July Dreams 2022

dreamt I was starting med school and got nervous i couldn't do it because the math was so hard right from the start.

dream I had to get r to this karaoke bar so he could make a recording with live musicians there. it was almost empty, but it was in the middle of nowhere so rural folks from the area would come in occasionally. he recorded & it was great.

later, we were in Mississippi somewhere, big glass and wood building. I had powers & was with 4 others who had powers. this other team of super power people attacked because one of them sensed that I had dark powers. I proved that I had good powers too & assured them my dark powers weren't a concern & they agreed to stop attacking, but told us not to come around anymore.

someone had buyer's remorse about a shirt that they thrifted. it was a white tee with sweat stains all over the top half. I was trying to convince them it was trendy/vintage looking so they would feel better.

dreamt the world was on fire. there were tornado warnings all around and I was in this bunker type place with a lot of people. I was a little stressed, but this was just how the world was and I knew it was too late to do anything so I didn't fret too much. lots of people came and went in between fire storms. I remember sitting on the floor in a circle with a bunch of guys, passing around a chord chart & taking turns with one guitar. when it got to me I felt embarrassed because I knew how to play the chords and tried to riff/jam/improvise around them, but my fingers wouldn't work so I passed it along with shame. The only people I specifically remember being there were CB & IO.

dream last night was embarrassing, will not disclose here

I was on a baseball team with an old friend, J, and our team colors were dark green and white. we had to beat this team of cyborgs with alligator eyes. when we won, they agreed to take us back in time to stop them from taking the soul of a child and putting it in a robot shell.

dreamt I was supposed to play a show at a water park. my band got there and we had to pay to get in. I was playing cello in this band so I asked if I could store it up front and the ticket taker said she couldn't guarantee it wouldn't be stolen, but I had no other option so I left it. I walked around with my band mate "Gus French" (not a real person I know) who had shoulder-length curly black hair, green eyes, and a mustache. the water park was huge, and made to look natural with rock formations and native plants all over. it felt like the american south west or arches national park. we didn't get in the water, but we found the stage. some people there told us the show was actually tomorrow so we decided to find the rest of our band and sleep in the locker rooms. I went to get my cello & played in the locker room & it was echo-y and nice.

I was in a town taking care of kids at a daycare thing, but I was unhappy. after work, I went to this yoga circle in the park and people were getting upset because this couple unrobed and were giving each other raspberries. I felt annoyed too, but just because they were intentionally trying to bother the circle. you could tell because they kept looking around maliciously. I got up and saw the largest train engine I've ever seen. it was black and powerful. I saw this guy in black skinny jeans get on the car behind the engine so I ran to get on too. the train started moving and I introduced myself and he said he could help with train hopping. it picked up speed rapidly and I could see snow up ahead. I started to get worried but he said we were going to stop before we reached the clouds. it was thrilling and a little frightening. we sped so fast we had to climb around to the front of the train car to keep safe, even though we were right behind the engine. when we started to slow down, we went to the back of the train car to avoid being spotted. you had to step over one of the wheels and I could feel the breeze around my pants and felt so worried I would be sucked under. we got to the next town and snuck off. my friends H & L were there with some other people. we looked for food outside these tall grain silos and I found a bag of popcorn and pretzels in the trash and shared it with black jeans guy. I saw other people had tagged the silos and regretted not having my oil stick.

we got back to the stalled train and someone had made friends with the conductor and crew so we were allowed to ride in one of the open boxcars. I couldn't believe they gave us permission, unheard of. I wanted to ask my uncle (irl train guy) if he'd ever met train hoppers and let them ride. there was a toilet in the box car and even though we were moving, H walked around the whole outside of the train to get on. I knew the physics didn't add up but decided to ignore that. they complained about how dirty the bathroom was and that didn't add up for their character too. i decided to use the bathroom after they were done and then I woke up and had to pee

dream had to do with robots. I think i was talkijng to one who was extremely intelligent and we were discussing ethics of using robots who weren't intelligent to do work.

sci-fi dream-- it was on a planet that had transportation via waterways/oceans, but we also flew in small spacecraft. myself and one other person were evacuating people. I can't remember why we were taking them, but we ended up in bunkers. It may have had to do with a storm. the other person i was with was this really angsty man who had other plans. He was still helping, but complaining the whole time and I didn't trust him because I thought he might start abandoning the people we were with.

was at a big 'teachers retreat' somewhere up in a state where it is cool (michigan, minnesota?) we slept in beds that were in these bathroom stall-like sections. I was roommates with this older science teacher guy who was really nice. I remember talking to these two other teachers & one of them said that paras should just sit in the corner and not do anything. the other teacher apologized and said the first guy had probably only ever worked with gen ed. this is funny bc irl every teacher wishes they had class aid. not sure why my dream "created a guy."

dreamt i was at a show that i was supposed to play at, but the guy who was supposed to be organizing it, H, had to leave. I started to run sound and also tell bands where to go. it was a huge lineup. I wasn't upset or anxious that H had left, I had a lot of fun.

was sharing a blanket with a friend. we were trying to fall asleep, but things kept happening that I had to get up and fix. Details hazy.

dreamt I was a para at a big boarding school. my class was huge & I think it was esol- focused because a lot of the kids didn't speak English. we had the kids sit on the carpet and tell us one thing they liked about themselves before they were dismissed for the day. when I left, I went to this no plastic food market. I got green beans & 2 kinds of cereal & accidentally got spicy mayo on my hand. my friend e from high school was there & saw it happen& I got embarrassed. I walked out & as I was walking downstairs to leave, he asked if I wanted to get dinner with him. I said yes & he told me we should meet up at 8. i went home to take a shower & when i got out, my roommate (unknown??) told me my computer was spazzing out. it was an old early 2000's desktop type. i ran over to look at it & it had a virus with a bunch of pop ups. i was still naked from my shower & it took a bunch of photos of me so i unplugged it really fast. i was panicked but moved on to meet E. we met up later but it was actually a movie & he brought some really annoying friends along. I contemplated leaving, but really liked e's friendship so I stuck around.

was on a "magic school bus." with all my closest friends plus someone I don't talk to anymore. we were playing the Google earth game where you look around somewhere & try to figure out where it is, except the bus was actually there driving around & we had to guess where someone had landed us. we were all stumped when we were in the arctic & it was lush green over the cliffs. we finally saw a sign that said "the arctic" alongside the road. we stopped at a post office because I needed to mail something. it was deserted & the lights were off. I put my package in a machine that was supposed to be automatic and only costs $5 to mail. I put a 20 in and realized the machine was dead so I didn't get change and didn't know whether or not my package would be mailed. the person who I do not talk to anymore scoffed at me and mocked me for it but I ignored them and got back on the bus.
