:: Life when I'm asleep ::

:: Saturday, October 26, 2002 ::

I was in the house I grew up in, and I had to house sit for a family who lived down the street something I have never done before for them. I walked down the street to the house and walked up to the door and realized that the door was open. I considered that they hadn't left yet, but realized they had to have. I walked in and didn't find anyone till I went upstairs. There was a group sitting on the floor having a chant or discussion of some sort. I asked what they were doing there and they said they had permission. I was skeptical, but I had no way to disprove them. I went through the rest of the house to make sure everything was ok. I went back down to a sunroom type area to wait for them to leave. A guy came in and sat down next to me. We talked as the house which was behind us filled with people. I suddenly realized I was topless.. not even a bra, and my pants and underwear were down below my knees. for some reason I leaned into the guy for a kiss, and he suggested I put my clothes back on for how would it look if someone walked in on us. I said I didn't care and kissed him.

I was driving to the beach in my car. There was someone in the road near the beach directing traffic where to park. I was able to park very close to the beach which I was glad for. I grabbed my stuff and started walking. Once I got on the beach I was amazed by all the people. I put down my towel on a spot far away from the water, and as soon as I settled in my sister joined me. We talked for a while, but then I had to go upstairs so I got up and left. I knew she'd be along soon. I went into the kitchen and started searching for something. Two boys walked in, one younger one older and apparently my brothers. They were arguing about something and told me to hurry up. more family members walked in including an elderly uncle. It was discovered we were out of a few key ingredience and we all had to go to the store. So we left and were in the store. My brothers ran off somewhere and I was with my uncle. We got what we needed and waited in line. The person in front of us was buying parlement cigarettes. The cashier ID'd him, then took the id and the cigarettes to another cashier who signed the packages. My uncle was getting more and more impaitient about the wait and apparently was demended because he started going on about the strangest things. I quietly backed away, found my older brother and told him to get our parents to do something about it and then I went outside. It was a quite sunny moring. I was in downtown biddeford, and there was no traffic which was a little odd, but I didn't think much of it. I wanted to cross the road to explore a little bit.. so I started to cross, but I wanted to do something cool to get to the other side. Not sure what I wanted to do, but it ended up being a sumersault/roll kind of deal. I couldn't stand up as quickly as I wanted to, and I was a little annoyed with myself - and even more annoyed at the boys who were on bicycles laughing at me. I stood up stright and dusted off my faux fur black duster coat and went after them saying I had ment to do that. They jeered at me. One boy said that he NEVER messes up.. and he stood on his bike with one foot on the seat to prove it. I got pissy at his attitude, so I pushed him, and ducked into a crack in the wall. At this point I realized I was missing the thanksgiving day parade. I was very upset and realized Id never make it home in time to see the end of it, so I started looking around for a tv. I was in an office type situation, and there wasn't one, so I went upstairs, past the display of nylons in packages hung from peg hooks, around a corner and saw something that looked like it might be a tv, but it wasn't. I turned around and went down another set of stairs only to find a dead end with a box with a little three week old black kitten in it. I picked her up and cuddled her and told her Id return her to her siblings.

I was a new teacher in an old gothic looking school. It was dark out and I was getting a tour from an older woman.. bordering on elderly. She was showing me around when I saw a flash of light. It lasted but only a second and I looked at the woman and asked what it was. She did not know what I was talking about. The flash seemed to have come from down a hallway, so I moved to look down the hallway. There were large windows on one side and classrooms on the other. The flash happened again, only this time lasted longer. I realized that night had turned to day. I looked out the windows and saw all the details of the courtyard. I was still amazed when i felt a tug on my shirt. A young boy of 13 with sandy blond hair was urging me to hurry up or we were going to be late. I called him jessie and asked him what we were going to be late for. I asked him if it was math class.. he just gave me a blank look. I tried asking if it was english, again no responce. I asked what kind of classroom it was, and he said it was a lab class. I asked if it was science, and again he urged me to hurry up. We went into the classroom and there was an old prim woman sitting behind a desk which was in the corner of one room. All the desks in the room were angled to face her desk. She immediately started yelling at me for being late. Jessie had been able to sneek in properly and I didn't want her yelling at him anyway. I wasn't sure why till she threated magic on me to teach me a lesson. She started conjuring up something awful, and I waved my hand and threw it back at her. The kids were stunned and the teacher was furrious. She stood up on her chair and started another spell, but again I waved it off and jumped up on her desk and kicked her in the face.

someone threw something on the window of the room I was in. there was a lot of it. I was confused. a clear voice near me said that it was time to either clear up the chip beef and toast or to put out the alarm (which IRL was going off cause the hubby needed to wake up)

I was at home, but I had to leave. I was going to another house to live for a bit. I went to the house.. it was a red white striped with blue with white stars with two successively larger barns behind it that had been converted into the house. I walked in and looked around. In the front of the house it was painted royal blue. I thought it was really pretty and called over the hubster to see what he thought about it to do in our house. He wasn't sure of it, so I told him to sit in it a little bit while I continued to look around. I went into a room near the blue sitting room, and found a bed with a small boy sleeping in it. I was very confused, and quietly shut the door and went back towards the blue room and called the hubby over. I asked about the boy, and was told there were two. I looked confused, and he pointed to another room that contained a bed and a liittle girl. I shook my head and continued to look around. I went to the back of the house where there was another sitting room that over looked a lake. I fell in love with the view. I tried to determine how close the water got to the house but it was dark and I couldn't see for sure. It seemed like it came right up to the window. A speed boat and a canoe went by as I was looking, then the house started to move. i went out the door I came in and saw the house actually did move but that side of the house was still on dry land. I went back into the house and I was then blamed by the owners who had come back for moving the house. I told her I couldn't have possibly done it, but they kept on it.. I explained it wasn't possible.. there was a crowd around us now. The woman said there was one way to settle this, and we headed downstairs. as I entered the door to go downstairs, I realized there wasn't protection from being pushed off the landing - which then someone tried to push me off, but I was able to get away, and went back into the main sitting room. I sat down stunned. Someone came over to me and I went off on them saying someone tried to push me down the stairs. I was told that wasnt possible - having my words thrown back in my face - so I stood up and attacked the person who was making fun of me. a few other people joined in, and I fought them all. I saw my father come in, and I broke away from the fight and ran towards him, there was a box in the way and I stepped on it to jump into his arms and hug him tight. I was worried about him (cause my father had major surgery a few years ago and has never been the same) but he assured me he was fine.

I went back to work for the place I was laid off from after they were back on their feet. I was knowledgeable about the operation - but I was a little unsure about the new employee structure, so I spent some time with an old collegue learning about the new structure and the new stuff they implemented. People continued to walk by us and say hi and what not. I had to feed my kittens so at lunch time I went to the lunch room. I opened up a box of dry kidney bean and shrimp mix. The instructions said to mix it with hot water and blend. But it wasn't becoming small enough, so I felt that I needed to mash it up in my mouth. I spooned some in and chewed tying not to get any shrimp, but I did, and I gagged, and tried to spit it out, but it felt like I had a mouth full of sand. I eventually got it all out and went back to work. But the guy I was sitting with had to leave for the day, so I walked him out. He introduced me to a few other people and we made it outside where it was raining.. he ran to his car, I ran to mine.

i had traveled with some "friends" to be with a girlfriend on her wedding day. She and I went to work out. We were both new to working out in a gym, so we were giggling and laughing, and neither one of us really wanted to be there. After a few minutes on the treadmill, we sat down on them and I suggested we go out for ice cream. My friend quickly agreed and went off to get showered and changed. I sat there and saw myself as my doctor would see me in there, and knew what she'd think, So I stood up and continued to exercise, even trying it with out the power on.. but I had a hard time keeping my balance trying to walk and swing the arm pieces. after a good long work out, I walked back to be with my friend. Unfortunately the husband to be had died in a freak accident, so we were all sitting around trying to consol the bride to be. We were sitting in someone's basement, and her daughter suggested they go out and get some pizza for us. The daughter ordered us one slice of pizza. We wasted time by sitting in a booth in the basement with a window in it. We were making faces at our friends through the window I left the room for some reason, and heard the woman come back. She put the slice of pizza - cheese with sesame seeds - on the bar. I took it and ran into the now empty booth. I held it up to the window to tease the rest of the party, but when someone turned the light on in the booth I saw that the window was covered up. I took a bite of the pizza, and went back to the bar area, and put the slice back. Everyone complained that one slice would not be enough. The woman who brought it was appalled, and said she told her daughter to make sure she ordered enough. The group decided to go out and get some more pizza. They ended up at an air field strip pizza place. walking toward it, I complained that I would have rather eaten where the sesame pizza came from.. but I was told by my friend that I was out voted. By the time I got there, the booth they were taking up was full. I stood there and I was laughed at a little, and told I could go eat with joey.. a kid who didn't like other people around him. I went off to the other side of the shop and sat in a big pine booth stained a deep brown that was almost black with age and use. Three guys were having a white only contest. One of them was going to eat up a crumb on the table, but his friend reminded him only stuff as white as rice should pass his lips. I turned around and laughed at them, and asked them what were the color of their utensils. The guy on the end was holding them under the table asked why. I explained that if only white stuff should pass his lips, and knowing the utensils of this place, they had already lost. They tried to argue with me, but I had to go as my party was done eating. We were walking back across the field, when everyone was gathered around my friend trying to console or distract her. I could see it was overwhelming, so I stopped her, and stood between her and everyone else and told them to go back home, and that she - who by this time had morphed into cassie winslow from TV - would be back when she was ready. Everyone reluctantly turned and left. I stood there for a few moments to make sure, gave cassie the lead to her dog, and walked off. I met up with cassie in the bathroom a few minutes later. She thanked me for giving her some time, and asked me to watch her dog while she went pee. I held on to his collar, but he wanted to explore. He found some pictures on the table particularly interesting, and tried to chew on them. I pulled him off as cassie came out of the stall. I gave her back her dog, and walked out and went back outside. I went exploring. When I got back to the group cassie was crying again. I asked what was wrong, and someone started to tell me but cassie then wailed that not only her husband was dead, but now her dog was too. I asked what happened, and was told he ate something he shouldn't have. I asked if it was photographs, and was told it was. When asked how I knew, I explained about the bathroom. cassie then asked me if I wouldn't go get her dead dog bones so she could have a proper burial. I agreed and asked where they were. I was told they were at a vets near where he died. I was given a business card and given bad instructions, but I figured Id find it so off I went. I was walking across a parking lot looking for my car. I saw a group of men being rowdy and disruptive. One was being egged on by the group. He started pulling on a chain link fence, and dragging it off the poles and behind him to who knows where. I called out to them, and they seemed embarrassed to be caught... then very unhappy about it. I kept going towards a look out station, so they backed off and went away. I kept looking for my car, and when I finally found it the top was down and there was a rather large dog in the car, along with some metal thing that looked like a music stand. When I opened the door, the metal object slid out the door a bit. I pushed it back in and climbed in and slammed the door. which caused the baby kittens to wake up and start screaming. I sighed, turned the car on and put it in gear. I immediately fell into a ditch. the headlights were inside the ditch. The car alarm started going off, the dog was barking, the kittens were screaming, and I looked out my window to see the men were laughing at me. I calmly took stock of the situation, put the car in reverse, and backed out of the ditch. I backed up as much as I could, and swung the car out left of the ditch and drove out. I drove toward the gate, where sam waterstern was watching the gate. I thought Id ask him for directions, but he was clueless. I gave him the card, and he started babbling. An SUV came up behind me, and rear ended me. I looked and it was one of the guys. I knew he'd do it again if I didn't get out of there, so I drove off with out the card. I knew a few facts.. go out on to maple, turn right stay on the middle lane till it ends, turn, and it was a few buildings up. I turned right on to maple, and thought how weird this was cause we came down maple to get there, and I remembered it being very short. as I was driving up it, the right lane all too quickly merged with the center lane due to a bridge. There was no safety precautions so if someone wasn't careful, they would have driven right off the road and fallen off the side of the bridge. I got to the end, and had the feeling I was inside a strip mall. I couldn't remember if I was to turn left or right here, so I went left to look around. The instructions said it wasn't too far after the turn, so I was again sure I could find it. I took my car down a runway, and stopped and got out. The car disappeared, and I was totally unworried about that. I was in a bridal salon. I was working my way out, when I saw a girl of about 10-12 sitting on the floor in a home made halloween costume. She was a street beggar with no legs. As I walked around her to get out, I really couldn't see where the lower half of her body was (from the waist down) I walked through another room where a sales lady was showing pins to a customer and she wanted her to look at a bumble bee pin out of a long narrow almost board game type box. I walked through another door and was back out to the "street" I looked around to see if I could find the place. I thought I did so I started walking towards it.
