Fading

I hate when my dreams fade so fast that I don't get to have a decent recall of them. I keep telling myself that I need to write them down when I wake up, but I'm usually waking up to do something, like go to work.

For instance, I remember that last night I had a dream that I was at school. It was run down looking, not at all like the campus I graduated from (De Anza) nor like the campus I will be going to (SJSU). I vaguely remember something going on in the cafeteria where I was searching for something. I also vaguely remember getting panicked cause class time was approaching and I had neither read the book nor done the homework!

And that's pretty much it. Well other than the walls were mostly made of wood.

Laje

Back to school, again...

I had this weird dream last night that I had gone back to college. (In real life, I am going back shortly but to a state college for my BS degree and not going to live on campus for sure.) In this dream I was looking at on campus housing because I was going to be rooming up with an old friend of mine who is blind. (He is a real friend in real life who is blind.) We were walking around this huge campus trying to find everything and figure out which classes would be most convenient for him and just get general answers to questions like where the housing was.

At some point, we ran into an old beat up looking store that sold flooring. My blind friend said we should get some tile our new place so I went around grabbing pieces for him to step on. He kept complaining that they were sharp on his feet, but I kept trying to tell him to not worry about the edges and just feel the tops. After awhile I started grabbing linoleum instead since it had no sharp edges. After bringing him the third piece he put his socks on and started sliding on the floor.

Shortly after he started sliding I notice my dad behind the counter of the store. I soon realized that he owned the store. We started chatting when my mom showed up. (They are divorced in real life.) I ducked away for some reason and overheard my mom asking my dad where I was. He said something to the affect that I'm old enough to take care of myself.

It gets a little fuzzy but apparently I didn't want to go with my mom at that point so I ducked out of the store and hid in the trunk of her car or something. Shortly after that I woke up.

Darn creatures!

In my dream last night I was whacking creatures that were trying to eat my dog's food with a couple baseball bats. Everything from raccoons to lemurs were trying to get it. The last wave of creatures were a bunch of cats. The cats were the worst. I'd hit one with a bat and it would just lay down! (Don't get me wrong, I'm actually a cat person...but apparently I have some subconscious frustrations against whatever creature has been eating our dog's food in real life.) Soon the cats didn't care at all that I was whacking them. A couple of them even jump on me or rubbed up against my leg. This annoyed me cause my wife is allergic to cats! I thought to myself: "Great, now I'll have to shower when I'm done and scrub real well. Then clean the shower just to make sure."

After awhile of not getting anywhere with the cats I woke up.

It was still early so I went back to sleep.

I had a few dreams after that but I only remember part of one.

I was living in some kind of shanty town in a little shack. There had been called a meeting for the youth of the town so I went to it after putting out some pots to catch the rain that was coming through my roof.

When I got to the meeting it had already started and the missions team that was putting it on were doing little seminars. One of them was on Evolution.

I made a snide comment about how evolution was wrong out loud and one of the kids there challenged me on it. So I started talking about all the problems with the theory. I got shushed, so I went outside with several of the kids and continued explaining my position, but since it was raining we went into my place.

It starts to get fuzzy here, but I vaguely remember looking for something and next thing I knew I was at my friends house. He was there and I went towards his downstairs bathroom, but he told me they had to renovate and now they only had one bathroom upstairs (they currently have 3 in real life). I was confused but went upstairs anyway.

They single bathroom was smaller than any of the ones they had before, but it was super high tech, with all kinds of switches and knobs and a shower that had wrap around spray nozzles. It was actually cool despite being so small. However, as I was just starting to figure out the buttons, my friend's mom banged on the door and said she was sick and needed the restroom now, so I got out.

At this point I woke up again and stayed up.

Video Games rot your brain.....

Last night I dreamt I was the main character from Metroid: Samus Aran.

I was trapped at this weird train station area (more like a commercial train station not a passenger train station.) There was this cyborg type person guarding the path. To gain her trust I decided to recover an item she had lost. It turns out it was down inside this dark spider web covered hole. I was trying to shove me self into the holes and reach in and grab the item but the path in the hole was really long and even though I had managed to get into it and was going deeper the further I went the tighter it got and the more claustrophobic I was getting.

At this point something startled me awake and I started to analyze my dream and I realized I was being an idiot and I should have just used the power suit's ball mode to roll into the tunnel and grab the item.

At this point I fell back asleep...and guess what?

I was back in that dream, but this time I rolled up into a ball and grabbed the item. Just as I was rolling back out, I woke up again and this time didn't fall asleep again.

Puzzle Pyramid

Last night the adventure:

I was some kind of scientist and I found an upside down pyramid that turned out to be a big puzzle.
Once I solved the puzzle it opened and revealed a spaceship inside.
Then this kid stepped out of the ship and told us that at its speed it would take 10 billion years to get to the nearest planet. But that it would at least be an adventure..
