OW! My Leg!

I had a dream that I was at work and Bill R. had come back to fix the internet problems we have been experiencing. While he was sitting at my computer, I reach down and feel my leg. I can totally feel a tendon or ligament or something sitting on top of the muscle mass on my right thigh. I tell Audrey and Sandy, "I've never had this before, what the heck?"

Straightening out my leg, the tendon snaps to the other side of my knee and becomes really tight. I scream out, it was very painful. Very carefully, I work the tendon back to my knee, slip it over, and bend my knee again. That's when I notice the bruise sitting there, and the veins going out away from there. Audrey starts to tell me "That's damage right there, you've damaged it somehow." By now, Bill is sitting in the corner type furiously away on a laptop computer.

I look up at Bill, then wake up.

Carjacking and Secondhand Stores

I was in a secondhand store trying on a velvet dress. A very pretty dress, actually, when I noticed the whole back side of the dressing room was gone. Setting the dress aside, I exited through the door and proceeded to tie a shoe and replace some jewelry I had taken off. An older couple standing near by started a conversation with me about how I should buy a pair of shoes for every day of the week. I replied "If I did, then I would have to constantly change my shoes and socks."

Leaving the store, I was on my way to some sort of event. A young teen boy was walking behind me, I get to the car, and turn to my side, I see him standing with a gun. Quickly hopping into the car, I put it in gear and speed away, rolling up the window and locking the door. In my mind I'm thinking, this is the second time this has happened to me!

The Brick House

Darn it, I've forgotten most of my dream already. I should have posted earlier.

I dreamed of a really tall woman who walked with a cane. Perhaps I was a child? She just seemed tall.....

She and I and another person were walking down a cement walk toward a brick house. It was an absolutely beautiful house, from a distance, but as we got closer, it was like someone was lifting a veil from it, and the beauty lifted off, leaving only an old run down brick house. I looked up at the woman and her face was Hyde's face from 'That 70's Show'. (Don't have a clue what that was all about.)

Once inside the house, I was locked into a room that was wooden all around. Hardwood floor, barn walls and ceiling. Walking to the center of the room, I kneeled down and sat, awaiting someone's return. (Not sure who's return.)

I know more happened in the dream, but the rest is so sketchy, I can't be certain if I'm remembering anything correctly. I do remember running down a hallway, and a hand pinching my shoulder, pulling me toward something. And a stairwell.

I wish I had logged this all this morning when it was still fresh in my mind.

Mark

Mark was my mother's second husband, my first step dad. I hated Mark. I was 9 years old, just a kid, but I will forever remember.

I don't dream of him very often, but I ended up having a dream about him last night. I was the same age that I am now in the dream, but I dreamed of the boy I had seen him with when I was 25. I felt horrible in the dream, I was trying to the best of my ability to get that poor little boy away from him without him knowing what I was doing. He wanted to take him into a room, I have no idea what was on the other side of that door. The little boy looked so trusting and honest, and I just couldn't stop him from going.

The last time I actually seen Mark was at the county park during the air show. It's amazing how that deep down dread and hurt comes up when least expected, even after so many years. He was walking past us, I was 25, Zach was 5, and Charlie was sitting next to me on the bench, Zach was standing between my legs and I had my arms around him, hugging him while we watched a plane take off. I freaked out, I looked right down at the ground and wouldn't look up. Charlie had asked me who that guy was, he had stared at us as he walked past with a woman and a young boy.

I honestly felt dread for that young boy, and hoped to God Mark wasn't still an ass like he was when I was a kid. You just never forget someone burning your toys, or smoking pot in front of you, or some of the other things I'm not going to go into detail on.

All I can say is, thank God my mother came to her senses, that marriage only lasted 4 months.

Dead Bodies

Had a horrible dream last night. I literally woke up in a sweat.

I was in a dark and very filthy house, probably in a basement of some kind. I could hear people walking around upstairs, every once in a while a shadow would pass by the stairwell that led up. I could see maggots everywhere, there was a pile of dead bodies in the corner. My only thoughts were terror, I was searching franticly for a pair of shoes. Finally finding a pair, I sat in a chair to put them on, dumping out maggots and worms.

After waking I recognized the white shoes as Zachary's Phat Farm shoes.

Coincidence?

Because I have noticed several weird coincidences since I have been journaling my dreams, I have decided to create a post dedicated to these abnormal happenings.

First, the dream about the cruise ship. It seemed like such a bizarre dream, when I had it. But, I couldn't believe it when less then 24 hours pass and I see on the news that a cruise ship has sunk.

Second, the dream with Sarah Jessica Parker. She is on the cover of this months Glamour magazine!

Third, the spider dream. On Saturday I met a guy who has a spider tattooed on his collar bone, a spider web tattooed on his shoulder. The coincidence blew me away. I knew then I had to document this.

The Truck Driver

3 years ago I had jury duty with a guy who I would see and bump into everywhere. All over town, at the store, at the ice rink, at the beach. It was enough to make me feel uncomfortable.

Anyway, on with the dream. I dreamed of this guy last night. In my dream, I was wearing the new shoes I bought Saturday, and I was working, but it wasn't my plant I was in, it was like a retail store. I was walking down an isle when I happened to see him, quickly I turned down a different isle, hoping he didn't see me. My foot slipped from my shoe, causing me to pause to fix it.

He came up behind me and asked me if I could show him where the RMA center was. I was a bit speechless at first, then told him to follow me. We walked down a couple of isles where the RMA center was supposed to be, but they had moved it. I told him we would need to find TN. Heading through a double door, TN was sitting at a round table with a few of her Tech's. She looks at the guy, grabs him by a belt loop, and pulls him toward her. I say to TN "This is one of our customers, [TN], this is a customer." Her face immediately turns red, but she laughs.

I apologize to the guy, and head back out the door. He grabs my hand, I turn to see what he has to say, then I woke up. I open my eyes and see Charlie smoothing his hand over my shoulder to wake me up for work this morning.

Erotic Nightmare

I awoke with the lyrics 'She's just a devil woman with evil on her mind.....' playing over and over in my mind. This was definitely one of those dreams that linger well into the conscious waking state. A full 30 seconds after I opened my eyes the images of the dream were still playing inside my head, making it impossible for me to bring myself back to reality.

This happens to me frequently, actually, many of my dreams have songs associated with them, some good, some not so good.

I dreamed of a very handsome but evil man last night. Absolutely the most erotic nightmare I've ever had, at least, that I can remember. I was lying in a bed with just a thin nightgown on, he was kneeling next to me, bare chested, wearing black pants. I knew he was a demon of some sort, but I was so transfixed by his charm, he told me over and over "I won't hurt you, it's ok, just relax." I continued to lie there as he leaned over me, smoothing a hand down the length of my side.

The Cruise Ship

I had a somewhat restless night last night. I hate it when it is hard for me to stay asleep, I feel like crap the next day.

I did happen to have a dream about taking a cruise. I was in a cabin with a few other people, they were standing and chatting but I was lying flat on my back in the center of a bed.

I felt the boat lurch forward and commented to the other occupants in the cabin that we must have taken off from port. One lady was holding a glass of wine, a man was staring down at me smiling.
