a very long dream

it was tulip time in my dream and i was walking down the street in holland by myself. i noticed there were a lot more children around campus than usual but it didn't phase me. i met up with my friends and we were playing in the park until the sun went down. all of the sudden we heard this siren and everyone but me knew what it meant. we all ran for cover, i opened up the door to this old run down house and hid in the cellar behind a wheelbarrow full of dirt. i got down on the floor and my friends ethan and adam were right next to me. i had no idea where everyone else was but was so scared for my own safety i didn't care at all.

it turns out all the kids that were around holland were actually in a gang and they came to take prisoners to their headmaster tonight. the siren was their battle cry and it meant they were coming for us. we were fairly well hidden, but apparently we had gotten into one of the buildings that was a specific gangs meeting place. they all came in, but didn't see us. one tipped over the wheelbarrow and the dirt covered us but we were very visible. the children were talking about how they needed at least two sacrifices to bring tonight and they didn't have any. one looked over and saw us, and that was the end of our hiding. we couldn't fight them because they had weapons. they ended up taking just me, they said what they really needed was someone to french braid everyones hair before the sacrificing tonight and i said i would do it if i wasn't harmed. they took me outside and there were clusters of gangs all around with captured civilians sitting on blankets. there was a large windmill in the center of the park and that is where their leader was. 

i don't remember how i got away, but i was on the run for the rest of my dream. from pirates in big dark cloaks at first, then i hopped on a train and got away from everyone for awhile. it seemed like everyone was out to get me, i trusted no one. i ended up meeting up with my brother and my other friend in a grocery store that we thought was deserted. it turns out...it wasn't and this time there were a group of our old friends that had weapons, they needed to protect themselves from us but when we tried to tell them we weren't dangerous they became even more scared. someone shot my friend in the leg and he disappeared. i hid in the bakery section on the floor and looked out through the holes of one of the bagels at what was happening. they came over and put joe and i in these seats against the wall. they had their guns pointed at us and i thought we were going to die and was preparing myself for death.

then across the room on one of the doors a light came on and started blinking. our old friends with the weapons new immediately what this meant and huddled around the door on the ground with the weapons pointed now at the door instead of at my brother and i. we asked them what was coming out of there, and they said ''its either our saviors, or something much worse''. the door opened and there was a group of people, all in their 30s, just looking like average people-all of different ethnicities, and one of them was known around the area to be an ex-vampire. everyone with the weapons looked relieved but also surprised and shocked. someone said that they fulfilled the prophecy and that the stream always has an end. joe and i had no idea what this meant, but someone came over and told us that because both of us were sitting in the chairs that meant that the time came for rescue to appear, and that the end of the fighting was near. 

we went through the door with the blinking light on it, up an escalator to the outside world. but while we were on the escalator the ex vampire got really weird and kept trying to grab me. no one else was phased, they all just looked so happy that everything was going to work out. the vampire's nails steadily grew more pointy when he was reaching for me, saying 'you're right, there IS an end to every stream, but it can always flow backwards again.' i got pissed that this vampire wouldn't let me have a happy ending to my dream so i woke myself up.

lips

in my dream i was made out of fabric and someone was sewing my lip onto my face, it didn't hurt at all. the string was really long and they kept wrapping it around my head and then into my lip, and they attached balloons to the string but i started floating sideways instead of up towards the sky and the person sewing me got frustrated.

pets

my friends were all going to a party and i had to take care of someone's dog and bring it around with us that night. but this was the kind of dog that you really think is so ugly but the owner always says how cute they are so you maybe think something is wrong with you because, why isn't this dog cute to your eyeballs? and i really did think it was ugly, it looked like a sea urchin and a pig combined into dog form. for some reason it would get off it's leash and then run its head back into the loop so it just kept pissing me off. and when we left i realized that the whole front lawn was covered in huge piles of dog poop. the thing about this dog poop was that each pile was bigger than the dog itself, which made me hate this dog even more because how could a dog that little poop so many hundreds of times. and why didn't this owner ever clean it up, and why was i taking this dog to a college party.

no summer in japan

alex and i were riding bikes around town, i got a call from a girl saying we had to pick up an album from a specific house in the area. this man had the soundtrack to a movie we had just seen. a japanese composer who created beautiful scores for movies and plays. as soon as i said i would find the house my bike became really hard to pedal and i couldn't get up the hill. the girl on the phone said i needed to get to 'Limb' street which thankfully was the street i was on, i turned right and saw the house. i went inside and the girl on the phone was there, playing music on a huge phonograph. she told us that the album when translated was called ''There's No Summer in Japan''. every song on the album, after translation was the same word, so there were eight tracks on the album all having the same song title.

parade

i was in a big long hallway with lots of rooms and closets. they were full of costumes that people were putting on. we were going to be in a parade, or going to a costume party, i never really figured out which. we had a limited amount of time to get ready and i couldn't find a costume that fit me or one that i would want to wear, i was having a really hard time deciding. everyone else had really neat costumes and found all the best ones and i got upset because there weren't any good ones left and i was in such a hurry, so i was a giant hotdog. those ones that are stupid and floppy fabric with a cut-out hole for your head and you just look dumb. i was upset.

lizard

i was in a hotel in arizona with 3 of my friends and someone's mom and we were in a really big suite. the mom turned a light on and there were all these lizards on the ground that came with the theme of the room. one crawled up my leg and up my pants and it tickled so bad. then the little lizard crawled on my arm and i laughed some more.

lost

i was a side order on lost and there was something about time travel in my dream that was important but we didn't know where in time we were, but we were on the black rock. and rousseau was older but she didn't know who we were and she also didn't know what year it was. i think we were on the island before 1977, because the black rock looked really new and there wasn't anything growing on it, and also the island looked different as well. someone kept saying "get richard, get richard" and someone else said that "it hadn't happened yet, so he wouldn't be able to come to us anyways." 

butts

everyone kept pinching my butt and i couldn't figure out who did it. it was really frustrating in dream world, as i'm sure it would be in/(on) the real world as well.

fragments

in a hotel with my friend and we tried to sneak up to see the biggest room in the place but the tv was on so we got scared. holding hands walking up so many flights of stairs and then sitting on a big wooden seat. i don't remember the rest.

mountain dew baby

my brother and i were driving in florida on the highway and he wanted to stop at a gas station and get a drink, so i stopped and he got one. joe gets back in the car and puts his drink in the cup holder. i look at it closely and realize there is a baby inside of the bottle. just a little fetus floating around in the mountain dew. i said joe what the heck, don't you know what this means. you have female organs inside of you somehow or else how else would you give birth to a baby if you are a boy, even though its a virgin birth. but he said no, i bought it and i didn't realize it was in there. so we showed some man at another rest stop, he said it wouldn't be healthy for the baby to keep soaking in the mountain dew into it's bloodstream, so he pulled the baby out by its head and we took it out and put it in a water bottle, because water is good for babies. then the baby grew to be a normal sized baby and we took it out of the water and i held him and he was so cute and snuggly like a little bear. and i wanted to hold him forever. i decided to take care of the baby and adopt him and raise him. i kept yelling, don't worry about it, i'm a single mother in college raising money so i can support my child.

presentation

haven't had any dreams i can fully remember in so many nights. this one is hazy and uneventful but! its a dream and i am happy i have them. i was giving a presentation in my class which i get very nervous about IRL and surprisingly still get nervous about them in my dreams. i remember my hands were really wet because i was so nervous and sweating. they were like sponges almost. my group was supposed to present for 10 minutes and i think i spoke for a total of 3 seconds, and then this boy in our group went nuts and i remember him plugging a book he had just written, and then another that his dad wrote as well. and i thought hey, this has nothing to do with our presentation but the book cover to your novel seems really nice. but also it's been thirty minutes and our teacher wants to tell us to sit down now.
