Its a grand estate

So this last nweek I've been nannying for a family in my stake. 3 kids, 13 year old girl, 6 year old boy, and a 4 year old girl. We've had our rough patches, and I've been going to bed between 9:30 and 10 PM, and waking up between 5:30 and 6, but its been mostly good.

So my first dream has to do with that. It was mostly a dream of me getting the house ready for the parents to get home (which is happening tonight in real life). I was frantically picking up all the princess, and Lego Star Wars toys. Then the Dad got back and I realized I hadn't gotten all my stuff together yet. But his wife wasn't back yet so I had some time to pack up. It was a pretty normal life dream, but it made the next one even more wonderful.

So in the next dream I was heading down to Salem with my dear friend Tracee to go visit her family. (In reality I was at her house once as a small child but I only remember the back yard) So we pull up to this mansion of sorts, more like an estate, much like Downton Abbey. It was huge, and awesome. So we vistied there for a while, but then we were invited to someone else's house. It was someone I apparently knew, like a random distantly related aunt (which is hilarious because I have plenty of real aunts down in Salem). So we go to her huge house and I start chatting it up with her charming nephew. He was super handsome, and drove his aunt nuts, which was very entertaining for me. We were hitting it off really well, which was not going over very well with his aunt. So it was kind of turning into a Sense & Sensibility type, with some Downton Abbey stuff because she had taken this weird ceramic floral wreath that was my grandmother's and I should actually have it. So then I was super upset about that, and this new gentlemen caller of mine was being super nice, and there were whispers of marriage (apparently Tracee and I were there for a few weeks).

And he was in the middle of telling me something really important when I woke up to...

a 4 year old girl tell me she had a nightmare and wanted to watch Madagascar Penguins movie.

True story. I don't ever remember having an awesome dream and then waking up in the middle of it because my alarm went off or something to that affect. It was rough. What this dream tells me though is that I've been watching way too many Barbie Princess movies, and the teenager talks about me getting married a lot. But I will say, he was one handsome man.

Dark Night

A few weeks ago I had a serious of pretty disturbing nightmares.

First off I was standing in our entryway talking to my parents and brother. I went to go lock the front door when this large man busts in yelling at us all that he's going to rob us. This was scary enough, but then he pulls a gun on me. It is here I wake up with a start, hyperventilating. True story. I couldn't back to sleep for a good long while. This was mostly weird because I don't typically remember nightmares, let alone wake up from them.

Nightmare number 2. So its Chinese New Year, I'm home alone, and I become subject to something called the spinster flame. Apparently its a custom (in my dream world) to set huge scary dragon fireworks at a house that an young single girl lives. Oh also its mean spirited. So they start letting off the fireworks and this huge dragon comes at the house. Much like what you'd see in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. And naturally the house catches fire. And again, that's when I woke up again.

That last dream was mostly a nightmare because it was a Breaking Dawn dream...

Yeah I just finished rereading Breaking Dawn so it kind of made its way into my dreams. I was a werewolf I think. Kicking it at the Cullen's while Bella was big and pregnant. I'm not super proud of the dream, I'll admit.

I'm hoping for a better batch in the near future.

A Scary Match

So I've spent a better part of the last few days playing Tiny Tower on my iPod. Its great. Mostly because everything is so cute and tiny. I also started reading Matched last night. Which is another LDS young adult author. But so far its WAY better than Twilight. So part of Tiny Tower is giving people jobs and there are these number associated with their skill set in different areas, like food, retail, service, and so forth. Matched is a book about a society where they pick your "match" or future spouse as it were. You too are placed in jobs based on your skill set. So basically I had this weird dream where the characters in Matched were getting jobs in my Tiny Tower. It was quite odd.

Also for the record I'm kind of on team Xander, for anyone who understands that.

I also have a dream that I feel fair in blaming entirely on Nat. I was watching this really strange video of Saved by the Bell where Zach Morris gets to class late and is super confused because it an ASL class. It was super amusing because it was SO 90s. It was also really quick but I thought Nat would find it funny.

Also something to know about my life. We do family scripture and prayer every morning before my Dad goes to work and Jack goes to school. But because of my employment status as of now I usually go back to bed afterwards. So today when I was falling asleep again I had this super freaky dream where I was playing mini golf with my friends Katie and Maren. After the game we are walking around what appears to be a amusement park or fair. Katie decides to go to the haunted house and later comes running out in a crazed state. Maren and I go to her and try to calm her down and all she can say is "Look at the clock" She we walk over the the haunted house which is located on Hell St. and look at the clock. All I see is some weird image by the clock before I hear this loud noise.  In reality my phone was ringing. But it really mad me jump. Also it was Tucano's Brazilian Grill wanting to know if Divine Comedy wanted to schedule their Christmas party. I'm still not away from it I guess.

Gobble Gobble

Ok the title is misleading. I have no Turkey or Thanksgiving themed dream to share.

I did however have a Justin Bieber dream about a week ago. I was a spy working under cover at the Costco (hello Chuck). Things are going well enough until my cover is blown, or something to that affect, and we have a shoot out of sorts. My team arrives and we're shooting up the place, it was crazy stuff. But the most entertaining part for me was the fact that Justin is there, and is completely useless. I spend most of the time yelling at him to pull himself together. It brought me great joy.

But just the other night I had an epic dream. It was a LOST, HUNGER GAMES, MAD MEN, HARRY POTTER mash up. So Peeta and I are stranded on this island with a bunch of other couples. But also Don Drapper, and Dobby and Kreacher. And possibly Jack Shepard. And this really bad storm is coming in. So we all cram in this house and start to bundle up, because according to one person on the island its the cold that will kill you, apparently not the drowning. So I'm putting on about 5 socks while Don bundles up Kreacher and Dobby in plastic bags to keep them dry. Oh whats that? That's a TERRIBLE idea. Yeah no kidding. Not only does Kreacher dye, but Don gets knocked out by a fallen tree will he was outside with the little elves. I woke up while we were all still trying to find him.

So what did I get from all this?

I watch too much TV, and read too much HP and Hunger Games. Having a week off work may not have been the best idea.

Adventure's in dream wolrd

So I've had a few strange dreams over the last few days.

The first of which were set in Provo. First I'm starting up a new history class. Its with my favorite teacher, Dr Skabelund, and its the most vague description of a class ever. Its basically World History, no timeline whatsoever. As the class begins I realized its more like Wars of World History. And we had a ton of reading for the class. Then all of a sudden I'm kind of teaching or TAing the class. It was very odd. Then I'm out of class and wondering Provo with Mariah. We make our way to Park Plaza to see the new renovations they had done. The apartments had become mostly kitchen and bathroom, I couldn't see a bedroom anywhere. It was very odd. Also we kind of broke into an apartment to see them, ops.

Last night I had a wedding/Twilight dream. Yes I was upset too. Apparently my mind is psyched about the Breaking Dawn movie. It started off in my old house and I'm Bella, and all the Cullens are sitting around the house. I'm having to get all packed for the honeymoon. And all I'm packing is make-up (what does that really say about me?) Also for some reason I take hair mascara (I think I've been watching too many 90s shows (Power Rangers, All That, and Clarissa Explains it All)) and make my bangs black, very fetching. Then I'm in a very puffy wedding dress in some large house. But Edward is gone and now I'm marry one of my friend's cousins or something. And Mike is there setting up the Love Story he did for us (I think watching his latest one on Facebook sparked this part). The rest of the dream I'm walking around this large house checking on decorations, and my hair and make-up.
It was a weird one for sure. I hope my real wedding is nothing like this.

Until Next Time,

Hunger Games

So in reality I've started a new book, Beautiful Creatures. Which according to my friend Julie is like Twilight but set in the South, the main character is a boy, and its better than Twilight. So far so good. There is a sequel to the book and thats where my dream picks up.

For some reason my family is shopping at the Beaverton Mall, Cider Hills Crossing, or whatever its called, and there's a Walmart across the street. So we all head over to the Walmart. I end up finding the sequel and go to get in line to buy it. Well the line to buy things is ridiculously long, I means a few times around the building long. So I eventually give up because I've got to head over to practice. Practice for what you may ask. Oh just a little movie called the Hunger Games! I'm not Katniss or anything, to be honest I'm not sure who I was suppose to be. I was doing some physical training in the arena they built for the film and I was running and climbing with the actors who are playing Katniss and Peeta. It was so much fun.

I wish that dream was true. With my new dark hair I'd be an awesome Katniss, or maybe Madge. I could do that. All in all it was a fantastic dream.
