Lullaby

Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open,the sun will rise.

Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

This is a quote from a really good book, The Hunger Games. It may seem teeny bopper, but it actually has depth and appeals to many audiences!

Bee the Bitch!

Yes this time I purposely spelled it "bee" 


To explain the bitch part I must explain my dream, and it all took place at Sonic. For all you non-southwest people, Sonic is a drive-in fast food joint that is highly popular for it's ability to make amazing ice and put soda in a perfectly made 44 oz drink! My favorite in particular is a large Dr. Pepper with easy ice! 


Back to my dream!
I was at Sonic with my family and I was riding in the back seat. We ordered and received our food. When you order food at Sonic it always takes you 10 minutes longer than you ever wanted! So I was already cranky because I had to wait so long. Then I reach into my goodie bag and take a bite of delicious french fries and guess what! THEY WERE COLD! I hit the red button to call the car hop immediately! She returned with a smile on her face which quickly turned to a frown because I started yelling at her. She snapped back saying I can't help you,  we never had guidelines to deal with unhappy customers. I quickly changed my attitude towards her and demanded her manager. She quickly ran away! While waiting for the manager my family was begging me to leave it alone, and of course I wouldn't. Her manager came to the window and I start yelling at him for his lack of guidelines and protocol. 
That's all I remember! If you ask me I was pretty bitchy in this dream




Next, I wanted to share with you a dream that has plagued/defined my life. When I was younger I had a dream that I was being chased by gigantic bees! This all took place in my old house and probably my favorite after my current house! I was trapped running through hallways and rooms trying to escape these bees! When I say gigantic I mean BEAR sized bumble bees that I knew were poisonous. That's all there is to that dream. BUT, it has been in my head since I was probably about five:

This dream has led to my extreme fear of bees or any other type of flying buzzing stinging bug! This dream plagues me every summer and spring when bees come out from hiding and come out to play! Every time I see a bee or insect of that variety I immediately return to being trapped in my house and they grow 20 times their size!


It also has ironically helped to define a piece of who I am! One of my nicknames is bee, how that happened I don't know. I know it stems from my last initial being B, but really? My greatest fear is now a very popular nickname among my friends! Don't get me wrong my friends don't call me bee to make fun of me, it just happened! Another piece of me involves my late Papa. Papa is my mom's dad and he was a strong man who I highly respect. He was literally deathly allergic to bees and wasps and every time I see one I think of him.


So bees in my life are variable in their significance. They can be a part of a dear memory of my Papa, a remnant of a long lost dream, and a nickname! That's why I find them fascinating and terrifying at the same time! 


They also make a frequent appearance in my doodles!

Observations

So I have noticed that my dreams seem to help me envision my next day. Over the thanksgiving break I often dreamed of things that I would do the next day. I would ask my aunt how to make a cheesecake. I would cook with my mom for thanksgiving dinner. I think my mind was so preoccupied with the next day it sorted through the happenings. Sorry for the lame dreams over the break, but I thought I would recall one of my favorite dreams!

In this dream reality I worked at a mental institution with my ex, Jake.  Jake and I were working with this patient together. She was put in the institution after she lost a baby and went into a crazy depression. We gave her drugs to help her sleep. As soon as she fell asleep my dream entered into her dream. In her dream, Jake and I were dressed in leather warrior/superhero outfits. Our mission in her dream was to retrieve the package from the middle of the castle. The castle was surrounded by a moat of fire and hundreds of knights  with deadly weapons. My weapon of choice was the best bow and arrow I could imagine! Jake was more of a hand to hand combat type of guy, but he kept an ax with him just in case. He opened up the path for me to charge through. We battled through the whole castle and went to the deepest parts of the castle! We finally reached the prize room and her package was in the middle of the room. It was her little baby, precious and swaddled calm as ever. I quickly cradled the baby in my arms and ran up to the top of the tallest tower. Once I reached the top balcony, I wrapped the baby like the stork would and put my arrow through the top knot. I braced my arrow, aimed it towards the moon and shot the baby straight towards the moon! The patient was on the surface of the moon and caught her baby gently and with ease. She smiled and I zoomed out of the dream back into my dream reality. The next day when we checked on the patient, she was perfect. She was pretty much cured!

This is one of my favorite dreams I have ever had. There was adventure, depth, and really cool costumes. I also really like that she was better after her mind healed itself. I love how I created someone's dream within my own dream!

I'll keep you all posted on my dreams and if I don't have any I will recall some of my personal favorites!

Future?

So this dream is seemingly normal until it isn't...

Earlier in the day I was asking Kole if we were going to party to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. He said we were going to go to Mitchell's house and have a good good time!

Well my dream started as we are on our way to the party. Mitchell brought a girl and we stopped at her house on the way to Mitchell's. So it was Kole, Mitchell, the girl, and my uncle Evodio at this girl's house. Mitchell and this girl were all over each other, so Kole and I left to go to the other room. We decided we were not getting drunk enough to sit around and watch Mitchell get lucky. We said our goodbyes to the lovers and we got into Kole's car. Now here is where my dream went a little bonkers. Kole's car was a house. I am serious. It kind of looked like a dollhouse enlarged. Kole by this point was drunk and he needed me to drive the house. In my dream, this was no big deal! We were about to head out when Evodio, Mitchell, and the girl walk in. So we just resumed the party in Kole's house car!

Eventually, I went home in a different mode of transportation and continued what I planned to prepare for Thanksgiving!

I wanted this blog to strictly be a dream journal, however, I think I might post random snippets or thoughts from my head. These thoughts usually stem from day dreams, so I guess it stays true to the dream blog!

Hurry up Thanksgiving!

Grandma and I were driving and we had to get there fast! We tried to take a short cut, but it led to a dead end surrounded by a fence. So we drove around the perimeter of the fence so we could find an exit. Soon the police were following us with lights up and sirens blaring! We just drove trying to avoid them. Grandma told me to keep my eyes forward and they would disappear. However, I could not help myself and as soon as I looked back the police cars fell head first into a ravine. We knew the pursuit wasn't over so we found our way to the highway and kept driving. We knew we were in trouble with the law and we worked on our backup plans. Nothing came to mind. We were flustered and eventually had to return to Grandma's. It was Thanksgiving! We were going to be late cooking dinner! 

The end.

The next dream I remember, well sort of, had to do with Kole and Mitchell and finding something. I remembered the dream in full when I woke up around 5 am, but when I woke up at 9:30 it was all gone. Damn. There was a large wave and a beach front house. That's as far as my memory takes me!

It's a party, yea!

Today is from my iPad! Since last night I was partying until pretty late, my dreams continued the party in my head. I could describe the house party from my dream, but they are all the same! I did see a few friends in my dream that I miss, which was nice. Needless to say I was drunk and ended up kissing the guy I flirted with all night. It was very pleasant! But I am tired and hungover, until later!

A whole lot of nothing!

So my dreams were only snippets last night...

I dreamed I had a conversation with the actress from Precious. Then that my dad finally made me chorizo.

And that's all you get today bloggers! I can't be crazy every night!

I may not always dream at night, but rest assured I dream all day everyday and I suggest you do the same too!

I am flying around in a tornado!

The main dream I remember involves tornados. I am at my apartment getting ready for whatever I am about to do when I walk out onto my balcony. Off in the distance I see a beautiful tornado just tearing through the nearby town of Purcell. Since I am from Oklahoma everything is flat and you can easily see a town over if you are on the 3rd floor. I watch this tornado and realize it is headed straight towards Norman (where I currently live.) First rule of tornado safety, go to the lowest part of your house or apartment and protect your body from debris. However, for a native Oklahoma, the first rule for tornados is grab as much alcohol you can find, grab a chair, turn on Gary England (our local weatherman) and enjoy the night! So of course in my dream that's what everyone in my apartment complex did! We all met on the tennis courts and enjoyed the view. We watched as the tornado switched courses and went to the east of us. I was there with my good friends Kole, Kenzie, and Blaine (names have been changed). After the excitement of the tornados we all went back to our apartments and the sun came out bright and shining.

Then there was a snippet of a dream. Somehow I ended up in a small airplane with Kole, Kenzie, and Blaine. Kenzie was flying and we were practicing landing. Kole was experienced and he guided Kenzie through the whole thing. We landed safely and that's that for the snippet.

One more, and no it is not typical for me to have 3 dreams in one night.

This is my mind continuing events from last night. Last night, Kole was trying to get with this girl. However, she was super drunk and at some points he asked me to take care of her. So the next day when I saw him I yelled at him for making me babysit his fuck buddy. He apologized and that's when I finally woke up for the day.

By the way it's super windy in Oklahoma today which is probably what inspired the tornado dream! Also I found out that it was the eve of Oklahoma's birthday! Even my dreams acknowledged Ok's birthday!

Dreams a plenty from 11/15/11

My first dream was at Casady in the chapel. (Casady was the private episcopalian high school that I attended.) I started this dream the night before, but never finished it. I was a part of this group that was trying to better the school. We gathered all the students in the chapel and started a regime change. For the people who acted up there was a mixture in the form of an injection that would make people fall asleep. It was orange and glowing. I usually only injected the bigger male students or the bitchy female students. We must have been successful because afterwards Natalie and I wanted to go get food. (Natalie is my best friend since we were five. She usually plays a role in my dreams, get used to it.) She wanted this burrito place that we could walk to. I have had this burrito in another dream before but have yet to actually have it in real life. I order a chorizo plate after Natalie had already ordered a long time ago. I wasn't moving very quickly in line and three bitches started to give me shit. I acted cool because these girls obviously wanted to fight. Then as I'm checking out, the main bitch stops me by pulling on my ponytail. That's when I lose it. I told her if she yanked my ponytail she was going to die. So of course she did. So I threw my tray of chorizo in her face and tackled the bitch. We proceed to fight, I even try to use one of my judo moves on her. Then Natalie comes in and stops everything. The next thing I remember is worrying about if I should get more chorizo or not. 

The next dream seemed to be in the future or possibly on a spaceship because everything was in cubbys or cubicles. Mom was slowly dying of a brain tumor. I had been somewhere with friends. I just remember traveling back and the roads reminded me of a bright colored version of Tron. When I returned Nana told me that mom's tumor was progressing. I started crying. Then I went running for Dad and I found him. We talked about it and that's all I have.

And another,

James Harden was in my dream with a larger mohawk and more shaved off the sides. (He is an NBA basketball player for the Oklahoma City Thunder.) I started talking to him then yelling at him about the lockout.

Switch over to more realistic yet confusing dreams because they are realistic. I dreamed that I woke up looked at my alarm and decided not to go to class, but rather go to the gas station. I know this was a dream because I woke up before my alarm and was confused why I woke up before. Once realizing it was all a dream, I fell back asleep and decided not to go to class.

There you have it! This medley of dreams from one night kind of highlights how different my dreams can get!

Hope you enjoyed!

Description of the Author

Well my name is Nina and I have some crazy dreams. I love to tell my friends about them and they always laugh or ask "are you sure you're not on drugs?" Sometimes my dreams are unrealistically realistic and sometimes they are completely toys in the attic and sometimes they are just badass. If you see me ever say Suenos Locos, it means crazy dreams and that is the common theme among them. I started this online dream journal as a way to immortalize my mind's creativity weirdness and loca. These dreams make up who I am because if they didn't I wouldn't dream it! You can interpret them if you want or you can just read about someone's crazy mind!
Enjoy!
