White Wedding

My sister is getting married, and I am in the wedding. We stay at a hotel the night before the big day. My dad and his side of the family is staying at the same hotel but are not there yet. Something I do causes the electricity in the building to go out. My dad arrives at that time. The person at the front desk cannot give them a room because of the lack of electricity. My dad and the rest of the family must travel back to their homes. I can sense my dad's anger with me.

The next day, we travel to a picturesque town where the wedding is taking place. On a bridge over a river is a giant banner with my sister and her fiance's face on it. Half of the placard has fallen into the water. It's the half that shows my sister's face.

At the wedding hall, I am getting dressed in my suit. My mom's side of the family arrives. I see my recently deceased grandma with them. I am in shock, but I find out that they hired someone to play my grandma for the day. Once I talk to my fake grandma, I can tell that it's someone else. She sounds like her, but her look is not the same.

I wake up

Swizzy

I'm in a hotel room. My family's here as well. Some of them are drunk. Our room is connected by a door to another hotel room where guests are staying. My sister, Kristen, has had too much to drink and is not making sense. She hears the strangers in the next room talking. She walks over to the connecting door and yells to them, "go tomorrow!" Her statement makes no sense. The rest of us laugh.

My sister, Morgan, has had a few drinks as well. She's buzzed. She tells me that the movie theater downstairs is playing a free movie for anyone who wants to see it. Morgan and I go downstairs to see the film. The theater is crowded, as is the case whenever something is free. The movie begins. The production company logo comes onto the screen. I notice the words JOY and PRAISE in the title. Morgan asks, "Is this a Christian movie?" Just then, a picture of Jesus appears on the screen. I turn around, and most of the people are leaving. Morgan and I go too, not because we don't love Jesus or Christianity but because our opinions of Christian movies are poor.

We walk down a sidewalk through city streets. Morgan is drunk by this point. She goes back to the hotel room, and I keep walking. I come across a store that sells electronics. I walk inside and look at the CDs and headphones. I want Bluetooth earbuds, but I check the price, and they are $4000.00.

Fire Starters

Dream 10/22/2017

I am either a volunteer fireman or a passerby trying to help. A hotel is on fire. I run in to help the clean up process. There is a strangeness surrounding this fire. The strange thing is it keeps happening. Someone, presumably an arsonist, keeps setting fire to the hotel.

After much of the clean up is finished, I stay and keep watch over the hotel. Near the dumpsters, I see four people, dressed in black (including their faces), jump the fence and run toward the hotel. I chase them throughout the hotels hallways and rooms but am unable to catch them. Dream ends.

The Hotel Bizarre

Dream 7/17/2017

     My family and I stay a few nights in a hotel. One night, I look up at the ceiling and see spiders and insects crawling everywhere. I yell for my sister. We grab the kids and leave our room. Running down the stairs, I notice bugs and spiders crawling all over the walls. I even see a snake slithering up the stairwell.

     We make it to the managers office. We sit down and tell him what a trash pit his hotel is. He looks to me to hear my side of the story. "Well, I've see about three snakes just from our room to here," I say. He looks bewildered. I point behind him at a green snake moving across the room. While we talk, I look over and notice the kids running around, playing in the lobby. I only count four when there should be five. Anna, the second youngest, is missing from the picture. I leave my sister and brother-in-law to talk with the manager while I locate Anna. I walk down some stairs to the floor below. I think I've spot her. I pick her up. It isn't her. It is a boy, wearing a hood with his face painted like a skull. A lady walking by tells me that she has seen Anna. I locate and find her and bring her back to the managers office. When we get there, the meeting has finished.

     I follow my family up to the roof of the hotel where we find a swimming pool. We are the only ones here except for a beautiful blonde woman sitting off to the side, talking on her phone. As we walk past her, I try to make eye contact so that she notices me. In my mind I think that maybe she will find me attractive and then come over to start up a conversation. My family and I sit in some chairs around a table. Out of nowhere, the ladies phone plops into my lap. I look over. She is still sitting in her original spot. I walk her phone back to her. As I come closer, I notice she is wearing a long, brown, leather coat. I hand her phone back to her. She then speaks to me, "some people think that my coat is really my skin." She then turns to show me her back. Sprawled across her back are etched letters. The bizarre aspect is that the letters are bloody. I now understand that her coat really is her skin. At this moment, we leave the hotel. Dream ends.

The Wilderness Trip

Dream 5/16/2016

My friend, Sam, is on a trip to the wilderness in the east United States.

I'm playing Minecraft in a hotel room with my friend Derek. I call Sam to see how his trip is going. He tells me that he killed a snake and kept it's bones for decoration. I am now in a car with Sam. I see the snake bones dangled from his rear view mirror. I ask him if he killed it himself, he dances around the answer. I ask him how he skinned it, did he use the hot water theory or the cold ice theory.

I am now back in the hotel room. Derek is now on the trip with Sam. They are on a bus. we are all on the phone together. Derek says, "Keith from Louisiana wants to know if we would want to play Minecraft or watch some movies. Sam answers, "me." Dream ends.

I wake up

Popcorn

Dream 2/5/2016

     I'm out on the town with some friends when I see two girls from my church walk into a Michael's. I leave my friends to pursue the girls. I spot them in a checkout line which is really a "check in" line because the Michael's is actually a movie theater. I say hi to the girls. They don't seem to care. They are very heavy set and not very attractive. One of them is prettier than the other. I don't know if I am pursuing her because I'm slightly attracted to her or because I feel that she has no friends and I feel sorry for her. They buy a ticket for a movie called, "Pilgrim." I've never heard of it but I buy a ticket as well.

     I buy a tub of popcorn, because you can't very well watch a movie without a buttered tub of popcorn. I walk into the theater. It's big and crowded. One of those theaters that you used to see a lot more of, the one with a balcony and a ton of chairs. I walk down one aisle but I don't see them. I start down another when I spot them in the back. I sit with them. They don't seem pleased. The movie starts. It's a cartoon but boring as hell. I can see why I never heard of it. All we need now is angry moviegoers throwing buttered popcorn at the screen.

     The girls invite me back to their place. They are having a bunch of people sleepover. On the way there they talk about video games they play. The games they are talking about are twenty years old, it's as if they haven't discovered the newer PS4 or XBOX1. We get to their house and it is a mansion. It looks like a fancy hotel. The girls have four swimming pools in their bedroom. One pool for each sibling. I am in shock. This was a surprise ending. Dream ends.

Coffee Cravin'

Dream 3-14-14

My friend Ryan and me are staying in a hotel.

We're in the mood for some coffee. We decide to go find a coffee shop or Starbucks and quench our desire. But before we go get some coffee, we must get some coffee. We stop at the hotel coffee dispenser.

I throw in some espresso and coffee, top it with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup and nuts. 

A nerdy guy is here. He's telling us what we should and shouldn't put in our coffee. Every time we put something in that he disapproves of, he reprimands us. Ryan and I quietly look at each other as if to say, "this guy is really annoying."

Finally, I turn around, put my hand on the nerdy guy's shoulder and say, "I think we're good here, thank you." The man walks away. Dream ends

I wake up.

Jailbird

Dream 2-6-14

A friend and me are in a toy store. Walking down one of the aisles, we decide to scale the store shelves and climb into the ceiling. My friend goes first. He climbs the toy shelf and successfully makes it. My turn. I climb the toy shelf and just as I'm about to pull myself up into the ceiling, the tile comes loose and I fall down into the toys, knocking over the shelf.

The employees of the store come and tell me that I have to pay a vacations worth of money for the damage that I caused. I don't argue. I just pay it.

Now I am a criminal. The authorities are after me everywhere I go. They're chasing me. In this city, there are many hotels. I walk into one and head toward the elevators. I press the "up" button. Ding. I get into the elevator and press the 47th floor.

I am now on the top floor. The cops are just minutes behind me. I must find an escape. I find a door to the outside. I walk onto the roof of the hotel. I am 47 stories above the city. Just as the cops get to me, I jump. I now have a parachute, I pull it and glide toward the ground of another hotel. In a James Bond-like manner, I land on the sidewalk, take off the parachute and brush myself off. 

I walk into another hotel to the front desk. I purchase a room for the night. They give me a room. I make my way up to the sixth floor where my room is. In the lobby on the sixth floor is a restaurant, in fact, there are restaurants on every floor. I get to my room and finally feel comfort that no one knows where I am.

I now have a friend with me. An accomplice. Julia Roberts.

Julia and I walk aimlessly through the hotel. For no reason, we just walk. We come to a buffet on one of the floors. I steal a roll. I feel bad for stealing, so I pay the cashier. He says I gave him more money than the roll is worth, so I can take some more food. I take another roll. I come to a sandwich buffet where there are several options for meat, cheese and bread. I grab a handful of meat, followed by a handful of cheese, then I grab two pieces of rye bread and finish it off. I eat the sandwich as me and Julia wander the hotel. 

The cops find out where I'm staying. They come for me. As they make it to the sixth floor where my room is, I walk out the front door to a black Cadillac where I find Julia. I get into the car and Julia and I drive off never to be seen again. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Hotel

Dream 12-20-13

I'm in a hotel.

 I don't know which floor I am on, but I know it's not the first floor. At one end of the hallway, down on the right, is my home. That is also where my mom lives. At the other end of the hall is a food court, on both sides. Lining the left side of the hallway wall, on the other side of my house, are four restaurants that have gone out of business. One of the four restaurants is actually a bar that my friend Joel once performed in. Joel is a musician. He is also visiting today.

Joel and I walk down to my house so he can see my mom. While we are there, I tell him that he once played in the bar down the hall. He becomes very quiet and gets emotional. I walk with him down to the bar. We stand in the doorway and reminisce. In a flash, Joel walks out of the bar and goes to one of the buffets in the the food court.

Joel meets the man who owns the bar. The owner gives us the dime tour of his bar. He shows us all the bands and artists pictures on the wall. I remember seeing Gene Simmons from KISS. He mentions that he printed all of these posters out of his computer which is a very old model that would never have the ability to do such a thing. I don't know if he is kidding or not.

Joel and I and a few other friends who just appeared walk back down to the food court. We stand in line to the buffet. Joel mentions that this man in a few minutes is going to turn on the music and that he is going to dance. One by one each of us says aloud, "I'm gonna dance too." In the line to the buffet, one of the cooks asks, "what can I get for you." I respond, "just a roll please." she says in a rude manner, "this is a buffet, you can't just get a roll." I'm a little setback. I answer, "damn.. okay then." She starts to put a bunch of food on my plate. Across the room are friends that I hung out with years before. They are drenched with water. I don't say anything to them. They walk away.

-

Things change quite rapidly. Almost like a different story. The man in charge (whoever that is) tells one of us to kill the other (I'm not included in this mess). So, three of us step into an elevator that is in the bar, and place a plastic clothes bin on our head. Suddenly we are not in the elevator but rather in the shallow waters of the ocean on a beach. One of my friends says to the other, "you need to drown, that's what the man told me to do." We eventually come to the conclusion that no one is going to die today. We throw off the plastic clothes bin and look around. We know the man in charge is on the beach making sure the job gets done, however, he isn't on this part of the sand, so we run. My friends find a van and get in it, however, some things in this story change.

-

My friends drive away, but we are no longer on a beach, we are in a hallway with wooden floors. I am a normal sized person and my friends are itty bitty. They are driving a hot wheels car. We have miles of hallway to go before we get back to the hotel lobby. Spread across every hallway floor are toys, mostly other hot wheel cars but also other toys. My friends keep driving. I run behind them. Someone mentions that the man in charge and his goons are behind us in his own car. He isn't in sight, I just hope we can keep the speed and never see him. I close doors as we go, so to slow the bad man down. We come to a bathroom and the car stops. "Look at that," someone says. Behind the toilet is a giant black spider. I get my friends out of the van they are in and rush down the hall to find another hot wheels car. I find one that opens from the top. It looks like a fast car. They get in. They start to drive. It is a fast car, so fast that I can't even keep up. They drive out of sight. All I can hear is the buzz of the little engine in the distance. Dream ends.

I wake up.

The Murder

Nightmare 6-3-13 

I'm in a hotel room sitting with another boy. His heart is full of evil. There are a couple of kids here as well. The evil boy starts to rape one of the kids. I grab the children and run. We escape the room and make it through the hallway to the elevator. In the downstairs lobby, I wait for the boy with evil in his heart. The elevator doors open, and I walk toward him. I start to beat him senselessly. I punch him time and time again. There is blood covering him, me, and the lobby floor. I take one last look at him. I think he is dead. I don't feel bad for what I've done. Dream ends.

I wake up.
