It seems that a common theme is me running from someone or some thing, in many cases due to things that I've done. In most instances these could be considered nightmares, but since I have so many, I rarely wake up truly frightened.

18th April, 2006

As a group, we were set to gain 2 million dollars from this venture. The plant had been growing for a few weeks before it was time to cash in. This is when greed showed itself. We realized that one of the four of us had been working towards scheming us out of our money. The remaining three of us decided that she needed to be killed. I had revealed to her that we were on to her and we chained the woman up to the middle of the room.

I spoke with another woman (the group was either 2 men and 2 women or 4 men, depending on the part of the dream) who explained that head trauma was the cleanest way to kill this woman. The plan was set. We killed her.

It was the next morning, and something had happened. When I woke the whole fiasco was over. The greenhouse was gone. The remaining partner had given me something indicating that everything had gone well. But it was not yet over.

On a street corner I waited for my cohort. He and I got in the car with the other 2 from our group (now our enemies) and they started shooting. The man in the passenger seat shot several rounds through the seat itself and one hit me. It went through me and got stuck in my spine. I lay there knowing that I was dead. I couldn't speak, couldn't move. My eyes were filled with tears as the other men left me there. Crawling out of the car, I lay in the empty street.

A few minutes later, my daughters arrive, wanting to play with me. Of course, they wanted to jump on me. I explained it was a bad time (bullet wound and all), but Cassidy insisted (sounds about right). Somehow I was cured.

7th July, 2005

It begins late at night in some sort of compromising situation. An attractive woman appears, and for some reason I think she is to blame for the situation at hand. Upon announcing this, she takes off and runs away. Immediately I start after her, running through the city streets. An overweight cop tells me I'll never catch her, and it seems to be the case as she's incredibly quick. However, I believe she lets me close the gap and she runs back to the house in which I'm staying.

In the dream, my character is a bit slow, mentally, referring to wherever source material this dream came from. We speak and she comes into this huge house where I reside. We speak for a long while and prepare to go to bed. As she's laying down on the small bed, perpendicular to my own, I see a ghost mimic her actions from behind. This creeped me out, but nothing was there. Soon after, some other man enters the dream and we're all sitting around talking.

She leaves the next morning without incident.

Much later on I'm at a grocery store. We each have very strong feelings for each other at this point. She and I separate and I try to purchase a box of cereal from a checkout counter next to hers. The man somehow loses my box, and then he takes off, running away. Once again, I am chasing someone (unlike the usual dreams!). Here I encounter Jake, in the back of the store. He's been imprisoned in a psych ward, strapped down, it's clear he's going insane. I spring him. The woman, Jake and myself escape.

An alarm clock and visit from Santos woke me, but my dream continued on slightly. Now I'm at a big backyard BBQ. It's a beautiful day with all my friends and family around. She and I are in love and now have a child. Alarm clock number 2 ended this dream fully.

12th April, 2004

I'm sneaking around as I know there are crocodiles and other dangerous animals around. Walking around a building, I turn to see one child trapped behind the doors and in another building several women. I go and let the women out and turn to release the child when the women start screaming. The door has already swung open and the child comes running out but is attacked from behind by an enormous aligator. The animal clamps its jaws down and swings its head killing the child instantly. The women and myself run off.

17th May, 2004

However, one day I am walking down the hall and make a very disturbing discovery. There is a closet with 2 sliding doors, both with a mirror on the outside. As I walk from the right, I pass the first mirror and see my reflection. Upon passing the 2nd mirror though I see the face of a young boy.

This scares the hell out of me. The boys face is huge, about the size of my entire body in the reflection, and it is completely emotionless. Each time I pass the mirror I see this haunting image until I can take it no longer. I must move.

I start doing research b/c no one wants to buy the home with this terrible reflection as I'm not the only one who sees it. Eventually I find the prior owner of the house and go to ask him some questions. When I bring up the image of the child he sighs and reveals that his son died in that closet many years ago.

Soon after this I wake up and realize that it was all a dream. I wake with a terrible dreadful feeling which soon turns to relief knowing it was not real. While the dream may seem trivial it filled me with such dread and fear. I still get chills thinking about it.

5th May, 2004

At one point this pair of brothers are throwing around a football which I manage to catch and off of it falls a small diamond. I take this for myself before tossing the ball back to them.

The party progresses and I end up approaching the woman and speak to her. We have a lot in common and have a good time. We agree to see each other again.

Next I know we are in love, a very surprising and exciting feeling given my current real-life situation. We spend a lot of time together as the weeks pass and one day I plan on giving this woman the diamond. It was not set in a ring, I was just going to give the diamond itself. As we wait in a small lobby I realize that the diamond is gone. Without giving away the fact that I'm desperately looking for something, I search the floors to no avail. I've lost it!

Later on it is raining out and she collapses to the ground with me and some friends about. She's got some sort of sore, an open wound on her side/stomach. We bring her to the hospital and she recovers.

I visit her in the hospital and she reveals that she stole the diamond from me. I'm very confused as to why, but we remain a couple so to speak.

From here on I cannot get in touch with her and she's obviously avoiding me...but she offers no reason or excuse. So Mat drives me to a small spot on the on-ramp of the highway where we know she drives. I see her car go by and cuts to the left, a very curious tunnel that no one else seems to take. I run after her.

Next I find myself in a labyrinth of a building. I follow this woman for a short while but cannot keep up. Soon I realize I'm not meant to get out as I end up seeing other men here, wandering as if they are trapped. Eventually we cross paths, myself and this woman. She cites some evil phrase summed up as, "You'll never escape, you're mine!" or something of the sort. I start to run after her and eventually corner her and after much arguing, I thrust her through the window and watch her body fall to the city street below. But all of a sudden, her arms sprout wings and she flies forward and back through another window several floors down. Now I realize she is a succubus and the diamond was her goal. She's ensnared me, I have no way of getting out. Now she's pissed and she's coming after me.

Then I wake.

31st October, 2003

Next, her brother is with us and we return to the island, but this time there are a lot of tourists there. However, they don't realize the danger they're getting themselves into and their tour guides apparently have set this up so that they could be slaughtered and sacrificed. We sneak around the outside of the group staying out of sight. Eventually a huge dinosaur comes out and starts wreaking havoc, killing everybody. This beast is a mix of a T. Rex type dinosaur and a disfigured monster. It stands at 30 feet at least.

This next part is fuzzy as so much was going on. There were people running everywhere, screaming and panicking. I recall running up the side of the mountain with my comrades trying to save anyone we can. The slaughter continues and we manage to kill the dinosaur. Virtually everyone is dead, the island and mountain stained with blood. There are still some people scurrying and fleeing. The natives are upset that we killed their monster and come after us.

The brother and I manage to fly off the island and avoid the chaos. We land on a bamboo rooftop still in sight of where we left and we see that his sister is still on the island. I think he goes back to save her.

Later, I'm by myself and I fly back to the island. Here there is an Asian family who is in need of assistance. I help the father out by flying him to his destination.

On the way back, I relax where all of the injured people from the initial attack are resting. There is very little water and I scold someone for splashing it around and wasting it. As we talk about the events that have transpired, someone comes up to me and smears some paste on my skin. It was made out of banana or some fruit. I look over at him and he gives me an evil glance and almost immediately I feel a welt appear on the inner portion of my right thigh. It grows larger and hurts incredibly! In just moments it becomes the size of a walnut and has a green color to it. Throbbing, I get up and run.

At this point I woke up and figured that was the end of the dream. I think only once before have I continued a dream and didn't suspect this would happen again. Seeing as how I remembered the dream vividly and it was a lot of fun (until that last part), I wished I could continue. I turned over, and managed to doze and keep the dream going.

This time I'm at an island between the initial one and home and as I'm flying overhead I see my old friend scouring the jagged rocks. As I fly down, I see that he is badly wounded and looks much older than I recall. He has a long white beard and looks very frail as he struggled to climb down the last set of rocks which would lead him to the end of the island. He gives to me a box containing something incredibly important and a very archaic looking axe. This was made as people would have in years past, a shoddy wooden handle tied together with a chipped piece of rock. He dies telling me to keep it safe and to complete his task.

Back at home; I have to pass some extra security before getting to my goal. One is my friend and another is the guy who played Doogie Howser. My friend is trying to let me pass but Doogie is being difficult and wants to know what I'm carrying. Since I don't even know, I tell him I can't but he persists. I take out the axe and threaten him.

Then I fly away and hit my final destination, a large landing platform at the back of a castle. Here a massive 3-headed dragon awaits chained to the platform. A magician greets me and starts to unchain the dragon.

Then my dream ends.

10th June, 2003

I get home and someone is tormenting my brother (of course I have no brothers), picking on him and abusing him both verbally and physically. So, I go up to the bully and muscle him around a little bit. I don't hurt him, but I exhibit my newfound strength and end up tossing him on the hood of a car where I proceed to spit on his face. His face is disfigured, resembling one of the characters from Total Recall. A portion of his forehead is almost melted over his eye, so his entire eye is covered by this piece of skin. I taunt him a little bit, and give him a clear warning that he should never do anything like that again lest he face my true wrath. My brother's girlfriend comes back and I have to explain what I did. They're all confused as to how I was able to do what I did. The answer is that I'm now a super-hero with superhuman strength, but I can't say that...instead I play it down to me working out much.

The dream was clearly inspired by my visit to Great Adventure that same day...Many of the rides are based on superheroes (Superman, Batman, etc). On our last ride of the day a pair of brothers were in line in front of us. With them was one of their girlfriends and they were both treating her poorly. Judging from their conversation, she was being abused, both verbally and physically.

January, 2003

There was a little girl whol ived with us. She pretty much looked like Björk, at a very young age. The girl one day disappeared. She went into a closet, we opened it up and she was gone.

It disturbed us greatly of course, we had zero clue where she could have gone. Every so often we would hear her voice coming from the closet area upstairs. One day, I heard her voice vividly, and I knew it wasn't simply my mind. I ran downstairs and went directly underneath the closet. There was a room that doesn't exist in the normal house, but in the dream it looked like a boiler room. I tiptoed downstairs and up to this door and her voice was louder here. I opened the door revealing the little girl. She was playing and making a mess with food. I asked her what happened, and she would not reply w/ a coherent answer. She looked like she was wired on sugar.

It turns out that she had died. Stacy came downstairs and she told us something to the effect that she was dead. Then, all of a sudden a ruckus came from the room where she was hiding. Voices of several people came forth and a chill came over me. I opened the door only to see a number of dead people and they were roused by my knowledge of their existence. I recall these beings coming towards me maliciously. Before they got to me, I woke.

31st December, 2002

Stacy and I decide that we must go to Angmar and find the Witch-King. We ride across the lands and arrive. Here we slay the Ringwraith and take the magical sword before riding across the lands back west. We are now being pursued.

Alternative....we go to Osgilliath and it looks much like it did in TTT, burning. We head to this main area and steal the sword, but we are confronted by the ringwraith. Somehow we slay the wraith and flee.

Much is blurry but ultimately we all arrive back and the war is won. Stacy then gets a phone call, someone citing they're from our old college. They ask for her name, SSN and address. Just as she gives the address, I run to her, knowing that she just told the ringwraiths where we were. They were coming for us.

I woke up immediately.

11th September, 2002

We're talking in the backseat and he is just as I remember him. Always in a good mood, smiling, laughing.

A few minutes later we arrive at a cemetary. We pull up to an elaborate tombstone area, difficult to describe but very detailed and large. Grandpa gets out of the car and walks towards the grave. I know immediately that it is his. Someone else's grave is there next to his, I'm guessing it was his first wife. He walks out of the car and straight into the grave, almost disappearing...like who I was talking to was really just a ghost. I lay down on the ground and just lose my composure, crying terribly.

About the saddest feeling I've ever felt.

11th September, 2002

There's another man in the dream, who is supposed to watch him. We're readying to leave and I use the rest room. When I come out, I find that Hannibal is no longer bound, nor inside. Instead the man who was watching him was, for some reason, in his stead. I turn around and Hannibal is right there, bloody and ready to attack. For some reason, the only weapon I have is a butter knife, I stab him with it, several times. I go to get the man who was supposed to watch him, to get him out. Bringing him out, Hannibal is gone.

We get in a car to leave, but we know that Hannibal is still around.

August, 2002

Getting up, we all run outside to see. There's planes dropping bombs and ground troops coming up from the beaches. It's so dark though, that you cannot tell who is American and who is Japanese. The US soldiers are wearing bandanas, but it's just too dark and so soldiers are shooting blindly, and in many cases killing their comrades.

I recall hiding behind a big tank and seeing people running by on the other side. There's no way to know if they're Americans or Japanese.

Next thing, I'm at some compound and there's a huge field. People are playing baseball, but there's junk littering the field. Roots from uprooted trees, cans, it's just a mess. Weird stuff seemed to be happening, though I can't recall.

August, 2002

15th August, 2002

I'm then leaving this house and there are a ton of people outside. Stacy had gotten together a Huge party. It was all smokers and drinkers and they played some terrible smoking game. Blow the smoke as far as you can. Fewest to the finish line wins. There's hundreds of people. I don't smoke and can't drink b/c I have to go to the baseball game. I decide to leave and tell Stacy that I think this event is silly. This causes a rift between us. I cross the small river back home and the 3 members of Metallica are coming and ask why I'm leaving. Kirk tells me that I could use his car. I'm walking down the road and I see Siobhan and Caitlin at some sketchy hotel. They're there to sleep w/ some guy. Pretty terrible. I wake before getting to the game.

15th August, 2002

I'd dreamt of the satanic guy before, but after playing the record, he starts to come back. We have to hurry to rebuild the wall again.

15th August, 2002

13th August, 2002

Next thing I know, I'm hanging out w/ Monica Seles. Ryh-Ming is gone. Someone is playing old video footage of her playing fotball when she was ilke 6. The whole crowd laughs.

I'm then at Dan's and his aunt is visiting. I've got the key and I'm not sure if I should leave the door open. Odd...then I call Stacy and Steve Firsten is there. He can't get my Pez dispenser working. He says Stacy is busy but that he's got 9" PS2 discs. This is obviously b/c he's doing it all wrong.

12th August, 2002

11th August, 2002

The next part is muddy....but I then find myself in a plane. There are several people with me and I've been exiled to some island. Someone else is there who has done exactly what I'd done but they're ok. I'm kicked off the plane and parachute to the desert island below. I decide that I should bury the supplies that I have and so I dig a hole. Stacy is there now and says, "I don't know how a hobbit hole will help."

It's not a hobbit hole but we bury the thing anyway and put a flag near it to mark it's position.

At another part I'm in Lou Serafini's room (his old one) and it's got Tolkien things all over the walls. I'm thoroughly impressed and some guy tells me about some books which I already knew about.

20th June, 2002

Next thing I know, we're getting married and Otto from the Simpsons is driving like a maniac. It's like Crazy Taxi - driving all over the place. He finally gets to the 'church' or wherever we're to be married and he does this mad powerslide...slides like 100 feet and stops perfectly right in front of the place. Awesome!

14th June, 2002

Out from the floorboards come these big eggs, just like the movie Aliens. They hatch immediately and winged demons come forth. Most fly out the window. Several stay inside the house, terrorizing us hanging outside. Eventually we find a crawl space to hide in as the rain begins. Of course it's got to rain, to make the entire experience that much more miserable. After several hours of us huddled together, the demons all have left. Some venture back to the attic where it all began, and once again, the floorboards start to rattle.

That's it for that part - next thing I know, I'm chasing someone. It's almost like the Ewok village of Return of the Jedi, but it's half on the ground, half suspended in the trees. Can't recall much here.

13th June, 2002

As we approach the shoreline, we notice that these very odd boats are manned by Chinese people, refugees coming to the US. We're running towards the beach with scores of people behind us chasing. Arriving at the boats, one of the Chinese women just stares at me. Her face is terribly grim and I can see it still. We're about to board the boats and Stacy wakes me up!!! :)

10th January, 2002

I hid out in my house for a while, but then decided I had to get away.

Next I remember - I'm on some boat, going through some swampy area w/ a lot of reeds and high growing grass. Inside the boat I have someone's finger that I somehow cut off and there's blood everywhere. Typical dream - being chased by the cops so an overwhelming feeling of dread consumes me.

The dream continued and was very graphic and terrible, but I can't remember any more. Woke up and told myself that I'd remember it. So much for that! :(

17th December, 2001

Anyways, we sit talking for a few minutes. I can't feel anything from my old self's perspective, but I do see that I'm a naive dork from my current perspective.

I wish that portion of the dream lasted longer...but next thing I know, I'm at an Oakland Raiders game, which is being held in the college gymnasium. It's me and this other guy in the middle of the floor, with tons of people around us. We apparently did something great while in college and everyone is cheering for us. We start bouncing some soccer balls around.

Then Stacy's alarm clock wakes me up!!!

17th July, 2001

I'm in the basement of some sort of religious college or something. In the basement it's very quiet - and I'm snooping around. It looks like a museum, w/ tons of antique looking things. I've dodging these priest guys and step into this room w/ 7 statues. Next thing I know, I'm w/ about 6 other ppl, all student looking folks, all in the same room w/ me. The statues are actually these ancient keepers of this sacred area or something and they start chasing us.

I remember them catching some of the ppl, while others ran. Some ppl ran outside, grabbed rocks and bricks and threw them at these guys. I was chased all around until I got into some underground area. Don't remember much else.

9th July, 2001

Eventually (I forget a lot here), I have to go to the top of this tower and fight this demon, a lion with wings. There's all these obstacles I have to deal w/ as well.

Instead, I run down to the bottom and try to recruit some help.....can't remember much more...

5th June, 2001

I'm here at home, and it's Lord of the Rings. I have the one ring, and Sauron is looking for me. Stacy is gone, and I have some friends over, but I shoo them away b/c I know he's coming for me. I recall running into the backyard...There's woods out there, and I think that maybe I can find solace there.

This is perhaps one of the most frightening dreams, b/c I know that he can find me. I can feel him coming, and I know that there's literally nowhere to hide as he can see me. I can feel his eyes probing me, and his presence growing closer.

Part 2
I'm in hell. I've been captured and sent to some dungeon. I go down there w/ some woman, maybe wearing an Obituary shirt (the one I have). I go down there, give her a chair and try to keep the other guys from doing bad shit to her. It's a big square room w/ a huge table in the middle. Eventually someone comes in and gathers us all up, everyone but me and someone else. There was an old man, a young kid, a few other ppl. I pleaded my case, to take me as I'm athletic, intelligent, strong. This demon of sorts gives me a test, if I can survive his test I can go w/ him. He tosses fireballs at me, floats in the air and the table became a large pit. He hovered over the pit and turned back, something I felt was cheating. I don't know if he touched me (which would've meant I failed), but I ran out of the room.

Next came a series of weird events. I suppose I had a guide who was to help me. We went into this elevator shaft type thing. I was told to lean back while holding on to this cord. It would help me reminisce. As I ascended, events in my life went through my mind. Nothing that I've done, but just odd things in this dream man's life. At one point I stopped and got off. I had risen thousands of feet. My guide was no longer with me. It looked like a stone series of hallways, but the ceiling was covered with grapes, as if it were a vineyard. I yelled at my invisible guide, saying I had done what he had wished of me. There was one large door in front of the area that I got off. I may have hit the top of the elevator shaft. As I yelled, the stone face over the door started looking very angry. Swarms of bees came out of the eyes and mouth and I ran.

I stopped about a quarter of a mile away. Looking back, I could see the door, but I was outside now. It was a beautiful day, and I stopped on some sort of fountain, with grey water. There was a girl next to me, who was drinking. I asked if the water was safe, but she didn't answer, just kept drinking...so I did too, relieving myself at the same time.

????

3rd April, 2001

March 2001 - Wolverine & the Grinch

We get out w/ money and sneak out. As we walk away, I'm nervous that someone would recognize us. Somehow, noone does and we escape.

That night, some guy is watching me through his window. I notice and since I scammed the Grinch out of money by not giving him his full share, I got to him at night...he's sleeping in a coffin thing, like vampires do.

March 2001

I then meet some girl who is going to bring me to some college convention thing. I remember walking up lots of stairs, meeting plenty of ppl. For a while I'm carrying my bike, then eventually I'm not. Finally I remember getting there and not having something important when it's time to enter.

Unknown - Execution

Unknown - Back in Hell

Stacy was taken from me, and Satan had her. I had to go into hell to get her back.

There were several trials I had to go through to pass. They seem absurd in hindsight, but were very real during the dream itself.

I am in a huge well lit lobby. I need to find the passageway that would lead me to hell.

There is a large elevator that I need to take.

At one point I crawl up a ladder and out what looks like the top of a submarine. There is a frog sitting there with a penny. I need to outwit the frog.

I eventually meet up with Satan and the whole scene is somewhat reminiscent of the movie Legend, with the huge devil and woman all dressed up. He just laughs.

Unknown - Armageddon

Unknown - Crucifixion

Unknown - Mother Ghost

Unknown - Alien Attack
