Dream

I had a different 2 bedroom and it was Embers birthday I was getting irritated with the guest. The way that kids do they just want to know too much. The kids were making a mess. I was picking up and I saw under the table the table was dripping so much that it made a little eco system. My mom asked me if my cousins could stay over and I said no.

House

Dream

I was in this house having a nap with 2 dogs. This little dead girl showed up claiming she was killed and to help her. My dad came in and asked why I was awake. I tried to go back to sleep but was awake so the girl showed back up and I followed her out into the wilderness. It looked like she was hunting. We ended up at her house and the mother with heaps of children were there. I realized it was her father who killed her but he was dead to. He started to attack me. It took some time as I couldn't kill him. But I realized I could hurt him by putting my hands into his body. This slowed him down and put him in pain so I tried reasoning with him to get him to stop as he was trying to keep me away from his daughter. He wasn't going to. So I suggested to the mother we burn down the house. I was on a roof top in a stand off. With two people with guns. I talked them into play a ball game instead. We started playing the ball game and I threw a ball off the roof and one of the dudes who had the gun dove off the roof after it. This girl and I were playing a line game. We were teamed up. The lines had to square the whole screen before moving on to the next screen. She stopped playing. And after a few screens I had to go back and play catch up and do her sides too.

Dream

My husband and I are traveling in our rv and decide to take a tour through India. We met some amazing people. The colorful display of clothing and spices everywhere. We met a family that we stayed with. In very humble room. Outdoor shower with little discrete. Walking through the room a lady was just lying naked in bed asleep from the heat her son was showering and then joined her for nap. I decided to take a stroll out to the market and take in the sites. A skinny man approached me to talk about his size, wondering about bigger people in USA. Many people approached me with kindness and questions about USA. Many vendors had their children with them after school as they were in school uniforms and were taking dancing classes in floors above market on open patios. My husband troy joined me and we walked the streets. We went into a local eatery to try some food. So many options and the waiter gave us suggestions. We started off with ice cream as a palette cleanser. They gave Troy the wrong flavor, it was pistachio and he punched his hand down on counter saying I hate pistachio and the green cup of ice cream spilled over. They quickly corrected it and not a change on their faces they were so genuinely nice. Apologize and got his right ice cream. We then decided to try some sake for the first time. We met another couple from America traveling and talked with them awhile sharing tips. Troy with dirty hands was trying to get attention from the lady and got her scarf dirty. He had crumbs everywhere. She got her little broom to clean up the crumbs when it was in a line she had Troy blow them towards the alter where many crumbs laid. We ate our snack and proceeded on a bus tour through city. We met wild life out in an open field. There was a very playful bull, chicken and some strange cute creature. They would hop around field jumping over each other and us. They landed on one of the couples. We laughed. As were sitting in grass we were getting little bugs crawling on us. They looked like watermelon jelly square candy. Pink and green translucent square bugs. We didn’t mind but the lady told us they are poisonous so she gave us a blanket to sit in. We continued watching the animals frolicking in the field. We continued our bus tour and ended up in another small market with vendors and children dancing. We saw a Mickey Mouse character that I had to take a pic with. I stood by him and he didn’t see me. He turned around and jumped back. Said you have to warn me. And laughed. He took another person then I was next. Then when it came to my turn he had to use the bathroom and would be back. In the corner of the market was saw a small crowd and went to look and there was a snake they were watching. Not my husbands favorite so we left quickly.

Searching
Airport

Dream

Last night I had a dream that’s a variant of many similar dreams lately. I was sitting in a cafè having coffee with someone, I don’t know who but I know that it was a friend or acquaintance and I was waiting to go to the airport. I don’t remember where I was going just that it was very important. Someone asks me (actually I think it was my husband) when my flight is and I said 15.45 so I gave still lots of time. We sit, chatting and then I say, maybe I need to go get my bags and start getting ready. When I’m there packing the bags I see my phone has been on “do not disturb” so I switch it on and notifications about my flight start pouring in from an hour before. I then understand that I remembered badly, the flight was a connecting one and the second flight were to leave at 15.45 but the first one was at 13.30! I panic, I HAVE to get to my destination, it’s so important, people are counting on me, oh my god what am I doing, why am I so distracted? I usually have total control about things! Weird enough I’m more or less at the airport and I need to find the office of the airline so they can maybe help me get to the connecting flight or change it to a direct one and I just need to add the money. I’m searching for the office, asking people for directions and some just look at me blankly, then finally outside a pharmacy a lady tells me it’s just around the corner. I turn the corner but just see a restaurant. I ask the lady again and she says, no it’s there, just look closer, I don’t think you’re looking. I go back and I see it, it’s right there. I go to open the door and I have to look down because the step is at a weird height and when I look up again I wake up. This is a variant of other dreams with the same sense of urgency and getting to a certain secret destination that’s vital for me and my kids. My husband is usually there but never helps, sometimes he even makes it worse by going the wrong way taking the kids with him or not listening when I call for him/them. He usually never looks at me or talks to me, like I’m not there. Usually I need to get to a bus, or a train or a flight and I loose my direction or there are obstacles in the way (stairs that change where they end, or by crossing the street I end up five blocks further away, by opening a door I find myself in a place where I don’t know how to get out or where I even am). I always wake up before I get there or before I know I’ll make it. It’s like an elusive maze but with the stress of having to get there, almost like it’s a life or death situation. It’s extremely stressful and the dreams are filled with a lot of anxiety and frustration. I’m doing everything, like everything I can to get me (and sometimes the kids) to where I need to go but whatever I do it’s like walking through mud or being pushed further away. I’m thinking this is a metaphor for my life, someone or something being the block that keeps me held back in every way.

Mother

Dream

I'm at this high school where I volunteer frequently and everytime I do something different happens in my dream. This time, I meet up with a woman who looks like my moms friend wife. She is looking for her son. I am connected to a program so I can only help partially. A girl who I know in real life hangs out with me in this dream everytime. This time in the dream it is homecoming. The football players are walking around with their girlfriends and there is a big performance and I see some of the children I taught before. Later I meet up with my mom's friend's wife to continue trying to find her son. In previous versions of this dream she always been terrified of the wooden elevator; this time she was not. We all got on but the wife was a little slow so I held the door open with my arm. It fully closed on my arm but I did not feel anything. The elevator goes dark for a second and ends up closing in the wife's foot and immediately the thing starts to shake and wobble and go down really fast then stop and go up really fast. When we saw it go back to the original floor we all jumped off. She claims we broke it but me and the girl just continue to laugh and try to shake off the very scary experience. I wake up with a very fast heart beat.

Dream

I was at home cleaning the kitchen. When strangers walked in my front door. They greeted me and started talking to me but then they got these terrifying looks on their faces. There was a knock at my door and when I went to open it there were people outside dressed in all black and with guns surrounding my house. I looked back towards my kitchen and their was a little girl clearly terrified and telling me to help her. I ran over to her and pick her up and I ran out the backdoor and threw her in the river and told her to get away as fast as she could. I ran around to the front of the house and pulled a gun out my pants and started shooting at the people with guns that surrounded my house. They chased me down the street shooting back at me but kept missing. Finally I killed them all but one and it was a lady. I raised my gun preparing to shoot her as she's shooting me but the bullets weren't harming me. So I shot her and killed her too

It felt like I was set up. My friend Blanca was there and she gets up to come talk to me. We're in another room. I'm in a car driving by some houses, it looks like an old road I used to live on, and I park on the side of the road not sure if I should stay or keep driving. I'm in a house, watching 2 little girls, they're saying the want cookies. I tell them they can have cookies after they eat some spaghetti. They don't want the noodles. I make them small plates. They don't like the meat. I tell them I'll give them a little bit of noodles so it tastes better. After a small tantrum they agreed. While they're eating, a man walks in. He eats a cookie. I count how many are in the box. I promised the girls 3 each. Theres enough for me to have one. I walked into a closet and beyonce is dancing with a dollhead on her crotch.
