Burger King Runs Out of Food

I was in line for the drive through at Burger King, when all of a sudden the cars started moving through the line quickly. When I got to the window to order, I realized it was because they were saying they weren't taking orders anymore. I got out of my car and went inside to tell them they should have anticipated this and posted earlier that they were almost out of food so I didn't waste all that time in the line before. I got into a yelling match with one of the employees over this, and she hit me. Then she said "you are going to die." I walked over to a phone on the wall so I could call the police and report her for assault and threats but I woke up before anything else happened.

Loki and Cinder

I finished reading The Lunar Chronicles last week, and now I am in the middle of Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. So naturally I would have a dream with Cinder, Thorne, and Loki. Sorry I don't remember a lot of details, but something about trying to figure out what illusions/glamours were real or not.

Burn Notice Again

I had a Burn Notice dream last night, which is unusual because of how long it has been since I haved watched the show. When I was watching the show regularly I had Burn Notce dreams frequently, which makes sense because it was on my mind more often.

Anyways, Mike and Fi were at a house party, and Mike got taken into some type of custody for questioning across the street. He didn't watch like he was supposed to, and there was an explosion. I'm not sure if the explosion  wasn't supposed to happen or if it was just bigger than it was supposed to be, but either way, because he wasn't watching he didn't know if Fi had made it out ok. It was another case of him putting something ahead of Fi, and it hurt him. Fi did make it out ok,  but it was several days before they could meet up so he didn't know.

The Canvas Outhouse Car

I had a dream where my husband traded our Maxima in for a motorized canvas outhouse on wheels for $25,000. I was so mad. First, why would he make a big decision about a car purchase without talking to me? Second, it had to be the most impractical "car" ever. (No windows, only seating for 2, virtually no safety (there were seatbelts but I don't think we were using them, and what would they have done with only a canvas seat back, no steel frame, etc.), and I didn't even consider the smell or sanitation issues until I woke up.) Third, it cost as much as a Nissan Rogue, my current dream vehicle. Why buy such an impractical, ugly, unsafe "car" when you could have a much bigger and nicer car for the same price? We were driving around in it and I just kept yelling at him about the price and how much I hated it. I told him I would never drive it, and if I needed to go somewhere alone and he was going somewhere with our daughter I would take the other car and he could take her in the car seat in the canvas outhouse.

Volcano

I had a dream that my husband and toddler were at a play like Les Miserables with our neighbors and their son. We were sitting in seats that were above the stage, so it was a really weird angle to look over the railing and look down on the play. There was a long delay, and then we heard something about the basement of the theater being on fire, so everyone evacuated. We were in the parking lot, almost to our car, when we looked up and where the theater had been was now an erupting volcano.

Star Wars

Interesting that the week the new Star Wars begins filming I have 2 Star Wars dreams.

In the first one, I was with a big group of people who were being led by Han Solo. We had to convince the Imperials that we were also imperials, though we were not.

In my other dream, Luke Skywalker had a son that he did not know about, and there was dialog something like "You are my father." "No! That's not true, that's impossible."

Dream Date Kareoke

I dreamed last night that I was not married. I think I was dating or engaged to my husband, but he was not in much of the dream, and I knew we weren't married yet. How did I know this?

I went on another mission. Near the end of my mission, I went to a singles ward sacrament meeting and bore my testimony. A young man also bore his testimony, and it was a good strong testimony similar to mine. Afterwards, I thanked him for his testimony. He was obviously impressed with me, because he went to kiss me. I held my hand up to protest, because I was still a missionary, not because I had a boyfriend/fiancee.

A few weeks later, when I was done with this mission, I agreed to go on a date with this young man. There were questions in my mind of "what about Nick?" but I just kept thinking that this was just one date and the young man was so nice and cute, and if I happened to change my mind about which guy I wanted it would be ok.

For the date, we first went to get frozen lemonades. Then he took me to this place where they had kareoke. Only it wasn't the normal pick a song and go sing it type of place. A game was going on where you had to answer trivia before you could go sing. Too bad the trivia was so hard that hardly anyone ever answered one right. After a while of no one singing because no one could get anything right, we (everyone in the room) decided to forego the game and do normal kareoke. I woke up before I could choose a song.

Wrong Roommate

I had a dream last night that I was living in a basement with my siblings, my husband, and my new neighbor. I was sharing a room with my new neighbor and not my husband. When I realized that I had't been cuddling my husband, I was really confused, and wanted to be with him instead.

Nightmares

I had nightmares last night. In the first dream I can remember I was on Taylor Swift's staff. (This dream wasn't necessarily a nightmare, just weird, and I'm not sure when this dream morphed into the next dream, which was a nightmare.) I'm not sure whatmy job was. I would try to help her write songs, but she never liked what I came up with. Then she would overhear me talking and those comments would inspire a line in a song.

Then there was a Romeo and Juliet situation. I was trying to help them get married without their families getting mad. Then Juliet was pregnant and I was still trying to help them get married without anyone hurting them. Then I would walk in and find Juliet hanging, and then walk in again and see someone trying to kill her, and on and on like that. That was the nightmare part, finding this girl dead or nearly so over and over.

And then my baby was there, and we had to cross over this waterway, and there was a bridge but no rails and my baby who can barely crawl couldn't always stay on it and I was afraid she would drown. After that I just couldn't sleep anymore.

Gemical

One of my friends from college was nicknamed Gemical. I haven't seen him for five years. But he appeared in my dreams early this morning.

The first dream, we were at a pool or water park or something. He hugged me (since it has been so long since we saw each other), and jumped. This jump was like a huge leap that took us some distance from where we originally met up. Some girls in one of the pools saw us hugging, and thought we were a couple. They started yelling at us to kiss. We started laughing, because we are both married to other people. Gemical's wife appeared as we were laughing, and I said "you don't mind that this just happened, right? You knew he was crazy silly like this, right?" I actually woke up laughing from that dream.

I went back to sleep, and Gemical was in a commercial for Disneyland. More specifically, I think it was a commercial for a hotel right off the resort so it was cheaper than the Disneyland hotels. It showed people running through a parking lot toward the park. The parking lot and park were right on the ocean. If only Disneyland were that close to the beach! It was beautiful.

Pregnant with 2, but not Twins

The other night I had a dream that I got pregnant when I was already pregnant. So I was pregnant with two babies at the same time, with two different due dates. I was both 23 weeks along and 6 weeks along. (Or something like that.) I am so glad this isn't possible in real life, for so many reasons.

Taylor Swift

Last week I had a dream that I met Taylor Swift. Not at a concert or anything, but walking around town. She was really quirky. She said her producers wanted her to sue someone for copyright infringement for copying one of her songs, but she didn't want to. The dream ended with me giving her relationship advice.

I woke up and told my dad I gave Taylor Swift relationship advice in a dream. He said that would ruin her career, as all she sings about is the breakups.

Apartment Hunting

Last night my dreams all had a theme.

In the first dream I had my husband call up one of my old friends and ask him if we could buy out his apartment lease. I wasn't sure how we'd get his roommates out so we could have the place for just our family. I then realized the apartment was three bedrooms, not two, and what would we need a third bedroom for? Then we reasoned it would be ok because we would probably have two kids by the time we moved out of the apartment.

In my next dream, we went to look at the basement apartment of a coworker who happens to live around the corner from us. He wasn't there to let us in, but it was unlocked so we let ourselves in. The current tenants' things were all over the place. It was one giant room, studio apartment style, but so much bigger than our current apartment. Even without the walls, I wanted it.

I woke up several times in the night, but this dream continued the rest of the night. I kept finding myself back at this home, both in the basement apartment and the main part of the house.

Second Mission

I had a dream last night that I went on a second mission. I was happy to go, but it was a lot harder to not hug guys this time around. I realized I must have gotten really used to it since my first mission.

I was with my companions looking for clothes to wear. Then we were packing for transfers.

I was surrounded by other missionaries in a gym, like a zone conference or transfer meeting or something (maybe transfer meeting, since I had been packing for it), and I really wanted to hug all the elders. At some point I realized I was pregnant, and wondered what they would do with a pregnant missionary. Then I remembered that it was ok because I was married. My husband showed up at the transfer meeting, also on another mission, but we weren't on a couples mission. If I thought it was hard to not hug the other guys, it was nothing compared to how hard it was not to hug my husband. Eventually I gave in and did it anyway, with him sitting in a chair and me standing behind him with my arms around his neck.

Being Bold: At Work, In My Family, In My Faith

I had a lot of vivid dreams last night.

I had a dream I was at work, with the other women at work, only the work we were doing was a little different than the usual legal work we do. We were in teams and had all sorts of projects that we would get points for. Some projects were games, like how many items we could pick up in a certain time period. Others were chores, like baking and doing dishes. We might have had small legal projects, but the other things stood out more prominently in my dream. A male supervisor came in and got on one coworker's case for not doing dishes. I stood up and chewed him out for not treating us the way he treated the men. They got to work on complex murder cases and never had to do dishes. They never got chewed out for not getting things done on time. We got the menial tasks. Afterward, I was really afraid of backlash, but all the women were really proud of what I'd done. A few things changed, but the supervisor was still very dismissive of women and their ideas. One woman had asked about the legality of releasing a prisoner, and he didn't even listen to all that she had to say before telling her it wasn't possible. I chewed him out for that, too. I explained that he was technically correct, but he could have been a lot kinder by listening to everything she had to say and explaining why it wasn't possible right now but how it could be possible in the future. Once again I was afraid of backlash that didn't really come.

I had another dream I was talking to my cousin about her daughter, who had suddenly developed separation anxiety. I hoped that my desire to work part time after having a child won't cause separation anxiety for him or her.

In another dream, I was talking with a couple who had marital and spiritual problems. The husband might have been mad at the wife for having mental health or drug problems. I told the wife that I didn't understand everything she had been through, but that Jesus Christ did. The couple felt the love of God as I said that and we're able to heal. They had two children who had died that they were finally able to be at peace about.

A Mansion and Ghosts

So many strange dreams last night! I can't even remember them all. I know I had dreams of my brother dying. Once was playing football. These dreams made me really sad. I had a dream my parents lived in this huge mansion with a tower. I was staying in the tower because I liked it there. I think it was Christmas. Even though the mansion was in Ventura, CA, it had snowed. My parents were really sad to tell me something, it might have been that I was adopted. Some carolers came to the door. I knew them from night school. My parents invited them in. I didn't want to be seen, but I was on the ground floor level and couldn't make it up the stairs to get back to the tower without being seen. I could make it down the stairs to the basement though. From there I could take the elevator to my tower. The elevator went side to side as well as up and down. I wasn't let off near my room though. I was on the roof, and the snow had melted and there were people everywhere. It was a huge party. My parents were giving away holiday cake pans as party favors. I ran into some mission friends at the party, and we were talking about how on our missions we would hang out and sleep in the tower. (I think that relates back to an earlier part of the dream that I can't remember.) After waking up and telling my husband of that dream, I fell back asleep and had another strange dream. I was in the mansion from the previous dream. I wasn't in my tower, but I was on the second story. To my surprise, there was a door going to the outside which was opened just a crack. Standing outside were a couple of men dressed in clothes from another century who wanted to talk to me. Because I was a little bit freaked out, I said no and closed and locked the door. Then my mom opened the door. They again asked for me, but she told them I wasn't available. The started leaving. I asked my mom what they had wanted to talk to me about, and she said she didn't know. I got curious, and followed them until I caught up with them. Their faces were pale. I figured they were ghosts. I followed them back to an apartment which was full of ghosts. They said they needed my help with the neighboring apartment. It had a bathtub full of poop, and this was a problem for them. They had removed a piece of the wall in the closet so I could get in to the adjoining apartment. I slipped in. In the first room I entered, there were a baby and toddler. In the back room, I saw the parents watching tv with two more babies. I picked up a baby and ducked behind one of the couches so they wouldn't see me. Staying out of sight was harder than I thought it would be, because even though I was behind the couch they were sitting on and they were looking toward the tv, there was a mirror on the wall that I could be seen in. Eventually they discovered me. I told them I was a maid sent by the home owners association. They were happy that's why I was there, and even cleaned up the bathtub on their own.

Babies

The other night I had a dream with several babies in it. Or I had several dreams about babies. In one dream I was holding my cousin's premie baby. I think something was happening where we needed to protect her but I'm not sure what. In another dream, some friends had a baby. I couldn't figure out who the baby looked like, because he didn't seem to look like either one of them. Then I realized the baby had his mom's eyes and his dad's chin. In yet another dream, I was taking care of my visiting teacher's son. I wanted him to go down for a nap because I had work I needed to do. But he wanted to play Duplos (the Legos that are bigger so that younger kids can play with them without the choking hazard). I think I did lay down to cuddle him to sleep, but I don't know of he ever fell asleep.

White Collar and Burn Notice

White Collar met Burn Notice in my dreams last night. They were being filmed in the same area, and it was not New York or Miami. It was a town that must have been really far north because it was really cold there. So cold that there were streams of warm water running through the town in a canal system that people traveled in rather than walking on the roads. Not only were the shows being filmed in the same place, they were using the same actors. They would film one episode of one show, then the main actors would switch out and they would film the other show. I'm not sure what either episode was about. My next dream was all White Collar. Neil lived in a different apartment but was still under house arrest. Sarah was pulling off some scheme. I think they stole a bunch of little stuff from a Walmart type store. I don't know why or how they thought they were going to get away with it though. Sarah was also running some scheme to get guys to buy her lingerie. And this fat girl was in love with Neil and really thought she would have a chance if she could get rid of Sarah somehow.

Encounter with the Police

I had a dream I was running from the police for some reason, I can't remember why. I know I had a handcuff key in my right hand and a couple of manuals in my arm. Maybe I was trying to break someone out of jail or something. Anyway, I was running around with my visiting teaching companion, and one policeman got us in a big conference room. There was a big table and lots of chairs between us. He was focused on me, like he knew I had the handcuff key or something. He tried shooting me with his taser a few times, but I was too far away, even with the little wires that shoot out of the taser. Finally he got me, but it really didn't hurt. In fact, I could barely feel it. While I was being tased, my visiting teaching companion escaped out of the room and down to a lower level of the building. I also managed to put the handcuff key in my pocket, hoping it wouldn't be found. I don't think it was the policeman talked to me for a minute, then was ready to let me go. And that's when he started hitting on me. He asked if he could see me in December to go to a promenade. At first I was confused, then realized what he was asking me. I told him he'd see me in court if this incident led to a hearing, but I don't know if I'd see him again outside of that. He didn't seem too let down, and even still had some hope that I'd change my mind and go out with him. I went off to find my visiting teaching companion. She had been attacked with water balloons filled with paint, but had either dodged them all or was already cleaned up. We walked through the mall, hoping we would blend in enough with everyone else there to get to where we wanted to go.

Forgetting the Dead

I had a really disturbing dream last night. My brother was dead. And the worst part about it? I forgot he had died. I thought it had just been a while since I had seen him. And then I realized he was dead and had to mourn for him all over again. Lots of tears and everything. And of course I felt worse for forgetting that I had already gone through this. When I woke up I had to figure out if he was really still alive.
