The Conference

Dream 6/29/2017

I'm at some sort of conference. The building is bustling with people dressed up in costume. I walk through a gymnasium to a door at the far end. Chevy Chase is standing in the door. Later on, I walk into, what I believe is, a coffee shop. A deep sense of fear washes over me as I notice that everyone in here is dressed as satanists wearing dark hoods and scary masks. I tell the girl who I am with that I am unnerved.

In a large stadium, thousands of young adults, dressed as colorful clowns, sit and listen to a man speak. I am sitting with my friends, Korie and Tim. We are talking a bit too loudly during the mans speaking. He points us out and splits us up. We have to sit in different places now. I exit the building and walk to a second stadium where yet another speaking engagement is being held. I sit on the outside where I can still hear.

A lady psychologist calls me over to a group. I sit in a circle with others my age. The lady asks me what school I went to as a boy and then assumes a local school in which I've never heard. I tell her that I went to Liberty in Anderson, Indiana. I tell her that it was a private school. She asks another question. I start talking to her and the group about my blog called "Sleep Talk" which is a documentation of nightly dreams. I feel that the group is bored with my talking. Dream ends.

I wake up.  

Plane Crash

Dream 1/4/2015

A parade is coming through my neighborhood today. 

     It's being put on by the local elementary school students. I leave my mom, who is with me, and run ahead to see the rest of the festivities. 

     I run into some friends who I haven't seen in a long while, Phil and Jake. I stand around talking for a bit. Jake tells me that he has recently been to Sri Lanka and discovered that an avalanche will soon be coming to the country. He sounds regrettable about the whole thing. 

     As we continue in our conversation, something catches my attention out of the corner of my eye. I give my full attention to it. It's a plane falling from the sky! Tumbling down through the air until it hits the earth. BOOM! A large explosion comes. Everyone is startled. Panic ensues. I look up to find many objects falling all around. People run in every direction.

     The only thought that comes to my mind is my mom. I run back toward the direction in which I left her, covering my head so not to be injured from the falling debris. I look up and run forward. Look up and run forward. I see her in the distance. Our eyes meet. We find each other, neither of us is harmed.

     We make it back to our house and find our way to the basement. We figure we'll be safe there. A though begins to build in both our minds. My sister and her four kids were out to McDonald's when the plane crash happened. Is she alright? As soon as silence fills the outside air, we leave in search for my sister.

     We get to McDonald's and see her car. It's empty. We search the area until finally we see her. She steps out of a friends car along with her four kids. They are safe. Dream ends

Prom Night

Dream 10/31/2014

It's prom night.

     This prom night is dedicated to my friends parents because they are dying of cancer.

     The way it works tonight is the guy stands by the right side of the entrance and a girl who wants to be with him for the night goes and stands by the left side. The guy then takes the girls arm and they walk inside.

     It's my turn to see what girl I end up with. My fear is that nobody will choose me. I stand by the right side of the entrance and wait. Silence. Eventually a girl named Katy comes and stands by the left side. I take her arm and we walk inside to prom.

     Now inside, we're walking around aimlessly. We find where couples are getting their pictures taken. We step in front of the camera. I pull Katy to me and hold her tight. Some of the other couples hoot and holler. As we walk away, my friend James says, "what happened to the guy I knew at the Honor Academy?" (an internship I attended from 2008-2009) I respond to him, "I think he's still back at the HA."

     Katy and I trek to the front of the auditorium. It's the size of four football fields. It takes us forever but we finally get there. At the front of the auditorium, a Broadway play is being performed. I guess Katy gets bored because now she wants to walk to the back of the auditorium. She walks ahead of me. 

I lay down on the floor, get up and walk to the back.

     I find Katy in a little open room with graffiti covering the walls. I notice one of the sayings on the wall has my name in it. I sit down with her. She looks upset. I try to hold her but she pulls away. She says, " I'm mad at you because I graffiti'd this wall for you and you didn't even notice." I'm dumbfounded. Where did she get the spray paint. I respond, "I didn't even know that this was you who did this." She's not satisfied with my response so she gets up and walks away. I only have one lingering thought running through my head, women are crazy. Dream ends

The Demon Hunter

Dream 10/28/2014

     I'm running around the city at night when I get a call from Brian Warner, aka Marilyn Manson. He tells me that he needs help. A blue, ghost-like mist creature with a grandma voice, his words, is following him. 

The reason he is calling me for help is because my friend Sam is a demon hunter. More of a charity. People call him for help and he goes and murders the demon that is trying to murder the voice on the other side of the phone.

     So I start running toward Sam and I call him as well. He picks up the phone. I tell him that Marilyn Manson called and he needs his help. As I'm talking to Sam, I look behind me and notice a blue, ghost-like mist following me. I increase my speed. 

     I know where Marilyn is staying. I'm about to pass his place but I don't stop because I have a sneaking suspicion that he is possessed by now. As I pass I look. You know in the Exorcist after the girl with the demon inside of her kills the one priest and the other priest is watching her. She is sitting up on her knees throwing her arms in the air and growling into the sky, that's what Marilyn was doing, so incidentally, I kept running. 

     Eventually, I find Sam on a beach near a bridge. We start going over the game plan. He tells me that he wishes he would've given more of his business cards out to people. Dream ends

Oil Owl

Dream 10/25/2014

     I've graduated. Whether it's high school or college, I have no idea, but I've graduated. The class has dinner together as a final farewell. One of our teachers, Gwen Stefani, comes and sits with us. My friend, Tim, and Gwen really get along. I'm jealous. I strike up a conversation with her. I ask her where she is from. She tells me that she is from a small beach community in California. I try to tell her how I would love to live near a beach but all of a sudden Tim interrupts me as if I had nothing interesting to say. He and her start talking again.

     It's time to go home. Home for me is in Indiana and although I don't know exactly where I am, it's most likely Oklahoma or northern Texas. Tim and I have motorcycles. My friend Derek is riding with me and Tim is driving a few girls home. Where does he get all the luck? I check out both of the bikes. My bike is a MANUAL 3. Tim's bike is an OIL OWL. Without further ado, we start the long ride home. Dream ends

Farrow

Dream 10/25/2014

     Today at Liberty, we are fighting. We assemble in the gym to watch the fighting commence. I'm paired up with a big, black guy named Derek. He doesn't like me and he isn't shy about it. He talks about how he's going to pound my face in.

     I sit up in the bleachers and wait my turn to fight. Derek is on the gym floor watching the other fights close up. He is wearing a black hat and a black hooded sweatshirt with letters in red reading, "FARROW." I have no idea what farrow means but I know that I'm up next to fight.

     Derek and I face each other with intensity. All of a sudden, I blackout. I wake up to an empty gym, except for three guys, one of whom is Derek. He helps me up. The three guys and I quickly enter into a game of leapfrog. Dream ends

Slumber Night

Dream 10/15/2014

I'm over at a friends house watching movies. I think I'm the only boy here. One of the girls and I are together. We cuddle on the floor in front of everyone, including her mom. Her sister says, "ok, you guys gotta break it up." We separate. 

While we watch TV, Edward Scissorhands walks through the front door. He doesn't say anything. He's probably confused. Did you walk through the wrong front door again, Ed? He realizes his mistake and walks out but doesn't leave. He stands by the window and looks in. A school bus drives by behind him. I hear Gollum's voice coming from outside. Dream ends

The Honor Academy

Dream 9/19/2014

    From 2008 to 2009 I attended a christian internship at Teen Mania Ministries called The Honor Academy. In the years following, I have had countless dreams about possibly returning. Lately I have dreamt that I have returned and all of my friends that I knew there welcomed me back. The dreams are so vivid and real that when I wake up, I almost have to convince myself that it was a dream. I believe these dreams are spiritual messages from God but I don't know the meaning. I don't feel like God wants me to return to the HA, my time there is finished, but what He is trying to tell me, I'm not quite sure. Maybe time will tell. Dream ends
