Kiss My Lips

It was dark out and you were sitting on this l shaped sofa against the wall that was glass from floor to ceiling.  You pulled me over you to kiss me, and my arms shook as I dug my fingers into the cushions on the couch to keep from collapsing over you.  I could feel two fingers pressed firmly between my legs and I wanted to sink down on to you, so you would part me and feel my warmth, but I paused and couldn’t move.  The glass door opened and some people we knew were coming through to get to another part of the house, and I was doing a mental check to make sure the blankets and the layers of my skirt were hiding what was really going on.  After they passed through I collapsed on the couch next to you and we started laughing.

Do You Call My Name

This dream was all over the place.  I was at what was kind of like Disneyland but laid out differently, there was a large canvas painted like the night sky and you couldn’t tell when it stopped and you were actually looking at the real sky.  There were some goth kids too but it wasn’t Bat’s Day.  Then it was daylight and I was following these two other chicks around these stops in this touristy area, with dusty roads, I think they were dirt like it was some Western thing.  There was a lot of merch like bags and ugly jeweled shirts.  I was trying to find something appropriate to wear for a thing we were going to that evening, and was cranky I hadn’t packed anything gothy.  I walked through this large room filled with stuff and passed these two racks filled with clothing until I found a back wall with ridiculous amounts of jewelry on display.  It was dim since there was only natural light coming in from these small windows near the ceiling, and right in the center of a display was a Horus necklace looking to the left, with his wings spread out. We were going to some night where someone we knew was spinning but it was some terribly boring set in a really sad attempt at a Peter Murphy tribute.. and then I woke up with Ra in my head. Sweet.

We need dis!!!

We had a pug!!!! It was so friggin derpy and adorable! *squee*

I had a bunch of other random dreams when I feel back asleep but can’t remember any of them and don’t really care cause the pug won.  We need a little derpy fur baby in our life.

Utada

I was in a bedroom with this pretty seating cut out area like thing under a window.  The windows made a rounded area that protruded from the house and they were vertical, like rectangular window panes.. yeah..  I was going to tint them but the materials I had across the room on this black leather bench were wrong.  They were in smaller panels with some white plastic material around them.  Some looked like crown molding around the edges some were this flimsy bendy thin plastic, and I guess it was designed to look like there were mo glass pieces and divided the panes horizontally for some aesthetic thing.  Some had other items attached to them, like a mini lamp, or latch, or some were tinted red or green.  I couldn’t use any of it an wanted to get regular ark tint  I wondered if I’d forget what the colors really looked like outside or if I’d make my eyes too sensitive to how bight it really was when I went out, then I was all okay that’s silly.

Then I was sitting up in a bed that was up in a loft.  Music i hadn’t heard before was playing and it filled up the entire space.  I was really happy about it, and looked at a monitor on a stand to see a blue gui listing tracks.  I was trying to figure out how to take the steps down but realized there were two ladders that crossed each other in the middle, like they were build that way and intersected, and wasn’t sure how to keep walking down after the mid point.  I remember dark blue and white fabrics.  Instead of worrying about getting down the steps that moment I stayed in the bed / loft / place thing a little longer and started playing on the computer.  We were chatting on IM about Utada’s newest album.  She finally released her last one and the videos were really old school and very reminiscent of Traveling, but the music still progressed in the direction her Japanese albums had been going in the last few years.  The emotions that poured from the music, and the way that it felt,  I can’t even put into language.  That’s the beauty of music.  I can’t remember what it sounded like when I woke up either. I guess we’ll know soon enough.

Bollywood Gypsy

I was driving dad’s truck and had issues with the brakes.  I would try to stop so I could parallel park but as soon as I shifted gears it would start to roll and I’d have to go back out to the street only to use both feet to slam on the brakes again.  he’d taken over but was suffering from anxiety and curled up on the floorboard so I went and tried again.  We finally got it to stop but wasn’t sure where to park it.  We had another person with us but I can’t remember who.  And we walked this curb up to this lady who looked like Violet from Private Practice sitting at a small table and there were people around waiting for something.  I hit a button and started a video and right as I did this, she asked are we getting started?  And began to play hers.  We both stopped our videos at the same time.

I was watching a man running towards these soldiers on horses, through this creek, and he’d lost his jacket so they couldn’t tell who he was and left him when he was trying to defect from the other side.  Or they had a common enemy or something.  Idk what his nation of origin was but he was tall, tan,had dark hair that was parted to the side, and had a thick mustache.  This was very mid century.  He was captured and turned in to the SS in some remote jungle area.  We were outside some building at night where there were tables setup and it looked like a dinner party had been hosted earlier in the evening.  I was’t sure if they were going to kill us on the spot or take us somewhere.  I had a jewelry box on my lap and inside it were a bunch of blue pressed pills.  I took a handful and showed it to the commanding officer then tossed them in my mouth.  There were too many so I couldn’t actually swallow them and started spitting them out.  They were confused and when I looked int he box again noticed this plastic bag with what looked like blue, green, and white gum balls, but they were some kind of chewy pills that knocked you out.  I started passing them around like candy and waited to see if our captors would pass out.

I saw a bunch of people waking around in what looked like Roman garb and some formations were in red, others in a light blue, and then there were some other people in different colors / designations.  I was wearing red and stood at a counter to transfer the gum ball things I had left into another container, then put that container in a matching red drawstring like backpack I Could carry with me.  I walked down a ramp past a bunch of people wearing the same thing I was to a tent with a couple people sitting there, and busted out the container.  They thought it was clever… the backpack..idk.  When I looked up we were in a closed off room with purple curtains all around and there was a TV on the wall to the right.  The guy on the opposite couch was wearing a suit and ha a salt and pepper beard.  Him and a couple people were discussing things that had changed at GD like the front page no longer having Danica on it, and other changes in how thins were being done.  This one lady, the same one who looked like Violet from earlier, was like “okay are we getting started now?!” An d start her video talking about random things, it seemed like they were all consultants for the company, and for a few others, so they had their own schedules and time for random things like this.  I had no idea how they do it, but it hint he bearded guy was a corporate lawyer.

I was sitting at a table and dad was next to me, then he got up.  A guy who looked like Stephen Collins was sitting across from me at this table, and he was cutting these huge soap blocks down into smaller bars.  They were different colors and were all swirly.  I helped break them apart with a knife then started using my hands since they were coming apart easily like someone already ran a knife through them.  Then I was stacking them and they looked like piles of desserts and cookies. He was moving the piles off to the side to make room for more.  A lady walked up to explain we didn’t want to stack them a certain way or they’d crumble and he was all whatever.  There were a few rows of tables and folding chairs and they all had different crafting stations and pastries laid out on them.  There was a crock pot at the next table over where they were dipping skewers of bananas and apples into what might have been caramel or chocolate.  I asked if we had one to setup at our table but we didn’t.

I got up and was in this apartment with a huge bathroom, and the tub, walls, tiles, and everything else were white.  There was a glass door with a shade over it.  The door went out to the side of the house and to the yard.  I heard kids walking around in the area, and there was some wifi issue going on I couldn’t remember.

I woke up and fell back asleep…

Gypsy was dressed in some belly dancing costume on fb.  I went to a green foods breakfasty place and saw two people at the fruit bar grabbing things and making suggestions. It was like I’d met them before but couldn’t remember where from.  The guy behind the counter had a heavy Asian accent and was hard to understand.  When I looked down he made this chicken bowl thing, and I was gonna run with it and asked how much it was.  He said it was $23 and change and I was like that’s nuts.  I’ve never spent that much here before and he showed me the bowl again and there were green jello cubes under the shredded chicken breast like it was some premium thing, and I got all angry like.. I don’t like jello, and normally you’d ask what I’d want, and this time you didn’t.  He just stood there and didn’t offer a solution so I said I’d pay it and leave and handed him a card but the cards in my wallet looked weird so I was all wait, then handed him another one.  He offered to make a different one and was all without the stuff I didn’t like and said it was $9 and change, and I was all no.  So I got my card back and thought about updating my Yelp review while walking out, but then thought writing it while angry would be a bad idea and would be mean, but was thinking how I’ve never paid for something I didn’t want and had no intention of eating then just walked out before either.

I walked down these steps and when I got to the corner, before going into the next building, did a back bend and stretched.  I decided to keep going and did a flip.  The sunlight was on me and felt nice and warm instead of all burny for once.  These guys said they had a table and a spot for me so I walked in to go inside and this little kid by the door was being a brat.  I lifted one of his legs and saw under his shoe there was this round thing.. like a wheel but it was flat against his shoe. I threatened to take it away from him so he started yelling no and I didn’t see the importance of the toy, but another guy was like nah, don’t do that to the kid he lost the other one, and I was all ohh.  So I left it and walked outside.  The kid stopped yelling.

Inside it looked like a tavern and they were setting up this long table but the group was outside so I went back to wait with them.  I was looking at fb and saw this video of Gypsy and this other girl at what looked like some crazy movie set, and they were in these costumes doing these cool synchronized dance moves, and it looked like a Bollywood production and they jumped up on this restaurant booth and then her friend was on top of the back rest part and it was tall.  the back part was a little taller than Gypsy and I Was all omg, that booth is over 5′ tall that’s so cool and it was ivory colored with super colorful designs on it.

I was laying in a fluffy be with navy blue linens and Gypsy was next to me.  Like we had our feets out to opposite sides of the bed and our heads met in the middle of the side, like the edge, cause we were laying sideways/diagonal.  Then she got up on top of me while I was laying on my tummy an said okay she was going to figure out what was going on with my back, and I was all what?  She started scratching my back on my left side an I started giggling cause it tickled, then she started to actually scratch and I was all yeah.. okay that’s cool, then she mentioned something about scarring in that area and I was like orly?  and she was all yarly.  Idk if she was talking like acne scarring or what.  She got up and then I was watching the TV that was embedded in the window.  It was showing some reporter on site at some disaster on CNN.  I looked to the side and noticed there were window washers and was all oh snap, and looked down and saw I was wearing my black silky pajamas ad retracted back. The TV switched over to this photo of you at an office desk, holding this little blond boy, maybe around 3 or 4 years old and laughing like he was being tickled or you just told the funniest joke on the planet.  Then they showed a picture of these destroyed buildings like they were covering some natural disaster in the bay area and I was all omfg, what is going on?  Then some dude was talking and I couldn’t figure out if they’d switched stories or if they were related.

I was in a house going to the bedroom and there were a bunch of clothes and Mickey Mouse hats from Disneyland on the bed and nightstand.  It looked like little kids destroyed my room.  The room itself was all white and beige and well kept other than the kids stuff.  Without the color from the kids things it would have been pretty sterile and boring.

Lucid dreaming

I noticed the last two nights… my dreams have had me looking into a mirror while topless, I keep having random hair changes, I’ve questioned whether I was in a dream while dreaming, and I’ve been aimlessly trying to get places but I’m confused.

Well then…

9:00pm edit: Two articles came up in my feed regarding lucid dreaming. I don’t really know much about it, but apparently it happens sometimes. I think it has in the past and I’ve forgotten it or it’s been so rare. I’ve woken from dreams before thinking they were so real. I had a hallucination last year of an argument outside my door that never happened, of being paralyzed in bed, and then waking up. It was hard to tell what was real and which wake ups were still within dreams. The fact that I couldn’t move my head from facing right to looking up and hearing a loud terrible noise in my left ear made me wonder if I experienced a seizure. I don’t have that medical history, but I know they typically happen and night and some people go undiagnosed, I also know the script I was prescribed off label, and take periodically to help me sleep, is an anti seizure medication and taking those of you aren’t prone to seizures will lower your threshold.. making you more. susceptible. to. seizures. Wtf. I think that ended up being some night terror induced paranoia for a couple days and that was it.

The last time since it happened was New Years in the hotel when I kept waking up in the dream but was still in the room at Mandalay and you were beside me every time.  I was paralyzed in the part where I wanted to yell at dream Sean. Lol. I didn’t know I was actually dreaming in either of the two examples where I’ve been paralyzed until after I woke up for real.

So I’ve had dream within a dream situations before. The last two nights I went from I think this is a dream, to this is a dream, without immediately waking up.  It’s strange, but at least there’s no paralysis or terrible audio hallucination.

I think it’s interesting some people try to have lucid dreams on purpose and one of those steps involved a dream journal. This archives been going for years just for the sake of doing it. I wonder if I brought this on myself or if it just happened. Maybe it’s stress? I wanted to blame ginseng since there’s a link but only the last example occurred after I started drinking the tea.  I’ve also been so fatigued lately I can’t remember the last time I took a script to help me sleep.. so maybe that’s part of it too.

“I think this is a dream”

I had woken up and walked over to the mirror in the bathroom vanity then noticed how my bangs had different shades of purples, magentas, blues, and a little green.  This wasn’t specifically galaxy hair but the colors blended well together.  My makeup matched too with the liner and metallic purple lipstick.  I was wearing color contacts but can’t remember if they were dark blue or something like it.  I was wearing a lace top where the bust is cut out and I paired it with a black under bust corset that was longer and went half way over my hips.  It was lacy and had ribbons that were sewn in to be all ruffly and matched the top well.  I wondered what you’d think of it and if you’d like it.  This was very fetish ball goth.  I approved.  I adjusted my boobs in the top again after putting on the corset then just played with them for a minute in front of the mirror because I could. idk

I heard a door open which confused me so I grabbed something to cover myself and dad walked in looking for something, all I could think was are you fucking kidding me?  And I guess it showed on my face as I was thinking I could have remembered locking the door for sure.. and don’t people know how to knock?  Dad said there was a second door to the right as he was leaving.  Idk wtf he was looking for.  So I walked out of the bathroom and the room I was in was like a studio with a decent sized kitchen and the space was L shaped.  The kitchen had some retro wood color but it was well maintained.  Anne’s dogs were there like I’d been watching them for a bit and Payton was wearing a cone of shame.  She was being aggressive towards the other dogs so I picked her up and she started to nip at my fingers.,  I placed her out of the studio so she had access to the rest of the house and I locked the second door.  Then I realized I’d locked her in another bathroom so I walked around to the front door, opened it, opened the door next to the one I was standing in that went to the bathroom Payton was in, and immediately shut and locked the front door before she could get in.  I looked at my reflection in the glass door of the oven and noticed I was wearing a white lace dress.  Then I heard the front door open and was all what the?  But it was two or three people who had a key… I guess they were the owners and were renting this space out like an Airbnb kind of thing.  They were asking where Payton was and I explained she was being aggressive towards the other dogs so I separated them.

I was walking around somewhere at night and looked this sign on an arch to my right to try and figure out where I was so I could go back and visit it later.  I kept thinking I was in Alabama or Louisiana.  There were these frat guys yelling random things across the street and these two chicks in uniforms were walking across the street so I followed closely behind them and they went through this walkway in this building and then up a couple steps to this door.  They asked if i went here and was a member of insert random society here that I can’t remember and I was all no?  They were all oh okay bye and went inside.  I still wasn’t really sure what was going on and walked around.  I was down south like in Tucson trying to get back to Phoenix and I was trying to do the math on how long it would take to get to Vegas, and was trying to figure out who I needed to see.  Apparently there was a time crunch and the situation changed where I could spend two or three extra days in Phoenix before going back and thought.. well I could be mopey in Vegas, or spend the time distracting myself and seeing friends.  I thought about who to call.. goth mom, Thomsen, Ashe.. who did I wanna stay with?  Where did I want to go?  I can’t remember what happened after but woke up in the back seat of a car and was leaning on Sarah, and Anne was sitting next to her.  We were all asleep in the back seat and Janine was driving.  It was dark out and I started to settle my head back on Sarah’s shoulder when I looked up and noticed we were driving in reverse and that Janine was driving the wrong way on the freeway, which explains going in reverse to go with the flow of traffic.  I was wondering how this even happened and Sarah explained it.  There were three cars about a quarter mile behind us but other than that there wasn’t much going on.  It started becoming light out and we were standing on snow.  There were three guys giving us grief about how we got there and how it was private territory.  Then Janine ski’d off down the hill to get away.

I was at some place and there was a cute little blond girl with her hair in pigtails.  She opened a door and decided to walk outside on the balcony but her guardians advised against it.  It was weird because these were narrow steps that curved up to another door on the floor above us but they weren’t exactly like a spiral staircase.  They also moved a little like a rope bridge.  The ground wasn’t super far away but it wasn’t close either,  I actually wasn’t sure how far the drop was, and there was nothing but what looked like rain forest surrounding us.  She hopped from step to step and I went after her knowing she was going to get stuck on a platform.  She got to the bottom platform before the steps change directions and start going up and she started to cry.  I reached out to grab her and she took my hand.  I sat on the bottom step and pulled her close so I could hug her and said I told her not to go off all by herself.  Her hair was dark now, and we sat there in these chairs (they were the platforms a second ago) and looked at this huge IMAX like screen in front of us.  There was this one guy off to the right side asking if I wanted soda and I thought about it then said no.  I was trying to find a remote on the cluttered table to my left and then to the west of us, we saw a plane fall out of the sky.  My only clue was the sunset being in the same direction.  Then on the screen it explained who it was and why he couldn’t marry so and so because he was an alien.  It was like some V level conspiracy except not reptile, and the room was dark and I saw the ending credits in front of us with this ugly neon 16 bit green text, and I mentioned how it was funny we found a secret in the end of a series and answered questions from Sailor Moon because this was on right before TMNT, so thank you to TMNT.. and the little girl turned to look at me and she was all confused, and I said I think this is a dream.. Yeah.

She looked horrified and I said no no no, it’s okay.  Like things had gotten so surreal and out of place I caught it.  She looked like anime now, and she was about to disintegrate like the dream was going to reset itself, or maybe I was going to wake up.  I said not to worry and we were standing i what looked like a conference room area with ugly red casino carpet.  She was wearing all black.  Black long sleeve sweater, skirt, leggings, very Hotaru.  I stood next to her and a door opened, then three people walked out.   I chose this one lady who was wearing a black chefs jacket and thought she’d be easiest for the girl to talk to.  She looked kind of like a brunette version of Cat Cora.  I wanted to know what was bothering her and what she was internalizing since I wasn’t sure how to help.  Then I woke up.

The Shoot

I was in my (fictional dream) open loft apartment and the windows were floor to ceiling and huge.  I was making a mental note purchase curtains for privacy and to control the light coming in later but wasn’t sure how to get them up there.,  I walked across the apartment which was larger than I remembered and then walked to the kitchen area and sat at this tall large table with tall chars.  There was a large TV mounted on the wall, or maybe it was a projector since it was so big,  I thought I should grab my laptop and come back so I could watch things while working on stuff.  There were a couple people sitting at the table and when I turned to look behind me I saw Josh C had a bunch of guests over.  There were over 20 people in the kitchen and dining area that had been converted into another sitting area with cream colored leather couches and recliners and a table.  His guests were looking at me in a rude manner and I was ready to kick them out but walked out to another room where there was a large dining room table with many chairs and another sitting area off to the side.  I remembered the color teal, like there was some lovely aqua teal rug somewhere, ad there were a couple people walking around further away in the room and I kept walking, going through these really nicely furnished well lit rooms and thought damn my house was big..  Where is Anne?  I was thinking about roommate rules of engagement regarding Josh C since I wasn’t sure how to best handle his random party.  (I asked her if he had groups over like this every night and she said yes and I thought omg, what is wrong with people?  Sometimes I’m fine with having people over but always went out and mostly kept my home to myself.  It was always my quiet escape to return to when I was done with the world.

We talked about going somewhere and I was following her mustang, but I was on a motorcycle and had issues with the road being dug up, being dirt, then riding out of this ditch and being on snow then ice.  I got out of the dirt lane and realized I had to get over to the left and when the light turned green the car next to me was kind enough to let me go in front.,  I wasn’t sure where sh was but finally got on normal roads again and then I realized we were going south on Maryland Parkway, south of the university.  Waaay south from where we lived.  I stopped and was standing in a corridor inside this apartment complex and it was dark out and windy.  Things were off and I started questioning if this was real, then did a little inventory check.  What could I see and touch?  Did I feel the wind and hear noises around me, was there color (there always is anyway), was I in a dream?  Were there enough details?  I was convinced things were weird but this passed for real at least in the dream. lol

I was supposed to be doing a shoot with someone like they were engagement photos but off like it was in a park and I was in some red and gold costume with lots of silk and stuff, then I was supposed to come out naked for other pics like it was some hippy new age chicks on Tumblr being forest elves / blood elves from WoW, and I walked into a dressing room and looked in the mirror to undo my top and then undo my hair so it fell down my back.  It was super long and light red and my boobs looked different but were still awesome.  I decided to keep the flowy pants on until I was outside and at the site we were shooting at and then I’d drop them.  I started walking past this pool area and some people didn’t notice while others stared and the girls acted disgusted while their boyfriends and fellow bros gawked and made noises and gestures.  Instead of outwardly showing annoyance I responded back in kind and they had no idea wtf to do with a woman who didn’t get embarrassed or flustered or offended.  They received a confident response and weren’t sure how to handle it.  I kept walking and  was trying to figure out how to get back over the curb to the grassy area we were at when I looked down and saw this huge water slide people were looking down at or were sitting on the edge and dangling their feet.  It looked like a huge half pipe water slide thing that just went down and got dark and I couldn’t tell where the tunnel went.  I wanted to jump down but because I wasn’t sure where I’d end up, or how it was timed and didn’t want to collide with anyone, I kept walking.  So I went into the pool to try and swim to a side that could get me where I wanted to be and decided to swim on my back with my hand along the wall so I wouldn’t get lost when one of the jets was in reverse and sucked on the palm of my right hand.  I had to pull hard and went around the corner so I could take the steps long the wall out of the pool.  There was a guy going down when I was climbing up and it was weird,  I’m not sure who got there first but he smiled and then I noticed I was straddling him while he was leaning on the ladder and immediately climbed out of the pool as he sank down.

The sun was down now and I kept walking, then found this smaller pool that turned out to be a large hot tub and hopped in to warm up, while keeping my arms out on the ledge so I wouldn’t go under.  I just wanted the warmth.. then I heard a door open behind me (I guess the dream changed it from outdoor to indoor) and I saw a Catholic priest storm through with another man rushing behind him.  He was looking for someone then turned around to head back, saying he needed Jessica Jones.  I got up like he was looking for me and went after him but someone tried to stop me and I wasn’t sure who.  I ran down the hall to this open window in the wall that had another room for some kind of forensic prep work.  I noticed Hannibal in a nice gray suit working there.  Him and another guy were prepping organs in bread crumbs, marinades, and other items when I realized the hearts, kidneys, livers, and other organs were human.  It threw me off but they were explaining part of the investigation involved ingesting the victim’s organs to gain insight, and then I thought well that would be a good job for Hannibal… very iZombie.. without the zombie part.

I walked into an office and saw Andrew C sitting at a desk and he said my name all excited.  It threw me off, I hadn’t seen him since 2012.  He was sitting at a desk with these huge ass monitors,  I’m sure they were actually two 40″ TV’s being used as monitors.  He asked where I’d been and thought I’d left the company or had gotten fired sine he hadn’t seen me and I said I sat down that way and pointed southeast.  Then he said okay cool and it was good seeing me.  My hair was super short and black with magenta streaks then.  I walked into a hall and it looked like the large house I was in earlier.  I was considering a change of clothes thinking what I was in may have been too casual and I didn’t want to hear it from TSO.  I kept walking and then found Zuko so I put my gaming laptop down when he was in between me and it for attention and picked him up.  He just stayed there like a doll while I held him, and Valentine and I walked to a room where a discussion was going and picked seats where there was a little arm rest with a cutout for Zuko to sit in.  The seats were plush and red like it was in a theater and every other row lifted up like the flight tour ride at Disneyland. It was super weird.  I can’t remember anything after that.

Katherine V’s Dream

“The first nightmare that I had last night took place in a zoo. Within the exhibit, there were 2 female tigers laying down facing each other. Between them was an adorable golden puppy. It was a big, “Awwwwwwww” for everyone involved. Then, someone came and took the puppy away from the tigers. The tiger on the right thought that the tiger on the left stole her “baby” from her, and she started viciously mauling the neck of the tiger on the left like prey. I was horrified to see blood streaming down the left tiger’s neck, as the right tiger kept chomping through. As it appeared she was killing her, I frantically called for help from a zookeeper, but there were none to be found and I went unheard. Before I knew it, the one tiger had beheaded the other, and the zookeepers were suddenly there pulling a big black tarp over them across the entire exhibit. I was deeply disturbed and in despair.

My interpretation: The puppy represented my inner child; the innocent, warm, and vulnerable side of me that needs to grow and be nurtured. And/or, it represents an immature, conceited person that I love and long to protect.

I was wondering what the tigers could have signified, reading that they can represent leadership. Later in the day today, it hit me and I just knew… The tigers are me. The tiger is my Chinese zodiac. They represent conflicting sides of me that long to protect, but one lashes out at the other for taking/letting go of the “baby”. Likely the heart vs. the mind.

My desperately calling out and not being heard represents being unable to attain the help I need during times of threat.

Using resources at my disposal, I gathered that the black tarp symbolizes a lack of love and support; death, mourning, rejection… The color is an invitation to delve deeper in my unconscious in order to gain a better understanding of myself. More positively, black represents potential and possibilities. It is like a clean or blank slate.”

Phoenix

Thank you.

From the bottom of my heart thank you.  You mean so much to me, and I appreciate everything.  The entire trip was fun, ridiculous, exhausting, amazing, and worth every second.   I’m glad I got to do the driving for one day and give you a small break.  Thank you for trusting me to do it.  I’m happy I finally got to share little bit of home that I missed with you and hope I get to show you more of my favorites someday.  Thank you for shortening the gaps between how long we go without seeing each other.  Something was different the last two days.  Thank you for giving me the best weekend and for loving me without restraint.  I really see how much you do for me and how you think about me when planning.

 

I’m sorry.

I know I said it earlier but I’m sorry I passed out and I *still* wish you woke me.  I know you were trying let me rest and only had my well being in mind.  I’m sorry you got off to such a  late start today and I feel terrible about it.  I’m sorry I jumped to the worst conclusion as soon as I looked around the room and it was quiet and your things were gone.  It is a reflection on past experiences and has absolutely nothing to do with you.  As soon as you answered the phone I knew my worst fears weren’t real, but my heart was already breaking when I reached for the phone.  I was scared, and in shock, especially after everything and with how well the weekend went.  Nothing in the room made sense.   I know its never been your intent to hurt me.  That is not what I expect from you, and it’s not how I see you.  I’m sorry thinking that when I woke up hurt you.  I’m a little broken today but I’m going to be alright.  We communicated and we’re okay.

I love you.  Please be safe.

Hotel deja vu

I woke up around 6am this morning and kind of drifted in and out of sleep for a little bit.  I was in our room at the Four Seasons but the door was on the opposite side of the room and there was a guy wearing black slacks and a light blue button down shirt with his sleeves rolled up.  He’d grabbed a black backpack and I wanted to turn my head and yell Sean!  but I was laying on my tummy and was paralyzed.  So here I am acknowledging this is freaky but I’m not in any real danger, maybe I just woke up too fast cause it’s like those night terrors without the terror part and my motor functions are just slow to start this time?  I’m waiting for my ability to yell and move return.  Sean!!!

I woke up and there was this lady in a blue polo shirt tucked in to khakis, she had long black hair pulled back into a pony tail and she had a cup on a saucer she was placing on my nightstand while saying things in French.  I believe this was a cappuccino or latte or something in that area.  I had no idea what she was saying or what was going on other than she mentioned something that sounded like baguette but brought things that resembled biscotti.  You were still passed out next to me.  She ended up leaving after setting these items down.  Then Shaun was sitting on the ottoman by the gray chair with a black backpack by his feet and it was open but I couldn’t see what was in it.  He was going off on some weird spiritual things like he’d found religion, without directly saying it.  Then he started talking about how he regretted not dating me back in the day and I was thinking really, then said “can you please leave?”  He kept talking about some epiphany and then I heard a voice behind me say “can you leave?”  You’d apparently woken up listening to him going off and reinforced my request.  He finally grabbed his bag to leave and then I woke up for real this time.  At least I’d hope so, otherwise this entire day has been a long ass dream or I’m in some hotel version of Groundhog Day.

Decisions

I was walking through what looked like a show room with different model kitchens, they were almost like the sets you see for pinup shoots while others were modern.  One was really unusual where the fridge stuck out a little from its designated spot due to a lack of space.  It was a large brushed chrome fridge that was way taller than me.. maybe not way taller and more like the one downstairs irl, but it seemed that way in the dream.  I was messing with something else that was plugged in and tried moving the cord.  It was like one of those large grey 220 volt appliance plugs, and when I turned around I realized I had pulled the cord and the fridge moved entirely out of it’s place so I needed to move it back.  Then I realized it was unplugged and couldn’t rotate it to find its cord and plug it back in before trying to push it back.

I was in some weird apartment that was old but had been renovated.  It was upstairs in a tall building and had an open floor plan with nice wooden floors that had a natural finish. I couldn’t tell if this was a studio or one bedroom apartment since it was long and the kitchen was surprisingly huge with black shiny cabinets and appliances.  The island was rectangular but the cabinets were rounded and stylized like the dressers on the Fabulous and Baroque website.  Like black on black lacquered Anais Credenza cabinets, they were gorgeous.  There were large windows to my right previously but then there was a large industrial sized washer and dryer, was I in another apartment in the same building?  They were the side loading style but large enough to walk in, they were the size of walk in freezers.  The person who just randomly showed up in this dream, who I guess was showing me everything, even walked into one of them and the light came on in the “drum” except it looked like a chrome room and just seeing someone in there felt very ominous so I was all okay lets go.

Brandon and I were downstairs in a living room watching the TV and it had a little static.  I wasn’t paying attention to it until he mentioned it making out a message on the screen and brought it to my attention.  It was some kind of personal threat to my life.  There was some chick with a short black bob we knew who walked down the stairs (the TV was against the wall the stairs shared) and we had a brief exchange about it and the other paranormal ish that was going around inside I can’t remember anymore, but lots of weird stuff was happening and it was directed at harming me.  She seemed to understand what was going on but didn’t offer any guidance on the problem and walked back upstairs.

I was in some really small room and the walls were painted some pea green color, there was barely enough room for a twin bed and a small desk, I can’t even remember what was currently on the walls but was considering getting a framed dragonfly for one of the bare spaces and then something else for another space.  I knew what the second object was in the dream and it’s gonna drive me crazy I can’t remember now.

Then I was sitting in a chair at this standalone desk where one side was against the wall.  It was parallel to the two rows of desks where some of the people I knew from infra and networking were sitting.  You and I had been discussing security and and there was another gentleman sitting at another desk like the one I was at.  We were making small talk when I discovered he was waiting to be interviewed.  We talked about different things while he waited and I gave him some info and general advice I would like appreciated in his situation and he thanked me.  The door behind him opened and he walked in.  At the row of desks were John W, Etori, Steve, and some other friends asking me why I didn’t go for that spot instead of the one I was currently considered, and we went back and forth on the pros and cons.  The door was still open and you were sitting at the table with the guy from earlier and dude was all why don’t you go for this thing?  I was happy with the decision I already made and these points only reinforced it.

So I was back in that pea green room but turned around and now it was a larger loft.  I was looking at this part of the wall that was maybe a foot long, like a little dent so it wasn’t a boxy 4 walled room, and thought that’s where the framed dragonfly should go.  I was talking to Brandon about placement while he sat in a chair at a desk against the wall.  Then I was sitting on the floor at a table writing in a notebook and the room had white walls.  A few of us were sitting on the carpet around a Korean table and you had your back against a sofa.  We were addressing the paranormal weirdness from earlier and you suggested taking some spot that was going to throw our schedules off, because I’d be going back to a swing shift and would be schooling in the morning.  It was going to be hard to see each other but you tried to push it for my benefit.   I wasn’t happy about it but decided to at least think about it.
