a fantasy dream.

i had a dream last night that we lived in a fantasy world with princesses and monsters.

and that me and bug worked at walmart, putting away freight, but we were actually on a secret mission to find a princess.

even though bug worked with me at walmart, i was trying to convince people she was much older than eight.  and since it was a fantasy world, they believed she was some other species but that she was my age.

bug's job in our mission was to carry my cat around.  when she was working she would put him in one of the freight boxes, but when we had to travel i had to carry him because he would be scared.

in this world, cats looked the same as regular cats, but they hunted tiny monsters and they didn't meow the same.  i knew the doctor couldn't kill tiny monsters, and that if he saw one he would be scared and start meowing in a way that cats don't meow here.  so i was trying to keep him quiet.

he got away from me and ran under a house and their were tiny monsters there, so he started meowing.  i ran under the house to get him, but the people who lived there had already heard him.

i woke up trying to convince these people that my cat just had a cold.

dreams.

had a dream the other night that my house was infested with crabs.

and the crabs would latch on to you if you got to close.  but they were all over the place, they covered the whole floor.

the internet told me if you sprayed them with vinegar, they would die.  so i sprayed them and they would just disappear with a POOF.

mom was in the kitchen trying to spray them with windex because it was cheaper.

and i told her 'no!  that will only knock them out!  only vinegar will kill them!'

then i woke up.

what the fuck, brain?  what did i ever do to you?

another weird dream blog.

so this morning, i had a dream in which i was surrounded by all of my family, chris, and all of his family, and all of them were telling me that i was pregnant and should be going into labor at any minute.

i didn't really believe them, i certainly didn't *feel* pregnant.  i even poked my own belly and was like, 'nope, don't feel a baby.'

but they were trying to get me ready, and i went in my room and it was filled with a bunch of diapers.  work called me and wanted me to come in, and i was like 'apparantly going into labor, i'd have asked for maternity leave but i wasn't sure i was prengant.'

people are trying to take my to the hospital.  i'm calling chris trying to find him.  he finally comes outside and decides to play bumper cars with the his truck and the truck i'm sitting in, pregnant, and also with a bunch of other people.  so i throw the parking brake on so he can't bump us.  like that was going to help.  D:

finally, everybody leaves except for mom and dad.  i question my status further, since if i really was pregnant and in labor chris would not have left.  i ask my parents to take me to the hospital so i can figure this all out, and they tell me to wait until i go into full labor and they'd take me.

and i was like, 'fine, i'll walk.'  so i started walking to the hospital.  then i started jogging to the hospital, thinking if i really was pregnant all the moving would force the baby out and somebody would take me to the hospital.  and if no baby came out, i was still going to the hospital to find out why everybody was crazy.

peace.

a freaky dream blog.

slept in late again today/yesterday because of a freaky dream.

as always, here's some back story for this dream. at about ten o'clock this morning, mom comes in my room with bug and tells me she's taking mandy to work and that bug wants to go back to sleep. so of course bug just climbs up in my bed, takes most of my blanket and somehow manages to cover half my bed with her little six-year-old body. at little after eleven or so, she hears the van pull up, hops out of bed and goes to find mom.

and i go back to sleep.

and in my dream, i wake up in my room and chris is sleeping next to me. i roll over, look at him, and ask him why he was here and not at work. he tells me he called in because he just really wanted to see me. so we have a lovey-dovey moment, then chris sneezes and i notice his eye looks funny. when he sneezes it looks like it's about to pop out.

a little more back story: there was a time, not super long after we started dating when chris was complaining that his eye was twitching. we would talk about whether or not we should be concerned, and my response was usually 'it's not like it's gonna pop out or anything'.

i wasn't freaked out about it, though. probably because of that bit of back story. his eye was watering, so i gave him some tissues to hold over his eye and told him i was going to the kitchen to get him an ice pack. dream logic told me that would definitely help.

i walk out of my room and in the bathroom i see mom and mandy trying to get bug's hair done. mom sees me and immediately starts yelling at me for not letting bug sleep with me when she took mandy to work. my defense was 'yes i did, what's wrong with you?!' and 'i have to take chris to the ER.'

i head to the kitchen and she's still yelling at me. there were a bunch of people in the kitchen, in my dream i knew they were family and one of the people i did recognize as soni, but outside dream world none of these people were familiar. i grab an ziplock bag out of the pantry and open the freezer to find some ice. apparently the freezer wasn't working, because there was no ice, but lots of water. i kept trying to find anything that was frozen to make an ice pack with. i came across one of those blue gel packs, but it was squishy and totally not good for an ice pack. i also happened on a bag of some sort of frozen pasta dinner in a bag, and i tried to pull out the noodles which were still frozen, but they would thaw out as i pulled them out of the bag. chris comes out into the kitchen and tells me to look at his eye, it was really red and i told him to cover it back up. i told him that the ER wasn't far and a pretty straight shot so if he could help me watch for the other cars that i could drive him.

after that i woke up. for a minute.

after that i woke up in my dream, back in my bed. i immediately know that i'm dreaming because i turn to my right and there is a table sitting next to my bed with my cell phone on it and i know that in real life i don't have a table anymore and that my cell phone sits on the chair.

i got up, looked around and willed myself to wake up.

and i did. for a minute.

i wake up again in my dream with that table sitting next to the bed and am incredibly frustrated that i keep having this dream. i'm fully aware that this is a dream and it pissed me off because i hate dreaming about places that are too realistic. and other than that fucking table my room was exactly the way it should be.

so i willed myself to wake up again.

and i did. for a minute.

then i wake up again in that dream with the stupid table and the cell phone only this time i'm fighting for my life against a vampire that's trying to bite me. i thank my brain for at least giving me a real dream this time.

peace.

more dreams.

so i slept all late because of this dream i was having. and it was one of those dreams where you wake up in your dreams and things are similar to the way the should be but totally aren't.

first, a tiny back story. i for real woke up at about noon because chris called me on his break at work. i had every intention of getting up, but fell asleep again. D:

so in my dream, i woke up because chris had just showed up in my room. dream logic made this totally normal, like i'd been waiting for him the whole time. i'm sitting at my desk talking to him about his first day at work and i happen to look over at my bed and there's some other dude half sleeping in. dream logic kicks in again, and i'm like 'so you brought this dude with you, who is he?' and he explains he's one of the guys he works with. fair enough. the guy introduces himself, shakes my hand and then decides we're close enough that he should hug me and i am slightly terrified when he doesn't immediately let go and look to chris for help, but he is also slightly taken aback by the action. the other guy does let go finally though and the dream continues.

i follow both of them out to the laundry room where we have a fridge that has all our drinks in it. they both load up on sodas because they have to go back to work. also fair. so it was really just a normal-ish kinda weird dream up to this point.

i turn around and our dog has a tiny faux hawk. this strikes me as odd. i pick him up and show him to chris, all like 'look at his little mohawk!' only for chris to argue that it's not a mohawk or somebody would have shaved the rest of the dog. turn around and mandy is there, so i question her about it. she says that she did it and that it had been purple but it must have faded.

walk back to my room and chris is sitting at my desk with a dog on a leash that i don't recognize. and i'm like 'wtf whose dog is this?' and chris doesn't know, but it was on a leash so he assumed it belong here. we take the dog out of my room and pass soni with the kids in bug's room. she tells me that my aunt deb is on a new allergy medication, so they brought in this dog to see if it was working. also deb wanted to have a water balloon fight and an easter egg hunt with the kids to see if this medication was working.

and then i woke up.

peace.
