Snow and a Stomach Ache

Don't know if the picture's working. This seem a bit weird today so if you get a bunch of code - my apologies. Molly - can you take a look next time you're over to see if you can help me out?


Anyway, Last night's dream had snow in it. There was a vacation and I had to finish something. Boring, I know, but it's slipped from my consciousness faster than I thought it was going to. It probably had to do with money, with all my worries and frustrations right now. It took me more time than usual just to fall asleep last night. I swear I'm getting an ulcer even thinking about it now.

Juno

[Picture]

So last night I watched Juno - good movie.

The movie continued in my dream and Juno continued her relationship with Vanessa and the baby. They hung out every once in a while and stayed up-to-date with each other.

Then I was in a driveway and I was checking out someone's mail. They had two entire boxes filled with stuff. It wasn't my house or my stuff but I was still checking it out. A little toy car rolled down the driveway and across the street and landed on the other side. There was a man in a santa clause suit.

My brother's dream was that my mom was Rizzo and Step-Dad was an extra in the Broadway version of Grease.

Diving Boards

[INSERT PICTURE HERE]

There was a diving contest. It was doubles dives. The first couple to go kept going towards the board and walking back and going toward the board and walking back. It didn't matter how the dive looked, as long as you made it in the baby pool. When it was our turn I didn't want to psych myself out and so I pushed Dave off and we just dove and did ok. I didn't want to do the back and forth.

Then there was a high board diving contest. There were a few going on that I was watching. There was one contest where the girls were jumping on one board to a lower board and then going into the pool, but that was so they didn't jump from as high. The real contest was between two people and they had to jump straight from the diving board into the pool without using the second board. One guy in the contest wanted me to be his surrogate and jump for him but the girl in the contest was trying to sabotage everything and didn't want me to jump, even though it was within the rules of the contest to use a surrogate.

Party and a War

Sorry, no picture today. I'm on someone else's computer and don't want to deal with it. Here we go:

I was getting ready for the party. I was trying to tease my hair, which was a bleach blond, and it kept falling out in 1/4" pieces. It fell flat, I just couldn't tease my hair (Note: My brother's '80s prom party is tonight - I'm assuming this is a reference to that.) I was in a foreign city and there was a type of war going on. A relative of mine was there and I didn't want him to participate. They lost. There was a big field and the bad guys were coming up and I was trying to help our team by giving them directions, but it didn't work. They were laying all over these bunks in all sorts of contorted shapes, moaning and in agony. The leader said that he wished he were dead, to just do it now to put him out of his misery. Then I was in line to check out and I had to go over the loudspeaker and announce to not to drugs or narcotics, that they were bad for you because the cashier couldn't get herself to do it. When I was checking out it was for some gambling game I was playing. I had AAKKQQJ and they were giving me the results of how I did, but I couldn't understand them. Then I was with Karyn and we had to run some errands but to get everyone else to go away and watch the kids she said that we were going to go to a movie. We went into a souvenir shop and I was looking at those little personalized license plates, but they didn't have the names I was looking for and they were all white and boring. Then I was in a breakfast diner and I saw two people I knew, one of which I had known for a long time and the other whom I had met just recently. I was talking with them but the waitresses assumed we were going to end up sitting together and they set up a new table for 6 and I asked if it was imposing and she said it wasn't.

Lost It

I had a vivid dream last night. It was tumultous, or at least that's how I interpreted it to be when I woke up at 3 am, but this morning, with all of the hub bub of the day, it's gone into a black hole. Maybe something today will spark my memory and I'll edit this blog, but for now....bye bye.

Asleep / Awake

I have a sinus infection and yesterday I had Grover's Bad Awful Day. The only good that came out of it was, since I had left work early, I was able to get a cheaper medication to take care of my infection ($79 Avelox v. $4 Cipro). Well, it turns out that money has to now go to my speeding ticket. Well, I was in so much pain last night that I took some cough medicine to ease the pain in my throat. It was strange - I was laying there, body silent, but my brain felt like it was working overtime. I wasn't thinking of anything in particular, but my mind would just not shut off. At about 12:30 G woke up thinking that his ankles were being broken and with pain in his legs. A little Motrin did the trick, but what do you say to a little boy who is convinced that his heels are being broken except that you understand him and love him and that they aren't being broken - all the while knowing he really feels it even if it isn't happening - I gave him the validation he needed - to be heard.

A Wedding To Be

I was at my wedding shower. It was just hours before the wedding. My mom was there and she was handing out strange gifts to people. I was at a hotel and there were lots of doors and rooms to go to. The shower was very long and involved. After it was over I was walking around. I didn't want to get dressed yet. I saw some friends from Temple and most of the people there were children, school-age, not grown-ups. It felt more like a Bat Mitzvah then a wedding.

I was walking down a street and a rocket took off at a gas station. It went straight up through the air. It reminds me of an old dream I had that had travelling and a jet engine in it. The plane then came down and bounced head over tail down the street, which I was told was normal. Then there were three people, one on top of the other, walking in the street and they didn't see the hole that the jet left and they tripped. A policeman came to help get them out of the street before they were hit.

I went back to the hotel. It was just 1/2 hour before the wedding and I wasn't dressed yet and my hair and makeup wasn't done. I walked in the hotel and immediately went into a side room, which was a mistake, in hindsight, because I was lead through a maze of hallways and doors to basically come out right by where I had come into the hotel in the first place. I was trying not to see the guests because I only had a bra on top and wasn't ready, but I was looking for Dave.

Note: I tried looking for the dream where I was in a fast jet plane, but couldn't find it. Sorry.
