i was at home…it was my townhouse but it was my real house. i was in my room in the townhouse, but it was really big, and i had lots of desk surface space. it was really almost completely empty, so i wanted to put a coffee maker on it. it must have been really windy or stormy or something, because i looked out the window and the view was of the view from my real house, not at school. and there was a huge tornado off in the distance. so i freaked out, and went to tell danielle there was a tornado and we should go in the basement. then i ran downstairs to tell my mom about the tornado, but she wasn’t home, it was my neighbor jenny. she was watching tv in my living room. so i was like, look outside and tell me if there is a tornado because maybe i’m dreaming. she looked outside and saw it, so i wasn’t dreaming, but she didn’t appear to care at all that there was a tornado coming and we should go in the basement. so i looked outside again and there were at least 5 other smaller ones touching down. so i was like, well screw you guys i’m going in the basement. so i went downstairs, and somehow i had unknowingly dragged my mattress down off my bed into the basement, i guess so i could go back to sleep. it was all deformed though. so then i was looking out the window, which apparently my basement had windows, and Ziggy was out in the back yard, and there was a tornado coming right towards my house. it was weakening, so much so that it was see through…as in it wasnt full of the dirt and dust which makes a tornado visible. there were some dead leaves swirling around in it, that’s how we could still see it. leaves and branches were getting sucked into it, etc, and then it went right where Ziggy was, and sucked Ziggy up into it. She had her front legs up, almost as if she was worshiping it, when it sucked her up. So i was like, no Ziggy no, get out of the tornado. And then Ziggy seemed scared, and was trying to grab on to the flying branches, and eventually grabbed onto one that was attached to the tree, so she didn’t get blown away. then a bat came flying towards my house, but when it got close enough to the house, it was a dog.
possible explanation: god, i dunno LOL…but i should have known it was a dream once i saw that jenny was in my house, since i haven’t talked to her in years. breifly at the APC concert last spring, but before that, like 4 years.
possible interpretation: well i’ve heard tornados are supposed to signify stress or life changes…but that makes no sense, because i just went through a period of crisis…so…if anything, this life turmoil should have been represented in dreams as tornados 2 weeks ago, not now, once everything has settled.

i was at kmart with danielle, adrienne and eric. we had tickets to go see janet jackson, and the entrance to the arena was in kmart. so we were walking around kmart trying to find the door to the arena. it took so long to find that we were late to the show and missed the beginning. dunno what happened to eric, so then it was just me danielle and adrienne watching the show from the second last highest row…but it wasn’t that high. there was no one else in the section. i dont remember there being a show, but supposedly there was. then these people came and sat behind us, and there were 2 little kids. the one kept kicking my seat, then he had his feet against my shoulders and was pushing me. so i got up and moved seats. then the kid’s white trash mother said he wouldn’t do it anymore, so i went back to my seat. then the woman touched me, and i freaked out, she was laughing at me and was like, wow you’re touchy. so then someone else was on stage singing. the people had set up the stage for “escapade” but then someone else came out and sang because janet was taking a break. then they took the set away without doing escapade. then aretha franklin came out and sang, and i was so confused. then we were back in kmart and we were in a checkout line. i was really confused about these other people coming out to perform instead of janet, and someone asked me if i wanted to see kelly illig sing next. and i was like HELL NO. so the cashier made an annoucement over the loud speaker that there was a bad weather warning, so people should consider leaving, to avoid the snow. so we all went out and got in eric’s car and were driving through the parking lot. so then i was like, dude, you guys can do whatever you want, but i’m going back to the concert. i wanted to see “if” and even tho janet didn’t do it at the show i was at in real life, i thought it’d be my luck to leave this show and have her do it. so i went back in kmart, and again, ran around trying to find the door to the arena. i found it, and then in the arena i had no idea where to go to find my seat. so i got out my ticket and was trying to find the right aisle to enter. so i finally did, but it wasn’t right, so i had to run down some stairs, and finally got to my section. it was super far away, and janet was doing “if” so i started walking towards the stage by the railings and got up pretty close, so i could see. the arena didn’t look like a real arena, it was really weird. and there was hardly anyone there.
possible explanation: not all that sure
possible interpretation: why do i bother even doing this part anymore lol

i was part of the superbowl halftime show with u2. it wasn’t like the real performance, cuz the stage was a circle not a heart, and not hollow. me adrienne and 2 other of my friends were running around the circle stage, cuz apparently this was part of the show. then at the end, we were in line for a meet and greet with u2. there were these square glass shelves separating all the people in line from u2 and the body guards and workers etc. my mom’s godson paul was one of the people working behind the glass shelves. the shelves came up to my shoulders, and this was so no one could attack u2. paul was handing out tshirts to everyone in line, for u2 to sign. then danielle was there, and she went over to paul and hugged him and wouldn’t let go. so paul gave me a shirt, and i went to talk to larry. larry didn’t look like larry really, but it was larry. so i give him the shirt, and he signs it. then i realize i have a camera so i’m like, i dont know if i’m allowed to take a picture but i am anyway. so larry looks up and sees my camera and smiles. so i’m thinking, the u2 girls are gonna love this pic of larry smiling. so then i go onto the next one, and it turns out to be Johnny from econoline crush. but apparently he was supposed to be in u2, and everyone knew this. so i’m like hi, larry still has my shirt. so then larry gives the shirt to johnny, and he asks for my name. and i’m like sara. and so johnny goes, hey bono, we got another sara. and bono (who actually was bono and looked like bono) said oh, with an h or without (something like that). and so i’m staring at bono and i’m like no H. and he’s like, oh, sometimes i just wanna keep putting letters on that name forever. so i was like ??? but i was just like, it’s bono, omg, i’m going to talk to bono next. so then johnny signs my shirt and he’s just staring at me.
i was in a gang in the ghetto. i was a new member, but then i was the leader. we were walking around looking to cause trouble, but no one was challenging us. so we were all pissed off. so we were sitting in a parkinglot against a building and we had bought two toy golf sets. apparently it was illegal to possess these toy golf sets. so we wanted to attract the cops to have a confrontation, so we left the sets by the street so they’d see them and stop. well they did. the cops come over and are talking to us, and we’re just like whatever. then they’re like you realize no one is allowed to have these. we’re like yeah. so. so then one of the cops, a woman, opens the golf set and takes one of the clubs out. she walks over to us, and starts whipping one of the male gang members across the back with the club. so now i’m getting pissed cuz i was actually witnessing LAPD police brutality. so i take the club, and i go up to the cop, and i’m like listen here you mother fucker (with a nice ghetto accent) if you come around here anymore, bitching about our golf sets, you know what i’m gonna do? i’m gonna take this golf club and shove it up your fucking ass. my favorite thing to do with golf clubs is shove them up fucking cop’s asses. so that scared all the cops off, and the rest of my gang was cheering for me.possible explanation: not really sure
possible interpretation: haha

U2 was playing in buffalo at the football stadium. i had been telling people about how i didn’t have tickets, so i was upset, but i wasn’t going to bother trying to find any cuz it was going to be on tv. so it was the day of the show, and somehow i was there. i was sitting in one of the middle levels, on adam’s side of the stage. so i’m sitting around and talking to a person that was next to me. then suddenly we were on the floor, a few rows from the front, and we had seats near he aisle. the opener came on and it was kid rock. but he wasn’t playing normal kid rock songs. the person behind me was saying that she really didn’t enjoy this kind of music, and i had figured as much for some reason. then lindsay was behind me i realized, and there were other school age kids around, and they had to do some project where they needed a copy of the openers set list. people had been handing the setlist out to everyone, but they were all different. and then the songs that were actually being played were not the same as the ones on the setlist. then brian may came onstage and played 2 queen songs, and one imported freddie mercury’s voice to play while brian was playing keyboards. so the opener finished, and then i was back home watching it on tv. my dad came home and wanted me to do something with my car, look under it or something. and i was like nope, my concert starts in 4 minutes. then i must have had the wrong channel on because i missed the very beginning, and turned to it in the middle of the song. bono had on regular dorky clear glass glasses on instead of his usual tinted ones, so that was weird. then i was at a water park, but it was a beach. and it had pure white sand, and everyone was in white bathing suits. so i went in the pool and was swimming, then i got out to walk around. i guess i was in this other pool and i saw people giving kids water to drink out of the pool. that confused me cuz usually pools have tons of chlorine in them. i was walking back to the first pool, and there was an announcment about how these pools have a new method where they dont use chlorine, but that meant that body fluids in the pool would stay in there, or something, so that people needed to be careful about cutting themselves etc. there was a kiddie pool next to the big pool and it had been evacuated cuz the water was all brown. then i was home again watching tv again, and it was a show about U2 at an amusement park. they were showing camera footage of u2 on rollercoasters. they were showing this one coaster, it was red, and larry and bono were on it. larry looked like joshua tree era but bono looked like recent times, and bono was screaming but larry wasn’t. then i realized i was on the rollercoaster. so i’m shouting MOM I’M ON TV! and she’s like what? and I’m like yeah I’m on TV! so she looks, and they’re showing the footage, and sure enough I had been on the roller coaster at the same time, with all the neighborhood girls. but we were kids, so the footage was really old. i looked like i was 5. and since a bunch of 3-5 year olds were on this coaster with u2 it must have been a baby ride. then they showed footage of u2 on this water ride. there were a bunch of rubber rafts connected to eachother, that then went through a log ride type set up. but when the ride was going down the first hill, bono’s raft malfunction and became unattached from the rest, so he went flying over the hills on his own (all the rafts were supposed to detach after the last hill to go speeding off to the end). so it was really scary because he could have gotten really hurt cuz it malfunctioned.
then this other dream about being in a bar after the superbowl, but it was decorated for christmas, and it might have been partly a church because someone asked me if i’d go up the tower and ring the bells so i did. and to do that i had to hit a heating duct every time i wanted the bells to ring.possible explanation: was reading u2 book, discussed amusement parks and rollercoasters with housemates during dinner
possible interpretation: whatever

i found our missing ice cream in the fridge. i went into the fridge to get something, closed it, and then was like WAIT… I opened it again and 2 pints of peanut butter cup ben and jerry’s ice cream were in there, all melted. so i took them out, and told danielle i had found them, and put them into the freezer to refreeze. if they were ok refrozen we would keep them. then i looked in the fridge again and found leah’s half gallon of strawberry, all melted. i told her, and when i went to pick it up the melted ice cream oozed all over the fridge.
possible explanation: we were discussing the stolen ice cream last night
possible interpretation: i think it’s really self explanatory
