Alice, oh Alice

Last night I had the weirdest dream...I found myself shopping around NYC with my dear from Alice (whom I haven't seen in just about a year, because she's been in Australia) suddenly there was a tornado scare. We shrugged it off because we were in the city, and how often are there tornadoes in Manhattan? Then suddenly everyone looked in the sky to see dozens of funnel clouds!! Amongst panic we decided the safest place was Macy's basement. And then I woke up.

Only one dream last night that I can remember. At least it wasn't as crazy as some of them have been.

A new puppy with a tragic ending

Last night I had the weirdest dream. Me and Patryck were walking around an indescribable somewhere when we acquired a puppy! (Lately we've been talking about getting one, and even went to look at some. We fell in love with a chocolate beagle, who I fell madly in love with. This dream was not positive but I hope he's found a good home!) So now we are walking around with Bailey and our new puppy. We stop for a bit to talk to some people and let Bailey and Chocolate (I'll just refer to him like this.) run around off leash. Bailey seems to be leading the pack when they crawl in some sort of tractor, one of them presses the levers and the truck goes jetting forward. Patryck says it's fine.. they won't go to far. Suddenly it takes off, and cuts through trees, and yards, and nothing is stopping them. Until... it flies off a cliff. Chocolate flies out, and Bailey is trapped... both dogs die... we run to the water that they landed in and they are shrunk down into small silver statues. I was devastated and then that dream faded.

I was now in a city with Lisa, we're driving around in the dune buggy when everything starts to get small and narrow. The dune buggy begins to break and she insists we abandon it. I refuse and manage to fold it up and carry it inside the only building that remained regular size. I unfold the dune buggy and drive in up the stairs into the elevator.

I woke up. It was really hot in my room last night, I need to get my frumpy A/C in the window. It's just a matter of time. I need to cool down these wild dreams.

On that note!! Happy Memorial Day weekend! Time to hit the beach!

Where are your pants?

Last night I had the weirdest dream. Wearing exactly what I wore to bed, an oversize teeshirt and my most comfortable panties I found myself shopping at Target. I wasn't alone, no no, I was with my Mom, my friend Lisa, and her mom. Which is strange that these 3 were okay with me walking around in my underwear. In fact, they all thought it was funny. I seemed to have a really good reason when they asked me "Where are your pants?!"... I proclaimed that it was much easier to shop without pants because then you could just try on shorts and pants as you found them. If one size didn't fit there was no need to get redressed and leave the dressing room to find a different size. I specifically remember her mom saying, "Yup, that's my Charlotte!"

(So now that I'm awake and thinking about this... YES! This is such a brilliant idea! It would make pants shopping sooo much quicker. Although, I'd hate to end up on People of Walmart!)

My dreams faded for a little bit after this one. Until I was at work in some sort of down port type of place. Everyone was scared to death because there was a band of thieves running around and killing people, the modern day type of pirate. We all found ourselves hiding upstairs in the stock room every sound sent someone to go mad. As these pirates began to charge up the stairs I took a leap of faith out the window and landed in this sand pile where I buried myself for a while. From the sand pile I was watching the beach, there was a little boy and girl playing near the water he kept pushing her down and trying to hold her under water. I scared him away and ran to the little girls side, we then collected seashells and beach glass until I had to leave on a boat that was coming to save me.

(That dream faded, and I can't remember what happened for a while. I was laying in bed telling myself, OH! Don't forget this! But I did. Oh well.)

Now I was at home stressed out from a day events with my brother and some lady that knew us quite well brought us presents. I was really excited because I thought it was an ipad (haha!) instead it was a different tablet. She went into this big explanation to why it was the best because it came with 3 extra batteries and multiple soft cases. (Now I really want a random lady to come to my house with tablets for me and Steven, I have my fingers crossed and hopes up, though I am expecting this to actually happen.) A homeless crazy then comes into my house and begins shuffling her feet all over, everywhere and everything. She's harmless and doesn't want to hurt anyone just wants to wipe her feet. Eventually she leaves.

Patryck's alarm was going off some time around 11. As always I elbowed him till he snoozed. Where I then found myself in my final dream. The both of us were in church. I was still feeling scared and anxiety from earlier. I was listening to the priest who kept turning around and looking up at the organ because he said it was talking to him. But he just wanted to ensure us that we were all okay. There was then a nontraditional song. I looked at Patyrck and said this is Sophie's (our friend from Sweden) favorite song! (So when he wakes up I'll actually be able to find out what song it was). But for now, it was some kind of techno song. One that had a dance following to it... there were many people who started dancing to it and I was mad I didn't know the dance. After church was over. I woke up.

Happy Halloween Cow!

This dream seemed long, though I know it probably was only a few minutes. Maybe this dream was a result from the Healthy Choice fudge bar I ate last night after inhaling edamame? Who knows.

It was cold, there was snow on the road and everyone was worrying about when if it would ever stop. (Sort of like some of the storms we had this past winter.) I was driving around in my dad's new truck going to Wal-Mart to look for a Halloween costume, because, yes, it was snowing on Halloween. I felt very pressured for time. I had to get to a party and I didn't have anything to wear. On the way to Wal-Mart I kept finding all of these cats walking over mounds of snow that lined the road sides. I remember crying and being so devastated thinking that these cats would freeze. So I began loading them into the truck. There was a mix of normal looking cats, and then there was one HUGE, I'm talking massive cat! It took up nearly the whole back seat. Ok, so I'm on my way finally and see this poor little white cat. (My whole life I've had a thing for white cats, even had one named Rosie, nick named Cow!) I get out of the truck one more time to scoop up this cat, the only cat that didn't struggle, you can tell it's staving and had frozen solid ears. I began to ball, suddenly my mom is there with me. I tell her I believe this one is Cow and we need to take her to the vet right away. My mom protests the cost and I drop the subject.

(My cat Cow was a beautiful white kitty, unfortunately she preferred being outside and would always come home with grease spots-- looking like a Cow! One day she just never came back, I believe she went somewhere to die, her ears had cancer and were beginning to bend over. The surgery would have been thousands to fix so we could only settle with the preventative, non-curing cream. White cats run a high risk of skin cancer in their ears and tails... be warned if you are getting a white kitty and keep them indoors!)

Even after I explain to my mom that I know this is Cow because even though she was a town over she was on her way back to my house I was convinced. Also I believed that she must have fallen asleep in the back of one of my dad's trucks and when he went to work she jumped out and was lost somewhere. (Yeah, all that!).

Things fade to Wal-Mart after that. Much like the real day of Halloween at Wal-Mart the store were a mess!! So I find nothing but some lollipops that I was going to give out at the party. Now I go home.

At home I find a woman talking to my dad who claims to have gotten my mail and is very sorry that she never brought it over sooner. It was a gift card I received from school for $91. haha... but because this lady took so long to bring it to me... it had already expired. I was angry and demanded she owed me the money, but continued to chain smoke and tell me to fuck off. So I check the rest of my mail and I opened something blindly that had my email address on it. Turns out it was someone's college ID and photos and all kinds of random things. (I know the person in real life... Aaron Butler, but haven't seen or talked to him in years... he had just popped up on Facebook last night so assume this could be why he was wandering my thoughts last night.. haha! either way.. SO WEIRD!?!)

Now I'm at Patryck's apartment with my cousins and still super worried about what to wear to this Halloween party. For whatever reason there were a ton of life jackets and oars laying around his house. So I made everyone put on a life vest, glob on sunscreen, and try to appear to be boaters. I put on my feety pajamas (yeah, idk!) and deflated a little blow up raft and tied it to my back. We picked up the oars and charged forward for a picture. (A picture I wish I had in real life!)

Shortly after I woke up.

Intro:

Welcome! This being my first post I feel that it is necessary for a brief introduction. I'm Charlotte, I'm a recent college grad living on Long Island. I've been described as eccentric and that doesn't at all bother me. I'm overall pretty simple.

What this will be is a place for me to record my dreams. I wake up nearly every morning and say, "THAT WAS THE WEIRDEST DREAM I'VE EVER HAD!" I always promise to write them down, but either don't have time, or a proper place. By the time I remember, I've forgot. I'm hoping this will help me document my slumbering mind, share a laugh, and strike up a conversation.


No more procrastinating!
