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.

Oui Madame

So I had this terrifying dream that I was back in my High School French class. And just like in real life, I could remember nothing. To make matters worse I'm pretty sure my brother was in class with me. It was pretty much my worse nightmare. Not having Jack in the class, just having to take French again. I understand ASL so much better. I should probably practice that again. But back to the class. The teacher kept asking me questions that I couldn't answer, and she was giving me the worst disappointed face in the world. I was a failure all over again.

But on a more happy note. a few night ago I has yet another Harry Potter dream. This time it was right after He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named had fallen. And Me (Hermione), Ron, Harry, and some other order members head to the Malfoy's for protection detail because everyone hates them. Not really sure why we had to protect them, but they weren't making it easy.

Also I had a very enjoyable birthday this last weekend. It was super low key, but thats better sometimes.

Until Next Time,
Sweet Dreams

So I got the Quiditch Lego set for my birthday, which inspired me to pull out this gem again.

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.

Just Deal With It

So its been quite a while. Sorry. I haven't really felt up to writing. But I've got a few gems.

About a month ago I had this really weird dream. So the dream starts off with us getting ready, and then sending Maddy off to school. Then all of a sudden my parents are talking about moving to Utah. Which of course I assumed they were kidding. But then Dad has got himself transferred to the Salt Lake VA, and we're moving there. Our house was huge! and really close to a bunch of little shops, so it seemed like a nice area. Then all of a sudden its two years later and we want to move back to Portland. So we go to our house there, but people are living in it. Pretty much everything in my room is the same apart from the bedding. And Dad has to do some clever talking to get us back in the house. It was super weird. Mostly because I know my Mother would NEVER want to move to Utah.

Another quick one. I had a dream I had gotten a nose job when I was probably 13. It was really strange and now I'm paying more attention to my nose.

Then last night I had a dream in which I can only assume was out of solidarity with poor Jack who started school today. So I dream that something went wrong the year I graduated from High school and that my entire class had to do another semester at Wilson High School. I still had my college degree but had to go back to high school. So that was weird enough but the people who wanted to hang out with me at lunch were these people I've known forever (many since Elementary school), but haven't really been friends with on a good 10 years. I don't remember attending any classes, mostly I has just going to my locker and eating lunch. I'm so glad that phase of my life is done!

Well now that I'm still unemployed I'll try to be better at writing. I've got to keep myself busy now that all my sibling are back at school.

Until Next Time,
Sweet Dreams.

Pottermen

Ok so this one started out like many of my Harry Potter dreams. We were in the battle of Hogwarts, I was following Ron and Harry. Fred kept almost dying, professors were frantically protecting kids. And then I follow the men back to Hogshead. We're talking to Aberforth and he leads us to the roof, but now Ron and Harry are gone and Maddy is there. And Aberforth is now Storm, of the X-Men. So these deatheaters/bad mutants are trying to find Maddy and I, but we're invisible, but Storm can still see us. And the bad mutant also controls the weather, but only cold fronts, so it starts getting really cold. Storm tells Maddy and I to run back downstairs and hide. So naturally we go to the couch and throw a blanket over ourselves and I take a nap. Storm defeats the Storm-man and then comes downstairs with his sidekick. There was some arguing of some sort, and then I'm watching Magneto and his minions/deatheaters trying to figure out where Maddy and I were.

It was odd, even for me, I will admit.

Deathly Hallows part deux

I know I've had plenty of Harry Potter dreams over the last few years. But this one I feel is worth documenting.

So I'm at the Deathly Hallows part 2 premier with Maddy, Mariah, and Kittye (sorry Jack). There was a lot of fitting about seats with some hoodlums but we finally found enough seats.

The movie starts and its Harry and Dumbledore in some house talking about Voldemort. So its kind of like the King's Cross chapter. But then Ron and Hermione come walking in arguing, as usual. Also its the Dumbledore from the first 2 movies. So then Dumbledore leaves, and the trio disapperates to some city street. And then they start following this weird spiral thing (like they have at BYU leading up the the Marriot).

That's all I really remember. It was quite odd. And you'd think for the billions of time I've read that book my subconscious could come up with the real story. Silly Brain. Also I woke up and bought my tickets. 12:01 baby!!!!!

Until Next Time,

Its War!

So I finished watching season 2 of Castle last night, and in the finale there is this weird spy-cation company. Anyway, I think that sparked my dream last night.

I'm wearing my lime green and whale shirt, love that thing. And all of a sudden I'm in some abandon street with a gun. I look around and see some familiar faces, Caitlin, Mike, and Maddy. Then someone starts firing from up the street, so I get some cover behind a tree. Then I run into the street and start shooting like crazy. I think I hit someone. I'm not really sure why I was in a war zone of sorts, but it was intense. Also I'm not the best shot.

Until Next Time,

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.

Until Next Time,

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

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.

One last time

So first off I'd like to announce, I'm done with finals FOREVER!

So two dreams. The first is what I hope to be the last DC nightmare I ever have. So Maddy and I are working with the line in the Tanner building, but for some reason we're not sure if the show is there or actually in the Varsity Theater. So we're trying to sort that out when I find humor u performing in the hallways for the line. Which I thought was very odd, but have other things to be worrying about. Then I realize I'm late for something, so I pull Heather (one of the wives) and ask her to watch the line. Then Maddy and I run to the Marriott Center where I'm graduating. Got to count of=n DC for scheduling a show during graduation.....

Then last night I had a dream my brother Jack and I were kidnapped. The man who kidnapped Jack was super creepy but not threating to abuse him like the wife did, so I jumped her and started beating her with a brick so Jack could escape, but he didn't get so far. I'm not really sure why the lady didn't pass out, I hit her probably 15 times. So they let me call my mom and I'm just chatting with her and then I let slip Jack and I are kidnapped, and she's super confused. Then I got a text from someone and woke up. So it wasn't resolved. But I'm hoping that one never comes true.

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.

Until Next Time,

A Matinee

For the first time as far as I can tell Divine Comedy has decided to put on a Saturday Matinée. Without going into the dramatic details I'll leave you with that.

And of course because something stressful and Divine Comedy center is happening I had a dream about it.

I show up to get things ready for the show make sure the lines are all together. And of course there is some issue with the actors. At the same time I was trying to train Maddy. Towards the end of the show I had to run over to the Varsity to check on things there. At for some reason I was backstage at some point. These types of dreams are so scattered I wonder what my mind is up to.

Lets hope it all goes much better in real life.

No please, no, not again!

So in last nights dream I'm walking into Wilson High school with Maddy. I only glanced at my schedule but noticed some really girly sounding name like Daisey or something. So I spent a better part of the day looking for said teacher. I ran into some old high school fiends like Emily and Amy. Finally towards the end of the dream I realized Mrs Parker changed her name to Barbie something. Super strange. Also I never want to be in High School again. I'm graduating college for heaven's sake in April. Never again please.

Until Next Time,

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

Merry Christmas All!

Last nights dream was a little sad. All us kids were asleep at my apartment and walk up Christmas morning with no parents. So we opened up the gifts by ourselves. It was weird and sad.

But real Christmas was wonderful. I got a ton of beautiful clothes, new rain boots oh and a little thing called BEATLES ROCK BAND!!!!! What, What!

Lets all look forward to a wonderful New Year!

Until Next Time,

LOST

So the other night I had this dream that I was flying somewhere with my family and we made an emergency water landing. It was nuts, and I looked out the window and it must have been Hawaii because I thought to myself in the dream, its just like LOST! But then natural the novelty wore off and i realized we could die, or my luggage was going to be ruined! I'm not sure which one was worse. So then Its all a sudden a port and the plane drives out of the water and onto a runway. And we're not really sure where we are so I pull out my cell phone which some how tells me we're in North Carolina or something along those lines. And then its over, just like that. I'm fairly curtain I would be a little more concerned if that happened in true life. But who really knows...

Until Next Time,

Thats Why I'm so Tired All the Time

So in ASL today my professor tells us how if you dream a lot you're more tired. WHAT!?!?! Just because I have awesome dreams I get punished! I will not stand for this.

So about a week ago I had a dream that was a mash up of Bones, Covert Affairs, and Chuck all in one massive love fest. I had to go under cover as a hooker, you heard me. So apparently I'm a spy and have the legs to be a hooker, I take that as a compliment. I run to the side of the building with either Bones or Sarah and them help me into me hooker outfit. May I also take a minute to say I looked pretty good, for a 5' 2" hooker...

So then Monday night I may have forced a Harry Potter Dream by watching the new trailers approximately 10 times each, and then proceeding to read my favorite parts in Deathly Hallows. Anyway, so I'm home (that being the little red house not my current home in Portland) and I'm hanging out with my family which I know is going to be the last time in who knows how long. Also I'm secretly packing all the while because I know Harry, Ron and I may need to leave at a moments notice. It was pretty amazing.
Also can Part 1 come out already. I'm going nuts!

Tonight I'm shooting for some sweet Ron dream. If I read his return enough times I'm sure it will happen.....



Until Next Time,

Let the nightmares continue

It finally happened. I had a dream within a dream were I woke up and everything. Thank you Inception. It was more of a nightmare within a dream though.

First I'm dreaming pretty much everyone I care about is camping in some camper van. Said camper van catches fire and many of the people I love are consumed by the flames. Including most of my family. The only person I find is my mother. Needless to say I was a little panic stricken. Not only that but before I woke up I couldn't even account for all of my closest friends. It was awful.

Then all of a sudden I wake up and look out my bedroom to see I'm looking at Tanner 151 and its time for auditions. Mike is there already with some weird history of DC slide show and there are a million people there to audition. People are sitting in the cast/crew spots so I have to kick them out and then before we start Natalie does here audition, but Jordon joins in and it gets a little out of hand.

I can't wait for this weekend to be over. And I'm not letting my family come anywhere near a camper van.



Until next time,
Sweet dreams.

I don't want to go back!

So a few of us DCers watched Junior last night, so of course I had a dream one of the DC guys was pregnant. Not sure which one, but it was a big DC scandal. It was all very hush hush.

But the worst dream was that Maddy and I were going back to high school with Jack. I was a senior, and Katie and Maren were both there. My classes were super sucky. Maddy was a junior I assume, and Jack a freshman. And of course we were super late and I couldn't open my locket, and did I mention my classes were stupid!?! Nightmare, I tell you.

Until next time,
Sweet Dreams

Auditions

Of course with the constant flow of Divine Comedy duties since I've been back I had a few DC dream/nightmares.

The first of which included this weekends coming show. Since we were doing things from last year we invited Derk back to perform. I'm not really sure how that one turned out but we invited him. Its the thought that counts right?

Last night I had a dream we were having our auditions in Helaman Halls of course. And Maddy auditioned. As did this one girl who made it to call backs last year. And for some reason the rest of the group didn't show up. Good one team.

Lets hope both realities go much better.

And lets also hope I get this job at the library so I'm not tempted to sleep into 9 every Tuesday and Thursday.

Until Next Time,
