Under Attack, Sort Of

Last night I dreamed while washing dishes I noticed four chipmunks run into the yard. They were followed by a raccoon and a fox. It seemed like the fox leaned over to the coon and was talking into his ear. It raised a paw and pointed to the house. I was wondering what in the world that could mean so I went and got my brother and my husband. By the time we returned to the window, the animals were gone but there were 6 people in the yard throwing things at the house. They made their way all the way around the house and they were yelling. They went around the house again, this time squirting water from large water guns. I couldn't understand who would do this or why. Shortly after they finally went away I received instant messages on Facebook. The screen name was Berry Berries and the messages were full of nonsensical rants. I didn't understand why the person was angry but based on some of the complaints I started realizing who all was involved. Then I woke up.

Valentine's Day Surprise

Last night I dreamed my husband and I went on a trip for Valentines day. We reserved a hotel room for two nights and after dropping off our luggage we started exploring the town. We toured a power plant and had alot of fun doing all the experiments. Then we went to a mall. This mall was huge! It was 5 stories high and had hundreds and hundreds of stores from all over the world. It was on the 5th floor that I received my Valentines surprise. There were several tables set up and other people enjoying a delicious looking gourmet dinner. I was excited and hungry so I really enjoyed dinner. After dinner everybody started to mingle and we met a few other couples. Then the women were told to sit down and relax. The men started presenting gifts, toasts, and other surprises for their significant other. I couldn't believe it, some of the gifts and speeches were adorable and so lovely. I was getting more excited to see what my gift was! Every time one man finished, I'd hope my husband would step up next. But he didn't. This time? No. OK, surely it will be this time. No. And I thought, 'Don't tell me I'm last! He knows how hard it is to wait for surprises! No way is he making me last.' Oh he did. When he showed up, he gave me a card and said he loved me. I was all smiles. Then he sat down. That was it. I was confused. Not that his card or saying he loved me wasn't nice, it was. But after witnessing what I had from all the other men and couples, I anticipated more so was confused. We were then back in the shopping area of the mall and he said he wanted to check out a particular store but I wanted to explore some other things. We split up and agreed to meet at a certain time. I went off to check out some stores then took a seat on a bench to 'people watch.' I then realized the time and started heading back but got disoriented. I got a text asking where I was and then figured out how to get back so I headed to the hotel. Then I woke up.

Fun House Mall

Last night I dreamed I had a handicapped friend who wanted to go to the mall. He was in a wheelchair and had a wheelchair accessible van so getting to the mall was no problem. We had to find the most easily handicap accessible entrance and after that we just enjoyed the shopping. After exhausting the stores on the lower level my friend wanted to go the second level. We started looking for an elevator. We kept finding escalators but that just wouldn't work, we needed an elevator. I was getting pretty upset that the mall didn't have easily found elevators or ways for the handicapped to get upstairs. After looking for quite some time I was infuriated. I approached mall management was angry about the situation. I was finally directed down a hallway so off we went. There were many twists and turns to this hallway and it was cluttered with junk. I was still quite angry that just going upstairs was so difficult. We came around a corner and saw Charo, in full costume, dancing in the hallway. It was bizarre but pretty funny. She approached my friend and chatted a few minutes then we headed for the elevator. We entered and I breathed a sigh of relief. But that didn't last long. There was something about the elevator that looked odd. All of a sudden we were going down, falling, quickly. It stopped and we were suddenly going up, fast. I didn't know what to think bu I was scared for our safety. Once the doors opened we emerged from the elevator to see cameras and a man with a microphone. We were on some hidden video show. I was so angry I could have spit nails at this 'host' but I didn't say anything. I answered his questions then whispered a question in his ear, "How do we get out of here?" He just looked around and motioned back to the elevator. I figured it was worth a shot so I turned my friend around and we went back into the elevator. It went up and it went down and back up again and when the doors opened we were outside. That was fine, at least we were out of that mall. I woke up.

Knights

Last night I dreamed a sort of Groundhog Day meets Camelot dream. At my parent's house (which was a small castle) I was with several other girls outside in the yard and there were men on horses. I was in some sort of danger and a knight came to rescue me. As he rode past very quickly he was trying to grab me to get me onto his horse. He missed. I was attacked my some unseen creature. The dream started over and I was again in danger and the knight sped toward me and threw himself off the horse to shelter me. He missed and I was attacked. The dream again started over and I was in danger. The knight rode as fast as he could and abruptly stopped and threw me onto the horse and slapped the horse so he'd run. The knight stayed and fought the creature but died. The dream started over again and this time the knight ran to me on foot, picked me up, and called for a horse. We both rode off as fast as we could. I woke up.

ER Reunions

Last night I dreamed I was in the ER to check on a friend (someone I went to middle school with). While in the waiting room another man was brought it and he had the exact same name as my friend and was brought it for the exact same problem. I was instantly worried that staff might confuse the two so I immediately went to a nurse and started explaining what I'd witnessed and tried to come up with a way to tell the two apart. To take my mind off of my friend's condition, I went to the mall and walked around a little bit. (This mall is no longer in existence.) I was walking around and noticed a guy in the food court that seemed familiar. I couldn't tell if it really was who I thought it was so I decided to call out his name. (I went to camp with this friend.) I did and he looked at me and after a moment said my name. We both smiled and hugged each other, surprised to see each other after so many years. He was there with his dad so I went over and talked to his father a few moments. I woke up.

Water Wars and Shopping

Last night I dreamed I went to a restaurant/bar by myself. I was worried I'd look like such a loser but I was really in the mood for the food at this place. Things were quite active this night, the place was packed and a football game was on. I didn't have to wait though because a table for one was readily available. I tried not to make eye contact with anybody being shown to my table. I sat down and started looking at the menu when something started happening in the kitchen. Whatever the hubbub was started spilling out into the restaurant. I found myself being bumped into by the kitchen staff and an airplane beverage cart. The floor gave way and we fell a few stories below and it was water. The delivery ship set sail and we swam to it. We were out to sea within minutes and we were being chased by bad people. The dishwasher from the restaurant strapped a small engine to the beverage cart and two of us got onto it and started to try escaping. It was working! The dream changed to being in the house of some friends of my family. Walking into their master bedroom I was in awe of their walk in closets. They stretched the length of an entire wall! I noticed the ceiling beams were exposed and they laid shelving boards across them and put boxes up there. I noticed all of the interesting outfits and shoes hanging all over the room, she'd just been shopping. I was in love with a certain pair of red heels. I stopped by a consignment store (mostly of children's stuff) and was shopping for a special tricycle, one for an adult with a built in child seat in the back. My little girl was just about 10 months old and I thought it would be fun go on bike rides. My mom was with me and we picked one out. I then found myself in a grocery store and ran into my cousin in the check-out line. We started to talk but didn't want to hold anybody up so it was a disjointed conversation but she invited me over to her house. As I was finishing up my business in the store I ran into my other cousin (the previous one's brother). He was very exciting to see me, gave me a huge hug and wanted me to meet him later for drinks. I told him his sister invited me to her house and he should come too. He seemed hesitant but said he'd be there. It was summertime so my cousin had a small pool set up in the backyard and we all had a good time playing and talking. That was it, I woke up.

Giant Me

Last night my dream started in a very Gulliver's Travels type feel. I dreamed I fell out of the sky into a desert village that had several houses built into rock cliffs. I felt bad that my large body destroyed so many small houses. I actually found a house that was my size so I couldn't help but investigate. I went in, thinking it was empty, and was startled to find a friend of my mother's. She explained she owned the house and I wondered why she owned a house in a mini-village. I liked the house very much, felt very cozy, and she and I had a good time looking at photo albums and talking about all the memories she's had in the house. The only thing I didn't like was one bedroom being adjoined to another bedroom and it had no access to the hallway, you had to go through one room to get to the other. But I looked at the design and structure and determined I could make a door from the hallway. That was it for the dream, I woke up.
