Bird In The House

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

Jair In The Movies

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

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

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

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

Jumping Speedboat On The River

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Anna Paquin And The Fruit Buffet

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

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

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

Don't Catch A Second Cold

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

McGruff and the Case at the Muddy Fort

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

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

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

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

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

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

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