So....life has been just a little bit cRaaZYyyyyy so I haven't been as good about updating. Things are settling down now though and boy do I have some weird dreams to tell you about!
So for my "sun" dream...
It all started off when I was sitting in a little tiny office all by myself. I was sitting at a desk and I was checking my email. I kept waiting for an email from the secretary telling me who was out for the day. She always sent it first thing in the morning and I hadn't gotten it yet so I kept checking my email. (This is something that really does happen where I work although I don't have an office). I still wasn't getting anything so I figured that must mean if she wasn't at work, nobody must be, so I left for the day. When I was outside, people were running around so I asked them why no one was working and it was because.....(get ready for it)......the sun was supposed to turn off that day. Yep, the sun was supposed to turn off. Like a light switch. I went home and opened my pantry door, which was already filled with several months' supplies of food.
That was all I remember. No idea if the sun was ever going to flip back on or not...
I'm not exactly sure if it took place in the ocean or not but if not an ocean, definitely a big lake with very deep water and this picture is almost exactly what it looked like where there was a swimming contest. I wasn't even in this dream, but yet I was dreaming about other people having this swimming contest. There was a large group of people in the water, probably about 40. They weren't really swimming so much as they were treading water. The people seemed to be split up into 2 groups of 20, separated a little bit, but both by rock outcroppings. On at least one of the rocks, there was definitely a person standing there with a stopwatch, giving directions to the "swimmers." At one point, my "movie" switched gears to go below the water. I watched a man dive down to try to touch "the bottom" although (here's an interesting twist...) he had a mouthful of Scope. Like the mouthwash. He was also holding the empty bottle of Scope while he was diving. (I don't even use Scope so I don't know where that came from).
My "painting" dream...
This one I was in. It was kind of like HGTV's show Design Star (which I used to watch but I haven't seen it in forever). I was with a group of people and we were in a big abandoned factory. We were each given a "room" to design and we were told that the judges would be coming by later to check our work. My room was long and rectangular with super high ceilings. I remember at first I couldn't decide what to do with it. Then, all of a sudden I'm on a ladder, painting. I painted the 2 long walls powder blue and the 2 short walls on the ends of the room burgundy. I had also set my room up with some furntiure. I don't know where it came from or how I put it there but it was just there as I painted. Design-wise it was very poor. The room looked very sparse but I was out of time because the judges were coming. Then, I was in a group of people as we accompanied the judges to every room and my sister was in the group with me. We went to one room that was set up like a dining room and was very tasteful. We then went to another room (although I don't know how it was designed) because I was distracted by a shoe rack on the side near us that had a cute pair of shoes on it. I pointed it out to my sister. She reminded me that we had a plane to catch (????) but that if I was quick, I could take the cute shoes without anyone realizing it. I think I said something along the lines of that's not a nice thing to do....but she assured me that they were just used as a design prop so I snuck them in my bag, then hurried onto the airplane, buckled my seatbelt, and woke up...
So this dream took place at my old childhood home. I was there with all of my cousins and aunts and uncles. I had gone outside and was talking to a woman on the far side of the pool (which is interesting because as a kid - we never played on that side of the pool because it backed up to the woods). Before we knew it, there was a male and female lion trying to attack us (moreso the male lion though). Out of nowhere, there was a neighbor lady there with 2 young daughters and she ran and locked the three of them into the shed we had by the pool. I debated rather to run into the shed with them or if I could make it back to the front door (peeps...the shed was a lot closer to the pool than the front door was). I decided I could probably outrun the lions to the door (HAHAHAHA) and I would be safer in the house than in the shed so I made a run for it and made it! Once I was inside and out of breath, my Dad was there and was asking me what happened. I told him that there were 2 "mountain lions" in our yard. He asked me what kind of mane it had and was I sure that it was a "mountain lion" or some other kind of lion. I think I got kind of hysterical and said "What does it matter? There are LIONS in our yard!" and that's when I woke up.
Even though the attempted lion-attack was scary in my dream, I didn't feel like it was a nightmare. My heart was racing a little bit but I was able to fall right back asleep. I find this interesting though because almost exactly 6 months ago, I had this dream...which took place at this same house and also starred lions, only in that case...the lions were Grandpa N and Grandma A. Strange.
