shootin' blanks
 
I got nothing exciting this time.
One dream had me with three other friends (though in real life I have no idea who they were) and I was angry with them because one of them had forwarded an e-mail of mine to somebody else; someone that I didn't want seeing that e-mail. It seeeds I liked this guy and had said some kinds words or something, and they had sent it to him in a secret effort to tip him off to me liking him with the innocent hope that we would hook up. Upon finding this out I was horrified that they had done this behind my back and I was livid.
Ho-hum.

I also had some dream that some guy had some wacky site where he was selling all kinds of crazy used junk. Anything from flags for things I didn't recognize, to old yucky t-shirt that no one would ever buy, to old and new magazines.
Gee, that's so unlike anything you can find on the internet. lol

Sorry it wasn't more exciting, folks.

here a fish, there a fish, everywhere a fish fish
 
I had a dream that my friend and her parents were packing up to move (perhaps influenced by the fact that in real life her parents moved to the east coast and she stayed here). Her dad had a pond in the woods out behind their house, and he had been attempting to gather up all the tiny little fish he had in it. No easy task considering how small and plentiful these minnows were. At one point I was left alone at the pond with the bag of minnows, so I tried to help out by scooping out more minnows with my hands and put them into the bag. I was careful to put in some water plants in with the minnows so that the plants would generate oxygen and help keep the minnows alive while in the bag. I also saw he had some frogs in the pond, so I attempted to catch them and set them up in a temporary home so that they could be safely moved. I put in moss and little pieces of wood, and was quite pleased with the setup I had made for them.

Then I found myself in their home, but they were nowhere to be found. There was some other guy there, whom in the dream I knew, but in real life I don't know. The front doorbell rang and I asked the guy who it was; he shrugged and said he didn't know, and answered the door. It turns out to be a delivery of rabbits. There are 3 large crates, about 6 feet long, 3 feet tall, and only deep enough to hold the rabbit. It was divided up into several compartments using chicken wire, to separate each bunny. There had to be at least 18 bunnies in each container. As the guy signed for the delivery I squealed with delight at the sight of all these bunnies, coz they were just so darn cute. They came in all different colours and were all young, maybe 2 - 3 months old.

And before I got a chance to play with them I woke up.
Drat.

Beyond The Sea
 
Holy CRAP, what is wrong with my brain??!!! I had some strange and disturbing dreams last night.....

The most noteable was the one where I took a piece of heavy gauge sandpaper and used it to sand down the stump where my hand once belonged; I had just cut it off. WHAT?!! Yeah, I had used the EDGE of the sandpaper to take the common paper cut to a new level, and actually cut my hand off, and then proceeded to sand down the area to a nice rounded off end.
I am baffled as to what the hell that was about.

And I had a dream that my old best friend and I were going somewhere and decided to get all decked out to the extreme. So we got uber vamped up, and she did crazy over-the-top makeup on us and we went out and shocked the general public with our trashy clothing (some was leather }:-) and near-whore makeup. lol. A good time was had by all.

And then I had a long dream about diving. It started off that I was diving off some boat in the Atlantic, and then eventually moved to the little lake that my grandma lives on up north. Weird.
I kept bringing up all kinds of strange items. One was a rock that someone had carved a date on. It was really dirty and needed to be cleaned up, but it looked like it said "1910". My friend and I were excited thinking that was really cool, to find something so old! As it turns out, after it was cleaned up, the date actually read "2010". We *freaked* out! A rock from the future!?!? How is that possible?? Finally we just told ourselves that someone had done it just as joke....though quietly we didn't really believe that.
As I went diving at my grandmother's lake I found an assortment of boring items. Shirts that had blown over board and sank, kids shoes, and some toys. It wasn't exciting, but all I kept talking about in the dream was how I wanted to just keep diving forever and ever, I was loving it so much.
Which is true! I went diving for the first time this year in the Red Sea, and only wish I could continue to do it more. It obviously left quite an impression on me. ;-)

Oh, and I've added a new link....be sure to stop by A Somnolet Sourcebook and say hi.

all star cast
 
I don't know WHAT is going on lately, but I got me all kinds of movie and t.v. stars showing up in my dreams (see previous dream where Joe Pantoliano made an appearance).
This time my cast included Ernie Hudson (see his credits here), Janine Turner, and Hutch (from the reality show "Joe Schmo").

In the dream we were all in a mansion. I can't tell whose mansion it was, but clearly it didn't belong to any of us. It seems we were all living together, however, and facing an in-house crisis; a flood was taking over the house. We were scrambling to pack up all the important stuff in the house, and fighting over what was and what was not worth taking, since we only had a limited amount of time. We had each taken a room in the house to go through and pack up in order to speed things along.

As I walked around, mostly snooping through all the stuff, I stopped by the room Hutch was working in. It seems he had come across Elvis' famous white and gold jumpsuit, and was trying it on, and obviously thinking to steal it. I gave him a smack up the back of the head and told him to take it off and put it away before I beat his weasely little ass.

Suddenly there was a call from another room and we went running to see what the other person wanted. The group gathered as one person (who knows where this turkey came from) pointed out to us all that although the flood levels were rising very slowly, we didn't have as much time as we thought...because look! And he pointed to the old heating vents at the base of the walls. This somehow posed great danger to us, as this guy explained that this was an old house and this was an old heating system....and when the water rises to the level of these heaters, we're all going to get electrocuted if we're standing in the water.
Eeeek! lol

Sure it's highly improbable, but aren't most dreams?

fishy fishy fish....oh where.....couldthefishybe?
 
In my dream last night my brother and I were standing in what was apparently our parents kitchen. And my mother was all excited because she was selling her house and had hired a photographer to take pictures of the home to be used in ads and selling brochures and such. Did I mention the photographer was actor Joe Pantoliano? Yeah, I couldn't make this shit up if I tried. lol
Anyway, my mom was insisting that Joe here take a really good picture of her kitchen SINK of all things, somehow believing that this damn sink would be the greatest selling point. It was your standard double sink setup, and had these backsplash tiles behind the sink that were yellow with some kind of subtle floral design (vaguely like this). She was obsessing over what angle he should take the picture from, and was barking instructions at him left and right.
Meanwhile, my brother turned to me and said "Oh look...mom has decided to keep the fish". I turned to see that my mother had taken the complete skeletons of two fish and mounted them on popsicle sticks, and then on a base to stand them up. It was creepy and ugly, and by no means a clever hobby. And not even well done, I might add.
That's all I remember about that dream.

I also had a dream about someone killing me, but *SNORE*, surely my brain can come up with better ways to scare me. Dreams where I get killed are a dime a dozen. BO-ring!
Next!

how high?
 
All I remember about last night's dream was that I was freaking out because I was way up high....in a building, or maybe hanging from a building, I have no idea. I'm not good with heights, so I probably had my eyes closed. lol

I also dreamt about Ferrero Rocher chocolates, which I hadn't recalled until I saw a commercial for them this morning.
Mmmmmmmm......

I dream of Jeannie
 
Here's a funny thing about me: I love cereal. LOVE IT. I own at least 5 boxes of it at any time, and have had as much as 10 boxes in my home at once. I could eat it morning, noon and night, and I fancy myself a cereal connoisseur.

Anyway, what this means is I often have dreams about cereal. Like I did last night. I dreamt I was walking through a store (I would guess it was Wal-Mart) shopping for a birthday present and card for my dad (it's his birthday, in real life, tomorrow). In the dream I was getting thoroughly annoyed that I couldn't find something suitable, when I came across the cereal aisle. Booyah! I was in heaven. I started looking over the cereal trying to decide which one was coming home with me. I saw some Cocoa Rice Krispies, but these ones had marshmallows in it. I decided against it (I have a hard time with some cocoa cereals ever since I threw up Cocoa Frosted Flakes because of a brutal hangover one morning. lol), and moved along looking for something else. And that's when I came across a cereal I had never heard of......Bacon Strips. I actually dreamt about a cereal that had real strips of bacon in it. BLECCH!!! I was repulsed in my dream, and I am repulsed now, ladies and gentlemen. As willing as I am to try almost any cereal, may I just state for the record I would never try that.

Did I mention that when I went to Israel for a trip in June I came back with 4 boxes of cereal? Well COME ON! It was cool, it was cereal from overseas!!! And I really must commend Israel on it's incredible cereal selection....it was amazing. Highly overpriced, but amazing. :-)
And yes, it got me a few strange looks while going through airport security and when trying to clear customs here in Canada. LOL. But it was worth it, baby!!

Anyway, the weird part about all this? I went shopping for my dad's birthday present today in Wal-Mart, and didn't even realize I did it, just like in my dream, until just now as I wrote it out.
And even stranger? My mom just came back from a trip in Savannah, Georgia and she brought me back two boxes of cereal because she knows I love it; Cocoa Puffs and Cocoa Pebbles.
