Dream sequence #6!

May 6, 1999 - Thursday

We were at a sports event and had to change clothes. I went into the lockerroom that said GIRLS on the door and when I started to take my stuff out of my bag, five guys walked in. They wondered why I was in there. I said I came in the girls' locker room and they said they came in the boys' locker room. All of us had never been to that school before, so we went out the way the others came in. It ended up that the boys' and girls' locker rooms were connected.

Ok. Whatever. More boring.


May 28, 1999 - Friday

There was a town where only two people could live in a house and they could be any age. I just moved there, so my sister was telling me the things we could and could not do. My house was the one with a big violin picture by the door. Sister said that as long as that was there, she did not think that he could come into my house. Since she was not positive, we went to her house which had a sign that said "FLIRT" by the door. We ran upstairs and I asked her who "he" was. She said "he" was a big monster that came to eat people, but if you had a certain picture by your door, he would leave you alone most of the time. If you did what you were supposed to. Mollie lived next door to Sister and she had a "FLIRT" sign on her door, too, but she did not know what we were supposed to do to keep him away, so I said that we should call guys on the phone - because it was late and forbidden to go outside - and talk to them. Since it said "FLIRT" by the door, I figured that's what we should do. As we walked upstairs - to the third floor - to get the phone, there was a loud bang at the door, so then we ran to the phone and he kept banging at the door, so right away, I called a guy - there is only one in the whole neighborhood - and as soon as I started talking to him, the monster stopped banging and went away. After he left, I told the guy that I had to call him because the sign by the door said "FLIRT" and he was the only guy. He said he had the same thing by his door, so it was a good thing I called because he lives right next door to Mollie and the monster walked by as he was talking to me. So then we talked every night and I sold my big violin house to Matt because he knows how to play one and I moved in with Sister.

It's like...4-year-old boy meets 13-year-old girl. hah. And by "big violin" I meant stand up bass, in case you were wondering.

Dream sequence #5

April 25, 1999 - Sunday

There was a fun day at the high school and they were having a dance. Afterward, the guys were supposed to carry their dates up a mountain path in a race. A week before the dance, Cliff had to give me something that I left in his car and he asked me who I was going to the dance with. I said that nobody asked me and Cliff said that he hadn't asked anyone yet, so we agreed that if nobody had asked us by the end of the school day on Friday before the dance, we would go together. So, that Friday came and we still didn't have dates, so Cliff and I planned to go together. There wasn't a track meet that day, so I decided to go to the frosh/soph baseball game. After the game, Jon asked me who I was going to the dance with so I said that since nobody asked me yet, me and Cliff decided to go together. Then he said, "Ok. Bye." and walked away before I could even ask who he was going with. I thought we was going with Addie. The next day, right before the dance, Addie ran up to me and said that Jon wouldn't even come to the dance because I was going with Cliff. So then I ran all the way to school to talk to him. I said that a week ago, me and Cliff decided that if neither of us had dates by the end of school on Friday, we would go together. It took me so long to find Jon at school that we we got to the dance, the last song was on. We saw Cliff and Addie together, so Cliff must have asked her when I left. Then, everyone looked a lot happier and me and Jon won the up the mountain race.

Of course we won. You knew we would. I win. That's just what I do. I must say, that it is sometimes quite difficult to type these as they were written, me being a grammar nerd and all. I mean, it's mostly correct...but I'd still consider the above writing sample to be horrid. I cringed sometimes. Also, what's with me dreaming about multiple boys falling for me?


April 30, 1999 - Friday

We went to the hospital because my grandma was very sick. That night, we found out that she died. My mom was really sad. After the funeral, my mom and me drove out to a field to get a suitcase with stuff in it. Sheila's mom was there because her mom and my mom were sisters. They had another sister that would have gotten two of the things in the suitcase, but she died as a baby, so my mom brought me with to show me what to do with the things. They opened the suitcase and there were six little fuzzy balls in it. They were arguing because my mom and her sister were each supposed to get three fuzzy balls and I had to get at least two fuzzy balls and there were only six in the suitcase. Then they stepped in the field to look for more and about forty jumped out of the field towards us. My mom told me to catch as many as I could. I caught fifteen of them. The ones that were not caught hit the ground and disappeared. Then suddenly, a storm came so they ran away as fast as they could. I ran with them and asked if I should go back to get the fuzzy ball things and she said that I had to so I ran back against the storm and got my pants (it was hot outside so I was wearing shorts) and the ten fuzzy things that were left. As soon as I picked all of them up, the storm went away and the sun came out. As I was running to catch up, I dropped a fuzzy thing and it disappeared. Then we ran into town and went into a McDonalds and in there was a red and yellow thing in the middle of the play room that had the round balls in it. My mom and aunt chanted something three times, then we lifted up the top of the ball holder and there was another level under the plastic balls that we put all of our fuzzy balls into for safe keeping. A little boy saw us do that and after we left, he tried to lift it up like us, but he couldn't.

This seems more like the dreams I recall having...maybe the weird ones just stand out more. But really...fuzzy balls? Storms? Chanting? What?


I had dinner at LuLu's tonight (Note: This was actually typed/written on the 13th). Hummus pita with cucumber & tomato slices. Yummy stuff. Yep. That's about the update on my life.

Oh. And I left my phone at the office (of my sort of job) yesterday and today when I picked it up...6 new voicemail. I don't think I've EVER had that many at once. EVER. EVER. Sister called. E called. Friend called. Friend of friend called. Guy from the Chicago Bulls called. It was just ODD. But I returned all the calls that I needed to. I think. And I might have a modeling gig in a month-ish. The friend of a friend needs a model subject. I still have to be approved by her teacher though. I'm going down to Aveda tomorrow for that. hah.

Yep. That's my life. It's 9pm and I'm getting sleepy.

Dream sequence #3:

April 9, 1999 - Friday

My cousin was at our house and he wanted to go see The Matrix. My brother told him he had already seen it 5 times and it was a really good movie, but when cousin asked what happened, brother said that he didn't want to spoil the ending. Then my mom told cousin that brother just said that because he was mad that she wouldn't let him go see it because it was rated R.


See what I mean? How boring of a dream is that? Let's see if the next one is any better.


April 11, 1999 - Sunday

My dad, brother, me, and Emmy were all going to drive to Kansas to visit my grandparents. My dad had to stop at the R's house because they were selling a car and ours didn't work well enough to drive that far so brother was going to drive our old one home and then we would follow him and go to Kansas. Me and Emmy sat at a table in their garage because the car they were selling was not there yet. Brother sat at the other end of the table and my dad sat in a chair by the refrigerator next to Mr. R. Brother just finished a can of beer and he got up and went to the fridge and took out a wine cooler and a bottle of beer. He had a couple twinkies that he bought for the trip so he got those and opened the wine cooler and pour some of it on the twinkie so it would soak in. Then he took a bite and made a really funny face so me and Emmy both started laughing. While we were laughing, I heard the garage door that leads into the house open and Chris came in. We were still both laughing hysterically and he just looked at us and smiled and shook his head. The beer had a twist-on cap so brother told me to open it for him. I loosened it, then I spun it with my finger so it would get unscrewed all the way, but I spun it too hard because it flew off and hit Emmy in the head. Chris yelled, "Good one Lauren" and me and Emmy started laughing again. Then Jeff came with the car and my dad bought it and we left.


Another thing I wonder...I was writing down dreams like...every other day. I don't recall having that many dreams these days. Do I really dream that much less? Or is it just a memory thing? Did I remember better because I was making sure that I wrote them down immediately when I woke up (even if it was 3am)? hmm. This makes me want to start a dream journal again.
