Really Candlelightpiano you had a lot of dreams? that's cool!  8)

I had a dream a few days ago (about 3 days ago maybe) that i was walking around at 5 am and i was walking around some house and you know who's house it was? m1469's house!  ;D and I was thinking oh well probably noone's awake at 5 am but then m1469 came out of the house and she wasn't even surprised I was there and she said I could come in and they were having a party or something cause there were a lot of people there (maybe it was a piano party  :P ) and then I don't really remember much I just know I was sleepy then and m1469 gave me a blanket with cute pictures on it.  :)  :P

And today i was dreaming that I had a piano recital and when i went on the stage and started playing I just couldn't play right and I looked at the "piano" and it wasn't even a piano but it was this little toy that only had like tones that are on the white keys but they weren't really even white keys they were just like little buttons and i was supposed to play Clementi's Sonatina (the one I played for my exam) and i was trying and trying to play it as best as I could and I started from the beginning so many times and also there was some guy on the stage who kept asking me some stupid questions while I was trying to play at least something.... and then after I kind of played the first part of the first movement I stopped and I was really really angry!!!!  >:( I think I was throwing things around and I was like how can they expect us to play like this??!!!

 :P

What funny dreams, Littletune!  Did you see m1469 in the dream, too?  How did her house look like?

Had a strange, detailed dream last night. 

Can't remember how I met this man but I dreamed I was on the phone with him.  I told him I was a contractor, which is really weird as I've never done any such thing in my life.  He said he needed some improvements done to his home and could I visit for an estimate?  He gave me his address and I asked for directions but my husband said we knew how to get there.  It was just down the street, to the left a long winding ways and the house was there.  I said I'd be there in an hour.

So next thing I know, I was walking down this narrow path in the forest and thinking to myself, "Why would anyone want to live in a house where they'd have to walk such a long way to get to it?" Then I remembered that I hadn't brought my estimate sheet, nor my measuring tape. 

I came to a shop and looked for a writing pad and a measuring tape.  There were hundreds of writing pads in the shop but everyone one them had writing in it. So I asked the shopkeeper for some blank ones.  She pulled out a packet with four tablets and told me it would cost me $50!  No way would I pay that amount for four miserable tablets, I told her, and huffed off.  I looked at my watch and realized, to my dismay, that I only had a few minutes left to get to this house. 

And in the next scene, I saw this man seated at the back of a bus.  He was looking left and right, probably for me.  I rolled in on another bus.

Then, I found myself in this man's open top convertible and there were two other guys with me and this man was driving down the path I had been walking on earlier.  This time, there was snow on the mountain side and the last thing I remember was thinking that I was in a rather precarious position, a girl alone in the woods with three strange men!

Thankfully I woke up.

I had a dream that I had a lesson with my piano teacher.  Apparently I wasn't getting something and he got upset. 

So he decided to play it himself.  It was a difficult passage, so I was impressed by his Technique.  But the middle pedal exploded and the whole inside of the piano was leveled an inch higher. 

It was really ugly...

Three connected dreams, two separate nights:

In the first one, I just got into a new college and was settling into our dormitory room with my two roommates. When I took a good look at my class scheduled, I was shocked to see that I had to attend classes very rarely because... I got in MUSIC COLLEGE! and apparently they have very loose schedules to accommodate lots of individual practice (Is this true?). The other girls were nice, and they welcomed me and wowed at my course of study.  ;D

Second dream, same night, I was hanging out with the same girls in my own house. We got DVDs and from their choices/ reactions I could tell we were really the same wavelength. We watched What the Bleep Do We Know!? and some titles I don't remember... All I remember was that I was so happy and I thought it was real, so when I woke up, it was BAM!  :o Back to harsh reality.

The next night, I dreamed that my mom told me to go to the bank in some building. Only, I arrived in the building and found no bank. What I found was those two same girls. So I asked them where the bank is. Upstairs, they said. They wanted to hang out, said we'd return to the bank later. So we went out for what seemed like a while. Or maybe it was because one of them started flirting with me...  :-X

When we came back to the bank, it was already closed... And I don't remember seeing what came next.

I had a hilarious dream two nights ago!

Well.. it was funny to me when I woke up  8)

----------
I looked out my sunroom window on to my back lawn (which was about 100 feet by 100 feet in the dream... not that big in real life).  I see this thing scurrying across it... I'm thinking "what the hell is that?"; it turns out that it's a puppy sitting in a really tiny bucket, on wheels... he was rolling across the lawn haha!  Then the mother [deer] picked it up by the scruff and disappeared into the forest.  Demented, but hilarious to me lol

Awesome dream!

Mine's not as exciting and is more of a nightmare.  However, it seems funny now.

I dreamed I had to play Prokofiev 2nd concerto for a concerto competition...

I practiced the cadenza so much that I completely forgot to practice the rest of the first movement. 

Lol, I couldn't play the first few bars... then I woke up with my heart rate really high O_O!!

I had this dream, where I was in this room, but it had no walls.  And there was this door, and this man knocked and knocked and knocked and I got there as fast as possible, but he was just so much needing to knock and knock!  And I opened the door and looked at his face and it was beautiful!  And he looked as though he really needed a drink of water, so I invited him in and suddenly I had in my hand this delicious water to give to him, but it was not in a cup, it was just only in my hand!  And so I let him drink from my very hand!

He was talking and talking and insistent, like he was excited or so and really just needed to say this thing to somebody, so I calmly said "take a seat" and he did.  In fact, he laid on the couch and so I sat in a chair across the room and I just listened ... and listened and listened.  At first he was silent as though he needed deeply to cry ... it was as though something were welling up from very deep within him and so I opened all of my ear so I could not just listen but empathize.  Finally, he started to tell about this place, this place ... like none other in the whole Universe.  This place, this place, with light and music filling everything!  And he just wanted so badly to be there to be there to be there ... and he kept running as fast as he could, but he couldn't seem to ever get there, or to get towards it fast enough!  And in fact, that is the only place he wanted to be!!!!  And he again was nearly weeping  :'(.

I closed my eyes and breathed deeply for just a moment.  I tilted my head down and breathed again ... everything was silent but it was a palpable silence almost as though time had stopped ... almost as though I could begin to hear and even feel the music of that very place!  I admit, it was as if a siren singing ... but it was not distinct ... not yet ... just whispering ... and so I lifted my head and looked at him, he looked to me with an anticipation towards what I would say ... and I said so softly to him for the welling within my very self ... "sounds like an amazing place, indeed!"  His eyes somehow smiled just so little in that I could know this place in some little way, too.

And that's it!  I woke up!

That was a very interesting dream, m1469.  So detailed it was like a movie.

Last night, I dreamed about the feral cats who visit our backyard.  I saw Song, the beautiful mixed Siamese who used to visit but vanished last April:



There were some others:



Song's mother was there, too.  She vanished along with Song. 

Then, in another scene, our garage door opened up and Bangkok, our cat, raced across the street.  In the next instant, he was back in the garage and I quickly closed it.



In the last scene, one of our neighbors asked me why we hadn't trapped any of the cats and I told her my husband was sick.  She said, "Now we have thirteen generations of cats in our backyard!!"

That is a directive dream for sure, m1469. The unconscious takes a poultice of data from waking life, transforms it and uses it to bring your attention to a beneficial direction you could take. These are good dreams to have, but the best person to interpret them is you, and even then, paradox, pun and absurdity inevitably cloud the puzzle.

Lovely cats Candlelight, especially Bangkok.

I had a remarkable directive dream myself last night. I was wandering in my dream city, a very detailed place I have visited in dreams for decades; I could almost draw a map of it. The day, though sunny, was getting on, and the locale was not the most palatable suburb. Looking across the road, I suddenly saw the spavined figure of one of my schoolmasters from the distant past - one of the better ones, not the ghastly, spectral dinosaurs who infested the waking hours of my youth. I had a momentary inclination to cross and greet him, but I was overwhelmed with the bustle, crowds and traffic. And then like a bolt from the blue, the moral of the dream and its interpretation (I knew I was dreaming) hit me, and I analysed the meaning of the dream while actually experiencing it. This, admittedly, is very unusual. As soon as I realised what the dream was saying and what I must do, the gloom of the place lifted and I began to walk "quietly amid the noise and haste" with uplifted heart.

Wonderful things our brains. I had been wandering, a few days ago, through random locations of google street maps, a highly addictive pastime. Now what the unconscious did was take the data from strongly imprinted recent memory and thrust it at me as a thinly disguised cloak for a major issue whose solution had so far eluded me. Thus the correct course of action blazed before me in a way impossible to forget.

I was sitting in this same room except it was bigger now, and I was sitting at a desk, wearing a gorgeous gown, writing.  It was this quil and ink that I was using.  And suddenly, the room was filled with people, who were for some reason anxiously watching me write.  They listened to every scratch of the quil.  I wrote passionately, sometimes looking up and stopping to take a breath. I could feel every single person in the room, all of their hopes, dreams, needs, desires ... I couldn't help but feel it.  But I wasn't afraid, I simply wrote.  I deeply needed to write.  Finally, after about 30 furious minutes, the crowd silent and staring the entire time, I stood up quickly and extremely confidently.  Nobody could have predicted what came next.  I read my writing so clearly that everybody in the entire room felt what I was reading, they felt it in their entire bodies, in their entire minds, and during that time, we all become one.  We were one, moving idea, with me dictating the next feeling, the next word, the next moment.  And everybody could not help but hang on these moments; they were fascinated, captivated, hypnotized even.  Just breathing in, out, becoming all that I wrote, and even all that I felt.  There was no separation between us and the crowd and I felt compassion, love, empathy, hate, fear, all human emotions, all human ups and downs, all of that together.  And we believed even it was our, and even my very identity.  They believed it because they watched me write it and they needed to believe it.  Even sometimes out of love did we/they believe it.  

I cried a single tear and took that paper, took everything on it, and along with it everything we all felt together in those moments which somehow felt like years, I took all of that and with eyes still peeled and now the crowd having unknowingly risen to their feet, I took that paper and brutally, coldly lit it on fire.  It burned from the bottom, then the flame enveloped the entire thing as I suspended it in the air and we all, every one of us, watched it and even felt it burn away ... until it was gone.  Not even an ash remained.  It was all gone and there was nothing anybody could do.  We all knew it was gone because we all watched it and even felt it burn.  And the crowd stood there with eyes wide, with deep, unbelieving and gasping breath.  I looked out to each person individually, fully, completely looked into their very eyes and their very souls.  We stood just still, staring at each other ... the palpable silence of a new truth upon us.  They began to clap. From their hearts.  As, from then on, each moment was unwritten, each moment was new, as were all of us.  And, we could feel nothing more than this newness, freshness, and even hope.  I moved extremely confidently, from my very core, through that crowd, and each moment I did so, I could feel new places within ourselves being formed.  New feelings, new, new, new ... and so much more to come.  The air we breathed was like fully embracing this freedom.  And there was no turning back.  

Then I woke up!

Wow m1469! You have very unusual and interesting dreams!

Well yesterday I had a very weird dream (I wanted to write about it yesterday already but I ran out of time  :P )... you know what it was? I dreamt I was pregnant!!!  :o  :o  ??? well actually I didn't really dream about being pregnant it was just that all of a sudden people were telling me I was going to give birth and I needed to go to hospital and then I started feeling a weird feeling in my belly and I just believed what other people were saying, I didn't even think: wait! that is not possible I just believed them. So people (just people in general, noone I could say exactly who it was) were saying I needed to go to hospital quickly and I felt like I was going to the hospital to die! So I started saying goodbye to my pets and I felt like crying  :'( then I was in the hospital and there were doctors around expecting me to have a baby I guess  :-\ and then all of a sudden I thought: Wait! That is not even possible!!! It's not possible that I would be pregnant! But it was like noone even listend to me, so I just tried to tell people and i was saying: you don't understand it is NOT possible, it's just not possible, there is just NO WAY! and while I was trying to convince the doctors that it was not possible I felt like I had something in my head, like the thing that I felt first in my belly I started feeling in my head like I had something huge growing in my head, and at first I wasn't even surprised but then I thought wait, how can you give birth from your head anyway.  :-\ and then I don't really remember much anymore... i hope that doesn't mean I have a tumor in my head or something!  :-\

And just a few minutes ago my dog had a dream :) I don't know what the dream was cause I didn't see in her head but she was barking and it sounded kinda like she was crying  :( but just when I wanted to wake her up she woke up by herself and she looked kinda confused, she started looking around and licking her pillow....  :) I hope it wasn't something too scary or sad!!

Omg I'm glad this thread got bumped because I had a pretty weird dream the other day.  This is divided in like two parts.  I was dreaming, then I kinda became conscious again, and I thought it was a pretty awesome dream so I went back to sleep again. 

So...  This is how it is...

There was this zombie apocalypse after Valentina and I had a concert together right?  So we were running away, and we took shelter with a couple other people in a kickass penthouse in downtown Chicago.  Then after a couple months, the town is pretty much destroyed, and one day the zombies get to our penthouse.  So we ran on top of the roof, and now we're surrounded by zombies.  This is what went down.

Val:  I'll make some noise over there to distract them, so you can run away.  *they're blind so they only respond to sound*

Me:  NOOOOOOOOO I won't let you!!!

Val:  no really, it's okay,  I'll do it for you.

Me:   :'( :'(. No...  Please!  I'll do it!

Val:  you've done enough

For some odd reason I turn around and she hits me in the back of the head with something and I'm like all disoriented on the ground.

Val:  I'm sorry...  :-* goodbye.

I'm out cold now.

So later on I wake up, because apparently I survived, and I'm in some building.

Val is sitting at the edge of the building.  *the glass is broken*.  She turns around and notices that I'm awake gives me a candy bar.

Me:  What the freaking heck happened?!?!?!?!?  Where is everyone?! 

Val:  they're all dead. :'(

Me:  why am I fine then?  You freaking hit me in the back of the head you ***!!!

Val:  the crew tried to save you but they're a bunch of losers and died.  Somehow I managed to get us out of there.

Me:  what the freaking heck?!??!?!!? :'( :'( :'(

Val:  ...

Me:  wait, what the heck was that hero act for?!  You think you're sooooooo on!!!

Val:...

Me:  now what?

Val:  I'm bit..

Me:...

Val:...

Me:...  ...  ...  What?! :(

Val:...

Me:...  What the freaking heck are you talking about?!

Val shows me the wound, and I begin to start crying.

Val:  I have to jump soon. 

Me:  please... :'(

Val:  I know, it's pretty salty.

Me:...

Val:...

So we sit there for like half an hour, and now you can see her eyes changing and everything.

Me:  please...   :'( :'( :'(

Val:   :-*. Goodbye.   

Me:  I hate you :'(

Val:  we'll always be together.

Me:  I hate you. :'(

So now Val jumps from the building and she kills herself.

A couple minutes later I'm standing on the edge of the building.


Then I wake up for real







Dude that dream was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!  Like that could've legit been in a freaking movie!!!!!  Now of course some of the stuff is improvised because I don't remember everything that everyone said.  Everything was between me and Val though.  I don't remember the crew saying much at all.  Despite the fact that the dream was awesome, I felt pretty salty though.  I bet this is what playing Appassionata feels like huh?

That dream really was like a movie (just not with a happy ending!)

Well yesterday I was dreaming that I was in a building (I don't know like a school or even a hospital or something in between) and I was walking around and then I went up the stairs and I was with my dog and then I was outside and it looked like they were building something and when I turned around and wanted to go back the stairs were all weird... and I thought well these stairs are really good for going up but not very great for going down! because it looked like some of the stairs were missing and there was sooo much space between them that it looked really scary and I didn't even know how we (my dog and me are going to get down), so I picked up my dog cause it was to dangerous for her (cause she's a really small dog) and I really slowly started going down. And then everything was ok and we were downstairs and in a building again and then I went by a place where a group of people seemed to be in some kind of a workshop or whatever that is and someone was telling them about how they can try to figure out for themselves if they (or someone else) has the potential to learn to fly  ;D so I listened while I was going by and the person was saying that if you or someone else sometimes while they are walking or jumping stays in the air for a little longer than would be normal that's how you know  ;D  ;D so cause I was walking I started noticing that maybe I really do stay in the air for an unusually long time sometimes... so I thought: maybe I really can learn how to fly!! and then I don't remember that much anymore...

And today I was dreaming something about fish in aquariums and I know I was really worried specially about one fish and I don't remember exactly why I think something was wrong like the temperature or something but I'm not sure and then all of a sudden there was my first dog! alive again! And I knew in the dream that he had died but it was like he become alive again and i was thinking wow he was dead (or like frozen or something) for 1 year and a half (even though it is much longer than that since he died), but I just had a number 1 and a half in my head and then (don't know how or why) he just become alive again and he was still sick, he was like in his last days before he died when he couldn't even walk by himself anymore, but i had a feeling like he was getting better and better like it was the reverse of what it was before he died instead of getting more sick and closer to death he was getting healthier and more away from death. And he gave me a kiss again and I was still worried about him but it was soooo nice to have him close to me again. And then I don't remember anymore.

Mine can be obtained in score or CD format; that's not a case of trying to add to a market - merely pointing out a truth - so I trust that it's in order to say so here.

I just had an odd dream that my lawn had turned into a desert.  Just the lawn, the hedges were all still there, although slightly decaying.  I was out on the sidewalk sweeping up the sand to keep it clear.  It was windy and kept blowing the sand back to where I was sweeping.  It was incredibly frustrating.  And then it started snowing.  I'd get the sand away with a sweep in one direction while the snow piled up, and then sweep the other way and the sand would come back.  I think I'm going to be a grump today...

Last night I dreamed that I was in Italy.  It was a small town, similar to the one I actually lived in for 3 weeks last summer, but still different in appearance.  I was walking around, taking as much in as possible, and there were outdoor markets and other kind of markets, and my dog was there!  We were walking around and there were people around, many of which in my dream did speak English.  And, at one point, I went into these fields of gold  ;D, and my dog was there with me and he found other dogs to play with.  We were alone out there, it was separate from any kind of hustle and bustle, and I was walking around taking photos with my phone (realistic!).  I also found a phone!  And a purse :).  

Also in my dream, I could walk one direction and still be in Italy, or even as though I were more in Italy than if I stayed in one place.  But, I could also walk in the opposite direction, just down the street or so, and I could get to Costa Rica!  Costa Rica was interesting in my dream ... it wasn't just about the environment, but about the people, what they were doing, and how they lived.  I walked back to Italy though.  When I was in Italy, I remember being in a dry bathtub, with these special garments wrapped around me, and I could see myself in the mirror, and I was trying to take a photo of me in these garments.  It was difficult.  Not sure at which point I woke up and there were all sorts of details (an extremely detailed dream) that are difficult to explain in order or in the right context.  One of those details is that I found a purse with money and all in it, but there was this other purse laying around, too.  And, another thing is that there was this indoor market that also had a train running through it ... certain doors would open so that this train could come through.  I also had to crawl under a fence, at one point, to fetch this other iphone, that I dropped into somebody's property (surrounded by this chain-linked fence) and thought was mine, until I retrieved it and realized it was not mine.

Overall, it was a dream where I found treasures, I lived in and visited other places and people that felt like home.  I liked it!

 :P - how do you know I didn't get my bum pinched while in Italy?  I didn't.  Which is really quite OK with me.  I really got my lifetime fill of that in the 4th grade, when it was "the thing."  :-

But, I had *enough* (unfulfilled) offers of much more than that while in Vienna to last me for quite awhile.

Re: Tell Me Your Dreams
Reply #170 on: April 05, 2014, 08:34:50 PM
Yesterday I had a really weird and long dream and I remembered I could write it down in this thread  :)

I fell asleep during the day (like in the afternoon) cause I was really tired.

So the first thing I remember was that I was on a playground, hanging with my head down on the monkey bars!   :P (later when I woke up I saw why I was dreaming about hanging with my head down, it was because I really was hanging with my head down from my bed  ;D well not completely but the top of my head was turned towards the floor and it was a little bit over the side of my bed, but the feeling I had really was like I was turned upside down).
So I was just hanging there and thinking that it's pretty cool that I can be like this for such a long time without my head starting to hurt and without all the blood going into my face. I thought it was a pretty cool way to be.  :)

So the next thing I remember is that I saw my teacher (from real life, but I haven't seen him for like 6 years or something and I kinda had a crush on him at that time  :P ). I was happy to see him after such a long time and I hoped he would notice me and come talk to me, but I still kept hanging on the monkey bars. It felt like a really long time and then all of a sudden I was talking to him. (this is going to sound kinda bad but nothing weird happened so don't worry  :P ) He said if I wanted to come home with him cause he was home alone and I said yes ok I have time for about an hour. So I went to his place. I think we were sitting at the table and drinking something at his place (I think I was drinking just water cause I was thrsty - I was really thirsty when I woke up). But then I think someone called him and said if he would go somehwere. So we both went to a place like a theatre but it was also like a shopping center at the same time cause there were stores and all there). So some people were acting there but not on the stage but all over the place. And then they had to describe what they wanted to eat, and while they were describing it I felt pretty sick cause they were all describing food that had meat in it (and I really don't like meat). Then at the end they announced that some people were going to sing. But when they started singing it was really weird because it was like they weren't even hearing each other so they all started singing at different times.

After that it was over and we all started going towards the door, but I still felt pretty sick and like throwing up. And that teacher (who used to be my teacher) was walking beside me and asking me if I was ok. So at that time I imagined what would happen if I fainted (and imagining things in your dream feels exactly the same as the dream, so it was like two things happening at the same time) and I imagined how that teacher would be worried and would try to help me and be nice to me and I kinda liked it  :P but then I thought: wow this is pretty sad that I need attention and people being nice to me so bad. And I didn't really faint  ;D

After that, when we came out of that room (theatre or whatever it was) there was lots of stores and bars and restauratns and I was just standing there and I noticed a pigeon and I thought: how can birds come inside this place (cause it was an inside place) and then I remembered another dream I had about lots of birds being in a shopping center and I thought well I guess they find a way to get in and out of that place or maybe they just live there. And I remembered I had a biscuit in my pocket and I wanted to throw it to that pigeon, but it already flew away (I think I threw a little piece anyway in case the bird came back).

After that some woman wanted to ask me some questions. I only remember one question and it was: What moves you? And I was like: well music of course, and maybe some movies or even theater plays.... oh but it moves me the most when people are nice to each other and specially when they're nice to animals. So then she just smiled and left and I saw I was siting at the bar  ::)  and there was a guy sitting beside me, he just came to sit there from a table just a little to the left where his friends and his wife were sitting. So he just started talking to me... and he was like: Do you know what's sad? (and maybe that had something to do with what I was thinking about that fainting thing, i don't know). So he was talking about some things he thought were sad (I think there were about 3 or four different things, but I only remember one). And what i remember was: he took something like a rolled up paper out of his pocket, I think it was green, and I realized it was probably money. He said: You know what's really sad? Do you see this? It's fake money. I have to use this... (and I thought: wow he is paying things with fake money!  :o ) but he continued: I have to have this in my pocket all the time, so I can show it to my wife and tell her this is all the money I have left, so she doesn't make me spend all the money I have.

Then a woman wanted to talk to me again (I don't think it was the same woman as before, when she was asking me things, but I'm not sure). She was kinda like some sort of a fortune teller or something, but not really. She was somehow able to tell you the real truth about yourself that you didn't even know. (something like that  :P ). She had this thing, like a screen (like a smartphone or iPad or something like that) and she would stand beside you and put her hand on the screen and wait for a while and then a picture would start forming on the screen. So she did that for me and when she saw the picture she got kinda confused and started saying that it wasn't working right and that there had to be something wrong. And I was like: Well what was it? Can I see the picture? You know even if it seems weird, it might be right because I am very weird. But she was like: no no no I'll do it again, and she erased the picture. Then she put her hand on the screen one more time. And this time I saw what the pictue was. It was a picture of me before I was born (in the womb) and then connected to a picture of me now (so like my whole lifetime until now), but then those two pictures were also connected to a picture of an alien baby in a womb connected to an older alien. And it was obvious that all those pictures were me. So the truth was, that I was really an alien at the same time as being a human! So that woman kinda started freaking out and I tried to calm her down and I said: well you know I'm actually not all that surprised about this, I mean I didn't know it, but I am very weird so it kinda makes sense. But don't worry I'm still the same person and I would never do anything bad. But she still seemed nervous about it. And then all of a sudden there were lots of people around us and everyone was looking at me like there was something wrong with me, and then a scary guy came close to me and i saw his face was changing. And I realized he was an alien and he wanted to grab me and take me away. (He was like those goa'ulds from Star Gate and I guess they wanted me cause i was like the Jaffas who have the baby goa'ulds inside them). So I started running. And I felt like it was pretty hopeless cause there were so many of them trying to catch me. Then it was like someone told me to go down the stairs (even though I couldn't see anyone but I just knew someone was there with me helping me). So I ran down the stairs and went outside. Then I got this thought in my head: Well if I'm an alien then I must also have some alien abilities that could help me, so I just knew I could make myself invisible. So I stood really close to this red brick wall and I tried to make myself become a part of the wall. I didn't know if it worked or not, but the aliens already came out of the building too so I was just really hoping that it worked. They were looking where I could be and they didn't see me. So I was really happy about that. BUT cause they were aliens too, they knew all the alien tricks so they knew it was possible for someone to become part of a wall or something. So they started checking the wall. And it was really scarry cause they came really close to were I was and the alien leader (or whatever he would be called) put his hand right on my face. So I was trying to concentrate really hard on being a wall so I wouldn't become visible. And it worked and they were already going away but then there was one of them who noticed some little thing that didn't look right at the bottom of the wall (at the edge where the wall was touching the groung). So he started hitting the wall and calling the others, so I knew I had to run away quickly cause they would brake the wall. So I ran inside again. And inside, beside the staircase there were some kind of thick curtains (or something like that) so I thought: well they know their alien tricks, but they don't know about human tricks. Maybe I should just try a simple human trick for hiding. So I went behind the curtains (actually I had to crawl under them, and behind those curtains there was another cloth (kinda like a curtain) and when I crawled under that, there was even one more cloth (not really like a curtain, but more like some white sheet that was covering the wall). So I crawled under that one too. And then the aliens came in and they didn't find me. So I was really happy about that, but then I crawled from under the first sheet covering the wall, and I looked up and there was some guy, a human, looking at me. And he didn't seem like a friend. And then I woke up. Really fun!  :P

So the most important message of this dream would be:
1. I still didn't get over that crush on my teacher from like first and second grade.  :P
2. I am way too desperate for attention and people being nice to me.   :-[
3. I am really an alien with a human body and if people find out they will freak out and want to get rid of me, and if the aliens find out they'll want to take me away and enslave me or kill me.  :o  ::)
