Rapid Eye Movement

I've been having a lot of weird dreams lately. Well, I guess that's probably not saying too much; my dreams always tend to be weird, but I often don't remember them. I've remembered a ton of them lately. So, in the spirit of blogging and documentation, I'm going to treat this as my dream journal. I probably won't do it forever...and if I have dreams that are weird or personal, I probably won't write about them. I'll use my discretion. Anyway, to start off, I'm going to describe all the weird dreams I've had this week...in reverse chronological order.

Ok. Here we go.

Thursday - Last night, (or rather, this morning), I dreamt that I was at a high school swim practice. I was walking around the pool deck, and all the swimmers (guys in this case; it must have been the boys' swim team) were standing in the pool, in a set-up similar to a baseball team. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Anyway, as I was walking around the pool, Ryan (who was in the "outfield") called me over. He started talking to me about some musical or singer or something...and told me he had a song I should listen to. I told him I had to go to the bathroom, but I'd come back and listen to it later. So, I went into the girls' bathroom and (here's where it gets weird) this girl walked up to me looking really dazed - almost possessed - and said, "It got to you too?" And then she passed out and fell to the floor. Then this blonde, ghostly girl came out of a stall holding a knife. I somehow figured out that she was, in fact, a ghost, and so I ran out of the bathroom (leaving my phone on the sink). When I came out of the bathroom, I ran haphazardly around the pool, and Ryan yelled something to me, kind of a cheer, and then realized that I was freaking out and some of the guys started to come over to me to see what was wrong, but then the coach called them in. Anyway, I started walking around the pool again, and this tall, scruffy guy came toward me (apparently my boyfriend or something?) and I told him what had happened. Then I said I left my phone in the bathroom, and would he come with me to get it. So we walked toward the bathroom and then this weird kid came up to us and started making fun of maybemyboyfriendguy and I slapped him (weirdkid) and then he slapped me back and maybemyboyfriendguy picked him up by his shirt and threw him on the ground. Then we went in to the bathroom, and Allison Albaugh was going in too, and I told her she shouldn't go in there but she did anyway and the ghost was in there with a knife again. So somehow maybemyboyfriendguy managed to take the knife from her while I grabbed my phone and we ran out, but she followed us. She started throwing these other knives at us. We kept running, and she kept knife-throwing, but then I turned around and said, "Wait, let me help you." And asked her why she was there (you know, why she hadn't "crossed over" or something) and she said she had unfinished business and that she had to "dream her dream." I think her dream had something to do with flying. Or swimming in the Olympics. So we agreed to help her, but she was still creepy. Then Erin walked up to me and said that she'd made me some bran muffins. And then I woke up.

Wednesday - Wednesday night, I dreamt that my mom and I were at a pet store in the mall (that happened to look like a mix between Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, but it was selling puppies). We found this dalmation puppy (that was folded up like a purse, or kind of like a pillow pet) and thought it was really soft and really cute, so we got in line to find out how much it cost. We stood in line for a long time, and we were really excited about getting this puppy, but when we finally got up there, the cashier told us that the puppy cost $17,000. Obviously, we opted not to get the puppy. I had thought it would cost like $300, so it was quite a bit more expensive than we were looking for. Then we put the puppy back in its cage and walked out. And that was it.

Tuesday - Tuesday night's dream is a crowd favorite. Also, definitely the least weird dream of the week. Tuesday night, I dreamt that a girl (I think Rachel) needed lipstick, and I had some lipstick in my purse, so I gave it to her. But here's the crazy part - in real life, I DON'T have lipstick in my purse.
Yeah, that's it. It's as boring as you think.

Monday - Monday night, I dreamt that I'd been walking around this festival or fair or something (if you've seen Elizabethtown, it looked a lot like the flea market Orlando Bloom goes to at the end of the movie). Anyway, I came up to this shop where they sold shoes and puppies (A lot of dreams about puppies lately). I was there for shoes, and I found this really cute pair of shoes that I wanted - they looked kind of like the blue flower-y looking Toms, but they were shaped more like Sperrys. So I found these shoes, but then this lady came up and took them, when she clearly knew that I wanted them. And what's worse - she wasn't even there for shoes. She was shopping for puppies. Bitch. So then I bought these other shoes that were a dark teal and kind of like those old Kangaroo shoes (remember, with the pockets?) and was unhappy about it. The end.
