The friends in me

29 12 2008

Okay, a super quick update about two dreams I had last night.

One of them I remember quite well. I was in a house with my friends (Elkin, Ameena and Peter, and for some odd reason one of my LJ friends was there). We were obviously having some sort of party, as there was music playing (I remember something about the Arctic Monkeys). Anyway, at first we’re pissing around on a computer, designing something on a game (like a persons clothes/etc, like Sims), except the game is a replica of my LJ friend, and all the changes we make happen to him (we give him long hair, and he wears a black leather jacket). Then we were dancing around crazily, and the room fills with water like a fish bowl and we’re all swimming/dancing, until the water goes so we can breath. Lone gets totally drunk, and starts to make out with my LJ friend. They pull away and she’s giggling and he laughs too (he’s also drunk), but then he turns and throws up all over Peter’s back. Peter then goes MENTAL, and Elkin and I help him off with the knitted grey cardigan he’s wearing (which is the thing mostly covered in sick). But Peter is too angry at this point, and continues to stomp around shouting and continues out into the street.
End of dream one!

My next dream starts off in this weird side room thing, that sort of looks like a very, very small hanger of some sort, but is the side of a studio, where I am with a group of friends (whom I’m unable to identify). We’re on some sort of action gameshow thing, all wearing similar outfits. I can’t remember much of what happens, but I think I hurt myself and run off into the side room then up further into the building. Anyway, I come back (the dream morphs) and the studio is now a massive department store. I’m there with my Nan and parents, but at the moment I’m walking through shoes with my Nan, then decide to go and find my parents that are at a sweet stall. I remember the stall being very high, and packed with colourful sweets, the top rows in long plastic tubes. I instantly look for gumballs, but my Mum tells me to get these jelly bean fish. I fill a bag full, and she complains that it’s going to be really expensive.
I leave the store, but the dream has morphed again, and I’m outside with kids (who are my age, but I’m quite young). We’re on a trip or something. I don’t recognise the area we are in. There are gravel paths, a few buildings and lots of trees. Everywhere is damp, it’s been raining, and I think we’re on a cliff near the sea. Anyway, some kids come over to me and this boy with golden long (ish, he has one of those really soft side fringes) and these kids start taunting the boy saying he looks like Kenny from South Park (a WTF moment…). Next thing is, I’m sort of away from this area and with a girl who looks a bit stroppy. She’s new and I have to take her home, so we get on this bus/truck thing, but the body is made from a bag, and it smells like a rubbish truck. Ameena and Harith are with me. There are other kids, so it’s like a school bus. Anyway, we start driving through streets, and go along one that is boardered by lots of grass, and Ameena and Harith get off.
I don’t remember much after that.

WEIRD DREAMS!

I’ve got to go for a bath soon… Except two things are stopping me. 1) I’m online and on wordpress about to post pieces of a dream I had last night and 2) I can’t choose what bath stuff to use tonight. Because you know, nearly everyone gave me bath stuff over my birthday/christmas. It’s like they were trying to tell me something!

Anyway, without further a delay…

I don’t remember all of my dream last night, only bits.

A lot of it seemed to stress me out, which is sort of reflecting how I feel. I was stressing about work (mostly waking up in time for workwork) and uni work, like, not completing it in time etc. This was shown through various parts. One was worrying about being on time to graduation where I was in a car with my friend Lauren, where I was failing to put on a Mauve graduation cap, but eventually got it on right (it’s not that hard in real life, but for some odd reason in my dream it had a flap). I remember the location well, it was on the road above the park, we were in a car (back seats) but it was a sunny day.

The other part of my dream I remember, is waking up for something (I think work) and worrying about getting ready in time. So I start to do my makeup. But I put the foundation on my legs, making them look smooth and toned (colour wise, that is). THAT was strange.

Guh. So much for epic romantic dream win! Damn.





Forget me not

27 12 2008

Don’t you hate it when you wake up and forget a dream that you were having? I know for sure it was one of those epic ones that really feel like they’ve gone on for ages. I’m so tired today because of it!

I miss my epic dreams that seemed to come every night. But recently I’ve been a bit brain dead, and have gone to bed feeling exhausted. I need a good old fashioned toe-warming dream that keeps me day dreaming about it all day and makes me smile when I wake up. THAT won’t happen in a while!

Hm. You know what I really want now? A day out with my friends that won’t phail like it did on my birthday (evening). Or maybe a day thing… around my house? That would epic… Shame that I’ve really gotta start my uni work :(





Firebird

Her skin felt like it was on fire. If she pressed her eyes open long enough past the dry burn, she could almost see her skin flare a bright crimson, see the flame lapse freely up her arms, caressing her throat until the heat exploded from her cheeks in a brilliant wave of sunset red. She blinked her eyes, but they felt like bouncy balls in hollow cups. She swallowed, but mere air squeezed past dry walls. She was the Sahara. Dry and deserted.

Well, it’s how this “flu” is making me feel! Damn it! lol

I feel the need to escape away from myself for a few days. With an endless supply of steaming hot tea and Breaking Dawn, which after my long wait, I am finally reading and making good progress through. But I won’t even get the chance to breath. All this week will be spent Christmas shopping or hours in the library taking frantic notes for an essay that I still don’t quite get, then the next week will be work, work, work, my birthday, work, christmas, boxing day, god knows. I’m working new years day, and the next day is my parents traditional “trip to Blue Water” for the new year sales. Welcome to the real world Suz. Sucks doesn’t it? Yes, it does, but I guess I wasn’t expecting it to hit me so soon. You think you have all the time in the world.

The moments I get to myself now are sleep, which feels like it doesn’t come often enough, or full enough. I never feel revitalised when I wake. I still feel haggard. Sort of disappointed as well.

I have the book in my bag. I can sense it waiting expectantly. I should be working. Really. But I’m procrastinating. As usual.





A Nights Tale

12 12 2008

HOW COLD WAS IT LAST NIGHT?! Like seriously, I kept waking up shivering violently! It was horrible. I have a 15 tog duvet and a thick fleece throw and my bed is by the radiator (which probably wasn’t on due to the price of gas, but that’s beside the point), and I was still cold. It was one of those situations where my face got so cold that the rest of me was cold. I tired to hide under the duvet but I find it suffocating I just ended up having a fight with it. I did sleep eventually, which is the point of this post… ANOTHER DREAM!

It was so EPIC. It almost reflects one that I have had before, but I never got round to posting about. It was set in a castle, very medieval. Anyway, this was just like it, but followed like some sort of adventure. There were other people with me and I’m pretty sure they were an assortment of my friends, but they didn’t really play a major part so they just “existed”.

Okay so it was set in a castle type place. It was in a square, and we were walking down some stone steps to what looked like a ledge around the large square space, like window ledges (but wider, and yeah), as there were large windows around the square. Yeah. Anyway, um, there was something to do with gum balls at this point. Pink and yellow ones. I tried to eat a yellow one but it tasted nasty. Yeah. I think after that, someone stops me, as now there is DANGERRRR. There are like knights, with swords or bows and arrows slotted randomly along this ledge. So I get given this belt thing with a sword holder (I don’t know what they are called – but this one was massive and proper thick black leather with decorative skulls on it) attached to it, but for some strange reason it’s a samurai sword. So I fight off the first knight (they’re like zombie knights. Or just characters you come across in games that try to slow you down, you know?) and then I proceed to duck behind a pillar to dodge flying arrows. At this point I now have a proper sword. Yay. Like a big phat heavy one. I manage to pass the knight with arrows and enter one of the windows. I can’t remember what happens after that. It seems so short but it was so epic!! lol





In a world we must defend!

11 12 2008

Two things, awwww to the pretty little snowflakes falling on the home screen, and whoa, major referb much?! Looks all technical. And the thing is, I’m still just as clueless as I was when I first created this thing!

Good news! I have returned with a proper dream I can sort of remember!

The start is still a bit flakey (see what I did there?) but the stuff towards the end is firmer. From what I can remember I’m walking along a dark country lane. The pathway is muddy, bumpy (like street bumps but smaller and more frequent). The only thing striking about this road (aside from it being eerie in colours – dark greens and greys) it’s very closed in, like a race rack from a game. Which is ironic, as it starts to feel like a game, and I’m the character running through it (no Lara Croft references this time though :P ). To my left, there comes a break in the straight road and I can exit to a seperate area. This is where my memory fails me a bit. It’s still ‘decorated’ similar to the road, except it’s very farm yard-ish, with a barn you can’t enter, but lots of boxes. I can’t remember what happens here, but the dream seems to shift suddenly, and I am holding a contraption that holds a lot of cards. The cards are (don’t laugh) Pokemon cards, the contraption is sorta like a Pokedex I suppose. Anyway, I am obviously now some sort of a Pokemon trainer, and the thing I’m holding is my dreams replacement for Pokeballs. Now that I think of it, it’s like Yu Gi Oh meets Pokemon, lol. Nerd. Anyway! Someone challenges me and throws down five pokemon cards of his choice for the battle and I chose mine. I only remember one, which it isn’t actually an existing pokemon in the real world but some sort of robot human thing. Anyway, I chose it, but it starts to rain, and the battle is called off. I’m now somehow in my road, and I pull up the hood of my raincoat, (whilst putting away my pokemon thing) and comment on how it was lucky I brought the raincoat, and proceed to walk down my road. I’m sure something happened after that, but I forget.

Yay for dreams I can remember! It’s been too long :P
