Perchance to Dream

In the first part of the dream I met up with my friend and it was night time. We got on a bus and went up to Hartford to visit a museum but when we got there it was even later and there was a strange group that was meeting in the lobby. They split up and the museum closed so we didn’t get to go. Then we took the bus back.

In the second part of the dream, all of the backyards on my block were connected into one big yard even though each individual yard was somehow designated. The next door neighbors began telling me someone stole something from their yard and I had to catch them. They were really fast and kept evading me but I eventually got him and there was a cartoon-ish purple octopus attached to this guy’s bald head and that was what made him steal and what made him so fast.

In the third part of the dream I was trying games out on my Wii and computer. One game was a sonic snowboarding game which featured other characters like Ronald McDonald and Chef Boyardee. The screen showed Chef Boyardee with customizable settings and Ronald came up from behind and smacked him. (I guess he had a grudge against him in the game.) The other game was another sonic game for the computer but instead of a CD it worked off a soft plastic kids toy of Shadow the Hedgehog which I was told to put into the disk drive just like a CD. Somehow it worked and I remember the game being really fun.

I’m trapped inside some control tower owned by my childhood barber. Talking voices over a loud speaker tell me to get out but all the doors are locked. When I go see my barber he’s talking and shuts the door. My hair is short, really short. My dad meanwhile is in the seating area at the barber shop and is mad that the barber hasn’t returned.

I’m in my room, in bed, turned to my side and am on my laptop skyping with my girlfriend. I tell her to hold on a sec and that it’s not the best time. I open my door and go out to the hall and call for my mom. She doesn’t answer or come. It’s dark. I begin to cry and moan a mantra of “I’m a coward.” I start knocking things off the shelves outside the bathroom while doing this. I turn towards the guest bedroom and see my mom but she is in the dark with hardly any light. I can still see from my bedroom door that skype is still on. My mom doesn’t see me and closes the door. I wake up in bed but I’m still dreaming so I do a reality check by closing one eye and looking at my nose. It’s not there so I wake up.

In one part of the dream I was like Odysseus but I defeated the cyclops by sharing funny jokes with it. In another part of the dream I went to a party hosted by my sister so I had to introduce myself to all her friends that were there. Her fiance wasn’t talking to his parents and just the mention of them made him really angry.

Cool story, bro

I was in Boston with a big group of people and we were in a section of the city that had a lot of skyscrapers. Then there was a giant earthquake and buildings began to fall. I started running to a spot where there were less buildings and I watched a huge building as it fell to the ground.

The quake stopped but everyone was afraid of an aftershock. I was wearing a black suit and so was my dad, who was with me. We both jumped in the Charles and decided to swim to the other side because there were only one-story buildings there. Right after I jumped in the water but got out realizing that my phone and iPod were still in my pockets, so I got out, took my jacket off and put them in the pockets of the jacket. Then I swam across the river holding the jacket above water.

Once on the other side of the river both my cellphone and iPod still worked and my dad and I started calling back to New Haven to see if the earthquake hit there. We walked into a building which had a bar in front to find two of our group members, who happened to be two high school classmates, sitting. My dad said the bartender let them sit there so they could feel better about themselves

really?

In the first part of the dream my girlfriend and her mom were taking a vacation and invited me but they were going to outer space via rocket ship and I was too scared so I told them there were too many risks.

In another part of the dream there was a four-player split-screen video game that I was part of and controlled different sea animals and had to attack other animals but lost every time. There was a blue whale, a jellyfish and two other sea animals that I could use and I went through several levels.

In the last part of the dream, I was at some weird place in Milford or something. There were places to walk around but for the most part it was covered above. There was one big gathering area where I sat down and there was a band playing bluegrass music. Then I saw an old friend and I waved to her and then saw her boyfriend who I tried to ignore but ended up saying hi anyway. (Her boyfriend, and now husband, in real life was her and my teacher at our kung fu school.) There was also a guy who looked exactly like her boyfriend but was his identical twin.

I was handed a Kevlar vest, a helmet, a zorro mask, nightstick, and a rifle and was told to calm down racial tensions within New Haven. I began walking around and found a black family. The younger of them began throwing explosives at me but they all missed. I talked to the grandmother figure calmly and told her everything would be okay if we all handled it peacefully.

I gained access to an underground passage which connected everyone’s basements. I tried finding my friend’s basement but went into some wrong houses before actually finding it. Once inside I surprised her parents since I looked like a SWAT member.

The next part of the dream was with school. We met on the Green and then were loaded into small vans which had canvas for the side walls. I was scared that if a car hit us from the side we would be killed. I was the only white kid in the can and the other kids began tickling me until we reached the destination.

We hopped out and then discovered that our history teacher was driving the van. The place we arrived at looked like an oddly shaped bocce court. We used the pallino but for the heavy balls we used big pieces of raw chicken. One of the pieces of chicken flew into the woods and it soon was covered with pointy snails. Then my mom called wondering why I wasn’t home. I teleported home and was again sneaking around, trying yo dematerialize myself through the screen window in my parent’s room.

In the third part of the dream I was in Disney World and I was in a trivia contest with a bunch of people. The first question would give you an $80,000 trip to Disney at a later date. The question was: “What causes the large clouds around the U.S. theme park, Lake Compounce?” Since we were the only ones from Connecticut I was able to yell the answer out right after she read the multiple choice answers and the answer was “evaporation of the lake.” I was so excited that I won and I ran up and grabbed the voucher.

I was at a zoo with my girlfriend but we were the only people there. Soon, I was right next to the animals and there was nothing separating us. There was a giant antelope and it looked like it wanted to charge at me. My girlfriend was off to the side and she told me to run but I told here that it would only provoke the antelope.

I tried using my arms to make myself look bigger to scare the animal but it charged at me. I started to punch it and another antelope joined in. Soon there was also a lioness involved and it scratched my arm. The antelopes disappeared and the lioness turned into a leopard. Then my girlfriend and I were in a hanging sling that was ten feet above the leopard so it couldn’t get us.

          I was at my high school and someone pulled the fire alarm so we had to go out into the parking lot. Then after a while, we went back in and a minute after we went in, someone pulled it again. This time when we went outside, it was raining and kids started to fight. There was a dogpile of kids fighting and then one kid began throwing bricks.
          I got so emotional and upset that I took my car, which was in the parking lot, and left. Instead of driving home, I was driving around some weird parts of the city. There were traffic cones in the street and I hit all of them. Then, there was a police car and I got pulled over. An officer got into my car and just had me drive her. She seemed to know all about what happened to me during the day and was very understanding. She told me I did the right thing by leaving school.
          The same day I went to my afternoon arts school and my teacher yelled at me for something. We had to sit in the arts hall and watch some stupid performances. Then, I was in my journal writing elective class and for some reason this kid who I know was there, even though he’s not really in that class. He began telling the class, upon request of the teacher, what he did over the break. He said that he wrote a song on the guitar while at his grandparent’s house. He then proceeded to play it for us. It was really amazing and he was very skilled; everyone loved it.
          Next, I was back in my room with the shades down. News of my friend’s guitar playing spread to the middle school kids across the street from me and they all became obsessed with him. However, for some reason, they thought my guitar playing friend was one of my other, closer friends. From inside my room, I heard a girl trying to get my friend’s attention but since she had the wrong person, he was very confused.
          In the next part of the dream, I was on my instant messaging program and got a message that said my ex-girlfriend wanted to share private financial information with me. Since it had her name on it and it looked as if it was a legit message from the messaging program, I clicked it but my whole computer became infected with a virus. When I moved the windows on the screen around, they rotated in a circle, flipping upside down. The whole system looked different so I figured I should back up files and then reformat my hard drive. I decided to run some programs to clean the virus but I never got to do it because the dream ended.

          Part of the dream I was in Florida and I had to get back home so I hopped on the back of a flatbed truck. Soon other people wanted to get on too but I pushed them off as they tried to get on. Angrily they began shooting arrows at me. I then decided it would be okay if they got on and if we shared the space. Then I was on Skype and they added a new feature similar to Google Earth except all of the images were hand drawn.
          Another part of the dream I was back at home in the backyard and I was controlling a pretty big helicopter with my iPod Touch. It was slightly bigger than a show box and I flew it around the yard until it ran out of energy.
          Another part of the dream I was at my girlfriend’s mom’s house and we were all sitting around the table eating cookies. Most of the cookies I brought were Christmas date-nut balls and some other coconut ones. Everyone loved them so I told my girlfriend’s mom what the date-nut balls were made of and how you make them, even though I don’t know the actual recipe.

In the dream I was driving my car and got lost so I had to get off the highway and turn around, although it looked like the parkway. The road I was on wasn’t any highway I’ve been on but a strange parkway with narrow lanes and lots of turns. I ended up scraping the side of my car on the guard rail and in doing so my leg got scratched up too and was bleeding.
Later I was driving again and got lost again but used a “fast-travel” map like in Fallout 3 to get to my location. Once there I told everyone how I got there but the person who was me didn’t look like me. I starting toying with my watch and it began beeping repeatedly. I was told I was a secret agent and that my watch had all sorts of gadgets built in. I took the watch off and threw it, then it exploded. I was led to another room which looked really old fashioned and had mini-busts of random people everywhere.

          In the dream I was in my high school arts school but the building was that of my middle school. I saw one of my teachers and he said we would have a fun new assignment but he didn’t hand me the information packet like he normally would so I said, “Oh you just don’t care about me.” Then he was embarrassed and gave me one. Then I was at my regular high school and school was ending.
          Next, I was in this one area about a mile from my house in the Walgreen’s parking lot with a bunch of people and we were doing funny dances to music we could hear in the distance. Then one of my school’s administrators came from across the street and told use we couldn’t do that and called the police. I was so mad so I told him that it wasn’t like we were doing drugs or anything, just having fun. I walked away and there was this guy to the side who was smoking something wrapped in a dollar bill. He asked me if it smelled like roses. I didn’t answer but later in the dream I saw him again and he asked me again so I told him that it didn’t. Then one of once close friends was with him and began smoking with him.
          I walked into a store and it was arts and they were selling these kits that came in paper bags and had something to do with stamps and Frank Sinatra. The woman working there told me I looked depressed and told me I had 1,348 decisions to make before I graduated.
          In another part of the dream I was at the White House and Obama was doing a video speech but he was walking through the White House as he did it and it was very informal. I saw this speech in first person and third person through the TV at the same time.
          Another part of the dream I was walking with two of my close friends. One of them turned into a Big Daddy (from Bioshock) and I started fighting him with a long pole which had a sponge on the end, like those used to wash cars.
          In another part of the dream I saw my Chinese teacher with her husband and told them that since it was a dream I could fly. So I did a circle in the air for them.

I dreamed I was by the gas station near this Japanese restaurant I frequently eat at and I was filling my car up with gas. The car next to me belong to this one girl from school. I was having trouble figuring out which grade of gas to use because the machine was complicated.

In the dream Stephen Colbert called me up and was asking me about a friend I have on Skype (one who doesn’t exist in real life_ and it was actually on the show as he was talking to me. He mocked a Skype buddies category I had called Yaleies (like those who go to Yale) which had a Chinese guy named Yang and another weird guy with a long beard, who I was told was an awkward family friend.
Then there was a Stephen Colbert skit similar to The Sorcerer’s Apprentice but instead Colber clones kept giving him roses and something else I can’t remember

In the dream I had some officer in my house that was ordering me around and being corrupt so I ended up holding a butter knife up to his neck but while I did that someone else killed him from behind. Another section of the dream involved small action figures coming to life.

           I don’t remember a lot but I think I did have a lucid dream becuase I was flying and realized it but I don’t remember after that. The major part of the dream was my senior class friends in Left 4 Dead and we had to fight off all the zombies. I was the only one that ended up surviving though.
          In the other part of the dream there was a big Nazi parade and Hitler was there even though it was modern times. I was so astounded that people would still follow Hitler. My friend’s German mother was there and she told me we didn’t need to be there. Then there was this girl from school who tried walking past Hitler but she was shot in the head but I didn’t watch.
          Later I was in a diner and the waiter looked like Hitler. I told him: “Ich spreche nur ein bisschen Deutsch” (meaning I only speak a little German). There was a radio broadcast that was talking about the real Hitler in the background.

Very strange dream, part of which I don’t really remember. There was a short part where I was lucid dreaming but later in the dream there was an alien race that I was part of. The story was similar to early rock ‘n’ roll. The alien character wanted to play rock ‘n’ roll but the music was the devil’s music so he couldn’t. His parents were losing faith in him so he decided to join a musical to prove it to them.

In the dream there was a bloody gun war fought in a crowded living room over drugs. The guns were controlled by Wii remotes. Afterward I found out there was a beach party I could go to.
