Goddess Head

I had taken some sort of trip, and I was in Savannah again. It was night time out, and I was walking along River Street trying to get home. (or at least what was supposed to be River Street. There were tall old buildings on my right and open space (including a river, perhaps?) to my left)

As I was walking along, I was feeling slightly fearful, although I'm not sure what the reason was for it. I wound up passing a person here and there. One was a woman. A little later I passed a black man wearing green mechanic's overalls. He wound up trying to strike up a conversation with me, but I really wasn't interested in talking to him.

Eventually he figured out (whether I told him, or he just assumed it from something I had said, I can't remember) that I was heading home, but I still had a ways to go. He offered for me to stay at his place for the night, but I didn't really want to. I tried to keep walking, and he was walking along with me. Finally we wound up passing a building and he walked up the stairs and said that we had made it to his place, and that I was welcome to stay the night. I declined and continued walking, but somehow I wound up in his apartment anyway. (when I got into his apartment, it was a nice one. Things were a warm cream color with excellent lighting. The furniture all looked new and comfortable. It was a big apartment, almost more like a house.)

The strange thing is when I got in there, he was no longer the black guy I had been conversing with, but he was now Sean (my cousin), and he was sitting on the sofa. For some reason, though, I still wasn't wanting to stay with him. I think at this point I was afraid that he was going to try to hit on me, even though I was his cousin. Soon after this, I think I finally gave in and found a place to sleep. I went to sleep and wound up having a dream within a dream.

I was floating out in the middle of this big grayish spherical room. It looked very technological, having piping and lights and such built into metallic paneled walls. There seemed to be several passageways that led out of the room, one basically lying in each major direction. There were 4 that went out horizontally (to my front, back, left, and right) and then one that went up and one that went down.

Right out in front of me was a woman's head. It was all metallic, and the color was between a gray and light blue. I think that her hair was even close to this color, although it may have been just a little darker. The only part about her that wasn't metallic were her eyes. They looked normal. Anyway, after a second, she got this big scared look on her face and did an exaggerated look downwards. Her head actually kind of shifted upwards while here eyes looked extremely down into the the tube below.

I wound up looking down to see what she was looking at, and when I did, I took off in that direction, flying down into the darkness of that tunnel. I don't remember what happened while I was down there, but the next thing I knew was that I was in the spherical room again, and the woman was in front of me again. She wound up doing the same thing as before, but this time I knew I didn't want to go down, so instead I looked up and I flew up in that direction. This tunnel was much better lit, but for some reason it still scared me quite a bit, and I wound up waking myself up by yelling.

Hurricane Irene

[Recently in waking life there has been a big hurricane in the news named Irene. It has come up through Florida and Georgia and North Carolina.]

In my dream, the hurricane had continued to make it's way up through Virginia, although, instead of coming from the south, it was coming from across the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east. I was outside, and it was terribly windy and such out, but not much rain on this side of the mountains.

As I looked across to the mountains, I saw that it had rained so much over there that evidently it had filled up the valley over there with water, and the wind was blowing so hard that it was making it churn around like an ocean. Waves were beating on the other side of the mountains, and they were jumping up over the tops of the mountains and splashing down just on the other side of the big barn across the road from our house.

I went inside for a bit while the storm wore itself out, and then soon after it had gotten sunny out. Aunt Irene, Mom, and I think Eric and Matthew (brothers), and I all went on a hike up this path on the mountains that led into one of the lower crossovers of the mountains. When we got to the top, we looked around on the other side, and all we saw was water. It was as high as the mountain we were on.

We continued on the pathway, which started down the other side, and we soon realized (because the water was up to our waists) that the path went too far into the water, and we didn't want to drown, so we turned around to come back. On our way back, there were these little brown and green lizards that were hanging from various leaves of plants, and Aunt Irene started talking about them, saying that she used to see them all the time when she was a kid. She said that they always had to be careful of getting too close to them because they'd jump out and clamp onto you like they were doing to the leaves. She also said that they weren't so bad and you didn't have to worry about them very much after they dried up and became crispy.

Angel House Cafe and Picking Up Stuff I forgot

[I never got around to fully writing this one out, obviously]

-Mike and Robin (from Papa John's in Savannah) starting up the Angel House Cafe, and having steaks and things like that.
-Going to apartment/house that I lived in last in Savannah, finding that no one had moved in, and stuff I had left behind was still there
-things like the red sofa and chair, lots of trash and boxes, and a bird bath that worked as a fountain.
-I somehow get in touch with Mike and tell him I'm hungry and want pizza. He shows up with Domino's regular crust cut Chicago style (circle pizza cut into squares, like they do with the thin crust at Papa John's).
-He also brings his truck so we can pack up the stuff I hadn't taken with me.
-Bird bath coming apart and expecting to smell like cat pee, but it had worn off.

Lucid Dream/Out of Body

I realized I was dreaming, and I was going around in mom's house and Matthew (brother) was around, and I was experimenting with making myself weightless and even reversing my gravity so I could walk on the ceiling. I did this in little spurts, although I had trouble concentrating enough to keep myself up there for much of an extended period of time. I was doing this in Matthew's bedroom, the kitchen, and the dining room, as well as my room.

Then after a little bit I was in the kitchen, and again Matthew was there, and I realized that with Butterscotch (Matthew's cat) being a cat that he could see me, and I might freak him out a little bit, so I walked up to him (from the direction where the old back door used to be) and he ended up taking off running. Then after that I decided that I wanted to swing on the ceiling fan in the kitchen, and so I climbed up on the table and jumped up and took hold, but I ended up ripping off 3 of the fan blades. I realized that I needed to concentrate on keeping myself light weight, and so I carefully reached up and kept myself light and took hold of the fan blade. It swung me around several times, and then I let go and jumped off.

Soon after that, I slipped into something a bit more dreamlike where I was looking at some sort of plans to clear out ceiling fan vents on the Titanic after it was brought up out of the sea and dried off. After looking at the plans, I was back in my room and I looked up in my ceiling, and there was the fan that we had just looked at for the Titanic. I got some sort of pole or something and started poking around behind the fan blades (which is where the vents went up into the ceiling) and started knocking out the chunks of dirt and mud.

Unfortunately this wasn't the only thing that came down with them. It turned out that several bodies, mostly those of children, were also caked up in the mud, and they started falling out of the vent. I looked up and there were several more up in there, and so I ran out to the kitchen again. After a moment I told myself that it was just all in my head, and when I went back into my room, nothing would be there, not even the dirt. So I went back over and opened up my door and sure enough, there was no dirt or bodies or anything.

I think that this somehow really clued me in to that I wasn't really up and awake, and so after trying the "walking on the ceiling" thing again in my room and the dining room, I went out into the kitchen. I somehow got myself floating up in the middle of the room with my feet facing towards the refrigerator, and I remembered how some people will imagine a strong falling sensation to make their astral bodies "fall" out of their physical bodies. I started to feel that as soon as I thought about it, and at first I stopped it, but I decided to let it go after all.

So I closed my eyes and let myself start "falling" feet first in the direction towards the refrigerator and slightly "up" into the sky. Everything seemed to turn into gray and color speckles sort of like static on a TV screen, and it all went rushing up past me. I kept falling faster and faster, and I even heard a roar in my ears. I'm not sure if it was the "wind" of falling or if it was the blood rushing through my ears, but I could still hear it when I ended up getting scared of what I might see and made myself wake up instead of projecting.

Movies with Cindy

I was with a group of friends at a movie theater, and Cindy (girl from school) was the one selling us the tickets. Andy (friend from school and church) and Nick (step-brother) were both there, but I don't remember who else was there. I think they each had their girlfriends there with them or something, but I'm not sure about that.

Anyway, we ended up going in to see this movie, which I think was supposed to be one of the romantic comedy types, but all I really remember about it was a big mountain scene at the end and then the credits, and the lights coming back on while everyone was getting up. It turned out that Cindy had come in there with us to watch it, and she was sort of like my date there, but she was sitting up a couple of rows ahead of me.

After we got up and all walked out, Cindy had to do a couple of things as far as finishing up the stuff with the theater, and then she was free to go with us. Nick had driven his own car, and he had parked it right out front, but while we were inside, a cop had come along and put one of those tire things on it to keep it from going anywhere, and wrote him a ticket. For some reason we all found this laughable. Also, when I looked back out at his car, it actually was like he had a jet ski, and it was up on a trailer and hooked to the back of a pick-up truck. The wheel that had been locked was the passenger side one on the trailer.

So we all ended up piling into either my car or Cindy's car, but Cindy was the one driving, and so we were going down the road, and some crazy driver was behind us, weaving back and forth and such. We thought he was drunk, and then we saw a cop pull up behind them. We were all thrilled because we thought that he was going to get pulled over. Then cop lights came on on the first car, and it turned out it was an unmarked vehicle, and he ended up pulling us over. I remember hearing his siren several times in short blips, but nothing too bad.

I was waiting for Cindy to pull over, but for some reason it seemed like she was thinking that she wanted to make sure that they were really wanting to pull us over instead of someone else. So finally she pulled over and the cop came up to the window. He was acting strangely, though. He was being extremely forceful, and at the same time he was laughing and joking around. I couldn't quite figure out what was going on.

Anyway, he ended up looking at Nick and asking for his license. Nick was in the process of getting a new one and so all he had was a sheet of paper that had all the info on it that he needed. The cop took it and jovially ripped it up and told him to be at a certain church at a certain time the next day to get his real license. We were wondering about the one he had just ripped up, and how he was supposed to get there without it, but evidently since the cop did it, then he'd know that Nick had it and it would be okay.

So we ended up leaving that point and heading to a restaurant or cafe of some sort and just sat around at these tables. Even though Cindy was there, I ended up not sitting with her for some reason. I think that everyone else was sitting as couples, though.

I can't remember if someone was actually sitting with Cindy or not, but there was this girl there that had gotten upset about something, and she ended up getting up from her table and coming over to me and taking my hand and taking me over to her table. She was tall and thin and had blond hair that was a little longer than shoulder length, I think. She was right about my age, but I'm not sure if I knew her or not. She was wearing a long white dress that was fairly simple, but very flattering. I think she seemed somewhat familiar in my dream, but I'm not certain.

When we got over to her booth, she wound up sort of laying across the table, and I was either sitting on the end of the seat or standing next to her at the end of the table. I looked around briefly, and off to some tables to my right and next to the windows, there were two girls their with their boyfriends. (It may have been Andy's and Nick's girlfriends, but I'm not sure) Anyway, they each had on a dress that flattered them like the blond girl's did. The one that I mainly remember, she had shorter brown/red hair and the dress was dark. I then turned my attention back to the girl that had brought me over to her table, and she was laying somewhat on her back on the table. I laid my hand on her stomach/side, and I could feel from her stomach that she was really sad about something. I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but I didn't for some reason.

Drew Barrymore, The Dead Girlfriend

I started out on some sort of road trip. I wound up going inside this little restaurant/house that sort of like a Mom and Pop's Greasy Spoon kind of place. While I was in there, I somehow found out about this girl who had died, and it turned out that it was Drew Barrymore. As time progressed, I found out that she had been my girlfriend before she had died. It was weird talking to her because no one else could see her, and she was telling me about being dead. I wish I could remember everything that she had told me, but I can't. I know that there was one point where I had asked her something about these metal spheres I used to have around (the ball bearings that I had picked up from Merillat) and I found out that they were supposed to be physical representations of her anger or negative feelings. When I found that out, I felt really bad because I felt that it was because of me for some reason. Either that, or I just hadn't "done enough" to keep those sorts of things away from her.

Soon after finding this out, I ended up going outside, and while I was out there, I spotted a little blue Geo Metro that had Kentucky license plates on it, and I was thinking that someone I knew might be there, although in the dream I couldn't think of who it was.

Gremlins

I first remember going to the grocery store in Weyers Cave, and it was specifically for something dealing with Gremlins. I'm not sure what it was, but I ended up going way out into the parking lot (it had a big Wal-mart like parking lot) to a car that a girl was at. I think she may have been somewhat close to my age, but I'm not sure. I had parked close to the front of the store, but she was parked out farther in the parking lot.

I was running out there to warn her of the stuff of how to be sure to take care of a gremlin (such as no food after midnight, and keeping water away from them) but I was too late, and she had already fed it, I think (even though it wasn't after midnight, it still affected it) It was in her back seat on the drivers side, and for some reason, I thought that throwing water on it would be a good thing to get rid of it. I'm not sure why, though.

Then we ended up running inside the store and trying to shut it down. We were trying to lock the doors and keep people from coming in or going out because we didn't want the gremlins to come in after us. I think the thing of getting it wet and it having babies stuck in my head, because I was thinking that at first they'd be small like ping-pong balls, but they would grow very rapidly to their normal size.

I was trying to get us locked up so that they couldn't get in, but people kept wanting in and out of the store, and we couldn't keep the doors locked because of it. I was really getting worried about the gremlins coming in and eating us, and I kept trying to convince people that they'd do so if we didn't keep the doors locked and keep them out, but no one wanted to believe me. I couldn't figure out why people weren't worried at all about being eaten, and I tried to convince them via the argument that if they got into the store and locked in, we'd survive for days on all the food in there and the gremlins would never be able to make it through the glass and brick of the building, and eventually they'd either go away or die. Also, as an argument, I tried pointing out their teeth to people. I told them, "When the gremlins were small, their teeth were like this," and held up a hand, showing the tiny space between my index finger and thumb, "but when they're full grown it's more like this," and used entire fingers as teeth and made a chomping motion with them.

It didn't seem to scare anyone into locking up the store, and eventually the gremlins started showing up outside. I think that it had just rained or something, because I remember it being a little damp outside. I think I could see them outside heading our way, but no one was doing anything to try to stop them or prevent them from coming into the store. I woke up before they made it into the store.

Ambush on the Enterprise

I was on the Enterprise (of Star Trek, and I'm not even a fan!) and there was some sort of nasty plot going on. There was a small group of people I was working with, but as it turned out, there was some sort of ambush or something of some high-power group that came aboard the ship. I was standing next to some woman that I was working with (who reminded me of Molly Ringwold) She was in some sort of white uniform.

Anyway, when the "bad guys" came in, I think it turned out that they were from our own "higher command" but they had gone corrupt. The soldiers that came on with the leader or whatever ended up shooting a couple of people, one of which was the girl I was standing with. I then somehow got away, but I don't recall remember how.

The next thing I know is that I'm in some sort of hotel up in an upper story, and I'm changing or something, but the curtains are open, and I'm trying to figure out how to get them shut so that they don't spot me, because if they find me, I don't know what they'll do to me. There was more to this dream, (and I think something about it might have had to do with flying, but I'm not sure) but I can't remember much or anything about it.

Moving to Pennsylvania

I was somewhere with Natalie (from Papa John's), and we were discussing where to move to. I'm not sure why we were moving, but we were both planning on it. We were looking at these big stained glass sort of maps and trying to decide on where to go. For some reason she was wanting to go to New Jersey, but I really didn't like that idea, so I was trying to talk her into one of the bordering states.

Even though we were looking at the big map, it was hard to tell which states bordered New Jersey. Finally I had to "zoom out" and get a map of the whole world to look at, and I noticed that the US looked so small compared to everything. I saw other countries like France and Poland and such, and they were all more than 5 times the size of the US. The states were so tiny that I couldn't make them out, and so I still couldn't figure out what states bordered New Jersey.

Finally I happened to think about Pennsylvania. I immediately thought of the area around Harrisburg and Grantham, and so we went on a trip up there to look around. For some reason, I don't think she knew at first why we were going up there, and I was planning on surprising her with the beauty of the place and hoping that she'd like it enough to move there and be a bit closer to New Jersey without actually being in it. I was going down the "main street" and the trees were big and green and beautiful, and they overhung the road. It was sort of a "secret garden" type of look.

As we were going along one of the roads (we were walking now) we passed a group of people walking towards Messiah College. Scott (best friend from elementary school) was part of that group. I asked him if he was busy, and he said he was, but if I wanted to call him after he got back to the dorm, then that would be fine. I said okay and ended up walking off somewhere else.

It was starting to get dark at this point, and so Natalie and I went to my mom's house (which looked like Mike's (former step-father) house, but it was fixed up better, and it was in Grantham (although the name that was being used in my dream was Chatham, and I was thinking that she'd think that she'd never get away from that name) )and we went in and were in the old kitchen area. It was night time out at this point, and I think mom was making some sort of drinks or something.

Finding the One

I was supposed to be in some sort of class or something, and I think I somehow met this woman that had a little boy, but it wasn't through the class. It was like I had met her over the Internet or something, but I'm not sure. Anyway, it ended up that she was supposed to come and show up at the class I was in, inside of this huge auditorium.

At the end of class I started towards the back, walking up the center aisle along with everyone else, and I spotted her sitting in the back. She had long blond hair and was of a sort of a big build (not fat, but built somewhat like Sarah P. from school) I went up to her and hugged her and we were talking and stuff, really getting along well.

For some reason there was someone there that I was afraid of being disapproving, like Sarah (ex-girlfriend) or someone, but I don't really remember who it was. I was mainly afraid of them not liking it because of her having a little boy. Anyway, as we were talking, I realized that this woman was "the one", and she knew it as well. We were both thrilled to death, but instead of being all over each other, it was like we were just talking and having a great time like old friends or something.

Then after a little bit the class was supposed to start again (almost as if this was just a break or something). Anyway, so instead of sitting up in the front like I had been, I sat in the back just behind her. Even though it was like it was in an auditorium, we were still sitting in desks. I don't know where her little boy went, but I didn't really see much of him even though he was supposed to be there.

For some reason I was afraid of getting in trouble for sitting back in the back, but I don't really know why. I'm not sure if it was because I knew we'd end up talking to each other during the class, or if I was still afraid of whoever being disapproving, or if I had taken someone's seat, but either way, I was sort of nervous about it.

The Gun From the Giant

There was something about being on some sort of group tour with a bunch of people that I supposedly knew (although I can't remember them now) and we were kinda out in this wooded area. At one point, we were up on this muddy rock sort of place that went upwards, and there was a sort of a "doorway" there, and it was supposed to mark the next big part of our journey.

Several of us were looking around in the reddish clay/mud and spotted some tracks. Someone said that they were to a fox, and that they had found the hole the fox was living in. I think they then stuck some sort of huge blade thing down in there that turned really fast (sort of like a glorified blender) and they were trying to kill the fox. I looked closer at the tracks, and I realized that the fox wasn't in the hole because the tracks were going away from it. I pointed this out to someone else, and they thought that I was right, although the person that was trying to kill the fox was convinced that it was still in there. I then followed the tracks a short ways over to a chain-link fence and when I got there, a "giant" was there. He looked like the guy that played Lurch in the recent Addams Family movies, and he had some sort of weapon, which I think was a gun or rifle of some sort. I think I somehow talked him into giving it to me, and I realized that he was sort of following the group to make sure that everyone got where they were supposed to be going. (either that, or it was just to protect himself, but I think it may have been somewhere in between... a little bit of both)

So with my having this firearm, I took control of the group, and so we started going again. I was following everyone from the back of the group, and we wound up going into this sort of cave network thing. There were some people that were sort of acting like they were going to try to get away, but they were looking at me nervously. I told them that if anyone wanted to go, they were free to leave, that I was just protecting myself. The only stipulation was that they weren't allowed behind me where I couldn't see them.

Jennifer Lopez, The Wife

Towards the beginning of the dream, I was out somewhere, like in town or something, and I ended up meeting up with Jennifer Lopez. After spending a short amount of time together, we were back here in my parents house. When we got back here to my parents house, we were both out in the kitchen, she was in cut-off jean shorts and a light colored tank-top with spaghetti straps, and she was making me some eggs. I don't know if she was making them scrambled or boiled or fried or what, but I know that she was over at the fridge, and there were several that had cracked shells, so she wasn't using those.

There was a little platform or something in the door that had some that had been broken completely open, and each time she found one with a little crack in it, she'd throw it onto that platform, where it would end up breaking open. The first two weren't so bad, but then she ended up doing about 5 or 6 eggs like that. I was sort of upset because I felt that she was wasting them. Finally she found some that were fine, and ended up cooking them for me.

After some time, we were in the dining room, and there were some other people around, too. Some of them were people I knew, and others weren't. I think that we met up with someone in there and then left to go somewhere outside. I don't know if we were going out into a field or a lake or what, but I remember a little bit of both. It's like we were in a field at first, but then all of a sudden there was water up to our waists. Somehow thinking about this brings about the feel of playing Nintendo, but I'm not sure where that comes from. I think that at one point in the dream, I may have been playing it a little, but I'm not really sure.

Anyway, while we were out in the field/lake, Robin (from Papa John's) showed up, along with someone that at first I thought was Mike (manager from Papa John's). I hugged this guy and told him I missed him, but it turned out it was Mike's brother. He didn't look like Mike's real brother, tho... he had long hair (redneck long) and thick black rimmed glasses, and was very scraggly looking. After I realized he wasn't Mike, I stepped back, but I kept acting like I had missed this guy, too.

Then Jennifer went off somewhere for a moment, almost as if to go get Mike. After a little bit they both returned, and we all started talking. I came to find out that Mike and Robin had gotten married, as well as Jennifer and I had.

Demon of Children's Dreams

The story:

I was living in Savannah, Georgia at the time of this. It was late, and I was contemplating a dream that I had had a couple of years previous about this frightening looking man in flannel carrying a knife and floating through my bedroom door, causing me to wake up in terror. It turned out a friend/co-worker had had a dream just recently of a similar character. I wondered if I could find out who this was supposed to be. As I thought, I got some paper and a pencil, and I wrote the first line below. I put my head down and allowed myself to doze. I got "responses" in hypnogogic dream sequences, and I would wake up enough to write them down, write another line of my own, and doze off again. This is the result.

The blue lines are the hypnogogic dream portions.

=====================================

Who is this demon plaguing the dreams of the children?

I saw a thick steel fork [like an electric plug] coming from the girls mouth, as if she were a portal through which his things may pass.

His passage must be stopped.

As I told her to close her mouth and not let him through, she did so. She then looked upon me with the eyes of the demon and smiled his hundred-toothed smile, and she had become he.

He had become his own portal.

A new barrier was sent out and pushed against him who had their blood on his teeth, and it thrust him back. It melded with the old [barrier] and flowed together to form one liquid piece. He lunged from the outside, and his force was like that of a thousand spikes shot from a cannon, and they nearly penetrated the glowing yellow/orange barrier.

His determination may be greater than that of mine.

But I shall not go down so quickly.

He laughed at me from the balcony above, and I saw my one hope of help slump over and dead across the banister. As his vacant eyes looked down into mine and the veil fell from his head, I heard the words spoken, "St. John is nowhere to be found."

Who will help us now?

As the giant held on to the iron rod that crossed the room, our room shifted and through the windows of the doors, new worlds could be seen. The one on the left was virtuous. The one on the right was evil, but appeared no differently than that of the virtue...

The "All Meats" Trail

I started out on the golf course on Wilmington Island, and I was looking for Natalie (from Papa John's) and Anita (a friend of Natalie's). I found them off in some open space to the side of the actual golf course and I talked to them for a moment.

Then after a little bit, the next thing I knew I was out on the course again, looking for them again. I came across another space like what they had been in the first time, but they weren't there. There was some family there having some sort of picnic, and they were just cleaning up from eating. I think I talked to them for a second, and then I saw this trail leading off into the woods and up a mountain. I started walking along it, and every so often I'd meet someone that was hanging around various points of it. At one point I came to a McDonald's or Burger King that was right in the middle of this trail. I walked around the building and kept going.

After another little bit I met up with this dark haired person, and even though I can sort of imagine what they looked like, I don't know if they were male or female. They then pointed me to a path the branched off of the one I was one, and so I followed that one instead.

After a little bit I came to another sort of clearing that looked a little bit like a camping area. Someone was to my right, but I'm not sure who. I was looking at how the trail I was on seemed to lead to the main part of the trails leading around the campground. The person beside me pointed to the trail that was off to the side. It was the one that I would've been on if the dark haired person hadn't pointed me onto this path, and they described it as the "all meats" trail.

The next thing I knew was that I was in some sort of mall, and I was in line at the McDonald's there. Someone was in line with me, and I think it may have been Theresa (from Kentucky). We were each ordering something to eat. I got a couple of things, but the only one I can remember for sure was the ice cream cone dipped in extra butterscotch.

I know that Theresa was in line ahead of me, and she was trying to pay with a check, but she kept going off and walking around trying to take care of some sort of business. I then was trying to pay for mine, and it was like the counter had risen several feet. It was just as tall as I was, and the money had to be slipped under some board or something on the edge of the counter. I finally got my stuff and walked off, but I'm not sure what happened with Theresa.

Sweet Levitations

I was outside of my parents house looking at the building next to it, and I realized that there was a whole second story on the building that I had never been into. I decided to try to find a way to get up in there, and so I went in to the part of the building that was farthest to the right and went upstairs.

I realized that all the parts of what seemed like different buildings were all connected through the upstairs rooms. I remembered that mom had cleaned out the first part (which was what I was in currently) a couple of years back, and so I continued on to the left. The building was huge inside, much like the dairy barn. I walked down to the end of the building, and then I turned and went left into the section that looped around like a 'u'. It was something like this:








The point where the X sits is where the entry point to the second story is. The top side is the side that faces towards the road, and that was the side that I was originally looking at it from. After I had gone down into the u-turn part and then started to come back, I realized that a good bit of the building was cleared out, even though I knew that mom hadn't done all of it.

While I was walking back, Janet (from Papa John's) and Jen (her daughter) showed up and were talking to me. I don't remember exactly what they were saying, though. It was just a kind of general chatter I guess. Then there was something about there being some sort of napkin or paper towel on the ground, and I put my hand over it and made it lift up to my hand. We were all kind of amazed, and so I put it down and did it again just to make sure it wasn't some sort of fluke or whatever.

Then the next thing I knew was that I was playing on my computer, and I was playing Nexus, but it was different from how I've ever seen it. I was with a group of other people playing the game. I think it might have been some sort of clan hunt or something. Anyway, in this, we were all under water swimming around and killing the fish and stuff that were under there. I was using my ElysianField character, and the first thing I picked up was a pearl. Then after that I picked up some fish meat or something and then swam around a bit. I then took him to the top of the water to make sure that he had enough air. After he did his air refill, I went back down. Something happened, and I got this great idea to toss all the things I had picked up on this hunt. So I tossed them, forgetting I had picked up the pearl, but after I saw I had tossed it, I decided it was pointless to go and chase after it.

After that, I left the game, and I was inside of Mike's (former step-father) house. I was doing the thing with the paper towel again, and I decided to try to do it without my hand over it. When I did, I was able to lift the thing all the way to the ceiling and watch it float and spin around up there. Someone else was there with me and watching as I did that, but I forget who it was. It may have been mom, but I'm not sure. Even after waking up, I felt like that if I really wanted to, I could still do it.

The Hit Man Loop

I was hanging around with mom and Matthew and maybe Eric (brothers) and/or someone else, and Matthew was a baby. Even though he was a baby, he could still talk somewhat, and also, he looked more like Eric did as a baby with the big curls and light hair and such. Anyway, at one point Matthew started talking, and he told me and mom that he had a dream that she was going to shoot him. Mom was flabbergasted by this and promised that she never would do such a thing.

Then the next thing I know is that we're in the house, and we find these two black guns that have these knobs on the bottom of the grips, and when mom sees them, she tells me that one of them is the one that she shoots him with. So I take the gun out to the dog building and set it up in a white bowl on a shelf, and then I go back inside. I noticed that it was all grey and stormy outside, and it was somewhat dark, too. It almost felt like I was looking at everything with my eyes half closed.

At some point we realize that there's some sort of hit man out on grandmamma's back porch (at the trailer), and so we feel that we need to hide Matthew. I then take him to the dog building, and I hide him back in the corner under the shelf where I put the gun. I still have one of the guns with me, and so I go and peek around the corner of the house (between the house and the building) and I aim the gun at him and fire. Unfortunately the wind is so strong that I see it carry the bullets off to one side or the other, and no matter how many times I fire, I can't seem to hit him.

I then started advancing towards him (for some reason up to this point he hadn't seemed to have heard the gunshots) and keep firing. Finally one hits him, and he turns around and fires at me with his rifle. I dodge it somehow, and I ran back to the house. I then ran into the dog building and grabbed the gun that I had hidden in there and went and gave it to mom so she could defend herself from the guy.

The next thing I know is that the guy is between the house and the building (and the space is now about 15 feet across instead of 3 or 4 feet) and she fires a couple of shots at him. The first 2 miss, and then he said something to her, and she replied by saying "Sorry Charlie" and firing one that hit him dead on. The bad thing about it was that "Charlie" was the trigger word for the event that Matthew had talked about, and so when she said it, the bullet went through the guy, through the wall behind him, and hit Matthew on the other side.

We thought that the guy was down, so I ran into the building to see if Matthew/Thess was okay. (he was morphing into Thess at this point, as if they were supposed to be the same being) When I got in there, he had changed into Thess, and was trying to run from me because she was scared of the whole thing. I finally got her to come over to me, and I couldn't see where she had been hit. I reached over to pet her and petted her left side, and found she had been hit somewhere around the shoulder or mid-body. I actually felt the stickiness of the blood (which is unusual for me to remember actually feeling things in dreams) and pulled my hand away.

I then ran inside and called 911 for help. I told them what was going on and they thanked me and said they were sending help and then hung up. While I was waiting for them to get there, I found out that the hit man wasn't dead. He wasn't even really hurt. He was chasing me around, and I was firing the guns at him again, but I was having a hard time hitting him. I kept thinking that if I could just get a head shot that I could take him down. I see that he's dressed in some sort of grey suit, and that he has a mustache, and the top of his head is bald, but he has long hair in the back. (he looked a lot like the guy in NYPD Blue)

As I kept getting shots in on him, they didn't phase him at all. The gun, I realized, was sounding somewhat like a BB gun, and didn't feel as powerful as it had earlier. I ended up shooting him numerous times while waiting for the cops and ambulance to get there. At this point he was chasing me around the area at the side of the house (the same side as the bell and garden, out in front of the dog building) and he was talking the entire time about how he was so great and how futile it was of me to try to take him down. I didn't care, and I was going to keep trying.

I thought briefly on trying to get his rifle to take him down with because I knew that would do it, but for some reason I didn't try for it. I don't know if I was scared of him hurting me if I got too close, or if I was scared of really killing him when I DID get it. Anyway, we ended up out front of the house around the driveway area, and somehow he had gotten buried in the ground up to his neck. Only his head was sticking out. Even though this was the case, he was still able to move around from place to place. I was able to get up close to him now to aim the gun directly at the soft flesh of his head, and so I did so, but the bullets didn't seem to be penetrating very well. Most of them would either just get caught in his flesh or they'd bounce off.

I finally decided to run back inside and call 911 again to see where the heck they were at. When I called, they just answered "Hello?", and I had to ask if it was 911 that I was reaching. They told me yes, and so I told them again what was going on and that I needed someone out there to help us out. They said that someone was on their way, and I asked what was taking them so long because it had been a half an hour or so. I don't remember what they told me, but they just repeated that they were on their way out and hung up.

So I went back out the front door, and Bob (driver from Papa John's) was pulling up, and he was waving me back like he was telling me not to go anywhere or something like that. When I got up to his car after he had pulled up and parked, he told me that the 911 people were on their way, and I told him I had called them over a half an hour ago, and they still hadn't shown up. The next thing I knew was that I was heading back into the house from the side door, but I could still hear Bob's voice. He was telling me that they were really busy today and that it was going to take a while for them to get here. While he was telling me this, I realized that my fingerprints were all over everything, but that it didn't really matter because I was acting in self defense.

The next thing I know is that I'm out back in the chicken house, and I was talking to this tall and skinny dark-haired guy with glasses about how some place like the chicken house had been set up as a home. I was telling him that in the winter time it was actually kind of warm because of the big fire over in the corner, and so I didn't have to worry about heat. It was as if I had lived in something like that before and I was telling him about it. He was basically agreeing with me the whole time.

Then Eric and Matthew showed up at the far corner of the outside of the building and were playing or talking or something. Matthew still looked like he did earlier in the dream (very young), and Eric just looked like a 5 year old version of himself. Even though they looked that old, though, they felt older, about like they do now.

Then the next thing I know is that I'm at the side of the house again, and I'm sitting out in the yard with mom, Eric, and Matthew, and mom is sort of holding Matthew. He then tells her again about how he had a dream that she was going to shoot him, and once again she became fearful of the whole thing. I noticed this time, though, that the sky was sunny and clearer, although there were some clouds out and about, but it wasn't the same dark and stormy feel as the first time.

Then the guy ended up showing up again and there was the whole chase thing going on again, but this time it was more of an abbreviated version. This one happened so quickly that I can barely remember it, but I just know it was all about the same as the first time, and eventually I was trying to shoot him in the head with the BB gun things again. He was taunting me again, asking me if I hadn't learned the first time that I couldn't kill him.

I went in and called 911 again, and this time they answered with the same "Hello?" and I had to verify again, and when I told them of my predicament, they told me it was going to be a while before anyone could get to me because of their being so busy today. I got angry and went back outside, and I think this time I did somehow get a hold of the guys rifle, and when I did, I was almost too scared to fire it, but I did.

Huge Ocean Waves

I was with Larry and Billy (both from Papa John's) and there was something about working on a truck or a trailer or something. At first we were up at the end of the Fort Defiance High School parking lot close to the track, and Mike (manager from Papa John's) was there in his truck, and he may have been pulling a trailer.

There was some sort of discussion about something needing to be fixed, and something about Billy needing to mow the yard. I ended up pulling a truck and trailer (but I don't think it was Mike's) down to the end of the parking lot that was by the end of the school. I got out, and Larry and I were working on it, and while Billy was mowing the driveway he came up and was wanting to help. At first we told him not to, but he insisted on it, and so finally we decided to let him try to help us out. He started to help us out, but then he started screwing something up, and so we made him go back to mowing the driveway.

Then there was another guy under the truck that was helping Larry out, and they both came out, and the guy said something about how it was going to take longer to fix than he thought because they couldn't find the problem. He said that they had tried the gear box and something else, but the problem wasn't there.

The next thing I know is that I'm in some sort of hotel room, and I'm going between the bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom had some sort of unusual lighting in it, but I'm not sure how so. Anyway, I left the room and went out to the beach. Supposedly it was Tybee beach, and I think some sort of storm was coming. I think I was supposed to be up in some part of the Ocean Plaza Hotel (even though I've never been inside of it) and I was looking out towards the ocean.

I saw these huge 10 and 15 foot waves coming in and crashing all the way up to the building. I pointed it out to someone else, and they were amazed and a little frightened. Then someone pulled their Jeep Cherokee up to the window that we were looking out and got out and came in. The Jeep kept getting covered with water, and the guy came in and told us that they had alerted him to move his Jeep from the beach to up here so it wouldn't get so completely covered in water.

I then got into some sort of vehicle with my parents and they took me back to the hotel room that I had mentioned before. It was night time out again, and I was looking around the room, and I saw that there were key holes in some odd places, like on the side of a recliner that was situated by the bathroom door. I came to figure out that it was there so that when they needed to move the chair to get into a closet space behind it, they could unlock the chair so it could be moved.

I then went into the bathroom and messed with the lights, and found out that there were 2 sets of lights that I could turn on. They were both over the sink, but there was one big globe looking light that was about the size of a soccer ball, and then there were 2 below it that were more like softballs or baseballs. (more like regular lights) I messed around with turning on and off the various sets of lights to see the effect they had on the room in general, and I noticed that using the two smaller ones had somewhat of a softer effect on things than the big globe light.

Bus on a Rainy Interstate

I met up with Christensen (army goof from Papa John's) at Deno's gas station in Virgina (the one in Weyers Cave) and it was night time out. I told him that I needed him to follow me for some reason, and so we each got in our cars and he followed me down interstate towards Verona. I then wound up back in Weyers Cave, and I somehow knew that he had left his car along side of the road somewhere along interstate.

The next thing I knew was that I was at Fort Defiance High School, and I was leaving for the day, but I knew that there was a group of us that was going to need a bus that night, so I went through the office and found the 'bus clipboard' and took the set of keys that was on it. Then the next thing I knew was that Mike (manager from Papa John's) was driving the bus and we were heading down interstate in the same direction as Christensen and I had, and we even passed his car where he had left it.

I was sitting 3 or 4 seats back on the right side of the bus, and Rebecca (a girl from my school bus ride several years older than me) was in the seat across from me. We were talking about something (which I can't remember) and then I looked ahead of me at the road and I saw that it was raining. I then also realized that I was driving the bus, and that the people in front of me were blocking my view of the road.

I shouted something about the people in front of me needing to move their big heads, (especially this big bald guy 2 seats up) and so they did, but it was already too late, and the bus had started to pull off the road. I tried to correct it, and the bus spun around a couple of times and took out several of the orange cones that was on the side of the road. Finally the bus came to a rest facing the correct direction, and I asked to see if everyone was okay. Thankfully they all were and so Mike took over driving the bus again.

I then started to look around to see if the guy with the big bald head was okay since he had gotten in my way, but he was nowhere to be found. I looked in the back with everyone else, and he wasn't back there, either. I came to the conclusion that when the bus spun around, that he had either been thrown out, run over, or that he had just decided to leave at that point. Mike took us along interstate and we got off at several exits that led to other interstates, and finally we pulled off at some restaurant place that had a lot of people in line.

As we were pulling in, somehow the subject of my not signing out the bus came up, and he was kinda upset at me about it. I told him that I figured that everything would be okay. We all ended up getting off the bus and going and standing in this long line, and when I got into line, I realized that our entire group had butted in line ahead of this long line of elderly people, but no one had seemed to have noticed (from our group or the elderly group) We were waiting around under this wooden canopy that lead from one building to another, and there were several buildings around, but most of them were like big storage sheds. The main building was huge.

The Cave in my Living Room

I was in some sort of cave with several people, but I don't remember what I was doing there or what was going on. In some ways it reminded me of the 'big barn' from back home in that there was a place a lot like the hay loft and such. I was watching people come in and out through the main doorway and I spoke with a couple of them, but eventually I wound up climbing up to the hay loft looking area, and then up into a hole in the ceiling of the cave above me. When I did so, I wound up in my living room in the little rented house in Savannah. I was coming up through a hole in the floor that was about where the trunk now sits in the middle of the living room.

Then I think there was something about Joey (franchise owner from Papa John's) bringing me a sofa. I can't remember if he brought me the red one that I already own, or if he brought me one that was a lot like the sofa-bed that we used to have at grandmama's. Anyway, at first I tried situating the sofa where it currently sits and putting some sort of round table over the hole. The table didn't completely cover the hole, and so I went to the side of the living room where the TV now sits and went into a closet that was there and dug around until I found the stuff that you spray to keep animals away from certain areas. At first I could only find the one for dogs, so I went over and sprayed that, and then I went back to the closet and found the one for cats, so I sprayed that one around the base of the table as well. This way I was sure that Thess, my cat, wouldn't go through the hole to get out and into the cave.

I then took a look around, and found that the inside of the house felt somewhat like the cave, too. I then went back down into the cave for a bit where some stuff happened that I can't remember, and then when I came back up, my living room had been rearranged, but it looked more like a house now instead of a cave. I had a problem with where they put the sofa, though, because you couldn't see the TV from where it was, so I ended up moving it back, and realized that depending on how I had the room arranged that it looked more or less like the cave. When I moved the stuff this time, it was definitely the sofa-bed and not the red sofa.

The Day the Comet Struck the Earth

I was out on Fort Defiance High School's football field, and there was something about either 'closing' or 'opening' it as if it were Papa John's. I'm thinking that I was supposed to close, and I had done something wrong, and so when Mike (manager from Papa John's) got there to coach, he wasn't very happy with me about something, but I'm not sure what.

So as time went on, another person or two showed up and I was supposed to clock them in on the computer that was over close to the concession stand. I don't really remember what we were doing on the field, but it was something like playing football with pizza boxes, or something equally strange. I think that Billy (young guy from Papa John's) showed up at one point, and so did Sefton (also from Papa John's), but I'm not sure what Mike had us doing. I just know that it was night time, and we were getting ready to do whatever it was that we were supposed to do.

The next thing I know is that we're all out in my parents back yard, and we're waiting for a comet or something to come and strike the earth. We were somewhat doubtful about it because we had heard of this before, but nothing had happened. I was facing somewhat towards the house and the 'dog building' and I looked almost straight up, and I saw a little star show up. It suddenly got brighter and almost turned into a sun and then it cleared and I could see the jagged edges and this lava ball comet with somewhat of a blue haze around it. I saw it come down (and by this time everyone saw it, even though I was the first one to spot it out of the group, although at this point you'd have to blind to not see it) and I knew it wasn't going to strike us, but it was like it hit over on the other side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We all felt the shock of it hitting the earth, and I wondered if that was going to throw off the crust of the earth in a way that was going to make it like a pole shift. I then looked up, and there was a second one coming, and it hit farther away than the first one, but we still felt that one hit, too.

Then that small group of us, which now included some woman about my age, went onto grandmamma's back porch and the woman started messing with the computer that was on there. First she did this thing that showed us where the comets had hit. Just as I had seen, they had hit basically on the other side of the earth. One of them hit within the Atlantic Ocean, but close to the African boarder. The other one had evidently hit right about in South Africa. I could see all sorts of fissures in the earth's crust that emanated from these two spots, and there wasn't any water in the oceans. I'm not sure if it was how the computer was portraying it for us so we could see where it had hit, or if the comets had done something to make it so that there was no longer any water in them. (like evaporated from the heat or something)

Then she started doing something else with the computer, but we weren't quite sure what it was. Someone asked her, and she said that she was taking some sort of precaution because of the comet, and that she was altering her genetic makeup. She told us that she had recently come in contact with a scorpion, and that she was making it so that her skin had the ability that when she touched something, it was like a scorpion's sting. I'm not sure if she was thinking about aliens coming from the comet, or if she was just thinking that people would be going crazy, and so it was to protect us and her from them. Either way, after that was done, we went to the front porch and waited. I'm not sure what we were waiting for, though. Maybe we were waiting for the effect of the comet to come to us.

Then soon after this I found myself in some sort of laboratory, and the same woman was there doing something with the computers there, and there was this 11 or 12 year old girl there that had something wrong with her, and the woman was going to try to 'cure' her. It was either that, or there was something special about the girl, and the woman was going to try to harness whatever it was from the girl. I know that where I was standing, I was on the right side of the room, and the computer stuff was about 10 or 15 feet in front of me, and the table that the girl was on (or going to be on) was to my left. There were lots of people around in the room wearing white lab coats, but there were also several plain-clothed people that were like the girl's family and friends. Also, on the wall to my right, there were lots of big windows, and the only thing that was beyond them was black. It was the darkest night out.

Finally I think someone carried in the girl and lay her on the slanted part of the table close to the end by the computer. She looked very weak, but at the same time, she seemed very strong. That's why I'm not sure if there was something wrong with her, or if she had a power to be harnessed. Maybe it was physically she was weak, but energetically and spiritually she was super-human.

Anyway, after a little bit the woman at the computer hooked some wires to the girl and did some things on the computer, and then she had someone move the girl from the slanted part of the table to the part that was to my direct left, which was flat like a normal table. I went over and I was talking to the girl while she was waiting for the next stage of whatever they were doing to her. It almost seemed to me that the girl was liquid or something. It's like she was there, but somehow she was fading out of this reality or something, but at the same time, it wasn't that she was dying, but more like going on to the next energy level. I knew that why all this was happening and why they were doing the things to her was because of the comet, but I'm not sure how it all tied in together. After talking to the girl and touching her face, the dream ended.

Dumping Theresa's Stuff

I was on my trip to Virginia in August, and I was going to drop off Theresa's (from Kentucky) stuff at her house. When I got there, it was a fairly big house, somewhat like Sarah's (ex-girlfriend), but not quite. I got there and got out of my car and went to the front door, and Theresa's mom answered the door. (She didn't look like her mom actually does, though. She was tall and skinny, and had short and curly blond hair) I asked for Theresa, and the next thing I knew, Theresa and I were outside somewhere, and we were throwing things at each other.

I don't remember what we were throwing at first, but I think I was the one that started it. I think I was doing it to try to get her to back off and to get away from me, but she was doing it as a game. Eventually we were throwing things at each other around a huge pumpkin that was the size of a good sized room. It was about 9 feet tall and probably about 15 or so feet in diameter.

Finally at one point she had somehow gotten inside of it and most of it was emptied out. There were a bunch of slimy seeds and such on the 'floor' of it, and so she picked up a couple of handfuls of those and threw them at me. I dodged those okay, but I wasn't about to touch them and throw them back because they looked and smelled like they were rotting.

Finally we were done with that, and we were inside of her room at her mom's house. I had gone in there to get my stuff from her and to see about making room for her stuff that I had brought with me. We ended up sitting down for a few minutes and talking or something, but I still felt the same thing I had felt when I was throwing the stuff at her. She was trying to get me to rub her feet, and I was trying to get up, but not in a way of "ugh, you're disgusting", but more like I was trying to do it politely. I was just wanting to get her stuff to her and get out of there and get it all over with.

So finally she came out to the car with me, and she was commenting on it, saying things like "ooh, a stick shift!" or "Wow, it's a nice color!" (It was my new Hyundai) I noticed that it was kinda rainy and cold out, almost as if it were Christmas time. I think that we even had jackets on. Anyway, I was in the driver's side of the car, and she had gotten into the passenger's side. I was getting her little things off the floorboard that I had put down there that didn't go in the bags, such as her lighter and stuff.

I reached down and picked up an earring that I had in there, and I was showing her that I had gotten my ear re-pierced. She didn't like that much, but I didn't care. I put the earring in anyway. I then showed her my couple of crystals that I had with me. There was one that was tied by a tiny point on the end with some fishing line. I think I might have also showed her my Herkamur (type of crystal) and one other. I then noticed a group of crystals sitting there in a plastic container that didn't look familiar to me, and there was something strange about all the points of them. The crystals were all of different colors, but the reflection off of the ends of the point looked a little bit like calico pyrite, although they mainly tended to stick with a nauseating shade of green. I asked her if she had put them in there, and she said yes, and that she wanted me to have them.

Immediately a flag went off in my head, and I knew that I either had to turn down the offer or somehow leave it behind. I knew it was something she had enchanted to try to keep a leash on me. I looked at it more closely, and I saw that it was in a green plastic base with a clear cover attached to the bottom. When I took the cover off the bottom of the base and put it on top where it was supposed to go, there were these sediment looking stalagmites or something on them, and it reminded me of the stalagmite/stalactite growing sets that you could get from Grand Caverns in VA.

I took the lid back off and put it back on the bottom, and I looked at the crystals more closely. They were all of extremely similar size. They were about a quarter of an inch thick at the bottom, and about 1.5 to 2 inches long. They almost resembled crayons in their color because the colors were so bright. There were black, red, green blue, yellow, and so on. I think there were 8 or 9 of them in all. They weren't clear like normal quartz, either. They were completely opaque, almost like plastic or something.

At first I told her I didn't think I should take it, trying to pass it off as "I'm not worthy", but she insisted. So I put it down in my car, and we both got in again and I asked her where I could park to make it easiest to take her stuff in and bring mine out. She told me to drive up to the front porch instead of the side door (which is where I originally knocked), and so I did. I pulled up and turned left and went to back up. I had some trouble backing in for some reason, and I kept ending up too far to the left. There were a bunch of bushes there, and that's why I couldn't just stay there. Finally after 3 tries I got it straight and we got out.

She went in first, and I followed after a moment. She grabbed a box full of my stuff, and was walking back out with it, and I was thinking that I could sit the crystals on the dining room table, and she wouldn't notice until I had left. I passed her mom on my way in, and she asked me what had happened (meaning between me and Theresa that let us fall apart like that) I was getting ready to say that not much of anything had happened and that we had just drifted, and she asked me something about if I just thought it was the "right thing to do", and so I just said yes, letting her come to her own conclusions and just talk to Theresa about it later.

I then left her and went into the living room and picked up some of my stuff and went out. When I got back outside, we started grabbing her stuff to take inside. She was amazingly cheery and calm throughout the whole thing, but I think it was because she thought I had accepted the crystals which she had enchanted. I was then awaken by a phone call, but I drifted in and out of sleep after, and every so often I'd return to the dream, taking her stuff inside and finally leaving the crystal on her dining room table when I knew she was waiting outside for me the last time for me to leave. And so leave I did, and the dream ended.

Back to School

I was back in Fort Defiance again, and I think I was in Mrs. Yager's (biology teacher) class. We were all walking in and she said something about assigning seats a little later, and she told me that I was going to be sitting up next to her. We all kind of found it funny, but it turned out that it was because of a report or something I was supposed to finish the year before and I hadn't, and so as she had me to sit up front next to her, she gave me a large manila envelope that had my report in it, and I was supposed to work on it to finish it.

After a little bit I ended up being out in the hallway, and I was walking down through the "A-Wing" section of the school. I don't really remember why I was walking there or even who I was walking around, but I know that at one point I was just in my underwear. It sort of bothered me at first, but after a little bit, I just didn't care.

Papa John's, Planetary, and Lucid

[Crap. Either I didn't fully write this one down, or a good part of it got eaten by my computer at some point. And this was one of the few that I could still remember fairly vividly once I started reading it, too!]

I started out in Papa John's, and I was having some trouble because we had gotten in some new toppings, and I don't think I knew where they were when someone ordered them. They were orange slices (more like sections, I guess), shrimp, and scallops. Natalie (from Papa John's) and I were looking for them and couldn't find them, so I called up Mike (the manager), and he came and helped me find them.

We went to the cooler, and there were all these shelves of stuff. We found the orange slices, along with the "new" beef. The new beef was kept in single serving plastic containers that were shaped like little cream colored cows. To get the beef out, you had to twist off the head and dump it out the neck. After this, stalks of corn started showing up around the store. They kept showing up more and more until finally it was like I was in a field and it wasn't Papa John's anymore. I started walking a little ways, and eventually Natalie and I showed up at my parents' house [end]

Timewarp

I was at or around my parents house in VA, and I had done something strange, such as somehow jumped into some sort of alternate time because of some event I had witnessed or changed. I thought it was something fairly small, and so I didn't worry about it too much.

Then I ended up talking to Sarah on the phone. I mentioned the time thing to her, and she had no idea what I meant. I didn't really expect her to, but then I said something to her about our relationship, and she didn't know anything about that, either. I was surprised, and I realized that my going back and changing whatever event it was had made it so that we had never gotten together as a couple, but just as friends. I told her that, and I think she asked me if it felt strange. I told her that it did, and my mind was racing to try to figure out how to change it back, if I could at all.

I think before all of this, there was something about seeing my little brothers as babies again. I think that had to do with what I altered, although I can't remember what it was that I did. Then the next thing I remember is something about being at work, and I was getting ready to close down the store (Papa John's) and I had two drivers there to help me out. One was John, but I don't remember who the other one was. I asked them if they wanted me to make a pizza for us to split, and to my surprise, John said okay and told me the toppings he wanted. (which were pepperoni, sausage, and bacon) The other guy wasn't quite sure what he wanted. So while he was thinking, I took them to another store (kind of like as if it was in the mall or something) and had them to start with rearranging the freezer area for shut down.

Grandmamma Comes to Visit and Describes Her Healing in Heaven (and Patrick Duffy on the Side)

This one started out that I was on some sort of farm, and Patrick Duffy was there. I kept thinking about him and how the thought of him having a "Patrick Duffy leg" (like Scuzzlebutt on South Park) was hilarious. After thinking about this and wanting to joke around with him about it, I decided that maybe I shouldn't, because he may be somewhat sensitive about it.

So I left him and walked up to this white farm house (while I was doing so, I passed a rabbit that was out front by the sidewalk) and climbed up the front of it to the 3rd floor and knocked on the window/door. Chris (blond nerdy guy from school) was inside, and I caught him in the corner of my eye just as I was turning around to go down to the next level. So I decided to just keep going like I hadn't seen him, and I went on down. I knocked on that door/window, and the whole same thing happened again. After I finally got back down to the main floor, I let him answer the door before I left, and we talked for a moment, although I don't remember about what.

Then I got into my car and I was driving down interstate 64 to go over to Crozet. I started up the mountain, and it was all the same as it had been before, but as I started to go back down, the road made an unfamiliar sharp turn to the right, and started going back down-- the side I had just come up! I wondered how this was going to get me there.

I then looked down at my speedometer, and I realized it was only reading about 40, so I sped up, but I realized that I was actually going the same speed as everyone else already, and so if I went much faster, I may end up speeding and getting pulled over. I realized that my speedometer was way off now, not just by the 5 mph that it is right now. So I just kept going along this new unfamiliar part of the interstate, trying not to worry about it much.

The next thing I know is that it's close to night time, and I'm outside of mom's and Pat's (step-father) house in an above ground pool that is close to the maple tree at the right of the house. My computer was up on the edge, and I was in a chat room. Josh (from Papa John's) came over and was chatting in the room, and he was wanting to chat with someone in there, and so he put out this huge message to do so. I tried helping him out with making the text look smaller. After going on with this for a little bit, Josh said this whole thing was stupid and left. I then started swimming around in the pool, and for some reason I thought about grandmamma being there. The next thing I knew was that I was up at the front porch, and mom was at the door, Grandmamma was on the porch with me, and Evylin and Edith (friends of grandmamma's from down the road) were in or around this pickup truck that was backed up to the porch. I gave grandmamma a big hug and she returned it with a tough hug herself. I was somewhat surprised.

Then, at first I was thinking that I'd have to move this heavy thing for Grandmamma, but then it turned out that she was strong enough to do it. Mom and I looked at each other in surprise, as she sat whatever she was carrying (it was either a large box filled with stuff, or it was an overstuffed chair) onto the metal glider that we had on the front porch.

Grandmamma then started talking about some of the medical procedures that she had been going through in the spiritual realm that have given her her youthful muscles back. She had all these 3-ring binders and such that had things written on them (I remember seeing CAT scan on one of them) and she was showing them to me as she was explaining what these doctors were doing to help her out. I remember thinking it kind of odd that there were doctors in the spiritual realm, but I didn't say anything about it. I ended up giving her another big hug, and she gave me another big one back, just like someone who was very strong and built might. Then she explained a little more about the procedures she went through.

I think I then woke up briefly, and after checking the clock, went back to sleep. (I did this several times during the course of this dream, I think) When I came back to the dream, she was still telling me about the procedures and the doctors there, and the stack of 3-ring binders had gotten bigger. I got down off the porch and tried dragging them out to the end of the sidewalk, but either the ones underneath kept sliding out, or most of the stack just fell over because of the wobbling down the sidewalk. Either way, I think I gave her another hug, and apologized for dumping her stuff everywhere.

Battle With Satan

I started out on some sort of vacation with my parents. We stopped off at one point close to our destination, and we were hungry, and so we ate at some sort of trailer looking thing that was a pancake restaurant.

After we were done there, the next thing I know is that I'm in some sort of big building. I think it was supposed to be something like the YMCA or something like that, because there was a pool in this big room. While I was in or around the pool, something happened to someone there, I think, like either getting hurt, or maybe even killed.

Either way, somehow we (whoever "we" was) found out that Satan had done it, and this pissed me off. I wound up somehow finding him and some of his firearms somewhere else in the building, and as I did so, we started shooting at each other. At first I was at the far end of the pool room, and there was a big wall that had grown up in there, and I was peeking over the wall every so often to shoot at him (he looked just like a normal person. No red skin or horns or tail) Most often I missed, but I think I somehow hit him one time, and he really got upset at this.

He then started coming after me, and as he got close, I was suddenly thrown into a different environment. I was in the front seat of a car, and he was in the back. We were wanting to shoot at each other, but I wasn't wanting to harm anyone else, although I'm not sure if he really cared. Eventually I think I wound up firing at him, and he blocked the bullet(s). He, in turn, fired at me. I realized I could block the bullets, too. So this started us shooting at each other hoping that we could wear each other down mentally so our "shield" would break down and one of us would finally get shot.

After our pistols ran out, we were suddenly back in the YMCA. I went into this one room that was back past the pool, and I somehow found this massive machine gun/flame thrower/rocket launcher in this room. I picked it up and gave it a practice shot, and it worked great. I was thrilled about this because I was going to blow away Satan once and for all. I peeked out the door and around the corner to my left onto a set of stairs, and there was Satan, holding a similar gun. At first I fired at him and ducked around the corner, but then I came out again, and I was curious about his gun.

He let me see it for a bit, and I tried firing it in some random directions, and it shot out shotgun shells that were supposed to explode on impact. They were purple and about 2 inches long. It didn't work very well for me because they'd never explode when they hit. I think you had to be firing at a "live" target, though. So I give him his gun back, and we start firing at each other again. I'm using the machine gun part of mine, and he has a similar feature on his. I know that we're each running around shooting at each other, and we're also each blocking the bullets from one another. I was trying to think on what I could do to catch him off guard, but I was having some trouble doing so. (I mean, this was SATAN, of course.)

Anyway, I finally meet up with him in the top of this tower or something, and I run at him, shooting at him as much as I can. Finally I'm about 4 or 5 feet away from him with my gun pointing directly at his forehead, firing away. He's firing at me at the same time, and I have my left hand up doing the blocking of the bullets (they weren't actually hitting my hand, but that was projecting my energy force out that much farther for me, and allowed me to concentrate more on where I was aiming) I could see the ripples in the skin of his forehead (although before he had been a dark haired fellow, and how he had long blond hair, and he may have been a woman at this point) from where the bullets were shooting towards and sending wind through his energy field. I remember seeing him squeeze his eyes shut, having to concentrate to keep his field steady with a great deal of difficulty. I remember thinking lightly about how I knew I could do this because I was "of God", and God always overcomes obstacles and evil.

Suddenly we were back on top of that wall that had built up over the pool, and we were each thinking about shooting each other again, but there was something going on with the pool. I don't remember what it was, but whatever it was, it wasn't very friendly. I think I remember him going in, although I knew that whatever was there couldn't hurt him because it was his anyway. I think there was also something about this thing doing something to some people, but I'm not sure what.

Soon after this, over on the same stair area that I found my gun on and tried out his, we met again, and I started firing. He was resisting the bullets as usual, and he saw that I was running out. I saw the "strip" of bullets flying in one side of the gun and out the other, and I was missing him with each one. Then, just about the time that my bullets ran out, he thought he had me, but then I remembered about the flame thrower feature, and so just as my bullets ran out, I reached my thumb down (it was a thumb button to activate it) and pressed the button. All of a sudden this huge flame shot out of the barrel of the gun, and since he wasn't expecting it at all, I believe he ended up as toast, although I'm not so completely sure.

The next thing I know is that I'm with my family again, and we're heading home, and we decide to stop at the same pancake trailer place to eat. To our surprise, it's no longer there. The other buildings around are the same, but the pancake hut was gone. We were somewhat disappointed, and I guess we ended up going on our way without pancakes for breakfast.

The Raging Storm

I started out at Mike's (former step-father) house in my old room downstairs. Pat (step-father) was there and talking about the earth changes, and he was saying that he had a hotel room on an island up north that he had reserved for when the changes occur, and that I was welcome to come up and stay in there. I told him that Savannah was supposed to be safe, and he said that was fine, and I should just probably stay here. He also said something about after it was all over with, that I could name the island (Wilmington Island, which I live on.) after myself. I was thinking that was an okay idea.

Then as we're in my room with mom and Eric and Matthew (brothers), some bad weather starts up outside. At first it's just a lot of wind and rain, but then we look out the window towards the Weyers Cave/Pleasant Valley Church area, and mom says that there's a tornado starting up. I look out, and sure enough, I see it beginning. It seemed kind of weak, and it was heading in our direction. It started to get a little stronger, and become a bit of a darker shade of gray-blue. It came over just outside of the window and was by the little maple tree. It then started to weaken a bit more, and almost looked like it was going to be done a couple of times, and then it went over right on top of the tree and it almost made the tree explode. The sudden shock of the strong wind on the tree shot off most of the leaves.

As it was there, I started thinking about sucking energy out of it to make it dissipate, and then I thought that if I did that, it might make it come towards me, so I decided to bombard it with positive energy to make it quit. At the same time, mom was putting her own energy into it to try to get it to pass by the house and go away, instead of just trying to make it stop. Eventually it just stopped, I think.

I then start talking to my family about how good these new SoBe drinks are, and they give me money to go to the store to get one for them to split and try. I go outside, and everything is clear in our immediate area, but down at grandmamma's and over at Weyers Cave, it's just a solid sheet of opaque gray, and so I decided not to venture it for now. I went into the living room (the room that was the living room before we added on) and mom and Mike were there on the couch.

I then go back inside and into my room again, and Eric is still in there, and he's watching the storm down past grandmamma's house. Just as I get in there, I see a huge bolt of lightning, and I go over to the window. I look up and I see tiny sparks of lightning flowing out like ripples along the surface of the clouds. As they come right over us, I look over at Eric and say "Here it goes!" and the loud peal of thunder shook the house. We both thought this was kind of cool.

Then I looked back out again, and I saw this huge black cloud extending down from the clouds above, almost like an explosion had taken place. I saw it was sweeping in our direction, although I wasn't sure what was happening with it. I then realized it really was moving towards us, and to stay there at the window could prove to be fatal. I ran out of the room and started yelling about it, and mom and Mike and Matthew all got off the sofa and hid behind a coffee table on the right side of the room (the sofa was on the wall that the new part had been built on to, and the coffee table was just around the corner of the opening into that room, under where the thermostat used to be)

I realized Eric hadn't come out yet, and I started to run back to get him, but he was already running out of the room. I grabbed onto him and helped him hide behind the others, and I then got blankets and hurried and threw them over everyone. When this "explosion" hit the house, the house shook violently, and there was a loud thunderous noise. After a short time, it quit.

I got up and looked out of the window that looks out onto the back porch, and I see these big balls of fire/lava floating around outside. They're kind of slowly heading in the same direction as the rest of the explosion. By this time, everyone else has gotten up, and I walk over to mom. She was by the doorway that goes into the new addition on the house, and as I look in, I see one of those lava balls floating around in there. I asked what those things were, and mom told me they were files. (although I knew that she meant spirits) I yelled "How did that get in here?!?" and I watched it as it came to rest on the floor by the TV area, and I see it start to deflate a little. I realized it's just a shell of cooling lava with air inside of it, and that was how it was floating around. Mom said "Because I knows it" (with the 's' on knows) She said that it's mother (Grandmamma) and I heard a raspy version of grandmamma's voice repeat the word "mother", and then it said "Cheryl".

It started to roll towards me and mom, and so we pull a folding paper like door shut over the opening to the new part of the house, and I see that there's a 6 inch gap at the bottom of the door. I take up my two sided blue blanket and stuff it under the door to keep this thing from getting in. I start wondering if it will catch my blanket on fire, and I think mom said that it won't, but I end up waking up right then.

Love and War at Pleasant Valley Church

The entire dream took place in and around Pleasant Valley Church. It started out that I was down in the basement (where the youth and Jr. High rooms are) and I came across Steven (a mentally challenged boy from church). He was much younger than he actually is now, and I started talking to him. Soon after, I think I was going to leave to go to Sunday School or a bible study (even though it felt like it was the afternoon/evening time) and he started crying. I asked him what was wrong, and he said that nobody loved him. I felt great pity for him and took him up in my arms and told him that I loved him. I held him there for a while as he cried.

Then after a little bit I realized that I was going to be late to my class or wherever I was going, and so I told him that I needed to go for a little bit, but I'd be back pretty soon. I don't think he wanted me to go, but we finally decided that he could wait for me at the steps that go down into the basement. At first I detached part of the ceiling to see if he could fit safely up in there, but the area was too small for him, so that was when he decided to just wait on the stairs. After I bade him goodbye for a little bit, I went down to the youth room and went in.

I think I actually ended up being one of the first ones there, and so I took a seat back in the back side of the room, and soon after several others showed up. Jerry (father of Jamie, a girl from school) was there, and so was Carrie (girl from school and church), I think, but those were really the only familiar faces that I saw there.

Jerry was leading the class, I believe, but not a whole lot really went on, and so after a little bit we were done, and we left. I went back out to the stairs, and Steven was still there. He was doing better now, and he conveyed the feeling (although I don't think that he actually spoke it) that he would be okay if I didn't stick right there with him. I think I had him to come upstairs with me anyway, and there were lots of people up there. He ended up going off somewhere, and I don't think I saw him again in this dream.

I think the next place I went was to the Fellowship Hall. They were having some sort of big meal in there, but I don't know what they had to eat. I think I caught the tail end of it, because some guy that I knew (although I can't think of his name right off hand) was cleaning the silverware. I talked to him for a moment, and then I think I found Natalie (from Papa John's) in there somewhere. I was very happy to see her, and I offered to drive her or walk her home. She said okay, and we went out to the parking lot.

There weren't as many cars as there were people that I had seen inside, and she was walking towards this old dark blue station wagon that reminded me somewhat of the old Peugeot that we used to have. Again I offered to drive her home, but it turned out that this was her car that we were walking to. When we got there, we decided to do something, but I can't remember what the decision was. So we ended up walking/running down by the little narrow driveway that led from the back of the parking lot to the side road by the custodian's house.

After this, the next thing that I know is that we were back inside the church, and I was going down into the Jr. High room, although there was something major going on in there. As I went in, I saw that the room was no longer a room (and I think I also noticed that Natalie was no longer there) but that the "far" wall from the door had been blown away, and it turned out that from there we were on a huge cliff of some sort. It was now night time out, and there was some sort of battle going on. It seems like I could hear explosions and stuff in the distance, but I'm not sure. I saw this sphere looking thing that I think was supposed to be some sort of "evil" thing that needed to be killed before it "got us", and so I started messing around with some of the "weapons" laying around.

The first thing I messed with was a bunch of what looked like blowgun darts, but they didn't go in a blowgun. You were supposed to stick them into the pores in the palm of your hand and between your fingers, and so as I did this, I wound up with at least 30 needles sticking out of my left hand. I then "flung" them (it's about the best that I can figure that I did with them) and tried to hit the sphere thing that was now heading towards me. I got it some, but not very well. Then I picked up this little thing that was like a cross between a short straw and a green bean pod, and I put it up to my mouth and blew. A couple of black seeds shot out, and I knew that there were many more in there. I hit the sphere with those, but it didn't stop it. It was only about 7 or 8 feet away now, and a little off to my right. I blew again, and I just kept blowing out in a single long breath. The number 15 comes to mind, but I can't remember if I blew out 15 seeds in rapid fire, or if I blew for 15 seconds. Either way, I got this thing that was coming after me.

I then realized that some girl/woman was fighting with me. She was built a little big, and she had very dark brown (almost black) hair that was curly and cut to the top of her neck. She had been down over the side of the cliff fighting, and she was coming back for more ammo, I think. I then realized that I needed something else that could work more quickly, and so I got someone that was standing there at the door to get a phone so that I could call Jason (from Papa John's) and ask him if I could borrow a knife of his. So when I talked to him on the phone, he was more than happy to let me borrow it, and he left immediately to bring it to me.

I then found more green bean pods on the ground next to where I was laying. I opened one up, and I saw several of the black seeds that I needed, as well as some regular beans that I didn't need. I had pick them out and sort them out, throwing out the ones that were edible and put the black ones (which were hard and dry) into the shooter I had just used before.

While I was putting them in, Jason showed up with his knife, and at the same time, Grandmamma showed up. She was asking something about what was going on, and I think she asked if it was a bible study we were doing in the room. I was there thinking "nope, it sure isn't" and I knew that she'd have a hissy-fit reaction if she saw the chaos in the room. I didn't even look up, and I heard her approach the door and I heard her get upset about what was going on.

Right after this she left, and I continued to thank Jason for the knife, and I think I put more seeds into the shooter pod. I then tried it out again, but it didn't work as well as before. I didn't feel that I had time to learn how to do this effectively enough, so I went with the blowgun darts/needles again. I put several of them (probably about 50 this time) into my left hand and then I woke up for a moment. As I did, I could still feel the needles in my hand. They didn't hurt, but it just made my hand feel tight and tough to move.

I then slipped back into the dream a moment later, and I was no longer in the Jr. High room war zone. I was walking behind the same girl I had been fighting the spheres with (but this time she was smiling, and she had longer hair to the middle of her back, and it was lighter in color), and she was with her boyfriend. We were heading into the Sanctuary of the church, and her boyfriend went in first, then her, then me, and then Natalie was back (I think) and she followed me in. We sat in the very back pew on the right hand side, and I remember being afraid of sitting too close or touching the girl on my left because of her boyfriend getting upset. As I sat down and faced the front, it felt like there was a wall of people in the pews in front of us, and I think they were all standing. It turned out I was wearing my suit, and I was very uncomfortable, feeling like I was strapped into some huge immovable thing.

Terrible Haircut

I was at mom's and Pat's (step-father) house, and for some reason I decided to get my hair cut. The way I went about it, though, was that I basically decided to shave my head. Instead of doing it myself, though, I had someone else to do it for me, although I can't remember who.

Soon after having it done, I think I looked in the mirror, and I saw that the sides and part of the top had been done just to "test it out" to see how it was going to be, although it was cut very unevenly. There were still some longer parts (about 2 or 3 inches) that had somehow been missed within the parts that had been cut, so it all looked very sloppy, especially with the back side of it not cut at all.

Then, for some reason, I had to go out somewhere (which felt like Pleasant Valley Church, although I'm not so sure it was) and at first I was afraid of people noticing my badly cut hair. I ended up leaving though, and completely forgetting about my hair.

I was in the narthex area outside of the sanctuary, as well as walking down the hallway that goes by the pastor's study, and I also made a trip through the Fellowship Hall and I think even on or around the balcony in the Sanctuary. Then I somehow remembered about my hair, and I was somewhat embarrassed, although I still didn't really think about it much. I remember then seeing it in the mirror again (although I'm not sure which mirror I was looking into) and seeing that it still looked just as bad as before. I even reached up and played with the unevenly cut parts that were in the area of what had been done up to that point. I then got the thought of getting the trimming shears that I had used once before to cut my hair, and finishing it all myself to at least make it even. I think I remember starting, but I think something sidetracked me, but I'm not sure what.

My Family Comes Early to Visit

I remember being out in the kitchen here at The Commons (apartment in Savannah), and I heard someone at my door. At first I thought it was Brin (the noisy girl downstairs) saying something about my handicapped sign that I had on my door. The the door opened, and it was Matthew (brother), not Brin. I asked him what he was doing here, because they weren't supposed to be here for another day. He said that they had decided to come down a day early instead. I was kind of in terror about this, because I hadn't done anything to get my apartment ready for moving yet. I hadn't done any clean-up or anything, and here my family was here to help me move over to the new house.

I was trying to think of some way to make it so my parents wouldn't come up and see my place looking so bad, but I couldn't think of what to do. I thought of sending them over to the new place, but there wasn't any electricity or water in there yet, and so I couldn't do that. The next thing that I remember was that I was out in the kitchen again, and mom and Pat (step-father) were out on my screen porch. I guess they had seen my place by then, and as I looked into my room, I saw Matthew lying on my swivel chair, which was up on my bed for some reason. Mom then started saying something to him and trying to get him off the chair, but I don't remember why. I think that she felt that he was being lazy or something, but I'm not sure why she was even so worried about it. It wasn't like anyone was trying to do anything. We were all just hanging around and relaxing anyway.
