East Coast Wobble

Dreamed on 2015.09.06.0902 We had already settled into the campsite, but he wasn't there. It's fine, I told my mom -- brother had to finish up at work, pack all his things, drive all the way to the put in, then paddle down to here. Surely he got off to a late start and he must be on the river already and that's why he's not answering his phone. I get out my gopro to try calling him on anyway, but then realize that the gopro does not have phone capabilities. While I'm watching for him, I realize I'm looking out the window of the house I grew up in and watching down the road for a car to turn the corner, but there are no car marks in the freshly fallen snow (could a car even drive through that? Kids with shovels have cleared a small area to play and the snow looks one or two feet deep. I should probably help shovel, though brother won't be able to drive through here until the plows go by anyway. Not sure why we're camping in the snow -- thought we had ca...

Dreamed on 2015.09.06.0705 Once each year a hacking group comes into everyone;s kitchen and rearranges the things on their refrgerator. Mauebe the things in the refrigerator too? It's like... PETA but not just PETa and stuff. S tjhoiss uear we take everything out of the frge and hide it and we takke everything off the front of th e frige, tbu then we start to think -- lets noy tak e everything off -- let's tleave the words "impress us" im ,agnetic poetry on the fridge. I accidentally chip a glass, but then I ddn't because that's kst part of the desgn. We hear noises from downstairs maybe, but maube ust paranoid. Who breaks into places, anyway? And how? I mean, it happens to everyone one niht a year, so ther must b many members. Someone in each neighborhood must do it, but they're all good enouhg to never get caught? Weird.

I'm just eating them cause their'e good....

Dreamed on 2013.08.19.1010 after trying nicely several times, yell quite harshly at stalker fan girl to leave parents' house that rachel and I and parents are in, and she seems to be gone. After a while we realize the bathroom closet doorknob is missing and she must be in there, where we store scissors and things. We block the door closed and call our private security to ask whether they can take care of it or whether we should call the cops. They say they've got it.

Dreamed on 2014.03.28.0439 railroad ties at my parents' house need moving, but I can't get the water spigot to turn off in the yard after I bumped it. Janitor Joe is in a forklift and says not to worry. He pick the railroad ties up and is only barely able to throw them -- not in the right direction, but it works. I have to jump and catch the basketball hoop so they don't hit me. Instead they only brush my feet (and break the garage door). Then I'm sorting my armor when I hear my dad come home and realize we forgot my grandma's birthday! It's Friday though, so I suggest we drive there for dinner still.

Dreamed on 14.04.03.0625 standing in my parents' living room and looking down the hall. extraordinarily vivid. A light breeze blows from a vent and I hear the faint hum of ventilation. I slap myself and feel it. I know it's a dream, but I know it can't possibly feel this real. I wake up. Five minutes later I have the same dream with the same vividness. I wake up. Five minutes later it's the same thing, but this time I'm halfway down the hallway, still unable to move, but now completely hyperventilating and freaking out. Something scary is in the bedrooms but I cannot see through their darkened doorways.

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 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 2013.07.05.0932 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 2013.06.12.1452 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 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.

Dreamed on 2013.08.17.0655 In preparation for a family reunion unrelated to last night's dream, I'm helping my parents get their house ready for company and I receive a phone call from someone I've never heard of, who is apparently the son of my relatives Bruce and Lisa (not Olson). Over the phone he sounds like a pretty young kid, but he says he's about my age and named Fennec. I later confirm this with my mom. Also I'm out at a restaurant and get some FANTASTIC looking dessert to take home (like a large pan of creme brulee bars), which I forget about, and Rachel left her pile of things outside the public bathroom, and I found it all an hour later when I went back to use them anyway, and the chef at the restaurant who delivered the dessert (apparently I was the first one ever to have ordered it, and he was very proud) also gave me a thing that was 9 short logs all interwoven in a flat thing that can be burned for good luck, so I take that home for the night's...

2011.08.30-DREAM Playing some weird board game I don't fully understand. Then Trav is over.. it's 2am and we're cooking, but I'm not sure what he's cooking Vicky* is on the counter, and she got into the donut frosting. Vicky..... I have to go into town to get something, so I head out.... once I get around the corner (we were at my parents' house) I realize I forgot the car and am walking, and that that won't work, it'll take too long. On the way back, I find my computer I dropped. Then I realize that trav brought plenty of ingredients, I don't need to go into town anyway. Then sorting through books with Tylor.  *Vicky was an ancient/tiny/frail miniature schnauzer.

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.
