A Whiter Shade

Dream 9.22.2018

           I'm staying inside a house that is haunted. The owner of the house tells me that wherever a person goes inside the house to do an activity, a ghost will appear. I find this to be true, especially in the upstairs family room.

          The ghosts become hostile. I run outside and down the street and realize the neighborhood is a ghost town. Nobody is here but me. There is a house near the end of the road. I feel that I need to get inside. There doesn't seem to be a front door to this house. I climb up onto a boulder and eventually reach a window. When inside, I realize that this house belongs to a family that went to my high school. They return home to find me inside. They don't seem to be unnerved by it.

          One of the daughters, Lindsey and I, try to solve the haunting, whatever that means. We grab some miscellaneous objects and run out into a snowy field. Dream ends.

Chills and Thrills

Dream 2/9/2018

I am working at a nursing home. It is pitch black at night, and I am scared. The next day, I quit.

A few friends and I walk across a snow-laden field. On the other side, we find and kill four teenagers. We cross the area back to our home. We hope that we are not detected by the police.

An ocean lies near our house. My mom and I swim around the sea. She tells me about someone she passed in the water, which was drowning. When we swim that direction, we see a lifeguard saving the man's life. The ocean is only 50 yards long. Hotels are lining the other side of the water.

We walk down a beach on the other side. My brother-in-law points toward the horizon where fireworks are exploding in the night sky. Down the beach is a thrill ride. Two giant swings that hold around twenty people each are lifted back and then released. It's similar to Skyhawk at Cedar Point. We watch as the two swings go back and forth. One swing gets out of control and almost crashes into the side beam.

We find our seats on the swing. As we wait, I sing Rainbow Connection. The ride is just about to start, and I realize that my belt is not buckled. As the countdown begins, I race to get strapped in correctly, so I don't die. I can't remember anything else that happens next. I can't even remember the thrill. Dream ends.

I wake up

Flatlined

Dream 9/18/2017

A group of boys from my school (a few grades below me) have all been killed. I am unsure if it was an accident or murder. One of the boys is the cousin of my friend, Derek. I come to school the next day. Derek is furious and upset. I've never seen him like this. The school calls all of the student body into the gymnasium. They discuss what happened and try to console us.

I walk out of the school. It is night and snow has covered the ground. I walk out to the student parking lot. Today, I have driven my large front-loader to school. I climb up into the loader and turn it on. I have trouble controlling it especially the bucket on the front. I accidentally drive forward and clip another persons vehicle. I get out to check the damage. The person has a small front-loader. No damage was done.

I drive down the road but have so much trouble controlling the machine. The bucket goes up and down and turns up and down. It is as if the machine is running itself. I drive down a road to a dead end. I turn around and go the other way. Dream ends.

Ski Accident

Dream 6/5/2017

I'm skiing with a friend down some crazy, snow laden hills. We come to an area with a lake. On the other side of the lake are several buildings. On this side of the lake are a bunch of rolling hills. We jump each of them. At one point, my friend jumps a small hill. When he lands something breaks in his leg. He is badly hurt. I try to help him up but he almost slides down the hill into the icy, cold lake water..

I decide to use my superpowers which is flight. I have wings like an angel. I fly fast over the lake to the buildings on the other side which happens to be a hospital. I make it to the hospital. I run through the halls trying to find someone who can help. I end up running into my dialysis doctor and I tell him what had happened. He along with a few others run to the helicopter just outside. While they fly to the other side of the lake in the helicopter, I fly to the other side with my angelic wings. I fly fast to catch up to them. When I make it back to my friend with the hurt leg, they have already landed and are aiding him. They put him in the helicopter and fly him back to the hospital. I don't return with them. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Blizzard

Dream 3/2/2017

     My mom and I go out for a drive on a harsh winter night. A blizzard has recently made its way through our town and left snow covering the roads.

     I think my mom wants to do some Christmas shopping so I point out a store that I see called "Parents, Have You Been Good?" It sounds like a Christmas store to me. My mom doesn't want to shop there. We drive to an office instead. Creed Bratton from "The Office" and from the band "The Grass Roots" works here. On most of the computers in the workplace, the desktop contains files having to do with the state of Texas. The files are named "All About Texas," "1000% Texas," and other files that hint at the idea of visiting or moving to the lone star state.

     Mom and I drive around the back of the office following a road that is hard to see. It's clear that no snow plows have been through here. The only way to read the road is from previous car tracks. We go up onto a hill. At the bottom of the hill is a giant lake. As we start to descend the hill, our car starts spinning out of control. We come closer and closer to the lake until BAM! We are in it. Very quickly our truck is submerged in water.

     We travel back in time to where we were at the office with Creed Bratton. We are outside the office in the back walking through the snow. Creed starts singing a song to the melody of those old Dominoes buffalo wings commercials. "Gotta be! gotta be! Dominoes! buffalo wings!" Dream ends.

I wake up.

Running Scared

Dream 8/29/2015

I'm in a drive-thru at a fast food restaurant with my cousin, Deeje.

It's winter. Snow has blanketed the ground. Three strangers walk up to my truck. I suspect that they have had too much to drink or are on pills because one of them sticks his head in my window while the other two laugh about it. I push him out and try to drive forward. They start  throwing snowballs at me and my cousin. Snow and water drench the interior of my truck. My anger becomes too much to restrain. I rev my engine. They act like they're scared. I take off in their direction and run over the youngest of the three. He isn't dead, just badly injured.

I get scared. I fear that I am going to prison for a long time. My cousin and I forget our food and take off.

Suddenly, there is no more snow. Suddenly, we are no longer in our truck but on foot. We pass a nice sea food restaurant. Everybody knows its the best in town. Deeje says that he sees somebody that he knows in there. We enter the restaurant. I'm still afraid to be caught for my crime. Deeje finds his friends and talks with them. They are four elderly people. Deeje runs into the girls bathroom and locks it. I say, "what are you doing, having your period in there?" Then, out of the blue, Walter Matthau walks past me toward the mens room. He mumbles something as he goes but I can't make it out. Dream ends.

Without a Name

Dream 1-28-14

I am in my old house in Middletown, Indiana. It's a small one story home on two beautiful acres of countryside. This is the house in which I grew up.

Today we got a puppy. He is white with black spots all over. He doesn't have a name. Somebody leaves open the door to the outside. The puppy gets out. We all run to search for him. It is winter so snow is covering the ground. I grab my bicycle and start down the country road. The snow has an effect on my tires and slows me down. However, I make it into town. The town is so far away from my house that first of all I don't know how I made it here and secondly I know the dog didn't come this far, but never-the-less I start calling his name, which I don't know. 

-

I am now at my sisters house in Jeffersonville, Indiana. I walk into the house to find my family dead but somewhat still alive. It's confusing. A little doll named Chucky starts to chase me. I run out of the house. I run down the block to the rich guys house but he's too busy flying his private airplane. I run back to my sisters house and suddenly I'm more concerned about finding the lost dog with no name than running from a killer doll. I walk the streets calling his name which once again, I don't know. Dream ends.

I wake up.

The Exploration

Dream 1-27-14

I'm back in my old high school in Anderson, Indiana. I'm in one of the classrooms down the senior hallway. The teacher has decided to show a film. The lights are down and the lights from the television screen dimly light the room. I can't be sure of what the movie is about. I sneak out of the room. 

I walk the halls. I see my old friend Cyrus walking toward me. We catch up.

Suddenly, a few of my classmates and me are in the film that was shown in the classroom. 

It's action packed. Their is snow everywhere. We are explorers in a new place. We stumble upon something out of the ordinary. A very large pole the size of a skyscraper is laying down. One side is on the same ground that we walk on and the other is up on a cliff. So the pole moves up. Attached to the pole is a ladder and a rope. So, we begin to climb.

One after the other we make our way up the pole to the cliff. Me and a friend are in front. We make it close to the top when I notice that next to the pole just under the cliff is a giant head made out of stone, much like Mt. Rushmore. The only difference is this head has powers. I reach out to the head and become one with it. I am now the head.

Everyone is still making their way up the pole. The friend who was just behind me falls. We are so high up that he will die if he hits the ground. Me being the size of Mt. Rushmore, I bring my giant stone arms up out of the mountain cliff and grab my friend before he hits the ground. I raise him up in my giant stone hands and place him on the cliff.

I separate myself from the head. I am now my normal self again. I begin to make my way to the cliff when I slip and fall. I fall hundreds of feet to my death. The color red fills the screen and I respawn. 

I am now hundreds of yards away from the pole. I see it in the distance. My friends have all made it to the top. I start to make my way back towards them. I am far behind. I hear a very deep and loud thump! I keep walking. I make it to the pole. I climb the pole. I make it to the top. At the top, I find a slide that goes from the top of the mountain cliff to the ground below and even below that. I decide to slide. 

I slide hundreds of yards, through the ground and when I come out on the other side I fly right into the side of a van that is parked at the end. Thump! I pick my body up off the ground. My friends are out of sight. 

Then out of nowhere, I see my old friend Cyrus. We catch up. Dream ends.

I wake up.

The Fathers House

Dream 10-1-13

My sister and I are walking through a patch of wooded area. A wild river runs through these woods. Snow has covered the ground and the trees. All of a sudden, a family on a raft come plowing through the river. We think to ourselves, "this is strange, it is winter, why would they be rafting in the winter?" Their raft gets caught on a patch of ice. They ask for our help. I walk down and get the raft unstuck. They thank us. 

-

Suddenly we are in a cabin. We get to know the family that we just helped. We talk about our careers. Everyone in their family is a doctor. They ask me what I am. I'm too embarressed to say. I tell them that I am going into ministry. They say that they are christians as well. My sister asks what church they go to. They say, "Casa De La Padre." My sister says how shes heard that is such a great place. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Hot Water In Mother Russia

Nightmare 5-28-13 

I find myself in prison. I don't think its America. It looks like Russia. I am led down a hall to where the cell blocks are. I overhear a prison guard say that they are going to throw me into a vat of boiling water. (why do I always find myself in these kinds of situations.) There is only one guard here now. I attack him. I don't know if he is dead. I take his rugged clothes. I wear his dirty hat. I escape warning the others of what they mean to do. Somehow I make it outside into the bitter snow. Out of nowhere, I have a gun. The gun doesn't shoot lead bullets. These bullets are snowballs. Dream ends.

 - 

I'm escaping from an unknown building. There are many of my friends on a porch cheering me on. This is real. I jump from tree to tree, launching myself toward the ocean. I make it to the sea. I think I am safe. The devil is now calling me out, not with words but rather waves. The waves aren't coming from the ocean, they are coming from the house. I duck behind a dock. The first wave crashes into the pier. I am soaked. Another wave comes. I duck for cover. Enough of this. I make a run for it toward the house. I think the attacks are over. My friends on the porch point out that something is chasing me. I look behind me and find that a ferocious cougar is chasing me. I run as fast as my legs will carry me. He is gaining on me. I make it to the porch. Dream ends.

I wake up.
