Dreams

Has anyone had a mutual dream?

I'm certain it's just coincidence and I think I posted about it when it happened but I had a dream where me and a girl from my class were at a party. We had never spoke in real life and I decided to talk to her the next day in class. That weekend we were drinking and she told me that she had had a dream with us at a party the day before I talked to her and it scared the **** out of her when I approached her, and not for the usual reasons, it was because of the dream. We're still pretty good friends. That was pretty weird though.

A couple times. Once, my best friend and I essentially had the same exact dream in which I was stabbed in the stomach and left to die in a park at night. We were used to spooky stuff like that though. The other time, I had dreamed of my sister's ex-boyfriend's dad (what is it with me and dads?) who I hadn't met before, and then I met him by chance the next day, and he had dreamed of me as well.

I actually wonder if this happens more than we realize, but we never find out because obviously most people don't want to admit having dreamed about someone if they don't know them well.

Only one way to find out.

Dreamed that I was in a gilded hotel lobby when a small, hairless black rabbit came out of my stomach. I held it in my hands and tried to cast it away from me, but it leaped back in me in the form of a large and grotesque wingless insect. I realized this thing had been inside of me all my life, and that it had been put there by someone. I tried to remember, but it was blocking my memory. I wanted it out of me because I now recognized that it was the source of all of my anger and sorrow-- anger, especially-- it was a visceral, howling and feral sort of anger that I had somehow kept subdued to a low boil all of my life. I was amazed that I hadn't noticed it before. It was connected to my eyes, somehow; when it leaped back inside of me my eyes blurred for a moment, and it felt like something else was staring through. (It reminded me of a creepy thing my nephew said to me when he was very little once in real life; he had pointed to me and said "there's a rabbit jumping around your head and it makes your eyes turn black.") I desperately wanted it out. Something in my environment-- some recent change, or some person had caused a shift and expelled it for a moment-- it seemed unable to decide whether it wanted to stay in me or finally find another host. A woman I don't know was with me, as well as an old boyfriend of mine, Jose; I kept lashing out in anger and he was trying to keep me calm. The woman was humming "Everytime" by Britney Spears, of all things.

Once I was calmer, I began walking through the lobby past a cafe, and I saw the ugly thing again; it was worming around on the floor, seemingly in search of another (or in search of me). I quickly went outside and crouched down on the patio as I watched a young woman look at it quizically and chirp 'aw, it licked my leg!'-- and then it was gone. It was in her now, I assumed. I still felt its presence though, somehow, and I suspected that that particular thing was just one tiny part of some much larger, horrid thing that I and others were connected to.
Then, I saw a fluffy grey and white tabby kitten walking slowly toward me across the patio; he was wobbly and cute and I kept calling him over until I could pet him, but he passed by me, and it was cold suddenly.

I sure wish I could afford a therapist to analyze all this, especially after the agonizingly, needlessly vivid and graphic dream I had the other day of an older male family member attacking me.

Pretty much. Thank goodness for my horrid memory. (..Yet of course I have no problem remembering various TV commercials from the 90s word-for-word. Priorities!)

Dreamed I had two sisters-- we lived together in a coastal town by a rocky beach, and we had wealthy but mostly absent parents who had us enrolled in an all-girls boarding school (which had actually been my long-term goal). I think we had been kicked out of all of the other ones due to my antics. It was our first day at this new school and instead of attending class I tried to figure out who the most popular girl was so that I could seduce her and watch the chaos unfold. I found her fairly quickly, as she wasn't in class either; she looked a lot like the werewolf girl in the first Ginger Snaps movie. She seemed infatuated with me immediately, so I took her hand, and we traipsed around outside where everyone could see through the windows during class. I did actually genuinely like her, but she was a part of some larger, probably very stupid plan. During lunchtime there was a fair bit of confused shrieking from the other girls, maybe because one of them had been involved with her too. A crowd began to form around us as we walked away from school on a wide, rocky dirt path that went up a hill that you could see the coastline from. I had started flirting with some other girl in the midst of all this, so the other girl told me to go, and I ran far up the path and sat in a tree to sulk.

At some point after this, my sisters and I had grown bored and started robbing stores and climbing up buildings and swimming in the ocean and catching fish with our teeth, which unsettled the vacationing beach-goers a bit, so our parents decided to just confine us to a national park forever and let us run wild. Sometimes we left to attempt to socialize with other, normal people, but it would always end horribly as soon as someone at the party or wherever recognized one of us and said "HEY you ruined my wedding" or "You seduced my sister and made her run off to France in despair" etc etc and then we had to skulk away. As a last resort we began hanging out in a near-empty big Target-like store store; there was an employee there who was always sitting in a too-small chair in the middle of an aisle moaning about how alone he was. I attempted to befriend him, but he was too insufferable. I then decided that we must "go back to the sea"-- which meant trying to live on a teeny tiny island in the national park that was easy enough to swim to-- but we couldn't because they had put up barriers to keep us from doing so. We hadn't "earned our island privileges" yet, they said, because we kept misbehaving. I insisted that it had all just been a big misunderstanding-- that I was a selkie and someone had stolen my skin, and that being confined to a human shell was making me go mad.

At the end of the dream I think there was some MB meetup; it took place outdoors, and I watched everyone arrive while hiding high up in a tree, trying to decide who to attack. (I planned to leap out of the tree and startle everyone) I think only 5 or so people showed up. Can't remember who I decided to attack. I think I chose the tallest person, whoever that was. It didn't work because I'm not very intimidating even when leaping out of trees and shrieking. I think I ended up spraining my ankle or something.

Man, **** single-gender boarding schools. I went to an all boy school, and while I don't know what an all girl school would be like, I know that a lack of women makes men devolve into brutish cavemen on testosterone-overload who fight at the drop of a hat and hate gays while acting surprisingly gay themselves at times (like prison I guess). Whatever cheap stereotypes you have of men are probably all true in a male boarding school. I'm just assuming the same is true for an all girl school.

Dreamed I was visiting my great aunt and uncle at their house in San Diego. Can't really remember anything else.

Hmm I'm not sure if it is; those I've known who went to an all girls school seemed to have liked it well enough and didn't mention any sort of hysteria or savagery. I would have loved it, I think. My overcrowded public school was awful. (And I imagine all girls boarding schools are excellent places to dabble in witchcraft.)

It was also a military boarding school in a town of less than 20,000 people, so we had a pretty big collective case of cabin fever.
