Dream Journal
I stepped outside of my grandma’s house to call the dogs inside for the evening. On a tall cliff to my right sat a dog completely frosted over. I didn’t recognize it, but I was very worried that it would be dead because of being so frozen. I called to it, and it slowly became able to move.
It jumped down into my arms and I rubbed its fur roughly to get the dog war, I rub it to get it warm while calling for Max and Chilly. Melissa and a few of her friends emerged from trail in the woods with Max and Chilly. I asked where they had been and if they knew the dog. They didn’t recognize the dog, and they had been at the beach.
Melissa, Damon and I went with Karen B to Paris. I was amazed at how short the flight was and that we had no layovers - the last time I went to Paris I had a layover in Chicago and the flight was extraordinarily long.
Once there, I realized that I didn’t ask my parents if I could go and they didn’t know where Melissa and I were. I mentioned this to Damon, and he said that his wife didn’t know where he was, either, but that the trip was only for 24 hours so its okay. I told him that no, the tickets were for 5 days - I had seen them. He wasn’t concerned at all, but he was going to be on vacation next week, and his wife would not be happy.
We checked into the best western. Karen didn’t speak French so I tried talking to the man at check-in counter. He was sitting on the other side of a wide desk behind a glass window.
“Salut. Parlez-vous Englais?” He didn’t speak any English. He spoke hundreds of languages, but not English. I tried to form the sentence, ‘may we have the key to our room, please?’ but all I could remember were the nouns for key and room. After some pantomiming, he gave us our key and we went out onto the sidewalk to find our room.
All the room doors were right on the road, and we walked past a few doors marked in the mid-400s. Our room was #6, and it was going to be a very, very long time before we reached our door. Karen called us back to the lobby and suggested we go out the other door on the other side of the building - that is where the lower numbers would start.

I was spending a lot of time with my mother wandering through shops, laughing, and having a great time. Late in the afternoon, I realized the date is the 24th and Christmas is the next day.
I told my mom that I really wanted to spend Christmas with B, and that I would have to go to his parents’ house to do that.She was sad to see me leave, but she understood.
I had seen B’s sister a while earlier, and I tried to follow where I had seen her going. I ended up in either China or a Chinese section of town. I couldn’t read any of the signs or understand any of the people. I didn’t know where B’s parents’ house was located, and I was completely lost.
I stepped into a candle shop where people were sprinkling powdered candles all over the floor. I picked up a bag of 20 tiny pillar candles of random circumference and color - they were the leftovers from some other candle project. They were only $10; I wanted to get some, but someone sprinkled a powder candle on me.
B crawled into my bed and lied down with his body completely on top of me. The blankets are pulled all the way up so as to cover his shoulders. We kissed passionately, and then I pulled off my tank top so that he can better access my breasts if he wants.
Then I am swimming in a lake with two other people. B appeared on the shore holding black leather chaps. He was about to zip the chaps on and get into the water to climb on top of me, but I told him that the other people in the lake would know what we were doing. He leaves the chaps on the shore and joins me.
After a bit of the heavy make-out session that did not include any intercourse, I asked him if he had orgasmed yet; he hasn’t. He asked me the same question, and I tell him that I haven’t either.
We went inside and continued in the shower of a relative’s house. I accidentally pulled the shower curtain down, then a handful of people ran through the bathroom - it had two entrances. There was some sort of emergency; they were in so much of a hurry that they did not notice that B and I were engaged.
It was close to the end of the world - buildings were going up in flames, the sky was an eerie dark mustard color, and very few people were still alive.
My dad, Melissa, and I were all that was left of our family. We took two puppies and went to the community disaster center at the church. I decided that we needed to claim a sunday school room before they all get filled up.
I walked down the hallway and checked out each one, but the only one available was at the end of the hallway across from the surprisingly full nursery. I didn’t want that room because, being at the end farthest from the main section of the church, felt too exposed. Instead, I figured I could snag the nursery when the people come to pick up their kids.
We piled all of our bags and food and other possessions in the foyer of the church. Melissa and I sat down on top of our clothes and coddled the two puppies who were being very obedient and not running away.
We watched alien prisoners of the enemy aliens file into the church for safety. They were refugees, and were steel gray in color. The enemy aliens bomb the end of the church and a large fire erupts - I was then very glad I chose to not take the empty room on the end of the hallway.
Melissa, Damon, Bridger, and I managed to get out of the church and ran to a cabin back in the woods a ways. We felt very safe, but we had no supplies and needed milk. I mentioned that I had milk in my refrigerator back at my apartment. I told the group that I didn’t know how long the power had been off, but the door hadn’t been opened since so it should still be pretty cool inside. I continued that if the milk was bad, I had some powdered milk under the counter that just needs mixed with water.
We were then crawling down the shoulder of a wide dirt road. There were a lot of abandoned cars parked along the edge, and we crawled behind them. As aliens marched up and down the center of the road, we prayed that they would remain oblivious to us.

I was in a large room filled with unorganized shoes. I had to find shoes that fit all of the girls who worked on the ship - if they worked shoeless, the master would be upset.
I hurried to find shoes for everyone, but it was difficult to find pairs that matched, let alone those that fit. The girl I was currently helping needed something in 10. All around me were black and red shoes that didn’t fit. I finally grabbed some black and white lace-up pumps that fit her perfectly.

I lived with my father on an active submarine. He was a short, skinny scientist. The submarine was his personal one, and as a consequence we were the only people on board.
I went to my room to prepare for bed and an intruder barged in with intentions to kidnap me. I escaped out a small portal on the other side of the room and slid down a huge, curvy slide towards my father’s laboratory.
My father loved me very much, and was very protective of me. As I slid down the slide, with the intruder close behind, laser beams shot from the walls and hit the would-be kidnapper. I was proud that my father had set up the laser system in case someone wanted to harm me.

The office decided to move a bunch of people around to make more room for new staff members. Two of the current staff members traded desks, one of which belonged now to an old classmate, Sailin. All of the other items in the office had been removed, and the two people sat at their desks looking quite bored. I knew that they didn’t do any work all day, and the desk switch only made it obvious.
I went out their door and into the middle of a large party/carnival taking place in the street. People hung out of the windows across the street tossing confetti (that building was so extremely tall that I could not see the peoples faces at the top windows).
I and two other friends hugged in a small circle and were going to sing a song for the party. I had written the song to the music of the Tiny Toons theme song, but my friends didn’t know the words. I sang louder, until the very end when I forgot the custom words. I ended up finishing with the real words to the theme song.
I stood in a large warehouse with rows of very tall shelves. Each shelf was piled with raw meat. There were no signs, but I knew that each aisle held a different type of meat: I could easily make out chicken, pork, beef, moose, and deer.
People stood in and on top of the meat moving it around. No one wore gloves, but I did not find this odd or disgusting.
I walked through the aisles and came across Ryan kneeling on the floor with a piece of white bread probably seven feet square. It was the piece in the loaf that is right next to the heel, and one side of it had heel-like qualities. He complained that the bottom was uneven due to this, and he enlisted my help in cutting it off.
My mom stood in the middle of the road facing me. She was quite a distance away, and a light breeze tousled her hair.
Tina stood in middle of the same road facing me. She beckoned me to follow, but I won’t.
