Bookstore Crush

had a great dream last night. I was working at a small, offbeat bookstore, and there was a guy there that I had a crush on. We were at that point in our relationship where we both knew we liked eachother, we were going to end up going out, and we just smiled at each other constantly, wanting to hang out together like a secret all the time. I woke up and I couldn’t tell if I was sad because I missed the feeling, or excited at the prospect of having that again someday. Off to bed with my audio book. I never got over being told stories at bedtime, I suppose.

Reindeer Dog

had another ridiculous dream last night. I think it must be the audio books. It was Christmas at my family’s house. I owned a dog that had an antler growing from his head, so he could easily pass for a deer. Our neighbors were into hunting and they wanted to shoot my dog/deer, even after I tried to convince them that it was a dog. We kept a stall in the garage and I spent time with my weird little pet there, bringing him hay (guess he was more of a deer afterall) and inspecting the small antler, afraid that at any moment, my neighbors would shoot him.

Audio books also alter my sleep pattern in a confusing way. I fell asleep around 11 last night, was woken up at 12:30 completely discombobulated, got out of bed to get ready for work, and then realized I could sleep for oh…. 6 and a half more hours. I think I like it.

Make way for ducklings

Another very interesting dream. I cant remember most of it now… but I DO remember that both my mother and I were pregnant at the same time.. with ducklings. We both had our ducklings (can’t remember if there were eggs involved or not). My mom had around 12, I had 1. If I could go back into the dream, I would tell my baby duck that it’s name is Beaker (like the muppets.. ducks have beaks.. get it?!).

Balloon Ride & Hospital Lockdown

Okay, I am one of those people that has weird dreams a lot. I don’t think much of them but this one was CRAZY. Admittedly, the details are getting fuzzier as the day progresses (yeah i KNOW its not even 10am) but I will do my best to piece it together.

So I believe the dream starts with me in a hot air balloon with my best friend, Scott. But this is not a REGULAR hot air balloon. The best way to describe it, I suppose, is to call it an express. It is understood in the dream that the idea behind this ride is to zip along at a lower elevation than a regular balloon ride and that you are trying to get somewhere. While in the balloon, I had this feeling of not being held up by anything, and when I looked above me, there was no balloon so apparently it was also an invisible express hot air balloon. Whatever. So the balloon was coming down quickly and looked like it was going to drop Scott and I into a very fast moving river. There were other people in the river riding the current. We ditched the balloon and rode the current to the beach. I decided to try it again before we left, and only then did I notice that the current could actually take you over a huge waterfall (to your death) if you missed the beach, so I made sure to be careful.

After I got out of the river, Scott and I had to catch a flight home (apparently I ended up in Minnesota). We got to the airport and there were not more flights that day, the last flight being at 7:30 and it is now 7:45 (*My dreams are pretty detailed in some aspects). We decide instead that we will drive home all night because we have to work that Monday. I don’t remember anything from the ride home.

Finally, we got home and I guess we worked in a hospital environment. The hospital was on lockdown though, because apparently someone was going around stabbing people. At some point, I got stabbed a couple times in the back, and then had a small cut on my stomach, but it was undecided whethere that was a stab wound. So we were walking around the hospital with this notion that at any time, we might see the knife man. I THINK I eventually saw him and I THINK he was in a wheel chair. Yes, it was an electric wheel chair and he was going very slow. (After the fact, this reminds me of old zombie movies where the zombies walk really slow and you feel as though if YOU were in the movie, you could get away) My final goal in the dream is to get to the first aid part of the hospital. I finally get there and it is filled with stab victims, but very little blood. A woman came up to me and counted my stab wounds, but it was still unclear to me whether the blood on my front was from getting stabbed or not.

WHAAAAAT???!!! I would like to think that I am very creative, and not just very crazy. Things to take from this dream:

1. Create Express hot air Balloon

2. I escape death a COUPLE times.

3. Zombies and knife weilding wheel chair killers are of little threat to ME.

ps.  One thing I love about dreams is how, in the dreams, you have these IDEAS of what is going on, things are just UNDERSTOOD to be a certain way. its like your concious knows you’d never make it through the dream if you were real life fact checking.

I wake up in a hospital. there is a pretense that I have been in some kind of accident, and I recieved emergency surgery. There is a sort of breathing apparatus in my mouth, but not over my nose. My boyfriend (whom I cannot recognize as someone in my waking life) is sitting to the right of my hospital bed. This is when the nurse comes in to tell me that while the surgery was successful, they accidently knocked out one of my teeth during the process. I am missing one of my upper front teeth. She has brought me a pair of veneers and hands them to me. they are two bunny like teeth, much too long for human teeth and a different color that those already in my mouth. I cautiously pop them in… and can’t close my mouth. I try to make a joke and ask why the nurse couldnt have knocked out the tooth i DONT like ( in real life, one of my bottom teeth is crooked) I open my mouth which I can see in a mirror to show her, and she looks at me surprised, and asks, “You wanted us to knock out a tooth?”  In my mind, I am thinking that i hope they can file the bunny tooth down to look like my real teeth.
