A Sari, A Dream and A Very Blue Berry

I dreamt that I was picking out all kinds of blueberry baked goods. Even baked goods that don't normally contain blueberries. Then later, I was trying to put on an Indian sari. Do with that what you will.





And for good measure, Madame Blueberry. Because that is where the title reference came from and also I think it's funny.

Office-ial Dreams (yes the bad puns are going to continue)

In my first dream, both Dwight Schrute and my sims were real people. It was very soap-operatic, in that I'm pretty sure my sim Season was trying to get pregnant with her husband Wayne but another person (perhaps myself) was pregnant and didn't want to be. I know I ended up chasing Dwight through a ladies' locker room.
The second dream... ah I knew I should have written it down.

Just So-So Dreams

Two days ago, I dreamt that I was attending the Fair (haha get it? so-so? fair??) with an ex-boyfriend (he looked like Robert, but was actually nice). I mean he was an ex-boyfriend at the time but we were trying to be friends or maybe I just needed a ride. I just know there was lots of Fair-type food and I wanted to eat it all. I had my hair in two french braids and I became really concerned that my part was going to burn so I tried to put sunscreen on it. Then we had to crawl into this tent. Rachel and Robert (a much less likeable version, closer to the real thing.) were following us. Robert got all pissy and asked Rachel how long I was married to the guy I was with, and Rachel told him rather disgustedly that I wasn't married. Then we decided to leave.

Last night, I dreamt that I returned to school after my Disneyworld sojourn only to find I had to complete the last semester of high school. Mrs. Hegarty was inexplicably one of my teachers. It was the last day of the semester so I had to run around and try to get the work and convince my teachers I will do it over the summer.

Losing My Religion (It was just a dream, just a dream)

These didn't all occur at the same time. I don't want anyone to think I'm having any sort of subconcious religious crisis.

1. I dreamt that I was demon posessed and was trying to figure out how to perform an exorcism on myself. I wondered if I could get to my Bible and read it to myself. It seems silly now, but it was quite terrifying at the time.

2. Last night I dreamt that I was living in the dorms. There was this big panic throughout the world because the rapture was supposed to occur at a specific time that night. I was dubious, but people outside were running around like crazy and I was kind of uncomfortable being alone in my room. Then a shaggy haired guy opened the door with a key and I was like um what are you doing? you aren't my roommate and this old lady, very much like madame lafaver (eww), was like oh on it's ok. And that's it. No more explanation than that. I began to be more and more concerned that the rapture truly was going to occur. But then some crazy girl showed up and explained the "procedure" that including pushing buttons a certain number of times, and it was so complex that I knew then it couldn't be the real thing.

3. I dreamt that little Chandler recognized me whenever I saw him which happened unnaturally frequently. Then, he started calling me Amber and I realized he had me confused with his aunt. I was bummed.

4. I dreamt that I visited the Gosselins, but each day something occured that kept me from going home so I would spend the night at their house. They randomly had an extra room for me. I got to spend time with the kids, especially the cute little ones. Also Jon, but not in a creepy way. At one point I was selling cards and he offered to buy some. I think we also tried to take them to the movies.

Less-Than-a-Dream Family


I dreamt that on Malcolm in the Middle, Hal was the boys step-dad. I wondered why they didn't throw the "you're not really my dad!" thing in his face more often. It wasn't until I watched it on tv this morning that I realized that was a dream.

Hardly A Dream Vacation



I was on a vacation and staying in a generic hotel. Sometimes Casey was with me, sometimes I was on my own. My door would never shut completely. I would wake up and realize I was crazy for ever going to sleep alone in a hotel room with a door that wasn't closed. Then I tried to get dressed. I was wearing skinny jeans which I found strange, because I know I wouldn't look good in them. I found a bunch of new t-shirts, with tags and stickers still on, and was trying to decide between them. My room began to fill up with people which I naturally found incredibly stressful. I wanted to take a shower but there were people in my bathroom and I couldn't change either. Another part of the dream involved my brothers and I driving Jeep/ATV type vehicles through a Crash Bandicoot style course in which we took jumps off of ramps and tried to break boxes. It was a rainforesty-jungle type place.

Still Dreaming

In one dream, I was with the Rices and Katie. Amy told me in secret that she was pregnant. I just so surprised Amy would have sex more than anything. I agreed to keep it a secret. But suddenly she began to show. Her mom came in, and to deflect, she told her mom that Kelli and I were both pregnant. And then suddenly we were. It was awkward.

My second dream, well dang now I forget it.

This Is Not A Dream (It's surreal)

I've had recurring dreams about a theme park, that I'm either visiting or working at. If I'm just visiting, I'm visiting a lot. If I'm working, then I'm a really bad employee. It's a theme park that is only half-Aing the whole theme thing so not Disney. Maybe like a Six Flags park mixed with mini-golf. Very cheesy. I've met several people. Like Cole: a guy about my age, moderately attractive, possibly flirting with me which I quickly rebuffed. Also a weird guy who works as a clown or something. His off-putting intensity and bizarre discomfiting comments remind me of the red head guy from Top Chef. He was part of a group hired to add more activities to the park experience. Guests (and me, still not sure if I fall under that category) would accidentally run into these "plain-clothes" employees and then be challenged to different things, like solving puzzles, winning carnival type games, etc... In one dream, I was trying to get somewhere and was constantly being involved in these stupid things. For some reason, I couldn't refuse. One in particular involved chasing the person around the park trying to catch them. It was this last challenge that the creepy red headed guy made me do and I detested chasing after him through the crowds, over various water features, etc... I feel like he may have taken something that belonged to me that I wanted back, which is why I chased him. Then I snuck into a decorative house that is apparently an employee hideaway and tried to sleep on a cot on the floor when a large turtle with a face just like Yoda's came in and started talking to me. I demanded to know who he was and he told me he was Cole. I think he was turned into a turtle and I was supposed to help him turn back. That, or he was a guy in a turtle suit or working a turtle puppet. Anyway, I was not in the mood to be bothered by Cole as a turtle.





Also I've decided to go back and add labels. Apparently any potential new readers are put off by the fact that there are so many dreams. Now you can search for specific subjects and read dreams that have to do with a particular topic such as pregnancy. Or ducks. Or your name. You get the idea. Enjoy.

These dreams are like grapes: they come in a bunch.

So many dreams, so little time.

Last night:
I dreamt that I was starting a new semester of college, but it was at Cal High with most of the same Cal High people. I had injured myself, so instead of limping around, (and answering a bunch of questions about why I am limping) I decided to use a wheelchair. I went to a couple classes but then I had to go to the foreign language building. It was much farther away from the main building than it is in real life and I didn't want to push myself all the way there so I limped instead. When I got there, I found much to my excitement that Anushka, Amy Lynn and Danielle were in my French class, taught by who else but Madame Goldin? I looked at my schedule and realized I had the same class but later in the day. I rushed to Madame's desk to ask her if I could switch, when she announced she only had two openings left and there were two people ahead of me in line. The room was really huge with large wooden desks, new and un-graffitied. (Amy and me in French class)

Also last night:
This is my Dad's dream, but it is funny and about me so I'm including it here anyway. He dreamt that I left some gym clothes at Stanford where they had become infested with cockroach eggs. When I brought them home, the cockroached grew and infected my entire wardrobe. My mom insisted that the only way to handle it was to burn all the clothes. My dad refused, saying it would be too expensive and I refused because I liked my clothes too much. (Most are old and irreplaceable.) My mom tried to compromise by boiling my clothes, but it wasn't very successful.


Friday night:
I dreamt that I went to the grocery store and tried to buy a couple of things but couldn't find what I was looking for and then had some trouble at checkout. It was highly stressful.


Thursday night:
I dreamt that I went to babysit the Powers kids at 10AM as instructed but the parents did not return until after midnight. I was upset that they had left me there all day without warning and did not intend to babysit for them again. However, they seemed so pleased with my "work" that they wanted to hire me on a daily basis. I really didn't want to, but she offered me $1000 a week and I certainly couldn't turn that down. I was wary about actually going to babysit the next day. I don't if "luckily" is the right word, but I was not offered a full time gig.
