Recorruing Dream

I have had some form of this dream for the past 2 months at least 2 times a month. It varies every time. So I will tell you two forms of the dream. Something to note about these dreams, the first one I had it was on a weekend and I was trying to sleep in. Everyone after that happened right after I feel asleep. I couldn't have been asleep more than an hour before I woke up.

Dream Form #1:
I am in an apartment, thats almost more like a house, but not. Its a very long one split lever house and my bedroom is located in the rear. I wake up and think hmm, where are my cats and Todd. I hear noises coming from outside my room. I then get up with an uneasy feeling that everything is not ok. I saw my cats and oddly my dogs ( I do not have any dogs, well except if you count Todd's dog Buddy, but these were very small yellpy dogs) running around being chased. And I saw Todd's friends just sitting there almost watching but not really, they were somewhat playing video games. Then right as I walked into the room, they up and left, which of course I was flabbergasted. I still didn't see Todd and was terribly worried. Then the cats started to go out the door with the boys and I was horrified that I would loose them. And chased after then, but could not move, I reached and reached but could do nothing, helpless in my own mind. Then woke up very upset and out of breath.

Dream Form #2:
It starts out similar, I am sleeping and I wake up and its this same place again. But this time there are several rooms I have to get to before I reach the main living area. This time I hear my cats screaming and I hear screeching going on. I run to the room and as I do, I become an observer of the scene, but yet a character at the same time. I see Monkey's chasing around my cats, terrorizing and attacking them. Then I see Zach Braff, the main character off of Scrubs talking to this lady. I drift over to them while trying my best to reach the cats and help them, but realizing I am an observer. I see he has a gun of some sort in his hand, and in his belt is this think that looks like a hand holding a knife. He says were gonna have to do our best to stop them, but its going to be hard. Then he pulls the "hand" out of his belt. And its a monkey's paw that was holding a knife, cleanly severed from its body, which is not seen. I look and see the kitties still running around trying to defend themselves from the Monkey's that have trapped them in a corner of the room. I try to reach them grasping and yelling as best I can unable to do anything. Then I wake up panting and upset.

I have no idea what this means, other than I have control issues, but I really wish it would stop interrupting me while I am trying to go to sleep =).

Office Visit

I'm sitting at my desk at work. For some reason, I am looking downward to grab something. Suddenly, I hear someone say my name.

Kevin!

I recognize that voice even in my dreams - it's my mom! I had no idea she was coming to visit (and I have no idea who let her through the security door).

Mom? What are doing here?

I give my mom a tour, introduce her to some of my coworkers and she leaves. I remember feeling very happy she was there.

As a side note, I've been putting myself under a lot of pressure - maybe that's how this whole dream happened?

High School- Cruise Reunion

It started out with me walking up the hill away from Falmouth Elementary School. And I was walking with Daniel Jennings in a wedding dress and Gabe Gassy in a tux. (One thing about this situation is I don't think Daniel is married yet, but Gabe is to Shanna Hilton.)
And we were talking about how long it had been and how married life was and who I was getting married too. I said no I wasn't getting married but was dating someone and they said, "well maybe soon you will be", in such a way, it was like they knew for a matter of fact. (which of course was news to me) I think they mentioned going on a cruise and how I should come. I said I would see.

Then I was talking to Heather on the phone, about this cruise they mentioned and said, "I could make it out for the weekend, but I couldn't stay the whole cruise cause I had work". She said great and then when I hung up the phone and just like that I was on the cruise ship. I couldn't exactly see the ship, it was more like a really sunny washed out background, with this central bar area, in of course a tropical luau (can't spell that) theme.

There were a lot of people there. But surprisingly they were all dressed up, but not just in nice attire. Many were in wedding dresses, tuxes, and brides maid's gowns. I saw many people from my high school, all ones who have been married recently or married already. They were all chatting about there lives and weddings. I finally saw Heather and she asked me how much fun I am having. I said "great" feeling extremely happy, but yet confused. She asked me who I was staying with, and I immediately answered John (I can't remember who or which John it was, might have been the short one, but it was definitely someone from our high school and I remember saying he was sleeping on the couch of course! hehe). After I said it I was confused as to why I wouldn't have been staying with Heather, or why Todd hadn't come with me. It also occurred to me as I said this, why would i have paid for a whole cruise, when I was only going to be on there for a weekend, and was that even allowed on cruises. But then she said, "come one lets go get a drink".

When we got to the bar there were yet again a ton of people, ones I did not recognize now. But then I saw Mrs. Sigler and Mr. Hughes (my high school art teachers) walking around drinking and talking, wearing the typical Hawaiian shirts. I said, "ohh my gosh, its so good to see you all. How have you been?" But they didn't really seem to noticed me, just said Hi and walked off. And then I woke up.

Fear of Forgetfullness

This one was a pretty straight forward dream. I was getting into a boat (a very small boat barely able to hold all of us, with a hand motor like on fishing boats) with Todd, my brother, and my father, on some kind of lake at a dock. We were about to leave to go somewhere fishing, I think, although there were no rodes from what I could tell. My Mazda 3 had turned into a convertible car with the top down (which would be awesome to have). But as we were about to leave I remembered I had left Todd's new ipod in the car. So I ran back and got it.

After we left I realized that I had also left my bag with my towel, my ipod, and wallet in the car as well. But we were already too far out, my brother commented on my usual forgetfulness, and everyone laughed. I figured if I lost the ipod, I could get a new one (which I kinda want), but I was still worried. Once we got back I ran to the car hoping it was all still there. But this time my forgetfulness had caused me a loss. The bag was GONE!

I panicked and started looking everywhere. I ran into the near by bathroom/locker room, hoping the person who had taken it wasn't far away. When I got in, I saw the purple bag on the floor (a bag Todd's mom had recently given me for all my crap =) I always bring to their house). It was some girl, with blond hair and fairly stocky in weight and height, who had stolen it, she was showing off, I guess after a swim. I did not wait for her to get out, I screamed, "YOU HAVE MY BAG". And shoved the shower curtain knocking her over. She came out and said, "well too bad, you shouldn't have left it, its mine now". I proceeded to push her again, but this time she was ready and grabbed the bag and started running. I chased after her and caught up with her trying to climb a fence. I grabbed her down and took the bag back. By then my brother, Todd, and my father had run over to see what was going on. I grabbed my bag back from the girl and said "never try and steal something again". (very cheesy but for some reason I was at a lack of words, having just knocked over this girl several times). She made some snide comment and then ran away. I was happy just to have my bag back and all my stuff back. Even though I was a little sad about not having an excuse to get a new ipod. My dad of course commented on saving money, and Todd said, "well I have a new one". And with that I woke up.

I guess I dreamed all that as an excuse to get a new ipod, but I guess even my subconscious won't let me. But who knows.
