i was at the grocery store, shopping or whatever. i left the grocery store and there were lazers shining all over the place. it was part of the new homeland security system. there were blue lazers making square patterns on the ground, almost outlining every parking space. then there were other red lazers pointing to various other locations. it was the first test of the homeland security system, so no one had experienced it before and it was quite a shock to leave the store and have hundreds of lazers shining at you. at first i didn’t know what it was so i asked someone and they said it was like a surveilance system. the government could monitor where every single person was and what they were doing when the system was turned on. it wasn’t on all the time, just when the country was on high alert for terrorist attacks. the lazers just monitored where you were when you crossed them. i was really amazed that this system had been present and working the entire time i was alive but no one knew about it until now. then it turns out that it wasn’t just a surveilance system. if you were doing anything wrong a lazer could be pointed at you and you could be zapped and killed by it. i was really pretty outraged at this, because even if it was just a surveilance system it was a violation of our constitutional rights as US citizens.
i went to my dad’s new job at the power plant with him, my mom and my aunt. i guess we were going for a tour. we got there, and it was near the ocean. we got into an elevator which went up a few floors. then it had rockets that shot it out of the building and over the ocean to an offshore building. it just flew over there, and then would land and burst through a pair of doors, and then travel on a railroad type track. then it was like an amusement park ride, and the driver of the elevator was making it go upside down over and over again. so we were all trying to hold on to something, so we wouldn’t fall around. then maynard from tool was there, and he was getting sick from going upside down. so eric, who now was there, took him and made him lay down on a few of the seats in the elevator (which now had seats) until he felt better.i was walking around explaining to someone how the CN tower isn’t really the tallest building, that there’s all kinds of different ways to measure structures and stuff.
i had all of the orgy boy’s screen names. we were at a party and I was IMming Jay and talking to him. I think i was supposed to be amir. then jay started getting all self pitying, about how he was lonely, and no one liked him. so i was like, cut the crap i’m really sick of you talking about how much you suck all the time.

yesterday: i was driving around in my car and there was a hole in my tire. so i guess i stopped driving around, and looked at the tire. i could feel the air wooshing out of the tire. so then it went totally flat and i had to change the tire. i didn’t know if i should call AAA or my Chevy roadside assistance. i figured since i paid for AAA i should use them. so i got a phone book to look up their number but i couldn’t find it. i couldn’t find it no matter what i looked under. so i decided to call Chevy. So i was trying to remember that number, but couldn’t (even tho it’s on the car).
today: i won a grammy. half the time i was at the grammys, which were in a big gym with folding chairs, and half the time i was in my room in blake watching it on tv. and while i was watching tv i was switching between the grammys and a sabres game. so they were giving away the first award, and i won it. so i went up and i was like “wow i didn’t even know i was nominated. i didn’t even know i had an album”. so then i was really excited that i could tell everyone that i won a grammy. it didn’t look like a grammy. it looked like a weird oscar. it had little wings, sorta looked like something egyptian. so i was showing people my grammy and i wouldn’t let go of it. then i was looking at it and realized it was someone elses name on it, and they had somehow given it to me instead. and the sabres won.

from trent to justin…
i was with a bunch of people and i don’t know what we were doing but we ended up in a fashion bug in a plaza. we went into the wrong door, and the section of the store we were in was the maternity section. but we didn’t realize it. they had THE ugliest clothes, and all maternity, i was like who the hell wears this?! then i realized we were in the wrong part of the store and went over to the good part. they had racks and racks of clothes up to the ceiling. you had to use stairs to look at the top shelves. so i was looking at a top rack of jackets, but i was like no, no more jackets. so i got down. then someone said hi to a girl who had walked in, and it was britney spears. so i was all glaring at her. then she left. then nsync was there, i guess they had come with me and the other ppl i was with. so i got down off the stairs and justin was sitting on this bench/shelf thing, really bored. and i thought he was used to shopping and all that. then i don’t know why, but i went over to him and we just hugged eachother for a really long time as everyone else shopped.i also dreamed the sabres traded varada.
and something about politicians…specifically bob dole and al gore. it was some kind of debate, or presentation where a bunch of politicans were making speeches about a certain topic. someone had insulted al gore, and he replied something that was completely insulting to bob dole, but also so entirely hilarious that everyone was cracking up laughing. but i can’t remember what was said.
notes: don’t want to be hugging justin. let’s get trent back in there.

i was with some friends in some room. it was me, eric, danielle, mary, a few others, and trent reznor. we were all sitting in an informal circle, and throwing a ball around to eachother. i guess we were playing a game, you had to catch the ball, but ppl were dropping it all the time. then there was a rule you could drop it 14 times, and then you were out. the whole time i kept trying to do stuff that would make trent pay attention to me, or get closer to him. he wasn’t ignoring me, but wasn’t really paying attention either. it was really hot in there, so i went and layed on the floor by the open back door. it was right near the chair he was sitting in. then danielle was showing everyone some bio project she did. trent was flipping through the pages, so i went over to him and looked at it with him. it was about some bacterial parasite kind of thing. and then he was touching me, and i was like what’s going on. and he had this smirk on his face. i guess he was pretending he was putting the bacteria on me. so then we sorta started fake fighting, but it was all flirty. then we were in the mall and he was chasing me. we weren’t running, but i was ahead of him and kept looking back at him, and he was all smiling. i kept thinking it was like the video with david bowie, when trent was chasing him. so then he caught up to me, and said something about how he was really into me, even tho it didn’t seem like it, and that we should get married.
somewhere else in this dream we were all talking about poetry, and some people were reading theirs. i wanted trent to read some of his but he didnt. and then he said something about how his poetry isn’t like everyone elses.notes: woo hoo!! marrying trent!!

1. i was at patrick swazye’s house, and it was like MTV cribs, but not on tv. and it wasn’t being filmed. but he was taking me danielle and adrienne (i think) around his house. the whole back yard was filled with this massive water system of pools, lagoons, waterfalls etc. he was telling us about some game people play in one of the pools, called night diving. we were going to play but it was too cold. he kept talking about how disappointed he was that we couldn’t play night diving. i never heard why he said we couldn’t so i asked, and he said cuz it was too cold. then we went to this other pool that had archways held up by greek columns at the end of it. there were steps into the pool, so we all sat there and put our feet in, and it was very very cold. then he left to do something, and when he came back he was dave navarro not patrick swayze. dave jumped in the pool despite the coldness, and we all followed. then eric and mary were there, but they were totally in disguise, looked nothing like themselves. then we were in a basement, listening to music and just hanging out. i think dave kissed mary on the cheek, or hugged her or something, and she was freaking out cuz she loves him etc. then he put in a country song, and me and eric were like wtf is this shit?! and apparently it was supposed to be that super popular patriotic country song that i’ve never actually heard, and apparently the cd dave put in was mine. i was like, no way do i own this crap.
2. i was walking by some field and when i looked up to the sky there were 3 or 4 stealth bombers flying around. it was in america, so i thought they were just doing practice maneuvers or something. so i was watching them fly around thinking about how super scary looking they are, so futuristic, and how if i was in a country really under attack i’d be scared shitless to see them flying around. then they started dropping bombs. i figured i was just walking by a practice area, and they were testing bombs. i dont know if it was practice or not, but then the other side of the road where i was, there was a shopping plaza. there were all kinds of people around. there was also a power station (like electricity power station). well the bombs turned into nuclear bombs (i think) and there were all kinds of fires. then the power station started exploding and shorting out, and started on fire. well me and the people who were around realized it was on fire, and that it was going to cause a huge explosion. so we all started fleeing in the opposite direction looking for a place to hide and be safe. we kept running and running and because we were apparently on a military base there were all kinds of chain link fences we had to run through, it was like a maze. we tried to hide behind big structures that were around, but then realized we weren’t safe so we kept running. i found a hole in one of the fences so i went through and some people followed me. then we ran to this building that apparently was a church. so we hid in the foundation of this building, in the catacombs. it had a dirt floor, and looked like trenches had been dug into it. so we hid there, but then didn’t know if it was safe to leave again. dont remember much else, except people who lived up stairs of the catacombs came down and found us, and told us we were in catacombs (because we had no idea where we were), and i think there was a tv in one of the other rooms so we could find out what was going on up above.notes: another dream about airplanes where they didn’t crash. the whole dream was terrifying. not a night mare but i was super scared throughout the entire dream.

a few dreams:
1. i was going to graduation. apparently it was high school graduation, and it was at the high school. it was only all high school people there, but it was a voluntary ceremony. and this was just a practice run through. we passed jordan and he wasn’t dressed up so we figured he must not be going. so my parents are driving down nash road and my dad asked me where we were supposed to go to do this. i said i had no clue, just look for where all the cars are. so we get to the school and go inside. there is a reception room that we go into, and it’s a book sale. while we’re waiting for the ceremony to start and for us to go out on the back lawn we were looking at books. some lady wanted me to help her find a book, but she didn’t know what it was called or what it was about. the books there were all childrens books. then she saw it on a shelf, it was a series of 3 dr seuss books. so she thanked me for helping her, and i was like, ok but i didn’t do anything.
2. my alarm went off and i got up and turned the tv on. i started changing out of my pajamas when i realized my window shade was wide open. i figured that it was too early in the morning, because it was pitch black out, for anyone to be outside watching me change. then trl was on the tv, and the guest on the show was Apolo. he cut his hair off. so he comes out on the show and carson starts talking to him. then there was a commercial. well i was freaking out because i wanted to watch Apolo on tv, but i had to wash up and get dressed for school. so i ran to the bathroom to wash my face quickly so i wouldn’t miss apolo. well something was wrong with the water, like it was congealing before i could raise my hands to my face, and it was so heavy. it was taking me forever. then i looked in the mirror and i was ed norton. i went back in my room and trl was back on, and carson asked apolo if it was true he’s never had a girlfriend. so apolo was laughing and sort of embarassed, and all the girls in the audience were all screaming for him.
notes: no idea. i remember some flashes from other dreams too…like seeing the sister of an old friend in a store, but i ignored her.

this one was from february. i was hiking in watkins glen with my mom. i had gotten into a fight with my boyfriend – brad pitt. so we were hiking in the glen, and something happened… an earthquake or something because the glen was falling apart. we were trying to get out before the whole thing collapsed. we were going down the stairs, but they turned into just like a mountain slope. it was a pile of rocks we had to almost rock climb down. i was thinking, this isn’t normal, ive been to the glen a thousand times, and it was never like this before. so me and my mom got out of the glen, and we looked back in and some of the caves were collapsing, and there was a group of people stuck on this bridge that was cracking and going to fall apart. so then brad showed up because he was scared i was still trapped inside, and he was sorry about the fight and didn’t want me to die. so he found me, and we went back in the glen to save all the people who were still in there. then this water started rushing down the glen, so we’re running with all the people trying to get out. we get out just as the water floods the whole glen and everything collapses. then we were on tv being interviewed about saving everyone.
from last night
i was watching a parade, and i was i front of the crowd watching it. a float came by and U2 was on it. bono was playing bag pipes. the others were standing there holding bag pipes but not playing them. then the parade stopped to wait for something, so the float was right in front of me. i was super close to it, i could lean on it. so i was like yeah u2 is right in front of me! so bono was sitting there writing in a notebook, and he kept looking up at me, but it was like he was really shy or embarassed. then adam was next to bono and he started talking to me. he kept talking and talking (i dunno about what), and bono would laugh, and look at me. then i started wondering why the parade wasn’t moving yet. but then bono asked me for my email address. so i got onto the float, which turned into something more like a tour bus. so he gave me the notebook so i could write in it, and he had Sara PhD on the notebook and then space for my email. I guess i had a phd in something he was interested in (not psych) and wanted to talk to me more. so i wrote down my email address, but it was really illegable. so i was like ok i gotta write it again because you’ll never be able to read it. so adam was laughing at me i guess because i had bad handwriting. so i wrote my email address down again, even tho i couldn’t remember what it was, and gave it back to bono. then bono called edge and larry over to talk to me.notes: i had another brad pitt dream that he was my boyfriend the day before the one i remembered. and both were nights before exams, so here’s hoping that’s not a trend or i’ll wanna have exams more often lol.
