House rules

A new house. I was helping unpack in a new place. My parents had decided they wanted to go out to dinner as we were finishing up and my baby sister was tearing around the corner wanting to ask if a local girl could spend the night. I found my old roller blades that I haven't seen in ages and think to skate for a while. I slowly make my way up the old street to my parents' house (where they live now) and I get stopped by a couple of people- one is someone I don't know, the other is Alex. For whatever reason I let the stranger hug me before I start getting uncomfortable and I have to extricate myself so I can greet Alex and we can leave. I got the feeling that he didn't like the stranger being all over me, but then again, I definitely did not like that. I never made it to my parents house, but instead returned to the other. From there it got steadily darker and there were some people at the house. There was the air of a challenge and I was looking for my boyfriend. It was almost primitive thinking in modern surroundings. Like I was a bit away from where everyone else sat (we were all on the floor), and I was watching my friends. Thankfully, boyfriend comes up behind me so I know he is there, and I hug him. I tell him that some of the younger girls think to challenge me for my spot- I guess I'm some sort of leader(?), but they don't dare. He agrees with me that they won't, and I start waking up.

10/29

I was with my family and extended family (no one I knew) getting ready for some get together for my dad's work buddies. I kept debating whether or not to go. I really didn't though because I knew it was a pool party and I didn't want to wear a swimsuit. I don't know why I made a big deal about it because most gatherings one has a choice about what one does. Anyway, when we get there I see Kristina and Margareta. And I'm happy because I know then in a room full of strangers, mostly itallian strangers. My family disappears outside and somehow I get drawn into playing video games and coloring. Every now and again I'd look outside to the pool area and see people talking and hanging out to the left.

I didn't write wendsday when I had a short dream about hanging out with Alex and all of a sudden we are scrambling to secure the basement where we are. And I watch out of a basement window and sliding glad door as water comes rushing up from left to right. I know I panicked for a moment, but then I just watch it as the water never came in.

Home again

It started with my mom and me leaving the old house. She was in this smaller car in front of me, not one we own. I am in my truck and waiting for her to leave when I look up to the house that belonged to a friend of mine's family. I saw my ex's truck and panicked nudging my mom's car forward like "hey, move!" I did not want to be seen by him. By then time I had rounded the corner towards another friend's house my panic left and I could think knowing that there was no way my ex had been to that house because he didn't know that friend. Anyway, I parked the car near the field I used to play in and got out, walking to an old bus stop. All the while thinking I was going to be late to work and at this time of day there really was no point in my going in. The light reflected some time around 7 (morning or evening- I couldn't tell) but that in determanite time due to season. For whatever reason I decide to walk up around the streets I used to wander, up around to yet another old friend's home. This time I was on a mission to give something back. I remember walking up to the door and debating whether or not to knock, but then just deciding to stuff what I was giving in the door jam. I manage to make it to the driveway before I hear his dad get to the door. He wants me to wait and I get past his neighbor's house before he leaves the property. I don't know why, but I end up running from him. In any actuality I have no reason to because I always thought that this friend's dad was awesome. I still ran. I ended up running through someone's back yard knowing that the dad was still behind me and I stop short because I don't know which yard to go in. One is fenced and the other open. I end up racing through the open yard and find a side door to the front of the house. For some reason I open that door and retreat in. I know the dad is still out there, close, but I back further and look out the back window. I don't see him, but I see on the window part of an alarm system. It didn't go off when I came in, but I wondered about it. I made my way to the front door and worked my way around to located the panel that held the controls. The digital screen said it was off, but I still pushed the big off button just in case and left out the back sliding door.

This next part was me driving through old town. It was steadily getting darker and the streets seemed crammed with parked cars. I went down a side road and scrapped the side of my car, trying to not get hit by something. Eventually, I got out and went into this small side shop and found an old high school friend. She had recently gotten married and I was able to give her a hug and wish her much love for her marriage. I end up apologizing to another girl in the store for hitting her car.

4:20 am

Very early a.m dream, but really vivid. Took place at a school so i had something to learn. The age was indeterminate And I'm not sure how long i was there, but i know i had gone to some classes and made some friends. I had been to one's home and we were getting something on the house fixed. In moving a board we found this wasps nest on the ground. This person who was with me knocked it over, but there was still something in there. I think I got bit, but i can't be sure. Outside we were talking about something and i was drinking from a mini milk jug (something I do with chocolate milk) like I was trying to make myself sick so as not to return to school, but for some reason it didn't work. I end up meeting a bunch of friends before ending up in an assistant princeple's office with another friend who is being pushed to stay on some sort of sports team. The a.p looked like Sue from GLEE and was just as mean. I know I had placed my hand on my friend's shoulder after her speech about his needing to stay and I asked him "what do you want? What makes you happiest?" And she got mad at me. I ended up looking at her while she was yelling at me and told her "You're as straight as a clock you coocoobird" don't know why but I think I was laughing. Apparently I walked out of the office shoeless, but they were in my hands dangling from the laces. I know I was wearing some sort of shorts and a tank top and there was no doubt about me sauntering away from that office. Maybe it was a strut, but definitely that walk had attitude. The friend who was with me caught up and asked now what. I just shrugged and laughed "I'm a he'll raiser, what do you think?" and I knew I was leaving the building, for what I wasn't sure.

Proposal envy

Ever since I found my old diary I've noticed that I do tend to have a lot of early morning dreams. When I was younger they usually ended up between two people I had never met, but came to signify 2 key male players in my life. Funny enough I almost always chose to hang out with the darker haired one of the two.

Anyway, it seemed I was on some sort of trip with my baby sister. We had stopped somewhere that was kind of like a fair sort of out of the way as there were people constantly circulating. I was walking along a dirt road, trying to avoid getting run into by both people and vehicals. I know we were on time, but I had decided to head somewhere (possibly to where our car was) to retrieve a book. I seemed really focused on it because I could see the dark cover in my mind- it was either Soul Bound or Blood Ties. One of the Richelle Mead books I have. I just remember trying to get to it. I'm not sure if I ever did though because the dream shifted to where I was in it looked like a confrence room about to join my mother for something that we were to watch. I ended up greeting the lady next to her and she had mentioned something about being my neighbor. Not to sure about that. At one point during the video or something we were watching I got up and left the room. Somehow I ended up close to the kitchens where there were the caterer carts and covered trays being set up for lunch I would guess. I was looking at something in one of those dishes when my boyfriend came up next to me. It is strange since he only makes rare appearances and when he does, it's usually one of strong emotional or should be for the strong content- considering what happened next. He moved away from me before I could get the confused look off my face and returned to the room I had just left. I go back as well moments later still not sure that I had seen him. I end up finding my little sister on the other side of the room sitting on the floor with a bunch of other younger people (not kids or children, more like older teens and young adults). The conference video switches when I notice out the corne of my eye, one of the girls talking about how she saved this band that she shrank down to fit her finger like a ring. She said she saved it because that was the time and place where she had met her significant other. While this girl was telling a few others this, her boyfriend had gotten up and moved to stand in front of her. He knelt down and started talking about how they weren't the normal couple and he had removed a box to show her that he also had that same band shrunken down as well. After that point I caught sight of my boyfriend and I could see the envy on his face. I know he would love to do something like that, but not at this moment.

I'm not even sure if this part tied in because it ended up so different. By now I was packing up some stuff and joking around with boyfriend, when some alarm goes off. Part of me kicked into panic mode because I knew it was serious. What ended up happening was a couple of idiot teens broke a safety valvue and an airlock door. I remember staring at them and saying we didn't have much time then because whatever viruse was behind that door would be released shortly and we all needed to get out. But after that first initial panic there was no fear or hurry. But I guess by then I was already waking up.

Time management

I dreamed about coming home from work after a long still sunny day to find myself stopping to see my parents. They had convinced me to take a week off. Now their idea was to take a 10 day retreat somewhere and I for some reason kept thinking I would have to go back into work during that time and oh I should not have taken that time off, when even if I did, i'd still have been able to enjoy it. Either way we ended up talking about who would be driving and what all we needed to bring. The next thing I know I'm walking in a familiar back yard into what looks like a small group of friends pulling a Alice in Wonderlandesq sort of party. One of the kids was buried under a pile of leaves and I had almost stepped on her. I don't recall how long we were in the yard, but at some point everyone stated slowly making their way to this porch that seemed to be falling apart. Looking up to the next level you could see where the floor had sunken in in places as though people were laying down and the floor molded itself around them. Anyway, up we went looking for one of their companions who left partway into their fun. He was a sandy haired kid, around the same age, although we seemed to be a bit younger once starting this trip. We found him in one corner, close to where my family was sitting. I remember scooting in-between swings/ hammocks and ended up talking to that person. He was trying to figure out whether or not to get rid of his facial hair. I told him it really was his decision and then I made the mistake of patting his head which flattened part of his hair. I apologized and found myself leaning against his legs and we continued talking even as I knew I was waking up.

Haunting the neighbors?

I swear that damned house haunts me, even though it was the neighbors' house that I kept going in. The dream started with me and my baby sister walking around a corner of the one of the streets that we used to roam before moving. I remember facing one of the houses because a tree was cleared out and it confused me. The homeowner was next door painting something on the house front in preparation for Halloween. We both ended up saying hi to her before continuing on. Part way down the old street we ran into one of the kids that used to hang out with us- he looked older (I actually expected that) even if he didn't act any older. I don't remember if we got to talking since this sort of gale wind came up and was pushing him backwards, taking away whatever he was trying to say and force him back home. Not that I'm sure if he even still lives there. Anyway, with that wind I was trying to make my way into the old house, but for some reason I end up going into the neighbors' home and it looke like they were in the process of moving. Oddly enough, they were not there either. I do remember though- that in actuality, those neighbors moved before my family did and i know we didn't like them due to a bratty little girl who was a couple years younger than my baby sister. I'm now confused as to why I would even think of that place since I had never been inside and I never made it to my old house. That's a little strange.

YouTube fun

I know this was brought on by the insanity of watching different things being censored so- I dreamed I was going back to school. In the back of my head I kept thinking that I'm no longer in school, but I decided to go along with it. I was with my siblings in what looked like a giant rec hall and milling around with a bunch of other kids, some I recognized as the kids from the Potter films. Everyone was laughing and joking around waiting for something. I ended up going from small group to small group trailing after one sister and trying to avoid an ex-friend. At certain points though I couldn't help but smile and laugh as there was that general air of silliness. At one point (end of the day?) we are leaving with a bunch of others, heading out of the building and we're waiting for a bus- somehow I knew the bus broke down, so I give a big smile to my travel mates and start walking the other way saying I don't think I'm up to waiting for another ride. This causes some of them to smile back and my siblings (2 of the 3) to follow. We get to where we are going though I have no clue if we beat the bus riders or not. Either way my sisters and I end up hanging out with the Weasley kids in this big living room. Again we are having fun and goofing off. I'm still not entirely sure what I was supposed to have learned other that I no longer like the idea of waiting for buses.

Fragment

So I had a couple partials that I remember for this morning. One was my getting out of a shower and putting stuff away and turning to say good bye to this older person who came up on me as he was leaving. I don't think he was related but he was someone that my family knew. After he left I finished getting dressed and made my way back to the bathroom. There both my sisters had stolen the room, but the door wasn't locked. Anyway, Meg was in the shower with this male toddler with the shower running and I catch sight of jessie in the sink sort of just hanging out. I didn't focus much on them since it was strange seeing them like that. I hurried out and found a pillow of mine just falling into a laundry basket that had water at the bottom. For whatever reason I was panicking like a little water would destroy it or something. I ended up wringing the water out. So I'm not sure why it bothered me.

This next fragment also dealt with my leaving somewhere and getting my stuff together. This time I had all my stuff almost packed up except for this box. I was looking through it and anything that my dream self recognized as its I would move it to my bag. I thought it strange though because I never bring a lot of stuff anywhere and here I was going through a box of small stuff like books, jewelry and other things. The last thing I remember looking at in the box was a book (not mine) and this small white metal cross/heart/ and dove/peacock pendant.
