Weird Dream
02/08/09 11:42
So I had another realistic dream last night. I recall
most of it. Not all of it though.
I am in this big house. Where all these male japanese
stars live on one floor. But they are all self
loathing with little confidence in themselves. They
all want to talk to the female japanese stars who
live on the floor above them, but don't have the
courage to. And don't think they can because the
girls are "out of their league."
I walk up to the next floor where the female stars
live. They are bored with waiting for the male stars
to come up and talk to them, but don't want to go to
them and start the conversation. I head out the fire
escape on the side of the house after chatting with
them for a bit. I sit on the fire escape and stare at
the stars for a little while when I hear some
commotion at the front of the house.
Around the front of the house I see Reggie. He's
picking up some hats that these drunks on the balcony
threw down. Reg, being the nice guy he is, tosses
their hats back up to them. They are drunk and laugh
at him and throw them down to him again. After Reg
collects them I tell him to give them to me. I toss
them over the fence into the woods while the drunks
are all angry and yelling at me. (There is more to
this part of the dream, like I remember thinking I
should do something to their hats, spit on them, burn
them or something. I don't recall if I did. And I
remember, for some reason, that Reg was hanging from
the gutter.)
After Reg and I walk around the driveway to the
sidewalk. It is still night out, and I don't know if
we had roller skates on or the sidewalk was just icy,
I want to say just icy. We start skating down the
side walk (like I said, maybe its just icy, it feels
like skating though), and Colin pops out of another
driveway along with some other guy I can't place. He
seems familiar, but I don't recall his name. We are
skating off ramps and everything. Its fun. I remember
doing something like ollies but with no skate board
in the air.
We go into this cul de sac, with a giant field in the
middle. We stop and start playing lacrosse on the
field. Reggie and I don't have sticks, but we are
using a tennis ball so its not that big of a deal to
use our hands. We're having a good time, the sun
starts to come up and we see the drunks from the
balcony walking to an adjacent field. They are all
hung over. One of the, angry from the night, takes a
swing at either Reg or I (I don't recall). I think I
trip him, or tackle him, or something. We all are
laughing as he slinks off the field and joins his
friends. We go back to playing lacrosse.
They come back (there are four of them as well) and
challenge us to a game of lacrosse. We agree, and
huddle together to make a plan. We are playing on
half a field somehow, like if you play pick up
basketball. They laugh at our planning and try to
disrupt our huddle. So we figure screw it, we'll just
make it up. I have the ball (and a stick now) and
start running cross field towards the net. One of
their guys lowers his shoulders and takes a run at
me. When he gets close I jump up a little and knee
him in the chin. He falls and I keep running towards
the goal (although I distinctly remember how much it
hurt my knee to do that).
Then I wake up. This dream was weird for many
reasons. I haven't seen or spoken to Colin in over a
year. I never played lacrosse outside of gym class in
high school. Skating on icy roads makes no sense. The
drunks on the balcony of the house. The Japanese
people. It is all bizarre. And the moon was really
big during the night. And Reg hanging from the gutter
(I have no clue when that even happened, I just know
it did). And despite how much happened, it all seemed
to link together in a matter of minutes.
And it was really vivid and realistic. The kind of
dream you wake up from not knowing if it was a dream
or not.
