Sleep = dreams! (Susie)

I am finding that without sleep I have nothing to write on this blog....so I will tell you about a nightmare that I had quite a bit when we first moved into our current house!
There used to be a mailbox on the corner next to Aunt Fannies (which is the fish restaurant now) It was actually a drop box for the mailman, and you couldn't put mail into it... Anyway...my dream was that I was chained to it and couldn't get away when I was being chased by a lion or tiger...I would have this dream quite often...I rememer waking up quite terrified after this dream!!! That is my contribution!!!!

Surprise- Melissa

Big surprise...last night (in my five minutes of sleep) I dreamed about slumber parties full of zillions of little girls!

Fast Times at Bathroom High - jen.

I have been sent back to high school. It is overcrowded, dismal and dirty. Beds have been set up in the bathrooms because there are no desks or classrooms left for all the students. Of course, I am in one of these bath/classrooms and I have to go. After I relieve myself on the jagged edge of a seatless toilet, I climb into a bed and pull the covers up.

Just then a former "client" of mine walks in. She climbs into bed with me.

Let me step out of my dream for a moment to tell you about this woman. She has been in the mental health care system for decades. I would guess she is nearing 60 years of age. She is always disheveled and talks very quietly so you have to get close to her to hear anything. If she calls you a dirty, stinking whore, you know she likes you. If she does not like you, she will spread stories of how you beat and mistreat her. She yells loudly in the halls at anyone and everyone. She was always one of my favorite people to spend time with. Actually, she was a favorite of many people in the facility.

Back to the dream.

She climbs into bed with me and yells randomly at the other people in the bathroom. We talk a bit, with our heads close together, then she leaves. When she is gone, I begin yelling at the people around me without reason. I don't realize what I am doing until one of them says, "You sound just like her!"

I yell back, " I have had two husbands, three children and I am pregnant with the fourth! I can yell at whoever I want to!"

End of dream.

Jumbled Dreams- Melissa

I have been having all sorts of weird jumbled dreams:

In one I had to go back to work for AB (I think Mike and I were divorced) and ended up as an assistant in Eureka. All these guys from high school kept coming in to tell me they had always been in love with me. (Yuck)

In another I was at M trying to sell a gift card and the computer would not work. It kept freezing up. I was so stressed about it I just started giving the woman bags full of stuff so she would not be mad.

Also had one where Katie, Tricia and I were getting ready to go somewhere. We were at Tricia's house and she had a closet as big as my bedroom. She would not let me use her razor to shave my legs and I was really mad at her. She just would not share! (this is pretty funny, I have never known Tricia to be selfish about anything)

Had one with Anita, she was sobbing, upset about something someone had said to her...never did figure out what it was.

All I remember dreaming about last night was an art project I was trying to prep for. It was a pirate ship with waves in the back ground and the kids made their own designs on the sails. We also made a bunch of gold coins in a treasure box. The coins had their different spelling words on them and I made the kids chant how to spell each word.

The funny thing however is that Matt had a conversation with me when I was sleeping. He tells me it went something like this:

Me: Matt, I like your phone.

Matt: Oh, yeah? Well you can borrow it anytime you like.

Me: Don't be silly. It's old.

Matt: What does my phone look like?

Me: It's antique.

I guess I also told him it was brass, and had things on it. I don't remember telling him this! Haha

Me - Pregnant???? Susie

I dreamed this morning that I was very tired and the reason was that I was pregnant...
I did wake up tired but NOT pregnant!!! Just too much exersize if that is possible!!!
