i was in my upstairs bathroom and saw 2 stick looking creatures/bugs on the wall. upon closer inspection they were 2 monarch butterflies.
had another butterfly dream a different night but don’t remember it.
from swoon.com: butterflies: Social success, romantic success, and/or domestic happiness is forecast by a dream of these gaily colored creatures.

i was at the casino, which was in my basement. eminem was there playing craps, and i was dealing the craps table so i got to talk to him. the next day he came back, and i talked to him some more. the 3rd day he came back again during “off hours” since he was famous and wanted to play alone. so he showed up at my house in a limo which he left parked in front of my house, and came downstairs to play craps. played for a while and then he decided he was going to leave so we went upstairs. then there was someone at the door, this young black woman. so i opened the door and was like can i help you? she barged in and was like eminem is here. so i said yeah, and she said she was his sister. so eminem came to the door and talked to her, and we were all in my living room. the girl started to play with my piano so me and eminem were just talking. i guess the whole 3 days we had been flirting and liked eachother. so we’re in the family room and he was hugging me from behind and kissed my neck. then we started making out. he decided it was time to go, so him and the black girl left. then i woke up.
my aunt and uncle had given my family a dog. it was a sorta young dog but not quite a puppy. i don’t know the mix of the dog, but it was sorta scary. and since i hate dogs, i was a bit scared of it. well it disappeared and i asked my parents what happened to it. i thought they had given it to the spca cuz we didn’t want it. mom said they hadn’t yet but dad was going to unless the dog got behaved or lived outside in the backyard. so i found the dog and took it out side to try to get it to stay in the back yard. i didn’t want to have to touch or play with the dog though. then it kept making puppy dog faces at me to feel bad for it. i guess we had one of those invisible fences so the dog couldn’t leave the yard. when i went to go back in front, it stopped where it had to stop and layed on the ground all sad looking. so i brought it back in side and it was rambuntious and scary all over again. then the dog disappeared and tom cruise appeared. he was laying on the floor next to where i had been sitting with the dog. so i was talking to him, and tom mentioned he was filming a new movie with eminem. so i told him eminem should be over soon (since we were dating) and tom was like, that’s cool. then me and tom started making out. i was like, um…i’m dating eminem. he’ll be hurt if he comes over and finds me making out with tom cruise. but then i thought, it’s eminem he’ll get over it. i realized we were in the family room with my parents and danielle so we moved into the living room.
it was near halloween time, and i went to toys r us to buy gifts (!?) with my boyfriend trent reznor. a bunch of us ended up being at the store, i guess it was the local hang out. so i’m going through the store with trent, who throughout the dream morphs between trent and nate. turns out everytime we go hang out at the store there ends up being a fight of some kind between my friends and my neighbors. so this time, i found a NIN helium balloon and trent was going to buy it for me. we went wandering around the store and i found the keyboard section so i thought it would be a good idea to have trent play something for me. so i found him and got him to come over to the keyboards. he was checking them out, and then started saying something and he looked like a old man, balding, grey hair with a gut. i was like, wow he’s really looking old lately. we started getting harassed by the rival “gang” and we were in some other part of the store, near where they sell mattresses (?!?) when the other gang came to attack. they popped my NIN balloon which i had tied around my head. so i was all upset. then trent, who was now nate, got really pissed off, while at the same time just wanting to put an end to all of the stupidness. he got a bunch of balloons and just let them fly away, i guess because he knew the other gang had a peace offering for us. so then my neighbor said we all had to go up front to where pat benetar was setting up the stage. so we started all going up there, and we saw eric go ahead of us to talk to rit friends. then mary was there and said eric was probably telling all of them to blame all the troubles on mary. so i was like, i think both of you assume so much spitefullness and you’re wrong. so we all sat on the floor waiting for pat benetar, but i couldn’t find nate. i wanted him to sit with me, but he was lost in the crowd someplace.

i was on american gladiators which was hosted by dick clark in someone’s really large family room. there were 2 boys and 4 girls competing so not all the girls got to do each event. especially if it took a really long time to complete. the first event was like the eliminator, so it was weird that it was first because everyone got deathly tired by the time they finished the one event. i didn’t have to do that event. the next event was this odd bicycle kind of thing…it was like a stair climber but you sat down and pushed the pedals which made you move around this track. you had to go to the end of the track, turn around and make it back before the gladiator. this was a girls only event so i’d get to do this one. so the one girl went first and totally smoked the gladiator. i was going last, so i was waiting then dick clark said i had to wear sneakers, i only had sandals on. well i didn’t have sneakers so i had to go into the rest of the house and try to find someone elses sneakers to wear. i found some but they didn’t have shoe laces, so i quickly made shoelaces out of friendship bracelets. well this was taking me a really long time and dick clark was getting pissed off at me. i got back to the arena and saw the gladiator i was up against. she was skinny and shorter than me. i figured with my long legs i’d be able to go farther on my machine thing.

something about tires…i was holding one of my car tires and accidentally popped it with my car keys. so i had to call someone to come put my spare tire on. then my car disappeared. i was at a garage or someplace, and a big truck drove up but i couldn’t figure out how it was driving properly when it was missing a wheel. the wheel came along by itself after the truck.
at a mall which was my high school. saw my 11th grade history teacher, so i went to talk to him since i hadn’t seen him in a few years. i asked if he added more members to his family, and he said no, but him and his wife were getting divorced. that didn’t surprise me since i didn’t think he wanted to marry her in the first place. he basically then said the same thing, how it’s no big deal because it was coming from even before they were married.
i was getting on a school bus, i think i was a young kid. i went to the back of the bus and there were 3 boys in back who said i wasn’t allowed to sit there. only cool kids who order off the cool menu can sit in the back of the bus. so i said, awesome that menu has all the stuff i like, and sat down. so then they were saying i wasn’t allowed to sit back there, so i was like, why because i’m a girl? i’m bigger than you anyway. then i let them touch me, on my hands and arms, because they had never touched a girl before. so then they were all like wow she’s so soft.
i won a contest to spend a day with the osbournes, so i appeared at their house. i guess the show was done being filmed because there were no camera men actively hanging around. the missing osbourne kid aimee was there too, and was like, you might remember me from 20/20 and i was like yeah i know who you are. then i was in a room with kelly and she was being bitchy and saying how i had all these rules. i wasn’t allowed to try to date mark romanek, who was directing her new video so he’d be hanging around with cameras…and there were other things i wasn’t allowed to do but i forget what they were now. then i went someplace with jack, and was coming back to the house with him driving the car. ozzy called jack’s cell while we were driving.
that turned into being in some classroom, college or high school i don’t know. nate was there, we were sitting in the last seats in 2 rows. we were having some kind of review, or test…i think review for a test. so we were taking notes, but i was trying to tell him about the osbournes and how kelly made all these rules for me as if i was one of their beverly hills rich bitch friends just trying to use them. i guess it was a test, because we weren’t supposed to be talking. but i didn’t care because it was nate’s last day before leaving for africa and i wanted to talk to him and say goodbye and all that.
symbols according to swoon.com:
– exciting adventure is forecast in a a dream of losing a wheel
– the wheels of a car symbolize a quick trip
– A dream of changing a tire is a warning to conserve your resources against an unexpected demand; buying a new tire predicts a sudden release from worry; a blowout portends problems caused by hidden jealousy–try being tactful for a while; to dream of losing a tire suggests that you would benefit from a season of stricter self-control
– Traveling by bus indicates progress toward your heart’s desire
– if you passed the exam easily or it presented no major problem to you, it predicts comfortable achievement of all your hopes

i went to my middle school for some reason. i brought my grandma (who is dead in real life) with me. i was pushing her around in a motorized wheel chair/lark buggy type thing. except that it wasn’t…it was a chair on top of a wooden platform with wheels (i can’t think of what they’re called, but you put boxes on them if u want to move stuff and don’t want to carry it all). we had problems going into and out of the elevator to get to the 2nd floor. then she fell out of the chair. so she got back on the chair but we had forgotten to put the chair back on to the wooden thing so she had to get up again and get back on the wooden thing. so we get to a class room which had my 6th grade english teacher inside. i guess that’s where we were supposed to be, so we went inside. she didn’t remember who i was at first, but then started to recognize me and remembered i had the highest grades in the school that year. i introduced her to my grandma, and she asked if the 2 of us were close. i said we don’t see eachother often, i had to bring her cuz she was visiting us. apparently i was supposed to bring important people in my life to whatever this thing was. then other kids started showing up, so i guess it was a 6th grade reunion. my parents showed up. my high school french teacher showed up and she kept hugging me and giving me kisses on both cheeks cuz she was so happy to see me. i told my english teacher about how i found my journal from class and it talked about my aunt having a D&C when i didn’t even know what that was.
i’ve had some other dream recently about my dead grandma. i wonder what that means.
something about designing webpages

something about david bowie..going downtown to see an outdoor concert. i might have been friends with him. something about an ugly yellow bowie tshirt.
i was driving to some cemetery with someone following me, because they didn’t know how to get there. it might have been nate, although we had called the cemetery before we left to find out where the person’s grave was, and their last name was McMahon. so we’re driving and the people following me got off on the wrong exit. so i got to the cemetery which had big sky scraper masoleums. they looked like the WTC towers. then i realized it had everyone who died in the WTC attacks names etched into them, like the Vietnam memorial in washington. then i realized i should tell someone this dream because that would make a really nice memorial for WTC.
i was back in college and had 4 papers due in one week. i realized that i wasn’t really in college, i wasn’t enrolled, just attending classes so that i really didn’t have to do the papers since i wouldn’t fail out or anything. i decided i’d do the 2 short papers and skip the 2 longer ones. then eddie the bartender from hard rock was there, and decided to help me with one of the papers. so he told me what i should write and all this stuff. i had forgotten my backpack in the classroom, but then it turns out he noticed and had taken it with him. i didn’t know why he was being so nice to me. so the paper was due the next day, so i went to the library with him to work on the paper. the library was also a thrift store so i had to go look through the tshirts first. i tried on some weird dress that was too small for me. then i sat down at a table to get some work done, and started drinking a beer….because the library was also a bar. some little girl asked me if beer tasted good, and i said no it didn’t. then she asked me if there’s such a thing as beer ice cream, and i told her something about one time having a beer slushy.

nate had come home, i dunno if to visit or for good, i went to meet him someplace. there were lots of people around, i think all his family, maybe my family…but lots of people. and he was sitting in a chair unwrapping a gift possibly. so i ran over to him cuz i was so happy to see him, and basically sat in the chair with him. so he hugged me and it was all happy. then we went off together someplace to be alone, and everything was like it was when we were together. like we went right back to being a couple again. i think he was just visiting though, because i started to question what it all meant.
