End-Of-The-World Windy

My sister and I are at my dad's house. We are either outside or looking out, and it is incredibly windy. We're talking end-of-the-world windy. I somehow manage to get myself in and shut the door. My sister is inside. It's dark in the house and we are using flashlights. We look around everywhere (my dad's house is apparently humongous, because we are searching many, many non-existent rooms) for our families. I find my daughter's backpack and pack some essential items. I also find one of our cats and I hold onto him while we keep looking around for anyone. We get to what looks like an unfinished basement. The ground is still dirt, the walls concrete/brick. We find a family sleeping on different beds spread about the room. We wake them up and tell them what is going on. They start gathering things. We look outside of this door that walks up from the basement - it's very dark outside (it was dark in the beginning), and at first it looks calm again, but when I start to head up the stairs, I can feel the wind is still too strong to survive walking around out there. We wait it out a bit. I looked around the basement some more and find this door that opens out to this hill with a short (3 ft?) wall next to it. I start noticing water creeping over to us from over the wall/down the hill to us. (This is a really small hill -- the wall is maybe ten feet away from the door. I notice the wind has stopped, and I yell to everyone that water is coming. In my head I know that this is probably a tidal wave of some sort that is headed towards us. I run out and my sister follows. Water is starting to come into the house and is very tall. The parents of the family come out next and RIGHT before I wake up, I wonder why the hell the parents didn't have their children go first or with them. I didn't see the kids come out.


*Maybe this dream is a piece of my previous dream about the moon falling to Earth? lol

The Zombie That Wouldn't Die

I can't understand my handwriting half the time, but I wrote a couples of sentences and the only phrases I understand is that I saw money and that I was going somewhere with my sister and told her I would pay for her to come with - wherever this may be.  I am at our dad's house, maybe waiting for her to get ready, and am looking out the screen door. I see the moon and suddenly it is getting closer and closer. I yell to my boyfriend Devin and BOOM, it hits Earth, but not in a catastrophic way. It is like this humongous ball of broken moon just a few miles away from me. Devin comes in and I tell him what happened and he says, "Didn't you hear?", like it had happened awhile ago. I walk outside (and now it looks nothing like my dad's property -- more like alleyways and sandy/concrete/shelters/brick walls on both sides of windy paths to the shelters). It's sunny in areas and dark in other areas. My sister is following me, and we are winding along through this area. I see a group of people eating at a picnic table. I look around and also see what kind of looks like the black hooded version of the Nameless Ghouls from the band Ghost sitting on this bench - except there are no masks, it's this empty/blank/invisible space. I point over at them to my sister because I'm not gonna lie, the invisible aspect of it was frightening. My sister tells me to quit pointing because I might get their attention and they could hurt me or something. Then this zombie-like person comes at me from behind and tries to suffocate me with his own shirt. I pull his shirt off of me and turn around to suffocate him with his own shirt and he just won't die. (durr..) Then the man-zombie turns into a lady-zombie and she tells me I need to die. I tell her that's not happening. She tries to kill me, so I try to embarrass her instead.

Everyone's Listening

I am at my sister's house and apparently she has a second story deck, because I am sitting on a chair there with this dude. I like him. We're talking about something - don't remember what. My sister wants to take our picture together.

Somehow we end up in a town that is kind of cartoon-ish. We're walking around, and I point up at the sky. It looks like there are cop cars off in the distance.... in the sky. The guy says something that is meant to explain what's happening, but I'm still really confused. We start to head for shelter, towards a school.

 I'm in the school looking for a radio station area. I see the dude I like, and he stops me and hands me these cups and tells me he has to go back home and grab something he forgot. I take the cups and head into the radio area. Lost, looking for something. (Something bad is going on, I just don't know what, and I am panicking.) A woman comes up to me with a microphone, about to hand it to me, and says "We're just going to start. Everyone's listening." (I'm assuming this guy I liked was supposed to be the speaker or something, I don't know.) I back away from the lady with my hands up, nervous, and tell her I don't know what's happening. I walk off into a darker area of the room, waking up.

The Axman

Dreamt this morning that I was in a house that was apparently mine (but not in real life). It badly needed cleaning. I was sitting at a table in the kitchen and there was an empty container of ice cream sitting out. Suddenly it started jolting around like a mouse was in it or something. I peered in but didn't see anything and my first thought was maybe it was a ghost or something, but then my brain told me there are no such thing as ghosts, so it couldn't possibly be that. Then the container flew up into the air a short distance and I saw that a fly was carrying it. He must not have been strong enough, because it fell after a few feet. I left the kitchen and walked into this hallway that felt like my aunt's old house. I walked out into their living room (but remember: in the dream, this is my house). Devin and his dad were working on stuff like the floors or something. Some kind of construction work. This part is fuzzy, but it seems like I was in a bedroom at one point and had to leave the house and tried to avoid his dad for some reason.

Before all of this, I dreamt that I was in this really narrow concrete tunnel (at times it was just wire like a cage) and we were being chased by this man with a chainsaw or ax or something. He was outside of the tunnel waiting for us on either side to get out, sometimes reaching out at us when we got to the wired parts of the tunnel. At some point we stupidly (or maybe not -- spoiler alert) separated and I was by myself. I remember finding a small door like for a rabbit or bird cage and pushed it open and started running for dear life.... ....towards the killer. I don't know why. I thought maybe I could knock him out, I guess. Once he got a couple feet away from me I got this, "Oh, shiiit." feeling and realized this man was a lot bigger than I thought. Think 'The Rock' or Vin Diesel or something. Humongous. I went for it anyways and tried to push him over but he knocked me down instead. We were outside in a wooded area, autumn season, dead leaves, etc. When he pushed me down I had this vision of the group I was with in the tunnels with their heads cut off... and for some reason their insides looked robotic.

* The dude that had the chainsaw or ax looked just like the axman from "American Horror Story: Coven". I am pretty sure I dreamt of him because I am currently reading a book about unsolved murders and the first story is about the real man that axed a bunch of people in New Orleans back in the day.


(I miss writing down the supposed interpretations.. I've been stealing the boyfriend's laptop lately, so I may as well do this again):


Ice Cream

  • To see or eat ice cream in your dream denotes good luck, pleasure, success in love and satisfaction with your life. You need to savor the moment and enjoy it.  Alternatively, the dream may suggest that you need to cool off and not let your temper get out of hand. On the other hand, the ice cream may be a pun on "I scream". Perhaps there is something that you need to let out.

Fly
  • To see flies in your dream symbolize filth and dirtiness, either physical or emotional. It indicatesfeelings of guilt or a breakdown of a plan. Flies may also forewarn of a contagious sickness.Alternatively, the fly could represent an irritating and annoying person in your life. Perhaps someone does not know how to mind their business.
Ax
  • To see an ax in your dream indicates that you are overly controlling. It is symbolic of destruction, hostility, and the frustrations that you are experiencing. Perhaps you "have an ax to grind" with someone. Or the dream can be a metaphor that you are ready to "bury the ax" and make amends.
Tunnel
  • To see a tunnel in your dream represents the vagina, womb, and birth. Thus it may refer to a need for security and nurturance. 
    To dream that you are going through a tunnel suggests that you are exploring aspects of your subconscious. You are opening yourself to a brand new awareness. Alternatively, it indicates your limited perspective as in the phrase "tunnel vision". Are you being close minded or narrow minded in some issue?
Behead
  • To dream that you or someone else is being beheaded signifies poor judgment or a bad decision that you have made and regretted. You are not thinking clearly and are refusing to see the truth. You need to confront the situation or the person despite the pain and discomfort you might feel in doing so.  The dream also suggests that you have the tendency to act before you think.

An old dream from last year..

Found a draft from last summer that I remember typing on my phone while camping one morning.

Dreamt me and Devin and Scarlet and a big group of people were being chased. We had another baby, named Ruby. We packed essentials. Scarlet had a small toy, she was a little older. Ruby had a bigger stuffed animal. We were found on an island I think. Dream all jumbled. We walked up to a couple houses that were in a wooded area of the island. We asked for help, but the guy there just told us to come in. I was a little hesitant but we needed shelter and food. All of us, probably 15-20 people, came in. His house was a mansion on the inside. He led us upstairs and we found rooms. At some point I remember running. I think we found out that the man was bad. I was looking for our essential things we packed. I found them inside a bench that also worked as a storage area. I grabbed as much as possible and ran with my family. At some point the bag of essentials wasn't in my hands and there were two bags on the side of a street. (The bad man's hallway turned into an alleyway of some sort).

Okay, I wrote this last summer and completely forgot what else happened right after that, but I DO remember bad guys chasing us from the alley and soon enough the alley turning into a river/waterfall. I remember holding onto one of the girls and Devin holding onto the other. I vaguely remember the toy Scarlet had being significant in the dream. Like it had gone missing and then found (or maybe when we jumped off the waterfall, the toy fell out of her hands and was gone forever. I don't know.) I swam with Scarlet (or Ruby, whichever daughter I was holding) to an island and waited/started my search for Devin, the other daughter, and the rest of the gang.

Don't Fear The Reaper.

Dreamt I was on my parents' property just near the outskirts, close to the neighbor's cranberry marsh. My sister and I were being chased by this angry bear and we were running towards this truck. I see an asian woman on the other side of the truck and I yell to her about the bear. I see that her truck is smashed in through the windshield, so my sister and I crawl in that way and the asian woman follows. She takes her time getting around the car and as I try to pull her in through the windshield and the bear is getting closer, I appear next to my parents' house, so I don't know what happened to her. There was a guy that was standing near me and and he told me that Death has been watching me and following me. I kind of freaked out and ran into the house, thinking I was going to die or something. Then I freaked out even more when this other guy flew into the house. He had these black wings with purple smoke emitting off the wings and he was wearing all black.. I was terrified. I thought he was going to kill me and I asked him if I was going to die. He said, "Not if you'll let me help you." Then he pointed to my stomach and told me that a while ago I had a baby but lost it and that he needed to get rid of it because it was still inside of me and killing me. He took out this sack of seashells and put them in his hand. He told me to take it and it'll help with the pain. I asked him if I had to take one or the whole handful, and he laughed and told me to just take one. So I ate it and he laid me down on the floor and cut me open and pulled out my stomach and produced these tiny things that looked like Jelly Bellies. When I saw the jelly bellies I knew there was always something wrong with my digestion, and seeing this confirmed it. Then my sister Sarah came in and I told her what was going on and I showed her the incision, though I wasn't looking, and she freaked out and told me I was losing a lot of blood. Then all I see is her in the room, narrating the whole thing and showing pictures of our childhood and how much of a good sister I was to her. As if I died.

Desert Zombies.

Dreamt I was at this farm that was located in a desert. There were zombies coming after me and a group of people. We all hid behind things.. trying to keep the zombies from seeing us. I have my dog Moses with me (I'm carrying him) and I walk into this room and then hide in this small cubby hole with a door, but the door is only half of a door, so any zombie would be able to spot me. I watch as a zombie follows me in and walks around. He notices me but he just stops and doesn't do anything. Then a person from the group I was with walks in and kind of shimmies himself around the room, trailing around the walls until he gets to where I am hiding. The zombie sees us both, but I look behind me and see that the cubby hole is like a slide, so I slide down and enter this big room where the rest of the group is hiding. The guy that followed me down told the rest that a zombie spotted us, so we start walking towards this room that is locked. A safe haven. I unintentionally wake up before we open the door.

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..

The Hairy Letter.

This is a weird dream. I dreamt that I received a letter from my dad that was coded .. with hair. In this waking life, I now realize how dumb this might sound, but I'll go on.. My dad (in real life) is dating some woman and he used to be an alcoholic before he met her. In my dream, she broke up with him and he wrote me this letter telling me that she doesn't love him anymore.. But instead of written out words, there were typed up questions, and the answers were little hairs taped into the shape of "yes" or "no"s. My dad has a beard and I can only think that this must be beard hairs (Godddd, I hope so, hahaha). Anyways, at some point he comes to the house I was in at the time (the house wasn't anywhere I've ever been before), and he's crying. I wake my sister up (she's sleeping on the floor) and show her the letter. She tells me that "We can't tell Dad what happened.." (Which doesn't make sense. My father wrote the letter, but we can't show him it?) because she's worried he'll start drinking again. Then all three of us hear above us the sound of his girlfriend moving around in the house. It was almost like we were in a secret annex or something, that we were worried she'd find out how to get to us. She seemed evil in my dream, even though I didn't see her. It just felt that way.

9/11/10 - Two Types.

I dreamt the world was being overtaken by aliens. Humans were classed into two types. One was "Security Guard" (which in reality would be like recruits for an army) and the other wasn't really termed in my dream, but they were just the average bystanders that couldn't do anything to save their life. I was the last type. So in my dream, I'm hiding with a group of people in this office, and we're all looking out the window. The "Security Guards" in the office get called out to war, so Devin leaves, along with his sister. I wait with the rest of the scared bunch and watch as lightning bolts hit telephone poles and a trailer park that was in our view. Finally the Security Guards come back around by one of the windows, one of them even had their badge over their eye as a gag. One of the guys that was cocky in the group of Bystanders jumped up and decided to leave the office and help fight, so I followed him to the door to shut the door and lock it back up because at this point I was thinking the Security Guards were bad guys now. When I tried to lock the door, I realized I had gloves on. For some reason the gloves were making it hard for me to lock the door. Then a man in a ski mask comes running at me from outside with pruning shears. He starts opening and shutting them, getting closer and closer to my throat. I woke up before he got to me.


Aliens
  • To see aliens in your dream, signify that you are having difficulties adapting and adjusting to your new surroundings. You are feeling "alienated" and disconnected. You may also be having difficulties with how to handle or deal with a certain situation or person. On a psychological level, seeing aliens represent an encounter with an unfamiliar or neglected aspect of your own self.


Shelter
  • To see or dream that you are at a shelter, represents the difficulties and sense of helplessness that you are experiencing. You are looking for some sort of security and stability.


Lightning
  • To see lightning in your dream, signifies sudden awareness, insight, spiritual revelation, truth and purification.

7/28/10 - Tornado!

I'm on my childhood property, at the pond. ((This is weird, because today I went down to the pond to drive my dad there so he could mow it and see it again)). In the dream, I'm with a bunch of people. A lot of my dad's family is there, and other people, some I don't know.. I'm fighting with most of them, not getting along.. Well, they're fighting with me, they don't approve of me or something. For some reason there is a TV attached to a tree and we look at it and see that a big storm is coming our way. What's interesting is that I remember the storm was coming to at a southeasterly angle, and usually they go northeast. Right over our area was a bright red cloud on the TV, so we all started running for the house. I was also looking at a map of the area with my sister, and in real life I actually was looking at a map of Wisconsin the night before, so I must have dreamt that part because of her. There were probably fifty people at the pond, so we were all trying to run through the woods to get to shelter. We knew a tornado was coming. When we get to the porch, there is a table with food and I don't know why, but I remember making a plate for my dad so that he'd have something to eat while waiting in the basement. Dad and some woman (that looked like Amy Sedaris when she played in Strangers With Candy) were the only ones there, and this Amy look-a-like was sitting on a bench eating as well.. I sit next to "Amy" and tell her she can come down to my basement. I also tell Dad that he, Mom, Sarah, Joran and his family can all go down to the basement as well. I meant at my house, which is a half-hour away from where we were, but at the time I didn't seem to realize the distance it would take to get there. Dad tells me he doesn't want to run anymore, that the tornado will be here soon. I tell him we don't have to run, and I walk to this door that is against one of the porch walls and I open the door. I show him that it is a secret passageway to my basement. (It seems like a transporting system, because it opens up right at the bottom of the stairs, right where you'd step to get to the floor from the stairs). He heads down and I wait for the rest of my family to show up so that I can tell them where the shelter is.



xx I woke up, wrote that, then fell back asleep... xx


I dreamt that the radio was on beside my bed (it really was, outside of my dream..) The song Don't Let Me Go by The Fray was on the radio, and in my dream I abhorred the song, so I tried to change the station, but it was on every station.


xx I woke up again, and tried to fall asleep, but as I was doing so, I was still quite awake but in a state of dreaming. I pictured very clearly myself sitting down against a white wall and yelling that everything was way too real, that I wasn't dreaming. That completely woke me up, so I wrote that down. Finally I fell asleep. xx


I dreamt again about the tornado coming. I was at my Aunt's, and we were getting a car my mom used to drive and we drove it to where I used to live growing up. (My aunt and parents lived next door to each other). People got into the car (Mom, Dad and maybe Sarah and Joran), and I saw about fifteen kittens crawling around by my feet and I could NOT leave them for the tornado to kill, so I tried to collect them and get them in the car. There were also three adult cats and one dog I had to save, but all the animals kept piling out every time I would put one in. All the while, my family waited surprisingly patient in the car for me to get them all in. I ended up waking up before I got them all in.





Fighting
  • To dream that you are in a fight, indicates inner turmoil. Some aspect of yourself is in conflict with another aspect of yourself. Perhaps an unresolved or unacknowledged part is fighting for its right to be heard. It may also parallel a fight or struggle that you are going through in your waking life.


Storm
  • To dream that you take cover in a storm, foretells that whatever disturbance or problems is occurring in your life will quickly blow over. Consider also the phrase "weather the storm", which refers to your ability and strength to withstand whatever comes.


Potato Chips
  • To see or eat potato chips in your dream, symbolizes your overindulgent behavior. Perhaps you need to exercise more self control.


Basement
  • The appearance of the basement is an indication of your unconscious state of mind and level of satisfaction. It represents primal urges, animalistic desires and basic needs.
