar and I walk away and sit at this picnic table. Sarah sits down next to me and tells me the grossest thing I have ever dreamt about in my entire life. First, she seems to think I remember that a woman was shot on my aunt's property. I nod my head, saying "Yeah? What about it?" And she then tells me that her friend, Footer, decided to take this woman's body home to chop her up and eat her. Like, make her into meat. Yeah. I look over at my aunt and she's sitting on another picnic table and she looks disgusted. Sarah tells me Erin is grossed out by all of it. I don't blame her. I was, too. Sarah tells me the name of the woman and the last name is so unique that I immediately knew it was an old classmate's sister. Anyways, Sarah walks over to use the bathroom and I'm all by myself. I don't tell anyone what I just heard, but I walk up to the bar to get another drink and I notice the bartenders (there's about five of them behind the bar, but they are in this room that looks just like my old childhood room, including the door with the stickers on it) look suspicious and they think I told someone else. They all grab me and take me into the room. When I get in the room, I'm in this big living room with these windows that (are closed) open up to bright sunshine, contrasting the dark room I'm locked in. When the bartenders leave, I see my dog and two dark grey kittens walking around. I walk to the windows and I notice they swing open like a screen door. I grab the kittens and set them carefully out. Then I grab my dog and set him out carefully. I crawl out the window behind my dog. When I'm outside, I notice I am outside my aunt and uncle's home in Warrens, WI. I tell my dog to run. He WALKS down the road. I keep yelling for him to hurry and of course at this point he decides to go to the bathroom. At this point, I run up ahead to see if the bartenders have caught on to our escape, and to hide behind trees. Finally he finishes pooping and walks over to me. I pick him up and we start running.



Disgust

• To feel disgust in your dream, represents an unacknowledged or denied aspect of your own self. You fear confrontation. You may also lack the means to defend and/or protect yourself.
  

Escape

• To dream that you escape from jail or some place of confinement, signifies your need to escape from a restrictive situation or attitude. Alternatively, it suggests that you are refusing to face your problems. You are avoiding the situation, instead of confronting them.

7/23/10 - Toot Toot!

Sorry for the past-tense, present-tense switches I do. I wrote this at points word-for-word out of my journal, which is in present tense. Though I also edited the story to make sense out of some of the things I wrote that were nonsense, so that was in past-tense.


Dreamt:

I'm in a hallway.. I'm with a group of people.. My stomach makes a growling noise, and someone mistakes it for gas, ha ha ha. Sooo funny. Not. Anyways, they ask if I was the one that did it, and for some reason I say "Toot toot!" and pull an invisible cord acting as a train whistle. I must be just as much of a weirdo in my dreams as I am in person. That's all I can think of. I leave the hallway, as if I was in an airport or something, waiting to get on a plane. I finally get in the plane, but it's tiny. It's got one seat the size of a back seat in a car, and there is one other person with me on the plane. She's an old childhood friend of mine. She puts her seat belt on, but for some reason I don't have time to get mine on and we're starting off. We're flying above Vancouver, it's barely morning, dark still.. Lit up buildings.. The plane starts to flip around, and I start to fall out of the chair, etc, so I grab my seat belt and hold on while we go upside down for a second. I'm dangling from the seat belt, holding on for dear life. When we get back to the normal position, I quickly fasten my seat belt before we flipped again and again. Then I wake up, but I'm still dreaming. I'm in a city, in the back of a truck, I'm Derek (Brian Austin Green), from Sarah Connor Chronicles. Then I turn into myself at some point and I'm looking for clothes to wear, because apparently my sister and I are back in high school or something...

Dream takes a different turn, don't remember how.

In car. Devin & me talking about stuff. Driving down a road in woods. We got out of the car and started walking towards a town. All the buildings were rotted and looked as if they were bulldozed or something. It was just cement foundation and styrofoam acting as walls. A bunch of homely-looking cats were eating the styrofoam. Styrofoam is stained red, like blood. House is not there, though. Just an inch of the walls left, eaten away. There is a decrepit, shaved cat eating at the bloody styrofoam. I want to turn around and go another way, because the cat scares me. It looks diseased and I feel bad for it. We go back to our car, which is parked back in the woods.. As we get near the car, two men are trying to steal the car. I get towards passenger's side and try to push the guy in the driver's seat out. I wake up, but I'm still dreaming. In my dream, I start to write down what I dreamt, but I grab a book instead. It's the book Girl Interrupted. Magically, the blonde with the anorexia problem in the film appears with another girl next to her. I notice the blonde is wearing a really tight, bright teal shirt. Let's just say the room must have been cold.



Ironically, I have a really strange interpretation for the cat scene... You just don't want to hear it, trust me.



Helicopter

• To dream that you are in a helicopter, indicates that you are living beyond your means. You need to slow down and not try to please everyone. Alternatively, you may be experiencing a higher level of consciousness, new-found freedom and greater awareness.

• Upside Down

• To dream that you are upside down, suggests that there is some situation or problem in your waking life that you need to straighten you. It may also mean that your initial assumptions were completely opposite of what you thought.

Wall

• To dream that a house has no walls, represents a lack of privacy. You feel that everyone is looking over your shoulder or up in your business.

• Blood

• To see blood in your dream, represents life, love, and passion as well as disappointments.

Cat

• If you are afraid of the cat in your dream, then it suggests that you are fearful of the feminine.
