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.

Senioritis

Dream 6/2/2017

It's my senior year of high school and I don't care anymore.

A teacher has asked me to write an essay. The topic of the essay is my choice. I decide to write about my love of writing and particularly my blog called Sleep Talk. I begin the essay. At the top left of the page I write my name "Keith Laverty," although the middle name I use is strange. At the top right of the page I write the teachers name "Mr. Keith Smith." The teacher walks into the room and tells me that I am using the wrong lined sheet paper. I ask a friend if I can borrow the correct type of paper. He gives me a sheet of the exact type that I was using before. I use it anyway.

In my essay I write about how I have many of the same dreams and then how my dreams have evolved. For example, when I use to dream about high school, the dream was almost always about me forgetting to do some important math homework. Now when I dream about high school, the dreams have evolved into a plot in which I don't know what class I am supposed to attend.

I never hand in the essay. Dream ends.

I wake up.

The Oracle

Dream 5/31/2017

Several classmates and me are inside a compound. The place looks like the chocolate room in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory but on the outside. At one end of the compound is a tower. The tower is gated off. At the top of the tower lives the oracle.

Without any warning, the gate to the tower opens. Everybody notices it. We feel as if we are being summoned by the wise old woman at the top of the tower. A friend of mine, Jordan, walks toward the gate and mentions something about Wolfgang Halbig and Sandy Hook. I tell him that I agree.

We climb the stairs of the tower until we reach the door to the oracle. We knock. The oracle answers but does not open the door. We tell her that the gate has opened. She tells us there has been some mistake. We beg her to let us in. Everybody is talking at one time and it is hard for her to hear us. I look through a crack in the door and see her eyes and I ask her if she will let us inside. The door opens. We all walk into the oracles room. Then when we are all inside, a little black girl, at the end of the line, tries to climb over the door but falls backwards outside the room. The oracle walks out to see if she is hurt. The girl is fine. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Lorna Doone

Dream 5/30/2017

One night after work, I decide to drive away. I travel east of Indianapolis for about two hours. At one point, I look out my left window and see a giant city full of neon lights. For some reason I feel like the city is called "Lorna Doone." At this point in the drive I turn around and go back home.

I am obsessed with the city that I saw. I look it up on google but cannot find it. I check out maps but cannot find it. I tell my family about it. We try to figure out what city lies two hours east of Indianapolis but cannot find the answer.

At a gathering, a couple of family friends walk up to me crying and tell me they are sorry for my current health predicament. One friend, Seth, tells me that I have to stop biting my finger nails because that could be the reason behind my health issue. Even during the gathering, I can't stop thinking about that hidden city. It crosses my mind that the city could be Cincinnati but I'm still not sure. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Strange Occurrences

Dream 5/27/2017

My mother and I have returned to my childhood home to live. She is upset. I ask her about where we are going to live because at this moment we own two homes. She tells me that we are going to live here although she doesn't want to because she feels that my dad will hunt her down and kill her.

The living room is quite empty except for a few boxes and bookshelves. I place my many books on the shelves to give them some personality. I walk through the house to find more books. When I return, I find that all of the shelves are broken and the books have fallen through. I ask my mom what happened. Annoyed, she tells me that it broke when I was playing with it. I explain to her that I wasn't playing with it but actually just putting my books onto it.

I tell my mom that I am going to work on my room. I haven't seen my room in years. It's a small room but comfortable. I walk into my bedroom and find that the shelves in this room are broken as well. I attempt to fix the shelves so that I can put my books on them. I have three closets in this room. One of the walls in my room has been destroyed. I can see through to my closet even with the door closed. I notice the closet looks much bigger than it used to. I walk into the closet and find an additional section to this house that didn't exist before.

I walk into this room and find three rooms. They are one big room but three rooms within the one room. The largest room is a pool room with a hot tub in the middle. The two smaller rooms off the side are computer rooms that belong to my sisters. I notice that the water in the hot tub is running. Suddenly, I have the feeling that my house is haunted. I start walking back to the part of the house that my mom is located. As I leave the room, a stream of hot water starts to shoot at my from another part of the room. Now I know my house is haunted. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Euro-Trip

Dream 5/26/2017

My friends Phil and Jake and their family are taking a trip over to Europe. They have asked me if I want to come along. I say yes. I go home and pack my stuff and head to their house. On the way, I remember that I cannot go because I have dialysis three times a week. I cannot miss a treatment. When I get to their house I tell them that I cannot go. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Bicycle Blues

Dream 5/26/2017

I'm over at my sister and brother-in-law's house. At one moment, my brother-in-law starts being very rude to me. I throw a few expletives his way and storm out the door. I jump in my Jeep to leave but then decide to take a bicycle instead.

I ride the bike out of their neighborhood. At one point, I ride across a large patch of grass. It becomes too difficult and so I climb off the bike and walk the rest of the way. When I get to the road, I feel the tires to make sure they are aired up. They are flat. I try to think. My plan is to find a gas station and use one of their air pumps to air the tires back up.

As I ride on, I find myself in a large department store. Tables lines the floor and hundreds of people are here. It's some kind of convention or celebration. The man from the electric guitar Youtube video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiAwOW-nXIQ. He has created a new instrument, the piano-guitar. He is showing it off at the store. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Psycho Killers

Nightmare 5/26/2017

A group of students take a trip across the world to a foreign land. I am in this group.

While in this land, we come to a dead end road with an old, broken down house near the end. Those who live in this house greet us. They seem pleasant at first but quickly turn sinister. Some of the students who walk into the house find a shock near the back of the house when a large man with another face on his own chases them down with a chainsaw.

Somehow, myself and a handful of friends survive this hellscape and find our way across the ocean back home. When we arrive to our homeland, we are greeted by a group of people whom we don't know. Most of them are nice except four of them who are dressed in body bags. They don't speak, they just stare at us. I can't see their face outside the bag but I feel that I know them somehow. They are the killers from across the sea.

My friends and I run back to our families, who do not know we are alive. At this point it has been four years since we last saw them. We have been presumed dead for quite some time. Our families are in a giant outside play place, similar to the one you find in McDonald's. We run toward them and try to lose the psycho killers. Nightmare ends.

I wake up.

The Body

A Dream From The Past

A man similar to Jesse Pinkman - from Breaking Bad - walks into my work area. We are the only people here. For some unknown reason, we get into a fight and I kill him. I try to think quickly on how to hide the body. A man from the business next door comes over to talk or ask a question. I quickly throw a tarp over the body and try to hide it the best I can. Part of me thinks the man from next door saw the body. When the man leaves I dig a shallow grave and bury the body in the corner of a junkyard. The police are called. They come and search the premises. The body is found. I am handcuffed and dragged off to prison. Dream ends.

I wake up.

In & Out

Dream 5/18/2017

A couple of my friends and I sneak into a club for boys and girls in downtown Louisville. The club is the boy scouts except it is co-ed. We climb the gates and blend in with the other boys and girls. It is dinner time at the club so we step into the food line. As we get closer to the food, I notice that each club member is handing over an envelope to the cook. I suppose that is some kind of identification to verify they are true club members. The other two guys and I step out of line and walk into the main part of the building. One of my friends has to go to the bathroom. He sneaks upstairs and finds one. Both friends stay upstairs for an extraordinary amount of time.

I decide I am going to leave this place before I actually get caught. I go back to the gate that we climbed earlier and now there is barbed wire lining the top of it. From what I can tell, there is no way out. I grab a blanket and lie down on the floor where all the other club members are lying, watching a movie. My friends still have not returned from upstairs. I make the decision in my head that I will leave this place, one way or another, at 2:00 AM when everybody is asleep.

The TV in which the club members are watching breaks so they bring in another one. They put this TV on the other side of the room so their gazes are looking away from the gate. Since my friends haven't returned, I make the decision that it is time to leave. I find a way through the gate instead of over it. A CCTV camera has captured me leaving but I don't care.

Later, I come to find out that my two friends have sold me out. They took money in exchange for me. They were going to hand me over to the club authorities. Lucky I got out in time. Dream ends.

 I wake up.

The Starters

A Dream From The Past

I am on the varsity basketball team. Tonight is the championship game. My family is here. I want them to see me. I can't wait to play. My friend Tim's dad is the coach. He never plays me. Not once.

After the game, when the gymnasium is near empty, I sit on the bleachers sulking. The coach comes and sits next to me. He can tell that I am upset. He asks, "are you mad at me for not playing you?" I respond with a lie, "I'm not mad but..." I never finish my sentence. He never gives a reason for not playing me. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Monster 2

Nightmare 5/17/2017

There is a boy at my school who is the same age as me. Something is wrong with his brain. He is a little slower than most people. I come to find out that he once killed a person.

After school, I go over to the elementary building where my mom works. I have to wait for an hour for my mom to finish her work. While sitting in my mom's office, I see the boy with brain problems enter the office. At first, I am cautious and I talk with him, just a little, but then I realize that he is wildly dangerous. I run back to my mom's office and tell her that we have to go to the back room and call the police. We go to the back room. There is a window that separates the office from the back room. We can still see the boy.

I lock the door both on the doorknob, the deadbolt, and the chain lock, but the chain lock is flimsy, it probably won't do much good. The boy comes to the door and tries to get in. I remind my mom of how dangerous this situation is but she doesn't seem to understand. She keeps working. I think I see the boy holding a knife. We both try calling the police but neither of our phones has service. We move to the window in the room, trying to get just one or two bars. Eventually, the boy's mom comes in and calms the situation. Nightmare ends.

I wake up.

The Rustic Barn

Dream 5/15/2017

I am inside a barn. Several teenagers are here as well. We are hanging out on the second story of the barn. The floor is unstable. My friend, Gary, falls through the floor as he tries to sit down. He falls to the first floor. The entire middle part of the floor crumbles. A handful of teens are stuck on the other side while the rest of us are on the side with the stairs.

Some teachers and leaders come and hand out a paper to each of us. They then ask us to answer three short essay questions. I sit on the edge of the broken floor and answer the questions. The teachers say that when we are finished, we are to exit the barn and wait outside. As I write, I hear and see my friends stand up one at a time, hand in their paper and walk down the stairs. It gets harder and harder to finish my paper for I cannot remove my mind from how fast my friends are finishing. I want to be outside with them but I am too slow with this assignment. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Hells' Playground

A Dream From My Past

I enter a video game world, catapulted into the air, landing on a playground strewn with skeletons.

Beneath the equipment, I discover a box of supplies containing a bag of what appear to be bouncy balls, each marked with a white symbol. I toss one. Later, I learn these balls hold magic. Returning to where I threw the ball, I find more and collect them.

Near the playground, a cave looms. I step inside, and it feels like a portal to Hell. The cave floor is riddled with large holes, through which I glimpse monsters prowling below. Their moans and growls echo as I tread carefully to avoid falling. I step onto a portal, and it whisks me to another part of the cave.

After exploring, I return to the playground and sit at a picnic table. Others are cleaning the area, and I feel a twinge of guilt for not helping, though I lack the energy. Sitting there, I observe the scene. Bryan Cranston approaches a young woman, inviting her for a walk. They leave together. I decide to walk, too, heading toward the state of Washington. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Cinema Confusion

Dream 5/11/2017

My sister and me are watching a movie at the cinema. During the movie, Kristen, my sister, has to step out for a moment. I am unaware of where she has gone.

The movie that I'm watching is scary. I'm not sure whether or not it is considered a horror movie, but it scares me for some reason so I step out. Right outside of the theater is an arcade. I find my sister in the arcade. I tell her that I want to play some games but I need to find an ATM to get some cash and to first check my balance, to be sure I have enough money in the bank. My balance shows that I have $8,000.00 dollars in it. I have no earthly clue where that money came from. I even check my debit cart to be sure that it is mine. It is.

I exit the cinema, leaving my sister there by herself. I find my mom at home. She finds a movie ticket that says "Egypt 1." She asks if I saw the movie called "Egypt 1." I freak out and say no. I have no idea where that ticket came from. My mom and I get into the car and drive toward the movie theater to find my sister. At one point we make a wrong turn and drive down a dead end road. We turn back around. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Bigfoot Carnage

Dream 5/7/17

In Russia, my family is hunting Bigfoot.

We stay in a humble place, not nice but comfortable. An American man comes to my window. I let him in through the side door. He needs to speak to my dad. I think this man is the leader of a Bigfoot hunting team in which my family has joined.

We walk about town in silence. There is light snow covering the ground and streets. Nobody but our team is out in town. I assume it is late and most people are asleep.

We find a Bigfoot. It is unclear whether or not we catch or kill it. Walking down the street, I see that some members of the team have caught a baby Bigfoot. He is cute and tries hard to run away. His cries attract his angry mother. She crashes the party. I run but behind me I see and hear the members of our team being ripped apart. Dream ends.

I wake up.

The Prankster

Dream 4/3/2017

     My friend, Tim, and I plan on pranking the local cheerleading squad. Our plan is to sneak into the building and do a strange dance in front of the cheerleaders and their coach. The night comes when we are to do the prank. We walk into the building and the place is packed full of people. It looks more like a doctors office than a sports facility. We hide underneath a table in the waiting room. Several people in the waiting room see us but don't say a word about it. I tell Tim, "I didn't think there would be this many people here. I don't think I can go through with it." I back out. I leave the building but Tim continues with the plan. He makes it into the main room and starts doing a weird Aztec-like dance, chanting and everything. When he is done, he makes a run for it.

     The faculty are furious. They search the premises for the prankster but cannot find him. I sneak back into the building and lower myself into the indoor river. I have a straw hanging out of the water so I can breathe. I am spying on the people in the gym to see if they know that Tim was the prankster. A girl I know, Samantha, sees me. I watch as the coach walks outside the building, sits on a nearby bench and eats his lunch. Two skateboarders approach him and start doing tricks on their skateboards. I know that he will pin the prank on them. I make a run for it. I get out. A few friends offer to drive me home. I jump in their van. As they drive down the road, I ask them to drop me off at the nearest Target or Walmart. I plan on calling Tim to make sure he is safe and to see if he can pick me up. I come to find out that some people were so impressed with Tim's dancing that they are awarding him three college degrees because of it. One is a degree in Aztec languages. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Strange Scripture

Dream 4/1/2017

I'm in the Honor Academy. Several of the interns having chosen to fast from food. I am a part of the group that chose to eat. An event is going on where a hundred interns are standing in a line. I don't know what is happening. Behind them are the fasting ones, they look miserable. They have the choice to break their fast at any time. Some choose to break it while others stay where they are.

I walk over to one side of the large group of interns and see a girl with short, blonde hair. I have a crush on this girl but I doubt she knows who I am. A friend of mine, Phillip, is reading the Bible. He asks me a question about a particular passage of Scripture. The passage he asks me about is strange. It comes before the creation story. It is a story about a man who knew God and walked with God. One day, the man is walking through a field when he comes upon two dead bodies, one a girl and the other a boy. The boy is holding a piece of fruit in his hand.

I have read the Scripture that Phillip shows me but what I find strange is that I never thought any Scripture came before the creation story. I find this piece of Scripture baffling. I don't think this passage exists.

The girl with short, blonde hair is walking around like a monkey. She approaches me and asks if I want to join her on a walk. I agree to it. Dream ends.

I wake up.

IN & OUT of the Closet

Dream 4/1/2017

My mom and I stop at a fast food burger joint. We order our food from our van. Before the cashier brings our food to us, she asks us to sing a song. My mom doesn't hear her. I start talking exaggeratedly loud, "what mom, you say we should go to another restaurant?" The cashier says she will bring our food out momentarily.

Later that day, my mom and I are at the grocery store when I run into an old friend from middle school. My mom walks and talks with his mom and I talk with my friend. He doesn't talk much. I tell him how I like to write. He doesn't respond much to anything I say.

Later when my mom and me are driving home, she asks me what my thoughts were. I have no idea what she is talking about. She tells me that my friend is gay. I say that I did not know that. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Dialysis Massacre

Nightmare 4/1/2017

I'm inside a dialysis center. My treatment is going when my nurse practitioner asks the other nurses and techs if the police are dealing with the situation outside. He talks about it like he is trying to hide something from us. As time goes by, we come to realize that there are several men outside with guns shooting at people. The police have arrived and are trying to defuse the situation.

At one point, we are told to get down on the floor and not to move. I am lying in between two other men, one is Chinese. At one point, I lift my head up and look over at the window. I see one of the gunmen with his face up against the outside of the window looking in. I immediately freeze in fear. I try to stay down and not move a muscle. BOOM!!! He shoots inside the room. I hear the gun go off several times. He is shooting at the dialysis patients. BOOM!!! the man beside me gets shot. I am waiting for the bullet to hit me. BOOM!!! A bullet hits me in the lower left side of my back.

After several minutes of terror, the police finally take down the gunmen. When I walk outside I tell someone that I've been shot. I can feel it when I rub my fingers across my back. It feels like a bump but I can actually feel the bullet inside of me. The person asks me why I haven't told anyone until now that I was shot. Dream ends.

I wake up.
