Realistic: Watching Football

I had a dream that my husband and I were at my parent's house, watching football. Not too exciting, especially compared to the past few dreams, and it probably accurately depicts what will be happening when we head home for Christmas for a few weeks. I then woke up and went back to sleep and dreamed some incoherent stuff.

Variations on an Apartment (aka Dreams of a Frenzied Mind)

Studying does strange things to my dreams. Maybe because I'm trying to process so much in so little time.

Anyways, one dream, I was cleaning my apartment with my little brothers. There was this giant rat/mouse/rodent (almost a ROUS) that somehow kept getting in and living above one of the windows. Joel took it outside twice, and the third time I chased it out with a broom. I think it kept sneaking back in when I'd go outside to check the fuse box. (The fuse box really did have to be checked several times last night, prompting that part of the dream.) I swear I woke up to something furry going across my face.

In another dream, the apartment had the same layout but was expanded to be bigger and had an upstairs bedroom loft, so my whole family could move in.

In yet another dream, a house had a similar layout, only now I wasn't part of my family. I wasn't me, I was someone else, a rebellious daughter whose parents had separated. I lived with my dad and siblings (not real ones, dream ones), and kept sneaking out with this car to drive across these fields to where my dream mom lived. I wanted to get my parents back together. There was this roller coaster track that kept close around the house that I couldn't seem to cross. Then one of my dream older siblings (b/c I don't have real older siblings) brought home this guy who was perfect for me. (And he's nothing like my husband in real life, who really is perfect for me.)

I also may have had a dream (or it may have been part of one of the above dreams) about trusts... Stupid studying taking over my dreams.

So there you have it, lots of dreams in the space of not much time.

NCIS (Ok, Mostly Abby and McGee)

My dream last night was definitely NCIS - at least Abby and McGee. They were working together and were attracted to each other (as usual - in the show they often get jealous when the other one has the possibility of dating someone else). McGee was trying to woo Abby again (after not really trying for several seasons) and finally just asked her what he could do. She responded that he should stop trying so hard.

Anyways, the case they were working on had this family with two little girls. I don't know why Abby was there investigating, because she almost never shows up at crime scenes. And I don't really remember any of the rest of the NCIS team there. But whatever. I'm not sure what they were originally investigating. One of the little girls may have claimed to be haunted by a ghost or something. Not sure why that would warrant an NCIS investigation. And I don't know what the Navy connection was. Anyway, they started investigating this family somehow, and then they realized that the mom was on welfare because she said the dad died in a fire, but in reality he was a pilot and still lived with the family. Welfare fraud! Why is this on my mind? I turned that paper in 10 days ago!

Ok, there actually is an NCIS episode where everyone thinks the dad died in a fire and so the mom collects VA benefits from his death, but in that episode no one knew he was still alive.

Smart Phone and Funeral

Yesterday I saw my friend's new smart phone and asked her how she liked it. Apparently it prompted my dream. (I don't have a smart phone.)

In my dream, I had a smart phone. I don't remember what it was being used for, but it was there, and it was good and fun and exciting and whatever smart phones are supposed to be.

It was also my uncle's funeral in my dream. And of course in the dream it was nothing like it was in real life. In the dream it was in a two story chapel. And before it a bunch of my cousins and I were meeting up at the temple.

Not a bad dream, just unexpected. (But are any dreams really expected? Besides the ones I have all the time? (like Burn Notice, Disneyland, etc.))

Power Rangers

I haven't watched Power Rangers in years. Yet I have some vague memories of what it was like. Each Power Ranger had a different color, no one knew their identities, they fought with martial arts, and they had a secret base where they could take off their helmets but not the rest of their uniforms.

In my dream, their secret base was at a house or hotel that was at the top of a hill. It had an outside pool, and no fence. How could this be their base? Anyone could walk up the hill to the pool and find them. Inside, there was a big dinning room table, and one of the Rangers had written a bunch of notes on sticky notes and stuck them all under the table.

In my dream the Power Rangers also had crystals that gave them their powers. (This may or may not have been part of the show, I don't remember.) They could wear their crystals when they weren't in their suits and still have their powers. And they could teleport. (Also may or may not have been part of the show.) The Pink Ranger's parents were going to vacation in Hawaii, so all of the Power Rangers were going to go too. They were just going to teleport over. The Pink Ranger crafted her crystal into a belly button jewel so it could be seen when she was on the beach wearing a bikini. 

First Amendment Superpowers

I had a dream where the First Amendment gave people superpowers. Not that they were able to think and speak freely and clearly and be understood. Superpowers like telekinesis, flying, and changing the molecular structure of things. And someone was going to use these powers for evil. Several of my law professors who could use these powers were gathering together to see if good could overcome evil.

And it may have been at an amusement park. (Haven't had one of those dreams in a while, they used to happen all the time.)

Trial Competition Preparedness

This week I have a trial competition at law school. Last night Nick was helping me work on my opening statement and one of my witness direct examinations. So then I dreamed that Nick is my partner in the competition, and I panicked because we haven't worked on his closing statement yet. Grateful to wake up and realize my real partner is more prepared than my dream.
