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.)
