more dreams. but. reader's digest versions!

[cimorene]

the result of sleeping poorly was waking up and having four different dreams--it was really hot in our room last night, and i unwisely took a nap yesterday afternoon, so, you know.

1. i was in a house with a lot of people. who was there? some aunts and cousins. also silviakundera, for some reason, and some people i didn't know, but i knew they were slashers. and also some pirates. but some evil people were coming to get some, but not all of us--the pirates were going to be safe and they were helping me hide, because the other people who were going to be kidnapped (killed?) had already escaped. they told me to hide in the bathtub, and i discovered a secret compartment behind it where the wall opened, and you could crawl under it, but there was blood there. ick.

2. in the second dream, i was she-ra, and we were doing some kind of covert operation to get hordak, but it was in, like, scotland, and hordak was living in a gothic castle. hordak had some affection remaining for me from when he'd raised me (=adora), but was still ultimately evil, and i was somehow helpless. it wasn't clear that he was going to really let me escape. but he gave me some directions. there was someone else there who was really going to kill me if she found me--shadow weaver or catra, maybe?



3. at my high school some orbiting rocket or satellite or something was getting ready to fall out of orbit near our school, so we were out in the park waiting to see if we could see it and we were having a pizza party. the names of everyone were written on the little plates with the pizza on them. one said "mai kuraki." it was intended for my exchange student, even though that's the name of a j pop star, not my student, and even though she was back in japan. don't ask how they messed up the name... anyway, it made me miss her a lot, and i was explaining this to my best friend, and then i went to buy mascara for her (mayumi, the exchange student) from estee lauder, and i was mailing it to her, because they didn't have mascara in japan, and i was trying to write out instructions for how to put it on.

4. i was not me, but a member of a family that used magic, and there was an evil school built, like, in the historic district where our ancestral house was supposed to be, which made it hard for us to draw on the magic we needed. my dad had been vanished for a long time and the evil people thought he was dead. me and my mom and brothers (?) went to rescue him, flying. and carried him back, like, bleeding and weak and asleep. after he'd been gone, in this magical sleep, for a long time. we were going to sneak up to the school so he could get his energy back. there were wolves chasing us as we flew above a field just a few feet off the ground. he was slowing us down. then i woke up.

longer notes on 1 & 2:

1. there was this tremendous tension in the house, as everyone sort of wandered around. was in a red formal living room leaning on the mantel shelf. my aunts were next door in the kitchen and my cousin was playing with some unidentified slashers, and silvia was sitting in an ornate Elizabethan-looking chair, doing cross-stitching. i kept complaining, and they kept making fun of me. (me: but how much longer is it? unidentified slasher: they'll come when they come. my cousin: calm down. geez. silvia: *continues to cross-stitch, while i glare at her, for some reason*) i was v. upset that the people coming intended, apparently, to kill us, while everyone else took this in stride. i finally decided to take a nap. silvia told me not to, but i did anyway. the pirates warned me i might not be able to get out in time, but i went upstairs and took a nap in a huge cold bed that had a red eyelet coverlet. i'm telling you, everything was red. so then i came downstairs and everyone was gone but the pirates, and that's when they made me hide in the tub. i sat there, lay on my back, tried pulling my knees up, closing the shower curtain, etc. i could hear the evil people coming and was terrified. when i found that secret compartment i just scrambled straight into it, and i barely had time to see it was bloody inside before i closed the wall behind me. like, a few inches of blood all over the floor. it was about 3 feet square behind the tub, or a bit bigger, and then it stretched under the tub, so if you wanted (and didn't mind lying in blood) you could lie down. ...then i woke up.

2. the she-ra one had a lot of secret compartments too. i keep dreaming about mountains, lately. i was with a band of rebels (not the backup characters from she-ra) and we had radios and stuff, and we were creeping up the mountain, which was verdant and green and gorgeous. there were... sheep and stuff. and then i went into hordak's castle alone, and he kidnapped me. at first i was locked in this huge stone-flagged room, but then he let me into his bedroom (?) and i found secret passages out in the closet and in the wood panelling next to a window. finally i got out via this window and climbing sort of on the turrets and various roof-surfaces of the castle. i could see the other rebels down on the grassy slopes away from the castle but i couldn't get to them.

...hm. the end.

Dude! I always end up in people's dreams, but I never have any dreams of my own. This is awfully unfair.

But... squeeeee! I'm in your head! I'm in your head! ::dances around in head::
