This report comprises dreams from waking up on Tuesday, June 21, 2011 until waking up on Tuesday, June 28, 2011.
Went to bed 12:30am on Tuesday, June 21, 2011
Woke up 7:05am
1. Overcast sky in the morning. Helping people move. We make a stop at Assiniboine Park/Bird's Hill Park/some remote nature spot. There is some tension in the group when some of the movers leave garbage--furnace filters--behind at the park. Then we are fixing up the edging around a house (i don't recall what part of the house the edging refers to), and are swiping dirt off the edges of concrete blocks. I am talking to someone about one of my real life uncles retiring. He realizes he could still make money but chooses not to. The dirt is dry and easy to move.
2. Also set in the morning. I am living in an apartment in the same house (not a real life place) as one of the members of my real life band; one other band member might live there sometimes too.
(This next part may be connected to this same dream)
One of my real life aunts (the one married to uncle from the first dream in real life) is on crutches an entering a building with wheelchair doors but she uses a door handle. People come in before her but don't help her. She says she's OK, and seems to like it.
3. (This dream might be the same as the moving one, my notes tell me i wasn't sure when i woke up)
There are lots of boxes, clothes. We have a train of people, and a few children as well. All the people, or some of them (maybe only the kids?) are from the camp i used to work at in real life. There is something about camp in the dream. There is a long, dry, rocky path.
8:13am
1. Someone who is kind of me and kind of not is running away. Either i or someone chasing me has a homemade gun. There is a scene reminiscent of the movie "Predator." I am on the ground in the bushes being stalked. A couple, man and woman, is talking (possibly they were being hunted?) and he asks her not to natter. I tell him he's being rude.
Went to bed 12:16am on Wednesday, June 22, 2011
Before going to bed i had a pretty wonderful evening talking to someone.
Couldn't sleep so read "The Bourne Identity" until 1am, wanted to read longer but decided to go to bed after using the bathroom and then going to bed at 1:04am
5:47am (possibly 5:17am...my notes are messy)
1. I am waiting for a bus. It might be Christmas Eve or Boxing Day. I am possibly waiting somewhere near St. Mary's Road and/or Pembina Highway or maybe a place that doesn't exist in real life. I am getting a ride with a guy from work and someone else (i couldn't remember when i made my notes) in a small, fast, red convertible. The guy from work says we'll need to all chip in for gas. Either i then got out because i didn't want to ride or pay, or the guy from work said if we didn't want to chip in we should get out because we didn't want to ride or pay. (If i recall this dream correctly--although it is a week later--it was a bright, clear, sunny summer day.)
2. I am at a rave in a roller rink. There are lots of lights. Someone, or various people, have waterguns full of glow-in-the-dark chocolate paint that shoots hearts that fall from overhead after fired into the air. (My notes aren't clear on this next part. They read, i think: "I took MOMA." I believe that means Museum of Modern Art. But i don't know what it means that i TOOK it.) Heart rate up for a short while in the dream and, i think, real life.
3. Walking (towards my home, possibly?) around Portage Avenue and Arlington. There is something about a choice to vote. A friend/mentor from the church i grew up in is either running for the Liberal party, or votes for the Liberal party, or is campaigning for them. There is also the choice of an NDP candidate and one or two others. A woman drops off a bunch of cards with me after she did lots of canvassing. She says, "Here, you know lots of people, you can get people to donate." She was about to toss them in a garbage bin in an alley behind Klinic (a real life place close to Portage and Arlington). The sky is overcast, but kind of nice out. It is summertime.
In at least one dream, if not all, i was discussing a relationship i had. I may have discussed it in one dream with a couchsurfer.
8:40am
1. Shopping in a thrift store.
Went to bed 1:33am on Thursday, June 23, 2011
Played soccer earlier; was tired when i went to bed
Woke up only once at night, when a person was shouting/singing in the park (intoxicated, was my guess). Got up and looked out the front window to see what was going on, but all was well. Was hard to get out of bed, so tired.
Woke up at 8:45am with my alarm clock. Initially remembered no dreams. Sat on the edge of my bed for about five minutes stretching and just sitting, and suddenly dreams started coming back to me--that's never happened before. (Except once where i didn't remember the dream until a day and half or more later.)
1. I am at a party. A real life friend's real life chinchilla is running around but the people who live there aren't worried.
2. Some kind of motto that has two parts. Someone may have been impressed by it.
3. I am explaining to an individual i used to do support work with how to catch a bus home from Polo Park.
4. In a big van with some big guy. (I don't recall if either of us was driving, there may have been no driver.) It is a bright, sunny day. The car gets out of control, we end up tilted over in a farmer's field, but OK.
Went to bed 1:30am on Friday, June 24, 2011
Before going to bed read "The Bourne Identity" after talking to two guys from the house i live in who came down after i was making a racket (breaking hard bread with a hammer on the counter) and they checked to see if i was OK and we had fun hanging out and drinking weird mixed drinks i made. Earlier in the evening i had band practice and talked to friends and family on the phone. I was tired but happy when i went to sleep. On my break at work had gone to check on some music stuff.
7:59am
1. Bands practicing, possibly in the basement of my real life house. One of the bands had members from my real life band. There were new ways to play instruments.
2. Something that called to mind "Wizard of Oz"; i couldn't look at a man behind the screen.
3. Some dusty, old town. A friend/mentor from the church i grew up in are hanging out, playing music. Tom Waits comes by and i hang out with him. I try to be nonchalant about the fact that i'm hanging out with fucking TOM WAITS. Waits is very cool, friendly, not bothered by anything. As he's leaving, he sees what i initially take to be a "crazy bum" and Waits hangs out with this tramp. He is not amused by but UNDERSTANDS the bum's "craziness." The sun is setting on a beautiful summer's day in an area that is kind of like Old Market Square in Winnipeg and kind of like Central Park in New York City and kind of like Winnipeg's North End...possibly like other places too...like Sesame Street... There is a bridge/overpass that we are under, and the area under the bridge leads towards the park. It is an urban setting. I snuggle into bed on the street with a young woman. We don't know each other, or not well, but are very comfortable falling asleep. My face is almost buried in her shoulder/face (and i think i actually woke up having a bit of a difficult time breathing since my face was right into my pillow).
Went to bed at 12:42am on Saturday, June 25, 2011
Felt exhausted when i went to bed, fairly happy. Earlier in the evening i had band practice after the volunteer meeting for Folk Fest. After practice i went out with friends to Johnny G's where we talked about dubstep and making movies about people's families.
1. I was talking to someone (possibly an American couchsurfer) about a real life friend's real life consideration to purposely not have romantic relationships with anyone (no dating).
2. There is snow in June or July in a hilly, treed, mountainous area. This situation is kind of a bummer. I talk to someone else (possibly from New York) about the weather there. Either they, or i say, "Yeah, when it gets too cold i wore leg warmers in my apartment. It's cozy, but _______" (i forgot the last part of what they said when i woke up).
3. I am in my parents' basement looking for some kind of VCR cord. There are lots of old Nintendos (regular and SNES) and various video and computer cords and machines in the big, wooden cabinet/shelf that used to be in a room in their basement in real life. I found some cords i thought might work. I also find old clothes that are kind of organized. Looking at old clothes that were from approximately the era when i was in grade 11 until my first year in university in real life. Some or all of the clothing items never actually existed, for example a red sweater with no hood. There is something almost like a Winnipeg Transit shirt i had in real life but with other kinds of shoulder decals. The dream was kind of fun. There may have been some kind of Winnie the Pooh shirt.
4. I am hanging out with two friends from work (or, at least one, my notes show i wasn't sure), possibly at a hotel while we're on vacation somewhere. We're all teasing each other about sex. Very dark lighting in the dream.
Went to bed at 3:14am on Sunday, June 26, 2011
Earlier in the day went to a housewarming after getting high. Had fun at the party, drank strawberry daiquiris and had fun (almost missed meeting my friend on the way there while each of us was walking around two bridges trying to find the other). Then later had "X-Files" night (which comes around every few months) with two friends and drank more and got high some more and ate lots of food. Between these two events saw my friend and her friend coming back from an art parade. Earlier in the day mowed the lawn and vacuumed.
No dreams recalled.
Went to bed at 12:02am on Monday, June 27, 2011
Earlier in the day a friend came over for a visit, we went shopping together for my event in the evening, then i went to pick up stuff for volunteering at Folk Fest. In the evening had people come over to watch movies on the lawn and drink strawberry daiquiris. Pretty good day, but something or someone was missing. Tired. Still tired. Too much doing, i think. More rest, less people, perhaps.
7:54am
1. I was in my Post Colonial India class (a course i took a few years ago in real life) which was a combination of high school and university. The teacher was different than the real life PCI class. Earlier in the dream, i was walking through the halls, and then was being chased by bullies after "owning" them. I had hooked fish hooks in their lips and reeled them in, then hooked the line onto a heavy cooler, hoisted it into the air (all the while it was attached to their lips). The dream started off dark outside, then was a bit dark inside, but eventually got lighter. I was given a test in the PCI class, but i couldn't answer any questions. I tried sneaking a look at my notes but that didn't help. The teacher was melancholy about her life passing by. Students were talking to her (students from my real life high school). The teacher may have been a real life high school teacher. The student were kind of teasing her, kind of sympathetic. I'm looking in a textbook for something about India's new national anthem.
Went to bed at 12:58am
In the evening i made perogies, watched an episode of "Buffy", went to my friend from work's place to jam, read an email about pastries from a family member and answered it.
7:58am
1. I took some shrooms that i got from someone at work and as they were starting to take effect i was in the shower. I was trying to urinate into the toilet with the shower curtain wrapper around me so people passing by the door wouldn't see me. When i was in the shower with the hot water coming down i started feeling like it was hard to breathe, like i was suffocating. Then i told myself to relax and breathe slowly and i felt way better.
2. I was trying to get a discount on Neil Young tickets after the concert had started. The concert was at the Centennial Concert Hall (where i got to go last year as a gift to see him in real life). Possibly in the same dream, i was waiting for or getting off of a bus at Vimy Ridge Park at night in summertime.
9am with my alarm clock
(A super-involved dream.)
A couple in their 30s (? i think) were having a fun time together and are planning to have a dinner party and invite an older guy to come. While they're fooling around they decide to break into his wine cellar--he lives in a stone cottage/mansion, a beautiful old place out in the country. As they break into the basement, making lots of noise, they worry he will hear them, but he is on the phone and possibly hard of hearing. He doesn't hear them, but they fall asleep in the basement, and he comes down later to get a bottle of wine and as he passes them they watch him, really worried they will be discovered. Once he's passed them, they jump, barely (if at all) clothed and make a run for it. He chases after them in his vehicle as they run for the woods on the left of which is a small river. It's a beautiful, bright summer day. He gets in his fancier sports car and pushes over their floppy, tall, old vehicle--it's almost like their car is made of flimsy paper/cardboard. He sets his dog after the couple and calls the police (or maybe his personal security?). Running from the house to the woods it's suddenly from my perspective. As i get close to the trees i climb them, almost flying up, as his dog chases me, and eventually trees me when i can't jump to any nearby trees and then the alarm clock in real life sounded.
I almost invariably wake up with a recollection of a story that took place in my mind while i slept. I believe dreams are my mind processing my experience. While not necessarily rational or conscious, they are a process of my brain, the tool which enables me to be rational and conscious when i am awake. What separates waking consciousness and reason from the dream process isn't clear.

Monday, June 20, 2011 at 11:02pm
This post has dreams from Tuesday, June 14 up to Monday, June 20 (meaning i went to bed on the 13th and woke up the morning of the 14th and went to bed on the 19th and woke up on the 20th, and the dreams happened between sleeping and waking...maybe obvious)
Tuesday, June 14
to bed at 12:58am
Before going to bed watched "It's Complicated"; had an evening of contemplation, some good sadness and some good food
7am
The only dream i had for this night that was recalled on waking was one where i was in a big vehicle (like a Jimmy) and there was lots of lightning, lots of lights. There was a clear sky on a summer nights. (I don't remember the dream and my notes were sparse.)
Woke up at 7am with my alarm (instead of going to my regular job i went to a 3-day business course this week, Tuesday-Thursday)
Wednesday, June 15
Went to bed at 2:40am
Before going to bed i had been at a birthday party/fundraising social. It was fun, i drank club soda and some sickly-sweet cranberry juice. It was at a karaoke bar and i wanted to sing a Tom Jones song but when i arrived someone was butchering "It's not Unusual" and i changed my mind to do a Wilson Pickett song but there were a bijillion people ahead of me so i just went home (caught a bus around 1:30am, got home shortly after 2am).
5:53am
1. This dream was about doing mushrooms. I was in the basement of my grandparents' house. (I don't remember this dream and here are the rest of the notes i have): either Jacob or i have them, i do mom knows "my green necklace!"
2. Hanging out with someone from work and someone may have been flirtatious.
3. I go to the airport with a friend from a previous job to meet two guys there. I'm told, "They'll give you a ride to the concert."
7:20am
1. (This was the dream just before waking up. All that i recalled--and while typing now i still remember--was the line from a song being played, possibly repeated over and over): "Every word you say i think i should write it down." (The line is from a song by Josh Radin and Schuyler Fisk called "Paperweight".)
2. I'm at the Limelight (where the party and social was held in real life) and someone from work thinks i am sweaty. I (or they?) sniff me but i don't smell sweaty.
3. I am at a Bob Dylan concert (possibly in a gymnasium?). He is playing a tiny guitar. I go with someone from a student group i'm part of in real life and possibly one of my siblings. Dylan invites my friend from the school group up onstage. Dylan has a broken string and is looking for a new guitar. (My notes are a little messy...the next word is "lyrics" and the notes appear to read, "Looking for new guitar. lyrics." but guitar might be an adjective for lyrics.) I go to a public bathroom and apparently there is something sexy about it (i don't recall and my notes only say, "Sort of sexy.") I can't close the stall door, and someone reaches across from my door (i don't really know what my notes mean...was the wall between my stall and the next one not there?) and the person who reached across asks, "Sorry, can i just grab?" but they were pretending. (I didn't make a note if they wanted to grab toilet paper, the door handle or my member.)
Thursday, June 16 (i wrote down in my notes that this was the day the notes were for, but then the notes i had about what i did the night before were actually for THIS night...so, i messed something up but all the other notes fit chronologically around this one).
Went to bed at 11:52pm
I was not too tired, a little bit, but not 100%. I felt like a i needed sleep, mentally and physically. I had a good time chatting with two friends on the steps of the house in the late evening and earlier had long somewhat tiring but engaging conversations with other people.
I didn't write down the time when i woke up and took notes for the dreams; i think that was because i took notes when i woke up with my alarm, but still, i feel like i should've written that down.
1. Business dreams. (In my notes, beside those words, i wrote, "taxes? exemptions?)
2. Kept walking through an old building to use the bathroom.
3. Vampires?
Friday, June 17 (morning i woke up after dreaming)
Went to bed the night before at 11:37pm.
7:30am(ish)
1. Discussing erotic dancing with someone i used to work with and other people.
2. (Here are my notes exactly as i wrote them): "Customer stealing my store (store i work at or own?)."
8:30am (with alarm)
1. I was canoeing and was concerned about crocodiles in the water. I was at a lake and then at the old poetry journal i worked at in real life and there was water in our office. The canoe was tipping and my boss from the journal was talking about an ex-poet friend who had died and i was told i wouldn't understand them.
2. A friend from high school and i were working on a song our real life band wants to cover and i had been working on in real life before going to bed. Both my friend and i were singing in the dream.
Saturday, June 18
Went to bed sometime between 4am and 4:30am (i though, but the time on the clock when i woke up in the morning was way off) after band practice and hanging out and playing music and watching Youtube videos after getting high. Maybe slept 4 hours at a friend's house then came home and slept almost another 2 hours. Didn't write down any dreams and didn't remember any.
Sunday, June 19
Went to bed at 1:51am. I had a good day and it was time to sleep! Hung out with a friend in the afternoon, then with another friend for a short while, then went shopping then made food for a dinner party then had fun at the dinner party, then made a small fruit platter and went to another party for about half an hour then came home.
8:30am
1. I was making a salad for a party last night (but in real life i made curry and a fruit platter) and something about singing songs.
2. (The notes for the first part of this dream are unclear):
backyard, cars, getting into cars, looking up, a family trip, calmer summer weather, dog sliding down back steps happily
(Then my notes say that this next part might have been the same dream, but maybe not).
I was watching a video (possibly about the end of the world) in a class taught by one of my real life University of Winnipeg professors. I was cuddled up someone (i don't think i knew them in the dream). Something about the Golden Gate Bridge. Somehow in the dream was a line from Leonard Cohen's song "The Future": "Loves the only engine of survival."
11:24am
1. I was cleaning out a toilet bowl, and pulling out my keys that had fallen in. After i pulled them out, i reached back in an found more keys (mine, i think, just off the main key ring, but on other key rings), and then more, and then more. And then i was pulling out sink chains (those balls chains used to hold plugs for sinks and bathtubs) and then i was pulling out sink chains with lots of long hair all around them, and then a long ponytail that was wrapped in some sort of net or cloth. A friend i used to work with in real life is there and says it belongs to her and then calls out, "Look! _____'s here!" referring to someone else we both worked with in real life. We are watching some movie and then going to some event. It is a bright day outside (possibly springtime and there may still have been snow on the ground).
(Now, the dream either had another part or this next part was from a different dream.)
The other friend from my previous real life job says he has a name for "the person" who makes food whenever he to people's houses, rather than using the name of the actual person who made it because it is too hard to always get the right name. People ask my friend why?
Monday, June 20
I went to bed last night at 1:19am, high, after watching "the Social Network" earlier (before i got high) and then having a friend come over and we smoked up and went to Moses Mayes at the Jazz Festival and then came home to find an unexpected and bothersome Facebook event which was easily remedied by going to bed.
1. Something about fishing and catching a huge marlin, with a picture in the tv den. (This dream may have been lifted from a few lines in "The Social Network" about exactly that, fishing, big catches, and pictures in tv dens.)

This dream blog is for Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning.
Saturday, June 11
Went to bed around 4:30am after a full night. Our band played as the opening act for an evening dedicated to local artist who was putting out an album. Our show and the night went well and people seemed to have a great time. After the show some awful things happened connected to the event and people i knew (though not directly involving me). After the awful parts i got to hang out with friends an eat a sub and saw a guy do a backflip in Subway and then talked about farting and genital warts. I went to bed late and woke up early to go meet someone involved with the events of the night before and see how they were doing. I woke up with my alarm around 7:30am
No dreams recorded or remembered.

Went to bed around 4:30am again! After spending the day helping some friends move, i went to a housewarming for some other friends. I got lots of sun and exercise and food during the day, and had a great time hanging out with people all day and ended the evening with friends, Irish whiskey, and accidentally eating some broken glass that fell into a chocolate cake (i didn't swallow the glass). A wonderful day and night and was TIRED when i fell asleep.
10:50am
1. I was at Folk Fest, and it was a bit of an overcast day--it may have rained earlier in the dream. While workshops were going on throughout the day at Folk Fest, everyone at the festival who had some kind of special pass was asked to come line up outside a taped off area for a special show.
Woke up at 10:50am without an alarm and stayed up for the day. Woke up a few times, or half woke up, during the night with some pain in my left side. I worried it was glass and went back to bed so i wouldn't think about it. When i woke up fully, i figured it was actually either the whiskey or tight muscles from working my body so hard since Friday night. Either way, cramps were gone when i actually woke up.

Went to bed last night at 1:16am
I had a good day, mostly. I was tired and felt like i needed a full day of rest after my full weekend. Spent the morning doing laundry and shopping, the afternoon rollerblading and hanging out with friends at a birthday party at Assiniboine Park, the evening with family at dinner, and the night with friends at a movie ("The Hangover II").
8:20am (10 minutes before the alarm, sheesh)
1. (This was the dream i had before waking up.) I was watching one of the games of the Stanley Cup finals. It was, as it is currently, Boston vs. Vancouver. The score was tied, 2-2. There was only one minute left in the game. Boston scored and everyone assumed the game was over, but both teams kept going hard, and then Vancouver scored with only a few seconds left. Then the goalie in net for Vancouver (i think) got hurt (i think he had a broken vertebrae). The goalie is taken to the hospital and while being wheeled...something something i can't make out in my notes...Peter (Peter who? I have no idea). I am the goalie. There was only some slight discomfort in my back and i thought i would be OK.
2. At the party in Assiniboine Park from the afternoon. I tell people that if we are going to stay for a few days i can go and pick up the supplies we'll need.
Woke up feeling pretty good but sleepy.

Went to bed around 4:30am after a full night. Our band played as the opening act for an evening dedicated to local artist who was putting out an album. Our show and the night went well and people seemed to have a great time. After the show some awful things happened connected to the event and people i knew (though not directly involving me). After the awful parts i got to hang out with friends an eat a sub and saw a guy do a backflip in Subway and then talked about farting and genital warts. I went to bed late and woke up early to go meet someone involved with the events of the night before and see how they were doing. I woke up with my alarm around 7:30am
No dreams recorded or remembered.

Friday, June 10, 2011 at 8:30am
To bed at 11:50pm. Before bed the evening consisted of: band practice, reading a few chapters of "The Karamazov Brothers" and then suddenly feeling very tired while reading, about to conk out, but once in bed had a hard time falling asleep. Feeling a bit constrained with time, money, and social obligations (re: Friday evening).
4:02am (approx. woke up a few minutes before but didn't look at the time)
Woke up really sweaty. Using too many blankets. Feeling very awake, not really tired. No dreams recalled. Back to bed at 4:25am, but took a while, at least 20 minutes, to fall asleep. Heart beating a bit fast, mind not quite galloping, but trotting.
7:11am
1. Setting and mood forgotten. I was talking with other people (possibly our real life band?) about playing "nicer" music, when one member of our real life band said, "Christian Slater might be upset." Which meant, "Slater is badass. Don't be a bunch of sissy unless you want to disappoint him." Lighting, i think, was a bit darker.
2. I was looking through a Lego magazine with someone, and then i was watching a Lego video, and then i was looking at a Lego model in front of me. There was a varied terrain set up, with a pool of water like a lake on one side of a prison door that had no walls except for the shore of the lake. By the prison door was a wizard, and a bunch of animals were on the other side. Then the model came to life. The wizard somehow lured half of the animals through the prison door and into the lake where they were amalgamated into a super monster. Then, he started trying to lure in the second half of the animals, also now including myself--although i forget if i was myself or an animal--and while we were being lured in, there was superimposed over this dream the image of me peeling potatoes. The dream had a bit of a worried feeling, but not that bad for the fact of being forced into the super monster where my own individuality or self would be swallowed up and forgotten. Lighting was like a cloudy but fairly bright afternoon. I think the dream took place partially in one of my childhood bedrooms.
3. I was at a family dinner with lots of different family friends, specifically family friends who knew each other from the church i grew up in. One father and son (not my dad and i) were having an increasingly heated conversation. The son was talking about going on a trip and the father was angry that he was planning to leave. The dad was upset because his other two children had so many troubles in their lives and he was afraid of his son loosing his stability and then needing to be extraordinarily concerned about all his children. His son he was arguing with saw his dad and trying to curtail his freedom. They kept getting ruder and more angry with each other. I kept looking over at them where they were sitting beside each other at a different table from me. Then the son got up from the table and asked i wanted to go downstairs and hang out in his room. I went down to meet him, but i don't think he arrived. Then there were other people downstairs, possibly some other kind of gathering, possibly a church-type gathering. People were waiting to use the bathroom. I had not expected anyone else to be down there, and i was laying on the floor without any clothes writing (in almost the exact same position i write my dream logs) while i was under a shower (but not in the bathroom), so i and the paper i was writing on were getting wet. Then a group of girls came to use the bathroom, saw it was locked, and saw me without any clothes, and they were disgusted. One of them walked over with a hand-held dust broom and started sweeping my hair or neck or back or all of them a few times. It felt good. Then, somehow the dream changed again and i was at some kind of outdoor festival (sort of like Folk Fest, but not exactly, maybe Folk Fest combined with a children's festival?) carrying plate or two and some cutlery. I came to a cordoned-off area and asked if i could get through to use the bathroom. I want to wash the dishes and cutlery. The gate person said, "Either you want to use the bathroom or you're sneaking in." They let me in. I got to the bathroom, which was a row of wooden-slat outhouses that were painted a fading turquoise that were connected, but there was no running water and i couldn't wash the dishes, and once inside i thought that i should've left the dishes and cutlery outside the door because people would be grossed out why i took food implements into a bodily-waste-disposal area. In the bathroom, instead of having toilets, there were crude holes in the ground. Also, they weren't individual stalls, but one long, corridor. It was dirty in the corridor. A guy comes in through the door beside mine and strikes up a conversation while he goes to the bathroom and i'm still trying to figure out what to do about the plates and using the hole in the ground. It was sunny out but a little difficult to see.
8am (set my alarm earlier so i had time to get things ready for this evening)
1. A friend of mine was talking about being sick or having a disability. He said, "It's a wonder i haven't started drinking." Meaning, he's trying not to get wasted to avoid dealing with the sickness or disability.

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 9:11am
To bed at 12:48am
Contemplative, thinking lots, hard time falling asleep. Took over 1/2 hour to fall asleep (this is unusual). Felt like getting up and doing something but wanted to sleep. Played soccer at 9pm, came home, did some baking, read for a bit, watched a part of a movie.
6:35am
1. A friend had just acquired two bookshelves and a side table for me. I was excited for the bookshelves and kind of ambivalent about the end table. Lighting was dimmer. We were in some kind of building...apartment/office building.
2. I was at work talking to people about different toys, telling them silicone is the best, most hygienic material for toys, but we only had two toys made out of silicone left.
3. I was going to work for the first day (i think it was the first day?) at a new job in a mall (bigger than Polo Park, i think). The new job was at a clothing manufacturer or sewing shop. At least one friend from my real life job was working there. I had to go take off my hoodie and maybe other clothes to get ready and change into work clothes. I was a bit nervous about the new job. We would be working at a counter at the front of the store, and then the clothes stretched far back behind the counter on long racks.
4. (This dream may have been in a continuum with the last one.) I was watching a movie in my parents' basement with a friend from my real life job (different person than last dream) and a family member. I was on the right of the person from work, and i leaned against their feet and my family member was to their left, and i used a pillow (or possibly pillows?) to cover their feet. We were all sitting in the corner of the basement on a couch that fit in the corner (couch was not straight but at a 90 degree angle...my parents' had a couch like that in the basement).
5. This was the dream before waking. I was at a talent show and the next performer was a dancer from Kazahkstan. He was kind of boring-looking, with a frumpy suit and old glasses. Maybe in his late thirties. He was wearing a head covering. I was moving stuff off the stage to give him room for his routine.
7:42am
1. I was more in a removed observer, narrator position in this dream. The setting was in the Jim Crow laws segregated southern USA. The 1st student with dark skin was coming to the school, and was escorted by a police officer. Their was a huge crowd of onlookers, some of whom were taunting the student, and maybe throwing things at her. Then, a man in a military uniform, a big, barrel-chested man, with dark skin struck one of the people assaulting the student and asked, "How does it feel?" The person he struck replied, "Not good." So the man in uniform said, "OK, let's all have a meeting about being cool," and then spread his arms wide and waved them about a bit. Then, the scene shifted to men in suits nearby watching everything from a limousine or some kind of CIA vehicle, and were starting to get out. They may have included Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. One of them asked, "What is it with these people and stepping stones?" (Stepping stones meant "getting ahead".)
2. I was in a huge school/castle and the master (sort of like Dracula) told those of us around him that he wanted all the doors locked and then he was going to either show us something or enjoy an activity after he said, "There's nothing like ____ intersex" (possibly meaning eating someone). As me and someone from my real life band went around locking doors, a feeling of fear was growing. I was going down empty hall ways and staircases and would sometimes see the other person locking doors, or see people walking around. In a lower level of the building, which was like a mall, were two middle-aged women without shirts flirting with a middle-aged biker guy with tattoos and a leather vest, sunglasses and a skullcap. He was saying how he used to be a rock and roll performer. Then someone who looked like a friend of mine was in a staircase that i was rushing down after trying to lock a door that someone on the other side was trying to open. The person i thought i knew was sitting at the bottom of the stairs and i was sliding under the stairs to hide. The person i thought i knew was not wearing a shirt. They introduced themselves but was not who i thought it was.
Woke at 8:30am with my alarm.

Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 9:15am
To bed at 12:33am
Feeling good, laughing after watching the first story in the movie "Paris Je t'aime." A bit...lonely?
Woke up a few times during the night but went back to bed without writing anything down. May have had dreams about being in charge of something, or something about responsibility.
8:30am
1. I was working at the store i work at in real life. I think it was close to the end of a shift. Night time. Another employee had just acquired a stereo for a cheap price. There were lots of the hooks for hanging products on the walls that are in real life and i had to be careful not to get caught on any of them. A guy from high school who i worked with for a short time a few years back (not at the store) is in the back of the store and looks kind of down. I take off my shoes which are falling apart in the dream (as well as in real life). The person from high school is working at the store and is 45 minutes early for their shift. He is possibly fixing something. He looks down. I ask him what he is doing for Christmas (it is mid December in the dream). I ask him if he has a family gathering in southern Manitoba (i remember in the dream i thought for a bit about how to word it when i asked him what he was doing for the holiday). He tells me he has a family gathering in Winnipeg with his extended family who are Nazis.
Then my alarm went off.
Woke up feeling pretty good.

Tuesday, June 7, 2011 started writing at 10:18pm, finished at 12:05am)
This post encompasses dreams from Sunday, May 29, 2011 up to Tuesday, June 7, 2011.
As a result of not recording the dreams the day they occurred, most of these dreams will be posted as not much more than the notes i took during the night.
SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2011
(went to bed the night before at 1:50am, not in a good mood but not terrible; felt like a bit of a wasted day)
2:38am
Sleepy...sort of real life...Relationships? How real? Mom and dad judging something.
4:33am
How to build an atomic bomb
7:07am
1. I was living in a place that was a combination of my apartment and my parents' house. Looking out their front windows (which looks out onto the yard and street) and out of one of my bedroom windows (which looks onto the next house) i saw it was raining so much (or possibly flooding so much) that the water on the ground was more than a few feet high. On looking out again, not long after, the water was at the edge of the windowsill. I was running around the house, possibly with other people (family members?), worried and trying to figure out what to do and how to help and how to make sure the water couldn't get into the house. Just as water started seeping in quickly through the bottom of the windowpane i started shoving towels and other cloths (blankets maybe?) around the edge of the window. A somewhat high-anxiety dream. Sky outside overcast and dark lighting in the dream.
2. The setting was a bright afternoon at a lake combined with close to the south side of the Osborne bridge. There were lots of rocky outcrops, and people were jumping off into the lake/Assiniboine River. The event was either a wedding social or some sort of pre-wedding gathering for a couple whose wedding social i attending about a month back. One member of the couple almost fell while hanging out near the edge of a rocky area.
3. (This dream happened just before the next one. According to my notes, its not clear if the dreams blended into one another or were two separate dreams.)
A family member and i are watching a horror movie and there is a scene with lots of spiders. Then there is one huge spider. (typing this dream up right now i recall wooden slat walls and a red-brick fireplace and chimney). Then the spiders are real, and we're no longer watching a movie. The spiders now want to lay their zombie eggs. There is a bright, overcast afternoon sky. Sky is auburn-white.
4. (This may have been the dream i had just before waking up.)
Zombie Apocalypse. The sky is overcast and whitish-grey. Boy and Girl used to be together. She is a zombie. He is not a zombie. He goes somewhere near her house (she may have been a daughter of the millionaires). They talk, but she's ready to eat him. She kisses his hand but then bites his finger--not that hard though, and he frees his hand. Although he had brought a gun along, he then grabs a shovel away from her and uses it to cut off her head. But, she remains "alive"..."partially"... They talk about what they'd do if they were human, and then begin having anal sex.
8:15am
Nothing remembered. (This was the note i made when i woke up.)
10:34am
Nothing recorded.
11:32am
Nothing recorded
MONDAY, MAY 30, 2011
(went to bed the night before at 1:19am. A little sick-ish. Some soreness. Didn't rest enough this weekend. Had a good night laughing and eating with friends.)
8:30am
1. Dreamt about pouring/drizzling soup onto salad.
2. Dreamt about Muppets.
3. I was working with an adult with developmental disabilities that i used to work with in real life. I was talking to one of their family members about working with them. (Then, here are the rest of my notes for the dream, exactly as i wrote them down.) ; taking pills; projectile vomiting then, an insect is born...either kill it (?) or let it live w/ medical help but it will have 2 heads.
TUESDAY, MAY 31, 2011
(went to bed the night before at 11:30pm. A little sick-ish. Had some good talking this night. Not sure what i want. Don't want to go to work tomorrow because i want to rest, not because of any particular job.)
3:23am
1. (This was the dream before waking up. What i typed here are almost exactly the notes i wrote.)
Break and enter. Keys, no alarm. Looks like grandma and grandpa's basement. Keys... dog barking. Lock door? write note? get out!...wake up
2. A friend comes over to visit me. I'm at mom and dad's house, or is it my place? How old am i? My friend doesn't recognize me, asking, "How do i know you?"
3. Something about mountain climbing? Bright? Snow?
4. I am working at the home of two adults with developmental disabilities i used to support in real life and one other person. The house is one i worked at with the two individuals i know in real life, but it looks different in the dream; it looks like it's from the 1970s. (The first two, in real life, had a third housemate, but in the dream it wasn't clear if the third individual was someone that housemate.) There are at least four other staff in the dream. One staff is super relaxed, but totally aware (at a different house i worked at in real life, there was one staff who was like this). Lots of hot food is in the oven. I want to eat. I ask casually, "Should we put the food out now or later?" Other people say, "Later." The manager walks by (?) talking about one of the individuals needing to go to a meeting at the company's head office. The individual needs a staff to go with them. I say i will go with the other individual (so, i am going with the two individuals i know in real life). The relaxed staff says it is good i am going with both individuals. All three individuals are male (for sure the two i know in real life, very probably the third individual as well), the staff are all male, the manager might be female, and the manager might have been the real life manager at a different house than the two individuals i know from real life.
5:55am (possibly 5:33am or 5:35am or 5:53am...my notes are a bit messy)
1. (This is the dream i had before waking up.)
I got two sappy moving out cards from a family members. One (or both?) said (or gave the impression of saying?), "You can rely on me."
2. Everyone from my grade at my real life high school is in my backyard for a (high school?) graduation party.
3. (The second half of the notes for this dream make no sense to me. I will write them exactly when that part comes...)
I am at my parents' place in their backyard, and there are lots of dogs there. Patches, our family dog who was put down a few years ago comes. Everyone is nervous she will escape in the commons. (The commons? What does that mean? So, that's where my notes start not making sense to me...and here is more, exactly as the notes read.) Johnny Cash shoveled there. Toy called a cat's...trick people into thinking you're sick.
4. Kermit, winter, River Heights.
7:20am
(Typing this dream now i remember the second half fairly well, barely the first part.)
1. The lighting is dark. I'm at my parents' place and a family gathering is going on. In the dream i'm dating somebody who had been eating a lot of curry recently in the dream, but still eats it when it is offered at my parents'. The person i'm dating doesn't like it when i always tell her how i like her or flirt with her. There are also two younger aboriginal sisters, one of whom is very young, a cute kid, who is sitting in a rocking chair. I think the family gathering is a Christmas one. Almost everyone is in the dining room, some people are walking around. Suddenly i'm lying in the living room, and i have a girlfriend or fiancée who is from a part of the world i can't identify (in the dream i wasn't thinking about it, but when i woke up and wrote my notes and now when i try to correctly place ethnic heritage i have no idea) but is somewhere in the Near/Middle East (i think). She reads to me from a book, different books all the time, since i am paralyzed in the hospital (or the living room floor?). She loves me even though i'm paralyzed. "I read something from you today." (I think she said that.) "New or old?" (I think she said that, maybe i did.) Then she said something else which i couldn't remember when i woke up.
2. Parents' basement. Looking for a hanger.
8:30am wake up for the day. Stiff, want to sleep more. Fairly good mood.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 2011
(went to bed the night before at 12:50am after jamming with a friend, after seeing the movie "Jane Eyre" at the cinema; in a contemplative mood, not so tired)
6:09am
No notes
7:13am
I am closing the store i work at in real life. Either someone wants to buy, or for some reason i'm looking for a visor, but the store doesn't have one. But in the dream we stocked white and neon yellow costumes in the back for mannequins. The store doesn't seem to have any of the items people want. When i return (after doing...?) a customer had accidentally wiped off the staff white board.
THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 2011
(went to bed the night before at 1:40am; feeling a good feeling; feeling homesick but not for a place)
8:30am (woke up by my alarm for the day)
1. Something about cheaper prices? Getting something on sale. Sunny, summer dream.
FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 2011
(to bed 12:40am, after coming home from a friend's concert and going for a walk down Osborne. Feeling fairly good, confused, uncertain)
7:38am
1. Something about music and the friend i saw perform in real life last night (they were playing? or i was jamming with them?) I'm wearing a green, Walking Time Bomb shirt with holes in it. I'm getting ready to leave someone's house. I pack up a cardboard box and tie it shut. I look for the pants and sweater i wore in real life last night when i went out.
2. I'm on a vacation somewhere, staying in a hotel/cabin/beach house. My room is connected to others, they're not separate cabins. My bathroom has a window that looks out onto a beach. It's later afternoon, still sunny, but about to become the evening. There are palm trees outside. A group of three-four middle-aged women are in the room next door, and somehow see me through an irregularly-placed window in my bathroom where i'm showering. Then, there is a narrator shot of the resort from the side opposite the side facing the beach, pulling away slowly from the resort. The sky is now a bit overcast, it is windy, and maybe about to rain. Palm trees are swaying.
3. I'm traveling in a huge city with gigantic skyscrapers. In the dream it may have been Toronto or Los Angeles or a combination. It's a bright sunny, late afternoon. I think people are coming home from work. Rush hour. Streets packed with cars.
8:30am wake up for the day with my alarm, feeling stiff, and sleepy.
SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 2011
(went to bed around 4am--maybe later or earlier--at a friend's house after going out and then coming back and watching the first two episodes of "30 Rock". A good night. Feeling good.)
Wake up around 10am? Feeling good
1. I'm working at a store on Osborne which is a store like Brave New World (the actual store in Winnipeg, not the book) but sort of combined with the store i actually work at. There are lots of "exotic", "eastern-inspired" clothes hanging all over the store. I see a customer come in, a bigger, heavy-set man, maybe in his 30s, with a backpack. As i start walking towards him from the back of the store to say, "Hi," i see him take a movie from a bin near the front of the store and put it in his back, right pocket. I then think, "I will calmly go and talk to him and not let him know i am aware he's trying to steal and i will get between him and the door." Then, doing the opposite of what i just thought, i holler, "SHOPLIFTER!" He replies, "Oh, sorry, i have to go now," very politely, but with wide eyes, and bolts out of the store as i dash after him. I open the door and point at the run away shoplifter hollering loudly, "SHOPLIFTER! SHOPLIFTER!" and a passing pedestrian tries to grab him but he gets away and runs across the street into another store. The pedestrian apologizes for being unable to stop them and i say it's OK it's not their fault and keep screaming my head off in the doorway to our store, "SHOPLIFTER! MOTHER FUCKING SHOPLIFTER! GOD DAMN SHOPLIFTER!!!" Then i go out with some friends, and when i return to the store i remember i didn't lock it, or turn off the lights, or lock up the till. I am talking with my friends about what are the qualities of a good boss and one of my friend says, '"They'll always remember the Empire." (They may have used some other powerful term like that...Dominion, Kingdom, Castle...In the dream, the Empire is a fancy and expensive restaurant. In the dream, "They'll always remember the Empire," meant, "No matter what a boss does that is bad, they can always make up for it by taking employees to the Empire. People will forgive anything for a night at that place.)
SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011
(to bed at 1:46am; tired, stiff feet; a bit of an "unknown"--ie. not sure what to do, what's going on--attitude; had fun today; happy to be myself)
8:05am
1. (These are basically my notes, no idea what they mean.) Someone and photos. Zoom in. Not hungry, just not going to bathroom much.
2. (This felt like it was a very significant dream.) I was at a family gathering for my family and someone else's family and we were there as a couple. People from both families were kind to both of us, but with a bit of a gentle nervousness about how to act. Someone from my family asked, "How was that Catholic thing?" and someone from the other person's family asked, "How are you?" in Low German. The same person who talked to me in Low German asked a question about breaking glasses à la a story i was told years ago about someone who was trying to slice a bun and when the knife broke the crust it hit a drinking glass and cleanly sliced off the top of the glass with no broken glass.
3. Dream about going to jail.
4. (My notes suggest this is a different dream than dream 3, but it seems like they could've been the same dream.) I am being interrogated by two men after being imprisoned. There are three other people there, one of whom is on my real life soccer team. We are all being water tortured, and verbally abused, but there is not much if any physical abuse (i know water torture is physical abuse), but the captors are very threatening. I didn't quite understand why i am in jail, but it has to do with two different people i had relationships with in real life. I get out of jail (i don't know how, i think the dream just shifted) and it is nighttime in summer, on either Maryland or Sherbrooke Street and traffic is going both ways (although in real life these streets are one way streets, beside one another). I see a car being driven backwards. I also see a tank. I was arguing with the interrogators.
10:30am wake up with my alarm dream-thinking to myself "This is the perfect time with alarm to wake up" but feeling like i still really needed to sleep.
MONDAY, JUNE 6, 2011
(to bed 12:17am; feeling emotionally harder, re: I watched the movie "Appaloosa" before bed; what to do? want day off work)
7:25am
1. I'm at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, walking from the campground parking lot down a path into the campground. In the bushes are lots of old blueberries, raspberries and pieces of honeydew melon that have been thrown there and are rotting. Someone i dated a long time ago is there (suddenly in like a sports locker room with a team in there, but it is still outside at Folk Fest) and they are talking about having a miscarriage with a baby boy, and had been planning to name him. She later talked about it (in the dream) at some public place like Sunday School, or school? soccer?
2. An elderly family member is sitting outside alone, tired. Snow is falling and a sibling of that elderly family member and i are talking about them. It is a bit of a sad dream.
3. Riding a bus to the Forks.
8:30am wake up for the day with alarm; stiff, sore (right side of neck, left foot); want to sleep; tried to recall dreams but they all flew away
TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 2011
(to bed 1:28am; feeling pretty good; a bit antagonistic; had band practice earlier, then went back to work where i got a haircut; bought a pizza after and walked home and ate pizza while walking; watched an episode of "Buffy" before bed)
7:23am (woke up a bit earlier and rolled around in bed but didn't look at clock)
1. (Don't remember this at all although it was this morning. Here are my notes.) Work? Cake? Getting somewhere on time? Two people (someone from work and their child). Arriving somewhere? House?
2. (This was the dream i had before waking up.) Looking at photos on Facebook. I am looking at someone's photo album that has pictures of a disparate group of people. (Disparate such that in real life i wouldn't see any of them, or very unlikely, and almost none of them know each other--as far as i know.) There are people from the camp i worked at, from both universities i went to, from conferences i attended as a teenager. They are all artists now (in the dream). The pictures are of all of them on the Assiniboine River (or nearby? on a beach?) playing guitar, maybe having a bonfire (?). Something about moving; a house is being gutted, or was gutted, to be one big room. Some of the pictures are summer pictures. Sunny, blue skies.
8:30am wake up with alarm
1. Picking a movie with others to watch out on the lawn at my house. People are leaning towards wanting to watch "Zoolander" but we watched it last time. (Which is actually true, that is the movie we watched last time on the lawn.)
As a result of not recording the dreams the day they occurred, most of these dreams will be posted as not much more than the notes i took during the night.
SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2011
(went to bed the night before at 1:50am, not in a good mood but not terrible; felt like a bit of a wasted day)
2:38am
Sleepy...sort of real life...Relationships? How real? Mom and dad judging something.
4:33am
How to build an atomic bomb
7:07am
1. I was living in a place that was a combination of my apartment and my parents' house. Looking out their front windows (which looks out onto the yard and street) and out of one of my bedroom windows (which looks onto the next house) i saw it was raining so much (or possibly flooding so much) that the water on the ground was more than a few feet high. On looking out again, not long after, the water was at the edge of the windowsill. I was running around the house, possibly with other people (family members?), worried and trying to figure out what to do and how to help and how to make sure the water couldn't get into the house. Just as water started seeping in quickly through the bottom of the windowpane i started shoving towels and other cloths (blankets maybe?) around the edge of the window. A somewhat high-anxiety dream. Sky outside overcast and dark lighting in the dream.
2. The setting was a bright afternoon at a lake combined with close to the south side of the Osborne bridge. There were lots of rocky outcrops, and people were jumping off into the lake/Assiniboine River. The event was either a wedding social or some sort of pre-wedding gathering for a couple whose wedding social i attending about a month back. One member of the couple almost fell while hanging out near the edge of a rocky area.
3. (This dream happened just before the next one. According to my notes, its not clear if the dreams blended into one another or were two separate dreams.)
A family member and i are watching a horror movie and there is a scene with lots of spiders. Then there is one huge spider. (typing this dream up right now i recall wooden slat walls and a red-brick fireplace and chimney). Then the spiders are real, and we're no longer watching a movie. The spiders now want to lay their zombie eggs. There is a bright, overcast afternoon sky. Sky is auburn-white.
4. (This may have been the dream i had just before waking up.)
Zombie Apocalypse. The sky is overcast and whitish-grey. Boy and Girl used to be together. She is a zombie. He is not a zombie. He goes somewhere near her house (she may have been a daughter of the millionaires). They talk, but she's ready to eat him. She kisses his hand but then bites his finger--not that hard though, and he frees his hand. Although he had brought a gun along, he then grabs a shovel away from her and uses it to cut off her head. But, she remains "alive"..."partially"... They talk about what they'd do if they were human, and then begin having anal sex.
8:15am
Nothing remembered. (This was the note i made when i woke up.)
10:34am
Nothing recorded.
11:32am
Nothing recorded
MONDAY, MAY 30, 2011
(went to bed the night before at 1:19am. A little sick-ish. Some soreness. Didn't rest enough this weekend. Had a good night laughing and eating with friends.)
8:30am
1. Dreamt about pouring/drizzling soup onto salad.
2. Dreamt about Muppets.
3. I was working with an adult with developmental disabilities that i used to work with in real life. I was talking to one of their family members about working with them. (Then, here are the rest of my notes for the dream, exactly as i wrote them down.) ; taking pills; projectile vomiting then, an insect is born...either kill it (?) or let it live w/ medical help but it will have 2 heads.
TUESDAY, MAY 31, 2011
(went to bed the night before at 11:30pm. A little sick-ish. Had some good talking this night. Not sure what i want. Don't want to go to work tomorrow because i want to rest, not because of any particular job.)
3:23am
1. (This was the dream before waking up. What i typed here are almost exactly the notes i wrote.)
Break and enter. Keys, no alarm. Looks like grandma and grandpa's basement. Keys... dog barking. Lock door? write note? get out!...wake up
2. A friend comes over to visit me. I'm at mom and dad's house, or is it my place? How old am i? My friend doesn't recognize me, asking, "How do i know you?"
3. Something about mountain climbing? Bright? Snow?
4. I am working at the home of two adults with developmental disabilities i used to support in real life and one other person. The house is one i worked at with the two individuals i know in real life, but it looks different in the dream; it looks like it's from the 1970s. (The first two, in real life, had a third housemate, but in the dream it wasn't clear if the third individual was someone that housemate.) There are at least four other staff in the dream. One staff is super relaxed, but totally aware (at a different house i worked at in real life, there was one staff who was like this). Lots of hot food is in the oven. I want to eat. I ask casually, "Should we put the food out now or later?" Other people say, "Later." The manager walks by (?) talking about one of the individuals needing to go to a meeting at the company's head office. The individual needs a staff to go with them. I say i will go with the other individual (so, i am going with the two individuals i know in real life). The relaxed staff says it is good i am going with both individuals. All three individuals are male (for sure the two i know in real life, very probably the third individual as well), the staff are all male, the manager might be female, and the manager might have been the real life manager at a different house than the two individuals i know from real life.
5:55am (possibly 5:33am or 5:35am or 5:53am...my notes are a bit messy)
1. (This is the dream i had before waking up.)
I got two sappy moving out cards from a family members. One (or both?) said (or gave the impression of saying?), "You can rely on me."
2. Everyone from my grade at my real life high school is in my backyard for a (high school?) graduation party.
3. (The second half of the notes for this dream make no sense to me. I will write them exactly when that part comes...)
I am at my parents' place in their backyard, and there are lots of dogs there. Patches, our family dog who was put down a few years ago comes. Everyone is nervous she will escape in the commons.
