There was a load of us on holidays together; me, Chris, Sophie, Amy, Kate, Tom and some other guy Chris and Tom were both friends with. I was staying in one room with the girls though and the guys had their own room together too. The rooms were very basic; there was just enough space for all the beds and one small bathroom leading off it. The door to the room lead directly to the outside.
For some reason, Chris needed to use our shower (maybe his was broken?) so he was off having his shower while myself and the girls were just sitting on our beds talking. Suddenly Chris called me from the bathroom and he didn’t sound very well. I asked what was wrong and he just said he couldn’t get out of the bathroom. I was very confused and I thought maybe the door had gotten stuck.
I tried the door and it opened no problem. One of the girls started to laugh until we realised why he hadn’t been able to come out. The bathroom had no ventalation so the steam from the shower had nowhere to go. All the steam had built up and turned the bathroom into some kind of steam room and Chris couldn’t breathe. When I opened the door back, our bedroom filled with steam but we had the front door open so it cleared pretty quickly. Chris quickly recovered as he had regular air to breathe again.
Then Tom and the other guy came into our room looking for Chris. For some reason they started messing around and we got kind of annoyed because they got all our stuff wet, including stuff we hadn’t even worn yet. When they left I started folding up what was was only half wet and trying to figure out how we’d dry everything else.
All in all, it was quite a random dream.

My mom, Fergal and I were all standing in my room looking out the window. There was a huge bird flying around the gardens. It was probably about the size of an eagle but it looked more like a mythical creature. It kept swooping down into the gardens and everyone was too afraid to leave their houses. Somehow I know that it was keeping us all hostage on purpose.
At this stage it was clear that something had to be done or we’d be stuck inside forever. My mom wanted someone to kill it but she said that she wasn’t able to. I volunteered to do it if I didn’t have to leave the house as I said I was willing to try but not willing to kill myself.
I opened the big window a crack and my mom handed me what I thought was a crossbow. When I looked down at the weapon it turned out to be a toy crossbow made of pink and purple plastic. The arrows for it were made of purple foam.
I can’t remember anything after that.

I was on the bus with my mom and Gok Wan was sitting a few seats in front of us. We were upstairs and everyone kept strutting past him in the hopes that he’d notice their clothes and give him some advice. We didn’t want to disturb him so we just went past him normally when it was our stop. He turned to my mom though and told her she dressed lazily. I started to laugh and he just nodded at me.
The dream then skipped to Chris and I sitting in a pub. We were apparently just back from a chocolate convention and everyone else in the pub had been to the convention too. I said I’d see if I could find us some chocolate that had been brought back from the convention. I got up from the table and then the dream skipped on again.
For some reason I had been tasked with minding Screech from Saved By The Bell‘s bug collection. I was supposed to be feeding the different bugs but I was too freaked out to go near them. I hoped they wouldn’t die of starvation before he got back.
Not really a detailed dream, sorry about that.

Cat on the Roof July 17, 2010

Short dream today…I came downstairs and went to the sink to find the dirty lasagna dish I had left soaking overnight was now practically spotless (in real life, it was still pretty dirty). It was sunny outside so I went out into the garden looking for the cat.
She came up to me and we started playing but then she started meowing at a magpie on the roof. The magpie had a slice of bread in its beak. My cat then jumped from the middle of the garden up onto the roof of the two story house! I started panicking that she was going to fall and then I think I woke up.
I have to apologize for the lack of updates recently. As I stated in a previous post, I’ve started an office job which means I’ve to get up early and I’m out all day. By the time I get home, it’s rare that I remember the dream I have at 6am that morning and if I do, I don’t have the energy to post it. I’m going to try to work out a system where I’ll update more regularly though so please bear with me.

I was at home in our computer room with Sarah and Julie. I think Sarah was on Facebook or something because she was typing out a message. We got into a conversation about the pros and cons of chat-speak as her message was typed using it.
I was saying that I didn’t see the point of chat-speak as you saved a couple of seconds by making your message look horrible and difficult to read. Sarah said that she totally agreed so I asked her why she had used chat-speak. She said that she didn’t use it and when I looked at the message again, it was typed out normally. I don’t know how but one of them had changed the message while we were talking. We dropped the point then and I started looking out the window. Suddenly a UFO flew down the road! It was your typical flying saucer, almost identical to this one:
I jumped up and called the others to come and look. The UFO had now flown up into the sky and joined two others. They seemed to be some distance away from us. We were just wondering what they wanted when they opened fire! They seemed to have the equivalent of machine guns and rocket launchers and were firing on the area they were now above. They hadn’t even tried to communicate with anyone before they started trying to destroy us.
Sarah and Julie disappeared from the dream at this point. I went into the kitchen and I could see my mom out the window sitting on a deck chair in the garden. She was sitting very rigidly with her head slumped down on her chest. I had a bad feeling about what was happening but I tried to call her anyway. I shouted at her from the back door but she didn’t respond. I screamed her name as loud as I could but still to no avail.
I went back inside and locked the door behind me. My dad said that I couldn’t leave her out there. I told him that somehow the aliens had taken her over but he replied that she was still my mother and I couldn’t ignore her. I refused to go outside to bring her in so my dad went out instead.
I was really worried at this point about what would happen to them when I thought to myself, “Don’t worry, it’s just a dream. They’ll be okay”. That changed everything. I now knew I was dreaming (my first ever lucid dream, if I have the definition of a lucid dream right) and I didn’t like it. I wanted to wake up. I didn’t know how to wake up though. I spent a few seconds trying to figure out how to wake up but when I couldn’t I figured I’d have to go along with the dream until I naturally woke up.
I went upstairs and Fergal was there. He told me to hide because the UFOs were planning to attack the house. We couldn’t go outside because of how our mom, and possibly our dad, was acting. We turned off all the lights (it was now dark out) so that the UFOs wouldn’t be able to use our house as some kind of beacon. The only other thing we could think of was to lie flat-out on the landing so that we were shielded by bedrooms on either side of us.
From where I was lying, I caught a glimpse of one of the UFOs with its lights on. It had two small circular lights and one long curved light, which gave it the appearance of a grinning face. They started firing on the house with the machine guns. Fergal and I seem to escape the fire due to where we were lying.
I have no idea what happened after that as I finally woke up.

Chris and I were walking home from somewhere in town. It was nighttime and we passed a venue where three bands were playing. The bands were listed on the door and one of them was Cowboy X (a band I really like). We stopped for a minute to try to hear if it was them playing at that moment but it was some band with a male vocalist.
As we kept going, we passed a tattoo place that was open 24 hours a day. I decided that I was going to get a tattoo (even though in real life I don’t like them at all) so we went up the steps and into the place. I wanted to get a moon of some kind on or around my right shoulder-blade. Chris went in with me and we started looking at the different designs.
I realised I’d be home late if I got it done so I asked him to ring my parents to let them know. They weren’t answering the phone so I told him to try my dad’s mobile. He still got no answer but said he’d keep trying.
The woman who was going to do my tattoo looked like one of the characters from Whip It (the one on the right):
She gave me a book of designs to look through and I found a moon and it was alright but I wasn’t gone on it. The whole thing was weird, it was as if I felt I had to get one done so I may as well get a moon. In the book I saw a manga design and I asked if they had any other designs similar to that. She gave me a different book filled with manga. I then picked one of Tohru from Fruits Basket, which oddly enough, was almost identical to this:
The woman then asked me whereabouts did I want the tattoo. I said I couldn’t really describe it so I’d show her on her back. She turned around and I pointed out the spot on her back. She said that she knew exactly where I meant. I’m not sure where Chris was at this point, I assume he was still on the phone but I don’t know.
I took off my top anyway and she started doing the tattoo. Apparently she had to something to prepare me before she started the actual tattoo (I have zero knowledge of how it’s actually done so how realistic any of this is I just don’t know). I was really scared but she was so practical that I didn’t want to tell her. I wished that Chris was there to comfort me but he was still outside.
After about five minutes the woman stopped whatever she was doing to my back. I asked was she finished already. She laughed and said that she hadn’t started yet but I needed to give my skin time to accept the work she’d just done on it (I really wish I could remember what she did). She put a bandage on it and brought me into what looked like a cross between a sitting room and an office.
She told me it would take quite a while to complete. I said that I was aware that it took time. She then went on to say that it would take all night and most of the next day too. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! I asked her was she sure it would take that long. She assured me it would as tattooing manga was a more intricate procedure than normal tattoos.
My mind raced as I tried to remember if I had any plans for the next day. I knew that I had college and I couldn’t afford to miss it. I told the woman that I just couldn’t give up that much time. She seemed used to people giving her this reaction. She nodded and told me that the preparation she had done would gradually disappear in the next 24 hours so I had no need to worry. I apologized for wasting her time but she didn’t seem bothered at all.
Chris seems to have completely disappeared from the dream at this point as I was walking home on my own (from town?!). It was bright out now so I can only assume it was the next morning. I bumped into Brian who appeared to be directing traffic. Why he was doing this, I have no idea but it seemed to be perfectly normal in the dream.
We started talking and he asked me what I had been doing in town. Somehow I pulled down the back of my top and showed him the bandage on my back. I explained what had happened and he started laughing. He said he couldn’t picture me with a tattoo anyway so it was probably a good thing I changed my mind! I agreed with him and said that it didn’t feel right anyway. I think I woke up then.
I think this dream came about because I was reading a book before bed where one of the main characters has loads of tattoos…

The setting reminded me of the Caribbean as seen in the Monkey Island series of computer games. Anyway I was in a little row-boat with a few other people who I can’t remember. We were approaching what appeared to be Monkey Island itself.
I was really nervous because we were expecting a fight or an ambush upon arrival. When we got off the boat though, the next thing I remember was being in this small apartment with Chris and some little girl. We were still hiding from whoever had been expected to ambush us earlier.
I had something that looked like a toy dart gun but was actually a real gun. I think we were trying to protect the little girl but I don’t know why. People kept knocking at the door so Chris would answer it while I’d cover him from out of view of the door. All the people calling were either salespeople or friends who we invited in. None of them seemed perturbed to see me standing there with a gun, perhaps because they thought it was just a toy.
I’m not sure if we moved or if the dream changed settings but after a while we were outside but there was also a shelter where loads of crates were stored. We may have been on an island of some kind because the only way to get to us was by crossing a bridge.
All the people from the cinema were moving the crates or bringing more crates. A guy from my course was there and he asked me why I was so on edge. He was standing with a ginger haired guy who seemed a bit hyper.
I told the two of them that “they” were coming for us and I had to protect the little girl. I also explained that my toy gun was real. The hyper guy didn’t seem to even take in what I said but the guy from college nodded and said he’d keep out of my way.
Suddenly I heard a load of footsteps running across the bridge. I got myself ready to face them but I was shaking. I calmed myself down enough to hold the gun steady. I could now see who was coming across the bridge and it was only more staff.
I let out my breath, which I hadn’t even realised I had been holding. No one seemed to have noticed how scared I’d been and I put the safety back on the gun. I leaned against one of the walls of the shelter as the relief at not having to shoot anyone or be shot at coursed through me. I looked up and a guy from work caught my eye and mouthed, “Well done”. I wanted to thank him but he was already gone.
Sorry about the lack of updates lately, I haven’t been remembering dreams at all the past few days.

Cartoon Animals November 29, 2009

This whole dream was bright and colourful, like a kid’s cartoon show. I was an animal of some kind (I don’t think I’d been turned into one, it was more like this was my natural state) and I lived with all the other animals in a forest/jungle. The start of the dream is quite hazy but I remember a feeling of peace and happiness. This harmony was shattered though because the dragons and the wolves were going to have a war.
The dragons had always been outcasts who kept to themselves. I don’t know how they had fallen out with the wolves but the rest of us were not involved at all. These dragons weren’t huge like the dragons in cartoons, they were more like big lizards who stood on their back feet. They were probably about the size of a person, maybe smaller.
Everyone was apprehensive about the war because we were afraid we’d get dragged into it or our homes would be destroyed. For this reason, on the day of the first battle, we were all hiding underground. We were hiding under some wooden floorboards and we could look through the slits. We saw the armies of the dragons and the wolves approaching each other (the wolves also stood on their hind legs). At this point it all kicked off and we ran further away from the battle.
At some stage during the battle, an army of humans arrived. I don’t think they had any idea that there was already a war going on between the animals. I’m pretty sure they were just trying to invade whatever country we lived in. This caused everyone, wolves and dragons included, to run as far away as they could and as fast as they could from the humans. The smallest animals were the most scared as they knew the humans would trample on them without even noticing.
I think I was an animal that could swim because I was suddenly swimming in an underground lake with a frog I knew. We surfaced to find ourselves right under a wooden bridge the humans were running across. We had to keep ourselves perfectly still and not disturb the water in case they saw us. We could hear them shouting to each other and I saw them load their guns before running across the bridge.
That’s the last bit I remember but I know the dream was much longer and much more detailed than that.

Babysitting Disaster November 26, 2009

I was with Chris in our local shopping centre. We were meeting up with his mom because we had said we’d look after his little brother for the day. He seemed really happy to see us but Chris’ mom didn’t look well. She looked like she was quite ill. We brought Chris’ little brother into a big department store where everyone liked to hang out.
Chris had to go to the toilet so it was just me and his little brother. But then he said he needed to go to the toilet too. He ran off to the bathrooms and I realised I shouldn’t just wait for him to come back, I should wait outside the toilets. I legged it up to the toilets like it was an emergency or something and I was out of breath when I got there.
I met a girl who I used to go to school with but we’d had a fight and hadn’t spoken in years. She was wearing our uniform from work so I asked her had she gotten a job in the cinema. She started going on and on about it and how much she loved it and how great it was that we’d be working together and so on. I couldn’t get away from her but when I finally did, both Chris’ brother was back from the toilet and hadn’t noticed me standing outside.
This is where it gets kind of disturbing. I went to join Chris’ brother back in the main part of the shop. He was sitting on the ground with his arms around his knees looking really really scared. It was clear something had happened but I didn’t know what. I ran up to him and when I reached him I found out that these guys who were sitting behind him had poured something on him, like oil but I’m not sure what exactly it was. I picked him up and held him in my arms while absolutely screaming at the guys. Chris came up at this point and told me to leave them as cleaning up his brother was the priority. I knew he was right so we took him back to the bathrooms.
The dream skips a bit then because the next bit has me meeting Chris on his break from work. It looked more like McDonald’s than a cinema though. I had bought chocolate nuggets (and spent ages picking them out) to share with him on his break. Our manager and another worker were standing beside us though so I offered some chocolate to them. Chris made a face at me as if to say I was sucking up to the manager so I stuck my tongue out at him. Our manager took some chocolate but the other woman said she had gone off chocolate ever since she had gotten a bad box of it one Christmas. I think that was the end of it.
I was so frightened for Chris’ brother, I woke up feeling horrible. I guess even though it was just a dream I felt responsible for it.

I can only remember half of this dream. I was in town somewhere at night and I was cosplaying. Some guy ran up to me and tried to pull my wig off my head and steal it. I wouldn’t let him and I held it on my head as he was pulling out of it. I started shouting to passers by to help me when I saw my old Irish and German teacher walking by. I called her name to help me but when she turned to face me, the guy fled.
I knew that he was still going to be after me though so I went into a nearby shop (I know it sold food, but I’m not sure what…could’ve been a butcher’s). For some reason I started saying that they’d given me the wrong order the previous day and I wanted a replacement. He handed me a blue box supposedly filled with the replacement. I went through town quickly because I thought that the guy was chasing me. I decided to set a trap for him with the stuff I’d gotten from the shop.
I reached a small park and placed the box, which was now the size of a crate, in the middle of a clearing. Suddenly a guy came up and started looking through the box. I thought he was the guy who had tried to steal my wig but before I could confront him, I realised it was Chris. I was completely confused until I looked in the box and saw that it was full of books on anthropology and stuff. I thought to myself that I’d need something different to catch a thief with. I told Chris he could keep the books, they weren’t what I needed.
Weird dream.
