Dream Log

I'm beginning a Dream Log here because I've been having vivid, crazy dreams...every night. I dream in such detail and sometimes with plots. My dreams are very frustrating, and I wake up tired and exasperated. It's gotten to the point that I dread going to sleep at night because I don't want to experience the dreams I'm having.

So...I'm going to try to write what I remember of my dreams. It may or may not make sense. I'm starting with the night before last night...

12/13--Saturday night. I'm in college (recurring theme for me). I am in a big building where I'm supposed to have classes, but I am late because I had an unavoidable circumstance. I realize I have missed 2 different classes, and now I conclude that I may as well drop the classes because I'll fail if I don't. I wasn't doing well in these classes, and my most current absences only further complicate matters. Then I stress over not doing well in the classes, having to take the classes again, and knowing that I will have to be in school another semester.

**I have dreams like this VERY often...similar dreams about not remember where my classes are, or realizing I've missed a class and being in a stressful situation. Nevermind I graduated from college almost 10 years ago!! I don't get why I keep having "college" dreams

12/14--Sunday Night. Dream #1, I'm in Cincinnati, and we've been warned of a phenomenon that is like a tsunami coming from the river downtown...only it is going to radiate out from a center point in one big gush. Adam and I try to go to Mt Adams...We feel like we can watch it happen from there but be far away enough that we can be safe since it is greatly elevated. Sure enough we see the water flowing in and covering houses and buildings and cars, and then despite being elevated and back from the river, we get swept in the water. I had started running just before the wave hit...running north away from the river and thought Adam was behind me. I looked back and he was still in the same spot, so he got swept away before I did. We were both in the water, and I could see him, and then just as powerfully as the water swept in, it receded back toward the center, and we were being pulled...though the closer to the center a person was, the stronger the pull. I was trying to swim out, and the next thing I knew, I was still in the river and climbed onto a boat. The boat was like an Auto Ferry, and I was walking around on the lower level looking for people and trying to figure things out. I remember coming to the bottom of stairs that went to the top level, and I don't remember anything else.

Dream #2. I'm in my hometown, and I am at church. I had a room that was kind of "mine" in a way...like it was a room I used in prep for a class I was involved with somehow. I had a refrigerator in the room, and I went in and all these people were around...my mom and Judy McDonald were a couple of them, and I asked where all my refrigerator magnets went. Mom said since I wasn't there for a while that they decided to remove some...plus she said some weren't appropriate. I stood there and remembered the visuals of the magnets that used to be on the fridge...I'd had like 30 magnets or so and most of them were harmless, and now there were about 5. I asked what was inappropriate about my magnets, and mom said that one had a tobacco leaf on it. I went back to my visual memory of the magnets to try to figure out what she was talking about and there was a magnet that had one tiny brown leaf on it, and I didn't even know it was tobacco. I told them this was silly because I didn't even know that's what it was.
I ended up leaving to go eat lunch. I was supposed to only be gone for a half hour, but I went to a friend's house, and they talked me into taking vacation time and extending my lunch by an hour. They had alcoholic drinks, and I decided to have a couple, so when it was time to go back (to the church, I suppose), I decided I had to walk back because I shouldn't drive after a couple of drinks.
I was walking back wearing sandals and getting dust on my feet. It must have been trash day because several houses had trash out to be picked up. I walked by...the houses were on my left, and I was on Hwy 13 going toward Green River, and then I saw this purple/blue storage tub...like a rubbermaid tub. This one was about 2.5 feet tall and about 3 Feet x 2.5 feet wide...)I have one like it in purple where I keep my christmas lights). Anyway, the rubbermaid tub was out like it was trash to be picked up, and it was outside a house. In the tub were the skeletal remains of 2 people who still had automatic rifles in their arms/hands...the hands were in the trigger area as if the guns were aimed and ready to fire.
I was startled and looked around. I saw the house and tried to make a mental note of all I could as I turned around to find somewhere that I could go call for help (had no cell phone, I guess). As I quickly started walking away from the house, 2 guys came out and yelled at me. They yelled that they knew I saw what was in the container and that I am not going to get them in trouble. They pulled out guns and started shooting at me. One of them had a double-barreled shot gun, and I was so scared of getting shot. I knew there was virtually no escaping this situation. I fell to the ground with my feet pointing toward them---I was on my back and could see the bullets coming at me. The spray from one of the shot guns came right at my feet, and I felt it...and I also noticed that I had a bullet wound in the top right side of my right knee. I was trying to crawl away, but I felt it was useless and that I was a goner. Just then a police car came by, and I don't remember anything else from the dream.
