Dream Blog: Day 43

I think this is my second dream where I'm at the intersection of Ben Franklin Parkway and 16th street in Center City Philadelphia. I'll have to look into this.

***
Me and a few people were at some gameshow taking place in a big warehouse at night. It's sort of like a dating show with girls and guys. The winner of each round goes and sits in a jacuzzi. The first winner was this blonde guy who looked like Abram from Road Rules or Nick Carter, and I hated him. When the next guy went into the hot tub, the Abram looking guy started splashing and jumping on the other guy, being really immature.

Some cops came in to bust it all up, as if it were illegal, and they started gassing the place. A hole opened up in the wall and we made a run for it, except I was naked as I ran out. I covered up my shlong with one hand and my butt crack with the other, although as I was running I thought to myself whether it was really worthwhile to cover up my butt crack. So we're running through the streets of Philadelphia and I suggest either in my head or out loud that we go to Breigh Court, this development that my company in real life owns, although the place in the dream was just a rowhouse. We were all waiting at an intersection, I believe the one at Ben Franklin Parkway and 16th Street, I look to the right to take account of who's with us. Maged, Anthony, and I think Matt Behen and Artie Lange are there. I consider leaving some of them behind to make my escape faster.

Dream Blog: Day 41

I've been seeing a lot of dream signs lately, including small hands, flying, corpses, etc. I guess my head is trying to throw me a bone and wait for me to recognize what's going on and "wake up" in the dream. I'll make a strong effort tonight remember to recognize dream signs.

Lance Armstrong is with us but he’s supposed to be some kind of politician. He comes with a big group of us and we go to dinner. I see him at a table with a girl and he’s a giant mouse, which I don’t think is strange. We go to another room in the restaurant and as we sit down, we see an upside down bloody head stuck to the wall, apparently there was some sort of murder the night before. I suspect Lance did it. I see a flashback of someone using a wood staff to kill the person. Later, Lance starts hooking up with the teacher or some other woman and the killer comes into the room and sticks the stick through his throat. I guess he wasn’t the killer.

Big concert for school with a lot of celebrities.

I’m flying with some regular orange helium balloons over this beautiful tree filled area, it reminds me of upstate NY. I get to a big lake and on the other side is like a big reservoir type thing, a concrete park area kind of like a big concrete cliff with lots of people hannging out. Gillian is down at the bottom and off to the side by herself doing work or something. I fly up to the top and walk around, talk to people. I get more balloons to fly back and get wet fom this sprinkler near a young boxer who looks like the devil from last night's Nip/Tuck episode. I grab one balloon and start flying back, but Marilyn from work calls something out to me (she’s at the bottom in a picnic type area with some friends) and I grab another balloon to fly back over the lake to where Gillian is.

Gillian is painting a picture, it's really good and colorful, like an Egyptian sky at sundown. Very vibrant colors with 3 different sky color separated by clouds. I make her mad by starting out saying something stupid kidding around and she gives me attitude the rest of the time. Dave and Shannon are there. Later she tries to kiss me but I don’t want to.

Dream Blog: Day 35

A group of us are on a barge type thing and we’re traveling on a bay, it’s almost like Survivor where you try to get goods at the end.

I’m in a hotel/airport/conference center, I go upstairs to a different floor bathroom and I pass by Dr. Scot. I think, wait he knows about this floor? Then I realize that I’m actually on the ground floor. I look around through giant windows and see different planes, lots of young people in a big lounge, some are smoking. As you go to board a plane, you take a raft down a little passage of water, almost like those Jetson conveyer belts. There’s a group of guys though that are like hijacking people, they have guns.

I compare my hand to Steve Thompson (from high school). He mentions how he has big fingers, and when I look at my hand alone it looks normal but against his my fingers look like baby hands. I keep comparing, and Gillian comes over to look. Steve leaves, I feel like Gillian is embarrassed by my body and I put on a black shirt.

Dream Blog: Day 34

Wow, 34 days is a long time. Here's to the lucid coming soon:

***
On a vacation with the family and Gilly. I'm in the back bathroom, it's like at Grandma’s Kinneybrook house. Gilly is showering behind Mike and I get mad at them. She’s like ‘What? It’s ok’ and I’m like yeah right you guys are definitely looking at each other and they sneak peaks. I leave, it’s really cloudy outside. I decide to walk to a different beach on my own, I see a no door jeep coming with the parents and Mike, they’re gonna go left so I go right but they follow me. I go up a road that’s surrounded on all sides by corn, as they come up I jump into the corn. Mike tries to follow me but I jump out and surprise them in a laughing way.

Difference between two hang gliders, one computer controlled and one person controlled. Or one is the new model. Some sort of attack is happening on the planet, the whole world seems more fantastic. There are big open fields, volcanoes. We gather for a meting to try to figure out what to do now.

At a hotel/pool with three girls, possibly Gilly, her sister, and one of their friends. They talk about their one friend who is a crack head, single mom, and drives a nice car.

Dream Blog: Day 29

I'm in my room, different room though, possible at the Oxford Ave house. A small black bird flies in a hole in the wall/window. I try to get it out. I drive around Oxford Circle afterwards, don't really remember what happens here.

I crash/land on an island in one of those small planes, I guess with Dave. We're trying to get to the endzone, it's like a video game. Sort of a cross between Final Fantasy and Madden, Dave's on offense I'm on defense, and our players look mystical, a lot of them like V from V for Vendetta. Instead of being on the island now we're playing the game on a TV. I beat Dave on several plays and I'm very confident I'll beat him on the last play, I use the Fox Blitz play but Dave wins. I get confused and I watch the replay to see what happened. Turns out my players that were blitzing got hit by Dave's players and ran out of hit points and died. I told him that it wasn't fair, that I should have won if I would have took the time to heal my players and he disagreed with me.

Sitting around a table with Gillian and two girls, one looks like Monica from a past job of mine and she's reading a Hebrew book for school with all these symbols all over it. She asks if Gillian was raised Democrat to which she says yes. I said no, her parents were conservative but socially liberal, to which I later changed my mind. I started making fun of the girl by saying liberal terms like ‘consumer rights.’

Same dream, filming a movie where Don Vito gets blown up. It’s ghetto effects but on purpose. James is in it too and Mike takes his polo shirt.

(real life) 6:30 rolls around, I'm awake before the alarm goes off. I try to hit alarm before it goes off every time it's about to ring this morning.

Dream Blog: Day 23

I'm at some snow mountain, my parents are leaving in their van but I'm staying and someone's staying with me. There's a party at a lodge type thing and we're out on a dock, but we come in and Cristin my cousin (maybe) is the bartender and she's not having success. We do something to start getting people excited and more people start buying drinks and having fun.

Me and Jay Z at a schoolfunction/making a music video. Someone says "Oh they're so competitive" and the whole time we follow each other back and forth to the gym walls playing a tag type game where we the person behind waits a while then tags the guy in front, then he runs back to the other wall while the tagged guy tries to tag him. After a while we start wrestling around (he’s now a white guy with semi long blond hair) and I get him in a leg lock and grab his ankle and tell him he's going to have to give up but he says something like "now what are you gonna do?" and he’s right because I can’t remember any submission moves. Someone in my family comes in with Alyssa and I try to go do some more of my responsibilities at this school function but she's hanging on me and i have to get her off of me cause my pants are starting to fall down.

We’re at a party and a skinny tall white guy (who looks like this nerdy guy I used to work with at the library) really likes this girl but she’s not interested. Gillian ends up hooking up with her I think, or someone else cause she gets really drunk. She’s apologetic sometime later. I tell her to be fair I’ll hook up with the same girl or someone else and she doesn’t want me to. They nerd guy wants to keep me away from the girl.

Winter, at a twin house (half is mine) and I’m with someone else. I go to the other side to talk to an old lady (Mrs. B?) and she gets out of her house and she has two dogs (Laura and Newman - Gilly's dogs). I pet them an talk to her.

New dream (don't remember any of this and some "words" I typed were incomprenhensible so I added letters/substituted as best I could): We go to an amusement park type thing where you have to buy an extra pass to go to the water park. Gilly regrets not getting it, cause wee could go in but not in the water. Mike points out some "doctor trees" and Gilly’s amazed. They’re pine trees that grow super tall and they need to b e trimmed down. I don’t like the guy who runs this (younger guy) and I give him attitude.

Dream Blog: Day 21

So this whole lucid dream thing does in fact take a while! I was hoping to get it right out of the gate, but I need to spend more time reviewing my dreams so my brain learns to recognize typical dream scenarios. Here's the latest from last night:

***
I'm playing Madden, or something like Madden and I keep waking up in real life. Each time I wake up I try to become a different position, and "exploit my early wakeup and try to get the attention of the ne baby." (I don't know what that means, but it's what I typed. "ne baby" could be one baby, new baby, etc. I do remember when I was typing this morning I was thinking to myself wait no this isn't realy Madden, it's something else why am I calling it Madden.)

I’m at an obstacle course that’s fun that I’ve done before. It’s supposed to be a series of challenges likes Survivor. (vaguely remember this)

Me and someone else jump off a bridge at night to escape somewhere. We go to swim away, but the water is shallow and stoney, it's like crawling on mud. We go in opposite directios and there are people looking for us from the bridge, flashing flashlights down toward us. It’s dark and they can't see us so we swim off in opposite directions.

Dream Blog: Day 18

I'm in high school but the campus is all spread out like a college campus and we have to walk all together to the next class. We walk down Philmont to the intersection with Bustleton.

I'm in the Sea Duck from Tail Spin the cartoon, and it's under control of some villian. After a while of being under capture I ask if we can go get a first mate, to which the villain agrees although I'm really going to get my mom cause she can save us. I leave the plane and somehow get to my mom, who is like Jean Grey and she has some powers. I give her some explosives to help her in case the villain takes her powers away. I also give some explosives to a little girl who I'm going to take on the plane too.

Dream Blog: Day 17

***
Traveling over hills and mountains with a camera trying to get a good shot of the ocean. On the way I see some Arab towers that would make for good pictures so I try to get all the way up to the cliff for a good shot. When I get over the last hill, I see a huge valley of all these golden Arab looking buildings all packed together. The houses might have even been just small statues since as I got close they looked small, but the whole scene looked really cool and impressive. There were a few guys in turbans with their mouths covered with cloth from this community near there and I was nervous about them. One came over and called his friend over and they wanted to see my camera. I tried to avoid it and the one shady guy jokingly said ohh we're not going to take it. I also remember taking a handful of sand and they were like gold pebbles.

I'm at upstairs at a coffee shop and I take some pictures to the downstairs because I like the way the place looks.

I take Kashka outside to go check out some animals. There are different kinds of geese and chipmunks that I want her to look at but not chase. I hold her close and tight to my chest so she can't escape. I also see a big turtle coming out of some swamp type spot and go over towards that, but then I see there's a hippo or rhino close by so I start to turn left because I get worried that the hippo might start running at me and then I might drop Kashka. The hippo starts getting aggressive and messing with the turtle, flipping him over onto his back. I get worried about him and consider going back to flip him back over but then the turtle flips over on his own. I walk back to my house and into the kitchen.

I'm in the downstairs of my house but it's compltely different, almost set up like Grandma Sands' house. I go down to the basement to my bedroom and all the walls throughout the house are painted white with primer. I see a ladybug on the floor and I pick it up and make a wish, blow it outside. I think about how I don't have to put it in my mouth and blow it, I just have to put it on my hand and blow. I look at the windows and think how they're crappy and wonder why we didn't replace them along with all the other windows. I figure they're in the basement so it doesn't matter too much, I'll just clean them and paint them.

Upstairs with Dave, Michael, Tara, and a few other girls. The walls are primed and there is writing here and there in black permanent marker on the walls. The words are small and sloppy. We're talking about me trying to get the universe to do what you want and how that works out. Dave says "For a smart logical guy, he can be really stupid." Everyone laughs and starts talking at the same time. I try to explain myself, talk about how I think things can work and talk about the butterfly but everyone keeps talking loudly and I can't defend myself. I get really frustrated.

Little Michael (I think, could be another cousin) is there now but he's a long white/gold goat. His face is sometimes Little Michael's and sometimes a goat's (he may have two heads). He lives up in the 3rd floor attic room and his transformation was gradual. I joke about how his body is twelve feet long but his legs are only a foot and a half long. He says he's still interested in girls and jokingly jumps up on one to the right of me.

Dream Blog: Day 16

Sleeping in TR, but ended up having a very in depth cool dream. After I woke up I wanted to go back to it but I was too awake. Eventually I fell back asleep and dreamed about something else. Here we go:

***
I'm at some sort of hotel/resort, in a room with some guy. I go down to Travis and his girlfriend's room but I'm waiting for the guy from upstairs to leave the room because I want to do something or get something out of there. I go in the elevators and stairs, all this tricky stuff so he doesn't see me. I also somewhat remember going on some wagon ride somewhere and possibly in a pool.

Gilly and I are on a boardwalk fighting, and we're in water at some points. She tries to avoid the fight and just go play a game but I didn't want to so I walked away. We walk together somewhere else in the fair when we see two dead bodies lying on the boardwalk with the boards broken underneath them (apparently they fell from high). One had blood on his head, the other was bleeding out of his eye. Their eyes were open and I remember pondering their blood and thinking how it was the first time I saw a dead body that wasn't at a wake.

Someone in the background was shouting and explaining how the bodies fell out of a plane or something. I looked up and there was a guy with wings flying pretty high above us and he dropped another person. The person looked Italian like Ron Jeremy/my old uncle Vinnie and he bounced off grass and under a chain link fence. He wasn't dead but he hit his head and his arm looked all broken and twisted.

The winged guy continued flying around, picking people up and dropping them. We ran to a spot with picnic tables, watching. We had to dodge bodies sometimes as they fell. There were two cops there, one was a young guy with black hair that was buzzed on the sides and short on top; the other cop was John McQ from my networking group. The cops looked worried but weren't doing much to stop this guy.

The winged guy suddenly swooped down close to us. He was wearing a regular t-shirt and pants, had a fat belly, a moustache, and was sort of bald. The wings might have been some sort of contraption or detachable, although they were white and looked real. I think he tried to swoop me up after yelling at him but instead he just grabbed a bunch of pizza and other food and flew straight up. He started gobbling it up quickly and flew towards Gilly, I thought he was going to puke it up on her like a mama bird style. Instead he grabbed her and tried to fly up, but I jumped up and wrapped my arms around her and he couldn't hold onto both of us so he dropped us. I think I jumped up and started wrestling with him in the air but I got tossed to the ground near the cops.

I yelled to the young cop 'shoot him shoot him!' and he said that he couldn't. I ran to John McQ and grabbed his gun, started to fire at the winged man while his back was turned toward me but the gun had no bullets. John said it wasn't loaded. I got mad that these cops carried unloaded gun, then woke up.

In my dream later, I'm at a bar in a pool and I go to another room to go get Maged. There are columns and statues inside, it's dark and the walls are maroon I think. We go to the main room with a pool, and it's just like a regular swimming area at gym except everyone in the pool is naked and one girl is walking on her hands doing weird acrobatic stuff. Gilly's in the pool by me, and I see a B-list celebrity who is the host/guy in charge or whatever, but he's annoyed that he has to be there.
