Drinking From Vases

I don't quite remember where I was at first, but I think I eventually ended up in this auditorium of a school or church. Scott (best friend from elementary school) was there, and I remember seeing his family and such, too. I was sitting back in the back left corner of the place, and Scott was kind of up in front of me and to my right. Some people that I knew were coming in, and as they did, they saw me and for some reason seemed surprised to see me. I'm not sure what they thought I should be doing, but none the less, they all acted happy and cheery to see me there.

Then at one point there was something about these vase looking things, and they each had water in them. We each had one, and I remember looking into mine, and there was water in there. They were quite large (about a foot in diameter) and they were fairly tall, a bit like a goblet or something, but they seemed awfully shallow for as tall as they were. The water was only about 2 or 3 inches deep. I think that I was about ready to take a drink from mine when Scott told me to drink from another one, which I think it was his. I noticed that the water in his was much clearer than in mine, and so I took his and looked into it, noticing the shining quality of the metal of the bottom of the 'basin'.

Then I took a large amount of the water into my mouth and let it sit there a moment before swallowing it. Then, for some reason, he was trying to find me an even better one. I remember looking in a couple of others, but in all of them, the water looked contaminated like in mine, which looked like a clear oil on the surface of the water. Then he had one and was pouring some of it out right in front of me to figure out if there was anything in it, and after a moment, the same oil stuff showed up in that one, too. So we ended up deciding that his was the best one after all.

Fast Antigravity Boots

I dreamt that I was with some guy that had invented these boots that were anti-gravity, and this steering wheel that went with them. When one wore the boots and used the steering wheel, they would hover a few inches above the ground and go wherever they directed them to go.

I remember being down at the end of the road that veers off to Pleasant Valley church from 256, and he was there along with a group of people. I was testing out the boots and wheel, and I got the idea to see how fast I could go. So I took off and found out that I could go 1000 miles an hour. I was so excited that I rushed back and told the guy about it, and he seemed pretty pleased.

Then I just kept them on for a while and messed around with them on and off, trying different things. I think, then, at the end of everything, someone else had them (or another set of them) and I remember seeing on them that it said something about 1000 km/h, and I knew that it could go faster than that.

Melissa's Moving In

I was supposed to be having this girl come and move in with me until I went down to Georgia. It was Melissa, the girl from Pittsburgh that I've been talking to the past couple of nights in Lycos Chat. I was talking to mom about cleaning up to prepare for her arrival, and we were just up in my room early in the morning, but it was very bright out.

Then as I was getting ready to start cleaning up, I was thinking about two computer monitors I had sitting on a shelf, and how she might need one of them. (The shelf was about where the attic door is) One of them was the monochrome green screen, and the other was full color. Then Eric (brother) came in and took the monochrome one and started to leave. I told him not to because I needed it for just in case if Melissa wanted to use it, but he didn't listen and started to just run off quicker. I remember following him out, and a piece that plugged into the back came off as he was going down the front steps.

Healing Water Vibrations

I was in my room and just my lamp on my desk was on (the one with the magnifying glass in it) and there was water in my room that was waist high. It was night time out. I then started to make circles on the top of the water with my hands. My right hand was going counter-clockwise, and my left was going clockwise.

After doing this for a fairly decent amount of time, there were thousands of little surface waves around me, and this humming sound started. It was much like one of those singing bowls that one taps and then runs the ringer around the edge of the bowl actually making the sound grow. I knew that this had healing properties for whatever part of me was in the water, so I was trying to get a little deeper and a little deeper but still keeping my hands going around and making the waves.

Then I stopped after a little bit (I think it was because I wasn't able to keep up the resonance) and then I remember being downstairs telling mom about it, trying to explain the whole thing to her, but either she wasn't interested, or she didn't understand.

Ignoring Bryan

I think that I was at work, but somehow it was my house, too. At some point Bryan (guy from Merillat that stalked me) showed up and was trying to talk to me, but I knew that he had sent that "Notice of Trespass" and therefore he couldn't really talk to me. So I was ignoring him completely, and he knew that he couldn't do anything about it. I thought it was fun to hear him talk and just act like he wasn't even there. After trying it for a little bit, I left the room I was in and came to a room that looked like my own, and he followed me. He kept trying to talk to me, but I just kept ignoring him. I think that either the dream ended or he actually got the message and decided to leave.

Changing Roofs In Harrisonburg

I was in Harrisonburg, and I remember that there was something about repairing all the roofs of all the shops there, and there was someone that was going to do them all, and someone else wasn't happy about it for some reason. I think it may have even been mom, and she was going to make them green shingles. What they all were originally were brown shingles, and none of the tops of the buildings were pointed. They were all flat, and then towards the edges of the roofs, they had a part that kind of hung down to the sides of the building. Kind of like this:






I don't think I was wanting the roofs to be replaced either, but I'm not sure why. Then it switched and I was at home and I had woken up and was writing down my dreams, or the parts I was having trouble remembering, from the night before (Just as I had been doing it last night, with the same writing and dreams and everything). That's how I remembered the number on the alien's saucer. I remember seeing myself write it down and thinking that I had to remember it. So I woke up immediately and wrote it down.

The Blue-Grey Alien

I was on this back road, and this tractor trailer drove by and had an alien craft in it, and when it went around this turn really quickly, the craft came out of the truck. The funny thing about it was that I caught it, and it was no bigger than a small dinner plate. There was a number on it, and it was 11228. I don't know what it stood for, but it was there.

I then remember being 'at home', but it looked like some house I had never been to before, but it was a very light place, decorated with a lot of off white and cream colors, and there were billowy curtains around the same color. I had the saucer in my hand, and I was trying to use it like a pendulum. I was asking it questions and trying to see if it would rotate in one direction or another depending on the 'yes' or 'no' answer.

After a couple of questions, I saw this little grey-blue alien sitting on one of the pieces of the furniture of the room right in front of me. It looked like one of these 'greys' that you hear about with the big black eyes and such, only instead of being a white-grey, it was more of a blue with a grey tint, and it was only about a foot and a half tall. After seeing it, I tried to ask the saucer a question again, and the alien kind of shook it's head at me. Then the alien was trying to teach me, but I'm not sure what it was teaching me. I don't know if it was trying to get me to listen to my inner self, or how to use the saucer, or how to communicate with the alien itself. I realized after a little bit that I had a form of telepathy with it, and I was able to tell what it was thinking and feeling.

So I was talking to someone there, and I was telling them what I thought it was thinking. Then the alien was eating a piece of plastic that came from the end of a phone plug, but it was more like one of the line splitters that we used to have that had room for two phones to plug into it. I remember thinking that was neat or gross or something, and then it held up the one it was getting ready to eat, and somehow pulled a second one from it and gave it to me to eat, and so I did.

I distinctly remember the taste and feel of the plastic in my mouth, and crunching down on it with my teeth. I don't remember trying to swallow it, though, even though I know I did. Then I remember knowing (through the telepathy) that it wanted to be alone, and so I left the room it was in.

The rooms of the house all went around into each other, forming a sort of circle of rooms, and I wound up wandering through the room with the alien again. I remember thinking that it was perturbed at me for doing that, and that it wanted me to leave again. So as I was leaving, I remember also knowing that it didn't want me to tell anyone about it. I thought about telling someone anyway, but it really didn't want me to.

I Tore The Sky

I was out in our side yard back behind the garden in the little clump of trees, and there were tables that were set up out there for us to eat off of. They were really long tables, or at least several shorter ones that were end to end (such as in a cafeteria or church) and Mike (former step-dad) and Carol (his new wife) were serving dinner there.

There was something about situating the tables at certain spots because of a grid of sacred spots that were three feet from each other. I remember seeing them as white circles about 1 foot in diameter. They ran the same directions as the edges of our garden, or as the building that's out there. Anyway, so I only remember as far as getting the tables set in place (one set ran in the direction of the building, and one ran perpendicular to it) and we were just getting ready to eat. Eric and Matthew (brothers) were there, and I think that Aunt Irene was, too.

Then the next thing I remember was that I was inside the kitchen, and there was some sort of really wacky weather going on that had something to do with stars. I was in the utility room, and then I came out where the old door was, and Aunt Irene was in there looking out of the window. I looked out, and it was dark, and had some funky blue streaks coming down in sort of a 'V' shape that never actually met at the bottom, and there were clouds and stars out even though it was supposed to be daytime. It was like the 'V' dipped below the horizon.

So I said something to Aunt Irene about it, and she said something about how it was just the window. I was frightened, but I opened the window anyway and saw that it actually was light outside, but there were still stars out. When I opened the window, it was like it actually tore the sky, and I could see the lines of the rips, which were right at those blue lines I had seen coming down. I could see the 'dark' through the closed window, and the 'light' through the open one.

Seeing the World As A Map

I was going to see Kate in Canada. I was looking at the terrain from way above the earth, like I was looking at a map (and there were even lines dividing states and countries and such) but I knew I was really looking at the world. As I was looking at it, I saw that much of Alaska was gone (especially the ever so famous islands that extend out towards Russia) and that a lot of British Columbia was gone, and that the borders inland had changed. I went out on a body of water from far south of there (like close the southern California or even maybe Mexico) but it was like it was right there at home.

Anyway, at first I was on a boat, and then as we got out a little ways, I somehow got out of the boat, and I used something called water skates (they looked like ice skates to me) and got on the surface of the water and within a matter of minutes, I was in Canada to see Kate. I think that I got there and saw Kate for a moment, and then I ended up zooming right back home. Then I went out on a boat again and then after a moment again, got out on the water with the skates and off I went again.

This time I remember being way overhead and seeing the mountains and roads from way above. Then It was like I was coming in for a landing, and I had to find a good place to land within the mountains (coming from the ocean, close to Alaska). So finally I found a tractor trailer road (one that was specifically for them, I guess) and landed there (I think with a tractor trailer).

Then I got out, and for some reason, some people seemed upset about it. Then as I went back towards the coast, I found "Kate" (who was actually Carla from school) and it was like we were dating or something. It seemed like we were up on top of the mountains, and we were these HUGE giants, and could see from Alaska down to the US boarder. I remember he climbing up and around some of these mountains to come say hi and to cuddle with me, and I was trying to tell her about how I got there so fast. She didn't seem to really care, and I think her mom was on the far side of the mountain from me.

Then I decided that I had to go back home, but I was worried about how to use my skates because I realized that the blades wouldn't hold me on top of the water again. So I ended up having to find some other way to get back down the ocean to get home, but I was worried about the time it might take-- hours as opposed to minutes.

So as I started back, there was also a new threat, and that was there were these humanoid aquatic creatures (like the typical "swamp thing" or something) and they were shooting something at the people and boats. I was worried about getting hit or making them mad, but I ended up starting back home again somehow anyway. It seemed as though they were standing on the water.

Then as I got close to the US boarder, I passed these big posts or something out in the water (like what's used to support the new big steel roller coasters or something) and seeing more of these things around there. I was frightened, but not terrified. I guess I was actually more 'worried' than anything. Then I think I was about home, and then I woke up.

First Lucid Dream

I was down at Mike's (former step-dad) house, but it was like I was living in it again. Then I remembered Matthew (brother) and Nick (step-brother) being there, and all of a sudden I realized that I was out of body, and that they could see me. I then realized that I was dreaming, and I started to try some things. The first thing I tried actually ended up being at my real current house, but I remember laying back on the kitchen floor and then making myself float up to the ceiling.

I think I was trying to show Matthew and Nick, but neither of them noticed. (Hey, I just thought of something... maybe I REALLY WAS in the kitchen in my astral body, and they were there in their physical body, but I thought that they could see me, so I was actually doing this stuff while they were out there this morning around 6:30!!)

Then I remembered being down at Mike's house again and I did the same thing in what was the old kitchen. I was right inside the door when I did it again, and then after I came down, I told Nick and Matthew that I was going to ask them about this when I woke up. I thought that maybe they would, but perhaps they were actually awake by the time this was happening.

Walking With A Broken Back

I was at something in Staunton where the President (Clinton, I guess) was involved, but it didn't look like the president. The first lady was also there, and I think that he was preparing to give a speech, and so I was there helping to set up the stuff.

Then somehow I got to be way up in the air, and I remember falling and landing flat on the lower part of my back. I knew I had broken it, so I got up (after breaking it???) and proceeded to get them to take me to a hospital. When I put my hand on my back, I could feel my bones sticking out farther than usual.

So I think they somehow got me to a hospital, and then I remember waiting and walking around looking for the doctor or the office he was supposed to be in because the receptionist wasn't helping or wasn't there. I wandered around for a while, and several times felt my back to feel the bones poking out still. It was a very odd feeling. Also, i was limping, but it didn't hurt at all. It was like I was limping because I felt like I had to for someone to believe me about my back.

Volcano In Merillat

I was at work (Merillat), and all of a sudden there was something about the fire department, and something about a fire in the plant. I think I knew at that point we were sitting on a volcano, and we all had to get out, but it seems like people were taking such a long time getting out. They kept working or something.

So right after that I was in the plant heading up to the drill and dowel department, and I saw Ellen (a supervisor) on my way there, and I stopped and told her that I loved her and how much she meant to me because she was almost like a mother to me.

Then I was up in the front of the drill and dowel area, and there was a trough of sawdust and dirt there, and some female (I don't remember if it was Ellen or not) was digging around in there with either a shovel or a garden rake. They ended up finding one of my old Casio Databank watches (a black one) in the dust and showing it to me. I recognized it, and it was dirty and didn't work right.Then they dug around some more and found another black one. That one was also mine. Then a third time they dug and found my silver looking one. None of these had bands on them, but were all in kind of the same condition.

Then all of a sudden from off to my left there was a lava flow that popped up out of the floor. People were running and screaming, and they were trying to get in touch with the fire department. I remember running outside and it was almost dark out, and there was the orange glow inside, but it was blue outside. Two environments that seemed so different.

Anyway, we got out there, and someone was trying to tell us to get out of there and someone else (I think it WAS Ellen this time) said that we couldn't, and it was like the hills moved and the brush adjusted, and we could see the road ahead of us, and then as both we kept moving and the land did, we could see a lava flow going across the road. I helped everyone though we were stuck, but I didn't think we were. I knew there had to be a way out.

Then we and the land moved more, and I saw that the lava flow was just puddling at the sides of the road, but there was still a drivable space in between, and I knew it wasn't going to be there for long. I remember thinking "Now is the time to go", but I don't remember if I left or not because the dream ended there.

Kinda Like Football And Wrestling

There was a school sport going on that seems like a cross between football and wrestling, or jug (from the movie "The Blood of Heroes" where they had to get the dog skull on the stick) and rugby.

Anyway, the way it went was that there was a mat that we were on (it was blue like the wrestling mats at school), and it was one on one, (like the wrestling) and I think we even had wrestling suits on. My opponents were always blue.

Anyway, what you had to do was get the ball (which reminded me of a football) and get it across the scoring line behind your opponent, and if they tried to hold you back, you just had to barrel through them. So in the first one that I did, I got the ball and just pushed right through the guy that I was against. I knew he was just an ordinary competitor, but I was using my 'spiritual energy' to tell myself I could get through him without a problem, and also putting a 'shield' around me to make it so that I could just concentrate and go right on ahead.

Then it was almost immediately after, and I was at a second competition, and I was on the mat with the guy I was going against (who was in blue and had on one of those things to cover your ears so they don't get hurt in wrestling) and I knew that he was really good at this whole thing, but I knew deep down that I could beat him as long as I concentrated as before.

I had the ball, and went rushing at him, but he did something that knocked the ball out of my hands and back close to my bounds. I knew, though, that if I could keep him from getting the ball and I still pushed him through his goal line, I could still win. I saw him go back behind me and grab for the ball, and I felt like I was going to lose, but I still had a feeling I could end up winning.

Bugged In Science Class

I was in Mrs. King's (teacher at middle school) science class. That was a class that I had in 7th grade. Anyway, as I went into the room, I was entering from the right corner of the room, and the table that I went to was way off to my left, back in the back of the room, but still close to the wall that the door was on. I even remember seeing the AC/Heat unit at the top of the room on the wall I was facing.

I got over to the table, and Adam (an annoying guy from school) was there. He was being a pest, and I didn't want him around me. I don't remember what it was that he was doing to be such a pest, but he was doing something, and it was making me mad. I remember telling him that I didn't want him around, and he got upset at me.

Then I remember trying to sit at the table (which was two of the smaller tables put together to form a square) and looking at the stuff on the table for the 'experiment'. I knew at the time what it was for, but I don't remember now. I think Adam was trying to bug me one more time, but I told him not to.

Where Did I Park?

First of all I was at Stuart Middle School with Stephen (a guy from school). I remember driving up and parking early on in my dream just outside of the front of the building, but then I don't remember much till I was in a classroom with Stephen, and all of a sudden I was worried about remembering where I had parked. I said something to Stephen about it, and he said "I don't know!" and was a little worried, too. Then I looked out the window, and it was like the ground outside was moving in some sort of strange camera effect, and I saw my car right there outside the window, and I was relieved. I think I even went to my car and went to drive off, but that's about where it ended.

Avebury Hill And Rock 23

I was driving to Avebury in England. I got to a gate, and there were a couple of old people in a booth taking money as you went in, and there was a sign there that said "$39.00" and "Groups $25.00". It meant that for individuals, it was 39, and for any size group it was 25. Now that I think on it, it was funny because the sign was in terms of Dollars, not British Pounds.

Anyway, as I was on that road, there was a parking lot off to my left for me to go in, so I did. I started driving up this pathway which led up this huge hill, and upon the top was Avebury. As I approached the top, I realized that people were waiting in line there, and that I wasn't supposed to be driving on it, so I backed down and found a parking space off to my right (as I was facing down the hill) by the pathway, so I parked there and got out and got in line.

As I stood in line, I could tell that many of the people in line were very old, and I could tell that they were just going to it for the tourism. I remember thinking that $39 was close to $40, and that it would be worth it to be able to go and see this place, even though I was low on money. Also, I was wondering when I'd have to pay because I didn't have to go by the people at the bottom of the hill and up the road. I had pulled off to park before I got to them, but I knew they had seen me.

So as I approached the top of the hill, I remember being able to see the stones, and they were only about as big as me, and with the way they were situated, I was thinking that this one as built before Stonehenge because to make an arch, it was just two stones leaned up against one another, and not one on top of two like at Stonehenge.

I was then very close to the front of the line, and I saw that there was a person controlling who went up when. Grandmamma was back behind me, and the guy asked if there were any healers or something, and a couple of people stepped forward and gave him their business cards, and grandmamma was one of them. The funny thing was that she gave him Shumala's (a friend in Staunton) card, and on the back it was listing more craft-like things, such as 'wire weaving' and 'pottery' and something that reminded me of 'silk flowers'. I remember seeing the guy kind of laughing at the card because he knew it wasn't the right stuff, but he let it go anyway.

Then I saw a dark haired man that was let in, and he immediately went over to a rock that was in the middle and set down his stuff next to it and outstretched his hands and was trying to feel the energy of the rock. I think the 'tour leader' or whatever (the guy taking up the business cards) made some comment about it. The guy at the rock was kind of looking upwards and his arms were out to his sides with his hands about shoulder height and elbows bent at about 90 degree angles, and his hands were turned towards the rock. He just stood there for the rest of the time.

Then finally my name was called (because I had to sign up earlier, I think), but he said "Jamie W.". I knew that was me, so I just said okay, and I was let in with a small group of people, and I decided that I wanted to feel the energy of the rocks, so I went to one off to my left (we were 'entering' kind of from the right side of everything) and went up to it and put my hands up close. I didn't know if I was allowed to touch the rocks or not, so I only got close, but not touching it. At about 6 inches away I could feel a 'buzzing' in my hands, and I knew that it was the energy of the rock, although, as I got within an inch or two, I had more trouble feeling it. As I came farther away, I could feel it again.

Then the 'tour leader' came over and said something about starting at that rock and counting to 23 and it had something to do with energy or fire or something. So I knew I was supposed to count around clockwise to rock 23 from where I stood, and get the energy from that rock over to the first one, and something would happen.

So I did that, and got over there, and then I brought some dirt and moss over and put it on top of my first rock. Then I realized that there were a couple of rocks that were missing, and that I had actually gone to rock 25. I remember wondering if I was supposed to be at that one, or if I should count the missing ones to get to the real 23. So I did that instead, counting the empty spaces as rocks and got to 23. But by the time I did that, the rocks were people, and I remember that the one I ended up at was a dark-haired girl about my age. I'm not sure if the rock energy from the first time had worked or not. Maybe it did, and that's what cause all the rocks to turn into a circle of people instead.

Which Dirt Road?

I think was with Kate (from Canada) and there was something about we were supposed to be going out somewhere. I don't remember much of what was going on, but at one point I left and went out down this dirt road and then to a paved road, and the out the end of another dirt road. I think I was driving the first time, but then after I got back, I decided to go out for a run, so I did, and right to the same place. When I got back, I think that Kate was going to ask me where I went to, and I was going to try to explain by saying 'to the end of the dirt road' but then I realized that there were two of them, and I didn't know how to distinguish one from the other.

Exploring the House In A House

I was with Stephen (from school) and his dad, and we were in their house, and one of them was telling me how they were scared to go into their grandfather's house (although I thought that they meant the room that he had been staying in). I think we opened up the door and went in anyway, and it was like everything had been left like the way it had been at the time he had died.

There were two rooms there, and to get to the farthest one, you had to go through the first because there wasn't another door in the other one. So we went into those rooms, but then all of a sudden we were going into another house, and they were talking about this one being their grandfather's house, but theirs was built just like this one. I asked which one was built first, but then I realized that was a dumb question, but they answered me anyway. They said that this one was.

So then we went into the room that was the same as his grandfather's at their house, and it was the same way, having to go through the first room to get to the second. Then I think they said something about Howard Armstrong being dead or something, but somehow I think they equated him with their grandfather. (Howard Armstrong was not Stephen's grandfather's name in real life)

So then all of a sudden I was going down these steps that lead to a basement door, and they were talking about how much money he (Howard) had. Then when we got to the basement door, they opened it and we went down the wooden steps. As we were going down, I think that Howard was there, and they were commenting on if he had so much money, why hadn't he gotten a motor to make his stairs go up and down yet.

The basement was really big, and I went off to the right when I got in. There was what looked like coat racks and shelves (like at Pleasant Valley Church) that lined the wall, and there were a lot of hangers and such there. I went all the way to the right and then towards the back, and I was waiting at a door for something. Then I turned back towards the front and went up to talk with the others. They were talking about all the framing wire that was up on the top shelf of the first coat rack, and how Howard (or the grandfather) had used that stuff so much. I think that's about where it ended.

The Twin Towers Are Going To Fall

The main thing I remember from last night is that I was either in or going to NY City, but I was very fearful of the skyscrapers falling down. Mainly, the twin towers, the empire state building, the Chrysler building, and one more that I'm not sure of (but it just looked like on of the twin towers). I remember explaining to someone in my dining room about how if you look up, you could see the buildings swaying.

I think then I somehow met up with Kate (from Canada), and I asked her if I could use one of her school books to show her and other people what was going to happen with the buildings. Then I think I remember being way up above a wire frame computer model of the city, and I saw the buildings in question, and I saw them starting to sway.

I then put my arms out and kind of behind me to somehow try to steady the buildings, and I think it started to work even though I felt deep inside that they were still going to go. Whoever I was with thought that they were going to stop, but I still wanted to tell convince them that they were still going to fall. I'm not sure, but I think one of them fell right at the end of my dream.

Escape From Earth

I was at some sort of station and getting into a spacecraft with stuff I had packed, and we were leaving because of an emergency dealing with a comet coming to hit the earth. I think that at first it was a drill to see how we'd do in getting all of our stuff together to go, and I remember that I was wearing a dark blue uniform of some sort, and I think it had some sort of red and white emblem on it. The inside of this craft was cream colored and reminded me a lot of a charter bus.

At the end of this drill of trying to get ready and get into my place so that we could leave, either the dream 'rewound' (I've had that happen before) or the actual even happened that we were preparing for. In the practice run, I remember doing fairly well with getting my stuff in the right place and getting myself to the right spot and doing the right things, but when the real thing came, I think I was a bit behind.

I remember seeing the earth outside the window at one point, and I think that I realized that the ones running this craft were aliens, but they didn't look alien. They looked very human, kind of how I have see pictures of the Pleiadians. In fact, I think it may have been them, but I'm not sure, but we were all wearing the same outfit.

Spider In The Trailer

The third one I remember was something about being over at grandmamma's trailer, and there was something going on over there, and I think it had to do with finding but still trying to avoid a spider or something like that. (I think I had a dream before about Matthew (brother) getting bitten, and it was from that, I think)

Railroad In Weyers Cave

In the second one, I remember briefly being on the railroad that runs through Weyers Cave, only I was just walking along it, or I had a special vehicle that went on it.

Stealing a Hard Drive From Work

I was at Merillat and they were working on the sawdust silo, and I think I was supposed to do something with one of their computers because they were replacing it. I remember thinking that I'd love to have the hard drive and the RAM and other stuff out of it, but I knew that they wouldn't let me. I had the thing outside of the maintenance office, and I was tearing it down out there, and I got the hard drive out of it, and I think I tried to take it, but someone caught me, so I was acting like I was putting it back because there was something wrong with it.

My Teachings

I was at Merillat, and I was back around the panel lay-up room getting scrap just in front of the door (there were the glue clamp for the Dimter is).

I don't remember most of what was happening there but there was something spiritual that was happening, I think. It even almost seems to me that I was the one doing the teaching this time, and I was having a wonderful time of it. I think I was using the box of wood I was picking up as a demonstration for whatever I was doing. I remember that Carey and Jeannie (coworkers at Merillat) were there, and there were several others that came in and out while I was doing that stuff. I think that even Bryan was there and breezed through at some point.

I don't remember what I was teaching, but I do remember that it was a very nice afternoon out, and we were going a lot by the natural light coming from the 'garage-style' door in the panel lay-up room. It seems to me that everyone that was involved with whatever I was teaching was really taking it quite well, and I was so pleased that they understood and were asking questions and really getting into it.

Frontal Wisdom Teeth and My Soul Mate

This one started out, and I was at Merillat for some reason. I think it had to do with there was this scientist that had this spherical shaped vehicle that traveled through caverns, and he had a way of getting from Grand Caverns in Grottoes, Virginia, all the way up to New York. I remember entering the caverns and getting into this thing and traveling for a short time.

Then after we got there, I went to a dentist to have my "front wisdom teeth" taken out. I'm not quite sure where they were, but to get to them, they had to go through right above my K9s. They talked to me about this for a good bit to make sure I understood the procedure, and there was even some casual conversation about something else, but I don't recall what. I knew that one thing I was a little worried about was whether or not the anesthesia would work because of my 'expanded consciousness'. The doctor told me I'd be just fine.

I remember laying back in the chair, and it was night time out. I don't remember them giving me the anesthesia or going through the procedure, but I woke up a little later, and I could just barely feel the cuts in my gums. Even then after a moment that went away. The doctor gave me a handful of pills, and some that were in a little package (the plastic with the foil on the back to punch them through). I put them in my pocket and thanked him, and then I left again.

I went back to that guy that had the vehicle that traveled through the caverns, and there were two other people there with him, and he was explaining his vehicle to them, and where it goes. So we all got in and traveled for a little while and started coming upon Grand Caverns.

I remember being worried that we were going to hit someone, especially a child, but I think that he said either that they'd be okay, or they'd just have to watch out for him. I remember wanting to look out through a window, but I don't' think there were any around, and I was wanting to see if anyone was outside the front of the vehicle. (now that I think about it, the thing looked a lot like the sphere in Contact that Jodi Foster was in, except the inside of it was more decorated to look like a subway car)

After we finally got back to Merillat, we got out, and I remember being back in the grading department, and I was talking to someone about the vehicle. I think that there was some sort of big deal about getting this thing put away, but I'm not sure what it was. I was trying to explain to this person what it did and where we were and stuff. They wanted to see it, so I took them out by the end of grading where they bring the wood in, and it was there sitting behind one of the stacks of wood, in the process of being moved.

Then the next thing I remember was that I was in a large public bathroom, except this bathroom was for Linux users only. So there were 4 bathrooms total. Normal men's and women's, and then men Linux users and women Linux users. I went into the men's Linux bathroom, used the bathroom, and then I was washing my hands when a girl showed up off to my right, also just having come out of a stall. I saw her and realized several things. First, she was in the men's bathroom. Second, she was a Linux user. Third, she was smiling very broadly. Fourth, she was very pretty. Fifth, she was my "soul mate". She had kind of light brown very curly hair, and she was wearing a light colored skirt and was carrying a purse. When I saw her and realized "who she was", so looked at me and smiled and then rushed over to me and started kissing me. We kissed for a long time before we finally left and came home.

When we got here, I remember walking in through the living room, and the TV was on. Then I saw my mom out in the kitchen and immediately introduced her to my family. I said that her name was Wendy. They were all pleased to meet her, and then I remembered having my teeth taken out, and they started to hurt. It started out as a little bit of pain, but rapidly progressed to be more and more painful. I could feel the places swelling, and I was starting to have some what of a tough time talking.

I remember going to the bathroom door and looking in the mirror and seeing that my lips were very swollen. I got back out to the kitchen, and mom had a bunch of ibuprofen for me to take. It looked like she had them in a container about like my ear plug case on my key chain, with just as many ibuprofen in it. I was supposed to take them all.

Then I remembered about the pills in my pocket, and I took them out. I looked at the ones in the plastic and foil, and I saw that they were for colds. Then the others looked somewhat like my multivitamin that I take every day, but I knew that they were the pain killers. I took one with some sort of drink, and then I just waited for the pain to go away.

Gene the Guard and His Dog

I was at Pleasant Valley Church, and I was inside for some reason. Then I either called or ran across Gene, the guard that's there in the guard house during the afternoons when I get to work (Merillat). He was there with his dog, and he was going to take him out for a walk. I remember saying that I'd meet him outside at the little parking space down by the back of the church near the playground. After a moment I went down and he was there with this big black dog, and he had his sleeves to his jacket rolled up and was wearing black gloves.

Following Grandma Beddows

I remember being at Grandmamma and Granddaddy Bailey's old house and I was out front with Grandma Beadows (great-grandmother). For some reason, there was something about being afraid that she wouldn't recognize me, and it seems like I was afraid of this because she wasn't recognising anyone else. But she DID end up recognizing me and talking to me at great lengths. It was the most lively I've ever seen her.

Then we were inside, and I think she was talking to me a bit more, and I think she was even leading me back through the house. It was like she was taking me back to show me where the bathroom was or something, and we passed Danny along the way. He was off in his room which was to the side, and he showed up at his door and saw me walk by. He was surprised and happy to see me, and was like "HI JEREMY!!". I responded with an equally enthusiastic "HEY!" and kept following Grandma.

Flying Towards The Mountains

I was over at our parked cars at our house, and I somehow figured out that I could fly. So I just took off towards the Blue Ridge Mountains in the east. I remember seeing the cars and trucks on the road below (which happened to be an interstate instead of 256) and thinking they could see me. There was something that I sensed about some sort of impending danger, but I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the bombs from the previous dream. I also remember looking down at my shadow and seeing it really big on the land below me. Now that I think back on it, my shadow showed that I was wearing a cape even though I don't really remember wearing one.

I Died At Least Three Times

It started out that I was at a beach or something, and all of a sudden there came this news of a nuclear weapon that was going to be used at or close to that spot. I don't think I got a chance to leave before it was dropped and exploded right there close to me. I think that I had jumped or something right before the explosion, and I was fired way up into the air. I was falling and heading kind of forward when I saw another bomb dropped.

Just as I was getting ready to land out in the water, this one exploded and I think it must have engulfed me. I died at that point, but then I immediately went to someone and told them that nukes were being dropped and they needed to get out of there. We could look off and see one or two being dropped a mile or two away, making huge explosions in the water, and they were getting closer. We all ran to somewhere unknown.

Then I remember being at work(Merillat), but I don't know if anyone there knew about the bombs or not, but then all of a sudden over by the Dimter at the back (by the hog) there was one that was dropped. I hurried and got out of there.

Then there was something about the US was able to get rid of the nukes if they could catch the one that was dropping them and drop one right when they did and have their bomb to go off right next to the first one while still in mid-air. It was believed that if they did it that way, then no one would get hurt by them.

I then remember being out in my back yard and seeing stealth bombers flying above me, and seeing bombs drop out of them. Then suddenly an American stealth was there, and it dropped a bomb over the other ones and it caught up to them and blew them up in mid-air, supposedly saving us from disaster.

Then I remember being up in the air and seeing the same thing with the other one that was dropped blown up by the Americans. The two countries could be told apart because the other countries stealths were plain, but the Americans had this grey stone cube sitting on top of theirs.

Then I remember being under one of the bombs as it was being dropped, and I saw a button underneath. The bombs were perfect black spheres, except for the button on the bottom. I realized that if the button could be pressed before it would hit the ground, it would have the same effect as being blown up in mid air by another bomb, and it wouldn't harm us.

I tried to use telekinesis to push the button to get it to go off, but I don't remember being very successful with it. (I think I actually died again) Then at one point I was out by where we park our cars beside the house and looking over towards the Blue Ridge Mountains between the barn and the tractor shed. I saw a bomb hit on the mountain, and I knew that they were coming this way. I think I ran over to the side of the barn that faces 256, and just about as I got over there, the bomb hit on the other side of the barn and blew the barn to bits across me and-- I died again.

Can't Seem To Get My Stuff

I don't remember the beginning of this one, but about the first thing I remember is being in this city, and I was inside of these walls, but the ceiling was open. It was like this place I was in wasn't really in a building, but it was surrounded by walls. If I faced out towards the city, I could see these big doors that you had to drive out of in order to get out. Off to my right, there was this tunnel that tractor trailers were in, and every so often one would come out.

There was some stuff back behind me that I remember seeing, but I don't remember what it was. I think there was something back there like another tunnel that normal cars and trucks used, and as with everything else, to get out, they had to drive out the big doors.

The city outside the walls was huge and extremely busy, but I never became a part of it. I remember one tractor trailer coming out of the front tunnel, and then just kind of parking there. It was getting ready to be loaded and head out. I think that my PE teacher from seventh grade was the one driving it (Mr. Duty) and I think I asked if I could go a long. He said okay, and so I spent a lot of time just waiting around to go. Then I realized that we were going to be gone for a while, so I wanted to get some of my stuff.

After waiting around for a little longer, I realized we were in Weyers Cave. It was like we were at the Farm Bureau, and that was the place for the truckers, but the place was right across the road from my house. So I ran over to my house and went in to get some of my stuff, and I went into my room (which is the one that's now Nick's (step-brother) room), but it was fairly empty. I didn't really seem to notice, and I was looking around or something for my stuff (I guess) and then I went back out to the truck where Mr. Duty was getting ready to take off.

I realized that I didn't have anything I needed (again) so I ran back in and grabbed stuff like my toothpaste and toothbrush and underwear. Then I went into my room (I guess my underwear wasn't in my room, but in the bathroom or something) and Nick and Carla (girl from school) were in there laying on my bed, and I got really upset because I knew that they were either going to have sex or they already had. I was yelling at them about it, and then Mr. Duty came in. I think he somehow said they could stay since I was going to be gone, and so I went back out to the truck with him. We were getting ready to leave, and I realized I STILL didn't have the stuff I needed. I needed extra shirts and pants since we were going to be gone for two weeks. I was afraid that he wasn't going to be happy with me for forgetting such obvious stuff, but I think that's about where the dream ended.

Ceremonies and Cockpits

I was at work (Merillat), and it was during first shift. I think I saw Diane (lady from work) there, and that's what made me realize what shift I was on. There was something about taking a break for lunch. There was also something about being out in the parking lot in my truck (but I don't really have a truck) and trying to leave, but I'm not sure if I was able to for some reason.

I think, then, about the next thing was that I was at this house, and I was on a bus, and the 'class' I was with had just arrived there. We were supposed to go inside and do something, like it was a field trip or something. So I got off the bus and went in, and there was something to do with finding these long fluorescent light bulbs and taking them around through various parts of this house to do something with them.

Then the last thing to do with the lights, we were supposed to go into this room that was white, and I think it had a glass ceiling or something, and we were supposed to have this ceremony with these lights to 'bury' them or something. I think we actually were supposed to take them in there, go through the ceremony, and then crunch them flat to 'send them on their way'. Well, for some reason, I missed the time I was supposed to do it, and it turned out that this girl from work (I don't know her name) did, too. We were standing there at the door to this room waiting for it to be opened again because it was only open at certain times, and we HAD to go through this ceremony before leaving.

So, as we were standing there I leaned over and kissed the right side of her head. She got all happy and said how much she liked that, so I did it again. Then she got even happier, and said something to me about it being her turn or something like that, and then she planted on right on my lips. I actually felt it! (I hardly feel anything in my dreams) Then for the rest of the time we were kind of giggly and cuddly.

Then the door finally opened, but just because the next group was in. They weren't supposed to go in yet because they had to do the other stuff with their bulbs first, and they were surprised that we hurried in as soon as the doors were open. Steve (supervisor from work) was there, and I don't think he was too happy about our going in right away. So we hurried and did our stuff with the bulbs, and then we ran back out and looked for out bus among all the others.

We finally found it, and we sat back in our seats. I saw that she wasn't sitting with anyone, and I was going to ask her if I could sit with her, and it was like I sensed that she wanted me to, but then Kim (a white haired girl from school) came in and sat with her. Then Jamie (a tall guy from school) was in the seat behind me talking to someone in the seat right across from me. The short girl from work was sitting right behind that person. I was wanting Kim to move out of the seat so I could sit there, but then she got right up in my face and started making faces at me. We went back to work.

As soon as we got to work, we went inside, and for some reason a lot of the lights were out. There was this metal platform that we had to go across to get into the main work area, and it turned out that it was electrified, and when you stepped on it, it forced you over into the work area, and you wouldn't be let back out. I didn't want to go on the platform, but I saw several other people doing it and I was watching them get shocked by it. Some were trying to run and jump, and most didn't make it, although there was this one big guy who did get across without being shocked.

Then I remember being down in the work area, and there were these big robots on either side of the aisle, and I was worried about what they were going to do. Then I remember seeing Carey (another girl from panel lay-up room at Merillat) and she had a machine that had a single leg that was huge and mechanical. It went around in complete vertical circles, and at the end where a foot should be it had this blade that it ran on. The blade would strike the ground and the leg would lift her way up and then as she went over, she'd drop back down again.

There was something about all of us having to get outside, and I had one of these things, too. For her, she was hitting a lot of the stuff overhead when the leg would go up behind her and go up over her. For me, though, I was trying to be careful about not hitting anything, especially as we went up this flight of stairs that was right at the door.

There was also something about getting these legs up to speed, and you wouldn't drop all the way back down. It was like it would spin around so fast that the leg would come all the way around and catch the ground and lift the thing up again before the 'cockpit' or 'passenger' had time to hit the ground, kind of like it was hopping.

Then we finally made it outside, and when we did, there was something about a bomb up with a balloon, and so Carey used her 'leg' and chopped the string that was holding the two (with the blade at the end of the thing), and the bomb dropped to the ground right by her, and we were all saved. There was also something about milling around some more and trying out these things, and I think there was also something about being in a little more trouble for something, but I don't remember what it was.

Grandmamma's Impostor III

[If you haven't yet, read part 1 and part 2 first]

It started out that I was at Grandmamma's funeral. I was out in the Narthex of the church, and mostly everyone else was in the sanctuary. There was someone else out there with me, (some male figures, I believe) but no one specific.

Then all of a sudden Grandmamma was there behind me. I saw her and realized that she shouldn't be there because she'd scare everyone else. She was smiling brightly and looking up to the right (her left). She did this a couple of times, and then I decided that she should really go before someone else saw her because they wouldn't understand, so I told her to go 'upstairs'. She started up the stairs, and as she did, I started to wake up.

I was almost fully conscious when I realized that I needed to get her "spiritual name" (the name of the impostor posing as grandmamma). I knew that, yet again, this wasn't grandmamma, so I somehow forced myself back into the dream right where it left off and just as she was going out of sight, I asked her "What is your name?? What is your name???" She replied "Kisid", and I said it to myself over and over. Then I wanted to be sure I could write it down, so I asked her how to spell it since I was thinking to myself "C-A-S--" and knew it wasn't right. She goes "K-I-S-I-D" and then I woke up. I said the name and spelled it over to myself several times before going back to sleep... I wasn't going to forget it. The only thing is now I'm not sure if that's Grandmamma's actual "spiritual name", or if that's the name of the being that had been posing as her.

Grandmamma's Impostor II

[If you haven't yet, read part 1 first]

It started out that I was driving in a pick-up truck to Staunton to pick up some mulch. I remember being on Rt 11 just past the Ingleside heading south, but not quite to the stop light at the fork in the road.

Then I remember being on a back road after I had gotten the mulch. It reminded me a lot of the road that goes from Fort Defiance to Sarah's (ex-girlfriend) house. It was kind of like there at the sharp turn before you start going up the hill to the intersection at Pisgah Church. Although, now that I think about it, it also looked quite a bit like the area right when you're going to the Green Valley Book Fair, right when you're at the fork right in front of the house getting ready to go right to get into the parking lot.

Then the next thing I remember I was driving down to the dairy barn, and grandmamma was there spreading some mulch, and I had gone to get her more. She was INSIDE of the dairy barn spreading it, but it was like there wasn't really walls to the outside, but just posts, and she was spreading it around on the mud and dirt floor.

She was spreading it kind of thin, and then all of a sudden it hit me that this wasn't really grandmamma. I think that the fact that she was spreading mulch, and that seemed like something that she wouldn't' be doing was what tipped me off. I think that grandaddy was also close by somewhere, and there was some sort of thought that ran through my mind relating him to the situation, like he'd never let her do such a thing like working like that. (but I know in real life he would've just because they lived on the farm we're on now, only then it was theirs, and they did all the work themselves...)

Anyway, then 'grandmamma' tried to pay me for bringing her the mulch, but I don't think I wanted the money just because I knew it wasn't her. I think I ended up taking the money anyway, though, because she almost started to get mean about it, or I didn't want this thing to get angry with me for not taking it.

Then about the next thing I remember was that I was in the house, and I was getting ready to leave. I think this thing gave me a hug or tried to or something, and as I was getting ready to leave, my mom showed up. We sat down on a sofa down in the dining room where grandmamma used to have it
before we moved in, (in front of the window facing Garber's farm) and the 'grandmamma impostor' went outside to work on the air conditioning unit that was right outside of the window.

I sat at the end closest to Nick's room, and mom sat at the end closest to mine. We were talking about how this thing was impersonating grandmamma, and that it was actually doing a good job at it, but it was 'too technical' because of the stuff it was doing, such as the mulching and the working on the air conditioner.

Then in the lull of the conversation, I looked at mom and told her that I loved her. She then looked at me and told me she loved me, too. Then I looked down, and the sofa had
turned into one of the scrap boxes from work, and there was a lot of sawdust and little strips of
wood in it. (even though in the dream I didn't notice the change) I messed around a little with
the sawdust from the 'front' of the box (the side facing away from Garber's) and then we decided
that we were going to leave.

We got up, and we were walking towards the kitchen, and one of us (I think it was me) got the bright idea to say goodbye to this thing outside the window that was trying to be grandmamma.

So I said 'bye' and it let out this long and painful sounding 'byyyyyyyyyyyeee' in this terrible and raspy (yet almost childish but masculine) voice. Then it did it again, longer and even more painful sounding. I realized that this thing was almost in pain or something from being in grandmamma's form for too long, and even it's face was starting to distort more than it had already been. (faces are almost always distorted in my dreams) and it even almost looked like it was in pain. I saw mom kind of shoot it a glance like asking "What's your problem?", and I kind of did the same. Then I realized that this thing was going to be busting out of grandmamma's form, and something told me that I didn't want to be there when it did, and that ended up scaring me awake.

Matchbox Sized Helicopter

I was going in the door of this hotel, and I was going to this 'game' for some reason. I don't know who else was involved with it, but I remember that there was supposed to be this series of tests that the group of people were supposed to go through. (Some game, huh?) They were physical tests, and I think there were six of them, but we only had to choose one or two.

So I'm pretty sure I did my first one, which ended up being a simple one, but then I got drafted into doing another one that was much more difficult and I wasn't looking forward to at all. I don't remember what the first one was, but the second one had something to do with being on this cliff and getting ready and waiting for this helicopter to come and pick me up and fly me out far enough that I had to fall through this gigantic tube and into icy cold water of this river. Withstanding the cold water was actually the test itself.

So my 'instructor' told me that I had to go, and it seems to me that it was either mom, or someone that looked a lot like her. So I was transported up to the top of the cliff, and I think I remember seeing some houses and hills up kind of where I was, and I could see the river way down below me.

The time of day was either late in the evening, or it was very early in the morning. It was overcast, and it was fairly dark. I had a sense of just standing around and wasting time even though I knew I was supposed to be getting ready and getting dressed for my test. After a little while, I think my instructor showed up and told me to get ready because the helicopter was supposed to be there at 4:25. Even though I was told 4:25, it somehow registered as being 4:15 when it was supposed to be there, but it's like the two numbers were the same.

I think I got up to the top of the cliff at 3:45, and I was supposed to be ready within the half hour. I think it was actually later than the time that the chopper was supposed to be there, so I hurried up and got ready and dressed, and just as I did, the chopper showed up. I reached up, and the thing was no bigger than a Matchbox car, but I held on to it while it flew me back away from the edge of the river, and then we turned around and went towards the edge of the cliff.

Just as I got over the edge, I let go and rolled myself up into a ball and did a forward somersault as I went down into this big tube that was just big enough to be comfortable to fall through. I came out the other end and landed in the cold cold river, but I don't remember feeling the cold water. I just remember being in the water. Then my instructor was there and I walked up onto the bank with her and some of the rest of the class.

The Eiffel Tower Swing

I was at this place that was supposed to be King's Dominion, but I'm not 100% sure about that. There was this new ride there, and it had these levers at the bottom (a lot like what you see in cartoons that come out of the floor and are supposed to trigger stuff) that made the thing work. I think that Matthew (brother) was with me, and there was something about I was supposed to be running this ride, or someone at least wanted me to try to, but I didn't want to.

Then I saw the thing starting to run, and it looked a lot like a swing set, except it was huge, like the Eiffel Tower at King's Dominion, and the swings went all the way around. The thing was kind of sitting out in the middle of nowhere, and I didn't see any other rides around. Everything was barren, and it was like we were in the middle of a sunset because everything had this kind of dark red glow (like a sunset hitting it). I think I saw this thing from the side, so I could see the full circles these swings were making.

Then I saw that there was a second "swing" on the contraption, and it started going in the opposite direction of the first one.The first was going clockwise, and the second was going counterclockwise. Then it all of a sudden hit me that Matthew was on one of these things, but I don't remember if I was happy or if I was scared. Then I think that Matthew somehow got off, and then he ran the thing for a bit. I saw that the way it worked was not that you pushed a lever one way and it ran and then pushing it the other and it stopped. It was more like pumping. The harder and faster you pumped the lever, the faster that these things went around...

Grandmamma's Impostor I

I was in my blue gym shorts and going from my house down to 256 and then going down towards Weyers Cave on a bike. Just at the end of the first hill, I passed a very gruff old man and his assistant, and I believe that they were doing some sort of archaeological dig or something. I went past them, and then I turned around and started to come back and on my way through, I almost ran into the old man. I think that I stopped to see what they were doing, and that's when I figured out that they were doing a dig of some sort.

I watched for a moment, and then I think I asked the old man either what they were doing, or if I could help out. Either way, I think he responded to both questions and said "What does it look like we're doing?" and I think he said that he'd have to think about if I could help out. I said okay, and then I went home, but it actually ended up being Pleasant Valley Church.

I was down in the basement, and in one of the rooms (I think it was supposed to be the youth room, or even what is now the nursery school room) there was stuff set up to sleep on, so I went over to that area, and I think I may have been packing it up to go somewhere. I remember hoping that I would be able to help out the old man. I also remember that this bedding stuff that I was packing up was Sarah's (ex-girlfriend), I think. I know it wasn't mine, but it seems that it was hers.

Then after a little bit the old man came down and said that I could join him on his dig, and I was pretty happy about it. Then either him or his assistant told me that I'd have to wear something besides just my blue underwear, and I told him that they weren't underwear, but they were actually gym shorts. The guy just kind of laughed and said, "okay, your gym shorts then." I said okay and I think I put on something a bit better.

Then I went and met the old man, and he said that the first thing we had to do was go and get our food. At first this sounded like a good thing, but then I realized that it was going to be something I didn't like to do to get it, and he ended up telling me that we had to catch it ourselves, and that we were going down to the beach to get it. I knew that if I were going to get anything, I'd have to go and pick up crabs and stuff that I didn't want to touch, but I knew that if he thought I was a sissy, then he wouldn't let me on the dig. So I said okay to going and getting our food, and then we went upstairs through the narthex of the church to get ready to leave. (I think that I must have been out in the parking lot at one point, but I'm not absolutely sure how or when that would've been, but I just have this image of the side of the church and being in that side parking lot)

As we were going through the narthex, I think that I saw a couple of my family members, and I knew that we were at a wedding for someone. The person that was having the wedding was someone that I knew at the time, but I don't' remember who it was now.

Then I looked up at the ceiling of the narthex, and it was open to a second story and had a balcony up there. First there was only one person up there, who I think was mom. Then I was looking around again and then when I looked back up, there were more people. This happened a couple of times, and eventually Aunt Irene was up there, too. Her and mom were crying because of the wedding, and then all of a sudden I remember seeing flashes of lightning or something (yes, inside the church), and for a brief moment, I saw grandmamma to the right of everyone else up on the balcony. [Note: My grandmother passed away on Aug 1, 1997]

She was wearing a lavender dress with white flowers and collar and she may have even been holding a white purse. After another flash or two of lightning, she disappeared. After a moment mom had some how gotten down to where I was, and she said that if Kate (girl from Canada) and I hadn't looked away, we'd have seen grandmamma. I told her that I HAD seen her.

Then suddenly I got a very bad feeling, and I thought that I should ask grandmamma to protect me from some sort of evil energy or lower spirit that I could feel approaching me. By this point, all of the visual to my dream had gone away, and I was quickly waking up. Just as I was getting ready to ask her to protect me, I suddenly felt something squeezing my entire body. I was very close to being awake. I tried to say "protect me!" out loud, but I couldn't. No part of me would move. I was awake at this point, and then as suddenly as the squeezing came, it left and I tried to say it again, and it barely came out. I didn't want to go back to sleep after that because I was very scared of this evil energy coming back. I realized at this point that this thing that appeared to me in my dream wasn't grandmamma, but it was actually something bad disguised as grandmamma, almost so I would let it "in" or invite it to confront me.

Stuck On A Ride

I was at some sort of amusement park, and it seems that I was some how stuck either on or around the track of one of the roller coasters. Pat (step-dad) was there, too, but he was just talking to me, but he wasn't stuck. I think he might have been telling me to get out of there, but I'm not sure. I think I did eventually make it out, but I don't know what I did after that.

Dimension Of The Past

I was trying to get away from some people, and during the course of the dream, I recognized them, but now I don't know who it was. I ran into this tent or something like would be at a circus. Either that, or the building I was in had this place on it that was these flaps like what could be on a circus tent. I went through there hoping that the people wouldn't find me, but I could hear them close behind me, and I knew that they knew where I was.

I think that for a moment I was Batman, and as I kept going, there were more and more of these flaps to go through. There were some places that I had choices of which ones to go through, so I'd choose one hoping that I'd eventually lose them and find my way out.

Suddenly, I was in this HUGE tent looking thing, and I could see a sphinx off to my right, kind of back in this corner. It was very small, maybe only as big as a tiger or something, but I wasn't sure if I just wasn't close enough to it or not. But I do remember that the nose was intact.

I saw it and realized that I was in another dimension. I either knew or I was hoping that I had found the civilization that had built our own sphinx. I think that I briefly saw two girls next to it, kind of dressed in what I would imagine coming out of Jesus's day. I looked right ahead of me, and there was an opening in the tent, so I went towards it to see what was out there.

When I got out there, the two girls were there again, and I think that I heard them talking, and they weren't speaking English, so I was starting to get worried. As I looked around, I noticed that this place looked a lot like my house, and I was coming out of about where the kitchen would be. I asked them a question, and I'm not sure if they replied or not. Then I asked them if they spoke English, and they said no and something about going to papa.

They walked over to about where our side door on the house is, and there was kind of an older man there at the door working on something. I looked in, and the room looked more like it was "the first door" to our shed to the side of our house. I asked him something, and again, I'm not really sure if he said anything.

I started to worry again, and I went and looked back in the door I had just come out of. It, too, looked like the room behind the "first door" to the shed. But I could tell it was a kitchen or something like that, and both of the girls were in there. I think they were smiling and giggling as I looked in. I think that there was even some sort of table or counter coming from the left side of the room that one of them was working at. The other one was standing at the end of it talking to her. I went back out and asked the old man if he spoke English. I think that he said "not a word", and he kind of smiled. I asked him if he was sure, and he said "I'm sure" and kind of laughed. I did too... I was so happy to find someone that spoke English!

We started talking for a little bit, and he was telling me some stuff about where I was. At one point he said, "See? It's a bunch of clones!" and I looked, and I recognized the houses to be ones from the road that goes back to Stephen's (friend from school) house. The main ones I remember seeing is the one that Becky (girl from elementary school) used to live in and the one next to it.

I then realized something and I said to him, "you guys are just a way behind!" and I realized that this dimension was just like the one I came from, but it was many many years in the past. It was "catching up" so to speak. He said that I was correct, and then we started talking about stuff.

I remembered thinking that if we were back too far, then there wouldn't be any computers. I think I then asked who the girls were, and he said that they were his daughter and his wife. I was shocked. I thought that they were both too young for one of them to be married to him, but she was over at her door, and her head piece was off, and I could see her long dark hair and that it had grey streaks in it.

Then the man and I started walking, and I think we went through this big field or something for a while, and then eventually ended back up at the end of the building at the corner of the house. I was telling him things about the future, such as computers and going to the moon and stuff. Then we came upon a HUGE table, and there were parts laying around on the ground. Even whole table tops. I asked him why they were so big, and he said that there were going to get smaller.

He started talking about a guy (who he called "Joe" I think) that had a "clutter desk", which was a small desk with a computer on it, and how he had done something so well with those conditions that they were going to have to start using those small tables just because of him. Then as we were walking in between these two tables that had high backs on them (which made it feel like a cubical in an office) I saw a computer sitting to my left. I was amazed at how new it looked, and so I took a look at it up close, and it was either a 72, 86, or 94 Mhz processor, and I thought that for the time that they were supposedly living in, it wasn't bad. He said, "nope, it's not bad".

Then suddenly we were inside and I happened to think of another "future" thing that I thought would amaze him. I said, "And we're going to Mars!!" He just kind of goes "Oh yeah?" and turns and smiles at me over his left shoulder. I felt that either he didn't really care, he didn't' quite get the impact of my message, or he just didn't understand. I said "yeah! In two months!" and he kept about the same tone and said "wow".

Then we were at the bottom of my stairs in the dining room (but I'm not sure which dimension we were in. I think we were still in his), only instead of stairs coming up, there was a conveyor belt. For some reason we were piling all these books on it so they could go up, and I was hoping that this would help to get me home.

I was either thinking or telling him about he "face" found on mars and the pictures they're supposed to be taking of it. We were then doing something with the books on the conveyor, and there was this huge pile of them there where we were, and he was helping me out to move them or something. He had a utility knife in his hand, and he was cutting some of the books, I think.

Then he got too close to my hand and had the blade pressing against it. I jumped out of the way so I wouldn't get cut, and I think he jumped back, too, and we saw that the knife was actually moving by some force controlling it from underneath. I remember jumping back and putting my arms out to the sides and kind of hunched over the end of the conveyor. I shoved several of the books off onto the floor, and I saw a butter knife or a steak knife laying there. As I was moving from the end of the conveyor to back to the side of it, I said loudly, "if anyone is there, please let me know!" and the knife started to rotate counter clockwise...

Then Thess (my cat) woke me up scratching my door to be let in. =0(

Look Over There, Nick

This one had something to do with being down at the dairy barn with Nick (step-brother). Even though it was down at the dairy barn, there were times that it seemed big enough to have been the 'big' barn. I remember that I was trying to show Nick something about it, like how to get somewhere or where something specific was. We were trying to look at the far side of the barn, which was the side facing the Blue Ridge Mountains. I was telling him "over there" or "look over there" or "around there" or something. I think I remembered seeing a podium with a light on it, and maybe even a little table with a goose neck lamp on it, of which at least one was turned on.

Speedboat Jumping Again

I had another dream with that same speedboat jumping on the banks of the river. I was in the boat with the same people, and we were coming back to that 'parking spot', and the guy missed the turn. There were several people on the bank, and he went over and hit the bank. Once again we were airborne and kept going higher and higher. I think we even went higher in this one than before. Then I looked down and saw all the trees and we started to go down towards them. Just as we were coming down, we saw the river bank, and it looked like there might be possibility of us landing in the water, but we ended up hitting the bank enough to keep us out of control when we hit the water again, and we went straight over and hit the opposite bank and up we went again. Higher than ever again this time, so high that the feeling of falling almost hurt on the way down. We saw the trees rushing up to meet us, but I woke up right before we hit.

Trying To Feed The Spider

There was something about Sarah (ex-girlfriend) calling me and telling me that her and her family were going to Ocean City for something for Biology or something like that. For some reason I decided to get my family to go, too.

While I was out there, I think I had to catch a crab or a spider or something. I finally got one and took it onto the house we were staying in, and I was in a room that looked a lot like Nick's (step- brother) room at his apartment. I remember looking between the front two legs of the thing (it was only about the size of a locust) and seeing two little teeth coming out of a little hole.

For some reason it looked a lot like it was in between my fingers, and that kept coming up throughout the dream, but when I saw it in that perspective, it didn't scare me, really. I think that I figured out that I had to feed the thing, so I ended up finding a bug, that had just been something else (I don't remember what, but it was something very familiar) but it had just turned into the bug.

After a little bit the bug was on it's back and it wasn't moving much, and I had the spider (it was no longer a crab) in a little jar that it barely fit in (and it was about the size of half a film container). I was trying to get the spider to eat the bug, but it wouldn't or it couldn't catch it or something. Then I decided to try to get the bug onto the lid of the jar and somehow put the lid on without touching it because I didn't want to touch the bug or the spider. I think I had a pair of tweezers that I was trying to use, but either the jar or the lid kept flipping over and it would go too far or not far enough to get them together.

After a little bit, I think the bug actually flipped itself and the lid onto the jar, and the spider started to get to it. I called someone in to take a look at it because I was so proud, but before I could get the thing screwed on, it fell off again. I think that the spider tried the same trick, but it just missed completely, or the exact same thing happened that happened before. This happened several times.

Then I think that before I could get the two put together, we had to leave. We were on a speedboat and I was trying there to get the lid with the bug put on again, but it just wouldn't go without my touching it directly, and I wasn't about to do that.

Bird In The House

Then I had a brief dream of that there was a bird outside a window in a house I was in, and it looked a lot like Scott's (a friend from elementary school) house, but instead of the front door being in place, it was a window instead. I opened the window briefly, but the bird came in by accident. I didn't know what to do, but all of a sudden Thess (my cat) was jumping up at it and trying to catch it. I think the bird landed up on top of the entertainment center (it was in the same place as Scott's house) and Thess either jumped up there to climbed up there and went after it. I'm not sure if she ever got it, though.

Jair In The Movies

I was in a city, and I think I was going to see someone that was a friend of mine (he was famous and named Paul, I think), but when I got there, he was upset at me because I had been in more movies than he had. I thought that was ridiculous because he had been in a lot of movies, and I had only been in one. He was up in his 'house' which overhung the street I was walking around on, and I was yelling up to him, and he was yelling back down to me.

I remember seeing his wife there, too, walking past some of the windows in a white robe or a white sheet or something. I was trying to get him to let me in, but he wouldn't because of the movie thing. I tried to assure him that he had been in more movies than me, but he wouldn't hear of it. He told me that there were lots of times that I was filmed and didn't know it.

I started trying to think back to times when I saw someone carrying around a big TV camera, and I could only remember one of those times, so I said something that I may have been in two, then, but he was still in more than me. He kept denying it and saying that he had a book that said I was in more movies than him. I asked to see the book and I think that he finally let me up, but when I got up there, he was gone.

I found the book and looked at it and I think the title was "Jair in the Movies" And it had a list of all the actors named Jair or Jeremy that had ever been in a movie. It had me listed in there, too, even all the ones that I didn't know I was in. I was in a very small room that had a bunch of old cluttered farm stuff in it, I think, and there was a door to my left. I started to look at the book, but the dream ended there.

Jumping Speedboat On The River

I was in a boat on a river. It was kind of a speed boat or something. I think that it started out that I was by myself, and that was just kind of goofing around with going up river to this fence or gate or something that crossed the river, and then going back down river. As I was going back down river, there was one spot just as I went around a little bit of a turn to the right that I had to suddenly make a sharp right and up into this little space. I think it was just this little place where I could set the boat. Anyway, I think that the river went down kind of steeply from there, and I didn't want to go down, so that's why I had to be sure to hit that 'parking spot'.

Suddenly, I was no longer the driver, but now I was a passenger. There were four of us, and a older guy was driving it. He went up past that gate that I was turning around at, and a lot of what we were doing was hitting the river banks and jumping the boat way up in the air, somewhere between 100 and 200 feet at least. I remember being way up in the air and feeling the sensation of falling way down.

I saw all these trees lining the river banks, and they were all twisted and gnarled, but still very graceful and beautiful. There were several times that we hit the trees on the way down, bouncing off the branches, hitting the ground and eventually finding our way back into the water where we'd only go and do it again and again. It seems that we did that for a while, and then we went back out past the gate again and to that little 'parking spot', where I had to be sure to tell the driver that he had to make that sharp right turn.

Eiffel Tower's Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down

In the second one, I was going to see the Eiffel Tower, but I don't think it was in France. It may have been the replica in King's Dominion. Anyway, at one point I was up in the top part of it, but instead of elevators coming up the middle of it, it was like it was completely open in the middle. It was just the platform with the high fence around it.

At first everything was okay, but then I noticed that it was starting to sway just a little. I said something to someone else about it, and they said "Yeah! It is!" and they started to panic. Then I was down on the ground pointing up to the top of it and telling someone "See? It is moving." Then I was on top again, and the whole thing was swaying a lot now. I then thought that it was going to fall over, and no sooner than I thought it, it started to.

Instead of it falling over to one side it was swaying to, instead the platform started to just drop straight down. I remember that there was a post or something coming up out of the floor, and so I held on to that all the way down. Just before impact that dream ended.

Anna Paquin And The Fruit Buffet

I was at Pleasant Valley Church, I think, and there was some sort of party or gathering going on. There was a meal, or at least some snacky eating, and so I was wanting to get some. At one point, I was introduced to this girl that reminds me a lot of the girl in "Fly Away Home" (Anna Paquin). In my dream I liked her a lot, and I didn't want to do anything to disgust her or turn her away in any way. Her family was very rich, and she knew all this etiquette stuff, and I didn't. I was worried about eating some of this stuff the wrong way and looking "uncivilized" to her.

This meal or whatever started off with fruit, and there was a bunch of it on this round table, a lot like our real one in the dining room. She picked up a couple of pieces and put them on her plate, and then I did the same. I remember seeing a plum and thinking it would be too messy to eat in front of her. I also saw some blue pineapple chunks, so I used my fork and picked those up. I think I may have also picked up a tangerine or an orange, too. But that also could have been her that I saw pick that up. She picked up something that relieved me and made me think that I could possibly be myself during this time. (dunno what it was)

We sat down at a table that was just around the corner in this little area that was about the size of my room. There were other people there, and I think that her parents may have even popped in for a moment, but if they did, they weren't there for long. After much trial and tribulation, I think I finally found some way of eating that was acceptable, and I think that she even ended up liking me, too.

Don't Catch A Second Cold

I went into Pleasant Valley Church, and I passed an older lady that I knew (but I can't remember who it was now) She was there for a church meeting, but she was dressed very casually. She said that she had a cold, and so she was going home. I told her not to catch a second one, but she didn't hear me, so she asked me what I had said, so I told her again to not get a second one, and she laughed. I think by that time her husband was also there, and he laughed, too.

McGruff and the Case at the Muddy Fort

I was outside of Fort Defiance High School. Even though I was at Fort, it was sitting in a different place and situated differently. Anyway, there was a lot of construction going on, and so there was a lot of mud and everything around. There was this "hill" that had been dug out, and the whole slope of it had these huge tire marks in it and it was extremely muddy. At the top there were a lot of trees. Pine, I think. There were a lot of people that were walking and romping around on the muddy hillside. They were all students about my age.

Then the bell rang for class to begin, so they all started coming down off the hill. For some reason, since they were coming down, I decided that I was going to go up and take a look at it for myself, just to see why everyone was up there.

I passed this couple, and they were kind of hippy like. I finally kind of floundered my way to the top, but then the next thing I remember was that I was back down at the bottom and between the school building and a small grove of trees. The hill was still visable about 200 feet away from me.

As I looked around, all these people were terribly muddy, and they were all sitting and laying in the mud. Some of them were prepared to start class, but most of them were goofing around and wrestling in the mud. There was one big pile of people, and it was just a bunch of guys that were goofing around. There was one on the bottom, though, that was being particularly mean or something, and I think that he was either yelling at me or someone close to me. He looked a lot like the lead singer from "Ben Folds Five".

Then something happened and he ended up getting in trouble for whatever it was that he was doing. I think that he hurt or killed someone in his anger. But for some reason, I was worried about getting in trouble for it myself. I think that the teacher sent us both away or something, and so then we ended up in a place that was a lot like a combination of a church and a house.

We went into one room, and it looked like my dining room. Then McGruff (the "take a bite out of crime" dog) came in with his son and they were going to sniff around and find out who did "it". (Like I said before, I think that someone got killed) So I went with the son as he sniffed around and looked around, and we suddenly found bits of broken glass everywhere over by a window that's where the basement door is now (in my grandmother's house). They were on the rug and under the rug and on the wood floor next to the rug. I started picking up every little piece of glass I could. It was a creamy white glass that was semi-transparent.

I was putting all the pieces into my hand so we could show them to whoever was in charge. We started finding so many that I put the first handful into my mouth so I could start picking up a second handful. After we finally found a lot of it, we went and took the glass to whoever we were supposed to show our findings to. I dumped out the handful of pieces, and then I was trying to spit out without cutting my mouth. I could feel the wet chunks of glass up towards the front of my mouth, but I didn't want to push them too hard because I didn't want to get hurt.
