Travel ★ Dream Journal : Share your dreams ☯

(I've had a bunch of vivid dreams this past week. I need to go back through my handwritten notes and post the highlights here.)

- There was a reality show with young adults being filmed on the park behind my yard. One of the contestants came over and asked me for a guitar tuner. Sensing my "15 minutes of fame", I tried to tune it by ear and play a riff but it sounded horrendous.

- My mom came home drunk late at night and talked about doing tequila shots with her girlfriends, which is completely out-of-character for her. She started eating bread and I took it away from her because it was covered with mold.

- My dad gave me 3 Percocets that looked like pickle chips. We went to the mall and their was an Indian food place in the food court that was owned by 2 gay Indian dudes. I got the impression that their sales weren't great because of peoples' prejudice, so I placed a big order and it was great.

- I was at the gym with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Nick Walker. I let them inject me with steroids and immediately regretted it, because I've always lifted naturally.
🏋️‍♂️
 
(Wow, I have over a week of dreams to post. I'll just do the more interesting ones.)

- I found myself in some house that I didn't recognize and my parents asked me if I remembered what had happened. Apparently I had driven drunk through the wall of a Subway sandwich shop and then started trashing the place. I didn't believe it until he showed me the footage of it on his phone.

- I was having trouble walking so I pushed myself along the main road in a small sled. (I did the same thing in another dream a couple of years ago. Hey, I guess it works.) Gordon Ramsay was preparing something like clams casino on the ground outside. I ended up at Stop & Shop, pushing myself along in a shopping cart this time. I realized that I was butt-naked and tried to cover myself up with loaves of Italian or French bread!

- I was dating a young woman and living with her family (parents, two brothers and a sister, I think). They were all kind of eccentric. One of her sisters left her diary out and she had written bible verses with all of the letters printed backwards. I somehow spilled one of those single serving wine boxes above the doorframe and her dad & I cleaned it by jumping in slow motion like basketball players.

- I went to a karaoke bar and there were a bunch of young women dressed in futuristic, alien-type clothing with white paint/makeup on their faces.

- My dad was watching a sci-fi show on TV ("Dr. Who", I think) where they were bending the air and making everything look distorted. I realized that I could do it by waving my hands and it really creeped me out.
 
(I was reading one of my old journals from 25 years ago and this dream gave me a good chuckle.)

April 8-9, 1996: I was playing a trivia game called Jabongo with my dad. One of the questions was, "True or False: When Ted Williams batted .406 in 1941, his only opponents were the marshmallow monsters in his head?"!
:?
 
(These are the only noteworthy dreams that I've had lately.)

- I went to get some kind of paperwork from my old school and needed to fill out reports for them first. It related to automobiles, which had nothing to do with my actual studies there. I had to drive around gathering information on things like traffic accidents and cars left abandoned by the roadside. I stopped by the house where I grew up and acted really awkward in front of an old neighbor, which embarrassed me. It ended up having to do more with my own car, and I realized that I would lose possession of it if I didn't fill out the forms correctly.

I made a couple of trips back to the school and once I slept there in a large open co-ed dorm. Everything was in black & white and looked antiquated. My pillow had a built-in radio and it was playing "With a Little Luck" by Paul McCartney & Wings. At one point I saw a short video of Ringo Starr in some prison playing "drums" on his silverware.

- I went away to college, which was at the local shopping mall. Some dude around his mid-40's was rolling joints and asked if I had any tobacco to contribute. The hallway walls were lined with packs of every cigarette brand and type in the world. Some fancy hand-rolled ones had herbs like yohimbe added. Part of the school/mall had an open roof and the rain started pouring in. A guy behind me was singing "Mrs. Brown..." by Herman's Hermits and I told him that it was giving me flashbacks to seeing Peter Noone live in 1989 during a downpour.

There was a large open sand/dirt-filled track where spectators could try to dodge various things from people on motorbikes to wild animals. One guy got his pantleg set on fire by some kind of fireworks. This pixelated-looking confetti started to fall from the sky and leave marks on everyone. We were also being nibbled on by some little puppy/baby goat crossbreeds, which was kind of cute but quickly got creepy. I took shelter under a fold-out lawn chair and some others did the same.

I also had to clean the filthy dorm bathrooms at one point, and there were people racing small cars inside of a garage. They drove up and over the walls and ceiling in an impossible way and almost crashed.
 
Mister I think you are turning me on to starting a dream log. I have just the pen and pad for it hope it will help keep me focused and occupy my time with a more constructive pastime than say YouTube before I close my eyes and more Tube videos when they open in the morning like I should be on YouTube at all.
 
Crap no dreams yet to recall journal next to bed hope to have something in it soon to document here
 
(Some memorable dreams from the past two weeks or so.)

- I went to the beach and got bitten by small fish with huge, pointy teeth like a baby piranha or anglerfish.

- I introduced a musical comedy duo at an awards show with nobody in the audience, so I jokingly thanked all the fans for coming down. I ended up singing "Cruel to be Kind" by Nick Lowe with them. There was a vintage early-1980's arcade attached to the venue with games like Asteroids and Ms. Pac-Man.

- I visited an old weightlifting buddy of mine from the 1990's at his home by the beach and he was in a bad way. He seemed to be having some kind of nervous breakdown and I tried to help him. As a joke I handed him a prank bottle of "supplement", which was actually my old pee mixed with some heavy psych meds. He drank it before I could stop him and I went into a panic about him getting poisoned by it.

He gave me some Dianabol steroid pills and I took one, plus let him inject me with something else. We went to the gym and I was super muscular. One huge guy there was almost going into a 'roid rage there. The mens' room became more like a car and it flipped over with me inside it. The cops came and just wanted to arrest me for reckless driving, even though the crash wasn't my fault.

The lights, buildings and trees surrounding the beach looked really trippy, and some girl showed me how to see it from up higher by jumping over platforms like Super Mario.

(This dream felt like it went on forever, but I wasn't even asleep for that long.)

- I was working in a mini-golf booth located in the parking lot of the local mall. We also sold small convenience store items like soft drinks there, but almost everything was out of stock. There weren't any customers around, so I kept busy by cleaning up inside. I found a display of some liquid herb (kanna, I think) in single-serving straws, so I drank a couple of them.

A young woman working at another booth next to mine got into a violent fistfight with a female customer, then fights started breaking out everywhere. A group of troublemakers surrounded my booth and one guy urinated on the side of it. I ran as fast as I could into the mall, and one of them tried to hit me with their car.

Later I learned that one of my male co-workers had to shoot a guy in self-defense. He said that his father was Christian Bale (even though they're about the same age) and that's who taught him how to handle a firearm.

I touched a female co-worker on the shoulder and she gave me a funny look, so I apologized for making her feel uncomfortable. She gave me a hug and told me not to worry about it. Then she just sort of disappeared and I realized that I was standing there hugging her blue jeans, hoping that nobody saw me.

A family came by the booth to return a leg brace that they had rented for their son, but when he took it off he fell to the ground and looked more like a baby girl trying to crawl on broken legs. That was disturbing.
 
Last night, Ben Burnley sang intimately an acoustic render of Without You in an old apartment of mine among friends.

(My latest batch of crazy dreams. I've had some lucid ones lately, which are always fun.)

- I was working in a clothing store and had puked up strawberry ice cream all over the sales floor. The manager got mad because she had to clean it up!

- I woke up in my bedroom and the light wouldn't go on, which made me realize that I was dreaming. I flew out the window and over the marsh, but could only get about 20 feet up in the air. Plus it was nighttime so I couldn't really see much.

- (Half-awake) I was partially aware that I was lying in bed but not enough to fully understand what was happening, and a bunch of vivid images kept flashing rapidly in front of me. The ones that I remember were a stop sign, yellow caution tape, a skull/monster face, and a couple of Sesame Street characters (Bert & Ernie, I think). There were probably 100 more that I can't recall.

- I was driving at night and couldn't see a thing. I pulled up to a local diner and had to use the restroom, which was co-ed. A woman sitting next to me was laughing about it being awkward and I said, "Don't worry, I promise not to look.".

- I went to a shopping mall in Canada and had to crouch down in the doorway because it was only about 3 or 4 feet high.

- I went to a car show where a bunch of people had Batmobile replicas from different eras. They were handing out raffle tickets to win one but said that I couldn't use it if I had shopped there recently (It was like half-store/half-parking garage). There were purple hair extensions on the shelf and I said, "No, I haven't bought any purple weaves lately.". When I left, I had to crawl out of a narrow opening and a white bird on the ground tried to peck at me. I couldn't find my car (I had parked it out by the road) and the dream became partly-lucid. I grabbed my cel phone and said, "Beam me up, Scotty." in an attempt to teleport myself home. It didn't work but a lady came on the line, which made me think that it was real.
 
Someone told me that dreams last about 4 minutes and only happen when we about to wake up... i always been able to control my dreams with no effort, later found out that those were called lucid dreams and that people in jail take a plant to have them for some reason. Anyways, it's been more than 3 times that i dream about being in the desert where the star of Bethlehem was visible in broad daylight and the three kings approach me and say "you get no presents cuz u a hoe" and i wake up crying

(I'll post my most interesting dreams from the past couple of weeks.)

- I met up with some friends at a local karaoke bar. There were half-naked woman inside and one's back was covered in scars. Outside there were homeless people that looked like drug addicts and prostitutes. I left around midnight but got lost and didn't make it home until 8am. My mom looked like Mindy McCready and my dad/stepdad was a little mean, drunken redneck dude in a cowboy hat.

- I went to a lounge bar and realized that I was still wearing my striped pajamas. They were showing porn behind the bar and a bunch of guys started to, uh, love themselves!

- Babe Ruth died (half present day, half past) and I said, "I was hoping he'd make it to 1949 this time.". I had a false memory of getting drunk on a baseball field years ago at a corporate function. I had vomited on the floor of the house where I grew up and tried to clean it. I showed my mom a pic of my dad from about 1980, and she said that it was taken when he had supposedly gotten drunk and kicked the door in on us. (In the dream, not real life.)

- I was back at my old corporate job and had forgotten how to do everything. I kept switching desks and getting lost. I realized that I had never picked up my voice messages since I started, which was supposedly several months before. I went outside onto a lawn and 2 kitties were fighting/play-fighting. One tossed the other one about 25 feet in the air and I looked away. I realized that I wasn't on break and tried to sneak back in. (Okay, REALLY visualize this...) There were large cubicles that fit 4 desks. They had metal restroom doors on them and people were expected to poop into small trash cans next to their co-workers! I decided to wait until I got home.

- I went to a local beach around sunset. The waves crashing against the rocks created big, slow motion plumes refracting the orange of the sky. A mini-tornado/spout moved in across the water and across the beach.

(Wow, I'll have to finish these when I have more time.)

(Okay, I'll pick up where I left off in my dream journal.)

- I was jamming on keyboard with Paul McCartney and did a Christmas song with "Freddie" in the title. Later I was making out with some woman, and felt really bad because she gagged and puked when I put my fingers too far in her mouth. I wrote in a card to my ex about doing all these great things that were made up, then felt like a creep and ripped it up. Later she told me that she was having her limbs amputated as some radical treatment for her depression!

- I worked in the produce section of a farmer's market and had to incinerate the expired items in this contraption out back that looked like a gigantic long wide tube with an airtight see-through box in the middle for the product. People were pouring things like kerosene in to make it burn faster, and I was worried about safety. I worked with the late Yankee pitcher Don Larsen and my boss said that he had to fire him because he didn't win enough games. When I tried to drive out of the parking lot, my car wouldn't slow down or turn off so I just kept circling the lot trying to figure out what the heck to do.

- I walked into a church/funeral home where they displayed caskets for sale with lifelike dead body decoys in them. They also sold supplies like formaldehyde for mortuary workers. Fun place.
 
Happy New Year!!! 🥳

Lately I've been having some vivid half-awake dreams that I unfortunately forget the moment that I open my eyes. I have some of my abstract paintings on wall and they often find their way into my dreams/night terrors.
 
I don't remember any dreams from the last few nights because I've been taking Klonopin, and that either kills my REM sleep or just gives me amnesia. Plus I don't feel fully rested even though it knocks me out. I usually fall asleep eventually anyway, so I don't really need them. I won't take them tonight.
 
(I finally had some memorable dreams the past few nights to post.)

- I took an old friend of mine to a karaoke bar. They served Seagram's Golden Wine Coolers from the 1980s and I was surprised that they still had them. I ordered one for some lady and got myself a 20oz. bottle of the blue Mountain Dew. When I was driving home, I realized that I'd left my buddy there and went back to pick him up. Later I found that he had left his cel phone (early 2000s flip style) in my car and brought it to his house.

- There was a moon or planet in the sky that looked like a giant copper coin.

- I lived with a young couple and felt annoyed because they kept ignoring me, plus I was jealous of him because I liked her. Later she was sad because they had broken up and I tried to give her a hug, but she pushed me away and I got really embarrassed. My uncle and his brothers lived in little shacks outside, but they were younger versions of themselves and didn't seem to really know who I was.
 
(I can always tell when my confidence is low, because every dream has involved social awkwardness lately.)

- I was working at a synagogue and supposed to lead the choir/band in a Jewish hymn, but accidentally chose a Christmas song instead. I felt really stupid and apologized to the congragation. Most people didn't seem to mind, but a few got offended and walked out.

- I was at my old office job and some creepy guy there was keeping hostages as slaves. It was my job to take a picture for evidence and I was worried about getting caught. He had their feet chained together with large fish hooks. Some woman was snorting coke at her desk and said, "Oh no, I dropped my nose candy!".

- I ran into an old buddy of mine up at the mall and it was kind of sad, because we were really close in our late teens but haven't seen each other in over 15 years. We had one of those awkward hand shake/fist bump moments where we kept doing the opposite of the other person, so I laughed and said, "Why don't you just kiss me?" to break the tension.

- I was eating at a place like Chuck E. Cheese and joking with some black dude about how I'm too old and poor to get a date. I said something about being a "skinny white boy", then worried that I had offended him. I apparently had children in the dream and said that if I met a woman she would say, "Get some diapers for your kids, then get some for yourself!". (Actually, that was pretty clever for my subconscious mind to come up with!) The place was a complete mess and for a minute I thought that I worked there, which really stressed me out.
 
About a week ago, I had a dream two nights in a row that my ex texted me back. Which is really weird because even though he hasn’t blocked me he has never texted me back since we broke up. Even though when we broke up he said that he would still be my friend and he would be there for support. So that really broke my heart. So sometimes I ask him for support and he just ignores me (even when I am legit suicidal I have bipolar 2). I think the dream means that I still miss him, but I still have mixed emotions about him like I’m angry at him for being abusive towards me but also sad that I don’t have him anymore.
