War Dreams.

Last night in dream-land there was a giant war being waged against and unknown enemy, but Duncan rushed into the room I was standing in, fell over and was bleeding. His hair was shaved pretty short, but a big chunk of hair on the top of his head was burned off. He was in charge of something really important too, although I didn't know the specifics. I'm blaming One Hundred Years of Solitude for my war dream.

so i had another matt dream, and he is probably going to be mad at me for having another one of him like this, because apparently according to my ONE dream about him being my mom (haha), im afraid of telling him about stuff or something to protect his innocence. But i think it is safe to say that we have passed that stage in our relationship after our conversation in holland last week. So matt, I love you like a brother I never had, and take this dream with a grain of salt, please:

last night I dreamt that I was in this room in a place that felt like minnesota and was with a bunch of girls who i didn't really know, and we were all wearing crazy awesome tshirts that we all bought at salvation army. then i see matt outside the window and i yell to him to come over, and im yelling really loudly and with a lot of force. It felt like the kind of yelling like when you are in a large crowded room and you are trying to talk to people. And I remember giggling to myself afterwards because I was so loud, but I wasn't ashamed, I was happy because I was calling for a friend. And finally Matt opened the door and he was wearing this motorcycle helmet and carrying two stuffed animals. I didn't question the fact that he was wearing a badass helmet and also carrying a stuffed animal. I even said to him, "Matt, I like your stuffed animals". And we chatted for a bit, and I realized that one of his toys was the same dolphin stuffed animal that our dog has.

Everyone was there!

I had an incredibly long OE dream last night and although I don't remember specific quotes and actions from everyone, in the dream I knew that everyone from the OE was there. Hooray!

There were four distinct parts to this dream but none of them really connected. The first part we were all together in a foreign country ridding on an old, brick-red bus. The bus had two levels and most of us were on the top, I think, with the wind in our hair. At one point I climbed up a big stump that was attached to the bus for some reason, and sat on top of it. The stump and the climbing were similar to a stump I've sat on at the Holden boat dock. The bus was cruising down narrow streets lined with tall, orange and yellow clay-like houses and other buildings.

In the second part, we were all at the mall that is closest to my house in Iowa. I'm not sure what we were doing there, but Sam and Andrew had these giant hammocks that they were trying to set up in the middle of this little commons area. Eventually the security guard found us and kicked us out. We were all laughing and talking and started walking somewhere else.

In the third part, it was really snowy outside and we were all bundled up to play in the snow for awhile. Some were building forts and some were just sitting in the snow. I started making a bunch of tiny snowballs really fast and throwing them at people and I had surprisingly good accuracy. I hit Patrick and Chris Esh and Chance in the face with my tiny snow balls--just like, BAM BAM BAM--and then I started running.

In the last part (I actually woke up after the snow part, but fell back asleep and had this dream) we were all hanging out in the laundry room at Holden and this really weird animal was walking around on the floor. It kind of looked like a really big frog, but it's eyes were bigger than quarters and on the front of it's face, instead of the sides. It had snake-skin that was black with orange stripes and it kind of jumped like a frog, but would also walk. We called it a mouse--I don't know why. When it appeared everyone was really afraid of it and I stood on a table with Chance to get away from it. Chance was saying to me, "I told you it had a big head," and "Oh, GOD. OH MY GOD. Look at it's head." It really did have a big head but Chance was freaking out. Then Doug walked in the back door with a bucket and the "mouse" opened it's jaw, insanely wide, and Doug poured something sort of liquid-y and sort of chunky and red into it's mouth. After that, we knew for some reason that we were safe.

I don't remember much of this dream.

I just remember being outside with Chance and Elise and then this other non-OE person was jumping down these stairs with a potato sack on his feet. And then Elise and I were standing in a doorway.
