So the dream starts out me, my uncle, my grandmother, my mother and my brother are in line to get on a cruise ship. There are three ships in line at the dock. Me and my uncle and grandma get on the third in line and my brother and mom get on the second. It is right at dusk and the sky is filled with orange and purple as the ships sail out of what I know to be the ship channel of Houston. All three of the ships pick up tremendous speed and begin to weave in one direction and then the next over and over. All three ships doing the same thing. The tour guide lady asks everyone to direct their attention to the water for the trademark pyramids that give the cruise its name. I look over and the wakes of the ships are creating a pyramid shape atop the water. All three coming together quite remarkably.
All of a sudden we are more or less flying over what looks to be a very free roaming zoo. All sorts of animals around glaciers and icebergs, deserts and grasslands and other landscapes. Eventually this turns into us flying over a pet store where I am looking down over the isle and over the aquariums pointing out different kinds of fish. The tour ends in the store and we proceed to walk outside. There are signs that indicate where we should stand to be picked back up by the ship but there is no water only a regular looking parking lot. I go back into the pet store while everyone else is waiting to be picked back up and I go to one of the tanks that I noticed from above earlier to see the fish I pointed out. Only, the fish wasnt in there. I look at the tank next to it and there were only small pieces of dead fish with hundreds of shrimp swimming around eating them. I go back outside and there, my grandmother is pointing through the window at an Oscar in a very small tank. She tells me that the tank is way too small for that size oscar. I agree with her and then I woke up.
For some reason the pyramids in the water really stuck out to me. I couldnt get the image out of my head for a while after I woke up.

The first thing I remember is that I was going to this facility to inspect people they had held there against their will. It was very a futuristic place with armed robots as guards. I go into the chamber with this mutant girl who looks a little bit like storm from x-men and she has amazing powers. I remember thinking she was the most powerful mutant that ever lived. I am doing various tests and telling her everything is going to be alright and that I am hatching a plan to get her out. I tell the people outside that I am done with the tests and they proceed to cuff her and walk her outside to load her into a truck.
As we are walking to the truck you hear a low frequency hum and the legions of robots surrounding us start falling. She for some reason falls to the ground as an incapacitated sloth. I pick up the sloth and head out over a small rocky hill and into the water surrounding this island. I am having trouble swimming with the sloth in my arms so I head close to shore and plop her up on the rocks. I make my way around the small island and on one side there is another island right across a small channel. I swim across, sloth in hand and as soon as I get to the other side a black cat jumps off the rocks to my left and walks across the top of the water to the other side. I turn my attention to the island and see a modern looking asian spa/nightclub with people in hot tubs. All of which are looking at me, the sloth and now my uncle who has joined the party. We apologize for interrupting everyone and we walk through.
As soon as we get to the door we are at my uncles house and my aunt is there with a bunch of her girl friends. We tell her we have rescued her friend and she gets on the phone to call someone. I let out a sigh and she apologizes for us having to rescue her friend. Then I woke up.
The first thing I remember is getting a phone call from some sort of IT department. There was a lot of people on the other line, all part of this IT department. They were really vague about what the job entailed but the jokes and things they were making made it seem like it was a big opportunity for me and it was going to be very fun. Katy was there.
All of a sudden I am at the "job" but it was a school. I'm in a science lab learning and the bell rings. I leave but then remember I left my hat in the classroom. I go back and get my hat and walk back into the hall. I go into a stairwell to the left and immediately to the right is an entrance to another classrom where my brother is. We leave the classroom together and walk back into the hall. The hallway opens up to a large room of which we are on a thirdfloor balcony looking over endless rows of pool tables and games. We walk to the cafeteria area and noticed that they sold beer. We order two beers and all of the sudden we are walking among the pool tables. Trevor isnt there anymore.
I walk to the far wall and notice a small hallway to the right. I proceed down the hallway and notice a door on the right that is open. It leads to a parking garage area with some security personel outside. My uncle Frank is with them and they are telling jokes and laughing. I walk out the door and to the left but for some reason I want to go back inside. I turn around and there are two kids sitting next to some crates. A boy and a girl. They were holding hands but in their other hands are guns for which they are about to kill themselves. For some reason I knew they were killing themselves in some romeo and juliet, we cannot be together in life so let us join in death situation. I take the guns away from them and in an attempt to make them flinch or show fear I pretend I am going to shoot them. They didnt even blink and I knew they werent afraid to die. I told them if they really wanted to kill themselves then do it right and jump off of a building.
Just then a giant car fell from the top of the building where it was once poised as the buildings sign. The owner of the school was inside it. For some reason I knew that. His wife, an attractive, tall, light skinned, black woman with an afro was very distraught over this. Suddenly, her and I were perched on some sort of scaffolding on the side of the building. The scaffolding was about to fall and we were inching our way to safety. I was assuring her it would be ok. I made it to the end and found myself inside a garage. Jody was just outside.
My neighbor Jody was outside playing tether ball. He was trying to show me how to hit the ball in a way that made it spin backward for some reason. I tried a couple times after him demonstrating this. The ball grew very large and difficult to hit. I turn around and Trevor was there again. He stood aside a road looking as if he wanted to cross. A car flew by as I approached him. I told him I wanted to talk to him and he said hold on. After another car passed by he walked to the middle of the road and picked up a key. He walked back towards me and asked what I wanted to talk about. I told him I was dreaming and he appeared to be puzzled by this. I explained that I was at home in my bed sleeping and that he was in my dream with me. He didnt know what to say to this. I told him I was going to wake up now. He said see ya later and I did.
It all started years ago with my interest in lucid dreaming. A movie had come out called "Waking Life" and there was a small buzz about this movie any where a conversation about dreams came up. I investigated the phenomenon and found several techniques for becoming self aware in your dreams as well as techniques to remember your dreams in greater detail. One of them was writing, (typing), what you recall of your dream(s) as soon as you wake up. After doing this for some time you start recalling more and more details of your dreams. It has been many years since I routinely journaled my dreaming but ever since I had, the effects of the exercises still show. In that I am able to recall many of the things that occur in them.
In the past few months my dreams have been becoming increasingly odd, long and detailed. Also I will dream many times in a night. After sharing some of these adventures with friends and family, I noticed that people were becoming intrigued by my stories and began to ask "What'd you dream about last night"? I started writing them down again and I had the idea to start a dream blog to share my dreams with other people and have them share theirs as well. Dream Bloggerz was born.
So there it is. I dunno how much of a response I will receive on this little project of mine but I hope to at least have a few people who'd like to share their comments and dreams with me. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Sweet Dreams.
