Runaway

Dream 11.22.17

My friend Tim and me are at a store. I think it's Menards or Lowes. We exit from the back of the building and jump the fence. Passed the fence is a grassy hill. As I walk up the hill, I rip grass out of the ground. Someone from the store sees me and becomes angry. Many people are after me, including Tim's dad. I run and escape their sight.

I board a train along with one or both of my sisters. The train is the top bleachers of Liberty Christian School (The Washington building). I stand there and talk to my sisters and Tim. My crime wasn't horrible. I think if I stay away for a while, the authorities will forget about me and I will be free again. Dream ends.

Impractical

Dream 11.21.17

I'm roaming the streets of New York City. I look up at those beautiful twin towers as I pass underneath them. The Impractical Jokers have a restaurant now. I find my family. We walk through narrow alleyways. We stand in front of the large, front window of the Impractical Jokers restaurant. Inside, standing near a table, I can see James Murray. My sister knocks obnoxiously on the window and when Murr looks, I wave at him. We come in and sit down. I tell my sister to get her phone ready. I pull Murr aside and ask if I can take a picture with him. He is annoyed but obliges. We take a picture. I say something to him which annoys him even further.

Later, my family and I go to a water park. I stand in line for a tall water slide. For some reason, I leave the line. When I return, it is even longer. I finally make it to the top. In order to get on the slide, you must climb down a ladder inside the tube. Several kids and teens cut in front of me. It's frustrating but I keep quiet. Dream ends.

Camp Stupid

Dream 11.18.17

I'm living at my old house in Middletown, Indiana. My family and I grow many animals. These animals are not earthly. For example, there is one that has the shape of a tadpole but is big and hairy like a groundhog. He hides in a bush. I try to get him out but am unsuccessful. Later, I find him dead in a fish tank. I put on a pair of rubber gloves and fish him out.

We hear a noise in the cornfield across the street. My sister, Morgan, runs toward the field. This scares me because who knows what is out there making that noise. She disappears in the corn. I hear other voices. I walk inside the crop and find a few strangers. One of them may or may not be a witch.

A youth camp is being held at my house. My dad is one of the leaders. We are being divided into two teams - red and blue - for sports and activities. The red team gets first pick. The leaders of the camp, including my dad, pick the three most athletic kids in camp to be on the red team. Then, they only pick one person for the blue team and then return to red. By the time the teams are chosen, one can see a huge difference in the two. The red team is by far the superior force. The blue team is filled with weaklings and nerds. I am on the blue team. The red team members are wearing red colored raggedy Ann wigs.

I am not usually someone who speaks out for the cause of fairness. I think "survival of the fittest" is fair enough, but this is just ridiculous. I stand up and confront the leaders in front of everyone. I slowly walk toward them as I ridicule their bias decision of picking teams. I walk over a bridge. There is a bridge in my house. By the time, I am done speaking, I am standing right in front of them. My dad pulls me aside to talk.

The teams are disbanded. They are then reassembled in a more honest manner. While this is being done, I go and stand by myself with my arms crossed. I can tell that the former red team members are angry with me. They had a winning team and I threw a wrench in their plans. In my mind I think that they probably don't like me but they at least respect me for standing up to injustice. I find out that I am still on the blue team, which is fine, since they are more even now. A few individuals on the teams have different colored bands on their sleeve. One boy with a band is told that he will be the medic for the blue team. He starts hyperventilating, saying that he himself has medical issues and cannot accept the duties of the medic. I find that I have four different colored bands on each of my arms. They tell me that I am the foreigner of the team. I have no idea what that means.

There is a boy at this camp. He is pale and bald. He looks like Jason Voorhees as a child or a war boy from Mad Max: Fury Road. Something is odd about this boy. I don't think he is human. It may be a little redundant at this point, but this is just the way my mind works, I think he is a demon. His face reminds me of Chucky from Child's Play. He gives everyone trouble. My dad tells me to watch the boy while he goes somewhere. Somehow, I shrink the boy. He is now 1 inch tall. I keep him in a small dollhouse that I hold in my hands. With his demonic abilities, he continually morphs the dollhouse to give me trouble. I keep my fingers away from the windows for fear that he will stab me.

My dad returns. He needs to give the boy a bath. Someone later tells me that the boy looks like a crocodile lying in the tub. I can see into the future. I find that my dad will build onto this house, a small bedroom and invite this boy to live with us. The boy will then become a serial killer. I tell my dad this. It doesn't seem to phase him. After the boy gets out of the tub and dries off, I notice that he is taller and has hair. He is now an old friend of mine from middle school named Kirk. He puts his hand out and I shake it. Dream ends.

Tunnels

Dream 11.17.17

My sister is throwing a rager. I am not invited. In fact, she tells me that I am not allowed. It's fine. I don't want to come anyway. I walk through the room that they are setting up for the party. I go underground and walk through what seem like miles of hallways. The halls remind me of the underground tunnels that connect IU hospital and Riley. Dark. Concrete. Dimly lit. Uncared for. (By the way, if you are ever at IU or Riley and want some real fun, go to the basement and take the original tunnel. It's good for a creepy thrill).

Somewhere throughout the miles long hallway, a door leads me to my room. The pad is set up very slick. A room made for a king. Or a prince not allowed to attend a simple gathering. What is the deal with that, anyway? I am twenty-eight years old and they still treat me like I'm a child.... you know what... forget it... it's just a dream. Dream ends.

Evil Woman

Nightmare 11/16/2017

I'm at my church. The Sunday service is just ending. I walk into the dimly lit sanctuary and a woman, whom I don't know, hands me her daughter. The daughter is about two years old. She is in a cute, white dress. The mother tells me that the daughter likes to get prayer at the end of the service. Somehow, I know that the daughter has cancer. I wait in the sanctuary as most of the congregation leaves. A person with the microphone then asks for anyone wanting prayer to remain standing. I try to stand but the girl is too heavy, so I sit. They don't know she needs prayer.

Several people gather in a section of chairs in the sanctuary. I believe this is a Bible study of some kind. I stay seated in this area. As the group sings worship songs, two women enter the room. As they seemingly try to find their seats, one of the women takes off her shirt. I notice this out of the corner of my eye. She then puts her shirt back on and starts to leave. One of the pastors follows her to the door and chews her out in front of everybody. "You've been doing this stuff since you were a child," he says. She leaves, furious. I have a sneaking suspicion that this woman will be back with a gun. And then Blast Off!!!

My mom and I leave the church and go to Wendy's. We stand in the drive-thru line. Nobody has cars. One girl is taking a long time to order. She then runs back to her car. She picks up a few dollars lying on the ground. They must've fallen from her purse. I am afraid that the shirtless woman is going to come shoot up the Wendy's. I convince my mom to leave before we order.

Back at the church, we sit among other individuals in a small Bible study. The study is held in a small room at the back of the church. We are the only people in the church at this time. During the study, we hear something way down the hall. The room goes quiet. One gentleman stands up and walks to the hall. He looks down both ways but sees nothing. All of a sudden, we hear gunshots. They seem to be coming from the same building. I start to run into the hallway to escape but then my mom tells me to escape out of another door. The door leads to the outside. We run into the parking lot as people behind us are shot. We make it to the truck. My mom stops for a moment as she sees a scratch or dent in the bumper. I yell at her to get in the truck. We leave. As we go, we lower our heads, for bullets are hitting near where we are. I think the shirtless woman is the shooter. Nightmare ends.

Wonderful Wonderful

Dream 11/13/2017

I'm looking at a field from a birds eye view. This is a video game. Maybe League Of Legends. Maybe World of Warcraft. 

I am apart of it now. But it isn't the same. The game has changed. I walk into a house. I sit down in a chair. A large, black man walks in and sits down next to me. He starts talking to me about the positive aspects of socialism. He points to the TV in the room, "this guy explains it well," he says. The man on the TV is the same man from the show "Adam Ruins Everything." I point at the man and respond mockingly, "you mean, this pompous asshole?" The large, black man doesn't seem amused. I notice a tattoo on his arm. It either says "BUST" or "DUST." I leave.

I walk outside the house where a church service is taking place. Many people in the congregation are students who I graduated with from Liberty Christian High School. I see an old pal of mine, Kelson, pacing back and forth at the back of the room. I give him a nod as I walk past him. While standing at the side of the room, I notice Kelson walk into the same house that I recently exited.

I return to the house but instead of walking inside, I wander to the side of it. In the grass I find a long, winding rope. At the end of the rope, in the grass is written the word "BUST" or "DUST." I instantly know that that large, black man is very important. I walk to the back of the house where many people are playing a game similar to hacky sack. I interrupt the game and mess up the flow. One person in particular is angry at me for doing this. When I leave the area, he follows.

I find myself on a country road surrounded by woods. The angry man and his girlfriend are behind me. At one point, the man tells his girlfriend that he signed her up for a fight. She is furious because he didn't consult her first. While they argue in the road, I get away. Dream ends.

The Attack On The Asylum

Dream 11/12/2017

I'm walking down a hallway. I see a prisoner/mental patient wandering. I grab her and start directing her to her room. I notice her son is walking in the same hallway. I don't want him to see her for fear that he will become uncontrollable. I guide her into a stairwell as another employee detains the son. I take the mom downstairs into an area where the son will not find her. These patients have superpowers.

I walk into the basement where many doctors and nurses are hard at work. I am flirting with a girl named Cheryl. Her face is badly deformed. She almost looks like an alien.

I walk outside. The mentally insane mother and her son are walking toward the building. Forcefully. They are ready to strike. I run back inside and warn everyone in the basement of the oncoming attack.

The mom walks into the basement and turns into a large cow. She then grabs a nearby man and precedes to rape him. I run into the lab and yell, "I need a baby pig!" The doctor in the lab is growing baby pigs inside a glass case. "Baby pig coming up," the doctor yells. A little piglet runs toward my legs. I pick him up and run him over to the cow. He sniffs on the cow for a few seconds. I then shove him into the cow's butt. Dream ends.

Start Your Engines

Dream 11/10/2017

I'm attending an internship in Texas called The Honor Academy. My mom has come to visit me. We sleep in the same bunk in a room full of bunk beds. It is early in the morning, still dark outside. On the wall is a poster. On one part of the poster it reads four Jamaicans. My mom, in the quiet room, asks what the poster means by "four Jamaicans." She then stands up and walks toward the bathroom. I stand up too but notice several other female interns walking toward the bathroom. I jump back in bed.

In the internship, we have been split into teams. Every week, someone from the team races in a NASCAR or quarter midget race. This week, one of my friends on the team is racing. At a weigh-in, the drivers cannot be over a certain weight. My friend is too heavy. It is then thought that I should drive instead. I do.

The final lap comes down to me and a girl named Katherine. I am first to cross the finish line. Cheers ring out from the stands. They hand me a trophy which looks like a wooden bowl. I run over to the stands where my team is sitting and hand them the trophy. The celebrating goes on. I ask a teammate if he thinks I am too old to try to become a professional race car driver.

My mom is sad. She also doesn't feel well. She pulls me aside and tells me that she is going to travel for a few days. No direction in mind. Just drive. I feel bad for her. A sick feeling manifests in my stomach as I watch her leave.

The internship has convened to a recreational building. I walk through the place. In one room, several people are messing around with instruments. My sister, Kristen, is here. Although my mom's leaving left me sad, I feel comforted seeing my sister. Someone asks me if I know how to play a certain song. I sit down at the drums. We mess around a bit. Dream ends.

I wake up

Cupcake

Dream 11/8/2017

I'm working at a company called QRS. It is a recycling center. I am doing the landscaping. I bring my cat, Tandy, and let him run around. I have to admit, I am very nervous that Tandy will run away or get run over by a large piece of equipment. I keep an eye on him.

I start by mowing a hill. When I am done, I need to walk over to the hill on the other side and grab a flat wooden board. Then, I need to completely cover the wood with cupcakes and lay it on the freshly mowed grass. Then, the girls, I think they are cheerleaders, will come and take the board with cupcakes and return it to their building. I do this. When I am done, the hill is completely covered with boards, which are covered in cupcakes.

I walk over to the building where a bunch of men are working. I plan on mowing this area now. A bunch of cardboard is covering the grassy area, so I move it. I then get a call from my mom telling me that she is going to pick me up and I need to finish what I am doing. I look around and try to figure which is the most important area to mow. I settle on the front yard but then a guy named Ben tells me to mow another area. As he wishes.

I start mowing the area that Ben wants me to, which is the hill that I first mowed, just further down. As soon as I start the mower and move forward, I run over something. I cut the engine. My cousin, Quinn, runs over from the main building. I look at the object that I hit. I looks like some kind of Maritime equipment. Quinn makes it to where I am. I apologize to him. I offer to pay for the object that I destroyed. He says that it's okay but I know it isn't. I can see on his face that he is upset.

Later that day, my family, including Quinn, and me are over at the barn where the cheerleaders took the cupcakes. I don't see any cupcakes though. Just a bunch of farm equipment. Quinn points to an area of woods and reminds me of seeing something scary there. He then walks me deep inside the barn and shows me a room. The room is scary. I feel a heaviness here. I'm unnerved. I tell Quinn that I once walked in here with the lights out and I was alone. I didn't notice it until now, but Quinn seems a bit sinister. Just in the way he is talking and the look in his eyes. He isn't completely there. Something isn't right.

When the sun has gone down, my mom and I need to return to the barn. Maybe we want to see the scary room again. We try to turn on the lights but are unable to. We walk to the circuit breaker and try the lights there. For some reason, the lights will not turn on. Dream ends.

Dancing With Ghosts

Dream 11/4/2017

Josh Cannon, the Youtuber from the channel "Dancing With Ghosts" and "The Overstimulation Station" and "Not Your Grandfather's Vlog," lives in the same apartment complex in which I live. I secretly want to become friends with him and we could hang out and maybe he would even let me be in his videos. Sometimes, I go to where I know he lives and just wait, hoping that he walks by. Does this make me a stalker? Probably.

I reach out to Josh in an email or text message. I tell him that I like his channel and that we live very close to each other and would he want to hang out sometime. He does. Dream ends.

I wake up

A Place of Retreat

Dream 11/3/2017

I meet with a tall, black man for lunch. He reminds me of Jackie Chiles from Seinfeld. When our meal is finished, we go our separate ways.

My family and I explore a museum. Each room in the building is different from the last. At some point, we get split up. Much of the time, I am on my own.

Later that day, I receive word that the man I had lunched with has died. I am reminded of my own mortality as I always am when this tragic part of life occurs. One moment we are here and the next we are just a memory.

I am told that I need to travel to Cholula hospital. The man that tells me this reminds me that it's an hours drive but he doesn't tell me which direction. I know it is either one way or the other so I chance it. I start driving, hoping that in an hour, I will notice a hospital. Twenty minutes after getting on the road, I notice some schoolmates in the car ahead of me. They start waving their hands frantically. I pull over. They tell me that I am going the wrong way, that Cholula hospital is the other direction.

I park my vehicle and walk home. When I see my mom, I tell her that we need to pick up my car. Dream ends.

I wake up

Nazis, Dolphins and Ghosts, Oh My!

Dream 11/2/2017

I don't know whether this is real life or a video game.

I'm inside a cathedral. The cathedral must be abandoned seeing as there is no rooftop and many of the walls are missing. In this place, with me, are many, many Jewish people. Down the road, not too far away, are Nazi's. They are hold up in a similar building as my own.

"The end is near," they tell me. "The Nazi's are coming," they tell me.

The Nazi's come. We do everything we can to hide. I look out to a vast desert and wonder if I can make it. The Nazi's are patrolling everywhere. Even if I tried to run toward the desert, they would surely see me and catch me and God only knows what they would do to me.

There is a boy and girl who take care of dolphins. They get in a boat and have the dolphins follow. They escape the Nazi's. They reach a land that is several days away. They have a shack over water for the dolphins to live. They have to rotate the dolphins from one end of the shack to the other. They do this several times a day.

One Nazi officer says that he will find these two who escaped. He uses something similar to Google Earth. He zooms in on somebody. To his disappointment, it is somebody different. The boy and girl are safe for now.

Near the shack is a building where a couple young boys live. They live at the top of the 3 or 4 story house. To get to them, you must climb a set of stairs and then a ladder leading to a trap door. When you open it, you find yourself in an attic similar to the one shown in the movie "Casper." The boys hang out the attic window overlooking the shack and the ocean. One boy jumps from the window and lands right in the canal in front of the shack. I jump as well, trying to land in the same spot, but instead, landing on land. I should be dead. I overhear the boy talking to the guy from the shack. "I don't want to work in that house anymore. I'm a good worker. If you hire me, you'll see," the boy says.

I go back to the attic. At the end of the room, I find a secret door that leads to a tiny storage space. I climb inside. A fat woman is walking around outside. I tell her, "hey, you should check this place out." She doesn't think she will fit. She tells someone else in the attic of how I wanted her to get inside the storage space but it's too small. They laugh at me.

My friends and I need to kidnap a certain child on an island near where we are. I'm unsure why this needs to happen. We travel to the island. It isn't far away. We point out the kid. We take him. Mission successful.

I tell my friend, Tim, about some ghost footage that I once saw of a ghost walking through a field. He has me look through a few kaleidoscopes. Inside, I can see footage of ghosts but it isn't the footage I was hoping to see. He gives me another kaleidoscope. I look into it. I see the footage of the female ghost walking across a field.

I am on a football field or near one. I use binoculars to scope out the action. I tell my friend, Tim, that I have never seen an actual football game before. Dream ends.

I wake up
