My dreams take me to the wierdest places—sometimes good, sometimes bad—but there are some of them I just don't want to forget. So good or bad, they go here. My dreams take me on a journey into the farthest parts of my mind. If I can figure out what they mean, maybe I can understand myself a bit better. You are more than welcome to take this journey with me, but don't judge what you read. Remember, it was just a dream.

That said, a lot of these dreams have at least one part of them that would be great in a story. Some of them would make amazing stories all on their own, so I do get a lot of writing inspiration from these pages. Maybe one day you'll read one of my stories and know exactly which dream inspired it!

Guest Dream! From My Sister

This dream was not mine. It was dreamed by my sister, who told me about it the other day and I had to record it here. I was in it, and it seems to me that it has some meaning to it, so I asked her permission to post it here, and she wrote it out for me. This is in her words, the way she remembered it. =)

I woke up to the smell of smoke. I jumped up and ran to another room where my pregnant sister (Crystal), my baby nephew, and my other two nephews David and Levi were. When I got into the room David and Levi where holding on to Crystal and the baby. They just kept screaming "Mommy!" "Baby!" It was high pitched and made my heart sink.
I pulled David and Levi off of Crystal and the baby, and checked to see if Crystal and the baby were alive but there was no pulse. So I took David and Levi and ran outside. I put them on the side walk and told them to stay there. I ran back inside to the room where Crystal and the baby were. I checked to make sure they were dead. When I realized they weren't breathing and had no pulse I went and got my bearbear and my dog bear and ran outside.
There I meet the boys and a man. He opened up his van and I put the boys and my dog in the van and got in. I remember the man saying something but I don't know what. I remember watching the house go up in flames from the van. The last thing I remember was looking over and holding the boys and telling them everything was gonna be okay.

Foodstuffs

This was extremely short, actually. I was at a gas station, knowing that back home I had my hubby and two of my friends waiting for me. I was sent to get food for us all. I knew what the hubby wanted, and what one of my friends wanted, but on the last friend, I wasn't sure. I could get him anything I wanted to, and it was up to me to decide just what it was that he would want.

I went up and down every aisle, and it was like every food store imaginable had something on those shelves. There was McDonalds, and there was meatballs, and there was pizza... I ended up grabbing Subway though. Like a huge six-foot long sub, divided into smaller foot-long sections. It was interesting carrying THAT up to the check-out counter... I had a little bit of trouble with it, but eventually I managed to balance it all.

And that's it. I didn't even see myself check out, I don't know if I ever really got my friend the food he wanted.

Advice From a Cat

Over the weekend, I was camping out on the Brazos River with my husband, kids, and in-laws. We left out Saturday morning, canoed down the river, found us a nice big sandbar to camp out at, did a little fishing, and Sunday morning packed it all back up, and canoed farther down river to a small park where one of the vehicles had been left. It was a lot of fun. But I had a dream overnight, and although some of it obviously stems from the trip itself, it was interesting.

In the dream, I was camping with my in-laws, just as I was in real life. But we were in some sort of jungle setting, something you might see in Indiana Jones. I had wandered off alone for a bit, and was just then heading back to camp. I found my in-laws and my husband exploring a cave entrance nearby. The cave itself had been sealed off by some sort of boulder, though I knew it to be a door. There was a large tree nearby, with a trunk system that spread out from the ground and put off thick, low-hanging branches. I would have compared it to a willow, except that it had large, waxy, dark green leaves.

I walk up in time to see a large brown cat jump out of the nearby brush and weave through our feet to get to the large tree. My in-laws tried to reach down and pet it, but it dodged their hands without moving any faster than it was already moving. It jumped up onto one of the low-hanging branches that was right in front of us, and laid down. I walked over and surprisingly the cat allowed me to pet it. It rubbed against my hand, and purred.

Then, it started talking to me. She was giving me life lessons, and advice, and teaching me lots of things that I apparently needed to know. But she wouldn't talk to anyone else, nor would she allow anyone else to touch her.

After she was done passing along her wisdom, she turned her head, facing away from us and the cave, watching the pathway towards us. She seemed to give me a sort of warning without looking at me, then jumped up higher into the tree and casually watched below. Next thing we knew, three male lions walk up to us. They had us cornered against the rock wall, and there was nothing we could do. I tried reasoning with them, but they simply growled and stepped closer. Then I woke up. I hope we lived...

Loving a Techie Genius Con Artist

In this dream, the techie man I had been so in love with looked and sounded exactly like Alec Steele, the blacksmith. It was pretty amazing....
