Defending Religion

So I had a strange combo dream that I think had something to do with Mad Men and Sister Wives. Yes strange combo indeed.  It first starts off in some cafe where I'm meeting Peggy (from Mad Men), so obviously we're in the 60s and I helped arrange this meeting so the father from Peggy's church (yes the one who is really just Collin Hanks) can meet with her and make her feel terrible about herself.  So we're having that awkward conversation for a while, but then Collin disappears and my parents are there and its modern time again.  And I'm attempting to defend the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to my parents, who appear to not be Mormon. I was trying, and failing to explain the Book of Mormon, and the Joseph Smith translation of the Bible. They were not being very nice about any of it.  It was an awful dream.

So first off I'm glad my parents are indeed members, and that I don't have to explain myself to them.  Second, I feel like watching an episode of Sister Wives has given me better comebacks when people play the polygamy card. And thirdly, I want Mad Men to come back so I stop  making up new story lines.

Hopefully some Downton Abbey will fill the void.

Dating

So its a regional YSA conference this weekend. I went to the dinner and dance last night, but didn't last the whole time. But the whole thing sparked an interesting dream.

So in the dream I met a guy at this YSA activity, he gets my number and we eventually start dating. He's a good looking guy, but something is off about him. He's a complete tool! Like really mean. And in the dream it comes out I kind of always date jerks. Which even in dreams isn't a good thing.

So what I take away from this is I don't want to date jerks, and I hope my friends tell me when and if I do. Because I will have none of it!

Maybe all these crystal balls can help me avoid this...

Moving

So I had a super vivid dream last night of me moving out of my apartment in Provo and heading towards home. Apparently New York was not in the picture in this reality. So my family is helping me move, and the Simnitts are helping me move (so apparently it was also sophomore year). At one point I go to the bookstore to say hi to Mariah and I come across this super attractive guy (tall, blond, blue eyes). We strike up a conversation and we're obviously interested in each other, problem, I leave the next day. So then I'm talking to Mariah about whether or not we think he's LDS (apparently the fact we met at BYU wasn't enough) and whether or not I should try to see if this is worth trying out.

Then we jump to a date of sorts we're on and there's a lot of flirting, almost hand holding, almost kissing, but never really doing it. Then its the next morning and both our parents are packing us up and we have to say a SUPER awkward goodbye. Jack appeared to be a few years younger, and more annoying, then he is now. And this mystery man's siblings were all super young and running around. So we're finally almost alone and he's about to kiss me and his dad pops up and says "remember no kissing' in this family!" Excuse me? Really? The guy is a returned missionary. I was so mad in the dream. And then I got in the car, never to see mystery hot boy ever again. I can't even get a man in my dreams anymore. Rough.

I blame the book I'm currently reading, Beautiful Darkness. Its the second in a series and the main guy is trying to find the first love of his life, who wants nothing to do with him, but he finds another girl he really cares about and he's all confused and junk. Blah, blah, blah, teen angst.

This picture has nothing to do with the post, I just miss my dc peeps.

General Conference

Sorry its been almost a month. I've been super busy with graduation just around the corner and haven't had many dreams that would interest anyone really.

So background first. For my church history class we've been reading the Gordon B Hinckley biography. Its already caused problems as I keep trying to call President Monson, President Hinckley. Anyway, its been a really good read. And I think the most recent chapter I read, about he getting called into the 1st presidency, sparked last nights dream.

We're sitting in the conference center, my family that is, and my Father is elsewhere for some reason. Then we realize he's been called as a general authority of some sort. But he keeps coming back to sit with us for a time, wearing jeans. Actually we were all wearing jeans, and the meeting never seemed to stop. And they had food venders walking around. It was more like the Marriott Center than the conference center. Super weird.

The Beaverton Stake Center Presents...

So Another EPIC dream last night. I'm pretty sure it was sparked by hanging out with Caitlin last night and showing Uno Face to some people.

So I'm at the stake center and there are chairs set up facing a new stage and up walks Lady Gaga to play a piano recital of sorts. But then she got offended that people weren't really into it so she got off the stage and asked other people to play. So Haley got up and started playing a beautiful piece. Then off a little ways from me is this kid who was in my ward sophomore year and he is talking to the dad from Psych who is apparently his manager. And apparently this kid had secretly been in love with me since we met and he was freaking out that i was at the concert that he was also to play at. So he needed a volunteer and he happened to "pick at random" my seat. So I went up and he confessed his undying love for me and I got all weird and giggly and then all of a sudden I confess that I use to date Joe Jonas... yeah I'm pretty sure I had a Jonas (as in their TV show) dream. I also forgot to mention Tyler and Katie, as well as most of her family were in attendance with Haley and I. Pretty fantastic dream. Sadly I woke up with no Jonas nor a fantastic pianist. Alas

A reorganization of the church? and Chuck

So a few gems over the last week or so.

First off was a slightly blasphemous dream. Its general conference and my whole family is on the stand, like where the 70 sit. We're sitting there and they are calling out the new callings in the church. Ever famous Mormon was getting called, including Donny and Mary Osmond and Gladys Knight. And my mom was briefly head of all seminary. Which I'm thinking is suppose to be head of CES, which I'm going to venture to say has to be a man in the real world. As fake as it was it was pretty exciting.

The next one was this weird me working at Target and Chuck hybrid. So I'm working at Target but for one day only we dressed it up like a Best Buy, our uniforms and all. It was super weird. And some how characters of Chuck were involved. Don't ask.

Last night was the real kicker. So I'm Sarah from Chuck, and Chuck and I are chasing Shaw into a Buy More. And shooting, there was a lot of shooting. When we got inside Chuck's sister, Ellie, and brother-in-law Captain Awesome there, and Awesome got shot. So I, along with Ellie ran him outside and I gave them my belt, along with Morgan and Casey's belt, to use as a tourniquet. I guess my dream world still remembers her Girls Camp first aid training. In the end of the dream we finally killed Shaw, well I assume. I woke up, and I usually win in dream world.

Also my 2 readers. I'm working on a new blog post with Mike for the DC webpage. Look at for it!

Scattered

So last night I had a lot of scattered dreams. One in which my aunt Donna was in my apartment with this guy from her ward, Mark, in reality the two of them have gone a multiple dates. In the dream they were having a really awkward conversation. Apparently dream Alex likes to be in very uncomfortable situations. So they continued to slightly argue and such. Then I had a dream I was in the temple to get my endowments taken out. Then all of a sudden I was endowed, apparently it is a very quick process, haha. And then I was turning in mission papers all of a sudden, to head out in January. It was super bizarre. I was just running all over the place last night, kind of strange.
