OIL!

Dream 8/27/2017

I am a fisherman. My friend Tim, the captain of this fine ship, is taking the fishing vessel back to harbor. When we get there, I see my dad and my uncle standing on shore. He has come to pick me up from work. Before the boat comes to a complete stop, I jump onto the dock but notice that I am attached to a chain on the boat. I quickly jump back onto the boat to unchain myself. It takes a very long time.

The next thing I remember is waking up underground. Something big has happened but I am not sure of what. At some points underground I am being carried and at other points I am walking on my own. One thing is for sure, I was in some sort of accident. I overhear my mom say that my uncle and cousin were killed while looking into a well of oil. The experience was too much for them to handle. My mom laughs while telling me this.

I am brought to a hospital which is on a train. I feel like I am dying. The nurses start me on an IV and I begin to feel drowsy.

I wake up on the moving train but I am the only person on board. Somehow, I am given information. Maybe I've heard it on a radio or TV. The information is this. Downtown, a large oil geyser has erupted. Oil is shooting about thirty stories into the sky. Fire has come into contact with the geyser and set it ablaze. When I hear this information, I look out the window. Across the cityscape, I can see the geyser. It is so big. It takes my breath from me. What a sight to see.

The oil and fire are shooting fire balls randomly across the city. I stand at the back of the train and notice the balls of fire are inching their way toward me. One hits so close I can feel the heat. I know the next one will hit the train. I fall to the floor and curl up under a seat. The fire ball never hits. Dream ends

Portal

Dream 3/3/2015

Today is someone's birthday. It is a friend of my sister.

My sister's friend lives in France. Many people from my her class show up along with a few from mine. One of my best friends is here, Tim.

We walk around the house. I stay close to my sister. I'm always uncomfortable in other countries because I don't know their culture and I don't want to offend anyone with something that seems normal in mine.

I catch Tim and start a conversation with him. I ask him, "how is it that we were all able to afford this trip to France, after all, we just had a school field trip to Germany last week." Tim responds, "well, my family can afford it because we're rich but I don't know how yours came up with the money." He starts to explain to me that their is one class in high school that you must pass with flying colors or else you will be a deadbeat for the rest of your life.

It's around this time in the conversation that I notice that I am in a different place entirely. The place I am in looks like the motherboard of a computer. I wonder around a bit. It's huge. I'm like a small flea on a gigantic motherboard. I notice something strange. Just inside many of the doorways is a glossy film. I can't tell what it is. I walk and walk (I find I do this in a lot of my dreams). I just keep on walking. I walk until the sounds of life are far behind me.

I enter a room where a homosexual man is standing. He is attracted to me. He wants me. But I do not want him in that way. I run. He chases me. I run into a room the size of an auditorium. To the left of me is a playground slide. I climb onto it and lie down so that he doesn't see me. I hope he thinks that I just kept running and passes me by. I hear the door open. Silence at first and then I hear a thumping on the slide. I jump up and start running down the slide, only this is not a normal slide. It splits off into many paths and goes every direction. I pick one. It takes me to a factory where toys are made. I leave the slide and run. I just keep running. I turn corners and take doors in this gigantic maze. Anything to lose this guy behind me. I get so lost I know that he won't find me.

I come to a ramp that leads up to a glossy film. I know now that the film is a portal to another place. I run to it but it doesn't let me through. Instead, the floor starts to raise. One side and then the other. Sort of like a backwards 'Jacobs ladder.' A radio show comes on the intercom. The DJ's run a commentary on my situation. The floor keeps moving. One side raises and I run to that side, the other side raises and I run to that side. I am being lifted high into the air. Eventually it stops. In front of me is a portal. I jump through it.

I find myself in a large, dark room with many beds. The only light in the room is coming from a movie being played on the wall, via projector. But I'm the only one here. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Ape Escape

Dream 2/20/14

I'm back in my old childhood home in Middletown, Indiana. 

I have an ape. He tears up the house. I don't want the house to be a mess so I put him outside in a dog kennel. Inside the kennel is a radio. I hope he doesn't destroy it. The ape immediately climbs out. I get scared and run back to the house. I don't want him to eat my face off. He's now outside running wild.

My mom comes home. She asks me why the ape is running loose outside. I tell her that I tried to put him in the dog kennel but he climbed out within a second. I then tell her that I ran back to the house because I wanted to keep my face intact. Dream ends.
