So, has anybuggy

So, has anybuggy noticed we never say anybuggy anymore?  I know it's kinda lame, but I liked it.  *sheepish*  Hmm....

Also, dreams.  So, since this is a potentially useless thread otherwise, it can be the new dream thread if you want...  :) 

Which brings me to: I had a visually amazing dream last night.  We were driving around up north and we came to this REALLY green spot (which is rare this time of year, it's never green around here until spring usually), with the most beautiful stream I have ever seen in my life winding through it.

The dream went on with lots of complicated stuff, but throughout a great amount of it, we just followed this sapphire stream.  When the hills it was between turned, the stream would tip on it's side like a race track, so the water was vertical, and you could see light streaming through the hill and water in stripes, so there would be glimpses of the true water color.  It was SO beautiful.  I'm going to try and imbed that into my brain so I'll never forget it.

I like to say anybuggy. Sure, it might be immature (are you reading this, Charlotte!!!!?????) and childish, but it's fun. Oh, for dreams, I meet celebrities, go to my friends' houses, and it doesn't look like their house, etc. And last year, for two months after Nutcracker, I was dreaming that I was in it, as a flower or something, and we kept learning the same thing over and over without actually learning it! My imagination runs away half the time...Fine, all the time!

Wednesday night I had a nightmare that our house (only it was our house with rooms that I had never seen before :P) was on fire. My mind can be extraordinarly inventive when it comes to details, and I have rarely been so terrified in my life. You know how when you wake up from a beautiful dream you want to go back to it when you fall asleep again but you never can? This was the opposite - every time I closed my eyes I smelled smoke and chemicals and heard the hiss of cracked gas lines and the laughter of someone - I can't remember who it was, but he was terrible - and saw the chaos of leering shadows flirting with the flames. I was exhausted, but I couldn't sleep - I was running on sheer fright that renewed only after bursts of that dream-fear. It was the most miserable night I have ever spent. And now I'm usng frilly words and descriptions, and I need to go to bed. :P But now I'm scared to. If I can't sleep tonight, I will blame it on you, Laura. I hope you feel guilty. (Jk, jk)

Lol, Emily. XP I once had a dream sort of like that (just

not quite as scary...). It was like little sections of our house

kept catching on fire. Little corners and places like that. And

every time you put the previous fire out a new one would

start. Not fun... :\

Oh dear.  Maybe it was Voldy.  :)

Hmm... I often use to have really bad dreams.  Do you eat stuff right before bed, like candy, or anything really rich?  Cause that always gives me and my dad nightmares.

 

I'm very sorry to have caused you pain!!  :)

I once dreamed that I had been kidnapped, and we were in my aunt's house, only it was different.  But anyway, it was very frightening, and I did all kinds of things to try and escape.  *shudder*

The last dream I had was a really good one, but um, personal. One interesting one I had a couple nights ago was exploring the bottom of a lake that had just gone way down. There was a tunnel to crawl through (which had been completely underwater, but now wasn't), and boulders to climb on, and all kinds of cool stuff.

Yah, I had a good personal dream the other night too!!  Which is rare.  Usually I just don't dream, or they're weird, or scary...  :)

I've never said, "everybuggy," but I can start!

I had a dream a few months ago in which Artemis Fowl kidnapped me. Actually, for some reason, I thought it was really cool that Artemis Fowl was real. I'm not sure how I knew he was Artemis Fowl, but he looked just like I'd always imagined Arty would look like, and I just assumed it was he. I was so happy, I got into his car as soon as he asked me to (which I'd never do in real life), so it technically wasn't a kidnapping. However, as soon as he took me to his mansion, which was pink and ugly, he removed a disguise. '"Artemis" was actually a thin teenage girl with long blonde hair and sapphire-blue eyes.

Then, she laughed an evil laugh and locked me in the bathroom. 

Fortunately, I had a cell phone with me, and she hadn't seen it. I used it to call the police.  They let me leave, but the  woman wasn't arrested or even fined... Then, when I got home, my mom removed a disguise. She was really the kidnapper, and she wouldn't tell me what had happened to my real mom.

I had a more pleasant but  not any less weird dream 2 nights ago. A cat that resembled Firestar said, "Wife, I need to go on a business trip. You can't come, but would you like to go to the moon while I'm away? I have a ticket here for the 5:00 rocket."

I wanted to go to the moon so badly, I didn't deny being his wife. I took the ticket (which I'd never do in real life) and went onto the rocket. It felt like a plane ride, but I'd forgotten to bring a book with me, so it was boring.

When I got to the moon, I found a building that said "Junior Lunar Choir" on it. I entered it. It was full of girls that looked jut like me, and one weary-looking director who asked me to sing a song I'd never heard of. When I told her so, she told me to learn it. When I asked how to do so, she gave me a book of songs and told me to memorize them all. When I asked why, she said the choir would be singing them in a concert in July. When I told her I couldn't afford to come back ever again (rocket tickets cost billions of dollars, and I'm 11!), she yelled at me. I then left.

I had a dream last week that a basilisk had escaped in our county and everybuggy had to wear sunglasses so if the basilisk looked at them they wouldn't die. Then I home and somehow we had moved, but it kinda looked like our house in some ways, and half like somebuggy's elses's house that we had known once. It was weird.

Yeah, well, I've had some, let's just say interesting dreams! :)  For some reason, I haven't been remembering my dreams recently, even though I have a book for writing them down.  The book is in some closet, and I got tired of writing them down after the first couple of dreams. *looks around sheepishly* 

Anyway this dream I don't remember to well, but... I was Harry Potter somehow, and I was outside in the small front yard of some castle, but I don't think it was Hogwarts.  I had to collect eggs in the yard, and then go into the castle and do something with them.  I had this dream so long ago, that I don't remember why.  So there was this dragon in the castle and I had to avoid it.  And it was coming closer... dun, dun, dun.... And then I was magically transformed into me again and I was in this small, one-story house that was reeeally old and I thought it was haunted.  There was another girl with me and I think she was supposed to be my sister, but I don't have a sister, so I really don't know.  There was this door that creaked loudly whenever we moved it and that creeped me out.  I don't remember anything else, so I guess I woke up or something.

 

Sorry, that was really long and boring and confusing.  But just a comment.  Don't you think it's weird that sometimes you seem to know things in dreams that you wouldn't necessarily know in real life?  Like you know the guy standing next to you is the president, even though you wouldn't in real life.  You get what I trying to say here?  I just thought it was kinda weird.  There's probably some explanation somewhere, but I don't know it.

Okay, I need to stop ranting here. :P Farwell! *waves excitedly* *wide grin* *stops when she realizes everyone's staring at her* *hits submit* :D

Yeah, I know what you mean about knowing things

in dreams that you wouldn't in real life. I've always

thought that was weird, too. *looks around mysteriously*

O.o

I often dream that I am one of the people from a book, or some famous person. (More often book characters, though.) For instance, a few weeks ago I dreamed I was Harry from the HP books, and there was this huge battle involving dragons at the Ministry of Magic, which looked like my state's capitol building (I've toured it so I know what it looks like.) In a back room, a bunch of people from my drama class were watching some little kids so they wouldn't get hurt during the fighting. I ran in wildly--there was a dragon outside the window, and Voldemort was after me!--and slammed the door. One of the girls, we'll call her Sarah, looked at me like I was nuts and said, "Are they chasing you?" To which I replied, "I'm the boy who lived! Of course they're chasing me!" Then I ran out this back door which had magically appeared, threw a shield charm over my shoulder to protect the little kids and people from drama, and hid in the doctor's office around the corner.

 

But what's strange is that I forget I'm me, kind of, during the dream, and really am convinced I'm this person. Does that happen to anyone else, or am I just weird?

That always happens to me. Even when I'm myself, I'm always slighty different from the way I really am. And I always think my dreams are real while I'm experiencing them.

One time, I dreamed I was Hermione. Then, I somehow transformed into a selfish, cowardly prince. Count Olaf (from ASoUE) was about to burn down my castle, and I got scared and fled to the hills. I then turned back into brave Hermione and decided to go back and save the people dying slow and pinful deaths in the castle. But then, when I went back, it was already destroyed. Count Olaf appeared, and I yelled at him, and he spit at me, and I drew a sword to attack him, but then I turned into the prince and got scared and cried. Then, I woke up.

Just a question for everybuggy- do you have any tips for remembering dreams?  I wake up with my alarm (which is a radio station actually) and then I get up and get dressed and things like that.  Then an hour later, I remember that I had had a dream the night before, but all I remember is little clips from it, and then the more I think about it, the more I forget it.  And then it's gone.  What does everybuggy do to remember dreams?  Or do you not?

Yeah, I know what you mean. Well, I have this dream

book that tells you, well, pretty much everything about

dreams, and in it it says that writing down what you do

remember about your dreams helps you remember them

better over time. *shrugs* I've never tried it, but that's

what I've heard. :)
