Trick or Treat

Had a fun one this morning. It was one of those dreams when you've woken up but fall asleep again and you have a very detailed dream. So in the dream its Halloween morning and Matt, Kabe, Casey, and Whit show up at my house to celebrate Halloween with me. Now Whit soon switched to my friend Katie, and then she disappears all together, but that's not really important. The boys decided to come celebrate Halloween up in Portland to insure a fun time. So I get all dressed up in my epic wonder women costume and we head to Multnomah Village for their Halloween fun, and to show the boys where I work. It was an enjoyable dream. And it has forced me to admit I do miss my friends in Provo. But alas I don't see me making it out there any time soon.

So this ones for you Provo friends. Blog shout out!

Also these costumes my mom made for Jack and I were awesome.

Jack obviously went as Pikachu

And I was Wonder Women.

And Maddy went as Luna Lovegood. So basically us Greaves children are super nerds.

Until Next Time,

Sick

Man I have the best (and by best I mean weirdest) dreams when I'm sick.  So before bed last night I took some night time cold medicine.  From all the scattered dreams I can remember most of them had to do with me taking medicine or wanting medicine. At one point I was mixing cold medicines in an effort to sleep better. And then I had a really strange one where I was pregnant. Like I said, being sick does some crazy stuff to my subconscious.  And even with taking medicine last night I still woke up at 2:30AM and then 4:30AM. Lets just say work was super exciting today.

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.

Party all the time

So I had this slightly amusing dream last night. Mostly because it involved me clubing.

So I'm out in downtown Portland hanging out with my friend from BYU and we come across this super cool looking building that happens to be a club. So my friend says "Lets check it out". When we come up to the door is has this little sign that says "great for FHE and ward activities". Which made my dream self wonder whether or not she was really in Portland or somehow back in Provo. So we walk in and it seems like a pretty cool place. Some good dance music, food, a hot chocolate station (because that exactly what I want when I all gross and sweaty after dancing). Then out of the corner of my eye I see to guys from my high school French class. So I go over and chat with them. Then a slow song comes on, and its like a stake dance all over again. One of my high school friends is about to ask me to dance when the BYU friend I came with swoops in and asks me to dance. Then there are awkward dance montages for a bit and then we eventually leave. It was odd, mostly because the place was totally fake, and I'm pretty sure I was dating the guy. Silly dream Alex.

But I won't lie, a tiny part of my wises that place was real.

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,

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.

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!

Until Next Time,
Sweet Dreams


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