Dreams

I haven't had a vivid dream in about a month now. I'm beginning to just pass out at night, and suddenly wake up in the early morning.

Dreamt that I was playing with my dog Nikolai when suddenly his doppelganger runs around the corner. They start playing and I couldn't tell them apart, which was very concerning because I didn't know which was the evil one. I try to find any differences and they're absolutely identical in both behaviour and physique. I answer the door to find a dog exorcist asking to come in, that a family member from across the country had sent him. I'm like of course! And he walks in and pulls some crystals from his bag and starts waving them in the air. I got mad at him for being a full of **** scam artist and kicked him out of the house. I decided that all dogs are good boys and that dog doppelgangers aren't evil.

Edibles and Twin Peaks before bed make for some good dream prep. That's pretty much the most linear dream I've ever had.

Dreamed I was making my way toward some station near Chicago to board a train, plane or ship which would take me and others to a compound in the arctic. I had been planning a trip up the east coast around christmas time, so I was greatly annoyed by this. (Immediately prior to this, I was attacked by a male family member. I was going to go report the incident before realizing that, if I did, we may end up having to be at the same compound which I wouldn't have been able to bear considering what he did.) We didn't have much of a choice in the matter. Along the way, golden mechanical beetles began appearing all around on the concrete path, weaving around everyone; it was known (suddenly, intuitively) that there was to be one golden beetle for every two people on earth. Many of us already had a beetle circling around us, but hadn't yet found the other person who would share this beetle. Some of the beetles would spontaneously grow in size. I had a beetle, I think, but I didn't touch it. I was suspicious. The others seemed to feel sorry for the beetles (even though they were mechanical-- or alien? it was unclear); they'd pick them up and say "Hey little buddy" while petting them sadly.

Once at the station, we all had to line up to receive this strange, rectangular metal (yet translucent?) panel. They were implanted into the backs of our arms. Each panel had about two rows of tiny square holes; after the panels were placed into the skin, the chipper lady at the counter would implant something into each of the square holes. That's all I remember.

Even so-called bad dogs are really just chaotic good boys.

Last night's dream fragments:

-An ex-boyfriend of mine, Matt, introduced me to his new wife. I was fond of her, and she looked somewhat like me. The three of us spent a day together, but Matt was becoming increasingly affectionate toward me, staring at me longingly, and so on. When she'd leave the room he would stand right in front of me and almost kiss me. His wife of course noticed this, and suggested that the two of us (just me and her) go somewhere else for a little while. This place was a very old building that had been turned into a mental health retreat of some sort (I guess she planned to have me committed), and there was this one large, mostly empty room with only a wrought iron spiral staircase in the center.
When we entered this room, I got this horrible feeling; in my mind I saw this woman dressed in an electric-blue 1940s skirt suit, with a matching blue hat with a white rose attached. (This was very bad, because I knew this was just a new and different manifestation of the demon lady who attacks me in my other dreams) I felt that she was descending the stairs at that very moment, so I grabbed the girl I was with and told her to run outside with me. As soon as we did, two men attempted to kidnap us. She ran past them, and I ran in the opposite direction, back toward the front of the house while the other man pursued me very closely. I somehow managed to frighten him off by pretending that I had some sort of ancient powerful weapon, and he left. When Matt heard of this, he forgot about his wife completely and was even more fixated with me due to my brush with death. I think I wandered away, though.

-In another dream, it was autumn, and I was walking through fields with black lace wrapped around my face. Some guy began following me everywhere, but it seemed he had a twin that was also dressed in white, and so I could never tell which one it was. Everyone kept swarming around me, asking me questions. Periodically I would find myself in front of a mirror in the house I lived in as a teenager, obsessively adjusting my hair (which was greyish-white and silky, like doll hair) and my lace face mask. I was wearing a very odd outfit, too; it was white and resembled origami, almost, the way the fabric folded around me.

I don't know what kind of German war crimes a "doggelganger" would be found guilty of, but the charges would most certainly be numerous.

I don't speak enough German to get this joke.

Do you guys find that the more you try not to think about someone the more likely they are to pop up in your dreams?

Yes. For a while I kept having sex dreams about my ex boyfriend's dad which I definitely did NOT want, yet they continued, becoming more and more graphic each time. (Though that may have just been because I once saw him watching porn on his laptop in broad daylight where he surely knew I could see, as I was in the kitchen 15 feet away from him and his laptop was turned just so. Which my brain decided to use for dream material I guess)

And I find that the people you DO want to dream about are often frustratingly elusive in your dreams when they do show up.
