Dreams from January 23, 2010:

I had a dream that I was at my senior prom in my dream dress. Everyone else was a giant, grocery store turkey wearing a tuxedo. It was deeply disturbing!

I found out that in order to graduate college, I had to go back and repeat my 8th grade gym class. When I arrived, it was not gym class, but boot camp. Everyone had to run, but my job was to time them by throwing a stopwatch up in the air. When we were done, we parachuted into battle in the parking lot across the street from my house. My unit was supposed to assemble a cannon, but I got distracted fighting a cheetah in hand-to-hand combat in the snow. Then I ended up at a hospital trying to visit my mom. It was a giant futuristic hospital made mostly of glass. I searched floors 3-9 but couldn’t find her. She found me in the parking garage, and she was feeling much better so she gave me a piggyback ride. My friends appeared, and we couldn’t remember where we parked, but we did find Spiderman’s car, which was an SUV with purple under glow. We had guns that shot feathers so we fired them until it started to snow. We realized we were playing in the street and should move, and I woke up.

I am on the roof of a brick building. On either side the building is connected to towers that rise up. a few other people and myself are playing a shooting game with people on the ground. I try to get a big fat woman but cannot hit anything because the sight on my gun is terrible. When i finally hit her the bullets bounce off and she is no out. The scene changes and i am at walmart shopping for a new gun. The only nice looking pistols are BB guns and will not work for the game. There are others that are much too large and shoot big bullets. The only one that will work looks like three different colored balls. (kind of snow man shaped with a handle) Next i am in my basement testing out the new gun on a dart board. I find out that it shoots darts. I go to look at the darts and realize that they drop some strange cereal with dried fruit when they hit. I wake up just after taking a bite of a dried orange slice with peel and all.

My husband picks me up at work. He has our suitcases in the car and we are on our way to the airport. He asks me if I have the tickets. "Why would I have the tickets? You came from the house with the suitcases while I was at work? The tickets are at home." He responds that it is my job to have the tickets.

Dreams from January 22, 2010:

I was an astronaut. I was at a grocery store parking lot and I found out I was going into space, so random people kept picking me up and running around the parking lot with me. Then I went into space with four other astronauts and one actor for some reason. We got to a space station and found blueberry muffins and blueberry Kool-Aid in the fridge which told us there must have been some Russian spies around. Then one guy floated out into space, but we reeled him back in with a fishing pole. They made a documentary about our trip and now it plays all the time on Channel 3. Also, I was left handed.

My husband and I are visiting an older couple who I believe to be my in-laws (but they are not). The couple is having an argument. The husband accuses the wife of spending too much time with household chores and not enough with him. She responds that she has her hands full taking care of him and his stupid finger.

It was my birthday. I was at a casino with a bunch of family and friends. I badly wanted to enjoy my birthday with drinking, gambling, and good company, but some family members weren't into gambling and only wanted to "see the sights." Some friends were angry with other friends, and dramatic situations continued to pile up. One friend was impossible to find because they were off playing poker in some casino by themselves. Eventually I snapped and just went to one of the virtual black-jack games and bet a few hundred dollars. I lost it all.

Dreams from January 21, 2010:

I'm at a wedding reception. A very pretty red-haired girl starts flirting with me. She takes me to a magical closet on the far side of the room. She takes me inside, closes the door, and takes off her clothes. She then runs out of the closet and, magically, becomes invisible. She urges me to do the same and to then go find her- like hide-and-seek. I strip naked, and open the closet door, only to find that it only half worked on me- I'm only half invisible. Suddenly, people throughout the reception start screaming that female guests are vanishing from the reception. I put my clothes back on and come out of the closet to search for the now invisible red-haired girl. I wander around the building searching in rooms. I come across a room filled with pirates, who are tying up and mistreating all of the missing reception girls. So, I grab a nearby coat-hanger, notice one of the pirates is Johnny Depp, and beat them all up saving the missing wedding guests, and my invisible red-haired girl.

I was with my family on a vacation in Italy. I was taking photographs of what I thought was ancient rubble, but I was then told that it used to be the Leaning Tower of Pisa until it fell down, only moments ago. Then my family turned into a group of friends, or maybe a class field trip. We went to a restaurant, but were not seated together – we were spread out at different tables and all sitting with strangers. Then I remembered that we were Delta Force and were supposed to be preparing for an important mission. Just then a bomb went off downtown – I think at the Coliseum. I and the rest of Delta Force got up and ran towards the explosion, and I woke up.

Dreams from January 20, 2010:

I knew the cast of Seinfeld. I stole two Cokes from a cop. Then this guy thought he was going to jail so he gave me all of his money. I spent it all on junk food. Then he found out he wasn’t going to jail and so I laughed because now he was broke!

I was at Denny’s with a friend, but they would not seat us until we first went to the museum in their basement. The museum was enormous, the size of several airplane hangars. At one exhibit, we were trapped under a parachute. The employees were very pushy about wanting us to donate to their blood drive, but we didn’t do it. After taking an Escher-like series of escalators, we ended up back at the restaurant, though it was now very upscale. We had to leave before we ate though, because a mudslide was coming. We packed a van full of high tech equipment and drove into a river. The end!

Dreams from January 19, 2010:

I was back in elementary school with all the same people, but we were 21. The school flooded and we had to swim out to evacuate. Everyone got on buses to go home. But I went back and the teachers were having a buffet of chili, so I grabbed a bowl and indulged.

I am at the ocean with my son and we are watching the huge waves which, interestingly enough, roll from side to side rather than toward the shore. We have heard that these waves are healing waves and we know that we have to find a way to go under them -- with the water above our heads and us still standing -- in order to receive the healing powers. We are excited and wary at the same time.

I am standing outside in an area near my house. It is winter and everything is covered in snow. A girl i know from college suddenly walks up holding a blue and purple skate board deck. She says hello and goes over to a hill just to my left. She uses the deck like a snow board to go down the hill. When she returns we are inside a mall and the hill has turned to escalators. Her ex-boyfriend is chasing her. He is saying the deck was his and wants payment. I try to calm him down but he gets more angry and aggressive. I end up fighting him but neither of us can swing our arms fast enough to hurt each other. We stop fighting but he is still angry. We are in a department store and he steals an entire rack of womens underwear. Then i woke up.

Dreams from January 18, 2010:

I was at a party with some friends, but I got sick. I rewound time, but got sick again, so we left on a school bus that burned CDs for us. We ended up at a beach with matching swim trunks and towels. We were diving into the ocean, and in doing so I fractured my arm. At the hospital I got a cast, and the doctor gave me his pen, which was of some significance. On the way out, I passed some business women who took the stairs. I got on the elevator with four other people. We were on the fourth floor, going to the first floor. As the doors closed, the elevator operator warned us that if the elevator didn't make stops at each floor, the power would be cut, and we would hit the ground at 35mph. We went into a free fall, and I woke up.

I am sitting at the kitchen table with my husband, eating breakfast. Outside of the large bay window, I spot a dead puppy in the driveway. My sadness is diverted by the sudden and rapid growth of a tree immediately outside the window. On one branch, on one stem, high up on the tree, grows a goldfish. Then the puppy springs back to life and eats the goldfish. I am overwhelmed by the sense that there is meaning to be had here, but I do not understand.

I am following around a small Asian boy who is beating up bad guys with incredible karate moves. suddenly he gets a message from his watch phone. He hangs up and rockets upward with a jet on his back somehow. I am still following and really hoping it is because i have a sweet rocket too. We are now in a fighter ship in space surrounded by three massive battle stations. I watch the automatic laser turrets out the window blow fighters around us to pieces so fast that we overload the ships targeting computer. The Asian boy fires some missile at the battle stations that creates a black hole destroying them all. As we are going back to tell a commander about the new black hole everyone in the command room stops and i realize i am in a movie and the director just called cut.
