record my dreams here

SoCal… I had the funniest dream about you last night. My Grandma had died (in real life she died 8 years ago) and for some reason I was in a doctor’s office. Well, I was sitting there and looked over and saw an Entertainment Weekly magazine with you in your “50 is the new 30” picture as the cover. I was like…”What?? SoCal never told us she was famous”. I didn’t get to pick up the magazine because for some reason I had to leave suddenly. I got in the car and called you on the phone and asked you about it. You said that you became famous because of some radical views you had about palm trees. Apparently you lived next to a huge palm tree farm (is there even such a thing?) and one of your neighbors decided to go out and plow through 4 big rows of palm trees and remove them because the palm trees were blocking his views of the ocean. You protested against it or something and became famous for that.
Then, Ella woke up so I didn’t get to finish the conversation or the dream. I did, however, make sure to write down “SoCal, Palm Trees, Entertainment Weekly” down on a sticky note to remember to write this down today!

Happy Thanksgiving :)

I had two more random dreams last night that I can remember…

The first one, my friend Jennifer and I were in a mall type setting at the food court. We ate chinese food first, then went to another place, and headed up the escalator to get frozen custard. On the way up I saw a sign that said something and then the name “Jenny Mathieu”. We were talking about how we thought “Mathieu” was pronounced. When we got to the top there was this girl, probably in her 20’s, crying and an older man ran up to us and started yelling at us about not pronouncing her name right. He was calling us rude and insensitive, etc. That was it!

The next dream, we were on a cruise ship and there was a hurricane. They brought a plane in and took everyone, but me on the plane. I decided to “fly” and follow the plane. I was flying up in the air, looking down on the world as we passed it. I was nervous about other planes coming in my direction and not seeing me and getting hit. That didn’t happen. I was flying in both day and night and then I started to fall. When I “landed”, I assumed I would be far, far away from home and had no idea how to get back home. Then I started looking around and noticed tons of people wearing KU (Kansas University) Jayhawk shirts. I finally asked someone where I was at and they said “Independence, MO”, which is very close to home for me. I was so relieved. I called Cerner, the old company that I used to work for in real life, and asked them to send a car to pick me up and take me home. I remember when I was waiting for the car, I tried to explain what happened to me to other people. No one believed me… they kept asking what I did for food and going to the bathroom.

Very strange!

I had a dream last night that a lady down the street (whom I don’t know very well) was in my bedroom smoking. The bedroom was actually my parents room growing up, not my current bedroom. Anyway, a flicker of flame landed on the mattress and started the mattress on fire. I, by myself, carried the mattress outside and started our sprinkler system to put the fire out.
Then, somehow a fire started in our basement (again of the house I grew up in). It started burning boxes and boxes of photos, which would be devastating to me. I brought a hose inside and put the fire out, and even though the fire had burned the pictures, they were all fine again., I remember deciding to leave the hose inside and hooked up in case there ever was a fire there again.

I also can only remember a snipet of this dream, but I lived in a high rise building and was sick. My mother-in-law was having art class in the first floor of the building. My husband was bugging me to go buy some new tempra paint for her because she was almost out and I didn’t want to because I didn’t feel good. I went down to her classroom and she said she had plenty of paint and I was glad I didn’t have to go to buy some for her. She was painting tempra on canvas, but it looked like acrylic when it was done. I remember asking her if she primed her canvases first because I was amazed at how bold the colors were and how quick she was at getting her paintings done. Very random dreams….

Ella slept all night last night for the first time in forever! I had a full night’s sleep, but only short little mini dreams. Here they are:

1) I had a dream that I had entered a bread baking contest. I entered one of my finest loafs. I tied for second place with a man (not sure who it was). The winner passed around her bread and the inside was very light and spongy. Unlike any bread I’d ever seen. When I asked her how she got the inside to be like that she said “To be a bread baker, you have to love your bread. Only people who love their bread and baking and really take their time can get the insides of their bread to be like this.” I remember feeling very discouraged after hearing that because she was saying I wasn’t a “real” baker! That’s all I remember of that one!

2) I dated a guy that I had known since kindergarten for 5 years. Part of high school and college. Anyway, this dream involved him and I in a mall. We kept kissing in random spots… in front of the pretzel place, in front of a children’s clothing store, by some stairs… Anyway, I looked up and saw one of my husband’s parents in the mall. Then I remembered that there was something big going on in KC that weekend and that a lot of Nick’s family would be up from Iowa. So I told my ex-boyfriend that we had to stop kissing because of that. Very odd, because I broke up with him and really haven’t had any desire to be back with him since we broke up. However I do dream about him quite often.

3) My night after Grey’s Anatomy dream… I was working in a hospital and they had these mini cartons of juice… like milk cartons, but inidvidual sizes. The juice was orange, grape, and fruit punch. I kept “stealing” the juice after each shift to take home to my kids.

That’s it… aren’t those random??

ex boyfriend and inlaws

drinks and hospital

Since I have to get up multiple times in the night (Ella stopped sleeping through the night), my dreams are kind of sporadic!

However, right before I woke up this morning I had a dream I was sitting in a circle booth of a bar with some friends. There was a man next to me…not sure who he was, but obviously a love interest. In the course of time being there, I had 3 marriage proposals from three different men… not from the man sitting next to me. Then, we were leaving and a girl walked up to me and asked if one of the guys that proposed to me was Nick. I said “No, of course not… we’re already married!”.

I slightly remember standing on risers as well, standing in the back and the man who was next to me at the bar was leading some kind of lecture.

Very odd dream. I can guarantee you the marriage proposal part had something to do with the fact that I watched Grey’s Anatomy right before I went to bed!
