The dream began with me cleaning up my house, when room mate Darryl walks in and starts doing standup comedy in a spotlight in front of an audience. I don't remember any of the jokes, but I was surprised at how good at stand up he was. All of a sudden it became an illusion show. The stage became liquid (yet it retained its shape, texture and colour) and he began to sink into the stage pretending to be in horror. Then some of his stage hands began reaching out of the liquid stage and pulling him in (the bit was that he was being pulled into hell.) I got up on stage and climbed into the liquid, which pulled me under the stage, where it was terrifying and claustrophobic. Someone then told me that Darryl was fined 7$ for mistreating his workers.
After I climbed out, a princess from Buckingham palace was there. She told me about a royal party that was the next day and she needed me to wear her dress for a day to get it broken in. I put her pink dress over my clothes and went to hang out with the Queen Mother for a little while. We went to the place of the party where they were preparing everything. Queen Elizabeth was there and she waved at the Queen Mother. I waved back and then realized I probably broke 30 protocol rules.

Feb 17, 09 - LOST
I had to take a couple of days off, mostly because my dreams over the weekend were fragmented and generally non-existent. The only one I remember was Lego Indiana Jones themed, and I was raiding a desert temple made of lego. There weren't many details except that the front door was closing and I had to roll under it.
Last night my dream was entirely an episode of LOST, and it was a sequel to a similar dream I had months ago (same locations and characters.) From what I remember it started in arctic conditions where I was riding up a hill on a cart (not sure what was pulling it.) It was a blizzard out and I was holding onto a frozen human heart (which was to be used on my own primitive open-heart surgery in the wild.) I kept wiping the frozen and ice and snow off of the heart so that it would not get freezer burned.
Somehow we ended up falling into a large body of water. There were three of us. Two of us got to shore and the third hadn't even come up for air, so the guy I was with went and saved him.
I decide to teach the guy that almost drowned how to swim. When he finally learns, I give him a giant screw as a substitute to the Bronze Medallion (since its a survival situation.)
Eventually we find ourselves on another beach with an old man and a girl. One guys shouts to watch out, and a light aircraft crashes against a hill and rolls down into the water. As we go check it out we see a family of marmots and they're talking in a strange language. One of us survivors tries to trick one by trying to give it a high five with a knife in his hands. The marmot doesnt fall for it, and we conclude that they're intelligent. We decide to head back to our island which I now notice is across a body of water. We camp the night, and there are four-wheelers and boaters going around the beach partying.
In the morning we have to climb down a huge crappy ladder to get back to our island. The girl goes first and she decides to slide down the ladder on her back. She hits the ground and screams but then realize that the impact heals her. Then a survivor who can't walk jumps off the ladder and suddenly he is healed. Soon it is my turn and I jump. On impact I see my name tag fly off (???) and make a joke "Oh no, the impact made me lose my name! Now I have no identity!" hahahahahaahahhahaahhahahahahahahahaha
So then it is night time and the fourwheelers come back and they start to crash into us. At first I get mad at them, but then I find out that they're deaf (which justifies it?) and have a disease that makes them look really old when really they're children. I give one a hug and tell them we have to go back to our island, and I start to cry. Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" starts playing and there is a montage of the moon and stars. I wake up with "Comfortably Numb" stuck in my head.
I just remembered the dream before this one. I'm working at a grocery store.

Feb 13, 09 - Kick ass dream, giant robot T-Rex
Last night I had two dreams.
The first dream was amazing. The city was under attack by a giant robotic T-rex at night. The military was doing its best to counter the attack, but the city was in ruins. There were piles of twisted blackened cars everywhere, and toppled buildings. People were getting mangled and destroyed and most of the soldiers were dead. I arrive at the scene, find a sweet machine gun, customize it with scopes and laser sight and stuff, and also pick up a grenade launcher. I'm taking on the T-rex, shooting it in the face and stuff, and end up crawling under a truck to hide from it. I peak out a little as it has its back to me and shoot it in the tail. It begins writhing, so i shoot a grenade in its mouth.
The area I was in was sort of like an ovular arena. I've had similar dreams where I'm running from a non-robotic T-rex in an enclosed ovular jungle arena.
My other dream, I was in the same cabin as I was the other night. This time it was afternoon in the fall, and I'm a housekeeper, cleaning up. Jamie is there in a tuxedo and we're raking leaves outside. The owner of the cabin comes and starts asking why things have been moved around. He suspects that we've been having parties, which we were. In the dream I had a memory that Ian and I partied in the cabin the night before. The owner continues suspiciously asking questions and I'm doing well to casually lie to him. Then he asks why Jamie is there, and I say that he's my apprentice. Then he asks why he's working in a tuxedo. I forget my answer.

Feb 12, 09 - Cleaning rooms
Last night was really weird...I can't really find any themes in the dreams I had...well maybe one. In a few of my dreams I had to clean up messes, but they werent very prominent parts of the dreams.
My first dream I was driving through Ottawa to a new house that my mom bought me (I was in either a van or an Avalanche.) It was in some ghetto from like Training Day or GTA: San Andreas. The problem was I couldn't find the house. I was turning around to go home and I accidentally bumped into a camping trailer which went rolling really far. I went to go check and my mom and grandpa showed up and said "well that doesnt look too bad, you'd better go in and clean up the mess you made"...so I went in and cleaned up.
So I went home to ask my mom for directions to find the house (I dont know why I didnt just ask before.) She was with my dad and a priest and they were all dressed up in these weird black and red occult gowns. I forget what my mom was talking to the priest about, but she gave me directions to the house and we had to keep repeating them so I could remember.
Anyways, that dream disappeared, and now I was land surveying with Simon. We were near an old age home that we work at a lot because they're doing an addition. The transit was open and it was full of sand (which is really bad for a $12,000 piece of equipment by the way), so I was trying to gently blow all the sand out of the way. This dream had a lot of details that I can't really remember.
Afterwards, this dream faded away, and now I'm at a trainstation at 3 am with Allie. This trainstation reappears a lot in my dreams and its almost always 3 am. I'll draw it up sometimes if it keeps showing up. Ah, what the hell, here it is:
Anyways, we were complaining about the OC Transpo, and the price to ride the train. I think we were heading to her family reunion. We end up in some sports store. For some reason we decide to stand completely still. Some toddler kid comes over and thinks we're mannequins, but then freaks out when I move.
Anyways, then we're at a pool, and this kid turns out to be in Allie's family, and I'm talking to him. What's more, most of Allie's family just consists of old police officers that used to work with my dad.
Then I'm in some bedroom where I'm supposed to clean everything up. One of my dad's old co-workers is talking to me while his son is playing drums. I then start talking to his son (who is like 35) about drumming, and if you could replace the cymbals with apple baskets. He says yes.
Next dream! I'm a mix between Link from Zelda, and Snake from Metal Gear Solid. I'm in this enormous temple fighting enemies that you would find in both Zelda and MGS. This temple consists of a giant ancient chamber, with pillars and high platforms. At first I'm on a platform shooting rockets at guys wearing jetpacks flying around, but soon I'm firing arrows at this flying serpent dragon thing. Eventually I beat the dragon, and the floors and walls of the temple begin to shift, reveals secret words (I wish I could remember the words.) At some point I'm also outside shooting skultullas and talking to Gorons....ANYWAYS.
Turns out, I wasn't these characters, but I was actually just playing this game on a widescreen HD tv. Greg Vice is there trying to stay awake. Apparently I'm showing him these scenes for an essay that he wants to write. This is about where the dream ends.
I know there are more details from that night that I am forgetting but I definately got the bulk of it here. I think there's a part with Holly in it that I can't quite remember. Also, there's a part where my mouth wouldn't open and a part where I could barely stay awake.

Feb 11, '09 - Sorry Folks
For most of the day I've been trying to remember last night's dream. Unfortunately I can only remember two images (this isn't a regular thing!) The two images I remember are being in a lecture, and also one where I'm playing with a miniature lightsaber (red.) I'm noticing that if I take cold medicine (benalyn) before I go to bed, I have trouble remembering my dreams. I think it just shuts down your brain and you fall asleep. Bad news.

Feb 10, 2009 - Basically Metal Gear Solid
I hope this one isn't read by any psychoanalysts...I've been playing a lot of Metal Gear Solid over the past few months so that's my justification.
So, I'm in the jungle on a sneaking jungle mission. I have a team with me which consisted of Jason, Daryll, Jeff and Lyndsey, and we're all specialists. I was a sniper/sneaking specialist. We're sneaking into an enemy camp, and I have my sniper rifle...and yes...I'm shooting people in the head (ok, but in my defense, it felt like it was in the video game...yes you could look into this if you wanted.) So its a pretty eventless dream, but I remember an enemy kept throwing grenades at me and kept missing, and I kept like flinching in fear that the blast would hit me but it never would. The grenade kept landing in the same place over and over again. I also remember thinking "How did Snake hold his gun and combat knife in the game?" and immitating that.
I had trouble remembering my dreams last night. I think there was a part with sharks too..

Feb 09, 2009 - Breaking and Entering
I had a lot of dreams last night, mostly because I kept waking up. Unfortunately I have no rememberance of the first few. I woke up at 6, and after that I remember most of my dreams, but they still weren't as vivid as the night before.
My first dream that I remember, I broke into a farm house that neighbours my parent's place. I was in the kitchen and it was dark. Their stove was very very tall, and I decided to start frying some eggs. I put two on the frying pan, and the eggs were frying one at a time (I had to stand on a stool to see them.) As the first one finished an old lady came down to see what the noise was. I didn't want her to be afraid of me or think I was a threatening burglar so I snuck up on her (good idea...) when she saw me I said "No I'm friendly!" but she screamed and I woke up.
When I went back to sleep I think there were a few details I forgot, but I remember I was in Renfrew again, it was the early morning and I was visiting Bradley's house (which was in town...which doesn't make sene). I was driving a huge van. I was going to drop off his backpack and a 2-4 of beer that I guess he left at my house the night before. His dog started barking and then he noticed I was there. When I went inside he was playing Doom II on a huge HD monitor and we both talked about how video games would be a good way to spend the day, I think I even wanted to play Doom II after that. Some details are hazy after this.
Then I'm back at my parent's house...I think my mom drove me home. I remember a part where I'm taking pictures of my sisters Kelly and Victoria as they run beside the big van (at top speed...like 70 km/h) Then Victoria asks is he can have her boyfriend over...which was a huge surprise to us and I think we laughed at her.
Her boyfriend was the werewolf kid from Twilight (the movie of course), and he brought his whole family with him. We were all playing in my tree house.
I think we had a dead tree, and some guy was telling us about how crappy our trees were, and how he got us this dead tree because he thought it looked rare (it was supposed to be ironic...like "ha ha, he's making fun of our trees, but he's too stupid to know what a dead tree is.")
Anyways, my treehouse became this giant multileveled cabin, and I remember thinking "I should have a party here sometime." It was really dark though. It had a bunch of firestoves and firewood so I kept trying to light a fire, but Victoria's friends were all running around and the cabin kept lighting on fire and I had to put it out a few times.
There was also a part of the dream where I was in this abandoned building during the day with these hipsters. The building had all this cool grafitti in it, and I think I did some of it. They told me that I was on "Warner Brother News" last night because of my grafitti.
I went back to my home in Ottawa and it was raining and I noticed that a bunch of kids had broken into my house while I was gone, so I kinda freaked out. Went down to my room and all these kids were running away (to be fair, I think they were like bratty 12 year olds.) I grabbed one and threw him against the wall and then I grabbed another and tried to be honest with him, like "OK! Did you steal anything?! or did you just like play Wii and drink beer and stuff" and he was like "yeah, we just played wii" but I wanted to be sure, so I asked again....
BUT THEN I WOKE UP!
Pretty weird night. I think this journaling process affected my dreams last night. I think I was conscious of it and thats why I kept waking up and having different dreams.
NOTE: I just remembered my first dream, I was on a swim team and pretty much the entire dream I was swimming lengths back and forth of a pool. I remember I was crashing into people and the coach got mad, and so did a morbidly obese guy that I crashed into.
