Storm is picking up outside

Dreamed on 2017.02.24.0545 some commotion about a bird atop the tree. i rush into the room but am too late. crazy fancy mansion that we are moving into to share. on a balcony above the tree i notice a giant vulture face atop a clearly mechanical human sized body. It looks at me storm is picking up outside. like... I see someone blow away. Everyone else wants to watch a show that's starting, and they keep asking me to come back in and sit down, but I go to the hall and hold open a side door for what turns out to be about thirty strangers and a person or two from my old high school. One old peer is surprised to see me, inquires about whose place this is, being so fancy, and I know it's part mine now, but otherwise I forget. It's owned by the parents of someone else we knew in highschool, but I forget who. I ask the Lady/Matriarch of the house, and she says it's totally fine I brought them in. Downstairs is probably best, just stay out of room 126 because her husban...

Ponds of White Smokey Haze

Dreamed on 2013.06.07.0639 Me and a group are exploring unfamiliar terrain when we see an airplane being torn apart piece by piece. Nothing is touching it, though, while this happens. We see several other airplane skeletons, but understand nothing until we notice that there is a gigantic platform ahead being constructed out of airplane parts. “OH! That’s makes sense,” we say, “that’s how they are building things.” I accidentally trip an alarm by crossing beneath the platform, an alarm goes off, and we are chased. We run as fast as we can and eventually we are running through a field with many little “ponds” of white smokey-looking haze. We can run across their surface easily enough. “Are these the aliens?” someone asks “No," one of our pursuers shouts, "these are their technology." And if you stand in one for long enough, you may almost begin to see the aliens standing in other ones. We run faster, ditch the pursuers, and hide in an old abandoned hot...

Purple Plastic Clothes Hanger

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).

Sky Marshall Helicopter

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.

Uncommon Sense Solutions

Dreamed on 2009.09.15 With the van already loaded full, and stranded at our destination by the sudden flood of rainwater and melting snow, we had no choice but to return home by boat. This was not a significant problem. The difficulty arose when we were forced to attempt loading up the solo canoe and two kayaks with the rest of the boxes and furniture that had to be moved from my parents' house to the apartment. Many things were tucked inside the boats or tied to the outside. My brother's decision to strap an armchair upside down to the back of his kayak was probably one of the more problematic issues we dealt with. As far as I can remember, though, we got off onto our journey safely.

A Study I Would Support

Dreamed on 2014.02.0529 go under cover at several stores in order to complete a study of which stores' employees are better or worse at avoiding annoying and time-wasting small talk. The one I'm at in the dream failed, and I tell them so. Why would I care about the superbowl? Anyway, I start organizing some of the furniture in their displays, dusting, and turning lights on, until I see two students from last year discussing things at a table. They're planning to move into an apartment soon (for school) and are looking at different options. The apartment I'm living in right now (according to the dream) and several others I've had recently are right there (different hallways open into sample rooms which happen to have been mine) and I talk about why the current one is better than all others. These apartments bear no resemblance to any which I've lived in in non-dream life. Then eventually Rachel and someone and I have to escape from the building which is filled ...

Guerilla Bed Upgraders

Dreamed on 2009.09.14 “Shhhhh, .. get the – how'd you get the lock so fast?” “It was already open, I dunno. You think he's home?” “No, I definitely saw him downtown. He couldn't be back yet. Should be busy with his gig, yeah?” “Yeah. Alright. Go ahead, see what you find. I'll follow you.” The room looked like a teenager who had just awoken after three hours of sleep. The couple picked their way through the flotsam. “Eh, what's this?” “Shit, I dunno. Computer guts? Percussion equipment? – Hey! I found an IPod!” “Alright. Let's get some tunes.” “Rock!” Eventually, they found what they were looking for. “I found the bed, and you're right – it won't do!” “It's just so .. small, and ... ugly.” “Exactly.” “So what do you think, can we do it?” “Well... there's room. I think I might be able to come up with something. Take some pictures of the space and the stuff... when we get back, I'll check it for style and find a new...

East Coast Wobble

Dreamed on 2011.08.25 Brother and I are alone at my parents' house, hanging out, cleaning, etc. Others are going to be home soon. We come in off the back porch (into the downstairs) and I bump into a chair that starts rocking. As it does, it makes this really loud and annoying bass-y “WHOOBWHOOOB” sound. The thing is, it kept making noise even after I stopped the chair. I asked my brother if he heard anything, he said no. I described the sound, and he said, “Wait, well yeah. You’re just hearing that now? That’s not a chair, that’s the east coast wobble. Everyone hears that all the time on the east coast.” Then I woke up and it was our AC unit making the noise.
