I was in the shopping centre with Chris and his little brother. Chris said that he was going to check out one of the shops upstairs. I wasn’t finished in the shop downstairs so I said that I’d follow him upstairs in a few minutes. I think he must have taken his little brother with him as I didn’t see him in the dream again.

As I was walking around someone came up to me and told me I had to move Chris’ car upstairs right now. Chris doesn’t have a car in real life but apparently he did in this dream. I told this person that I had never driven so we’d have to wait until Chris came back down. For some reason this wasn’t acceptable and the car had to be moved immediately.

I got into the car and saw that it was aligned perfectly with the ramp to the next level, all I had to do was just drive straight. I started the car and it jerked forward a little bit. I managed to get it up the ramp after a few jerky bits but I was really proud that I did it.

After I had parked the car, I ran to find Chris. I told him what had happened and that I had been able to drive the car first time without crashing. He wouldn’t believe me though and just kept saying, “Sure, sure”, in a really sarcastic way.

I dreamt this a couple of days before I had my first driving lesson. I’m happy to say I drove better in real life than in the dream 🙂

Cat Coaxing February 10, 2011

The first part of the dream I can remember was that I was sitting upstairs on the bus and it was dark out. I had a lot of bags with me so I might have been shopping, I’m not sure. The bus was going over a lot of speed bumps and it was really throwing me up in the air.

It was pulling into the local shopping centre and I realised that was my stop. There were loads of people trying to climb the stairs that I had to push past to get off the bus. I finally made it off but somehow I was standing at the top of my road with Sarah and two guys that apparently lived on our road, one of whom was completely bald. It was meant to be 2am but it was as bright as the middle of the day.

We were going to walk down the road towards our respective houses when I noticed my cat in the garden next to us. I said that I would have to coax her down the road after us and into my house. The others said that they’d help me get her in.

We started walking down the road, calling the cat behind us. She followed us for a bit but then we lost sight of her as she stopped in another garden. The bald guy went in after her and when he could get her came back out. The strangest thing was that as he was leaving the garden he started jumping about and bounced forward on his head. It was like his head was made of a springy material or something as it didn’t hurt him at all, despite Sarah and I being afraid he was going to split his head open.

We got had managed to get the cat down to the house two doors away from ours. We had to keep making ourselves be quiet as the brightness made it feel like the middle of the day. The cat had gone up to the house’s front door and started meowing. I tried to call her back but with that the front door opened.

The woman who lived there invited Sarah and I inside, despite having never met us before. She looked nothing like the woman who lives there in real life but supposedly she’d been living there for years. We all introduced ourselves and Sarah started listing all the places she had ever lived. Somehow she listed eight different places, which I know isn’t true, and the woman was quite impressed. She wished us luck with getting the cat in and we left.

We then went up to my house in the hopes that the cat would come running at the sound of the key in the door. For some reason we felt that we needed to be extra quiet around my house. Sarah said she’d run back to the guys and let them know to keep it down.

I stepped into my hall and met my mom coming downstairs in her dressing gown. It was now 2.30am so I asked her why she was still up. She said that she couldn’t sleep because it was too bright. I explained that I was trying to get the cat in so I needed to leave the front door open for a few minutes. She nodded and went into the kitchen.

I actually can’t remember anything past this point so I’m not sure if we ever got the cat in, in the end.

Chris and I were in the local shopping centre and he got a text from one of his friends saying he was also in the centre and we should all meet up and hang out. Chris asked me if that was okay and I told him of course it was.

We walked to where his friend was but it turned out his friend was Joseph Gordon-Levitt! Apparently they had been friends for years and I never knew.

I can’t quite remember this part but there was something about a stalker. Either he had one, or we started stalking him or I thought we were. I can’t remember at all.

The dream then skipped to me texting Sally about a trip to Belfast. I was asking her how she was getting there. She said she was going to get the bus to Drogheda and then get a plane to Belfast. I said that Chris and I weren’t going to fly but we might get the bus part of the way with her.

I started writing an email to Chris but as I was typing it, I realised it made no sense as there isn’t an airport in Drogheda. I rang him instead and explained what Sally had told me. I said that she must have meant that she was going to get the bus to Belfast and then get a plane to…Belfast? Chris was as confused as I was so I said I’d talk to Sally again and get back to him.

I rang Sally and asked her what she meant and she said that she wasn’t actually going to Belfast, it was just a stop on her way to Manchester! I told her we’d already booked into a hotel in Belfast so we’d make our own way there.

Overall, it was quite a confusing dream.

Back in the Cinema August 9, 2010

I was in the local shopping centre but I can’t remember if I was with Chris or if I was meeting Chris there. I/we were going along a narrow walkway but it split into two paths just ahead of where we were. There was a security guard blocking both paths with his arms. I/we decided to take the path on the right and for some reason he lifted his arm and let me/us past.

Then I was in the arcade of the cinema. I seemed to have gotten my job back working in the cinema. I was talking to Sarah so I told her to come over to Ben and Jerrys as that was where I was supposed to be. She followed me over but when I got there, there were loads of people behind the counter.

It turned out we had started serving wine so people had decided to go behind the counter and help themselves. I started shouting at them to get out and threatened to hit them with a baking tray when they wouldn’t leave but I was called to clean a screen before I could hit anyone.

They told me to clean screen 3 but in the time I hadn’t been working there, screen 3 had been swapped with screen 9. The whole lobby area was different too. The walls were white and the lighting was red. It felt very claustrophobic. I was cleaning the screen with one of the guys and he was pushing a new cleaning trolley around.

The weirdest thing though was his uniform. I was wearing the same uniform I always had worn, except that I now had a pair of black heels on. He was wearing fitted black trousers, a pale purple shirt, a red necktie and really high black heels. I asked him why he was dressed so weird and commented that his heels were even higher than mine. He just shrugged and said it was a new rule.

When we went into the screen, it was full of tables and chairs like you would have in a cafe. Rebecca was sitting at one of the tables with her boyfriend. She waved to me and said that she forgot I had gone back working here. I waved back and started cleaning the tables, wondering where the movie would be shown.

That’s all I remember but it was enough to leave me feeling quite confused!

Chris, Rebecca and I were in the shopping centre just walking around. I think it was evening time as it seemed to be getting dark outside. We were just talking away when we stopped outside a computer games shop. These three guys were leaving the shop when out of nowhere Chris started trying to pick a fight with them!

I told him to stop as the guys hadn’t done anything and he didn’t even know them. It was so out of character for him to do this. He put his phone and what looked like an e-reader (even though he doesn’t own one) into these glass pouches attached to the shop window. They were similar to the kind that would hold leaflets. I couldn’t tell if he put them there for safe-keeping or as some sort of prize for winning the fight.

The three guys seemed to be getting angry too and I couldn’t seem to calm Chris down. I didn’t even know why he wanted to fight the guys! Rebecca picked up Chris’ stuff from the glass pouches but the e-reader was now a bottle of coke. She took a drink from it and made a face at me as if to say, “What’s wrong with Chris?” Somehow I managed to drag Chris away from the guys and the three of us continued walking along.

A group of guys that were Chris’ friends (even though I’ve never seen them in real life) suddenly passed us by. Chris went ahead and started talking to one of the guys and walking with them, completely ignoring me. Rebecca had disappeared from the dream at this point. I called after him but he didn’t hear me and walked off with his friends. I was really upset that he would just forget about me like that.

I’m really glad Chris isn’t like that in real life.

It was dark and I was in a car with Fergal and my dad. Fergal was the one driving even though he doesn’t know how to drive in real life. We were in a housing estate and Fergal was trying to find a way to bring the car through but every turning he took led to a dead-end. Eventually we decided it’d be quicker to park somewhere and walk through.

As we were walking, we passed what looked like a photo booth. Upon entering, it turned out to be something along the lines of a slot machine. Fergal gave it a go but didn’t win anything. Him and my dad started walking ahead then. I put a euro into the machine and the screen said that I had won €850! It printed out a slip and there were instructions on-screen as to where I could cash it in. There was a woman behind me who wanted to use the machine and tried to hurry me out. I made sure I finished reading the instructions and then ran to catch up with the other two.

It was now daytime in the dream but it wasn’t a case of enough time passing that the sun had come up, it was more like it had always been daytime. As we walked through the housing estate, the bins were out for collection. Only the green bins and the compost bins were out though.

My dad found a load of rubbish on the ground, I can’t remember what it was, and he went to put it in a bin. Whatever it was, it wasn’t suitable to go into the green or the brown bin so he ended up leaving it balanced on top of two bins. Fergal then took a huge piece of plastic out of nowhere. It looked like the lid of a dispensed drink but it was about the size of a pizza. He asked what he’d do with that and both my dad and I looked at him like he was crazy. My dad said to put it back wherever he’d found it.

We walked through a gateway and finally made it to our destination, which turned out to be my college. Apparently there was a huge shopping centre on campus that everyone wanted to go to. Fergal and my dad were going to different shops than I was so we said we’d meet up later.

I had to return some books to the library before I could go shopping so I started walking in that direction. On my way I was stopped by someone campaigning for one of the nominees for student president. They went off on a really long speech about why I should vote for the person. I got really bored and impatient so I interrupted them by asking who it was they were talking about again. The person was shocked and said, “But I’ve been telling you about them for ten minutes! You mean to say you really have no idea who I mean?” I nodded and said that I’d just gone blank. The person got really dispirited and just walked away.

I finally got to the library and there were about three pink laptops just left lying around the reception. I thought that it was a really stupid thing to do as anyone could just take them. As I was thinking this, three girls came down the stairs with coffees in their hands saying that they’d had such a lovely break.

The next bit I remember is meeting my mom in one of the shops on campus. She was looking at a load of photo frames and saying that we should get one for my cousin because she’d just had her second baby and there was room for two pictures in the frame. I said we should get one for my other cousin to because they had cute ones with space for one picture too and she only has one baby.

Suddenly the cousin with one baby was there and my mom asked her would she like the photo frame as a present. I couldn’t believe she was asking her about it as it was going to be a surprise. My mom’s excuse was that she was no good at surprises anyway.

I’m not sure where it came from but I was now carrying a robe in my arms and trying not to let it trail along the ground. My mom had decided to get the photo frames and had them in a basket. We bumped into Chris then who was looking for a new pair of shoes for his little brother. He wasn’t sure which ones to get so I said I’d help him pick some.

That was the last thing I remember, the €850 thing seemed to just fade into the background…

Transformations February 14, 2010

This dream was insanely long and I’m pretty sure I don’t even remember the start of it. Chris and I were in my old primary school where his little brother apparently goes. We were waiting with him in his classroom at the end of the school day for Chris’ dad to pick him up. His teacher started talking to us, telling us about what he’d been doing in school. She said he was settling in really well. At that point Chris’ dad arrived and picked up his little brother. They went off home together but we were still talking to the teacher for some reason. She was asking us did we often have to wait with Chris’ little brother. We told her that we were waiting for Chris’ neighbour anyway (I have no idea who we meant) so it didn’t bother us.

The dream skips a bit then and I’m in a lecture room I’ve never seen before. People are piling into the room but I’m sitting on my own. At the back of the room there’s a wooden display case and a walkway behind it. I get up and stand in the walkway. At this point I see Chris come into the room with a load of people and sit down. Before I get the chance to join him, the man giving the lecture starts talking.

I don’t think it was an academic lecture nor do I think he was a lecturer. It was more like he was the leader of an order, not necessarily a religious one. I can’t remember what he was talking about but periodically he’d stop and make a demonstration like changing something using magic. I couldn’t really see what he was doing from where I was standing so I was slightly skeptical that he actually had any power.

He then started talking about the feats of some famous explorer. He said that great power and contained in his walking stick, if only we had it with us. He then called out to me to approach the wooden display case. I did as he asked and there was a long straight stick in it. It looked a little bit like this but i had lines running down it:

The man asked me to leave it in its case but to start shaking it back and forth as quick as I could. I did what he said and it started to turn blue at the top. At the this point I started blowing on it, even though he hadn’t told me to, it was instinctive. As I blew on it, the blue colour spread quickly until the entire walking stick was blue. The man then told me to stop shaking it and to bring it up to him. When I went to pick it up, it had changed shape entirely and now looked more like this:

I was amazed at the transformation and I started wondering was this a miracle or magic powers or what was it. I brought the walking stick up to the front of the room and had to stop myself from bowing to the man. As I walked back down I realised I couldn’t see Chris in the crowd anymore, even though I knew he was still there.

The next thing I remember is the lecture was over and I was leaving the room. I was trying to catch up with Chris because I thought he was just ahead of me. I had a games controller in my hands and I was trying to wind the cord around it but no matter how much I wound up, there was still more left. I looked down at the controller and it had a normal length wire. I just gathered the wire together in my hands and started walking faster.

It was at that point that I realised Chris wasn’t ahead of me but a load of guys in huge armor and ahead of them was Fergal. The guys looked kind of like this without the helmet:

When I caught up to the guys in the armor, I asked them if when I went with them, it was okay for me to use the controller I had in my hand. They smiled at me and said that would be fine, a good few people only knew how to use controllers. I have no idea where we were going to go or what I was going to control.

Fergal had noticed me by this stage and stopped to wait for me. I ran up to him and apologised for keeping him waiting. I explained what I’d been talking to the guys in armor about and he said I must have known it’d be okay to use a controller. I agreed but I also said that I didn’t want to have the wrong kind. He thought that was understandable and we went off after the guys in armor.

Suddenly I was in a crowded car park with a group of the girls form college. We seemed to have arrived from somewhere, as if we had been sent to this place for the forseeable future.  They were talking about how they wished they were part of the crowds queuing up to go home, even though they weren’t getting anywhere any time soon. We walked away from the crowds and into what looked like a shopping centre.

There was a space just to the right of the doors where everyone who had just arrived were slumped down on the ground. I asked someone why everyone was just waiting here. She said that we couldn’t check in until 2 o’clock and it was only half one now. I looked at my watch and it was five past two. I told her the time and said we should all check in and that way we could get some sleep. The girl was too tired to get up. I kept trying to persuade her to get up, telling her how comfortable the bed would be and how she could sleep all day if she wanted to but she wouldn’t budge. I decided that if no one else wanted to check in, it wasn’t going to stop me.

That’s the last thing I remember, although I’m sure I’ve forgotten a scene near the start.

Manchester Trip January 19, 2010

Chris and I were in Manchester but he had to go somewhere for the day so I was wandering around the place myself. It didn’t look anything like Manchester does in real life. Someone asked me did I know how to get to Old Trafford. I told them we were actually standing across the road from it and it was the door that was painted red and the door beside it led to one of the shopping centres.

Suddenly it was getting dark and I realised I was hungry. I didn’t know what time Chris would be back and I was trying to decide whether to wait for him or to go get pizza. I had wandered down to the docks (I’m aware Manchester isn’t really by the sea) and I wasn’t sure how to get to my favourite pizza restaurant from there.

Then, out of nowhere, Chris appeared. He was asking me what I was doing down at the docks and I said I had just kind of ended up here. I was going to go for pizza but I wasn’t sure of the way and it was getting dark so I was just about to go home. I asked him if he’d eaten and he said that he’d gotten subway. I was like, “Ugh so I could’ve gone for food ages ago”. Chris said that he knew the way to the restaurant though so we’d go for pizza anyway.

Then the dream changed entirely and I was working in some kind of office where I had to compose tunes. I’m not sure what the tunes were to be used for but it might have been advertisements. I had come up with a tune earlier but had forgotten to write it down. My deadline was the end of the day and I knew I had to come up with something.

I bumped into a guy I know from work on the stairs and we got talking about trying to compose our tunes. He said something that clicked in my head and made me remember my tune! It was called artificially hoping or fake hope or something like that. I remembered that I’d somehow made the beat from two fans in my office that clicked at different times. I ran back down the stairs to write it down while it was still in my head.

Having made my deadline I decided it was time for a snack (a very food orientated dream!) so I went to the food storeroom to get some sauce to put on the bag of pasta I had brought with me. The storeroom was really cold and a bit damp. I found the jar of sauce I wanted but every time I went to grab it, a drop of really cold condensation fell on my hand and caused me to withdraw my arm.

I tried looking around for another jar of it but I couldn’t find any. Then I couldn’t even find the original jar anywhere. Two guys came into the storeroom looking for something and they couldn’t find what they wanted either. It was really weird and eventually we all gave up.

I wasn’t even that hungry when I woke up despite dreaming about so much food! I do want pizza though…

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.
