The One With The High School Reunion

I was in a hotel or conference center or mall when I started seeing a bunch of people I used to go to high school with.  I asked someone what was going on and it turns out that TC had sent an email to like half the school about some kind of event.  Somehow, the other half of the school found out and showed up anyway.  Some of asked the group, "Who wasn't invited by T?" and a whole bunch of people raised their hands.  

The event was related to Martial Arts tricking, which T had been doing.  I remember asking "She's doing my stuff now?"  At the end of the dream I started "sparring" with her, but we weren't making contact (yet) but in my mind I was fully preparing to kick the crap out of her.  

About half the people were actual people from real life high school, like LM, MS...

There was a guy who I didn't remember.  He had a lot of scars on his elbows and forearms like he had cut himself a long time ago.  There were also cuts in the side of a mountain and he had planted flowers in the cuts that made words, but only some of them made sense, the others were gibberish.  It was like how some people use tattoos to turn scars into something beautiful.  He was kind of upset and offended that I didn't remember him, as were some other people.  

He kept calling me either a blend of the words "Jin" or "Chink" or he kept swapping between the two.  I grabbed him by the hair and told him to stop saying that word, but he didn't really know what he was saying.  Someone had to look it up and explain to him that it was like the N word for Chinese people but there was an online definition (like Urban Dictionary) that referred to degrees of pressure while jerking off.  

He said "Oh my god, I didn't know." and was apologetic.

I ended up throwing a cup full of ice and water on a woman that I actually didn't recognize but knew was part of the popular girl clique.  

The One on the Tropical Vacation

Jose and I went on vacation to some tropical location.  We were walking along the beach and I wore my new Earthrunners sandals.  There was a hole in the sand, and when I looked inside, there were these interesting clams that had multicolored stripes on their shells and large clam beards.  When I picked one up, there was a label on them that said "Shrimp Clams".  

A guy walked by with his wife and young boy and was asking me what I was looking at, but he only spoke Spanish.  I didn't know the word for clam so I said "camarones clams" and asked Jose what the word for clam was and he said, but I don't remember what it was.  

Then the guy asked us for our opinion on which of two sunglasses he had we liked better.  There was one pair that had white mirrored lenses but the eye frames were too far apart for his face.  The other had amber lenses and looked better but the frames were too narrow and kind of made him look cross eyed.  I told him I liked the white ones better.

I took my sandals off and waded in the water for a bit, which was super warm, and then realized my sandals were supposed to be good in the water so I tried wading while having them on.

We wanted to take a photo near a sign near the beach, but there were a ton of people hanging around it, so we ended up going onto a stairwell to take a photo there, and then man with the glasses and two other guys came to take the photo with us.  We never took the photo because his wife and kid went downstairs into a lower level where shops were to go to the bathroom and we were waiting for them.  An older couple who were waiting for us to move (although I thought they were just hanging out on the stairs like a lot of people were) to go downstairs got a little frustrated and the wife said "let's just go down this way instead" and I apologized because I didn't know they wanted to get by, and they should've just said something.

I vaguely remember walking around a store, looking for the bathroom (I had to pee in real life) but the only "bathrooms" where these big tables you sat at that had holes in the side that you peed into.  What women did I have no idea.

Next thing I remember we were at a restaurant and Alexa was sitting to my right - she came along on the vacation with us.  At one point we were looking at her iPad and a photo came up of her lying her back with her lifting up her waistband, like a teasing photo like she was going to take a sexy picture.  She took the iPad back quickly because she didn't realize it would come up and she was a little embarrassed but only because the guys that wanted to take the photo with us were at the table with us too.

On my iPad there was a photo that she must've photoshopped and added to my iPad as a joke - it was her with an erect penis and she was holding onto it like she was masturbating but was crying - it was supposed to be "how'd I get this?"  I was asking her how she got it onto my iPad - did she guess my passcode or had I left it unlocked (the latter was true in this case).  I asked her to take it off and she did so by tearing off a paper card at the back of my iPad with the photo on it.  While we were on the trip, I had this like paper cardboard cover put on my iPad (maybe from the resort) and I noticed there were two more that were put over the original one.  

That's when I woke up and immediately texted Alexa about the photoshopped pic.

"What Did I Dress For Halloween"

Somehow this dream had a title: “What Did I Dress For Halloween”. I’m not sure how that happened, but I knew it when I woke up. This dream was a bit different because although I didn’t open my eyes, I’m pretty sure it happened in the middle of the night instead of the morning close to waking. I went to sleep very early last night, so I guess that it happened around midnight or so.

At the beginning of the dream, there were two boats - canoe-ish boats that are pushed along by oars (not rowing), not unlike the water taxis in Venice although not as nice.

A fight of sorts was imminent, so we had to descend (with the boats) underwater to a two-room shack. On my side of the fight was Mohinder (or someone that looked like him) from the TV show Heroes, an older man and perhaps two other people. There was a young boy, perhaps 6 or 7 years old but I’m still unclear which side he was on.

While underwater, we could either hold our breath indefinitely, or we could breathe underwater. I’m not sure which. I don’t remember feeling the sensation of breathing during the dream, nor the sensation of holding my breath.

On the other side of the fight was at least one old American Indian man. I believe there was a young boy on his side, too, but I can’t remember if there were two boys or not.

We sent Mohinder down in a boat on his own as bait to distract the other side while we set the shack up as a base or sanctuary. I remember there being a light in the boat with him, glowing green I believe, and knowing that it was a sacrificial move.

The young boy drowned somehow, and the old man from the other side someone got into the first room of our shack. I fought with him by forcefully slapping his forehead with both of my hands, each time causing his head to crack open (like the movie Kung Fu Hustle when the old woman breaks the top off the funeral bell). Each time it cracked, pumpkin seeds came out of his head, kind of oozing out of the crack. I don't recall him really doing anything to fight back physically.

When his head was cracked about halfway, he said that he wanted to stop but I told him that it was too late, because he was already dead.

At that point, it became apparent that for some reason, when people were dying they were hanging around. I wasn’t sure if it was because we were underwater, because it was dark (it was nighttime) or for some other reason. But I knew that it wasn’t permanent - if something changed, they would “move on”. I speculated in my head that perhaps once they were exposed to sunlight they would die for real. Mohinder died and moved on because he was going to die anyway and it was his time.

Toward the end of the dream I realized that other famous people had spent time in that underwater shack. I “saw” a poster of faces but I don’t think it was a real poster - I just visualized it. It was of famous people that either had disappeared or died or were hounded by paparazzi. I remember Princess Diana and I think it included Amelia Earhart.

The One with the Evil Sara

I lived on a huge estate - with multiple buildings and gardens and squares everywhere. I was chatting with some friends on IM but through chatting, somehow we were hanging out together in real life as well.

There were a bunch of us hanging out outside and this woman Sara that I used to see out clubbing was there and people were commenting that it's not going to be fun with her there. I didn't think anything of it at first.

But then we were all sitting on the grass in little lawn chairs in a big circle, I think we were going to figure out what we were going to do when she started taking charge and dictating what everone was going to do. They kept taking pictures of me and the girl sitting next to me - I think it was Katie.

Then they had me open my mouth to show a piece of hard candy that I had in my mouth so they could take a picture. So, I stuck out my tongue and showed it but they said they couldn't see it and wanted it back further in my mouth, but that obviously didn't make any sense. It didn't make sense to me in the dream, either. That's when I commented to Katie that this wasn't any fun - kind of like Monica on friends when she was forcing everyone to 'have fun' doing mad libs but making them put the pen caps on correctly and choosing words that only made sense.

At that point, I logged onto into another session on the computer, therefore removing myself from that situation and going somewhere else in real life - to a different part of the estate. But I wasn't supposed to do that and Sara got mad. I hid out for a little bit and took a golf club with me when I left one building, but she came up behind me and was yelling at me and hitting me in the back with what seemed to be a long piece of grass that was like a whip. So I whacked her with the golf club a couple of times.

Then she was with a kid who was kind of like the annointed one on Buffy, and the kid had a knife but didn't use it, he just carried it with him. They were both chasing after me in a building with stone walls and floors, like a castle, but I jumped over this little channel of water but Sara couldn't cross it because she had her period - as the kid pointed out. I went further down the hallway and it turned left up into stairs, but to the right (across from the stairs) there was an alcove with a statue or someone in it who was going to try to help protect me.

Then somehow I gave up on that process and I was back in the circle on the grass as if I never left. This time I stayed and kind of just followed the group, almost zombie-like.

After a while, we all got up and she wanted to go somewhere, but I think some people thought we were breaking for lunch, or were just annoyed with her and the situation and went off in a different direction. Some people were going to try to escape. People were saying that she was a witch. I didn't go, I just followed along.

When Sara saw some people were leaving, she screamed in this cosmic, banshee-like scream, 'AHHHHHH! GET BACK HERE AND GO TO THE BLACK DIAMOND!!!!' It was ear-piercing and I woke up with the sound still in my ears - it was like the scream Siren did in the X-Men movie. She was talking about an outside garden square that was in the shape of an elongated diamond.

The One with the Toilet That Saved the Town

I was jogging outside in a place that seemed familiar in the dream with Tim, John and Tina (I think) from work. I remember commenting that I wished I had worn pants because I didn’t like the feeling of things touching my legs when I ran (like tall grass and twigs and stuff). Tim starts running faster and I speed up to kind of race him – John and Tina fall behind, going at their own pace.

We get to this big building with these big aqueduct-looking things. They were kind of water-slide shaped – but bigger and made out of concrete and painted blue like the bottom of a public swimming pool and the paint was cracked and peeling – like the place was old and not kept up. The plant growth in the area indicated the same thing.

One of the aqueduct things acted like a water slide into a large pool and Tim slid down it into the water, which was fairly far down. I stood at the top and watched Tim and noticed when the wind blew, when it rustled certain leaves on this one tree right near the edge of the pool, it would make this warbling sound.

I looked closer and on the leaves there were these clearish little bubble sac things with insects inside. Tim looked at them with me and as we poked at them with a stick, it became apparent what they were – but like Tim was reading something about them but there was nothing to read. He said that the purpose of the building was that when the insects were messed with (as we were doing), the pool would flood and when the water touched the insects, somehow the insects would poison the water and the water would flow out and poison everyone in the surrounding towns.

I noticed nearby there were other aqueduct-slide things, some pointing out into the forest and stuff. The water started to fill the pool and we looked around for a way to try and stop it. There was a bathroom near the pool – with just a toilet inside. I had an idea and opened the back of the toilet up and fiddled with the ball so that the toilet would never fill and it would just run. By doing so, it would keep the pool from getting full enough to poison the towns. I think next we were thinking of breaking the whole toilet but I woke up.
