Dreams

So, let's talk dreams. I don't remember most of them, but I do remember one that I had the other night.

I was going to overnight camp, and we were having a swimming lesson. My fencing instructor was teaching the lesson (I don't like fencing, and intend to stop taking it as soon as my mom lets me), and he was telling us to not be at Splish-splash world or something. I think he meant to just swim the laps and not play around in the water. We start swimming laps again, and then a few moments later, out of nowhere appear a bunch of water toys everywhere and everyone is splashing and squirting and having a load of fun and my fencing instructor is nowhere to be seen.

Then I wake up, which is too bad, because it was actually fun. And I saw my fencing instructor in a bathing suit, which doesn't fit the image that he broadcasts at fencing because he's somewhat strict and we never get to talk (not that we have any time to, which is one of the reasons I don't like it).

So another person's dream I heard about once: they told me they were sleeping at overnight camp and they were having a dream about a clock, which they didn't really remember. Then they woke up, and thought they were still in the dream and got up to do something with a clock, then remembered "I'm at camp. I don't have a clock. Go back to bed."

Anybody else have an interesting dream to talk about?

My dad wrote a dream journal and is lucid dreaming and claiming that his book tells you exactly how to lucid dream when it doesn't and he can't decide whether it's fiction of non fiction because he wants to enter it in first novel contests and he self published it on Amazon and he's being totally rediculous and all this other stuff and it's annoying and things FRENCH THE LLAMA THAT'S A RUN ON SENTENCE.

Yesterday, I had a dream that I had fallen in the school's paper dumpster and broken my leg. This sounds odd, but I'm on the school's recycling team and sometimes you have to climb in the paper dumpster to tamp all the paper down and there is this one kid who keeps on falling and getting stuck. I guess I dreamed I was him?

And last night I had a dream invloving going to my friend's house. There was a greenbelt right by her backyard (well, there actually is one near her house, we're going to film part of a movie there.) and it was really, really, really, big and I was running in it. And later I had a dream involving a carnivorous fur coat. It was quite odd. 

 

Ooh, a carnivorous fur coat--one that eats the person wearing it! PETA would say that's a fitting punishment.

Admin- what's PETA?

Today's dream of the day simply went like this: My friend (whom I shall call JLM) who is supposed to email me a part of a movie we are making is taking her sweet time in real life. And then she emailed it me in the dream. Though, funnily enough, it was not a part of our movie, it was a part of a documentary on the Manhattan Project, which is something I am working on with Supi and Eriol.

Ruby, PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. They're all against stuff like dissecting frogs in science classes and killing animals to eat and for material to make trinkets. That's why Admin said they'd think a carnivorous fur coat was a fitting punishment - they'd be against killing the animal for it's fur to make the coat. Unless the fur was fake, and then it'd probably be a different story.

I'm a vegetarian, but not nessacarily becuase of PETA. I just don't like meat. Eating pig guts? Chicken innards? Ugh. Sounds gross.

I'm with PETA on the whole dissecting frogs and whatnot thing. So gross!

In an ethically perfect world, I wouldn't eat meat either (and I'm not one of those people who say, "but steaaaaaaaak" or "how do you survive without baaaaaacon?") but first of all my mom wouldn't let me or won't be a vegetarian and all this other stuff.  Blah.

As I've said before, I considered vegetarianism once before, but I for one, simply can't live without bacon. Heck, when my dad was a kid, he'd go around the table stealing bacon from people's plates! (true story, honest to goodness!) So, yeah, I guess bacon is in my blood. But I agree with you, JDD. I may eat meat, but CERTAINLY not any kind of gut or anything like that! Bleh! Now that is gross! Btw, does anybody know if PETA got after Top Gear for blowing up an eel? Random side thought.

I don't often remember my dreams but last night's dream was so odd that I remembered it. 

So, essentially, it was a party. With my friends. Except we were all really creepy. My friends were no longer fairly normal people but a zombie llama, a girl with a pickaxe (??), a werewolf, three vampires, and a creepy floating doll/puppe/thingy. But I wasn't creepy at all. So the doll thing (who is about one foot tall) pulls a scythe (which is about eight feet tall) out from behind its back (logic. My dreams have it.) and gives it to me and tells me I'm the Grim Reaper. Cool. And then we ate cake. For some reason.

I had a dream last night that went like this:

I was Anakin Skywalker, as he is portrayed in Attack of the Clones. (Don't know if he's portrayed that way in Revenge of the Sith. Haven't seen it yet!) I was apparently running from something, and so I/Anakin ran into a room with R2-D2 where I found C-3PO, only he had only one arm. Then we entered the next room, which was a salad bar operated by Jawas.

From that point on, we were very quiet for reasons I don't remember. Then I changed from Anakin to Han Solo, world's coolest antihero. We continued through the Jawas salad bar for a bit. I think we discreetly took some salad along the way. Then I became just me, and the salad bar became just the kitchen I have at home, and there I was, prepping my breakfast while I listened to radio commercials on our local classic rock station.

Me and my sister have been talking about dreams recently, and we noticed that both of us have had jumps like I described here where we're having one dream, then it just becomes another dream out of nowhere. Has anyone else had a dream like that? Why do you suppose that happens?

Oh, yeah, I forgot. That dream I mentioned before where I looked for the "stolen" french fries is an example cause it switched to me riding a pump cart.

Okay, people will hate me, but, I've never seen Star Wars. I've simply never had the interest.

Of course, it happens all the time.

I had a dream that Red said he was actually pretending to be a girl in my Camp Nano cabin...

It was really weird.

Cappie says ymdd. No, Cappie, I don't think my mother dreams of dogs.

Well, you never know. I could be. *shifty eyes*

But I'm not doing Camp NaNo, so you don't need to worry. Was that all you remember?
