I don't think I've ever had any anime related dreams....
Oh....except for this one time when I was tapeing this huge Digimon marathon every morning for two weeks for my baby brothers and sisters. I had to sit there and watch them cos mum didn't want the ads in them. I had nightmares about Digimon coming out fo my computer and attacking me.

I kept waking up last night, and I'd wake up for about 5 seconds, then fall back asleep. But it made me remember two really weird dreams; simple dreams, but weird.
1. A guy called and kept questioning me about going to see Nialle over the weekend. He was so curious about every little actiuvity, so I said things like, "Yeah, it was a lot better than the other times because it felt like we never wasted a minute, we were always talking and having fun." Then I thought to ask him who he was, and he said, "I'm Lumie's dad." So I started talking to Lumie on the phone and she was really excited because she and her dad were in New Jersey right then, only about 50 miles away from my house, and she thought she might be allowed to see me.
2. Calantha was going to college in Trenton, NJ (is there even a college in Trenton?) I think she had made a post about her new college, and I could hear the post being read (like a narrarator was reading it) as her dorm room and stuff were going by like a movie. There was some weird thing with curtains... and then I remembered that she didn't know I lived right across the border from Trenton, in Pennsylvania. So I started thinking about whether or not I should meet her... but I thought it might be better if I waited until I got to know her better, so it would be more special.

I had a dream two nights ago that I was trying to snipe at ground troops from between the wings of a biplane, but then the pilot banked hard and I was watching the ground from between the wings, with the struts making square frames between me and the ground; and I was reminded of old-fashioned movie film because it was a row of square frames that sort of went in sequence. *shrugs*
Also I had a dream last night that I was fighting with someone I have (IRL) never fought with before, and I was really upset, because I didn't want to be fighting, but all these horrid remarks kept flying out of my mouth. I was also standing on a barbecue grille that had been discarded in the grass in a park I used to go to as a kid, which was all weird and full of stone ruins in the dream. No clue on this one. I like ruins, I hate fighting... I have no feelings at all about barbecue grilles except that I like food made on one?

I almost never remember dreams, but recently, I've been remembering them a lot more.
It was really weird, within a few nights, I remembered two, and they were both kind of connected. In the first one, I cursed off my mom, and then I ran. I ran in that way that's really hard and fast and flighty. Like the only purpose was to get away, or to get there, or something. Maybe just to get it out. And then I slowed down into this steady pace that I could keep for a long time, and it felt really strong and powerful. Vaguely feline.
And then a couple nights later, I had a dream that I was sort of on this highway. Like, the highway was to my back. There was a fence in front of me, and a big metal box behind the chain-links. I hit the box with my hands and then went crazy and started kicking it, totally not in control of myself. So I ran away. I ran down the highway the same way I had run before. First flighty, and then strong.
So I'm trying to think up more details from both the dreams, and see if there's anything connected between them.

I had this really horrible dream last night.
I dreamt that I woke up and went to reach for my pills and they weren't there and I was looking around and this weird little guy that was floating in the air had them and was laughing at me. I asked him if I could have them back and he said no, he wanted to see what would happen if I didn't take them. So I jumped up and tried to grab him but he floated up out of my reach and out fo my room. I chased him down the stairs and out of the house and down the street adn into town. He still wouldn't give them back and then he started taking pills out and droppign them in muddy puddle and bins and stuff. I felt like I was getting really weak and stuff but I kept chasing him until he stopped in the middle of a shopping center and was floating out fo my reach again taunting my with my pills. It was then I realised people were laughing at me and I looked down and I was naked
Btw, these are my pills I have to take for my thyroid. I'm not popping weird pills or anything.

(Have you noticed how everyone says that their dreams are weird or disturbing or something? Nobody ever goes "Oh, I had a really nice dream last night" or anything. :
I had a dream I was at my friend JG's farm and we were walking around in the paddocks. He has cows and sheep and goats on his farm IRL but in my dream we were walking around and the fields were full of chickens. Like, they were everywhere and you couldn't see the ground and it was really hard to walk without stepping on them. I mean, I know that IRL his mum has like, 4 chooks or something (they collect the eggs to eat) but it was really weird, walking in a field of chickens. And they felt really funny and fluffy and pointy at the same time.

So maybe our dreams are trying to tell us stuff in the most blatant way they can, and since we can't understand them very well, they just seem weird... or terrifying.
In the shower today I was trying to remember if I had any dreams last night, so here's one which, due to my current knowledge, I think is plain weird:
I was in a dollar store with Gen and Airlia, but most of the products were $1.65 or $1.30. We were higher up than usual, maybe a second floor, and I saw Harry Potter bath wash. I actually.. erhm, use HP bath wash stuff for soap, so when I saw it I got really excited, because I could get one for Gabi and Brit and then they could use the same soap as I do. I took the three off the shelf and looked at the different pictures on the front, and I finally decided on one with Mr. Weasley. We went up to the register to pay for it, but I also wanted to grab some candy. I scanned the shelves for some candy I like, but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I kept searching and could feel everyone else growing impatient.

*chuckles* I had a good dream last night. I dreamed that I went to Christmas at my family's and they were really rotten to me (unfortunately, not a surprise), but then someone I really like came and picked me up and we went out for coffee and then decided to visit the terra cotta soldier exhibit thing (are they actually on exhibit somewhere? The big long rows of terra cotta soldiers that were dug up in China about 20 years ago?). The museum keepers let me and my friend walk in among the soldiers, and I noticed that each one was just a little tiny bit different from the others. Like, one guy had a lizard painted on the handle of his sword, and another guy had a long braid of black hair tucked into his belt -- each one had one different thing, never conspicuous, but always one different thing. So I stood there looking up and down the rows, holding hands with my friend, and I wasn't mad at my family anymore, and I felt really happy that we were somewhere interesting together, and that all the soldiers were quietly different.

That's really cool En, cos each one of those terra cotta soldiers were individual in some way. Many of them have different faces and stuff. I love they way the ancients out so much detail into things. ;D
I dunno what to think of the dream I had last night. I was with my family in a car that wasn't ours and we were all squished in and mum was driving really fast. When I asked her where we were going she just said "The bus!" so I kept quiet. Then she screeched to a stop and everyone grabbed me and threwme out the door and all started yelling "Get on the bus! Get on the bus!!!" So I turn around to find the bus and this big yellow bus was there and I got on and it took off straight away. I was the only person on it and the bus driver seemed to be goign really fast. We were going past all these famous land marks from around the world that all seemed to be lined up along the road at regular intivals. I never thought to ask why I had to be on this bus in the dream for some reason but I asked where we were going again to the bus driver this time and he just grunted so I left it. Then we driving through a fair ground and I saw heaps of people I knew and wanted to talk to. I saw Andy, and KoKo and En and Rue and Chris and Leia and a friend of mine I haven't seen in years. So I got up to ask the bus driver to stop only when I was trying to run I was going in really slow motion while everything else was moving at normal speed which was really weird. By the time I reached the driver we were out of the fair ground and on the road again and when I asked him if we could go back he threw me out of the bus and kept driving. So I started walking back to the fair. When I got there there were heaps more people so I started looking for everyone but the fair ground seemed to have doubled in size as well and I felt like I was wandering around aimlessly.

I haven't been sleeping well. I think for the last three nights I've woken up at least ten times each night. When I wake up I go right back to sleep, or if it's light enough, I check the clock to see if it's time to wake up yet. I remember waking up today once around dawn, and thinking I could go on a sunrise walk, but decided to fall back asleep. And I was cold all night so that made me wake up even more. But, I've been having these crazily elaborate dreams, maybe because I've been waking up so much? The first two were about going to Simon's Rock, and exactly what happened there for the first two weeks or whatever.
This time, my mom wanted to send me on a sea voyage with a man who was taking a few kids across the country. I got really mad at her when she suggested it, so she dropped it. But, I kept thinking about it all day, and finally decided I wanted to go, even though she'd showed me the route on the map (the number 246 or 256 was the route) and I was terrified of being in a boat for that long a stretch.
The first person I told was Gen, and we figured out I only had less than a day to pack. I remembered some library books which were almost overdo, and I was going to be gone for a while, so I wrote a letter to Gen including all of their names so she could rummage around in my room until she found all of them, then return them.
I met the guy overseeing all of this, and he seemed really strong and trustworthy. So we started out on our way. I was with the guy, and about three other kids my age. But the funny thing was, we weren't travelling completely by sea, we mainly travelled some other way and he stopped us at small ponds and swimming pools to teach us how to swim better. I was really relieved, and figured it must have been because my mom was showing me a map of the U.S., and instead of travelling across a whole ocean, we were just travelling from the east coast to somewhere else in the U.S., and what looked like sea had really been land.
We got to the school-type-thing which I asume was our destination, because it felt like I was being enrolled. I was in a small circle with three other girls who had come, and we said where we had lived before. Two girls said Iowa, and that's when I realized the school must be really close to Iowa. I said Pennsylvania, and thought it was funny that it sounded sort of far away like everyone else's. So then I asked if we were really across the border into Iowa, and they said it wasn't really decided, so we were on the border of Iowa and (New) Orleans. I thought briefly that it was funny how far south Orleans was, and that it bordered Iowa, but I didn't mention it.
The school we were staying at raised chickens, and a group of chicks had just hatched along with another group which were about to. I was holding I think an unhatched egg, and the girls who had handed it to me had left to put the others back without knowing I still held one. I could sort of see them in the distance through hallways, but lost track of them. I was with another girl, and we decided to walk down random hallways until we found it. We were on the second story, and I opened a door which led us outiside, over two stories of a trash dump. We jumped, 'cause at least it was an exit, and tried to find out where the rest of the chicks were.
We didn't find the cage, but instead the girls who were going to it. We hung out with them, but they went to a room instead, where a bunch of other people were. They put some baby chicks on a table with (a dog?) and all of the chicks were cuddling up to the dog, and the light behind the dog, for warmth. The dog loved the chicks and was being so gentle with them, nuzzling and licking them. The girls were saying that one of the teachers had by accident broken one of the eggs, and had killed a halfway-formed chick. Then they wandered out of the room, just as a kitten came in and jumped on the table with the dog and chicks. I really didn't trust the kitten because it seemed to be getting rougher and rougher with them, possibly starting to nip. But no one was there to ask so I decided to seperate them.
Then I was travelling, actually on a boat with the guy and the three other girls. We were crossing a big river, and we got a call from a woman who was doing the same thing as the guy. She said she'd meet us at the shack on the side of the river we were crossing to. The guy said, "Which shack, there are a lot of them" and she said, "The big one." I looked across and saw one that was the biggest and a greenish color, so to clarify I said, "The green one"
When we got across she came over in just a few minutes, and I sensed a lot of urgency in the air and felt like we were being rushed from place to place and had to be careful not to get caught. The woman led us to the residence she kept with her group of kids, and when we were walking up to it it looked very metal, like it was split into metal portions. And it was so big compared to what we had been living in. (It was about the size of a big, two or three story house) The woman didn't let us forget it either. She was so completely bragging as she showed us around.
She led us up stairs, and I was the one right behind her, with the others out of sight behind me, still following us. On the stairs we passed a boy who wanted something from me, I think soda cans or something, and he actually pulled me back a few steps so I'd be level with him (even though he was sitting down) and I convinced him I couldn't help him, them ran to catch up.
We were staying in a room with a bunch of other teenagers, and they were teenagers. One girl from my group was really mingling, talking in a group of people and flirting with a guy. Throughout the night they kept flirting more and more, and I remembered that she was so happy she could go home and tell her dad she didn't get pregnant, but now that might not happen.
The girl had reddish hair which just reached her shoulders. So, while the guy she was flirting with was still touching her "stomach" *cough* she broke out singing (maybe to make him stop but I wasn't sure). She sang, "Over the rainbow", then started at the beginning of the song and sang the entire thing.
While she was singing. I got this flash of her singing the same song in 1st or 2nd grade. She was at school, in front of an audience of parents. And she opened her mouth really wide to sing (which I figured was because people taught her to when she was really young). I made out her parents in the audience, then looked back at the girl. The stage was split into two lines of benches, and she was in the front bench on the left. There was another girl, who looked sort of like her but her hair wasn't as shiny or kept, sitting on the front bench on the right.
Then back to the current room I was in, and a girl with blond hair, and a really big, round face and small eyes started accusing the singing girl. "I knew it was you! Before when you sang that song when you were younger you told the teachers you weren't sure if you'd be able to sing it right, so they brought her-" (the blond pointed to me) "up to sing with you, and you made fun of her because you sang the entire song and didn't let her get in a word." I couldn't remember it, but thought it must be true if she'd also flashed back to the same memory as I did. I looked at the blond girl and noticed how small her eyes were on her face. I saw them transform into one big eye, then back into two small ones.
Everyone left the room so I was alone, and I heard the sound of a movie far away. I tried to decipher what movie it was, but couldn't.
(Anyone up for using that as an outline for a novel? )

2. Calantha was going to college in Trenton, NJ (is there even a college in Trenton?) I think she had made a post about her new college, and I could hear the post being read (like a narrarator was reading it) as her dorm room and stuff were going by like a movie. There was some weird thing with curtains... and then I remembered that she didn't know I lived right across the border from Trenton, in Pennsylvania. So I started thinking about whether or not I should meet her... but I thought it might be better if I waited until I got to know her better, so it would be more special. Wow Rue, I feels so priveleged because I got to be in a dream! . No...really, I'm serious. Two nights ago, I had quite the odd dream. I was going to a movie with a dear friend of mine, and two people who I know I know them, I mean, I felt like I knew them, I knew them and I loved them, but I didn't know them...I didn't recognize them, and I could really see their faces, but I knew I knew them. Anyways, so we all went to see 1000 Corpses (which I haven't seen, but in my dream it was set in a graveyard and they had tacos from Taco Bell...maybe I was hungry? Who knows?) Anyways, but I knew if we went into the theater that something bad would happen, but we all went in anyways, and I tried and tried to convince them to leave because I knew someone was going to come to life from the movie, like step out of the screen, and attack us. I tried to drag them out, but I couldn't and I just started crying, but my friend, and the two people I was really close with but didn't really know who they were just sat there and told me to stop because I was paranoid. So I left and I walked out of the theater and ran into the guy who tears the tickets, but he was dressed like an old-timey bellhop. And I started to tell him he had to evacuate the movie, and I knew I knew this person, but I could never look at his face, and I began to shake him and he told me that he knew that people were going to die, but that's how they got money so it was all okay. Needless to say I was upset because my friends were in there. And so the bellhop says that it's going to be okay and nothing in life is really easy...and then he walks into this room full of old popcorn machines and disappeared. And so I was running around this theater trying to figure out how to set the fire alarm, but I couldn't find it and then the movie was over and my friends walked out holding tacos (yeah, maybe I was hungry?) and said that I had missed a great movie, and that I should have stayed, and when I looked in, there weren't any mass murderers or graves, it was just a theater, and so we left the theater and were inside the mall back home, and I went with my friend to the door, and the other two asked me where I was going, and I said to my car to go home, and they told me they'd be staying at the mall that night and I tried to invite them back to my house, but I couldn't because I had this creepy feeling, and then my other friend left me, and I went to my car, got in and drove home. And that was it. It was sort of pointless except after I woke up I had this odd feeling, the same feeling I had when I knew the two people and I knew that I cared deeply about them, but I couldn't see them. That and the comment about nothing in life is ever really easy just struck me...as...interesting.

OK, Rue, I get why you might have been thinking about going to school... but the rest of that was weird. Where did the chickens come from? What were you thinking about the red-haired girl? What did you feel about the boy who stopped you on the stairs?
Cal, your dream is scary. The line about how that was how they made money, so it was all okay... *shudder* Anyway, you could really easily make that into a piece of writing (poem, essay, whatever) about current film -- how it shows us all the worst things there might be in people, and very seldom what might be good, but they make money, so it's all okay

So I've been thinking a lot about what dreams mean to me, ever since Koko pointed out how we usually only mention "weird" or "strange" dreams or whatever. Like, I've been trying to figure out what I think about my dreams and why I might think that.
Anway, I had a neutral dream last night. It wasn't weird or good or bad or anything. It just was. But it was cool, because it got me thinking about some other things.
It was really hazy, and I woke up a few times, and the dream(s) changed after I woke up and stuff. But the biggest chunk I remember is that I was skateboarding. (I've been trying to learn that semi-recently. I can do okay, but I wobble a lot on big hills.) Well, I was practicing skateboarding. I basically just went around a development nearby, keeping my balance and feeling out the different ways of riding it. I got back to my street and had to evacuate the board half-way down the big hill at the top of my street. Then I started up the next hill. [Chaia] pulled up next to me in her car as I was going up the hill. *bits I don't remember* Chaia, another woman, and I were all in this house. (The house was hit by this huge tree that died in a storm last year. They're in the process of re-building it right now. It has a gable. ;D ) I knew the house wasn't re-built yet, but it was completely furnished in my dream, if that makes sense. We were cleaing it. I woke up, and whenI went back to sleep, I had a dream with Nialle in it. I can't remember the dream in the least, only that Nialle was in it.
Anyway, all this got me thinking about who I dream about. Like, it takes me a while to become comfortable enough with people to have a dream about them. Like, I've never had a dream about Gabi or Brit, even though they're important to me. But I've had multiple dreams about Nialle, even though I've only met hir four times IRL. Things like that. I was thinking about what has to happen to ge me to dream about someone. 'Cause, like, I had a dream with Jennifer Lopez in it once, and I've certainly never met her, but a friend of mine had a really big thing for her for a long time, so I heard a lot about her. *shrugs* Not really sure where I was going with this. I just think it's interesting that, like, I can't remember the last time I had a dream with Chandra in it, and I live with her. But I had a dream with Nialle and Suzy in it before I had even met them IRL. Things like that.
And Cal, your dream was scary. Like Nialle said, with the whole "we're making money so it's okay" thing. I read that and had to stop for a bit.

Hmmm...I guess it was scary, but it wasn't me waking up and screaming and crying scary...maybe...more...creepy.
I hardly will ever dream of people I know, but I have dreams constantly about people that I feel like I have this amazing friendship with, but I don't know what they look like or I can't see them. Does that make sense? I know I know them, but I don't recognize their features or see their features.
Once I had a terribly dream about my principal killing me though...that was slightly on the frightening side.
Last night all I remember was I had a dream that I was watching people from an apartment window in Hannibal Missouri, and I haven't been there in a few years...I wonder sometimes why I dream about places I've been but never places I'd like to go.

As long as someone has a big enough impact on me, I can dream about them, just a big impact is really small for me. So one time I had a dream with Pkia in it (though I completely forget what it was about), even though I don't know her too well, and I think I had that dream about Calantha because I do want to get to know her better because her posts sound really cool and I'm slightly in awe of her, but I've never gotten around to it.
Last night I had a Motley dream. I'm pretty sure I had one or two of those before, but I can't remember. This one, though, I walked into a building which was a big gym, and a coach was teaching a basketball team. The floor was super spongy, so the whole team had their shoes off. I started taking my shoes off too because I wanted to join in, even though I knew I hadn't practiced basketball in a long time. Then the coach ordered one player to do something, and the player ran out of the gym onto the lawn. I could see him through windows, and he went up to this other player and talked to him. The other player was black, and sorta looked like he got on the coach's bad side. I got the sudden flash, "Motley?" and then he turned around and I could see "Motley" printed on the back of his jersey.
I got my shoes on again and went out to him. I asked if he wanted to get out of view of the coach, because the coach seemed pretty angryish, so I suggested a walk and we turned the corner and started going on a walk.
The other novel-sized dream: I have no idea about the chickens. None. The guy on the stairs was really lounging, and he had the same feel as a drunk or someone, just not as scary. He was still just a teenager like everyone else there. And the red-haired girl felt ditzy and popular and like she was getting a ton of attention. I was really happy I wasn't getting noticed, but it felt like she was going to do something stupid. And I was a bit scared for her.
*edit* I've also been having dreams about guys who I supposedly have crushes on. They're complete strangers, but I know I know them in the dreams. And two nights ago I had a dream about a really cool guy I knew in seventh grade. Only I just romanticly-liked him the tiniest tiniest bit in the dream, we were mostly just really awesome friends. It was very cool.
