August 26, 2010, morning

This dream was only about an hour, 2 hours tops because Matt woke me up when he left (which was probably around 7-7:30). I woke up at 8:22.

Hard to pinpoint where it all started, as I believe the fugitive, serial killer, and zombie children thing was in the previous dream.
I remember going into work, which was in a rather large building. There were 3 stories to it and Children's was on the ground level, or 2nd floor. The basement was where mom worked, but I'm not sure what section it was because the upstairs was the adult's area. I walked down the stairs to the desk and looked at the schedule they had hanging by the desk. I was trying to figure out if they needed help. A coworker said they did need help and I saw that someone from Children's was scheduled, but it didn't say who so I stuck around. The desk and the decor were that of Children's, btw. There were many children running around and the Regional Manager was there trying to figure out some paperwork. I was a little worried she wouldn't want me there because I was working with my mom, but no one noticed.
My dad showed up, but he was acting a little odd... maybe drunk? He said he loved me, gave me a hug, and asked where mom was, so I pointed.
The music through out the dream was all classical style, but I don't think it's been written. It's the music of my dreams.
For some reason my mind decided to throw a couple of weird coworkers in there and I had to keep yelling at them for doing VERY inappropriate things. It was so busy in there I was getting very frustrated, so I took mom and we went on a break together. We went upstairs, but upstairs ended up being on a street. There was a stone stairway with a cliff on the right side, and a river on the left. At the top, there was a stone bridge on the left and I went and stood on it, staring down at the river. On the other side of the bridge (still left) was a metrolink track. While standing on the bridge looking out, there was a line of trees and some industrial power lines. Mom was talking to some people but I wasn't paying attention because the power lines in front of me started wobbling and moving, looking as if they were made of rubber. I realized it was the new transport for hobos and I started griping about it at mom. "This is such a stupid idea! If they keep this up, because it's like an earthquake. It's going to tear up the bridge!" When the second transport to my right started up, I looked over there and saw the road stretching and pulling. The bridge started rocking and bucking, and I got severe vertigo. I saw cracks appearing in the road and I struggled to get off the bridge. Mom and I went back down the stairs, hurrying to get back to work. On the way, I looked to my right and saw a strange little white star-shaped creature on a rock. It needed to be put back in the water, but when I got near it, something jumped out of the water and stood near it threateningly, so I backed off and continued back to work. Mom kept getting in the water but I was on the rocks so I was fine. There were some caves and I ended up heading the wrong way and had to jump over some slippery rocks. The cave was pretty, and was in the bottom of a huge hotel. We had to run up some rocks that turned into stairs as the rock was transformed into a 5 star hotel. The theme was red and gold, real classy. We ran up more flights of stairs in the back of the hotel and at the top of one flight was a samurai looking Yoda, holding a black lab. As I passed him, he turned into a black dog and bit my hand, but since it was a dream, I dropped a fence on his head and ran off. I felt like I was running out of time, like I was racing the clock. I made it to the top of the hotel and found the middle stairs, huge huge huge cavernous room. The stairs were very wide, with a double banister in the middle. There were people everywhere. I bolted down the stairs like I was the Flash. I was practically flying. I had lost track of my mom and was trying to find her. I made it to a banister over looking the massive cavern, with stairs on either side. I stared down and overheard someone asking about a breed of dog. Someone mentioned something about 10% infertility, and the dude misheard and said, "Oh yeah! In Philly, I was born there!"
Then I woke up. And then the phone rang asking about our dog... DX

A Dream I had when I was about 4

It was nearing sunset as I was dragging the lifeless body of a young girl through the forest. She was wearing a formerly white nightdress, now stained with blood and dirt. Her blond hair a tangled mess of pine needles and leaves, marking a trail of where she'd been.
I found a building in the forest where there was a public restroom. As I walked in, there was a sink directly to my left with a small mirror above it. I washed my hands and face, feeling calm and refreshed, and then looked up into the mirror. Expecting to see my own face, I was shocked and filled with fear as I saw her face staring back at me, with a cold expressionless look.

(and if anyone can tell me what a 4 yr old was doing having a dream like that, that would be awesome to know...)

Testing out this new way of posting blogs... By phone!

Thursday to Friday, what the crap?

Dreamt that Matt and I went to Canada like we're planning for our honeymoon, but it was snowing like crazy and we had to take shelter in a small house nearby. We could tell that they had just added a new room onto the house; it was painted a light blue and there were pictures all over the walls... really cool paintings and such... but the paint job wasn't the best as I could still see bits of the plywood. Funny thing, the house belonged to Kate Hewlett and David Hewlett, her brother, was staying with her. Rather big fan of both of them, from Stargate Atlantis mostly.
Anyway, they let us stay and I happily decided to go to sleep. Matt decided he was going to sit up and talk to people, play video games, etc. The house kinda changed on me while I slept, because I woke myself up (literally, there was another me standing there talking to me... o_O) and was trying to get myself to do stuff. David Hewlett thought it was funny that I was following him on Twitter and was able to get his updates via cell phone, so whenever he would update, my phone would buzz. When I found out it was only midnight, I got mad at myself and said I was going back to sleep. (weird part is that it felt like I was going to sleep in a strange house, you know that feeling?)
Later on in the morning, I was trying to get dressed and people kept coming in and bugging me. Heck, my mom and dad came and brought my brother! I was rather annoyed. I managed to get dressed in a shirt that was too small and some black pants XP
We ended up at a pier, which this is rather hard to describe... er... Well, there was a river and this pier had all sorts of shops on it, like a mall, and it ran parallel to the mainland. Ships would go through to drop off their stuff, happy times. It was really dark at this time and it got really confusing. There were a lot of people involved, so it got hard to keep track of everyone. OH! Oh dude, I remember how i got there!
Ok, so I drove from the Hewlett home and ended up in Fontana. I found an orange tabby cat with darker stripes, and he needed me to talk to his owner over the phone. Basically he dragged me over and then he dialed and had me speak via speakerphone. He was a military cat ^.^ And it was rather weird, everything felt so insanely real! Her voice was foreign to me... But anyway, I agreed to drive him back to his home. Mom met me down there, and we got on the freeway, but for some reason we headed to the zoo/museum. We passed a field where the Hyenas were, and they were tracking an animal to kill... Well, we got all turned around and Matt's colleague had his family with him, they were headed to the zoo too, I dunno why they were there... weird.
But somehow we ended up at the pier, like I was saying. The shop buildings were two stories, made out of old wood, like a western town style. There were a few foreigners around, immigrants coming in on boats, one family came in in a VW van/truck... heh... (yes, they were floating... as in it was a boat...) And that's where it gets confusing, too many people. There was something about a dad being upset over people being mean to his son, something about someone going missing and then us trying to find said person and a superhero fight... I was someone with powers, dunno if I was a hero ^.^ And WHY was I wearing Pink? >.< We had to fight the mad dad's son.
Then the really disturbing part.. You'll have to take my word on this, but I know I was a guy at this point. I came to the end of the pier, we were watching the sky for some reason, and there was a young girl, dark reddish skin, black hair, curled up near her mother. She liked me, I could tell. Now I just wish I had woken up there, but no. My mind decided it liked the girl back. So we started kissing (blech!!). And as we lay next to each other, she falling asleep, I suddenly though, "What the crap! I'm still in love with Matt!!" and the girl side of me started fighting the guy side and I started contemplating how that would work... Ended up thinking how I could marry her because I was a guy, but I could still marry Matt because I'm a girl...

I am so weirded out by this dream you have no idea. The worst part is that it's been about 14 hours and I can still vividly recall all the feelings, and how real it all felt... It certainly got placed in the wrong memory section, because I had to spend an hour convincing myself that it was not real. No, I hadn't met David Hewlett, and No, I had not just kissed a girl. XP

I hate my mind

October 2-3, 2008

I wish I could say I had the strangest dream last night, but I've had some pretty strange ones.
I was at work in my dream, sitting behind the desk on the left side where I normally sit. We were trying to close the library. It was after 8 already and there were teens all over the library just being hyper and not leaving. Weird things kept happening, such as this lady I had never met ended up with a paper that had my name written all over it and then her cell phone just started calling mine. Turns out there was an evil spirit in the library. One of our young volunteers was nearby and I handed her a small greenish rock. It was nearing 9 and the computers wouldn't shut off... It was halloween. It went into something strange about Mr. Magorium's Magic Emporium mixed with Charlie and the Chocolate factory and they were fighting this little paper ghost that had an uzi and they went flying in a hot air balloon. I woke up after this and fell back asleep and dreamt I was sitting behind the desk again and it was about 8:45. A bunch of mothers came to the front door and one of them was looking for that rock I gave my volunteer for some reason...

I'm not certain if I woke up or just left the library, but the scenery changed a bit and we were outside. My brother was walking with me and his kid and I just started running a bit and then I started floating/flying. It was exhilerating! I guess we were visiting my grandparents in Hawaii and I ended up sleeping somewhere random. No one woke me up for church, so I made it in time for the closing song.

Nightmare Definition

The difference between a nightmare and a night terror is that you never remember a night terror and they usually cause you to be destructive, such as clawing at your arms without ever remembering, or destroying the bed.

Nightmares just scare you and you remember it.

Common Dreams

These dreams aren't reoccuring dreams, but they have the same kind of elements and I only remember a little bit of each. (these are dreams I had when I was between the ages of 7 and 16, or there abouts)
________________________________________

1. I was with some co-workers, or to the best of my recollection they were. We were working in a spaghetti factory and there was a jungle gym type machine that ground everything together. It was located outside as it was very large. Imagine those play-areas they have at fast food joints, with the hamster tunnels. It was like that, only solid red and opaque.
There were bushes all around outside and the atmosphere was a strange coloring. It was very deserty around dusk kind of feel.

What I remember about the dream was that dinosaurs, or aliens?, had gotten out and so we were running around, trying to hide. The terrible fear was building up and choking me, making it difficult to do much, the panic was overwhelming my judgement. It only made it worse hearing my friends get caught and destroyed.
Some of them were climbing the machine and fell in... can you imagine the horrible screams and sounds of the bones crunching??? *shudder!*
I don't remember much about the rest of the dream. That was bad enough.
________________________________________
There are actually a myriad of dreams I can think of that are very much like that. Aliens or Dinosaurs chasing us all, being able to hear the deaths of my friends, etc. So I won't bore you with those ones...

This dream was a spy dream. I had about four spy-friends with me and we were on a mission. We got caught. Or at least some of us did, as I managed to escape. I watched what they did to my comrades. They led them one at a time up this ramp into a storage container (like what semis are towing). I heard the first guy go in, he was always a joker... was trying to initiate a conversation with his captors... then said something like, "wait, what's that? No, you must be mstaken..." and I heard the thunk of floor dropping and the man's weight against the rope around his neck.... They did the same thing to a lady spy as well... she didn't speak because she knew what was going on. she screamed.

________________________________________

dreams that haunt me... well, there was this one that freaked me out... I was about 9 or 10. This man in my dream who was about 30 years older than me (I remember being freaked by that) proposed to me. The ring was very beautiful and I wouldn't mind having it, but it still freaked me out and I couldn't say yes or no. Well, it bugged me in the dream, then I got distracted...
There was this young couple there visiting a cool looking landmark which happened to be a giant rock standing up. The young man was taking pictures of the underside of the rock when it fell on him, trapping him in a hole, slowly crushing him. I heard his screams and cries for help long after I had the dream... He died.
________________________________________

I will post more when I have more brain power but at the moment it's nearing time to close the library so I'm gonna jet.

Earliest Dream

I can't believe I never posted this dream! I think I had it when I was 4 or 5.

Starts out with me and my asian neighbor Eric (I believe) planning on playing a practical joke on my mom who is planning a nice tea party with her friends. Our plan is to put a whoopi cushion on a chair. woot.
Well, this witch catches us and chews us out for wanting to ruin mom's tea party. So to punish us, she puts a curse on the whoopi cushion so that it'll grow and grow until it pops, killing everyone. So I ran around trying to get to mom.
(Since I had this dream about 4 times, some things were different in each one, I'm putting all the facts I know together to make one dream.)

Well, when the witch caught us, we were standing next to a chain link fence looking at a nice victorian style house where mom was going to have her party. The whoopi cushion had gotten stuck in the fence and we couldn't get it out or stop it, so we ran down the length of fence trying to find a way in.
We ended up running through cobblestone streets like you'd find in England and I remember climbing up a ladder. In one of the dreams I fell off and started flying for a little bit. The feeling of being weightless is intense!!! But when we reached the top of the ladder, my sort of friend Lacy was there and her dad was abusive. I remember dodging wrenches and hammers as I ran through their house.
There was a lot more, but I can't remember it.
Basically the dream ends with me pouding on a window crying, looking at mom who can't hear me and the whoopi cushion is about to blow.

Dream, December 27th, 2003

Dream, December 27th, 2003, started at about 4? A.M.

I was driving a car to a hotel, I believe it was. There was some sort of school, or club there also. I drove into the hotel (my car was very tiny) and up some stairs to the lobby. It was very nice inside, very clean and expensive. I got checked in and then went to find the elevator, because I couldn’t drive my car up any more stairs.
Well, someone told me that the elevators were by the girls restroom, so I went to the restroom. It was a very interesting place, seeing how it didn’t fit with the rest of the place. The floor was cold concrete, the walls were bare and nasty and the stalls were worse than the ones in the school music building.
I walked through the bathroom in hopes of finding an elevator, but at the other end of the girl’s room was the guy’s room. I found a little door and walked through it to avoid the guys. On the other side was a swimming pool. Well, it was sort of a swimming pool. It was a large rectangle shaped concrete pool that was very deep. There were a lot of people swimming (none of them was over 28). Someone dropped something and was afraid to dive down to the bottom, so I dove in and grabbed it. It was a small crystal ball. When I got back up there were a couple people around, none of them being the one who dropped the ball. No one there believed that I had dived to the bottom. Somehow I caused trouble, so they took me to the headmistress, the leader of their group.
She was a nice old lady, though I can’t quite remember what she looked like. I kneeled in front of her. She asked the other people, “What makes you think she is not one of us?” None of them had an answer, so she dismissed them. Silently she made me a part of the group, but she announced to the others later that I was going to be an observer, but I would train with them.
This group was interesting. It’s like the X-men, because they were being trained to use their mind powers to defeat a certain enemy. Apparently because I reached the bottom of the pool, the headmistress believed I had power. I didn’t feel like I had any power.

I don’t remember much of the first battle, but I do remember that the enemy told me I was too weak and that’s why he let me live.

There was a lot that I don’t remember, but the next part I do remember we were all getting ready for battle.
The call had been set that our enemy was near, so we had to go and meet him. We ran out to our cars (and trucks) and people were jumping in and driving off. I was watching this one car that seemed odd to me. There was someone in it and they were wearing a helmet. On the helmet was a number, 20 something. When most people were gone, I watched the numbers change to 29, the number of our enemy. I was scared and yet I wasn’t. Then he drove off to the side of the building. One of my friends from the group was in a position that if she walked forward a couple steps, the enemy could run her over and that is exactly what he wanted to do. Somehow we managed to get away.
We met the others on these steps. One of them (it was actually James) was using his power to have fun. His main power was the ability to pass solid things through solid things. He was sticking things under his skin when we got there, and then he was swallowing them and popping them through his chest. While he was doing this, a couple of people from the group noticed our enemy had come and started fighting him.
You’d think they’d be fighting him with their powers, but they were sword fighting with rapiers and they were all wearing Renaissance outfits. James distracted me from the fight and started talking about being able to throw off a mind power, if someone tried to control you. To make his point more clear, he used a bit of mind power on me. It felt like red hot ants were crawling all over me. It took me a while, but I threw it off. He tried again, but I blocked. Then we started watching the battle. Everyone but James and me had gone into the battle. I grabbed my sword and I was like, “Hey, come on, let’s go help them!” but James just shrugged. I looked at the battle. There was a Latino who looked like Marco trying to protect a little boy, who was the heir to the crown, but the enemy stabbed the little boy and killed him.
It was like in slow motion. I saw the point of the sword go into his body and there was a spurt of blood and a gasp. Soon all but one of my friends was gone. It looked like Ray, with long hair and a mustache. He was next in line for the crown after the heir was killed. He was putting up a great fight and while they fought, they talked.
Something like: “You just want the crown for yourself, don’t you?” The enemy said.
“It’s better than letting you have it!”
“It’s already been made with a certain image, though.”
“Those things change. What if the queen appears?”
I was wandering around the place they were fighting, looking at the grass. I came across Tommy (the cat) and started petting him. When they mentioned the queen, I got a funny idea into my head. If the headmistress thought I had power, I would find that power. As I was walking away, I learned that Daniel was laying wounded somewhere.
The next thing I know, I’m watching someone (and yet it was also me) all dressed up like the queen. She was wearing a very fancy gown of cream and white and her headpiece was also. There were diamonds and pearls, too. He hair was a beautiful reddish orange (not too vibrant, but a nice soft color) and her face was similar to Julia Roberts’ , but her lips were small and she was plainer looking, with beautiful eyes.
As I watched her walk along the balcony, she said, “I will save you, Daniella Josefina (and a bunch more names I can’t remember, but they weren’t the normal names).” I hoped that one of the queen’s powers was healing.
She stopped partway to the stairs and looked down. She was planning on floating down, I think. She said, “Why is Daniella smitten on my bed?” I think she meant something else, because he was in the deepest despair, horrible depression, because Mandi died. He had lost the will to live.
I think the queen was planning on using Daniel to be her hero, to save the new heir, etc. I know I felt so much pity, so much pain, for Daniel, for he Loved Mandi. Unfortunately I did not get to find out what happened, due to the fact that I woke up. 

Movie plots and aliens

"I think it starts with me and this other girl and a guy running through a slightly dark city (there were a lot of lights, looked like the sun was coming up, only in grays). We were running away from some people who had guns and then we ran to a dead end. There was a fence and a hole in the ground that dropped at least 50 feet. The girl jumped over the fence and fell into the hole (she slipped). But we heard her voice call to us saying it wasn't as bad as it seemed. The guy jumped down and I ran around the dead end trying to find another exit. I couldn't so I jumped down the hole. I fell for a long ways and then I fell into some goop (it felt like I just slipped in, instead of falling). It was more like water and I think it was slightly green, but I found I could breathe in it and it felt like there was hardly any gravity. So we were swimming under the city. There was a family, though I think we just talked to the sisters (there were a lot). They were all tall and had dark hair. There's a slight gap and then I remember there was some crazy guy (small and skinny) who was capturing us and I don't know how to explain what happened, but in my dream they were calling it burning with acid. It made them horribly deformed and they had what looked like dark green and black scabs all over them! Anyway, I guess I was in 'ghost' mode, because I was looking at me who was another girl and not me...but it was still me. The crazy scientist guy was pouring some stuff on her and she was glowing. He exclaimed that she was defying him (counter acting with a spell or something). She flashed back and forth between looking normal and looking scabbed. She said that she didn't want to become deformed. Well, the process was finally done and she had changed all right. She…um, I will try hard to describe this. Her arm had shriveled up and was kind of a funny looking thing a little lower than the normal arm. Her skin was normal though. Her head looked...well, She was distorted. It was freaky and she freaked out before the scientist could do anything, I became her and I ran away. I went through the sewers and I think that when I got to the surface, I coughed up a lot of yuck. I'm not sure when this happens, so I'll talk about it now. This is what connects this dream with the other dream. Tenneil and I were sitting in a dark room and we were watching a movie. We had gotten to an odd part where a crazy guy who looked a little like the guy who became the green goblin was wearing a piece of cloth around his waist. Tenneil was trying to find the fast forward button because she said that this part was bad, but it took her a while and during that time, the weird guy called a...well, at first it was a lioness, I think, and then it grew a mane...you wouldn't want to know what the guy was planning on doing to it. Well, (everything was lighted by a pale blue light and almost everything except the guy and the lion were blue) he led the lion a little ways back and then lion pushed him down. The guy had a frightened look on his face and then Tenneil found the fast forward button. But she only fast forwarded a little and then I saw that the Lion was um...merging with the guy, chest to chest, no blood. The guy looked even worse. And then Tenneil hit the fast forward button again and I saw a far away view of the guy and the lion, only a curtain was blocking them, so I only saw their shadows and the guy was screaming.… It was like the lion was a demon and it was eating the guy. There is still a lot of the dream left.
I left the room and there's a small gap, but somehow I ended up at a restaurant with some guys (like the IRS or FBI type) who had been chasing me. They wanted me to do something for them and I was agreeing. Then a ship (like a spaceship) came flying low. I recognized the creatures inside (a mother and son) and somehow I had hurt the son's feelings so I asked the men in suits if I could go explain to him a little and so they let me go. I forget their names, but I knew them in the dream. These creatures were weird looking, distorted... but while I was trying to talk to the son, the mother started the ship up again and we took off. I thought to myself, "Oh well, we'll work the deal out late" thinking of the guys in suits who were watching us. The trip was kinda fun and I saw a few things, but I was trying to tell the mother that I needed to get back to the guys in suits. There was a bit more and I know dredd had appeared in the dream, but I forget
Weird dream, isn't it?
Now just keep that dream in mind and here is the second one
Tenneil and I were in the dark room watching a movie (it was the same scene as before)
Anyway, this movie had Harrison Ford in it and he was a fugitive (note the running away theme is still going on) and he had to find some professor's daughter who was apparently collaborating with the enemy. She was dressed in a 1910's dress and when Harrison Ford met her, they were at a train station and then I merged with the movie, and became a character. I followed the other two around. We went to the lady's house and I found out she was planning on turning us in to the enemy, but she was getting a weak spot for Harrison Ford. So she ran away with us. I think the enemy at this point were Mexican soldiers from the 1800's and they kept shooting at us. So we ran through a wheat field (it was Very tall) and we lost the enemy, but then my two companions started talking about the script they were supposed to follow.
"Ok, so were are we supposed to go next?"
"To that old house, but they know that and they'll beat us there." Then I said, "Well, do we have to go there? I mean, is it crucial to the plot?" It wasn't. So I suggested that we go ahead to another stop we were supposed to make. During this time I learned a little about the lady. Her father had died protecting some secret and she was trying to protect it, but she had run into the enemy thinking they were on her father's side. Thankfully she didn't tell them much.
So we went on to the next point which was in China town. Now the enemy chasing us was a bunch of Chinese...they were kids throwing bombs at us…the lady got hit and died. Harrison Ford said that we had to keep going. We actually didn't really need the lady, but it was sad…(this is how she died: We were running through the streets and then we had to jump off the side of the street because some kid threw a bomb at us. When we thought that it was clear, the lady stepped back into the road and got bombed). I looked over my shoulder and saw two Chinese guys talking and looking a little scared. Then I followed Harrison Ford through this little maze of tunnels, being chased. There was an exit at each end of the tunnel, and all the tunnels were lined together so we had to go zigzag. We got out of one end and we were about to go in through another, when we saw a laughing kid run off through it. We ran through and got to that end and started through another tunnel when we realized that the kid had vanished. Then I heard a weird noise like a whine, getting louder and louder and then I ran out of the tunnel and thank God I did! A bomb fell on it and blew it all up. After the tunnels had been obliterated, I saw the house we were supposed to go to and then I woke up."

Camping

I had this dream a long time ago, maybe about 4, 5 years.

"We were on some camp. There were quite a few people who I knew the names of. Of course, only two were people I had never seen in reality. Mom, Dad, Jacob, and a few others from reality were there. The other two: a small blond boy by the name of Tobias and a VERY Large guy (he was a little older than Tobias who was around 13 I think). This guy was about 6’5” and over weight. His name was Matt, but people called him Ugh behind his back. He was very stupid, didn’t talk right. He didn’t use complete sentences or even words correctly. And he was mean. Had a Very bad temper and loved to pick on Tobias. Tobias loved me. I had a deep affection towards him also. I think Ugh (Matt?) liked me too. Considering he would stop picking on Tobias if I told him too. Tobias was a very quiet person and small, the exact opposite of Ugh. Well, here’s what happened. Like I said, we were on some sort of camp. Neighboring the camp was a farm that Tobias had been to before. They had horses there, but next to the fence there were chickens. They were very beautiful and the farmer liked to brag about them. On the other side of the camp was a lake where Mom and Dad had their boat. It was cloudy out, looked like it was going to rain, so they brought the boat in. The parked it, though, in an illegal spot. Well, this cop was trying to figure out if it was illegal or not. The camp had a building and in the building were two, three major rooms. The first room was like a living room. They were having a remote control motorcycle race. I won. In the next room it was the kitchen. They were cooking a lot of food, like turkey and corn and potatoes. Next to the kitchen was the dining room, though most people ate in the living room. Tobias slept a lot in the dining room. I looked out the window of the living room and saw someone on a motorcycle coming towards the house. I knew it was Ugh and it filled me with fear. I crept into the dining room and hid there. After a while, I went into the living room to find Ugh sitting on Tobias. I said to myself, “I know a Matt, but he is nicer than this Ugh.” I told Ugh, “Get off of Tobias. Tobias is mine.” Ugh said something and I said, “Get off of Tobias. He is Mine, not yours.” He said, “Not Matt’s?” I said, “He’s mine.” He got off and I picked up the unconscious Tobias and then asked Ugh/Matt, “Matt want something?” “Matt want corn. Get Matt corn?” I nodded and went into the kitchen where I deposited Tobias to sleep on a couch. I looked all over the place but found no corn. Ugh just sat on the couch in the living room staring blankly. I went outside where they had lit torches for the night. I merged in with the crowd to see what was happening. Some Red coats on white horses were demanding a sacrifice. They wanted the boy named Tobias. I told the men that I knew where he was and rushed inside and grabbed Tobias and hid him in an upstairs room. I then went back down the stairs and told the men that I couldn’t find him. Things got confusing then. Horses don’t exactly fit in a small house. I forget what happened next, because I woke up."

Dream Road

Have you ever heard of a Dream Road? Tad Williams wrote about one in his trilogy, the Dragon Bone Chair. I had a dream about it, only it was different from his. At the time, I was quite sick, with a temp. of 103. It was more like a hallucination.

"Last night I had a dream about the Dream Road. The Dream Road, in my dream, was not really a road. I found myself in this white place. It was like a hallway; there were no walls, but I sort of felt walls. There were doors, by looks suspended above ground, but there was ground. You just couldn't tell the difference, everything was white, no lines besides the doors. But indeed there was a floor, for I walked upon it. The doors were white, and they had frames and they had shadows, just barely outlining each door.
You know that sound, in a school or hospital, as you walk down the hall, your shoes go click...click...click? Well, that's how it sounded when I walked.

The Dream Road: The dream

All reality faded and became white. There was no sound, just white. There wasn’t even that suffocating silent feeling. There just was no real sound. I started walking. There were no walls, but it felt like there were. I saw doors, plain white. I walked past a few, each step clicking on the white surface. I stopped at one and opened it. If it had not been for the stone table, and the two bodies, it would have been like the door went nowhere, but there were the people.
One of them was laying on the table, his head at my left. Standing near his head was another person. The one standing turned and faced me. It was a Bryan. I saw who was on the table; it was Mark. It was almost like being at a funeral. Mark's hands were crossed over his chest as if he was dead, but he was only asleep. Bryan's whole attitude, the way he was standing, was very solemn. He had a sad look in his eyes.
“Very few can walk this Road.” He said.
“I want to speak to Mark.” I said. It felt slightly urgent that I speak to Mark.
“He cannot walk this Road. Most cannot walk the Dream Road and he is one. There are others who believe they can walk it. They brag about it, but they wander lost, in ignorance, upon this road.” He walked towards me. “Come, I'll show you.”
We walked back through the door. Instead of being back in the white hallway, we entered another room. This one also had the stone table, but the body was barely visible. It was my best friend. She could not walk the Road, but she thought she could.
“You can do many things on this Road.” Bryan's voice was quiet. He didn't really say it, and yet in a way not verbal he did, but I felt like he was telling me about some people who use it to their advantage, how evil their hearts were. It takes great responsibility to walk the Road and there are those who protect the Road from those who would use it. He told me about how great a temptation it is and how dangerous the Road is.
About this time, I was called from the Road back into Reality, the white forming shapes and colors. It had only been about ½ an hour.
