august 22 notable dreams

last dream of august: I remember a deep warm yellow all around like sunflowers. conversations with friends. there was music being played. I like how many of my dreams lately are just pleasant feelings/ environments.

apparently last night when r came to bed I told him I had just dreamed that he and I played our duet music in Colorado together and we were happy or something along those lines.

dreamt I was in some sort of prehistoric environment where I didn't know any of the plants or fruits that were around. I tried things cautiously because I didn't know if they'd be toxic, but the person I was with tried things without care. there was a large egg- looking thing with a stem and it was in a multicolored gradient. it was taller than me. I started to roll it around and it was soft but I realized it was some kind of egg. shortly after a hamster the size of a bison walked up and I quickly ran behind one of its cheeks just in case it was carnivorous. my companion did not seem as worried

something to do with trading around instruments in a circle. very fun, woke up smiling.

this one's gross!! dreamt I was at at an amusement park. rode a ride that went really high & spun you around over a highway. I was with a family with 3 kids & they all looked nervous as we were being twirled around. I felt a little scared but also exhilarated. I went to the restroom & there was shit and pee everywhere on the floors. I got poo on my shoes so I took them off & then almost threw up when my bare foot squished into the floor. it smelled very bad. d was at the sink and told me my shoes would never be the same but they would still be gay. it cheered me up.

dreamt something about everyone knowing the world was ending, but the timeline was unclear. it felt really soon though.

then I had ordered a drink at a bar but remembered I don't drink anymore plus it had dairy in it so i gave it to beck (the dog). I was supposed to have taken beck to a dog store and met r there but forgot to & then there was a really beautiful lounge singer in the bar so I just decided to stay and listen to her.

the band Pavement was touring & their bassist got sick so J toured with them instead

dreamt my mom came to my school and one of the teachers who's kind of a hardass told her how much she liked me from her car window

I was in a museum with friends. it was interactive (like a big search) but I didn't like the owner who was pushy and crotchety so I sat out but he made everyone wait until I joined again. later I was stopped by airport security when I tried to go somewhere else in the museum which was also kind of like a mall in that there were other stores. the building was big and wooden though, kind of felt like an old western building, almost fragile. I stopped writing down the dream here in the morning & can't remember the rest anymore

I played a show in Chicago with a really nice local band, but the venue was kind of dismissive of me and kept forgetting my name. but the other band put on house music and one of my songs was in the playlist. I ended up naked somehow and knew I had to get back to where I was staying but was kind of embarrassed to be on the cta nude. my friends were leaving so I went anyway and didnt have money so i hopped the turnstile. a security guy watched me and started to write a ticket but we made eye contact and he smiled and stopped. my friends and i sat in a bathtub that was the train car. the floor had rough edges that cut into my feet. I hopped off the train before we got to the next station so I could grab clothes but I didn't make it back on in time. I got dressed and got on a bike & headed in the direction of the next stop to meet my friends but took my time to enjoy the new scenery. I thought, wow, there are so many directions I've never biked in

a room full of older women doted on me, they were all smiling but I felt uneasy

dreamt I was in Boston on a layover. I'd flown, but had a few hours before I was supposed to take a train to Baltimore. I could sense the cardinal directions strongly & made my way down to the beach. I had a fashion magazine that was all models & clothes, but someone had cut it out in a way where there was a big silhouette that looked like someone with cat's ears. my train ticket was in the magazine & I kept checking to make sure it said 6pm. I walked along the cobblestone near the shore until I met someone's grandmother. she invited me over to wait so I went with her and met her 3 dogs. they were all so overweight. I wanted to steal them & take them on walks. but I knew the woman loved them so much. she had a favorite that was like a very heavy beagle & the other two had fur that was a little longer. I felt emotional thinking about how they wouldn't live as long. I left for my 6o'clock train without taking them

dreamt I was supposed to be one of the last two people on earth & was supposed to repopulate but I refused

dreamt x told me that x dropped outta grad school 2 move to stl

dreamt I was playing a show solo that was online (over a laptop/zoom setup) & it kind of felt like an audition. I had a time limit & was struggling to get my amp & gear set up quickly. I fumbled around for a while & tried to start many times but kept finding things wrong. they said I was short on time so I told the lady mc-ing that i would just play 3 songs and she said "that would be ideal." i tried to start but couldn't play the guitar. I looked down at my fingers and they were in the right shapes but I had a hard time holding them down. I felt extremely embarassed.. I stopped playing and said we could just move on. I was in a family's home and they were busy cooking something. I sat at their table & they didn't seem to care how poorly my set went. they were preparing ayahuasca and invited me to take it with them. they handed me a bowl with the green liquid and I drank some. I didn't stay in the dream long enough to experience anything.

playing a show in a thrift store in TX. really big because it's TX. J was running sound. they say I should play unplugged. the sound is great. kids from school start running around.

later there was another show in a tall, brick apartment building that was way overbooked. when it's time for my set J requests that I play "blue eyes" & I play the song I think they want to hear, but it's not. afterwards they tell me I never played it & I feel bad but they play the song for me. then we talk about consciousness & they help me realize I'm in a dream. i do nothing with this fact and let the dream continue while recognizing that I'm dreaming from time to time. later there were a bunch of people coming and going. my cat almost got out but someone helped me catch her. i said she's not normally a runner. it was announced someone got shot in the building next to the place where the show was and I wondered if it should be shut down but the people putting on the show decided not to. someone was using that fact to advertise the show on social media. "come see me play next to the building someone got murdered" and I got really angry. i peeked into their set & no one came to see them play.

I was in some sort of contest with a few other people. really vague details. I thought I was doing well until the person in charge pointed out how poorly I had hung up some photos on a cork board and when I looked, it was really shitty looking.

a lot of my dreams in the first few days of the month were about school.
