East Coast Wobble

Dreamed on 2013.07.17.0651 Something about having quit other jobs and applying to be a surgeon -- but not a surgeon yet, because I need more training, so just a nurse, first. After that i have trouble driving because of all the construction, so it turns out I'm walking up a hill. I'm being socially awkward and walking too close to other people, but it's not my fault, it's a very slippery hill and I can't get traction so I have to walk slow. Sold some necklaces to a shop in a tunnel at our vacation home. picked out a nice one to give to rachel, but I broke it -- looks like an easy fix, though. We argue back and forth about who should fix it (i should because I broke it, I say). Eventually they relent and let me take it home broken (the string is cut), but they give me a discount. I try to take a picture of it but my camera is on the fritz, so I realize I can use my computer to take a picture. Voting for official city hero.. go Rachel!

Dreamed on 2011.08.31 move into new apartment (not the same new one as in real life) -- see how far wireless reaches. (Talking with grant while doing so) Remove wall panel sections to access clothing for a large game of dressing up funny with the extended Olson family. Then we play with cute kittens. But after people leave, they attack me -- sinking teeth in and not letting go. One on each hand, can't do anything but yell until my dad pries one loose with purple plastic clothes hanger (which breaks and splinters into my skin also).

Dreamed on 2014.03.10.0421 shopping for groceries and I pay with my credit card. at the checkout they throw a pack of certs in for a small charge. After I pay I decide I want another thing of certs of cinnamon, so I have to get in line again. When I finally get to the front of the line, I swipe my credit card and it says, "Sorry! We know you like using our product, but we've always asked you to fill out online surveys and sign up for our product and services online and you've ignored us, so we've deactivated your card. I'm sure you understand!" It's awkward, and I try several times before explaining it to the checkout clerk and the people in line behind me. Eventually I have to use my second card to pay for the certs, which is signed out to the name "THE BEAST", like from Beauty and the Beast, because of a story I'm writing. When the people in line ask me about it, I shrug and say, "you know, cause I'm grumpy and moody and stuf

Dreamed on 2014.03.14.0718 Going through the state Renaissance Faire again, but it's super boring this time because we've already done it a million times. As we look in the river I see long strands of mushrooms like we had at the Hot Pot restaurant last Friday -- except we must have eaten baby ones then, because some of these are substantially larger. Then I'm getting ready for a battle, but I have to change my footwear. After I put the new shoes on, I have to wrap cloth tape around them a million times to connect them to my feet, then I have to paint them. Someone says something gender-offensive, but I can't remember what it was.

Dreamed on 2014.02.07.0547 As the assistant principal comes into my studyhall to take over so I can leave, I'm about to shout at them to sit down, be quiet, get to work, stop (literally) climbing the walls and playing basketball and standing on desks and being loud, but he puts a finger to lips and pretends to sneak and explains that he wants them to not even notice that he's here -- he doesn't want to disturb their reading. I look around at the chaos, then wake up.

Dreamed on 2014.03.10.0540 The water leopard exhibit is empty, but there is a greater menace. I'm hiding in the curtains in the abandoned zoo and a huge snake/plant/vine is after me that can grow very quickly. It catches me and wraps around me and I cannot escape.

Dreamed on 2014.03.11.0301 Something valuable was created when this bit of falling meteor struck the contents of his marshy field -- he knew this would be the case and he'd purchased the land against long odds that it would be his land that was struck. But it was, and it was his land too that was now coated in this silvery compound -- highly valuable -- that he had mined into pieces now selling for high value at auction. This kid in torn blue jeans made it big. Then Alric teaches me the way he builds a sword.

Dreamed on 2011.11.09 sky marshall helicopter delivered a mattress to my house -- HUGE thing was the copter, bigger than my parents' house -- then zoomed off again almost noiselessly. giant american eagle symbol of pride, that we got to see it. It filled the entire sky above the house, then turned at an angle and disappeared. Think the blades were more like dyson airblades than normal chopper blades.

Dreamed on 2014.03.15.0829 Looking for some old books for the English department in an ancient attic in an old schoolbuilding. I was sent up there with some older lady who worked here ages ago. When opening lockers, I see they have notes of paper with writing on the edges of them only visible when open. There's a bold word on each note. When all are opened, the bold words read together warn me that the vampire will rise at the next full moon. Obligatorily for anything in the horror genre, I realize that's tonight. I yell a warning to the older lady, and hear a muffled scream and the sound of death in response. Me and a friend run out through a different door and struggle to find our way out from the building. We are careful to be as quiet as we can, but we know that the werewolf (this old bearded man who rises from the dead at the full moon, who is also super strong and angry) is chasing us. Looks kind of like zombie Lincoln, but more hirsute. My friend hides under a ca

Dreamed on 2011.08.26 My whole high school class comes out to watch a trial -- at an orchestra concert, some guy had called out this girl’s name to come to the piano. When she didn't, he described her in detail -- including the fact that this wasn't even her real name, she was just in the witness protection program and pretending. And she really must come to the piano.. for the trial. Eventually I go downstairs, and Travis, Tylor, Andy and I are in my parents' basement -- struggling to get mp3 player to play the right music (tool), so we can play ping pong to it.

Dreamed on 2013.07.31.0917 Four of us get a tour through an old mansion by acting out a play. We each have electronic cue cards telling us what to do next, and there are four different colored lines on the ground telling us where to go next. None of us know what the play is about. (Just before I woke up, I had been doing some kind of sashaying ribbon dance solo. It was very fun.)

Dreamed on 2013.06.07.0639 Rachel and I are in an abandoned property which I am told no one will come to. They do, though, more and more quickly, and some have swords, or table-leg clubs, or broken glass. The attackers are seventh grade students, and I am forced to disarm them and fight them off in order to protect Rachel, who seems to be dazed and disoriented. Eventually I end up in a particularly vicious fight against a student. I know that I have a larger weapon and have the advantage, but I also know that if I back up and start to swing from range, that he’ll be able to reach out and slash Rachel -- and Rachel is too disoriented to move away on her own right now. So, I stay close and fight with small shards of metal and broken glass. I take a bad injury on my foot and leg before I wake up.

Dreamed on 2013.02.26.0600 Some sort of large gathering or demonstration -- maybe a flashmob? Then someone roles an inflatable ball that’s almost one story tall down the road. When it gets to the guy leading things with a microphone, he pushes the ball up into the air. Then we get a montage of people pushing the ball along, across campuses and over buildings all around the country.

Dreamed on 2013.07.05.0932 Post apocalyptic surviving in my parents' house with a dozen or so of us. Not living in the whole house, because we don't trust the dark. Sending expeditions to other parts of the house, etc. Also, for a while, fighting skirmishes on the driveway. I got to wear my new armor. The ones we'd tried to make peace with wouldn't accept peace, so we had to do what was necessary to defend ourselves, and we were the better prepared for war.

Dreamed on 2013.02.24.0936 We’d sent a group of them into the woods, for a school fun-day or something. I think they were mostly high-school aged, though I’m not sure why we wanted to aim that young. I guess the prey is easier, and they get to grow into things. I don’t know what their main business was, but they had a special challenge as well -- if they were able to climb a tree to the top, then rip that tree out by the roots, they’d get a special prize. Now -- most couldn’t do it. Because if a tree was sturdy enough to be climbed to the top, it was also sturdy enough to resist being uprooted. I was fine with this, because, being an unconventionally empathic werewolf, I didn’t want to turn any of these kids, some of whom used to be my ninth grade students, a few years back. Unfortunately, one of the class-clown kids got an idea; he picked a thin sapling, bent it so he could stay on the ground while working his hands up to the very top. He succeeded, thereby, in “getting to the t

Dreamed on 2013.02.27.0600 We’re getting into the car to drive home from the lake, but grandpa got in the wrong car and started driving away. We pulled alongside and tried to yell and honk, but no luck. The car was an RV, actually, with many other people in it. I pulled in front of it and stopped, and it had to stop too. We all got out and tried to surround the house, but there was gunfire. (It was actually a house now, not just an rv). It turns out there was a will buried in the yard in an old leather book, and I dug it up, and the people inside wanted it. This has nothing to do with anyone in my family now, and more to do with the show Supernatural. I asked if the will wouldn’t apply if we shot it, and someone put two bullet holes through it before someone else answered no, that it wouldn’t matter. There was running and fighting and sneaking and stuff. I turned a corner and knocked out the evil woman by slamming the big leather book into her face.

Dreamed on 2013.06.12.1452 I’ve had a dream last night and another the night before that both took place in my parents house -- except bigger and grander. The rooms are spacious, the ceilings vaulted, and everything a mix of stark white and silver, sterile and echoey. There was a room for compost/farm shares, several grand staircases, and then the furnace room -- we were nervous because it was making such loud noises it seemed keen on exploding in such a way as would surely rip us to pieces, but Rachel saw the dial, spun it to zero, then turned it back to half its previous power, and all seemed good. At one point, we found the living room, too, but it was unchanged from my childhood -- the brown shag carpet, and everything was warmth and wood, though it was dark and snowy outside. Something about cars arriving in the driveway.

Dreamed on 2013.03.06.0712 Me and someone (a partner-figure like the two guys in Supernatural) on a college campus that I do not attend. We climb some stairs (nervous that someone will see us), hop a ledge, and end up in a crowd of people. I point out that I see someone wearing the same shirt as the partner, who doesn’t seem to care. Then I notice how many people are wearing stripes and I point it out to him, loudly. This was a sea of quiet people before, so they all hear me and start talking like, “Yeah, what the hell? Look at all the stripes!”

Dreamed on 2013.08.19.1010-DREAM Some kind of adventure where several of us mice must save some other creature from a human dungeon (up in a tower). We "save" the creature (maybe a dog?) easily enough, but have trouble escaping when the tower is surrounded. Then we find a way to leave without going all the way down to the ground level. Yay!

Dreamed on 2014.03.02.0520 Line up of kids need to get injections to prevent mosquito bites. Several of us are working to give them. I've given them plenty of times before. The tools are pretty much a leather-working awl, a little surgical knife, a tub of honey, and a sewing needle. The first kid comes up, I prep the tools, I explain the process (put some honey on the scalpel and add a tiny bit to the bloodstream for it's antiviral/antiseptic properties), and then I don't do it. I keep finding myself taking the tools out of my mouth (not in a painful way, but it in a let-me-hold-these-in-my-mouth-while-doing-something-with-my-hands-way. Eventually I stare at the honey coated scalpel and realize that I'm stalling because I have no clue how to do this, or even why honey is involved in the procedure. I feel guilty for holding up the line, and making the kid in my seat scared. Later, I am an out of favor healer that was once chosen by a god ... possibly, I am Asclepius,
