Dream #275 (October 25, 2010)

This is not quite as cool as my previous dream. Actually, its very short and lame. But, it is my birthday today, so there.

I dreamt that I was playing disc golf with many friends. I was in a beautifully green woods, and I had a great time.

On the seventeenth hole, I lost my disc in a bunch of bushes. As I searched for the disc for quite some time, I encouraged my friends to go on ahead of me, so they did.

After searching and searching, I still could not find it. Finally, the owner of the disc golf course, a short old bearded man wearing a flannel jacket and suspenders, along with his son, a tall man with black hair. They came and asked me about my life, and what I was doing in the area. I told them about my love for music. Then the owner's daughter walked out. She looked exactly as I have always envisioned Little Bo Peep. She walked into the bushes and, after only a matter of seconds, retrieved my disc. She handed it to me and without having to say a single word she returned home.

Then I woke up in a hospital. Mind you, this was still in the dream world. I looked about the dark room and got up out of my bed. I pulled my cart with the IV out the door and looked down the hallway. There was nobody there.

Then I awoke.

Dream #274 (October 24, 2010)

I'm back after a very busy week (every waking moment I was at work). This is a bit crazy.

I dreamt that I was in the middle of a large field with the rest of mankind. Even though the field was huge, there weren't nearly enough people to represent all of mankind, but that was all the people left after a world war.

Everyone was listening intently to the leader of mankind, who happened to be Darth Vader. His group of militants were wandering around the field, killing whomever they pleased. The militants were wearing blue and red bandanas around their heads, and their clothes were tattered, and primarily made of denim.

After staring at Darth Vader for a while, he stood up and commanded the militants to kill every single person not wearing a Darth Vader helmet. I looked around and noticed that many people had put on their helmets. I looked around me and realized that I had left my helmet at home. Then the militants began shooting people all over. I joined a large crowd of people trying to flee the field and find safety.

I ran though a woods as people all around me were being picked off by the militants, falling hard to the ground. There was so much death around me that I grew sick to my stomach. I finally made it to a nearby school, where militants were guarding the exterior and interior. There were so many people trying to run into it that I managed to sneak around the guards, who were preoccupied with murdering the others. I was one of a few who made it into the school hallways. I took the stealth approach, so I had to listen to men, women, and children scream, run, shout, and fall as I slowly tried to make it into a classroom.

I did successfully make it to my destination, where I found a large trash can where I hid. Luckily there was a bunch of confetti in it, so I was well hidden. I listened as some heavy footsteps walked in, around, and out of the classroom. I continued to wait there. After a short while, I heard someone run in. The next thing I knew, somebody jumped into the trash can right on top of me, not knowing I was there.

When I revealed myself, I found out that it was Kevin Chupp, who was also trying to hide. We hid there together for a short while, then decided to try to find our way out.

When we exited the classroom, we split up. I soon found a strange, purple door. When I entered through it, I jumped into the future.

The future looked very strange. I was in a green and yellow city full of smog and light pollution. Their were all kinds of crazy air rails zooming here and there. I then noticed that I was no longer in a regular human form; instead, I was a giant spirit, floating free in the atmosphere. I found a special chamber where I could compress my spirit back into a regular being.

When I first compressed myself, I turned into two large elephants, one green and one yellow. I, as the two elephants, ran around the city for a while to expel the excess energy I had. I then reentered the compression chamber and took regular human form again.

I decided to explore the city. I first wen into the backyard of a fancy house where a large, obnoxious party was taking place. The owner of the house was very drunk. As I approached him, I learned that he was formerly the Darth Vader that had caused so much death earlier in my dream. I went to find out what had happened to him when he fell into his swimming pool and drowned there without anybody seeming to notice.

Then I awoke.

Dream #273 (October 18, 2010)

This one is a little disturbing.

I don't date people except occasionally in my dreams. In this one, I was dating a young, blonde-haired gal, about my age, and I was visiting her parents' house, which was an enormous mansion. There were Tiger-skin chairs and couches, marble floors and columns, gigantic beds, and too many bathrooms that were almost blindingly shiny.

I went up to look at my girlfriend's bedroom (it's weird for me to say 'girlfriend') and saw her collection of stuffed animals that was far too large. As I sat down next to her to look at old photographs, her father walked in an informed us that we were cousins. That freaked me out, but that didn't seem to bother the female. She kept continuing on her flipping through the photo album as I scratched my head, confused about why I was still sitting beside her. Everything had change.

Well, everything did change right about then. I switched over to a different dream (after waking up for a few moments). I was attending a college with Kevin Chupp, Shawn Eastridge, and my little brother Mike. This was an undergraduate school, and was all in one building that was, in the dream, covered with snow. We all lived together in an apartment-style dorm room that was on the fifth floor of the building. In the building there were some crazy decorations. The hallways were mirror mazes, the elevators were designed with Batman comic strips, and the rooms had very high ceilings.

This was a very strange dream. I don't think I've had one quite like it because in this dream (which only happened over the course of an hour), I lived an entire week of school. I showed up late to class a couple times, I did homework, and turned in assignments. I don't really know how it all happened. I even had some classes more than once in the dream. I do remember locking myself out of my room once and having to find Shawn to let me in. I even remember walking from the dorm to the classroom building through the wind and the snow. Time must have just flown by. I can't explain it.

Eventually I awoke.

Dream #272 (October 17, 2010)

This was interesting.

I dreamt that I was in a small, dimly lit McDonald's. I was siting at a table, eating a Big Mac value meal, only because I received Monopoly pieces with the meal (I would have otherwise eaten off of the dollar menu). As I ate the enormous burger, I noticed that Norm Dial (the youth pastor at Koontz Lake) was an employee there. He had a large stack of metal which he began to unroll, revealing it to be a roller coaster track, which he then set up in the restaurant. He also had a small roller coaster car ready, and he set that on the track and began speeding around the customers, screaming hardcore music into a microphone that he was holding.

After a few minutes of that nonsense, the manager came out of his office and called Norm into it. Everyone stood and stared at the door as they waited to find out how much trouble Norm got into, but when he walked out, he had a big smile on his face, as did the manager. Apparently he had been praised and promoted to an advertising associate. Good for him.

I had been in the McDonald's so long that it was about suppertime. I didn't really want to eat a Mc-anything at the time, but I had to get some more Monopoly pieces (I'm not this obsessed in real life). I ordered another value menu item, then even dug around in the trash for some more pieces. I then discovered that the pieces had codes that had to be redeemed online after filling out a bunch of personal information. I was angry.

Soon after that discovery, Alik Hall walked in, and I dined with him.

When we finished eating, I finally exited the McDonald's and walked out into Prairie Camp, where Bethel College was hosting an enormous game of capture the flag. Ashley Miller's younger sister (Ashley was my classmate a few years ago) was running with the flag when suddenly my little brother Mike jumped up from behind a set of bleachers and knocked her over with a mini basketball, taking the flag from her in the process. I tried to run closer to the action, but I was very slow because I had eaten so much McDonald's food.

Then I awoke.

Dream #271 (October 7, 2010)

I've been horrible at keeping up to date with my dreams, but I'm trying to get back on track.

This one was interesting, but I'll keep it brief, for it took place a while ago.

I was with Prairie Camp at Potato Creek, and there was a large picnic taking place there. I was grilling hot dogs when Carrie Badertscher walked up to me and asked me to prepare the bouncy games (inflatable games) over in a nearby field. She sent me in the camp truck, with a female counselor that doesn't exist in real life, and I took off.

The girl, who was about my age, had brown hair, and was wearing a green sweatshirt, was very talkative. She told me about all kinds of things going on with her dorm, but I had to concentrate on my driving, so I was unable to really listen to her.

After several minutes of her talking, she decided to ask me to be her boyfriend (she didn't word it much better than that), and I was taken aback. I didn't really like this girl enough to date her, but I was trapped. I didn't want to make the rest of the car ride and set-up time awkward, so I told her I would date her, thinking I could always break up with her after camp.

Then I awoke. The last thing I remember is a feeling similar to fear that made me dread the future relationship.
