dream, Tue 13/10/09

Just before waking up, I had a dream that I was awake, in my bed. In the darkness, I felt my cat jump on my bed, and snuggle up next to me. Eventually, he crawled under my quilt. It was odd because I didn't hear him open my door (which he can do).

Before that, I was raking up a garden that had these weird white lettuces that weren't healthy. The garden was submerged in water and apparently these lettuces were some sort of disease in the garden. I was scared when I saw ivy as I didn't want to come across snakes that might have been hiding in it.

dream, Sun 28/6/09

I was lying on a bed next to my brother and telling him about how the maths I did at high school was more useful for people wanting to be engineers, and that the maths he did was much more practical. T was sitting at a desk, and when I asked him for confirmation, he nodded that I was correct.

* * *

Was angry and decided to storm off because T snored and stole too much bedclothes. I accidentally posted on Twitter from his iPhone about something very literary (might have had something to do with the Robert Frost lectures I've been listening to) but quickly deleted it as I was scared people would know it was from me and not him.

dream, Sun 21/6/09

(It's funny, I didn't think I remembered my dream today, and then my mother came home and as soon as I saw her, some of it came back to me.)

Mum wanted to take me to the Philippines on a holiday. I said that while I didn't mind going, I hated that I had no freedom and wasn't allowed to go out and roam.

* * *

Myself and my mother were at an old family friend's. Mum was making all sorts of wonderful things in the oven of her friend's whereas our family friend was making greasy, dry things. This family friend lives a few streets away from my Australian parental home and there were a few of us occupying the bedrooms.

Things then moved to a classroom. My old high school. We were in our year 9 classrooms but for some reason had to be moved up to our year 10 ones early. There was much confusion. Lately, this seems to be a recurring dream of mine, where despite having completed a university degree, I'm made to go back and do my final high school year and I somehow know that I'm going to fail all my final exams and am trying to find a way to break it to my parents gently.

dream, Sun 3/5/09

I have completely forgotten Sat 2/5/09's dream. I was too unwell to record it.

Today's dream was very vivid.

I was sitting in a bedroom with a blackboard that refreshed its contents magically: at first it had chord progressions written on it, so I began teaching my brother basic harmony theory. I remember very clearly explaining what chords were best in first inversion, for which chords you could use the seventh, and which were primary and secondary chords.

The board kept refreshing faster than I could write.

Eventually it just began to show basic multiplication questions and one had to answer them quickest. I would wait for the questions but they would always refresh whenever I walked out of the room.

I went somewhere for a high school reunion. TH and BE I barely recognised. TH told me that if I should ever see cute boys with freckles, I should tell them I thought they were cute because it would be brave of me.

Then I was in some weird hybrid shopping centre-underground train station (no, not Melbourne Central!) and a woman was giving away free cupcakes at the end of the day. She slapped my hand as I reached for a bigger one and told me the bigger ones were not free.

Me, RT (who wasn't even at my high school yet alone year level) and SAM drove home from the reunion in a limo. I didn't want to drive but ended up doing so. SAM drove like a maniac and it scared me. We reached Watsonia and passed JPD at the bus stop. Some hoons let off a cloud of fumes deliberately as we drove past because I signalled to them that they were in the wrong lane. The driver called me a bitch as I went past him. My brother drove for a bit and crashed, gently, behind a car at the traffic lights.
