dreamland

I think I slept the best night’s sleep last night than I have in probably months. I didn’t even need Tylenol PM and crashed around 11, also a recent record of an early bedtime. I also didn’t wake up until my alarm went off at 8:30 am, so I guess I really neded it. Of course, perfect sleep didn’t come without consequence, as I had some fairly weird dreams.

I didn’t remember them until I saw a business card that’s on my desk. The business card is from someone I met at a label. In one of my dreams, there was a previous coworker who I ran into at a label showcase and he didn’t believe I knew the person who invited me, whose card is on my desk. I don’t even remember the showcase, just standing outside saying that I was invited. Though I talk to both the label person and my former coworker regularly, I don’t often think of them enough for them to pop up in my dreams.

Another part of my dream was probably prompted by an email I received yesterday regarding the race from someone who confuses the hell out of me who I unfortunately really don’t consider a friend anymore. His brother and mother were also in my dream, which was the odd part, in addition to his appearance. Though I talk to his brother fairly often, he’s never appeared in my dreams before. His mother was missing and wasn’t answering her cell so we are were in this town trying to find her, but mostly in and out of dark pubs. It wasn’t like a panicked search, more like hide and seek. Random.

And the last dream I was painting a mural on a castle wall and every time I leaned down to get more paint, what I had just painted disappeared and I kept getting frustrated. I wanted to give up, but was determined to not let the paint disappear by being quick about refilling my paint. I didn’t have a paint pallet, and the way the paint was positioned, I couldn’t not look away from the mural.

Weird. Though my sleep was restful, my mind certainly wasn’t at peace!

Dreamland

Set my alarm for 6:30, slept through my alarm and woke up at 9:15 and now im late for work… I think I’m finally caught up on sleep though!

I dreamt that I was in Disney World and was late meeting in the park because I kept finding surprise amenities in the bathroom, like gum. I’ve never been to Disney World so maybe they do offer gum in the bathroom.

When I woke up the DW dream reminded me of my upcoming vacation. I haven’t taken off work for fun in about a year and a half. I’ve also only taken three sick days in the past two years, too much trouble and catching up so plugging through and nursing myself at my desk has been the better choice.

I was saving up and allocating days because I thought I was going to be going to LA (for fun, not work) in July or August but I doubt that will happen and is just another lost idea. So any ideas where and when I should decompress??

dream on dream on as i may…

Last night I had some pretty vivid dreams and kept waking up throughout the night. Usually I don’t look up my dreams since they’re perpetually weird as hell.

The three I remember:

*I was on a small plane with two of my friends (I won’t name…) and some guy who seemed to be in charge and was asking us about the behavior of the waitress. We were about to land at LGA and we were looking down at the city and we plummeted to the ground. I woke up screaming when we hit the ground.

* I killed a guy (no one I know) by throwing many many many apples at his face.

* I was at a music festival and there were a few stages, and crowds of people waiting for the show, but apparently it already ended and the stages were empty though no one was leaving. I kept going from stage to stage and each one was emplty and clear of all musicians and staging. Everytime I left one empty stage, I found another and the crowds kept getting bigger. The crowds freaked me out so I left and my alarm went off.

I looked up a few key words just to see what *they* say it means:

Plane Crash
To dream that a plane crashes, suggests that you have set overly high and unrealistic goals for yourself. Your goals may be too high and are impossible to realize. You are in danger of having it come crashing down. Alternatively, your lack of confidence, self-defeating attitude and self-doubt toward the goals you have set for yourself is represented by the crashing airplane; you do not believe in your ability to attain those goals. Loss of power and uncertainty in achieving your goals are also signified.

City
To see a city in your dream, signifies a sense of community and your social environment. If you dream of a big city, then it suggests that you need to develop closer ties and relationships. You are feeling alienated and alone.

Apples
To see rotten or eaten apples in your dream, indicates that whatever you are striving and aiming for may not be fulfilling, and even harmful to you. It may also represent neglect and carelessness.

Murder
To dream that you have committed a murder, indicates that you are putting an end to an old habit and your former ways of thinking. This could also mean an end to an addiction. Alternatively, you may have some repressed aggression or rage at yourself or at others.

Crowds
To see an unruly crowd in your dream, signifies that the worries and problems around you are pressing in on you. You will are greatly distressed.

Empty
To dream of emptiness, suggests that there is something missing or lacking in your life. It symbolizes fruitless labor, an emotional void, or loneliness. There is nothing to show for all the effort that you have dedicated to a project or relationship. In particular, to dream that a container is empty, then it represents optimism.
