i was at an outdoor concert. i’m not sure where it was. but it was supposed to rain so they had moved the concert from its original location to a place that was outdoors, but where the stage was set up, the band wouldn’t get wet if it rained. it was an orgy concert. i decided that i wasn’t going to go up front for the concert, i was going to go on the balcony, which wasn’t a balcony but it was my front porch and it was only slightly elevated so that i could see over the crowd. so orgy was playing, and jay gordon saw me and smiled. then throughout the show he kept gesturing to me and making motions where it was obvious he knew me. so there was a point in the show inbetween songs and jay started talking, and said everyone should turn around and look at me, because i had provided the totally awesome picture of Kirk. so everyone looked at me and everyone started clapping so i kinda bowed. this entire time, the members of econoline crush are sitting on chairs on the side of the stage as if they were on a talk show. and so i kept looking over at them too, and they recognized me as well. i guess they were on after orgy. so orgy finished, and the concert workers said they were moving locations again since it wasn’t going to rain anymore. so EC was like, dude, just let us play here, why move again. and i was like yeah, last time they played here it was 100 degrees outside, let them perform on a stage that’s in the shade. So trevor looked over at me talking, and he’s like Hi there, Sara right? and i’m like yeah, woah you know my name. and so i was talking to trevor who was still sitting with the rest of the band discussing what they were going to do for their show. so I said, you can play an all acoustic set, that’d be alright with me. i smiled at them and trevor and johnny laughed. johnny had cut all his hair off, like it was a brush cut, and i was like nooo i loved your hair before!! it was like, i was a very important person that entire day at the concert, everyone knew me, and i felt like i had the ability to tell people what to do. so i told EC again, that it’d be ok with me if they just did a whole acoustic set. and so Trevor gets a guitar and he comes up on the front porch and sits on the bench. no one else is up there with me anymore. so he’s like, well what do you want us to play, and I said Razorblades and Bandaids, and he’s like hmm, ok. I’m like yeah if you remember how to play it, and then he took out a lyric sheet and was going to play it.
then i was still dreaming, but it was like i woke up, and danielle was telling me her dream. i was really annoyed because her talking to me was making me forget my dream. so i was like dude, i gotta type this up on my site cuz it was so great. so then i went to type it up on my site, and somehow it turned into a U2 concert also. So i was typing out how it was a U2 concert, and that the 4 of them were sitting on chairs like they were on a talk show too. Then i was at another concert, which i guess was the opener for this whole string of concerts. It was a band with 3 people, and the song was familiar but i didn’t know who it was. At first i thought it was offspring, then i thought it was eve 6, but then as the drummer distroyed his drum kit, the announcers said it was Gob (?). then it was supposed to be EC.
and now i forgot the whole 2nd part of the dream, crap. there was a big part with u2, and another part with EC…crap. crap crap.
possible explanation: watched u2 on letterman. going to see ec next friday HOPEFULLY. while they should remember me by appearance, they don’t know my name. i dont think we were ever properly introduced. i’ve had a few orgy moments the past few days.
possible interpretation: classic psychic dream, EC will play razorblades and bandaids next friday.

me and bono and someone else were in my bathroom at home. I was filling up the bathtub, i guess to take a bath. i was sitting on the floor next to the tub, and bono was leaning against the counter, facing me. i don’t know what the other person was doing, i just know there was someone else there. then the tub wouldn’t fill up beyond a certain point, and i didn’t know what was going on. i thought maybe i didn’t plug it, but i did, because it wasn’t draining, it just wouldn’t fill up anymore.
possible explanation: totally based on real life 😛
possible interpretation: the bathtub knew what point to stop filling to, because it knew that when me and bono both got into the bathtub that the water would overflow..what a smart bathtub 🙂

friday’s dream: i was in a big gigantic toy store. it was a bit like toys r us but i think it was more than just toys.. so maybe like a Target type store, but with a huge toy section. i wanted to buy crayons, so i was looking around the aisles with my mom for crayons. and so we found the crayola aisle and she went off to look at some other stuff while i got a box of crayons. so i grabbed a 48 count box of crayons and went to find my mom. when i found her she said i should look in the box to make sure they were all there. right, good idea. so i opened the box, and there were a bunch of crayons missing, some were broken, and others were already used. so i was like shit, gotta go get another box. i look in the box before i leave the aisle that time, and again, they’re broken/used/missing. but then my mom found another whole aisle of crayons. so i went over there and we were looking in the boxes. turns out that aisle was the reject crayons aisle, where crayons go to die. it had entire boxes of already used crayons, broken ones, etc… and it was collections of crayons that could be used to replace crayons that were bad in other boxes. so i was like no, i want brand new crayons. so i went back to the other aisle and was looking through all the boxes of crayons but they were all crap. then a manager came over and asked me what i was looking for and i told him that all the crayons were messed up. he said there were more boxes down further in the aisle, but they were crappy brand crayons not crayolas, and i only wanted crayolas
today’s dream: i went pumpkin shopping with danielle and my parents. then danielle disappeared. so we were looking at pumpkins, and i picked out one. my mom asked who was doing the carving and i said i was cutting the pumpkin and danielle was in charge of the guts. so i picked out this pumpkin and it was 5 dollars, and my dad was going to buy it for me. it was almost rectangular shaped, really narrow, with rounded edges. so i wondered if it was going to be good to carve, cuz it was tall and i didnt know if we’d be able to get all the guts out. so i just started carving it at the pumpkin place, and it was fine. so i started scooping the guts out with a big spoon, but then the edges of the pumpkin, the pumpkin body, turned out to be made of styrofome, so i was like what the hell. this was 5 dollars and its not even pumpkin, its styrofome. so my dad was going to go back to the person who ran the place to get money back cuz of the styrofome pumpkin.
possible explanations: we were coloring last week with crayons…going pumpkin hunting today. at some point this week i had a dream about martin gore from depeche mode, don’t remember it tho.
possible interpretation: dont feel like thinking about it right now

dream #1: something to do with bono. woke up sweating to death. i hate night sweats
dream #2: i guess me, carolyn, adrienne and danielle had done something that allowed us to get inside the arena for u2’s sound check. i guess u2 was playing a show there. so we were inside the arena, and the stage was all set up. we were in the back of the floor wandering around cuz nothing was going on yet. no one was there. i don’t know what happened next, i don’t think we ever saw the sound check. but i wanted to go towards the front, so i walked to the heart and was going to go backstage since no one was around. but then we were in the parking ramp with eric. we wanted to follow u2 to wherever they were going, cuz i guess they were leaving the arena. so i told them all to look for blue towncars with tinted windows cuz those were the cars u2 traveled in. there was no one else around us ever, and no cars, nothing. so then there was a blue towncar sitting there, waiting to leave the ramp. so eric, adrienne and danielle i think all went and got in the car…i guess some u2 members were in the car because me and carolyn couldn’t fit. but then there was a second blue towncar so me and carolyn got in that one. i guess there were u2 members in there too. it was strange tho because we were still by ourselfs, like everyone else was invisible and we knew they were there even tho we couldn’t see anyone. then we were all walking down stairs (me, carolyn, adrienne, danielle) to the outside of the parking ramp, i don’t know what happened to the cars. i think that we were suddenly standing outside the cars, not sitting inside them, and the cars left. so i wanted to follow the cars by foot, and that’s how we ended up on the stairs. i was sorta disappointed and sad that we had missed meeting u2. so i started down the stairs, and started singing “stay (faraway, so close)” and then carolyn, adrienne and danielle all started singing it too. so the 4 of us went down the stairs singing….then i was woken up by the tornado outside.
dream #3: i was at school and carolyn was coming to visit. her dad was driving her all the way here or something. but then i decided to go home, and i told carolyn to have her dad take her to my house instead. but i knew that signals got crossed and carolyn was still going to end up in geneseo and she was gonna be mad when i wasn’t there. but i went home anyway, and danielle lived with me and we shared the same room like when we were in the dorms. there was a yellow/white bat inside our room that kept flying around. and i was afraid it was going to land on me while i slept. then i was driving downtown to some restaurant. i guess i was going to meet bono or something. then danielle and carolyn were supposed to meet me there. so i went to wherever the restaurant was, and went inside. it looked like pearl street bar and grill downtown but it had a different name. then i realized that i was in the wrong restaurant so i went back outside. so then danielle showed up and i wanted her to drive me to my car where i parked it in the lot. the lot was supposed to be a free lot, and that’s why i parked there, cuz i had no money. then it was like a sabres game or something, because there were cars parked all over. so we’re driving through the lot, and i’m pointing out my car but she drives right by it, so i’m like wtf, my car was right there. so she had to go around again so she could drop me off at my car. i didn’t know what i was going to do since i had no money, i just hoped that the sign was wrong that said it was 6$ to park there.
possible explanation: u2 stuff duh…i’ve been dreaming the number 6 alot..
possible interpretation: um…i dunno. why do i even bother LOL

again, i dreamed i was playing asshole with bono and edge. this time i knew how to play and they weren’t changing the rules on me. well they didn’t until the end. we were playing, and it was going good, and i had a whole bunch of cards i could get rid of all at once… i had 4 8s to play at once for a social, followed by 4 jacks for a social. then i only had 2 cards left, and apparantly once someone had two cards left, the asshole had to deal the cards out again. i didn’t understand what was going on at this point. edge must have been the asshole that round, because he started dealing the cards to us (there were four of us, i don’t know who the 4th person was) but he was dealing them so that each pile was being formed into a cross…
possible explanation: hah same as last dream about playing asshole with u2
possible interpretation: same as last time…

October 23, 2001
i was playing asshole (the drinking game) with edge, and i think bono. there must have been other people there but i never saw them. since i still don’t know how to play asshole really, i was really confused. they kept changing the rules on me too, so i was getting even more confused. edge had put down 2 sixes, and it was my turn next and i was going to put down my 2 sixes to make a social but when i looked down someone had thrown down a whole bunch of cards. so i was like, wtf i said i was going to put my 6s down. edge was like no you can’t do that. and i was like why. i looked at the pile of cards and someone had put down 2 jacks and an ace, which apparantly meant i couldn’t do the 6s even tho i had SAID i was going to play my 6s for a social. Edge was like no you can’t play those cards. so i was getting really pissed off and grinding my teeth.
possible explanation: lol attempted to play asshole on saturday… i really don’t understand how to play even tho i’ve played before.. continuing u2 obsession..wuts with the tons of edge dreams tho?!?
possible interpretation: playing asshole with u2…..haha how awesome would that be.

i wasn’t really dreaming because i wasn’t really asleep. it was more like a hallucination from my descending alcohol buzz…my thoughts were constantly switching from bono to the edge and back to bono, back to the edge…and then my stomach started to hurt, but i thought it was because edge was sitting on me.
possible explanation: had just watched zoo tv video…coming off my buzz, trying to go to sleep… all i could think about was bono and edge
possible interpretation: none

*semi apocalyptic*
not sure if the first part is connected to the second part or not
i was someplace, i think on the roof of a big building. it was a fully furnished apartment, but it was on the roof. there was supposed to be a bunch of people there, maybe for a party or something, but the only 2 people there so far were me and dr kirsh my psych professor. so we’re talking, and apparantly he had interviewed u2 for some tv show..mtv or something…and it was before they had to do a concert later that night. so he was telling me about interviewing them, and how they were going to perform on the show. well mtv had planned for them to play 10 songs on this show, but bono was like, no we never do more than a 6 song warm up before a show. so the band refused to do more than 6 of their songs, but they said they’d do something else. turns out that u2 performed 2 songs that dr kirsh had written. so i’m sitting there amazed, while dr kirsh is telling me all of this. i’m like, wow, u must be super excited to have u2 performing 2 of your songs. dr kirsh said that yeah he was really excited about it, that edge learned the songs really quickly, and that they sounded great. so i was in awe of dr kirsh just because he had written some songs that were now being performed by u2. well then other people showed up to wherever we had been, so i couldn’t ask dr kirsh anything else about u2. then at a later part of the night, i went over to where dr kirsh and someone else was talking, and dr kirsh said to me that he had really enjoyed the conversation we had had earlier, and i agreed. it was strange, because it was almost as if i liked him or something.
pretty sure this had nothing to do with previous dream.
i had to go to the store, and it was a really nice, really warm day out. so i took my dad’s miata, and the top was down. well i guess i was going to school as well, and i thought i looked really cool in the convertible. so i went to the store, it was walgreens or some drug store. i was driving there and there were all kinds of airplanes in the sky, because i was near an airport. 3 airplanes appeared to be on a collision course, all of them were supposed to fly to a certain spot, and they were going to have to cross paths. the one airplane was doing a nose dive, another was straight, and another was descending as if to land. well they didnt hit eachother, they managed to escape collision but the one in the nose dive i was still staring at because obviously it was going to crash into the ground. well right before the ground it righted it’s course and started ascending again. so i went in the store to get whatever it was i had to buy, and i came out and there were even more airplanes around, on collision courses with the ground. so i’m walking to my car and a hispanic woman with her kids is getting into the car parked next to mine. then we hear all kinds of explosions, and bombs going off. we can see dirt flying from where bombs were hitting the ground. so we’re both scared and don’t know what to do. then there is a bright flash, like the initial flash of a nuclear weapon. so i’m like, ok i’m getting in my car, and putting the top up, i’ll be ok. the hispanic woman got in her car too. well the nuclear weapon blast wasn’t one, because there was no mushroom cloud following it, but i put the top of the car up anyway figuring it would protect me from any kind of biological weapon that was about to rain down on us.
possible explanation: u2 reference is obvious…dr kirsh??…not sure. why do i keep dreaming about my professors now? all the airplanes and bombs is obvious as well… lingering stress about the state of the world…
possible interpretation: i think this one is pretty much explained by my fears regarding attacks, and airplanes, and anthrax…

david bowie was either my neighbor, or lived in my basement. i think he lived in my basement. he sat at a table all day long, and i’d go to him for advice…as if he was some kind of psychic or oracle…or something. he was like, the all knowing david bowie. although i knew he was david bowie, i never quite REALIZED he was who he was. So one day after going to him for advice, i suddenly realized who he was, and I freaked out that i knew david bowie. So i was going to go and post it on my blog, that david bowie was the coolest guy on earth, and all that. so i went to my computer and posted it, and went on with my day.
i had recently been hired at my old high school to teach art. i was really upset that i was given this job because 1. i wasnt a teacher 2. i wasn’t an art major. so i didn’t know how i was going to do it when i had no training in either area. i also didn’t know how they could have possibly given me this job when i had no experience. so i went to the school for my first day, and i was crying through the whole dream cuz i just didn’t understand how it could have happened. so i’m going down a flight of stairs and mr martin is there, who is a real life art teacher at the school. he was really surprised i had been given the job too but looked forward to working with me. then i went someplace else in the school and the principle was there. he saw i was wearing the ring i always wear, that is 3 interconnected loops. he told me i wasnt allowed to wear it because those rings had been banned in the school. so i was like, fine then i won’t wear it. so i’m really upset now, and i’m walking out, but then stop and turn to him and tell him that if i wanted to i could really file a discrimination law suit against him because he banned rings like that – apparantly the rings were often worn by gay people to signify their sexuality…even tho i wasn’t gay, it upset me that they would have banned the rings for that reason. so i went to leave again, but then decided no. so i yelled at him, you know what, you can take this ring and shove it up your ass. and i threw the ring at him and stomped off. apparantly that was the symbol that i had quit the job. so i’m crying and walking down the hallway, and dr lynch, who is one of my professors right now, found me all upset. apparantly he was appointed my mentor, who i’d go to for advice about teaching and stuff. he was really nice to me and he asked me if i had quit, and i said yes. and he said he knew i was going to because i had been so upset. don’t really remember anything else, except i think i talked to dr lynch for a while about me quitting and stuff. and i just remember he was really nice to me.
i was with danielle someplace and we were driving somewhere. we were on some road that was inside a church…and there was snow all over so it was slippery. so i’m driving and we are about to cross a bridge and i hit a patch of ice and lose control of the car. so i’m scared thinking we’re either going to hit the side of the bridge (like where the bridge attaches to the road) or we’re going to get onto the bridge but then go over the side (meanwhile this is still all inside a church). but we slide sideways over the bridge back onto the road, but the car was over on its side the whole time. then we’re back normally inside the car. then we’re walking, and we leave the church and find joe and some other friend of ours. we’re walking through the church parkinglot and one of the nuns comes to the window of her apartment, or whatever it’s called where all the nuns live (not a convent, but like part of the church the nuns live in)…and she was the old principle of St Amelia’s school back home. she was calling to us to come inside so she could bless us, and we’re like um no. and she said she saw what had happened driving on the bridge and god was protecting us or something. but i was like no go away, and we left.
possible explanation: saw mr martin at the high school 2 weeks ago. i see dr lynch 3 times a week…saw david bowie on VH1…had answered a survey question regarding word association with nun, where i replied “feeling uncomfortable in the presence of godliness”…
possible interpretation:…stress about my future, my job…uneasiness about my lack of religion? i doubt that, because i’m very happy with my religious status…not having one…i think it’s weird that i seem to have alot of dreams about my high school that are very stressful, and where i’m crying…my favourite trent reznor dream i was going around my high school crying… i had the scary high school filled with killer munchkins dream…this one…there’ve been others…i’m not sure what that all means tho.

first non scary – non airplane related – non military related – non nysnc dream in a long time
me and leah went to buy pumpkins. we were supposed to go with the rest of our house but for some reason we didn’t. the pumpkin farm had tons of pumpkins they were all 3$, and they were all perfectly round.
there was a concert in a book or cd store in geneseo. there were all kinds of bands playing, but no one was really there to see the show. econoline crush was playing, and no one knew who they were except me and my friends. sometimes i was the only one there that knew them, and sometimes my friends were there. so econoline was playing, and they were only playing songs off affliction, but they played 3 songs i didn’t know. so i asked them what the songs were, because they weren’t on my copy of affliction. dan said they were on affliction and i must have a different version. so i asked to see the copy of the cd he was holding. it was black and white artwork, but the pages were all photo copied as if it was a bootleg. so then dan took it and put it back on the shelf. so they finished playing, and took their equiptment away, and i went to talk to them. i saw johnny, so i went to talk to him, asked him how things had been going since i last saw them etc. it was like catching up with an old friend. then i went to talk to dan. he gave me a hug and kissed me on the head…he was taller than me, which isn’t true in real life. so i was talking to him, i asked him why they cancelled the other show i was supposed to go to but neither one of us could remember what the date of it was, so he didn’t remember why it was cancelled. i realized i was wearing my pajama shirt, it had this ugly floursecent colored sun on it, and i had it on inside out…so i was embarrased about that. so then i guess i decided to show them around the town. so me, dan, johnny, mark, danielle and adrienne all smooshed into my little car. i didn’t know where to take them, so i was feeling kinda embarassed that the town is so boring. i guess i decided to take them to main street. then we were in a farmer’s market, and it was really crowded. they enjoyed it though, and dan bought a bushel of tomatos. johnny was looking around, and me and mark decided to wait outside since there were so many people around. since i never really talk to mark in real life, in the dream i didn’t know what to talk to him about. so i just asked him how everything was going with him etc. then they were all finished, so we left. i guess i wanted to go back to my room to change, so we went to the dorm. danielle and i lived in a corridor style room like in Blake Hall, but it had 3 beds, and was a big room. i dont know where dan, johnny, and mark went, but they didn’t come to the room. then trevor showed up, peeked his head in the open door. so i was like hey trevor, how the hell did you find us here? because he hadn’t originially come with us. he said he had been following us. so i invited trevor in, and he looked really amazingly gorgeous, he had eyeliner on, and stuff.
possible explanation: listening to EC before i went to bed?….i miss them.
possible interpretation: it’d be rad if this was a psychic dream and EC did come to play here…

*apocalyptic dream alert* i was at home and my old neighbors the Carlo’s still lived next door. it was Lindsay’s birthday party, and so all us neighborhood girls were invited. they were young, but i was the age i am now. before the birthday party i had some other picnic type thing to go to with a bunch of other people. it was at some kind of state park type thing. so i went with danielle, and there were lots of old high school peopl there. danielle sometimes was herself, and sometimes she was someone else who i can’t remember. i guess the weather looked bad so we all went to sit under this cliff overhang type thing. erik my old friend from high school was there with his girlfriend. i was confused why he had a girlfriend since he is gay, and wondered if the girl was oblivious to the fact he was gay. we were eating candy or something. the sky was really dark, and it looked like rain or something. i guess the place we were at was haunted because erik said something about ghosts of these people he knew walking around there. then we were looking at the clouds and erik said there were faces in the clouds. so we were looking, and sure enough there were perfect images of faces, and i guess they were the faces of the people who had died. well this one face, the eyes were moving, and looked really scary, so we were like omg that’s so scary. and the face wasnt moving with the clouds like the others, it kept moving back to look at all of us. i didn’t feel like staying there with that scary cloud face so i left to go home, so i could go to the birthday party. so i get home, and the sky is all very strange looking, green and red color…scary. so i’m walking around between my house and the Carlo’s before the party was supposed to start. then there was this loud noise, and my mom told me to get in the garage…or anywhere just as long as i was sheltered. then this wall of water just poured down across all of our houses. it got everything wet and stopped. it wasn’t rain it was just this wall of water. so after that, we were all back outside again. then i guess there was some kind of explosion because there was a huge fire. we couldn’t really see it from our houses, but we could see the smoke. so i was on the Carlo’s front porch with the dad and we looked at the smoke, and there were these clumps of extremely black thick smoke coming towards all of our houses. they were maybe 3 feet by 3 feet. they weren’t smoke though. we called them the tar clouds. we actually didn’t know what the clouds were, we didn’t know if it was safe to be outside when they passed through and all that. the clouds had all kinds of bubbles coming off it (ok, it is really hard to explain what these clouds looked like, because they weren’t clouds, they sort of looked like black shiny bushes, but they weren’t bushes)…it’s not really bubbles. ok. the clouds were black and ominous and opaque. so anyway, we were scared and so i went inside the Carlo’s front door, my mom went inside, my dad went in the car. the other people around came inside too. Mr carlo stayed outside, because he wanted to see what would happen if he stood in the path of the black cloud. So the black cloud passed through him, and his legs got all black. Well apparantly this wasn’t the first time he had gotten tar on his legs before, because when we went back outside i was talking to him about the other times. then Jenny another neighbor said she had gotten tar on her legs before too, but i told her she was wrong, that it wasn’t tar it was something else. So i’m still on their porch, and we can see more of these tar clouds in the distance, but they weren’t too close yet. Then i thought i saw another fire (besides the one from the explosion or whatever) in my other neighbors back yard, so i was yelling fire to try to bring attention to it, but everyone said it wasn’t a fire.
possible explanation: all the old neighbor stuff is because i watched old home movies the other day. erik…dunno. all this stuff about fires, smoke, explosion, poison clouds…i’m sure it’s a stress reaction to the whole WTC – bombing afghanistan shit.
possible interpretation: like i said, WTC/bombing etc…carolyn brought up a point the other day that all these dreams i’m having about non-crashing airplanes, bombing, geneseo being a city, is all related to underlying stress about what happened last month. i think it’s very possible. the things in this dream seemed to be like act’s of god…like, the wall of water, like the whole red sea business….i dunno. it was scary though.

now i only remember 1 of my weird dreams i had. oh no wait, i remember both LOL
dream #1… i was at geneseo and i was a boy LOL. i owned an airplane. i full size regular airliner plane, and it was parked in one of the parking lots. we couldn’t move it though because the batteries were dead. so i found the keys to the plane and went over to it to change all the batteries in side. so i got to the plane, and it was huge, and there was no way for me to get up to the door to unlock it and go in. then suddenly either i was big enough to reach, or the plane shrunk, because then i was right at the door unlocking it. so i opened the door and went inside, and someone else came with me to help. we had to unlock all the fire alarms inside, so that we could change the batteries in them. well if you turned off the alarms above the doors, the alarms would go off, so we couldn’t change those. so we fixed the plane and wanted to fly it, so we were trying to think of a place we could take off from. there were alot of straight streets on campus, but none of them would work because the wings of the plane would hit trees and stuff on the sides of the road. then the plane was a big military cargo plane, not an airliner. so we’re still trying to think of someplace we can drive the plane from. but we can’t even move the plane to an airport because we’d still be hitting trees. so then i remember there is an airstrip in the valley, so we’re trying to think of ways we could move the plane down there. then we had the idea that helicopters from the airstrip can come and hook up wires and air lift it to the airstrip so we could fly it.
dream #2…dont remember much of this.. i went rock climbing with a bunch of people. at first it was with the people i live with, then bill turned into this kid andy from high school. the slope of the rocks were pure gravel, really fine gravel, and we kept sliding back down to the bottom. then i realized that we were inside some kind of rock climbing gym, and that if you reach through all the gravel there are hand grips, so we got up the slope that way. Then there were all kinds of rooms/caves at the top, and my bedroom was up there, and some kid was there. i guess i had previously dated him, and he wanted me back, or something. and so we got back together, but i wanted him to change the way he dressed, and he said ok. then i was at school, and i was friends with JC and Justin from Nsync…they were gay, but i was in love with them both. and we were all sitting on my bed wrestling and i was really upset that they were gay and i couldn’t have them.
possible explanation:…i dont get why i keep dreaming about nsync. and airplanes that aren’t crashing…weird. but anyway…bed wrestling was probably from the “pile ons” last night and ppl wrestling in his room.
possible interpretation: nsync are gay?! lol

dream #1: i was at my house, and eric was over. we were having some kind of party on my front porch. we were cleaning up the paper plates and things left outside (everyone went inside i guess) and i was on the porch, and my neighbors, who are really old, got home. they had their granddaughter in the car, and she was a freak. i mean, a deformed circus freak, not like…what people call freaks now. she was about 6 years old and she got out of the car and was walking around. her feet were deformed, half her face had facial hair. like a half man half woman kind of circus freak. she walked over to my garbage cans at the end of the driveway, and then she saw me. so she was like “hey you girl over there” and i’m like what. she’s like, come here. so i go over to the end of the driveway, and she asks me if i can tie her shoe for her. so i said sure, and she had on these big workboots that construction workers wear. so i try to tie her boot, and i had to do it twice because the first time i got a knot in it. she was a really nice girl, and there was no reason to be scared of her because she was a freak. so then i asked her if she wanted me to tie her other boot, and she said sure. that foot was more deformed than the first one, almost hoof like. so i tie that boot, and eric comes out of my house. the girl goes, oh that’s gotta be eric that i hear so much about, he’s so handsome. and i look at eric and he’s looking at us from the front porch, and i said yeah that’s eric. and the girl says something about how she heard eric had 5 kids. and i’m like um, no eric doesn’t have any kids. the girl is like, yes he does, and i’m like um no he doesnt, i think i’d know if he had any kids. then the girl ended up being the granddaughter of my other neighbors, who have 3 sons. and so me and eric took the girl back to Mercer’s house, and mrs mercer was like, oh thank you for bringing her back. by then i couldn’t figure out who’s daughter it was, because her son jon is a year younger than me and he wouldn’t have had a 6 year old daughter. and so mrs mercer explained how it’s her granddaughter, something about how jon’s girlfriend said it was someone else’s when it was really jon’s. i still didn’t understand.
dream #2: i had some friend who was a drug addict, and we were in geneseo and i always went with her to this house near wegmans to buy drugs. it was a REALLY cheap place. so i started using drugs with her when we went to the house, because you paid for them and then were supposed to do them there. so we smoked pot and crack alot. then i started going to get drugs by myself, and the first time i went i was really nervous, because the time before, the cops had shown up. we didn’t get in trouble, i don’t know why, but now i was really scared. so i went in the house, and there were tons of people there and there usually wasnt. so i got one of the menus and was looking for what kind of drugs i wanted to get. i only had $5 so i decided i’d get one joint, and 3 crack. that was 5$. so the woman, who was really fat, came over to me and i very nervously told her what i wanted. she said something about if i knew the police thought i was a sweet girl. and i was like yah i know they do. and the woman was like, that’s a good thing because if they show up they won’t arrest you. so then i was really even more paranoid about getting in trouble. so she took my $5 and was giving me change, for some reason, and gave me 25$ back. I guess she was all high herself because she didn’t realize i didn’t need change. but i took the money anyway. so then she kept going on about how she likes to get people in and out of the house in a hurry so the police don’t get suspicious, but this whole time she’s going on an on about it instead of going to get me my drugs. so i was getting irritated and was like HURRY UP! I guess she knew i was going to take the drugs to go, because she finally went and got them, and brought them back to me. she gave me a baggie of white powder, which i guess was the crack, even tho i thought crack came in rock form…i guess she gave me cocaine or something, and then she gave me an ice cream cone, and inside the bottom of the cone was the pot. that was a disguise so that no one would be suspicious of me when i leave. so i took the drugs, and she gave me more change! so i left and went to my car. well i had parked in a spot near the burger king cardboard dumpster and had left my window open. so when i got to my car i had all kinds of carboard sandwich wrappers, and fry boxes in my car. so i was really pissed, i just wanted to go to my room and get high, but no i had to get all this cardboard out of my car. meanwhile i’m trying to keep the ice cream from melting. so i finally got all the cardboard out, and went home. i lived in a department store. i lived in the dressing rooms. apparantly this was a common practice though, because i had lots of friends living in different dressing rooms of the store. so i’m walking around, and i see these 2 undercover police busting one of my friends for drugs in her dressing room. so i’m freaking out now, and i’m trying to eat the rest of the ice cream so i can get the drugs out and hide them, meanwhile i’m wandering through the store to try and hide from the police and to warn my friends that police were there looking for drugs. so i got to my dressing rooms and was looking for someplace to hide my ice cream cone, but couldn’t find one. so then i just stuck my hands in the ice cream to get out my drugs, and i put them in my mouth. then these 2 men came up to me, and they were apparantly my history teachers, and the whole thing was a hoax. they had realized i was a drug addict, and wanted to help by scaring me. the police hadn’t been real, and hadn’t been busting others for drugs.
possible explanation: the circus freak granddaughter that i didnt know how they had was probably from carolyn telling me about the new Friends episode…dunno about the drug stuff.
possible interpretation: dunno. i seem to be having alot of dreams with the number 6 involved…

i totally forgot about the other dream i had, until just now.
i was at geneseo, and was leaving to go to class. i was looking out across the valley, and there were all kinds of airplanes flying around. then i saw one of them release a bunch of bombs. i was like, what the hell is going on? the planes are bombing things in the valley. then i realized that there was some kind of military training base in the valley, and the planes were doing target pratice, and parachute practice, because then i saw about 6 guys jump out of a plane. they were falling really slowly though, and they were all staying together, like a conga line. then there were more planes, and when they released their bombs they did weird things, like one plane went into a spin like on Top Gun and then released the bombs.

3 dreams that kinda were interrelated…the first 2 i don’t know which one came first.
i was at my house, but i was still going to school at geneseo. i set my alarm really late, so i was going to be late to class. but i really didn’t care. it was neuropsych, but i had dr schneider and not dr ballard for it, which was weird. so i’m leisurely going around getting ready, took a shower, and looked at the clock, i was 10 minutes late for class already. then dr schneider shows up at my house on her way to class. and i’m thinking, i’m already late, and she’s not there yet, so she’s late too. so i was like, that’s cool, i can’t get in trouble for being late if i’m with the proff. so then she’s like, well i’ll wait for you to finish getting ready, and we’ll go to class. so we leave my house to go to class, which is in the garage of my neighbors house 4 doors down. no one is there tho, because we were late. they must have used the 5 minute rule.
i was supposed to go present at some conference with 3 other people for some neuropsych thing we were working on. there were 3 girls and 1 guy, and the guy was Bono…so i was at my house with 2 friends packing for the trip. and i guess it was common knowledge that me and Bono had a thing going on with us, because my friend Danyell from work was picking out lingerie for me to pack since everyone knew me and Bono would be sharing a room at the hotel. the lingerie were so ugly though. i don’t know where they came from because i don’t own lingerie, but one was a long nightgown and it was purple and it had short sleeves, and a bunch of lace. it was really ugly, so i was like ok no. then she had this other one, which was exactly the same except shorter and blue. i’m like no i don’t want to wear lingerie. i didn’t understand how everyone knew about me and Bono sleeping together or whatever. and it was strange because i was my age, and he was his age, and he was in school with us, and it wasn’t even college, it was high school. so i had to drive to the high school to go to class because we were leaving for the conference right after school, and it was winter, there was lots of snow. so i was slipping and sliding all over the place while i walked. while i was in school my mom was supposed to drop off my luggage at my car for the conference. so after school i went to the car with my ex bestfriend angela, and my mom had left all my luggage out in the slushy snow next to my rear tires. so i was mad about that, and angela kept talking about Bono and i still didn’t know how everyone knew about me and him.
i got home from being away, apparantly at the conference. i decided i was going to go see my boyfriend, who worked at toys r us. apparantly Bono wasn’t my boyfriend. i had on my black zip up sweatshirt, and i was really hot so i went to unzip it, but then i realized i had no other clothes on under it, so i couldn’t. so i was going to go to toys r us which was at the summit mall, but i had to take my dad’s car, the miata. well it’s still all slippery and snowy, so i was trying to be really careful with the car, not to crash it. so i get to toys r us and i’m still really hot, so i keep wanting to unzip the sweatshirt, but can’t cuz i have nothing on. so i go into the store, and even inside the store there is snow and it’s all slippery. so i slide into this chain link fence that was put up inside the store. certain parts of the store were blocked off, because the store wasn’t doing alot of buisness and they wanted to make it smaller. then i went to find my boyfriend, who turned out to be Justin Timberlake from Nsync. so he was there working, and he hadn’t seen me in a while cuz i had been away. so i went over to him and he was happy to see me, and i tried to hug him and give him a kiss but he said he couldn’t because he was at work and wasn’t allowed to. but kept trying to anyway, and he kept telling me no he’d get in trouble. so finally i was like, ok see how it feels now? because apparantly i worked at ames and he’d always come to my store and try to be all affectionate to me when i was at work. i was just doing the same to him. so then i left, and i was so hot, so i figured once i got in the car where no one would really see me i could unzip my sweat shirt. so i found the car, and someone had parked next to it, but so close they almost side swiped the car. there wasnt enough space to even get the key into the lock. so i was like, what the hell am i going to do now, i can’t get in the car. so i pushed on the car that was next to mine,and it started to move, so i kept pushing the car until it was out of the way of the door, so i could leave.
possible explanation: bono is obvious, i’m obsessed…hah..justin? dunno…neuropsych, it’s been on my mind alot…the rest, not sure
possible interpretation: in real life i am cheating on justin timberlake with bono.. yup, uh huh.

my parents were visiting and we were leaving my house to walk across campus for something. campus wasn’t college buildings though, it was houses, like a regular neighborhood with streets etc. so we’re walking, and then we hear all these helicopters, so we look up and 10-15 helicopters had just taken off and were flying overhead. we thought it was weird to see so many, and they were all flying so close together. so i told them that a convict probably escaped and that they were looking for him. and my parents didn’t understand what i was talking about, so i was like, yeah cuz the county jail is right there. then the sirens in the jail went off, which meant a prisoner did escape. they were kind of scared about whether we should go back to my house or not, but i told them it was probably ok because most of the people in the jail are there for drug offenses and are harmless. so we kept walking to wherever we were going, and we got to an intersection and there was a car, a big car like a cadillac, with 2 black people in it. then another car pulls up facing them, another big car, and it is my grandparents. so my grandpa is in the car yelling at the black people because he thought they were the escaped prisoners, and my grandpa is waving a gun around at them. i’m there thinking, “omg when did he get a gun”, and “him having a gun is enough to make me fight for gun control”. so me and my parents are standing there watching the scene, and i really thought my grandpa was going to shoot someone, which was bad because me and my parents were basically in the line of fire. but then my grandpa drove off, and we were left standing there with the 2 black guys in the other car. something else happened i don’t remember, but then my grandpa came back from the other direction so that they were behind the black guys in the car. once again he’s yelling at them about going back to jail, and not coming around here anymore, waving the gun. this time the black guy pulls his gun out and is showing it to my grandpa, that he isn’t scared of some old man with a gun. by this time me and my parents decide yeah this isn’t exactly safe, so we leave to go back to my house. now campus turned into a bunch of back alley’s and dark corners, so my parents were scared and paranoid about the real escaped prisoner hiding in one of the dark corners so the helicopters wouldn’t find him. but i was like, no, it’s fine don’t worry about it. so we’re walking through the alleys back to my house, and we pass 2 of my old middle school friends, and both of them are carrying guns. so i was like what the hell, why does everyone have a gun! we got back to my house, and it was like the first time my parents were inside, looking around at the set up and everything. we had a really big kitchen, with a wooden table that had leafs so that we could make it bigger. we had wooden floors, and i had some kind of weird three shelf hanging wall unit, and it was covered in nicknacks and candle sticks. my mom wanted me to pick out ones that she could take home so i would have less to pack. i guess i was moving or something. but by then i was just getting really annoyed with them, so i wanted them to leave.
possible explanation: not too sure. the whole living next to a prison, and escaping convicts with helicopters searching for them is real. it just hasn’t happened since freshman year. some convict escaped, so there was a helicopter out looking for him for a few days. we were told to be careful at night, cuz the convict might be hiding on campus someplace. great place to have a prison eh? next to a college campus where it’s more than easy to blend in. the whole grandparents and black people with guns etc, no clue where that came from.
possible interpretation: i’m sure someone would say all the guns were phallic lol

i had a neuropsych test, and was really nervous about it. but then i went to class and discovered that it had been postponed, so i was really excited.
i had a test, and was really nervous about it. i was going to a study group party. it was a party, but we were supposed to be studying, and then we would take the exam. it was at the professors house. and it was my old humanities professors house, but she didn’t look like herself. so i got there, and she gave out the exam right away, and i hadn’t studied.
possible explanation: i had a test in neuropsych today. that’s basically the whole explanation
possible interpretation: test anxiety. i got to class in the morning, and there was a big class cancellation notice on the door… for my professor. then i realized it wasn’t for our class… 🙁
