jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Okay _______ is short and sweet. Last night I had a dream that I was in this elevator with Elizabeth and a couple people from the Wilcox Center. It was really big, and had these glass windows kind of like the ones from the pier. And I had the notion that we had to get to the 14th floor of this building and we were kind of stuck, and we had to kind of ride up and down for a little while until somebody called it from the 14th floor and got it to open. And down below there were these people bouncing balls in a courtyard. We were looking through the elevator windows and we saw. And I kind of shifted to another scene that I was like with the transition people, and I had these raw cucumber slices and I like put them up against my eyes and kind of squinted to hold them there, to get kind of goofy like they do in the cartoons, because I used to do stuff like that when I was little. And they got so offended, thinking that I was making fun of myself and people who had terminal legal blindness. And I don't know where all that came from. It was small, but it was kind of crazy. So anyway, I think I did a pretty good job of filling up this tape. For once I will have timed it so that I'm done when it's done. Now I can finally take off that little piece of scotch tape that I put on the one side to let me record over this "blah, blah, blah" tape, and I can take the tape off and it'll just be a regular tape. Anyway, you know what I'm saying. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | This morning I just had a bizarre kind of dream. Well, first of all, at night I dreamt that I was walking in a park and doing some kind of stuff with my mother and my father, and I had this thing -- I don't remember what it was -- but then my thing came on to wake me and I was hearing the dove while I proceeded on with this dream of mine. And then I was still asleep and dreaming, but I felt that I was laying here in my bed. And, as I was dreaming, essentially I was asleep, but I didn't know it, so I was dreaming that my hand could reach over and change it to 104.7 like I like to hear in the morning. But since I was sleeping, I had that tactile sensation, but I really wasn't doing it, so I didn't hear any audio feedback that that was happening. And I was sleeping still. I didn't actually physically get up, but in my dream I did. I got up and I looked at it, and it was even showing me the numbers of where it was going instead of the time. But I just didn't hear it because it was still on the dove and I was still .... [end] | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | What was I going to say? Oh, I get a little flustered sometimes; can you tell? This is a tape that used to be something boring that came in the mail that had a Braille label and I managed to rip it off, and I used this tape for me and ____ to goof around, as you could hear at the beginning. And so now I've got ample space left and I can't bear to just waste it, so I'm going to use it for some more dreams. I had the neatest one last night. First of all, let me start off like this, this is one of the bizarre parts. I dreamt that Celine's song, "Prayer" [she sings part of it] it starts off and the two verses go on just like they're supposed to, but in my dream there was no third verse and that magical key chain that she does in most of her songs. It was a car commercial in place of it. Can you believe it? And that's how I dreamt that it was recorded, and there was just nothing, it was like a big disappointment. And then I dreamt that I can't remember where I was or what I was doing -- but I was at this building -- I think it was a school or an office building or something; I can't remember what. But I needed to get on this elevator, and it was kind of a scary one because the building was twelve stories and I needed to go up to the 10th floor, so I hit #10 and we got there surprisingly fast. And I can't even remember what I was doing. Come to think of it, I think it was the Dome. I had to get up to the very top to do something with the sound board or something. And so I was at #10 and then I needed to get back down because I left my papers with the receptionist. And I got in the elevator and I needed to go ten stories down, and I hit #10 and I didn't grab the railing, and it just started to drop rapidly. And it's one of those things where you feel like you're falling and your reflexes make you physically jump and sometimes make you wake up. Well, I didn't wake up, but I felt myself jump, and I grabbed the railing and then I was okay, but it was like, "Ahhhhh," free-fall. And that was really scary because I could feel myself getting closer and closer to the ceiling and then grabbed the railing and then I was okay. So I got down, and I had the feeling like the door wasn't going to open immediately, but it did. And you know what was fascinating, there was so much more to do, but I can't remember. I let the day get away from me because I was putting this off. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | We'd just come home from our trip and last night I had a bizarre dream. I was in a bunk bed, if that had any effect on anything. First of all, I dreamt that I had to retake my AP test, and it wasn't the Spanish test; it was more of a test of the usage of English grammar and spelling, but mainly on what words had certain implications. And for some reason I had the notion that that test brought on a lot of feelings of pain and sadness and fear and all like that in me because in my dream I had the notion that I took the test a few years ago and I think I missed a question or two or three, and somebody who was giving the test wanted to give me a chance to redo it. And it was on a pink sheet of paper, but I had to put my new answers on the white sheet, just these three questions. And on the pink sheet were a couple of multiple choice questions at the top. Then, you know how Spanish verb conjugations have six lines going vertically down? Well, on these six lines, there were three sets of six lines, and on the first set of six lines I had to write, "Oh, do you know the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man? Oh do you know the Muffin May that lives on Dreary Lane?" And on the next set of lines I had to write, "Oh yes, I know the Muffin Man," and on and on. And on the last set I had to write, "Now we all know the Muffin Man." And I think there were one or two other things like that, and I had the notion that you were supposed to spell "do" like, "Do you know the Muffin Man" "d-e-w" and I was going to have something major wrong on the test because I didn't spell it that way, but I wasn't sure, so I left it. And I answered a few of the multiple choice questions about certain words, but they were like whacko questions. I can't remember them exactly, but it asked about the odd meaning of odd words with kind of a strange implication factor. And I dreamt that I was telling somebody that having to finish that test brought back a lot of pain that I felt when I took the test that I all forgot about. And it wasn't necessarily just a fear, but it was a fear-sadness type of a thing. And I don't know what all that's about; that was weird. But somehow I felt, I woke up in the middle of the night because the air conditioner was too cold, and then I went back to sleep, and dreamt that it was Halloween and it was 5:00 o'clock in the evening. I had no candy to give out except for a little bag. I had no sound system on the porch because my mother kept putting off and putting off getting on her bike and going to get some candy from the supermarket. My father was putting off and putting off going to the garage and fixing the Peavey system. So I dreamt that not only did I have to set up the Peavey system and all its parts, but I had to set up the CD thing and the wireless mic and everything all in about ten minutes, and I was feeling really, really overwhelmed. And there were these two teenage boys already ding-donging the doorbell and trick-or-treating. And I just barely had something to give them and a few decorations out. And then that was that. I faded into another scene that I was re-recording over the lullaby tape because the last song had accompaniment but no words. And I dreamt that I could just put the tape in and hit "record" and the recorder would automatically mix the new increment signal with the old. And it was a song that goes, [singing] "Golden slumber then you'll rise, ________ away to ________. Sleep pretty baby, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby." But anyway, I was re-recording that and then I faded into consciousness. I sort of had the notion that I had really don that, and I was realizing that I should have first copied the tape sound track accompaniment onto a CD RW, then mixed it with my mixer with my voice and recorded that mix onto the tape, not just the voice. And somehow I had the notion that that was all correlated, and the taking the test thing really had an impact on me. I mean, I didn't really feel it, but I sort of did. And I wondered have I taken any tests lately that have had some subtle implications that have blocked some subconscious things on, or what's the deal here? So that's that. I'm using up tape like crazy, I'm sure. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I dreamt that I was at Ace Field, supposed to do a DJ thing, but I was kind of lost and wasn't sure where I was. And I dreamt that I was on the opposite of the field from where I usually am. I'm usually at Gate 1, but this time I was on the side that has the sound booth, that was like about Gate 4, and it was kind of scary, not in the "whoo" fear sense, but in the sense that orientatively scared, and that I was like at this concession stand and I had to go up, but for a minute I was perched at the very tippy top, the absolutely toppest seat that you can have in the actual ball field area. I think it was the 5th or 6th floor, and there was a railing and I was looking down. And it's not very often that I'm afraid of heights because I look down, but that time I looked down and I was like, "How the heck did I get up here?" And I was thinking how somehow the gates were going to open in five minutes, and the equipment was supposed to be set up around Gate 1, and I had to get there in five minutes, and I was at this tippy top seat. And I didn't have any CD's with me, and I was trying to think of some excuse how to get them to lend me some of theirs. Like, for example, that I didn't know I was supposed to be here today or something dumb like that. And before I could even do any of this, I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I'm not sure how much tape I have left, so I guess I'll have to be prepared to stop when I hear the thing coming to the end, and then start my sentence over again when it auto-reverses. Anyway, I had a kind of a blah dream last night. I dreamt that, for whatever reason, my father had this mission to do somewhere up in the middle of the state. I think it was a medical thing. And he was going to leave -- I think it was Thursday -- and he was going to leave in the middle of the night and he was going to be gone Friday, Saturday and Sunday and he was going to be coming home sometime on Monday night. And while he was gone my mother and I and everybody -- it was kind of understood that my mother and I were going to go up to my tech school by ourselves and have a tour there. And get this -- Sheryl, Sandra and Sam were going to meet us there. And we were all going to come home and have a big house party at home. And I think they were going to hang around for the week, but I can't remember. They might have been going to be gone by the time we got home, I can't remember. But it was some party that we were really looking forward to. And so I think it was that he left in the middle of the night, and then it was the next day, and early Friday morning he was home. And for some reason, I can't remember why, the trip for us to my tech school was off, and we communicated to Sheryl, Sandra and Sam that they should come meet us down in my home town instead. And they weren't supposed to get here until Saturday afternoon. Well, you know, my father has to be thinking about every single thing. He was starting to do a lot of that around the house, and I was thinking, "Why the heck are you home so soon anyway?" And I couldn't wait for Sheryl, Sandra and Sam to get here, but I woke up before they did. And also in this dream, again before any of this happened, I dreamt that we were watching this spoof on the Mermaid movie, and there was this part to it that I never saw before. It was like telling some of the historical aspects of some of the characters that I never knew, like I guess some of Eric's friends. And Eric's friends were Arabic, and I dreamt that Eric was Arabic like Aladdin is. I guess the media is taking over. And I guess the movie showed the history of it. Wait, I think it's going to flip. No, it's not, I've got a ways yet. Anyway, it showed the history of Eric's background, which I'd never seen before, and I think there was one brief scene in the movie where King Triton was eating French soup or spaghetti or something. That was odd! Now I know there was something else to this, but I can't remember what it was. Oh, I know, during all the nit-picking and stuff, I was on the phone with Jane, and she had a lower voice, and she had matured a little more, and she talked about things that were more diversified and she was a little more pleasant to talk to. And I guess that's that. I guess it came from the fact that my mother and my father are going to take this defensive driving course to kind of lower their insurance rates, and it's four hours each day on two days, and it was on a Monday and a Tuesday, are the two days that they're going. And, you know, I get a ____ for them Tuesday and Thursday, so, of course, I wish they'd go on a Monday and Wednesday, but it's not given on Wednesdays. Oh well. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a bizarre dream. I was going to just go ahead and type it out because it's really too complicated to be describing on this tape. But maybe not; maybe I'll do alright. I dreamt that I was having this vision that when my father was a little boy he was afraid of the same sounds that I am, and that they affected him the same way. And I was having a vision that if a nice person were there to help him through it, it would have been a lot better for him. And the chords of C, E and G, the interval that would get me, is from G to E descending, or any chord for that matter from the top to the middle, top to the middle, top to the middle like, "Ding [higher], ding [lower], ding [higher], ding [lower]." And I guess in this dream I had a vision of somebody doing that on a keyboard and Jimmy's three years old crying, and that was weird. And then I kind of jumped over to another vision, that my mother had these candles. And they were candles, okay? Candles do not make sounds. There were these candles and they had different sounds, but there were three of them and they were called C-E-G candles because when you would light them, they would produce the chord of C, E and G over the sound system, along with a bunch of other crazy sounds. And this is bizarre. And my mother wanted to try them out with the sound system like at top volume. And it wasn't going to be a scary thing; it was just going to be a thing. And when she lit the candles, it was like -- you know how 1930s and 40's jazz was like, [musical sounds] -- well, it was kind of like that, it was like the funny jazz that we can't stand. And I guess that was the extent of it and then I woke up. I think the candles came in because my mother got some candles from Clark and Marylou. And they were just smelly candles; I can't imagine where I would get the thought that they would make sounds. Anyway, that's that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had, I guess, the most bizarre dream on record -- maybe not, we'll see. But anyway, the reason why I tape these is because I just think they're so fascinating, and it's so fascinating how we come up with these things that we don't even know we're thinking about consciously. And, I don't know, it's almost hallucinating almost. Sometimes I've wondered what it's like to hallucinate when people get high and all, do they see things and hear things like dreams that have previously sat and grown in the subconscious and matured there and turned into something whacko or something. Or do they just see random things that don't have any connection with them at all? Anyway, that's another thought to ponder for another day. Last night I dreamt that we were -- Sheryl, Sandra and Sam were in town again, and we were watching a video for my 18th birthday party, which I sort of remember attending simultaneously. It was like we started watching the video and suddenly I was there, that kind of thing. I remember it was just like my graduation party except it was like a year after, only this is not really what my 18th birthday was like; this is how I dreamt it was like. We were at the Orange Blossom and I focused in on this crystal chandelier that was like, "Whoo hoo, _________," because I had seen some crystal chandeliers in the ____ing catalog at the ramp (?) place. And somebody was sneaking in to do something, it was Sandra I think. Well, then I was like there at the party, and, you know, dancing and partying and stuff. And of all things, Sandra had Digital Performer on her laptop and she was like -- what should I say? -- recording and mixing the sound right there, kind of like what Dr. Moran was doing with Cake Walk in class -- no wonder! I can't remember anything about what she was doing, but then the next thing I knew, we were in my studio and she wanted to transfer the tracks to my desktop so that I could work with them, and I did a lot of hokus pokus last ____ and stuff and she said that my task ____ board can do a lot more than what I usually use it for. And what it is, in reality, is that it takes a_____ audio, turns it into digital, sends it down a USB and __________ because digital audio from a USB converts it to, it's like an external sound card almost. That's why I don't need an internal one. And it also had faders and a couple other controls on it that you can move tactilely and it'll send mini messages to the real faders to move. And Da_____ ______ thought that that feature would be great for me because I'm more tactile than visual, but I found that it was a lot easier just to go to the mixer page and look at one channel at a time and move the faders there because the task scan doesn't have the automatically _______ faders which is clicked in the position when you open up the program like some do. It doesn't move automatically as you move the faders on the screen; it has to synchronize them. And that is a real pain, trust me. And but so Sandra was doing all these things ________, but like ______ teachers that don't help teach me and __________ haven't discovered it. She was doing it right from there, in my dream, of course. And I said, "Wow, I should be able to do that too." And let's see, then here comes the most bizarre part. I was in this supermarket with Sheryl, Sandra and Sam, and we were like tasting candy. There was this one mix of candy called Amazing Grace that had like white chocolate balls and different stuff, but I had this plastic sign banana thing with a picture of a wave form on it, and it was represented as of the audio from the Wave Form editor. And I was down in this big center area, court like type thing in the supermarket with all kinds of people walking around. I was sitting there moving my finger along this sign banner, trying to highlight and edit the wave form. Now talk about bizarre. And I think shortly thereafter I woke up. You know, sometimes when I sit there doing all that editing, I say to myself, "I'm going to be seeing wave forms in my dreams." | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a dream, it was kind of fleeting. I don't remember too, too much, but I do remember the main components. I was at my college, going to my classes, going about my business. But in my dream my classes were kind of boring, and I had the notion that my mother was telling me that Mrs. Dougherty was in the hospital for some reason. And I can't remember, but she told me that she had really changed. And I had a vision of kind of in this dream, I kind of had a vision of the scene that my mother was telling me about. It was like a vision within a dream, of Mrs. Dougherty standing out in the hallway in front of the little theater at my high school kind of crying and feeling really dejected, and saying through her tears how she was just totally so disappointed with all her students and totally jaded by all of them. And she decided that teaching high school music just wasn't for her, and she was going to have to find some other profession, but it was in a really boring field she didn't really like. And I don't know why, whether it was for a nervous breakdown or for something unrelated or what, but she was in the hospital. And I dream that my mother was going to pick me up from my college at lunch time and take me there. And I had this thank you card that I wanted to give her from graduation, which I really do; it's sitting on my desk. But in my dream I was going to give it to her when my mother brought me over there. And I started out at my college in the morning, and instead of being in my class, my first class was in this bedroom and the guy was like 18 and he was a black guy and he was an instructor. I had a feeling it was Lorenzo from the electronics class. And it was me and him and four other boys that were going to be in his class that was taught in his bedroom. And he and the guys left, and I just kind of sat there bored for like half an hour, drawing and writing, and he came back and I said, "Okay, I'm ready." And he just said this silly little poem to us and then it was time for us to go to lunch. And I stood out where I usually wait for the cab, but in my dream I was waiting for my mother. And then I woke up. I think this came from the fact that Mrs. Dougherty called my mother and wants her to help hem dresses, and I want to give her that thank you card, and I'm kind of worried about how she's doing this year. I know her kids seemed better last year, and I hope they're better this year. Anyway, that's that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I had a dream that consisted of a lot of different components and scenes last night, so I'll try to remember what I can. There's no guarantee it'll be in any kind of order, but oh well. First of all I dreamt that we rented the Coliseum. I'm not sure if we rented the Coliseum or if we were just going to a dance that was held there. But we had the Coliseum, we were there, and it was going to be this Christineentine's Dance with this band, Tommy and the Fiends (?), I think, or something similar. And some of the fireman people and different friends of ours were going to be there. And I dreamt that, for whatever reason, we were riding our bikes over, so we wore our sloppy clothes over and we were going to change into our dresses when we got there. And I was going to wear my nice red dress and some nice jewelry, and my mother was going to wear her Franny dress. And you know what? I had the notion that this was a Valentine's and a Halloween Dance -- is that bizarre or what? Well, so anyway, we got over there and my mother forgot the dresses, so she had to go all the way back home and I was sitting in the Coliseum lobby and my father should meet me there. And I think I was there before him. And I had the notion that all of our friends were there too, but I didn't know who they were. And somebody up at the desk suggested that they all watch Brave Heart while they were waiting, and it was like a pay per view movie, and anybody who wanted to watch the movie had to pay. But they said, "If you want to watch the movie, show me by looking at the TV. If you don't want to watch the movie, look over at that thing on the wall over there." And, of course, I was just looking down the whole time, so I think it was obvious that I didn't want to watch the movie, but I wasn't sure. And so then all of a sudden I think I was in school and I was waiting for them to bring the costumes in school. And I was in Dr. Moran's lab and I had the notion that I had written a report in there and I had to print something, like my mother brought the first three pages of my report but she forgot the fourth one, so I had to go in and I had to print my fourth one. And that was successful. And also, then after I printed my fourth report page, I went to Cake Walk, even though it looked totally different than what I'm used to it looking like in real life, and I dreamt that I had, I was mixing like a scene from the Little Mermaid, and I had too many tracks and an audio track, and I don't remember what was in them except it was the Ursula scene. And I had to mix down the two MIDI tracks into audio track, then I had to mix the two audio tracks down into one, so I had to do a lot of complicated maneuvers in order to do this, and in my dream I had a nice big cursor that I could follow fast, and I didn't have this "when you flow" factor like I do in school. And then as I was doing all this, a girl came on next to me and said something like, "Hey, what are you doing?" And she kind of distracted me, and I think -- I can't remember -- but then the scene like suddenly changed and I was back at the Coliseum, but I was outside like on a beach, and I dreamt that now my father wanted us to wait for him on this beach, and he was coming with my mother with the dresses after a while. And they were having a little party on this beach, and I was sitting under a little umbrella so that I wouldn't get burned by the sun, and I was sitting on this like lawn chair that was like a couch almost. So I put my feet up and was laying back, and there were other people milling around getting like food and c_____s and stuff, and I had this small radio, about the size of my tape machine, maybe a little bigger, and it had an antenna that was kind of standing up, and it was on, but it was kind of quiet, and I was concerned about when people go by, was it going to be really odd or what? You know, like ________. And I was laying there, like, "Dee dee, la dee dah," taking it all in, and then I woke up. I never did get to the Coliseum dance. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I had like a really stupid dream a few days ago, and I thought it was too silly and too weird to put on this tape. I just wanted to forget about it. But today, I'm doing my research paper on dreams, and today I was reading a book and it was talking about all this stuff involved with dreams and what happens when you dream and stuff. And the only thing that was coming to me from my frame of reference was this stupid dream, so I figured there's got to be something to it, so I guess I'm going to go ahead and put it down here. I dreamt that we were in our living room. It was my mother, my father and I think Christine and Bill were in town, and we were sitting around talking about different things. And I was sitting on the floor and everybody else was sitting on like the couch. And then it was my mother and me and some guy -- I don't know who -- and my mother had these candy-coated almond nut things that were kind of real rough and like big, and this is the bizarre part. My mother wanted me to, I think she was going to do some and she wanted me to do some. She wanted us to smooth them out and make them smaller, and the way to do it was to put them on the bed in front of us and to like lay on the bed and like self-satisfy ourselves. And I saw my mother do that with the ________s and they went from these big pecans or almonds to these small, really sweet candies. And, you know, I don't remember too much more. There had to be more though. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of an interesting dream. It wasn't all that odd, but I wish I would quit having dreams about programs I used to mix sound. I mean, it's getting a little crazy now. I'm not really sure which of these scenes came first, but I think this is the first one. I was -- how come I can't talk this morning? Okay, I think I'm ready. I was at this -- no, wait -- first I was at the house and my Mac machine was on the front porch. In place of the white bench there was a little table where I was sitting and working. And I was working on some part of DP all visually because the rest of my system was all upstairs, but for some reason that was there, I guess because in my dream my father figured we could both work side by side, because he would be in the foyer and I would be out there. But the rest of my system wasn't there with it, and I was thinking, "How in the world am I going to be able to get this back to my studio where my audio system is. Even my task scan was still up here. And just about that point I was deleting a few sound bites, and I was working on something in DP, and Mary Jo and Ken's mother and their family were inside. I don't know how they got there; they didn't walk past me from the front door. And I think Elizabeth was there too. And it was like a post-graduation. We didn't get to come to the party, so let's have the party at your house kind of party, even though in real life they did come to graduation. And so I got up from my work for a minute and head into the kitchen to go say hi and then come back and shut down. But before I knew it, I was dancing with them, I was partying with them, I was opening presents with them. And it was dark by the time the party was like in full swing, and I realized I didn't get to shut down. And my father said, "Don't worry, I shut down for you already." And that was that. And then out of the group of people that was there, there was this one black girl, and her name was Arkisha, and my father was talking on the phone to a Geico agent named Arkisha before. But this girl Arkisha was about my age and she wanted to go to my college with me, and she said that she had these friends that were in this Spanish band that were doing some kind of recording test in Dr. Moran's lab, and it was like they're weren't testing out the equipment. The test was on them to see how well they knew how to use the equipment. And Arkisha thought that I knew a lot and wanted me and this other boy to come and help them because they needed assistance. And so in my dream my college was like just a walk away, like up on 7th Street, and it was more trouble to wait for the cab than to just walk over there. So we walked over there and I was barefoot, and I had like real sloppy clothes on, and we were walking around the school. And in my dream it was neat to feel the surfaces of the floor and stuff with my bare feet. And we went into Dr. Moran's lab, and it was bigger and it had a blue floor. And there was this little area off to the side where people let bands go when they have to record, which there really isn't. It was like an enclosed glass area with a stage and a sound board. And we were in there and Dr. Moran said that I couldn't help those boys because I knew too much and that I wasn't going to be just a hand, I was going to be wanting to tell them lots of information for their test. And so I was going to go home, and so I was walking out and walking home and again, it was more trouble to wait for the cab than to just walk home because I only had to go like two blocks. And then before I got home, I kind of started waking up, and then I realized where it really was and that it really was too far to walk. And then I kind of faded into consciousness. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | At this point all I can remember of my dream last night is that we were all sitting around in the living room naked, like we do talking (?). And there were these people outside kind of milling around. A little later on when we put our clothes on, they ding-donged the doorbell. They kind of said that they were looking at us and that, I don't know, one guy was kind of real sarcastic and said, "I made __________ over there." And then they got a little more serious and said like, "Well, you guys just ought to keep your pants on," or something like that. When we were out in the back yard and my father wanted me to carry pepper spray when I go places, and I said, "There's got to be a better way to defend myself." And, I don't know, he said something crazy like, "You'll scream and you'll get maimed and killed." And I think that I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I had kind of an interesting dream last night because it was like very vivid. I dreamt that we were going camping with Gary and Polly on a Sunday up to, I think it was something like Goldhead State Park, or something like that. And Astrid, when the dream took place, it was like a Wednesday, it was like a few days before camping, Astrid was over and, well, I think even before Astrid got there, my father was being a little crabby like he gets some times, and Astrid shows up and then Gary and Polly show up. And I'm thinking, "Oh good, we might be able to go a little early," and, of course, a lot of people to be with, so things will be under control. And I think Gary and Polly came into my bedroom and I was like half naked, and I got a top and I put on a top, and I had to go pee and do a bunch of other things. And little did I know, but Astrid was sitting around bored most of that time. And I came into the living room and she was telling Gary and Polly, "Twice now this has happened. She asked me over and got totally distracted," something like that. And I came and sat down next to her. She was still talking as I was walking up because she didn't now I was coming. And then I sat down and I took her hand and I talked to her to let her know I was there. And she moved her hand against my shoulder, which she's never done before in real life, and I was like, "I'm sorry, I just had a lot of cleaning to do and stuff." And then when she was, a little while later, she leaned up and kind of kissed me on the cheek. And then, here comes the really bizarre part. I dreamt that this camping trip -- well, not just for this camping trip -- it had been done before, to have my whole system and everything piled into the back of the car, have the back seat taken out replaced with my desk and all my equipment. And I think I was counting on this setup for this trip because it was going to be quite a drive and I had some work to do for, I think for Dr. Moran, but I'm not sure who. And I can't remember what in the world I was working on, but it was some kind of sequence. I kind of was thinking at that point that I would have access to the thing at school before I left , and I could do some of it there. And then suddenly in the course of all this, the scene shifted and I was at Dr. Moran's lab, except it was a huge room, and there were 40 or 50 work stations, kind of like in the commons on the second floor of the Business Tech Building that people were telling me about. Well, this place was like that except the work stations were like I'm used to working at. And somebody, like two or three work stations down from me, wanted to put a picture of Santa Claus on their desktop, and actually it was a picture of her uncle dressed as Santa Claus. And I heard somebody warning the person, like the Santa Claus picture that she had might have a virus in it, but nobody seemed to really concede. And then next thing I knew, everybody had Santa Clauses on their desktops because, I guess in that situation, it would be like a network and I guess what would happen to one would happen to all of them. But I had a Santa Claus on my desktop, but I wanted to get rid of it because I wanted the picture that I had before which I can't remember what it was. I didn't have a picture in real life, but in my dream I was used to having a picture of me in my home studio, I think. And so I wanted that picture back. And in the a process of trying to get rid of this Santa Claus and get my picture back, something happened, and I can't remember if it was serious or not. But it was kind of in a fog and I faded into yet another scene, that I was at home and I was listening to like the American Idol on 94.9, and it had somebody doing their version of Celine's "On the Line" and it sounded darned close, but it wasn't. And then they were doing like other people's versions of other songs. I can't remember exactly what they were. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Man, I seem to be having really neat dreams every day these days. I don't know what's up, but I dreamt that I was with this performing group. I don't know if it was a chorus of singers or a dance group, or just a group of friends, but it was some kind of group. And I had a notion that we were either going to perform or have some kind of fun that looked like performing. But we were at this big hall, like the Front Center, and there was an ice rink, and I wanted to get on the ice rink so that I could dance and ice skate with the others. But there were these, all these things around the perimeter, like cover things or grate things that I was afraid of and I was afraid of stepping on. And I was bare foot and I was trying to navigate between them, and more of them kept popping up, and so I had to just back out and not go near the ice rink. And I know there were more scenes, but this is what I get for waiting this late in the day. I don't remember any more. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Well, I guess you could say I had three dreams last night because it spanned three different areas. After all, they say we have a minimum of three dreams a night and a maximum of nine, so I guess I remember all three last night. First of all, this is kind of, we were watching -- oh, wait a minute -- I think there were even some more. I remember a fourth part to this. My goodness! Seeming you remember little parts, your imagination cues and you remember the rest. My father and my mother and me and even some other people were on this boat, and I can't remember for sure, but we were going to dock somewhere for the night, and we were going to keep going and then we were going to come back and dock in a different place for the night. And I think what it was, is we were trying to figure out where to dock. There was this docking place that was kind of old-fashioned that was built with like a porch swing and some interesting things, and a little lodge thing. And I don't remember why we chose that place, but kind of for the reason that we chose bed and breakfasts over just hotels. And let's see, I really don't remember the details, but it was something about this place where we were going to dock, kind of it was an open, it was a real live environment, like we were under water, but it wasn't; it was on top. It was like this hotel place. And so then the next scene was, is we were in this hotel place kind of sitting around, but it kind of turned into our living room, and we were watching -- or at least I was watching -- Celine's Las Vegas show on TV, and how some of the things were just so complicated. And then at the end of the show it had a feature that showed her dying of a virus that she contracted from Reyna, and that was like the worst thing. And then I think the next part of the dream was that I was in Dr. Schumann's class for Psychology and he was showing us different pictures in the book, like a baby, or a horse, or other things and asking us, "What do you think people would think when they see this symbol?" And the class was like totally out of it, but I was real involved and real excited about what he was talking about and everything. Then the next part was that I was in the bathroom of the Social Arts Building at my college that kind of put me in mind of the Birch Building at my high school. And there was this boy in there that, well, I just sort of knew that the alarm box in the bathroom wasn't working and this boy knew that a fuse had to be replaced, and he had the correct kind of fuse with him. And the boy wanted me to be in there with him when he was doing this because he said that I knew something about electronics that he was unsure of. He had this kind of real mamby pamby lack of self-confidence. So how it ended up was that I was sitting in the bathroom stall on the toilet, not really having to go, just sitting in there. And I heard him clinking and screwing and messing around, but I didn't see what he was doing, of course. And I was just sitting on this toilet totally terrified in fright of what was going to happen if the system sounded. And I was kind of like cowering down and something like that, and the boy assured me that when the alarm system is tested, it's only going to sound at like a quarter of the strength that it would if it was really a real incident. So believing him, I was a little at ease, but I was still real frightened of the whole thing. And [sigh], let's see, oh, when he finished and he put the thing all back together, he tested it and it was only a quarter of the intensity. In fact, I could barely hear it, and he was like, "How do I get this thing to come on full?" meaning the alarm system. And I was like, "I don't know, but you could ask the maintenance people." And he was a nice boy. He wasn't one of these teenage sadists, so he gave me time. He said he was going to give me time to get outside and get far away from the building and all like that, and when I went out the back of the Social Arts Building, it was like the track on the PE field of my high school, and I sat down near these people that I thought I knew. I started talking to them and they said how, for degree-seeking students, how your first semester was like four general ed classes, boom, boom, boom. And that's what they took, and they said how bored they were. And I was glad I wasn't in their position. And I think that the last part of this dream was that I was back in Dr. Schumann's class, and he wasn't showing us symbols like a baby or a horse. He was showing us more serious symbols like what does it mean to speak to people, how do you think people feel when they have their eyes covered? What happens when they hear certain things? And just real in-depth things like that. And again, the class was like, "Uh, uh, uh, uhhh...." And I was raising my hand and wanting to talk about some of these things, and he was like looking around for the rest of the "Uhhhhh, uhhhhh" people and trying to enlist them into paying attention and stuff. And then I woke up. I have a voice analysis to give about the second part of this dream, the part about being in the bathroom with that boy while he was fixing the alarm box in the bathroom. I think that, first of all in this case, the bathroom does not represent a cleansing environment. It might, but most likely it represents a live environment which would be the worst place that a person would want to be when an alarm system sounds. But what it could be is it could be a cleansing place that appears to have some kind of frightening thing to overcome in order to cleanse yourself. And, of course, the alarm system is the major element of fear in this part, and represents something majorly frightening. The boy, I tend to think, represents a higher power, because the boy really is sympathetic to my being afraid of the alarm system, but he wants me to participate in the operation that he is doing, even though he knows that I'm majorly afraid of it, because he thinks that I can contribute to it in some positive way. And he assures me that it won't be as bad as I'm making it out to be. And also he isn't, he gave me plenty of time to escape when he did want the system to sound at full capacity. So I think there's something going on here, something that needs to occur in my life that may seem frightening, but is worthwhile and I just to have to go through it. I don't know. This is deep, man. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I was having a dream that I was like a dual enrollment student doing Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at my high school, and only being excused for the time I had to go to the college. And I had a test that I had to take in Psychology at the college, but the test was given to the office of my high school for some reason and I had to go by Ms. Thompson's office and get it. And I had to do a couple other things that I can't remember, but I want to know why I keep dreaming about being back in Mr. Johnson's class. It was boring, so I really don't want to be back there, but I guess I keep thinking like I am. And I dreamt that I was in Mr. Johnson's class and we were lifting weights and listening to his boom box, and I had to get out of class and go take my test, but I was kind of chicken and didn't know how to ask him and he wasn't even around. And so I had the notion that I'd better just leave and go take my test. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a funky dream about Astrid. I dreamt that it was kind of daylight, but I was still half asleep, and there was somebody in my bed and I thought it was my mother, so I rolled over and put my arm around her like when I do when my mother would be in my bed. Well, after a while, she turned over and started talking to me, and I realized it was Astrid and she was kind of holding me too, just like my mother does. But for some reason she was calling herself Kendra. And we were talking about various things, like I don't think she told her Greek mythology story again, but she was thinking how, she was just chatting like people do. And, let's see, I think we got up and we were rearranging my closet, putting some clothes in order and stuff, and I was showing her my porcelain dolls and she was like changing. In life we just dress in front of each other because, first of all, she can't really see so it's not a big deal to her. And, of course, I can't either! And so it just works out both ways and we just dress right in front of each other. So that's what we did in my dream. And I had this glow worm that I was showing her and the glow worm had like a head band with a butterfly, and she was going to take the butterfly off the head band. Here's where it gets bizarre . So anyway, she wanted to take the butterfly off the head band of the glow worm and put it on a ribbon to tie around her waist -- I don't remember how and it was kind of a little scary -- but I was, for some reason she like did something really weird and I had to explain to her about a woman's body and why her private area was important to be clean and covered and all. And she seemed to understand, she seemed to be taking it like a sisterly thing. And then I woke up. And it's funny because oftentimes when I first wake up I can't remember my dream at all. And I just have to think for a while. And sometimes they come to me in the middle of the day. Most people it's just the opposite, and that's how this one worked. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a long dream, but it wasn't too, too long. I dreamt that we were going up to Be_____, my home state again, or somewhere up there, I wasn't exactly sure where it is, and we were going to stay at this rental like party house with, instead of Janice and Larry and Gary and Polly, we were going to stay with Sheryl, Sandra and Sam and Christine and Bill and Josie and Bobby. And there were about two or three bedrooms on the bottom floor, like two bedrooms on the top floor, and one bedroom at the very tippy top of the third floor. And mine was up on the third floor. Mine was the top one because I had like a lot of sound equipment that I was bringing in for their party, and, come to think of it, it wouldn't make sense to put me and my equipment on the third floor. It would make sense to put us on the ground floor! But in my dream I was on the third floor and this place had an elevator, so I guess I could get it down alright. And to get there I think my mother and my father preceded me because I had one more day of classes or something. And so I was on this bus, and I had two Peavey Escort systems for some crazy reason, I had a bunch of other stuff, but I wasn't sure exactly what. And I never actually had it in my hands. I had a few people helping me get it on the bus and into this cargo bay, and then when I got there, I don't remember getting there; I just remember suddenly being there. And I don't remember too much about the party we were having, but I do remember staying there, and I sort of remember something about us being together for like a little party or something, and it was outside on the deck. I had the Peavey system out there with the wireless mic. And then we kind of all went to sleep. I had the notion that the party was on the last night that we were going to be there, so after the party I didn't take the Peavey system down and bring it back to my room or anything, I just left it set up. And we all kind of went to sleep. And I remember that night I didn't go up to my room on the third floor with some other equipment piled into my room. That night I just went to _____ and I crashed in Sheryl, Sandra and Sam's room with them. And the next morning -- you know how my father likes to leave out of the house like 4:00 o'clock in the morning if we've got to drive across the state so we can get home at like a reasonable hour? Well, that's what we did, and, of course, I don't have any brains at that hour and then I think we were in the car and halfway through coming home, I realized I forgot both of the Peavey systems and all my other equipment. I left it there. And it was really a bad thing because Halloween was right around the corner. And we called Uncle Bob on the cell phone and he said, "No problem, we'll swing by that way on the next step on our trip. We'll bring it and drop it off for you." And we said, "Okay, that would be great." And, let's see, oh, when we got home, Uncle Bob had sent a new bag of Halloween things for me, like some plastic rats and some spiders and two statues -- no, three or four statues of cats coming out of pumpkins and ghosts and various things and like lab (?) statues that were like about as tall as my figures now. And there was a statue of Sir Mix-a-Lot, and at the base of the figure it said, "Baby Got Back." And, of course, my mother was complaining. Oh, and there was one other thing he gave me. It was like a head, a pilgrim head on a stick with a stand. And my mother was really upset because she didn't want to store all this new Halloween stuff. And she was like totally spoiling it for me. And all this stuff was meant to be a thank you for DJ'ing their party or something like that. And then I began to fade into consciousness and I was still kind of out there, but I realized that my Peavey system is on the porch. I just handled it last night, but I was wondering if I had left the wireless mic and other stuff over there. And then when I really came to, I realized that I only have one and it's all in my closet and that was just a dream. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream that I was, I got like a, it was not like a mini disc machine, but it was sort of like that, and it came with five or six packs of like little mini CD R's and it was like a mini disc, except the medium was CD's instead of they're like mini CD's. And I don't remember actually, but I remember thinking how good it was that I had five or six packages of these things. And I don't remember too much except I think my father wanted me to wrap it up and take it down to like the beach or something so that we could have a party out there and I could like open it for my birthday or something. And then suddenly the scene shifted, and I was in the downstairs bedroom listening to a couple CD's, and I dreamt there was a CD changer in there, which there really isn't, and it was like 6:00 o'clock in the morning when I was doing this. And my mother comes in and all of a sudden I was trying to turn it down because I'm a little embarrassed that I'm like just here. And she said, "It's alright, it's alright," and something like that. She told me something else that she's going to do. She's like going to do something in the kitchen or something. So she goes in the kitchen and all of a sudden the kitchen radio in there, I had the notion that it's a CD changer also, and all of a sudden the CD that I was listening to jumps over there to her and she has to listen to it, and it was kind of a dumb one. And I can't remember anything more. I think I woke up after that. There was something else I remember about this dream now. For some reason, after my mother and I had talked, I was laying there on the bed thinking up a story. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream that, well, I remember a bunch of scenes, but I can't really tell you which ones came first. But I'll do my best at putting them in order. This is going to be another one that uses up a lot of tape, I think. First, I think, I was having lunch with Ms. Fletcher at this little strip of shops and restaurants that I had the notion was part of the my college campus or just off of it or something. We were eating there and there were some interesting places there, and I was watching the time close because I had to get up to class. And so I went over to the Fine Arts Building, which looked more like the Media Building from my high school, and I went into class. Then next day I was there with my mother and it was like evening time, and I think I had asked her to take me to a bar or take me dancing or something, since I'm 18 now. And so we were going to this little restaurant place that we thought was going to be cool, and they had this table and chairs outside with their sound system set up and this band that was playing some good stuff. And we were dancing and dancing for a while, I think, and then she's like, "I've got to take you somewhere else for a minute, but we'll come back here, I promise." And she took me into this store, or some kind of place, next door in the shopping plaza thing. And it had an ivory-colored, off-white colored floor. It was almost yellow because of the lights. It was like Circuit City or something. And she was going to like boost me up on her shoulder. She used to be able to do that, but now my father's only strong enough to. But anyway, in my dream she could still boost me up on her shoulder. She's like, "One, two, three," and I was like perched on her shoulder and she was showing me this shelf way up high that had like six keyboards laid out on it. And I was like, "Wow!" And so then she got me down and we went back dancing at that place for a while and I'm trying to think here. And I think we danced or something, or we ordered some food or something, but then the scene just sort of like changed, and I was in the Fine Arts Building, which like I said, which kind of looked like the Media Building at my high school. And I was trying to find my class, I was trying to find Dr. Moran's lab in there, and I was walking around this hall and I came across this room that I went in. It was really dark and there were three or four girls kneeling in there rehearsing this song in harmony, and I didn't know then that I didn't know the song, and I had this like furry purse with me that was black and I sort of in my head called it a mink purse. And so I didn't really know them and so I just left, and I was coming down the stairs, and the stairs were real, real narrow. There was no railing on one side, and there was a sort of a "meh" railing on the other side, and I was going down the stairs and I managed to get down alright, sort of. It was really steep and really narrow, like I dream about stairwells being sometimes. It wasn't dark and scary like they are sometimes, it was just hard for me to navigate, especially with the purse that turned into my book bag in the other hand. And I got down and my mother -- I can't remember if it was my mother, I think it was my mother -- picked me up in the truck, and we were going to the park. And when we got to one intersection there were like, I couldn't see them but she told me they were there -- there were like two fire trucks, a rescue truck, and a ladder truck, I think -- four trucks all together. And I kind of felt like maybe my father was in one of them and they were going to a call. And they were all running their lights and sirens. How it would work was they would only run their lights and sirens when they were moving, so when they stopped at a red light, they wouldn't run them. And so it seemed that they would always be an intersection ahead of us, and when we would catch up to them and stop at their intersection, we would all go at the same time. And then when their lights and sirens would race past us and I would hear them real loud for minutes and then they'd be like past us. And then they would wait at the next intersection until we got there, and they wouldn't go until we got there. And then they ran their lights and sirens real loud in our faces again. And they did that like three times and I was like terrified when we got to the park. But fortunately, when we got to the park, they turned down another street and were gone. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I was dreaming that I had to go to school at my college and I had to ride a bus, and for some reason my classes didn't start until 9:00 o'clock so the bus could wait until 8:25 to come and it would be okay. Well, let's see, oh, first of all, I dreamt that, well, first of all in real life, there's a substitute teacher that comes in to electronics class when Mr. Martin is out, his name is James Hill. In my dream James Hill didn't think I was doing up-to-par work, and I was going to write this paper to prove what I knew and I was going to hurry up and write it long-hand before the bus came in the morning. And I can't remember what we were talking about, but my father and were laying on the bed talking and talking and talking and before I knew it, all my time was gone and I didn't get to write the paper. And then -- this is the crazy part -- there was this candy bar, actually on all the Phi Beta Kappa candy bars I had the notion that they would look interesting if we drew some kind of picture with like frosting. And I seem to recall the wrapper having that kind of picture, and before I knew it some kid ran up on the porch and offered me three treats out of his Halloween pumpkin if he could give me back one of the candy bars he bought from me, and that was cool. And I used that one, and I could have sworn the wrapper was going to have some picture on it for us to draw from, but it didn't. And I was saying how, if I had the time, I would be creative and I would draw little things in each square, but I didn't have that kind of time. And I can't remember why I put it . We were eating pizza for breakfast, the leftovers of Brittany's pizza, and I think I remember something else, just before I woke up and my father was walking out the door, he said something like, "But I'm not sure, but you guys just hate it!" And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream, but I don't know if it's all that important. It was kind of funny, though, but kind of boring in a sense. I dreamt that we were supposed to meet Grandma and Grandpa at this little restaurant, kind of like the days when we used to meet them at Ruby's all the time. Then it got to where we would drive over to Ruby's, then it got to the point they didn't really want to go out that much any more. But it used to be we would meet them at Ruby's. Well, I dreamt that we were doing something like that, except it was like this little restaurant like Chucky Cheese, and there was this set of tables that had reserved that the waitress brought us to that had -- what should I say -- this little circle of, it was like a choo choo train merry-go-around thing and had these seats that people sat in that represented little animals, like there was a -- they didn't really look like the animals to the sight that I had, but I sort of had the notion and the waitress told me that they were animals. One was supposed to be a sheep, one was supposed to be a lion, and I can't remember what the others were. And they called it the Ziggety Zoo suite or something stupid like that. And, let's see, I think I started riding in the sheep one, even though it was just sort of like a rocking chair with twirly whirls on the back, and it would go round and round and round and tipsing and over and upside down, and it dumped me out and I fell on the floor. And I think about that time Grandma and Grandpa came into the restaurant and my eyes were like closed. I could see darkness, I was coming into stage 1 sleep, but I sort of felt like they had the notion that I had fallen and I couldn't get up. And I was laughing hysterically still in my dream. And my mother was like, "She's asleep, she's asleep," on the floor there, and then I just kind of woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last I night I had several dreams, but the first one that I was in bed in this strange place, and my mother came up and I was kind of half asleep and half awake, and started picking the scab off my foot with tweezers and it hurt so much and I screamed. And then she was gone. So then I was out to find her. So we were staying in these like three or four level house unit things, like we were exploring across the street from the park on 5th Street and I saw that it was becoming daylight by the time I got out there. And Carl and Arlene had one and they were sitting out on their front porch. But I couldn't find the one for my mother and my father and there were a lot of them that didn't look like anything. So then I was just trying to run back and find mine and I couldn't. I couldn't find -- there were like ten of these things in a row and I couldn't find mine. And then I sort of woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Then I dreamt that we were with Allison and she was doing this little home video presentation like type thing and we were going to help her. I don't know if it was Allison or Terri, but I think it started out as Allison, and we were in her house and we were doing some talking and singing and stuff by video. Then I realized Allison turned into Terri and she was taking pictures of us naked, just as normal as anything, in this like bare garage area. And I had to go home and get another set piece, and I ran back and I set up, and they didn't need it after all. They were just going to take pictures of us on the couch. And that's all, I think. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I dreamt that my father had some kind of city meeting to go to, and my mother wanted to go to an art show, and I guess I was going to go with her. And there was something about, "Okay, this is the rule: we're going to each do our own thing and we're not going to run into each other." And so we set off on our bikes, and there was like this booth set up that we were supposed to go see, but we never really.... Oh, I know, she was going to go see her art, and afterwards we were going to do something together. And I was kind of being babysat at a fire station while she was going to look at her art. And they were doing something inside like a show thing and I got to go in and see it. And I was worried about them doing their sirens and this and that, but they said they weren't going to do that for some reason. While I was outside talking to a lady in the back, I heard three sirens, one each had two tones at different intervals, and I told her the intervals that I didn't mind. It was one broader than the usual. I don't know, but it was broader than the one that gives me nerves. So then we went inside and we got to see this show. It was kind of dark and we were all like sitting on the floor. This was this girl, she was playing taps on like a huge bugle thing, and then she had a keyboard that she was playing some jazz on, and apparently she got her right and left hands mixed up because her mother kept saying, "Wrong arm, wrong arm," or something like that. And then there was this Indian dance that was like shaking shaker things or something. Then suddenly I was with my mother again, and we were going off to, we were going to find someplace to dance and have fun because it was a Friday night, and I don't know if we ever found a place or not. I seem to remember looking at a menu at this bar place, but it's all I can remember. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream that Sheryl, Sandra, and Lee and Sam and Mickey were in town. I don't know if Lee was there, but I know the others were there. And I had the notion that Sandra was getting married again. I wasn't sure if it was remarrying to Lee, or if it was marrying somebody else, but her and Sheryl and everybody were like keeping everything all secret for some reason, I guess they just didn't know, and they were all kind of unprepared. She was just getting herself together. And I didn't really know if I was supposed to be her DJ sound person for her reception or not, and I was going to go over to her and ask her and say, "Hey, what about your reception?" because I had to know whether I should pack up the Peavey system or not. And I don't remember what she told me; I think she said, "I'm still not sure." So that's pretty unsure. And so I packed everything up, just in case, and I think we were in the truck going down there, and Sam was driving, and I was there and there was somebody else, I think it was Mickey in a black dress, and all the other people on a different vehicle. And then I kind of woke up. I didn't think this was important enough to put on here, but then I realized that maybe it is because it kept coming back to me all day today. And I think it came from listening to the graduation footage and all the commotion that was going on in our house that we'd been hearing all their voices again, and thinking about when they were in town and all like that. And I guess that's all I have to say. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a stupid dream . I dreamt that I was at our house, but somehow I was in the dining room and our machine was set up in there for some crazy reason. And I was working on XP, a much more opulent desk than what we have, and I think I was, I was either typing something in Word or I was looking at pictures; I can't remember which. But my father was waiting for me to finish something so we could go for a walk or something, and, you know, in real life it's set up so my father and I have separate logins so that our display settings can be set. Well, I dreamt that in my dream I was so in a hurry, I shut down and I forgot to logoff. And instead of shutting down, it was doing a restart and acting all crazy. And my father was leaving out the door without me because I had to stay and attend to it. And I think I woke up. That was really stupid. I'm kind of wired for sound tonight, can you tell? | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a long dream. Let's see how much of it I can actually remember. First I dreamt that me and Sheryl and Sandra and Sam and a couple other people were staying in this house, like a bed and breakfast, except the owner wasn't there. It was just the place was all to ourselves. And we were doing a bunch of things, I can't remember what, and it was our last night there and somebody warned me that they were going to have to do a fire drill just because it was in the protocol that they had to do it, but that none of us had to be there when they did it because they just had to test the alarm system. So I was getting dressed and I was getting my clothes on really fast, hoping that I could get out there before they actually did it. So I was getting dressed and I grabbed my bags and I slipped my shoes on and I went outside. And I put my bags by the truck, and I started walking down the alley a little ways so that I could be further away from the building, I guess. And I was just standing, when I thought I was far enough away. Well, Sheryl, she comes out and she has this red thing in her hand. I guess I thought it was one of the sound emitters from the building , and she had it in her hand, and I start running, and she says, "Oh, smart girl!" And she catches up to me and she stuffs this thing in my back pocket, and I rip it out and I throw it and I keep running. And she grabs it and she runs after me, and she comes near me with it again, and I ran some more until I was far enough away and then I stopped. And then I dreamt that I was in class. I didn't know if it was Business Law class or one of my new classes for next semester, but I was in class and they were doing busy book work in class, which is very rare, and I was doing mine and I was looking at something that I wrote. I mean, I was looking, I had this paper and it was, it had a big design on the top of an Indian holding a bow and arrow, and I was looking at something that I had printed on it from my machine upstairs here, like I had a printer. And I printed right over the top of this bow and arrow picture, and it was a big, like half a page, picture. And it was something very personal. It was a journal entry about the thing in the last scene about staying in the picture, running away from Sheryl. And then I was like in the kitchen with my mother, and I was standing up on this -- oh, wait -- after the bow and arrow paper thing, some girl kind of got a little faint and leaned on my desk, and the teacher came to the other side of my desk and was trying to support her. And I got like smashed in between them so that I could hardly breathe. I was feeling very faint, and I couldn't duck my head and get out from under them or between them or anything. And I can't remember any more. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had an interesting dream. It was pretty long, but I think it speaks a lot. I dreamt that my mother and I were going to go on this Halloween party boat and we had tickets and she had bought them for $4.99 somewhere. And we were going to kind of slip out because the party went from like 9:00 until like 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, so we were going to slip out after he went to bed, and we were going to go. And she was sleeping in my bed here, which really she wasn't, but in my dream she was. And we were talking about, actually I think we were laying on the floor and we were talking about how we were going to go, we were going to go and keep sneaking up behind us. And then I go downstairs and he sees how, I think he heard a lot of what we were conspiring to do. And he picks me up and he holds me and he feels really sorry that -- what should I say? -- I guess that he'd made the image that he had, and something else like that. And I just come out and tell him that my mother and I had these tickets to this party. And the party was supposed to be on a boat, and they were like for, they for cheap, and that we were going to go. So we go, and, of course, I was expecting like a big boat and a band and a show and a party and stuff. But this was like, you know at an airport there's a long hall that connects to the plane? Well, in this situation there was a building that was an art gallery, and there was a long hallway corridor that was leading to this square room, and there was a gray rug, and it was supposed to be the boat. This square room with a gray rug was supposed to be a boat, this big party boat that everybody was talking about. So I knew -- and even though it was supposed to happen at night, it was light outside, and the only seats were the ones that we were in. And I get on first because I'm afraid that we're going to be late, and my mother is there looking at pictures and she says she'll be meeting me. And who comes on and joins me, but my father instead. He like takes her place. And, let's see, so we start sailing, and it's like, they like do something, seal off the engines like they do on a plane, and we kind of shove off from the building with this square room, sailing through the water. Maybe this is because all I see of the plane area is a square cabin, but anyway, pretty soon, when we're sailing, the floor goes away, the glass in seals it goes away, they put some, that orange construction fence around and a board for the roof and just a seat and that's all. And then it stops and we're like swinging around inside of it, there's like water in it, and really not a party at all. But my father had me dive to the bottom and show me where there some connection made underwater for the sound system, I think, which I don't know why that would be, if there's no sound and no party. But anyway, let's see, I think we go past a beach and my mother just kind of swims out from the beach and comes and joins us. And then I kind of woke up. That was really a bummer because I was expecting to go on this party, but it wasn't. It was just a dumb little ocean cruise thing. I think this comes from the fact that Rib Fest (?) was last year and she and I went to see Swarner (?) and we had a great time. And this year BTO was playing last night, but it was their TV night. That and Third Watch was on. And tonight is CreAnthonyce Clearwater Revival and Astrid's coming, but if she doesn't come for whatever reason, we can go, I think. So that's that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I was having kind of an interesting dream last night. Let's see, how should I start? Well, first of all, I don't know if I was back at my high school or still at my college, but I had some classes to go to, and I was oftentimes I would go like to the bathroom in between classes. Well, in this one class that I was in, I met the teacher and she said that I really needed to not be late so much because I was getting behind in material. And, oh, this is so weird -- this class was a PE/ Music class. We were going to be like singing, but she said we had to get stronger by doing things like sit-ups and lifting weights and stuff. And so we would do a combination that, and I think there were like no more desks and I was like standing in the back of the room, and she was teaching us about theory, and she was showing how chromatic scales are a lot easier to play, but major scales sound better and more complete. And I'm trying to think, I don't remember the examples she gave. This room was like kind of small, but there were like, I don't know, two or three rows with people in front of where I was standing, if that means anything. And this teacher was like a nice woman, she was wearing jeans, I think. And I don't think Mrs. Dougherty ever wore jeans, and I don't think Mrs. Hager did either, but she seemed like jeans was like something about her personality that she was more like Mrs. Hager, more casual and what have you. But suddenly the scene like shifted, and I was at home and I was fixing some kind of lunch for myself, and I hear this funny sound in the living room and I can't figure out what it is. And my mother said that she had borrowed and brought home a Yamaha Clavinova, not from Dr. Moran's lab, but from this teacher. And she said that the teacher had told her that I was kind of like, kind of bashful about touching it, and she wanted my mother to work with me with it. And let's see, the thing of it was, when you would walk towards it, it would make this funny buzzing sound, like when you first, I don't know, a feedback loop in the lower frequency range, I guess you could say. But it didn't do that at home, I don't know why, so I saw it in the living room and my mother was trying to convince me to sit down in front of it, and it started shrinking and shrinking and shrinking, and before I knew it, it was the size of something for a Barbie doll. And then I woke up. Well, wait a minute, one other crazy twist I remember about this dream: when it was shrinking and shrinking, my mother like took a piece off of it, and I realized that it was chocolate with like vanilla frosting, and that it really wouldn't make any sound if I were to touch it and try to carry a tune. So she cut off a piece of the chocolate from the edge and I had a bowl of ice cream and she just threw this piece of chocolate in my bowl of ice cream. And I really didn't want to finish my ice cream, but I woke up before I could. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I had an amazingly wonderful dream last night. At first I wasn't going to record it, but then I realized if I'm going to be true to myself while I'm doing all this psychoanalysis, I have to record it. I can't just portray myself favorably like human nature says we do, because then I'd be calling the kettle black, trying to figure out everybody else's mishaps. So no matter how embarrassing it might be at times, I'm going to try to tell all that comes into my life. I dreamt that Sheryl, Sandra and Sam were in town, and they were kind of planning something for me for Christmas, and come to think of it, we were planning surprises for each other for Christmas. And we had just come back from some beach thing. I think we were coming back from a long walk on the beach that was nice, and we were all riding in this van - Sheryl and Sandra and Sam, Nikki and me. And my mother and my father were there. I sort of like had the notion that they were there because I heard them talk, but some driver was driving us around, like one of my cab drivers. And we were talking about various things, I can't remember what exactly. But my father was asking me questions like, apparently in my dream he had heard my CD that I had burned from Music and Computers class, which I really haven't burned it yet, and he was asking me questions like, "How did you do all this stuff?" and "Do you know how to play any songs?" and this and that and the other. And the van driver stopped and we all got out, and we went into this place that was kind of like the foyer area of the Rattison Hotel that we go to for awards and ceremonies sometimes, except this place was carpeted, and it was big and spacious. But I didn't know exactly where we were, but it was someplace fancy and elegant. I kind of had the notion that it was a furniture store because there were couches and chairs and tables and stuff spaced out all over everywhere. And I think there was a staircase off to the side, and it was kind of brownish carpeting. And my father had me -- think it was Lee, I don't know if it was Lee or my father -- but one of them had me sit down at this keyboard, like the model we have in school, and play "Joy to the World." And I put my hand at the top of the middle C octave, but as I was descending down the scale, like you do in the first line, I realized that the thing was like up sideways and I like, I don't know how to explain it, but it was like instead of horizontal, it was almost vertical. It was kind of like at an angle almost. And after you got down to G, the C octave just kind of disappeared and you had to take your thumb and go along the side of the unit with these "dup dup dup dup" things on the side, these little rounded keys after G. F, E, D, C were on the side; they were little rounded things. And it got more and more horizontal and more and more horizontal, and then I realized it was all white, but amazingly enough I was able to play this song perfectly. And my father was pretty amazed, and he said, "You have to have one for Christmas." And he said that this model that we were sitting near was kind of an old-fashioned type of model, and he was in search of one that was, I don't know, like a few generations up, I guess you could say, you know how units are. But somehow I wasn't really supposed to know and Sandra -- we were back in the van and Sandra was like, you know how Sandra is in surprises -- she's very good at keeping them. And then -- what should I say? -- down, a little while later the scene just shifted, and I was in the dining room and I saw the manual for the model that I was going to have, and I was going to take it over to the video magnifier and read some of it. But I woke up first. And that was that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had an okay dream; it wasn't all that great. But I dreamt that I was at home and there was this woman who came over to talk to me, and she was an elderly woman like Mercy Stinton, except she was calling herself Mrs. Lester, and she was talking like Mrs. Dougherty, so apparently she was a figure that was all of those rolled into one. Bizarre, man. And I was sitting on the stairs and she was kind of like laying on the stairs above me and like leaning on her elbow so she could talk to me, and she was saying how it would sure be nice if I could be coming back to my high school and attending a chorus rehearsal so that I could be in the concert. And I was explaining to her that I wish I could, but I have college. And you know how people sometimes lay a guilt trip on you and stuff. Well, she was like trying to do that. Anyhow, she had this sweet old lady kind of a voice, and Mrs. Dougherty doesn't lay a guilt trip on people if they're not actually in the group full time, but this woman did. So she was talking to me about coming to rehearsals and all, and I can't remember, but I think she gave me a teddy bear and some kind of diamondy-like Christmas ornament. And I'm trying to think what else. I let it slip away because I went back to sleep this morning instead of record it. A thing with me is sometimes I wake up with a really dry throat and feel like "bleah....", I'm in a groggy sleep state, and if I get out my tape machine and record my dreams, I'll sound like really far away like I do sometimes, and I'll be all dry, and you know how that goes. So I think I wait until I'm a little more awake and I'll sound a little more normal, but then I forget half the dumb thing. And sometimes I'm too lazy to reach over and grab this thing, so I guess I'll just have to do that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of an interesting dream. I dreamt that I was coming home from school and my driver said that he wasn't going to have any calls for a while, and it was the middle of the day and he wanted to take me to this theme park and I kind of had to say yes. So went there, and he drove me over this great big bridge to get in there. And it was kind of more like a playground than a theme park. They had all of this furniture and things out of wood and they had little play things out of wood, but there weren't really any rides per se. So we were for a little bit. He sat and he waited for me, and I took like I don't know how long, a little while. And then I decided that I should call Elizabeth and see if she could come meet us here. And she wasn't there, obviously, like she never is. And so then I was home and we were looking at this catalog at dresses and things and my mother was telling me that she had a dream about the chickens, and that they were eating, like they hadn't eaten in two days because of seed. And I went out there and fed them, and they did that for me. There was a white one and a brown one, and they were eating out of my hand like feverishly. And I think that's all there is. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a really complicated dream that doesn't make any sense, but I'll try to put together the bits and pieces. First thing that I can remember is that I was walking down the street with Astrid, kind of early in the morning, and down at the end of 24th Avenue there's 4th Street, and down there at 4th Street there's a bus compound. I mean, there's not really, but there was in my dream. And I could see the buses leaving from the bus compound, and there was a school bus that was coming to the house for me, and so I had to, Astrid and I just ran back to the house to try and beat them, but we didn't make it. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | And, let's see, oh, I dreamt that I had a chicken -- Brenna -- and she was like up here in the white bird cage, and I think she was there because there was something prowling around in the yard. And she'd been there a few days, so I decided that it was kind of time to take her out again. So I took her out and put her in the yard. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | And then lastly I dreamt that my father and I were at the park reviewing psychology, and we found this bench to sit on, and there was this dog that was laying near the lake, just laying there and seemed just exhausted. We threw him some bread and he ate it, but other than that, he didn't want to move. And then these other two dogs came running down the sidewalk, barking and yelping almost in unison. And they were just going over to that other dog, going to terrorize the heck out of him. And I stood up and yelled at them and ran them off, and they had collars, I think, because I heard them clinking. And my father got up and went off and ran after them and he came back and he said he caught one of them and he had it in a covered box. And he said he was going to report the owner to the SPCA or something. And then I think I woke up. That doesn't make any sense at all. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a mixed up dream. First I dreamt that my mother and I were at my college and going around to my classes, and it was like a holiday, so they had like stands where they had free food. And I was going around with a box collecting some, and my mother decided she was going to take it home. Let's see, they had everything that they were giving away, even little bags of chicken nuggets, and I kind of, I excused myself because I had to go to class. We went out riding bikes and I was riding the tandem by myself and my mother and my father were riding their bikes, and I was doing all kinds of silly stuff, like spinning around and around and around and around and kind of, you know, like that. And coming up to the point where the sidewalk changed, this is at South Bend Beach area, and I realized that they had gotten really far ahead of me, and that I should just catch up. And where the sidewalk changed there was this big round cover, and there were a bunch of little ones in front of it. And it was like I couldn't go around it so I had to ______ down and walk over it, and the bike was so light I could pick it up and carry it. And I went until I caught up with them, and my father had realized that my chain had fallen off, and he put it back on, and by then there was some lightning and thunder. And we were starting to turn around and head back home. Now I have a more vivid memory, and I remember when we turned around and headed back, the tandem was full-size again and I was on the back of it with my father and we were riding home. And then the scene kind of like shifted, and I was here in my bed and it was dark, and I was listening to the radio, which in reality it didn't come on yet, but in my dream it was on, and it was this techno-y rap kind of thing. And there was this scary techno song that had a s_____ score that goes, "Dee dee dee dee dee," and then, "Bee bee bee bee bee bee bee," and then, "Dee dee dee dee dee." And in my dream it was just really scary because it had that interval in it, and so I reached over and I was changing it to something else, that was, I guess, something smoother and easier. And then I realized that there was this person in my bed, supposedly my mother. I had the feeling that I knew who it was. But the person's skin was like wet, and I was thinking how it would be alright to listen to the techno-y song if my mother was there and I could hold her and all, but it was some person, maybe even a doll with wet skin, and so I had to get away from that scary thing and go to something else. And then I woke up and it was light out. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I had a very lucid dream last night, very lucid and very memorable. That is why it's still with me in the middle of the day, because I was too lazy to go get another tape this morning. So that's that. I don't think I'd do as vivid of a description if I recorded it in the middle of unconsciousness, like when I first wake up. But anyway, last night I dreamt that my mother and I were walking home from someplace and we were talking about getting my father this vintage collectible fire truck, remote control activated thing, for Christmas, you know, like the things Sam used to have. And we were saying how great it would be because it was nice and painted, and I had the notion that he collected fire memorabilia, but he doesn't -- Christian does. And so we were talking about getting that for him, but then I realized that when you make it back up, it does this stupid back-up alarm sound and that wouldn't be good. So we decided not to get it for him. But, you know, he got it for himself, and I kind of had the notion in my mind that he had agreed to -- I guess play with it while I wasn't home, kind of like I blast the sound system while he's not home. But anyway, in amongst all that ruckus I dreamt that I was watching a Celine Dion Las Vegas concert on my mother's TV in her room, and I guess I think I remember watching her sing a song of some kind, kind of like a _______, something in Latin, in a black dress. And then the pace picked up a little bit, but instead of singing, for all her dancers and cast, she was like suggesting fashions that would look good on them, going around and giving them these clothes to change into. And this one girl got pants that were slightly longer than the shorts of the others, and she asked why and Celine politely put it that her thighs were a little big and she needed something longer to make them look prettier. And I don't think that went over too well with the girl. And then, in the middle of the TV thing, I heard my father's fire truck thing that he supposedly got for himself in my dream, outside. Speaking of back-up alarms, there's two of them going at the construction site across the street, but they're not the scary kind. I don't know if this will pick them up or not. They stopped now. But anyway, I heard his thing that we supposedly got for him outside in the back yard and I had the notion that he was running it in the dirt, and I couldn't see it, and it was going, "Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo" and I could hear it from inside, so I was kind of like in a panic. And I went in my closet and I closed the door, and I sat and I covered my ears, but it was still the same level, in fact it was coming a little closer and getting a little louder. And he was even running his belt sander to cover up the sound so I wouldn't hear it, and it was still audible to me. And, you know, in real life that wouldn't be true. But soon after I woke up and I realized it was all a dream. They've been advertising the Hess (?) truck, you know, that they do every year on pretty much everywhere I've been listening, so maybe my subconscious was remembering the little truck that Brittany had that would make that crazy sound when it would back up. And Brittany was sensitive, though, she wouldn't do it while I was around once she figured out that it scared me. In fact, she was trying and trying to turn the sound off of that thing. And I think I was combining those two. You know, I don't know, I think that it's one of those crazy things that just comes up as a figment of the imagination. I don't think it means anything. One more thing, while I was cuing up a VS tape to record "American Dreams" last night, there was a Celine Oprah interview preview thing, and she was singing, and I had to put the tape on fast forward, but I wanted to watch the picture, so it was like, "do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-ahhh." And I guess I was imagining all kinds of crazy things going on as I was watching the elaborate Las Vegas show go by really, really, really, really fast. And I think that's it. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I think I had a dream about walking into outer space last time, but I'm not really for certain. I'm not sure if it was a real plane or a Disneyland ride, but it was something that I was flying in, like some kind of tour or something. And we were like shooting up, you know how that goes. And there was like this tour guide that was talking and saying something about how we go up into the atmosphere and we're in this dark realm where we can see the planets and things, and then we go up further and we actually escape the earth's gravitational force. And it's like, this doesn't make sense, man, if you can see the earth and you're out of its gravitational force, but I guess it's the orbit that I'm thinking of. We could be in orbit and see the planet, but still be in its gravity and then shoot way far out in the middle of nowhere and then be out of orbit and just spinning free. So that was a messed up dream with nothing to it, I guess. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I had kind of an interesting dream last night, but this is one that I don't really see the sense in yet. I dreamt that I was working on DP or something to that effect. It was some other kind of program that was kind of similar, but instead of just being in my studio here on the west wall, my machine was set up on a little wobbly table inside my closet, and I only had a little bit of elbow room one way or another. And the light from the monitor kept it from being too dark in there. And somehow I had a little bit of some kind of sound system in there. And I'm trying to think now, what happened. Oh, I think before any of this I had lent my machine to Terri, I mean the whole shebang, the monitor and everything, because hers is one of those all-in-one things and hers was down and out for whatever reason, and she had this paper thing she had to finish for her job, and so I lent it to her. And she brought it back to me and was setting it up in my closet like I needed it to be. And, let's see, I didn't feel claustrophobic in my closet. I felt okay, and I seemed to be content in that little mess. I was still a little crowded out, but I was okay, other than that. And I can't remember much else. Oh, I know. The scene kind of like shifted all of a sudden, and I was in the church, and instead of listening to just eight or ten magical singers, I was listening to this great big, huge choir singing and accompanied by an organ. And their songs were all right, but they weren't that impressive. Things are never as impressive as they should be in dreams, for some reason. Whenever I would dream of opening presents, usually they're like boring things. And things are just usually not as exciting in dreams as in reality. But maybe that's for the fear that they won't be. And that's all I can really remember. I think the thought of working comfortably in my closet relates to the fact that I think I would be just fine if I were by myself and nobody knew, like what I was doing or how much time I was spending on one thing, and I was just working along at my own pace, twiddley-dee, twiddley-da . And I guess lending my machine to Terri is something kind of literal. I wrote the Christmas wish letter for her, and hers is like so old, running always 8.6, bless her heart, she can't even get online. And I've offered that if she needs to run around on a faster platform, she's done enough printing for me, she should come over and run around on a faster platform for a little while. But I guess that's just some crazy thing that entered my mind. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a fragmented, kind of mixed up dream, but I guess it had some kind of sense. I was first, and most prominently, even though I think it was last, I dreamt that I had to go back to my high school for some reason, I didn't know why. But then I went in this office that was kind of dark and it had several layers in it, like it had several steps down in places, like the sound both at Ace Field. And I realized that it was the VE Specialist's office and I had to talk to Ms. Coombs. And I told her that I'm not back here to take any more academic classes. I've already graduated. I'm back here, I think it was to take chorus class or something, which I guess that would be explainable because I'm working closely with Mrs. Dougherty and I'm volunteering at my high school and I have one of my high school's volunteer ID's. And then Ms. Coombs finally got it and then Mrs. Hollander came up, and I was practicing speaking Spanish to her, and I was telling her that my mother will be there with her painting on Monday, and different stuff like that. And from what I remember about what I was speaking, it was correct grammatically. And, let's see, what else? Oh, before any of that, I was here in my bedroom with this really long tape that was given to me like in the four track format that the Library of Congress records in, and it was this kids' cartoon tape about different historic events that happened. It was about Christopher Columbus and his Spanish friend that came to America, and they were just being real goofy and silly on the tape. And I was trying to get to the part, I guess it was the other side of the tape that was talking about reading music, and Mrs. Dougherty wanted me to listen to it. But there was so much of this Christopher Columbus goofiness that I didn't get to the other part. I can't remember too much more, but I have this vague memory that me and four other people were in this crowded little store like an antique shop, but we were practicing singing in there. We were each dressed up as a different character, which they were last night, and there was an accompanist there kind of leading us. And we sang something and like everybody started crying, and I didn't and I was wondering what was the big sad thing here. I couldn't figure it out. And I think that's all. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I had a dream about sound last night, and now I've just got to remember what it was. We were at this place like the Grays Point or Beeker Park, and they were having this kind of little festival thing with cupcakes and different little craft booths and different things going on. And there was this little area only reserved for VIP's and only VIP people could go there. And it had this little orange net fencing surrounding it, you know like they do sometimes at blockade sites. Well, there was a gap in the orange net fencing and my father was putting bulb (?) and just ___ back there. We didn't know it was only for VIP's and we didn't have a pass, and once we got back there, everybody was very accommodating to us. And we went up on this deck and we saw some sound equipment, like a couple microphone stands and a couple amps and mixers and things laying around. And that was pretty cool, but then the deck was like the deck of a house or something that had a door on the front, like the front door of a house. But when you went in this front door, it would be really, really dark with only a little window at the top. And it was a narrow hallway, and it was deep. I mean, I should say it was a deep way down from the deck to the floor, and there was a window up high. The doors had windows in them. And the window light reflected against the wall and it looked gray. And we go down this tunnel. Well, first of all, in my dream I like was in a hurry to get in this door because there was a lot of sophisticated equipment in there, or so I thought. And I think this is an important part of the dream. And I went in the door and let it close behind me, I was so scared and petrified that it was so dark, that I opened the door and I waited a few minutes for my father to come with me. And he came with me and we, it seemed a little lighter when he was there with me. And boy, I'm using up tape like crazy here. Why I can't stop stuttering and la la la blah. Oh well, anyway, it seemed lighter when he was down there, and there was some kind of a sound system in there that had a couple of subs that went, "boom, boom, boom" with some kind of rap beat, you know how it goes in those big cars? Except it wasn't that intense; it was about the level of mine, but it was just kind of isolated and not a whole lot of highs or anything else. And I thought, "Hey, that's cool," and I had a feeling like it was like a testing site. And went down this hall and we came out. It led into like a nice little shop thing, and this shop had everything from like candy canes to little ornament ball things, to baskets of goodies and stuff. And I had a feeling it was like somebody's house, but it was a shop too, and there was a lady there that was real nice and kind and accommodating to us, and gave us something, I don't remember what, from her kitchen table, something like a sample to eat. And then we went out the door and we were back at the Beeker Park place, and my father said, "Want to do that again?" and I said, "Yeah." So we stepped into the orange fencing, we went up on the little deck, I saw the equipment up on the deck, we went down in the little dark tunnel thing with the subs that were booming and went through the lady's little shop, and, hey, that was fun. It was like a round, round, round circle. We did it a couple times. And then I had Astrid with me and my father, and I was leading Astrid up onto the deck and down into the little dark tunnel thing, and the tunnel thing seemed lighter and safer each time I went through it. I think that's symbolic. And this time I was leading Astrid through it, and I lead her, she wasn't scared at all, of course. Well, even though she couldn't see, she knew it was kind of dark in there and cramped and tight, and she didn't seem to have a problem with it. And then I led her into the shop thing, except it had transformed this time, and not only was it that lady's shop, it was like somebody's bedroom. And we were like snooping in somebody's bedroom and they had a whole stack of CD's and stuff, and Astrid was wanting me -- and all of these CD's were new, they were wrapped, like the shrink wrap. And Astrid was telling me, "Tell me what this one is, tell me what this one is," and some of the titles I could read and some I couldn't. And just before I woke up, there was this CD that had the cover of like a green spider web, and it had white lettering on it that said "50 cents," you know, like the rapper guy. And then I woke up. Man, that was something. And, you know, it's evening time and it stayed with me the whole day. Isn't that amazing! But I think this is kind of symbolic. In the past I have had a few dreams about a roundy-roundy-round circle that just is continuous, like, for example, I had a dream one time that a cellar went down into a sub-cellar that led out into a, like a netting tube that you would go up and get in the attic. And when you were in the attic, there would be a whole bunch of stuffed animals and it would be kind of hard to breathe in there. And you would have to fight your way through tons and tons and tons of stuff in order to get out of there. It was kind of like my mother's attic is. And then you would be in the house, and that was a circle that involved dark and scary places. Now this circle had a dark and scary place, but it was only one, and it involved sound, which makes me think about life when I analyze this. The fact that the tunnel seemed lighter and safer each time I went through it, I think has to do with experiences that are new and odd and scary. They seem easier each time I have the same experience, and I think the first time that I went in there when I was so scared and petrified and I waiting for my father, I think some experiences are like that. I am afraid to do them on my own, and even though he's more critical and slower and harder, I want to have somebody help me through them. And I think the lady's shop symbolizes like a house, like almost being in a home-like environment. I don't know, I'm drawing a blank there. But the fact that I had Astrid on this round circle thing with me, I think is that I think I've had enough in the sound industry that I can start leading Astrid through it. And that's all I have to say for now. My throat is dry and I've used up enough tape. Another thing I thought of, I think the fact that we started out that an event at Beeker Park or the Grays Point and going in that VIP section and people not minding us just barging in there has to do with the fact that coming into the sound industry in all this stuff, I started not knowing a darned thing and being at events like that, at public places, and wanting to go behind and wanting to just jump over those stupid fence things, and wanting to go talk to the people and they never really minded it. And that, inside the VIP fence is like inside another world. And I think -- I don't know if this circle was about life, or if it was about the other world contained in the sound industry, or whether it's about both. I don't know, but that's that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream that was kind of involved, but I only remember bits and pieces of it now. First I was in a group of singers, a special little group that Mrs. Dougherty had put together, and we were practicing singing, "What Child Is This," but somehow nobody else sang and I ended up singing it like a solo. And she was saying "Good job" to everybody, even though nobody else sang. That was funny. And I think we were getting some kind of stage ready for some kind of performance. We were deciding who was going to be where and what we were going to do. And then she took me aside and she asked me, she told me that she knows how to read music on a staff, but she wanted to know how do you read music in the form of mini data in an arrangement window, you know, like with the vertical keys and the lines and the grid and stuff. Well, that's what I was going to teach her how to read. And I was going to write a little book on that at home, but I was having a tough time finding some paper. And there were some other things going on. I think somebody wanted me to hurry up and get out of the house with them to go somewhere, and I didn't have time to make this book. And just before I woke up, I was writing out part of it. I remember something else about this dream now. This was a really important part. I don't know how I could forget. I dreamt that the phone rang or something and called me away from what I was doing, and I had to leave my computer like at the desktop, the Mac. And I ran to the phone and got called away, or something, and when I came back, I found my father sitting in my chair getting into my folder of word processing, all my journal and stuff, and just reading. For some reason he sized the window down to a little tiny, tiny thing and he was just reading, and he said, "I see you _____ a word processor here. Why would you be doing that?" And I'm thinking, "Ahhhh, this is the death of me!" And I finally convinced him that he shouldn't be looking at that, that that's a private thing, and somehow I didn't need to give any more of an explanation. Then some older lady was working with me and she took me online to get something, I don't know what, but something audio that was playing through the task scan, and somehow she shut me down without getting me offline, and usually in the world, you just automatically get offline when you shut down, if you don't already. But I was all up in arms that I hadn't been disconnected from the line, and so she had to start up all over again and get me offline and shut down. And I don't know what happened after that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had what I guess they would call a guilty taddle telling dream because it shows off what I know and it can't be hidden from me. And, okay, I dreamt that we were babysitting that girl Annie from the Barrett's house and she's kind of an immature kind of blah kind of person, and she had this program, you know, like they give out in the theaters, that kind of program, for this Brian Adams concert that I'm supposed to go to for Christmas. And I asked her if she could tell me what the date was that the performance was going to be, and she didn't really know how to count; she kept getting all mixed up. She kept telling me, "26, 25," and I kept telling her, "I think you mean 12/25." And she's like, "Oh no, it says here 26, 25." Wonder what that can mean? And she was opening it up, and for some reason it had all these stickers in it and her ticket, and I don't know what the stickers were for. They were like hearts and flowers and teddy bears. And I couldn't really read the date; it was too small. And then I went into the kitchen and there was this thing sitting on the counter, and I picked it up and I thought it was a piece of chocolate. And I took a little taste of it, and it was lipstick, and I was like, "Bleah!" And I've never really done that, so I don't know where that came from. And then I was coming out to ride the bike with my father, and I had this dress on that came to my mid thighs, and it was really cold, but I had this dress on. And I don't know why, and I was going to ride the bike in this dress. And that's all I can remember. I think I woke up after that, but I don't know. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had quite an absurd dream. I dreamt that after my exams were over and I was in my last meeting of Electronics class, Mr. Martin kind of really like surprised us and said that he wanted to take us all on a trip to the beach and stay there overnight, and so that we could look at the sunset and the wave length and the frequencies of light and how they change. And I was really surprised that we were going without any further notice, without any bags, without any anything. And so the kids in the class didn't really want me to go because they were afraid that I would get lost, that I wouldn't know where I was going and what I was doing, and stuff like that, like I've always had to deal with. And I was just kind of bull-headed and assertive and said that I've been to the beach lots of time with my family and that this will be nothing. And so next thing I know, I was there and we were all sitting around and talking and I was swimming with them in the water. And we just kind of swam around and I guess we stayed the night; I don't even remember too much. But when we got back to the house, it didn't even look like what I'm used to. It was this big, fancy, ornate lobby which they're known for and I had to get something out of his class, so I had to go upstairs. Oh, for some reason we were sitting in his classroom that was more like a living room, and it was dark and we were just all talking about the trip and what a wonderful time we had. And then we all went out and I was kind of going in the opposite direction of all the people and waiting for a minute or two because there was this whole table full of candy. They had like big dishes with lids on them, and I'm sure that anybody could just go in there and get some. But then I kind of lost interest. They hung around and they hung around, and I figured I had to get home and I think at the time I had the cell phone in my pocket, and I turned it on in case they needed to locate where I was. And they had this -- it must have been three stories, but it was real open and each story had real high ceilings -- and there was this roundy roundy round, real narrow staircase, just about my arm span wide. So I was hanging on, each hand to a railing on each side of this running down these stairs and spiraling around and around until I finally, I didn't even get to the bottom and I heard them calling my name on the intercom. And I couldn't really say anything or yell out that I was on the stairs or anything, and the office was right in front of the staircase. And the office had clear doors like the Learning Support Center does. And I can't remember actually reaching the bottom, but I remember being in the office and meeting up with my father and not knowing what was going to happen after that. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a really crazy dream. First I dream that, in addition to my three classes out at my college, I was taking a fourth one here at my high school, like a dual enrollment thing. So what I was supposed to do is go to my high school, be at that class from like 7:20 to 8:00 o'clock, then go out to my college and be at the next class by 8:30. So this class was taught by Ms. Arlo, which was the teacher that I had my first semester of the 9th grade, and she was strange, bizarre, bland, and I could never figure her out. She taught critical thinking and learning skills, which was a really boring, stupid course. But in my dream she was teaching that class again, and I had to take her class at the college level, and it was like a dual enrollment thing, I guess. And Elizabeth was there, and I think I went to the first class, but I didn't go to that class any more after that. In my dream I only had three classes at my college and I only went to those three classes. And in my dream I had no idea what my classes were at my college, and I got a notice in the mail and a little card that had my exam score from Ms. Arlo, and I had gotten a "D" on her exam. And I was thinking to myself, "Now gee, I don't even remember taking that exam. I don't even remember having that class, so what's up with this grade?" Then I remembered I had the class, but I skipped it, all but one day, and I didn't take the exam. And then the scene kind of changed and I was at this picnic party that I think was at like the remote park like Lake Sumner, and we were -- it might have even been Jenny Springs, I'm not sure, but we were by some water and it was kind of a nice even temperature -- not real cold and not real warm. And there were trees around and there were picnic tables all over everywhere. And it was somebody's birthday. And there was this guy I knew who was kind of like my best friend, and there was supposed to be Elizabeth's family and some fireman people in the neighborhood. We were going to all get together for this man's birthday. Anyway, I had the Peavey system. Where I got power for it, I don't know. Don't ask me. But anyway, that wasn't an issue in my dream. It was just supposed to run. And, let's see, there was a birthday cake, and here's the funny part: I had borrowed Astrid's keyboard because somebody was going to play and I didn't know how to, and it was set up and connected to the Peavey system and this guy was just jamming away, whose birthday it was. I didn't know who he was. And then I went off to do something else. I think I was running streamers from one tree to another. And then, before I knew it, I was back at the guy, and the thing turned into a cake. And I'm thinking, "Oh, my gosh, what's Astrid going to say?" That was crazy. And that was a cake and everybody was cutting up and having a piece. Oh geez. And then the scene suddenly shifted and I was at this movie theater setting up the Peavey system there. There was supposed to be some kind of screening of some kind, some kind of VIP party, and things were really, really running late and it was kind of like I was going to be sitting around for the next few hours waiting for people. And then I woke up. That was a strange conglomeration of things. Also another funny part as this dream was ending and I was waking up and fading into consciousness and coming to, I thought back about my classes at my college, and I was thinking, "Could I have really gotten that grade on that exam or what here?" And I couldn't remember any of my classes. I had to think about when was my lunch hour. Then I remembered I had Electronics class, then I remembered Music and Computers class, and then I woke up a little more and remembered Psychology, but I couldn't remember the first one. And it wasn't until I was like fully awake for a few minutes that I remembered, oh, it was Business Law, which I was a little doubtful of how I was going to do on that exam, so that might be where this dream got started. Also another part of this dream could have come from the fact than when I interned at Ace Field, during the baseball games they'd have all kinds of corporate plugs, people could win things and advertise a corporation. And Sam Ash Music sponsored a happy birthday thing for every game, and they would tell the birthdays of famous people. And they would show the organist's fingers playing "Happy Birthday" and then suddenly the picture would materialize into a birthday cake with a Sam Ash Music picture on it, so that might be a seed of that thought. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I was dreaming that I had three classes to go to and that they were in the afternoon. The first one started at like 1:00, and why I keep dreaming about having to go to classes, don't ask me. I'm sick of dreaming that. But anyway, my first one started at 1:20 and it was like 1:16 and my mother was sitting at the dining table just writing and stuff like that, and I was telling her, "You should go get the truck and bring it around. I'm going to be late for class." And she said, "No you won't; you'll be fine." But it got to the point where I was shaking her by the shoulders and yelling and crying, telling her to get moving because I was going to be really late for class. And it was kind of hard because I was just screaming. And I can't remember, but I think it was like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah," kind of blah. Then I was in this party room with these people and it was supposed to be something like a dance performance thing. It was going to be filmed on live TV and I was just kind of in the audience with the people. And it was a small room with a kind of a wooden floor, and it was, I think it was for the show "Fame" and I had the notion that "Crispen" won it last year--who the heck Crispen is, I don't know. And I was going in and out this room and going to the bathroom and few times, and then I came back and I was sitting around with people and they were talking about what they were going to do. And this one girl was doing some homework and needed to use bright (?) calculator, and it was really acting funny and we couldn't figure out why. And then suddenly I was, it was my father out at this little tiny building that I guess resembled the church that we had the party at, but it was more like a movable portable facility than that. And we had to go there for some kind of business, but I wasn't real keen on going in there because I had heard that their alarm system was real unreliable and could pretty much go off at any time when somebody so much as shook the place the wrong way. And so I stood back a few feet while they opened the door, and things were okay in there. And in my dream I really had to go to the bathroom, but I didn't want to because I was afraid that sitting down on the toilet and going would either make the alarm off or I would be lucky enough to be in there when, just happen to. So I didn't, I kept walking around for a little bit, doing different things, getting stuff ready for some kind of event. And I finally went to the bathroom, and then I woke up, and I had to go when I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | This is Christmas Eve, 2003. Last night I had kind of a hodgepodge dream of various different things. I don't know what came first, but I'll start with what I remember best. I dreamt that I was in this group of people. I think we were either singers or performers or something. And we were in a band room and we were kind of being taught by a man, but instead of rehearsing or stuff, we were talking about Greek mythology and we were talking about how to go around and take the path and the journey to find Theseus (?). I guess the ____ stories are going to my head. And so we decided we were going to take this little jaunt, trip so maybe we would finally understand how it went. And my mother was kind of volunteering with that and she came back to get me because everybody kind of left me behind. And everybody was going on their way and my mother was driving me in this van that is like the yellow cab van, except it wasn't yellow, it was brown. And it had like a two-way radio in it and I could hear Sparky talking. He's the cab dispatcher. And, oh, my mother was showing me that she bought these pins of like different figures for people to wear, and I was like dressed in this costume. And I don't remember ever getting there. And before that, I dreamt that I was investigating around by the tree, and that I had a longer, a box that was longer than it was wide and kind of not that high, and heavy and dense, and it was wrapped in green paper. Now I don't know if this is a prophetic image or if it's just wishful thinking, but I tend to believe it's just wishful thinking. And now I don't remember any more. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a whacky dream. I dreamt that I was attending this special school for like handicapped people, I guess because they were an institution known to do a lot of help for people and make a lot of things go well for people, and so they thought it would be good for me to go and visit them and see what they could do for me. And, believe it or not, it was like this private school, K-12, and since this was my first year with them, they put me in a first grade class. And I went to this first grade class for two days, I think, and then I realized that this was not just a health institution that would try to help you. This was a school that they were going to try to put you through their twelve years of education no matter how old or young you were, and how many you'd already been through. And then the scene kind of shifted, and I was like, I had a place that I had, somebody had given me. It was a dinky little apartment thing, and I was living on my own. Actually I was living on my own part of the time and living at home part of the time. And I was in this dinky little apartment getting some work done and stuff, and I called home and it was 5:00 in the evening and my mother and my father were like, "Where the heck are you? If you're going to leave the house, you tell us first." They didn't even know I had this place. And then I was, I think it was the next day, and I was going back to this place, I was going to bring them my high school diploma, show them that I had already graduated, show them that I was in college now and disconnect myself from them. So I went in the office and I had my high school diploma, and I chatted with the ladies; they seemed really nice. And I just told them, "I don't wish to take any more classes here. Thank you." And I walked out, and I showed them, and they seemed so impressed. I couldn't figure out what were they so impressed about? And I think shortly thereafter I was kind of in the phase of stage 1 sleep and waking up, and I was thinking how, I had the notion that the campus that I attended now of my college was really called Panella's Park High and it just had facilities for college students in the back forty, kind of like. But when I was fully awake, I realized that I was still attending my college. How come I keep having dreams about these educational conflicts? I keep dreaming that I'm back at my high school or that I'm not really where I am yet, I think because it's still for me to even believe. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a whacky dream. I dreamt that my mother and I were coming home from a trip to my relative's home town and we were outside the airport and Josie and Bobby and Christine and Larry and her and I were opening gifts. And the plane was going to leave in five minutes. Then it came down to that we missed the plane because we were opening gifts, and I figured, "Okay, we're just going to have to stay in my relative's home town for a few more hours until the next outgoing flight." And that was kind of good because we could go to somebody's house and stay a little longer. Well, it just so happened that -- I know this is very unrealistic -- but my father drove all the way up from my home town because he somehow found out that we missed the plane. See, we were going to tell him that our flight was cancelled, but somehow he found out that we missed the plane. And so he drove up and he was going to get us and bring us home, and he was mad, mad, mad at that old red hen, hen, hen. And we also missed the Bryan Adams concert and I was jumping up and down and saying that, "You have to take me to an equivalent one." Something else, but I can't remember. And that's basically it. When I was waking up and realized that all this was a dream and that missing the plane was a dream and the concert was still on, I was real relieved. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had two really funny dreams. The first one, I had the notion that I was interning at some kind of TV station like Time Warner, yet it was kind of like the Dome at where I was. And I think it was, I couldn't really figure out what it was, but I was in this control room and I had like all kinds of video equipment and a small mixing board in the back. And there was this real crowd of people in there. I couldn't figure out who they were, but this one guy was supposed to be the manager and his name was Sam, kind of like the guy we missed at Wussaker (?) Hall, and there were a couple of guys that I thought I know, and there was a whole bunch of people that I didn't even know that I was kind of wondering why the heck were they there. And we were supposed to get this show on the road, and I was supposed to help somebody with something. And there were about four or five people crowded behind the board trying to do all do the same thing at once. Gee, where have I heard this before? And, of course, I was just kind of sitting in a little corner observing all this commotion and ruckus going on, and then I kind of faded into another scene where I was walking down the sidewalk and I had to go through an obstacle course. And I was trying to tell somebody about my experience when I was going through an obstacle course. And one of the things I had to go through -- I didn't really have to go through anything but this one thing. In front of Jean's house where she has that fence, white picket fence, it kind of came out to the sidewalk and enclosed and made a box, and I had to crawl in the box and they close the door and then open it on the other side so I could get out. So when they closed the box, it was so small and tight, I could barely move through it, and there was a top on it like I was in a bunny cage. And then I came out the other side of the bunny cage and I went on my way and I was okay. But when I was in the bunny cage, I thought I'd never get out of it. I think this came from when I was like 3 and used to sit in the bunny cage and feed the bunny, but I never used to mind because I could get out from the inside. Anyway, the next little dream I had after I kind of woke up from it and went to the bathroom and stuff, is that I was back at my high school again -- I can't get away from dreaming about my high school and other schools I've been to . But anyway, it was either -- I think it was a cross between my high school and my elementary school. And I was skating on roller skates through the hallway, I think because I was just there to kind of help out with something. I wasn't really there to actually go. And I can't remember too much except I was in PE class again, and we were doing jumping jacks out in the courtyard thing. And, you know, I can't remember anything more. That's a bummer. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a strange dream, that for some reason we were going to a Giants game, but I wasn't going to like do any DJ'ing or anything like that. I was going to like sit and watch the game, and we were hoping that I could like sit in the press box and go to the sound booth or something like that. And we were describing who we were and my mother just casually mentioned that I graduated from high school. And the lady whisked us and said, "Here, let's put you in the graduate section." And there was a VIP area for people who had graduated from high school. And she took us off down this little hall and brought us in this little booth. It was kind of like a sound-proof booth. And they passed out -- there were like five of us in there and there was one lady. I was sitting up on a high stool so that I could actually see down and out the window what was going on. And, of course, I couldn't always see what was going on in the field, but I could see all the people in the bleachers and stuff. And this lady was like in her 70's, and she was like, "Can I trade with you?" And so I sat on the far right, down on the lowest stool I could, and I couldn't even see up above the window. And she sat in the middle in between like the five of us. There were like three boys and only two girls. And she passed out like snacks and little prizes to us; it was like complimentary things that came with being in that section. And we were supposed to get to hear all kinds of like inside stuff, but they didn't send it over our system. Ours -- and get this -- this was the craziest part -- the system that they had us hear did not carry the songs that, the periodic songs and announcements that Bobby mixed, and apparently we were just supposed to watch the game without sound. And they played teenage rap and R&B; stuff over the system that we heard. And that was crazy. I wanted to hear Bobby's mix. And I was thinking about how, when I was there at regular games in the sound booth, and I got to listen in on him talking about what to do and when to do it, I missed hearing all that because that was like really the inside scoop, the ultimate inside scoop. And, of course, to be able to coordinate it to listening to Bobby's mix and looking at the monitor when I could see what the video person was doing. And also there's another part to this dream that I remember. Before any of that, I dreamt that I was having a sleep-over birthday party with Astrid and Linda and Darlene and one or two other people from the Wilcox Center. I think Arlene Thurston must have been there too. And I think we had like just woke up and we were going down to have breakfast. For some reason Linda and me and one other girl were sitting on a towel eating in front of the TV. And Linda was bugging me and bugging me and bugging me and bugging me and bugging me and bugging me, like she does, about letting her go into my studio and make a copy of a CD. And she wanted a copy of like Asa Base (?) and now that I think of it, I don't know why the heck she would want that one because she doesn't like that kind of stuff. But in my dream that's what she wanted a copy of. And I was thinking of how, when my mother gets breakfast on and everyone's eating breakfast, I'll just run up there, make a copy real fast and bring it down and give to Linda so she'll have it and I won't have to have her mess through all my stuff and everything. And then when I got in there and I was sitting down to make the copy, I realized that I didn't have an original, and therefore the STMS was going to scream and yell in my face, and so I had to put in my personal CD player and do an analog. And that's when I kind of woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a really stupid dream . I kind of guess I know where it came from, but man, was I stretching it or what, when I came up with this one?! Not my conscious, of course, but you know what I mean. Well, I don't know exactly where to start because this was another one of those rambling saga-like type dreams, but I'll start at the part that I can remember the best. I dreamt that -- I think this is where it starts -- I woke up at like 3:00 in the morning to go to the bathroom, and I had a dream before, but this is the only part I can remember now. Okay, I dreamt that I was in this portable classroom. I didn't know if I was at my college or my tech school, but I was at one of them, and I was in a portable and the lights were off. And there was carpet on the floor and there were like traditional student desks. And we were going to have a presentation by Bill Putnam, who's the sound engineer, great. He's left us now, but in my dream he was still alive and he was going to come give a lecture. And for some reason I had this, it was listed in like a program that he was going to give a concert on a Hammond B3 organ, and so he came in the room, he talked to us a little, he greeted us, he was like in his 70's. He was kind of in his 70's or 80's and he kind of barely knew what he was doing. And he was talking to us, and before I knew it, he was doing this mime of like trying to show that there was these rotten eggs and how they were smelling, and there were these teddy bears, these teddy bear heads on a stick that somebody was swirling around above the supposedly rotten eggs. And there was like a little _________ things. He was doing this whole mime, and, of course, I wasn't getting much out of it because I couldn't see what the heck he was doing. And about three desks over, to my right, kind of in the front of the room, there was this guy, kind of like a side man with a keyboard, that was supposed to play chords and all that were going on behind the mime to kind of give it some music. And this guy was bad, to say the least! He was, I don't know, it just sounded really, really bad and he didn't know what he was doing either. He was just kind of like banging around, and it didn't go with anything that was going on. And then, I don't know what happened, but the scene just sort of like suddenly switched, and we were supposed to go on a boat trip at night. I keep having dreams that my father and us and the family are supposed to go on this boat. And so I dreamt that we were going on a boat trip, and I don't remember where we were going, but I know we were going to go at night. Oh, I remember -- this is kind of crazy, man. I don't know where this came from, but apparently, I think I kind of visualized this when we were out on our walks and this is where it came from, but I was supposed to be on the boat and sing and give a concert to some thousands of people who were along the shoreline and on docks and at the Coachman and the Wayne Point Park and stuff. And apparently not only was I supposed to sing, but I was supposed to play too, and I had an instrument for me there on the boat, or at least I thought they were going to have one there for me. It's one of those things where you think it's going to be there, but you never see it, I guess because, I don't know, but anyway, it was supposed to be there, and it was supposed to be there, supposed to be there. And I get on this boat and it's there, and we were getting settled and stuff and we're ready to take off, and I'm ready to stand up there and sing to the people out there, and the instrument starts shrinking and shrinking and shrinking and shrinking and shrinking. And next thing I know it's the size of like something for a Barbie doll. And the captain of the boat told me that I should take it home and put it in the bird cage for Archie , that he would want it and that he could benefit from it because he could learn some notes to sing. And like that's bizarre, man. And I think that is when I woke up. Man, man, man -- as _______ would say. I think I can start maybe unraveling where this dream may have come from. First of all, the Bill Putnam thing came from me reading the studio book, of course, but why he would come in and do a mime about rotten eggs? Don't ask me! But it's becoming more obvious to me where the singing and playing on a boat would have come from. Astrid has been making up stories about Phil Collins sailing through the Straits of Silla and Corybdus, and playing Silla's favorite piece on the keyboard, which is, I think it is, I don't know, it's called "Farralene" (?), it goes [singing] and a couple others, the theme of the Titanic and different things like that. And I guess seeing the boat parade, hearing her stories about that, and being down at the waterfront and visualizing a floating stage and everybody on land watching a performance out there. All that came together and made this bizarre dream. Now the shrinking, I think might be something to the effect that it seems so close, but it's not. And, if you know what I mean, and I don't know, just something goofy that came out of that, I guess. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream. I know there was more to it, but this is all I can remember so far. First of all, information: sometimes when the chickens get elderly, they get kind of in poor condition, and some age better than others, I guess, just like people. But in my dream there was this white chicken and my father wanted to wash her off on her back side because she was really getting messy. And so he was going to, he wanted to see if I could hang onto the chicken for him, and he was thinking of putting her in one of the like a harness thing, like you would a dog. And I said, "I don't think so, Tim. I will hold the chicken with my arms and keep her from getting away." And so, sitting on the picnic table with the chicken, she's white, but she kind of has the build and weight of a Rhode Island Red, and they're kind of hard to contain because we only have one left, and she's a red Rhode Island Red, but for some reason in my dream, she was white. And I'm holding the chicken and he's dilly dally, dilly dally, dilly dally, dilly dallying around, and I can't figure out why. And then I say that I need to, I realize that it's 2:30 in the afternoon and I haven't had lunch, so and the chicken looks hungry too, believe it or not. So I tell him that he should hold the chicken for a minute so that I can go get some seeds. I went inside and got a bite of my plate and I was kind of disappointed because I was smelling fried food in the chicken, but what I got was only a baloney sandwich. Then I came back out with some seed for the chicken, and I guess that kept her busy for a few minutes, and then we continued the operation. And he was telling me how bad she was looking, how it looked like she had a ton of bacteria and stuff because one time one of our chickens was like in bad shape. And then I think we were done and I let the chicken go. And there was this truck that was going by that had sirens on it and back-up alarms going forward, and I like fell to the ground and rolled over and laid there until it passed. And I can't remember anything more. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream that we were up in the territory of my tech school and I only had like two or three days, maybe even two or three hours before I started classes there. And we were like outside in like a park area, and I had to go into the building to use the bathroom, and I needed to ask the counselor and the secretary for a calendar of like time off and stuff like that. And so I went in this like real just blah building and it was like the lady who came out wouldn't let me go any further until I showed her my ID and I could prove that I was going to be a student in a few days. And I dreamt that there was this man counselor that I knew that she directed me towards that I had a feeling that I had had a real technical discussion with before, and that I felt real comfortable with. And he wanted to know if I had decided what kind of mixer board was best for me, and I told him I hadn't yet. And I got the calendar and I went back outside and then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I don't know if this is all going to fit, but I'm going to try. Last night I had a dream that I was at this theme park, and I can remember bits and pieces of it. Bad me -- I let it drag on until it's 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon now, but I didn't have time to record it this morning when I first woke up. So I dreamt that I was at a theme park with Elizabeth, and it was kind of a school field trip like type thing. And there was this ride called the Kumba Roller Coaster -- it was either the Kumba or the Montu -- it was kind of like Tyme Gardens. And we'd go on this roller coaster and we'd roller coaster around. It would be an "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" thrill ride. There was also this ride that I liked that was a slide that would like spray you with water as you were sliding down this big, tall slide, and you'd hear these really cool sounds as you were going by, like it had a really neat sound system, which that and spraying water just don't go together, but maybe they did. I think I heard something like that at some kind of theme park, and that's where I got the idea from. And once you got down to the bottom of this big slide, you'd fall into this swimming pool that was really deep and you swam to the other end, and that was okay. And we only had a little bit of time left, but I wanted Elizabeth to go on this slide with me, and she said, "No, no, I'm too chicken; you have to go by yourself." And so I went, but it was kind of funny because the slide wouldn't spray me with the water and there was no sound. All that it was, was that you could slide down the slide and that was it. And I imagined in my dream that this slide was pink and that the pool was pink, instead of blue like they usually are. And so, sorry folks, the tape is coming to an end. I will start over on the next one. Alright, I don't expect this tape to last me more than about a month's worth of material, maybe even less, but it's just a junky marketing tape anyway, and it's no good for anything else, and this is better than having it thrown in the garbage. So, let us begin! I am going to start over and repeat a dream that I wasn't able to fit on the last tape. It is now close to 9:00 o'clock at night and I am kind of fortunate that even part of it has stayed with me this long because I just didn't have the time to do it this morning. So anyway, I dreamt that I was at this amusement park, and I was there with Elizabeth, and it was kind of like Tyme Gardens, except in my dream it didn't really have a name. And we were like on this school field trip and her and I were kind of running around together, and I think everybody else kind of just ditched us. And we were like running around going on these rides. There was this huge, open park picnic area in the middle of the park that kind of reminded me of my college Quad, except that it had picnic tables and stuff and like amusement park type fencing and white-colored tables. And there was this one ride that was like the Mod II or the Kumba, and it was just a roller coaster. You would have to walk up very high to get to it though, like a boardwalk; you'd have to climb stairs and go up ramps and snakes and winds, kind of like you have to do when you're at a theme park, except this was all in the open and on a like a wooden boardwalk. And I wanted to get Elizabeth to go on that, and I think maybe we did, but I have no memory of actually being on a ride. Then there was this other ride that I really, really liked supposedly, and it was supposedly a pink slide that you would slide down and it would spray you with water from the side, and you'd hear these really cool sounds as you'd be going by. Now spraying water and a cool sound system don't exactly go together, but, you know, in theme parks sometimes they may have everything all water-tight. And I was trying to get Elizabeth to go down this slide with me because we only had a little bit of time left and I wanted to make us do this before we had to go. And the slide was pink and I went down it; she was too chicken. And it didn't spray and the water and it didn't make the sounds. It was just like a slide, because I think the park was like going to close, but I didn't feel like it was. And then I like landed in this pool of water, like you would expect at most theme park rides, slide things, and when I first landed in it, the pool had a pink bottom instead of a blue bottom like they usually do. And then as I was swimming behind this other girl, and I became aware that I was swimming over like a grate venting and my feet were about to touch the bottom, then the pool turned blue like they usually are. And you know how in dreams when you dream about swimming, or at least I do, the water like tosses you around and you like, you sink to the bottom as though gravity were holding you down, but you can still breathe by some miracle? This is how I always dream when I dream about swimming in a pool. I don't know why. Usually the water wants to pull me up because I'm a female and I have the female fat buoyancy thing. My father just sinks like a rock. But anyway, I have to really fight to get down and stay down if I want to dive under water, but in my dream I just sort of sink and I can still breathe. But anyway, enough of that. And so, I don't know how I got myself like all dried off and everything in such a hurry, but we went back to this like classroom that was at the theme park and there was a TV, they were going to show a movie. And I was kind of thinking, "I want to sit where I can see the movie," because I thought it was going to be halfway interesting, but Elizabeth said, "Nah, nah, let's sit over here in this section where we can goof around and nobody will see us!" And it was close to one of those like candy machines that they have at my college. And before anything else could happen, I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I guess you could say I had kind of a typical dream, something you would expect from somebody who has a class that they're going to the next day. I was dreaming that I was up at the right time and all and waiting for the cab, but instead of the cab coming for me, Elizabeth and Chelsea showed up at the door, and my mother and I got in their van thing, and we were riding along and Elizabeth and Chelsea decided to take us to Mr. Denton's house. Mr. Denton was my economics teaching in my senior year that, I don't know, he thought I was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but all his kids were really kind of "blah" anyway, and so was his class. And so he thought I was just so intelligent and so wonderful, but anyway, we went to Mr. Denton's house and they took a bunch of pictures. And he still had his Christmas things up. And we, I was looking at his little village scene set up things and they were really cool. And then we went to the beach, of all places. And we bummed around at the beach, and we were talking about various different things, I can't remember what. And then finally they decided that they were going to take me back to class, and I got there in time for Speech class, but I had totally skipped Ethics class. And I was trying to persuade my mother not to show the pictures from Mr. Denton's class to my father because he would know that I skipped Ethics class. And I think my mother and Elizabeth and Chelsea were going to go somewhere and they were going to come back for me for lunch, but I woke up before any of that happened. Oh, and I dreamt that I was real afraid because the cab people were going to say I was a no-show, so they'd automatically cancel the return trip, and so my mother and Elizabeth and Chelsea were going to come and get me and we were going to go have some more fun after my class. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a messed up dream, man! It was just so kind of whacked out. I don't know where it came from really, but then maybe I do. I dreamt that I finally got the gift that I had been wanting for some time. And, you know, I've been having these dreams. So I finally had it, and it was finally in my closet and I was so proud. And my father was going to help me set it up in my sound studio, but first I had to learn how to flush the toilet without making it clog up. And the trick of it was you had to hold down the handle until just after the stuff had made it down, and then let it go immediately after that. And if you didn't let it go, or you let it go too soon, the whole thing would be for naught, which for real life, in both of our toilets, we have to hold it down, but it's not the end of the world if we let it go too soon. So a couple, I tried it like three times, but it didn't really work right, and we had this big Jacuzzi like tub in the upstairs bathroom and my father had to take a dream clog stopper out of the tub to kind of let some more air into the pipes, I guess. That was crazy. And, oh my gosh, there was a big flash of lightning outside. But anyway, I can't remember what happened after that, but somebody was going on a plane somewhere. I think it wasn't going to be my mother and I going up to my relative's home town. I think it was going to be my father and my mother going somewhere, and I was finally going to get to investigate my gift. And I woke up before any of that could happen and realized it was a dream. If I keep having all these stupid dreams, I'm not going to know the real thing if it does happen. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a crazy dream. First of all, I think the first, I had a lot of elements that were real fragmented, now when I think about it. But I think I laid through a lot of stage one, just kind of half conscious awareness from 5:30 to 6:00 this morning, so that's how it got all fragmented. But some elements that I can remember first is that my application into my tech school I was pretty sure was going to be rejected for some reason, and I had kind of resigned myself to the thought that I just can't be in the sound business because my vision prevents me from doing some, perceiving and acting socially, and I think I move around too slowly on some of the programs and there's no way in the world that I can operate these big huge mixer boards. Now this is all what I'm thinking in my dream, as I'm standing in this yellow room with big boards all over everywhere, almost like our kitchen is now, except it was huge like a warehouse. And I was just standing there thinking, and I had the feeling like there were like tons of people around me, but nobody was saying anything, I didn't hear anything. I was just thinking all of this. [blowing noise] Ummmm, a big blob of snot! Anyway, now that that's out of the way, then the next scene that I can remember is that I was at home. It was like the night before I had classes, like last night was, and I was sick with some kind of cold or flu or something, and I was laying on the couch with my mother and we were kind of almost asleep. And I was singing to her. And I had some kind of thing where I still couldn't go to sleep and I had to get up and take some kind of medicine, so she got up with me. And we went in the kitchen, which was kind of normal, the way it used to be, and she had me take a few pills by drinking down some water and taking them. And then she gave me applesauce that had like peanuts chopped up in it, and I think I ate it and it was good, and as I was eating it, I woke up. That was kind of crazy, but I think this is a very telling dream that brings out some of the inhibitions that I have and this subconscious fear that I have, that no matter how hard I try, I'm not going to be capable in this field. And even if I were to realize that, I would be just devastated, and I'd probably be like a societal hermit for the rest of my life. At this point I don't know what else to do with my life. I know that's bad, but it is, it's true. And I guess I've been thinking a lot about going away. I've already started a little box of stuff, and I practiced filling out a practice application on last year's, in last year's catalog, and it slipped down behind my bed. And I figured, "Oh heck, it's just last year's scrap copy anyway; it doesn't matter." And I even had a duplicate in my catalog, but I think that might have had something to do with it. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I dreamt that Astrid and me were at my college together, and we were in this office waiting to see our degree program advisor, and I had the feeling it was supposed to be, I was already seeking an audio degree at my college. And I can't remember the exact title, but I remember thinking in my dream back to an experience that I felt kind of inferior, when we were in a class, kind of it looks like kind of at my tech school with a huge mixer board, and there was this one guy who was doing most of the work in the hands-on learning. And the other five or six of us -- there were like ten others of us -- and we were just standing there watching. And I figured, "How am I ever going to learn if I keep going at this rate?" And so I was thinking about that when we were sitting in this office. You know how they have the U line, the queue thing? Well, it was dark and they were playing a movie for us while we were waiting because we had to wait like forever and a day. And then I think I had a memory that I was going to ask Uncle Richard if he could lend me his copy of "A New Day Has Come" because it was in surround sound, and I was just dying to hear the thing mixed in surround sound, which in real life the truth of the matter is that I saw it in a collection of others in Sound and Vision. And whenever I listen to it, I think, "Man, would this be great mixed in surround sound!" And so I was going to borrow it from him and play it on his sound system, since he had a SA CD player, and I think when we were standing in that office waiting for that guy, I was like crying about something, I don't know what! And we were supposed to like, I don't even know what we were going to say. I didn't even know if we were going to see a man advisor or a woman, but it kind of reminded me of Ms. Maggot from Stephen King's memoir, and I think I was going to see somebody like her. And so then I dreamt that I was at Uncle Larry's house -- how I shifted to that scene, I don't know. But instead of being at Uncle Richard's, I was at Uncle Larry's house and I was going to play "A New Day Has Come" in surround sound, but somehow I woke up before I could do that. That was kind of dumb, wasn't it? | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a crazy dream, that I was taking this music class on Saturdays from 10:00 to 11:00 at my college, and it was kind of put that way loosely because we could go whenever we wanted. And it was supposed to be so that it could be getting credit without actually interfering with the rest of my schedule. And so I went there and it was given by this man, this kind of older man, on this huge front porch of this building. It was almost like a stage that this class was given on. And there were like five or six people who were in a van and the rest of us who were just kind of like there. And I guess we were going to take turns being in the van or something. But he was telling us how when one person leads you have to follow them, and if they decide to do one thing or another, it's kind of disrespectful to ask them about it. It's really just the opposite. And so I think we did the Bruce Hornsby song that I've been listening to, I think that's just the way it is. And I wanted to talk to the guy, but the guy thought that I was coming over to criticize him, and he ran. And then I dreamt that my place where I was studying ethics was like up high on a cliff, and I was going to find a better place, but it was so hot. And I dreamt that Allison was involved in all this because she was kind of the music teacher's assistant, and they were holding this seminar on a Saturday, and they weren't sure who was coming. And I said I was coming, but I didn't know about anybody else. And that's pretty much it, I think. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had two dreams. First I dreamt that I was up half the night just kind of goofing around and I was so upset because I couldn't get to sleep. And then I really woke up and I knew that I had gotten some sleep. And then I went back to sleep and had a dream about my tech school. I dreamt that, first of all -- this is the crazy part -- I think I've been watching too much TV -- there were these four or five people in my room that were kind of talking to us and all, and there was this one boy who wanted to see my DP program because he wanted to learn to mix too. And I said I'm going to come back and show it to him, and I went and told my mother. These four girls were the ones they weren't sure about. Apparently I had the notion they had been discovered in a room that had a meth lab underneath it. Oh, my gosh, I don't know what's up for that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | But after that scene I was at my tech school, which really I started off being at my college and I sort of found myself there at my tech school, and it was a real maze. I came in with my mother and my father, sort of like at the top of a little hallway, and down to one side was an auditorium, a big auditorium, where you know how the seats go, they went down. And to the other side was steps down into the lobby of the building, and all of this was real colorful like their brochures are. It was like in that brown and black and orange mainly, like their brochure pictures are. And to the left there was lots of little treats and stuff that they set out for people coming in, like little glasses with jello and stuff, and little dessert dishes and ice cream and brownies and stuff. And to the right was lots of stuff, lots of other facilities. And my mother and my father kind of trailed behind me and let me run along ahead, and it was like a real maze. By the way, I didn't taste any of the treats; I don't know why. And I went around to this other stairwell that led back up, and I wanted to see what was up there because I -- oh, before that -- this is kind of crazy. For some reason I had this set of cans that I picked up from the floor, and when I got to the bottom of the stairwell I turned around and there was these people standing by this little six-channel mixer up on the wall, they were controlling the sound system of the house. And I gave the set to them, and they said, "Oh thanks, they belong here." And then I turned around and I went up this other stairwell and my mother and my father were like behind me, but they were a few feet behind me. And I met up with this other, I had the notion like he was a sound engineer, but he was kind of giving us a tour, and he took me up this stairwell that turned into like a ladder to his little recording booth. And there was this opening that was like really, really small, and he said, "Nobody can get in here like this." He gave me his, like a ticket thing. I slid it in the slot and the whole ladder moved down and the whole thing opened up so that it was then the opening was about from my chest to my head, so then a person could crawl in. But the recording booth was still so small. I don't know how anybody could sit in there and work comfortably. And I was feeling really claustrophobic at this point because not only was I going to have to go in the small recording booth, but I was going to have to go in the, it was just real tight all around. And then he took us down and outside, and kind of around the back of the building, and we were like in a straw barn and we were sitting on benches kind of outside the straw barn, with hay all around and stuff. And there was a reinforcement system out there in the straw barn, and some guy turned it on and walked away. And for some reason I was so bold, I went up and I sat down at the mixer bench area, and the mixer board was green, kind of like an integrated circuit board, but it had all the stuff right on it, and it was flat. I found the two left and right CD faders and I brought them up, and I tweaked some EQ and stuff, and I was watching the videos (?) and finally I brought up my master a little. And I went back to my seat and then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I dreamt that my father was in my studio surfing the internet on my machine for some reason, looking for gosh only knows what. And he was on the phone talking to somebody and I thought that he might have brought up one of my journal entries from my folder full of stuff, and so I just kind of said, "my father, I'm sorry, but this is time and you have to move, you have to let me close this out." I closed it out and underneath it was the website that he had been looking at, and next thing I knew, I was sitting down in the chair and he was on the phone talking to some relatives. It was like I was listening in on a conversation almost. And I wasn't really on a website for any purpose; I was just exploring it. And apparently it was like a, you know the front of a Christmas cherub's (?) box that was real kind of crazy colors? That's what the theme of the website was for some reason. And I was kind of thinking, "Okay, I can do a search on the internet for anything I want." And shortly after that I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I dreamt that I was at like a fair thing with my mother. I can't remember if my father was there or not, and I think that Janice and Larry were in this somewhere. Oh, and I think Allison was there. My mother and me and Allison were walking into this little park thing. It was kind of like a scaled-down Tyme Gardens, and we walked in this path of flowers and little animals in cages and stuff, and then at a certain fork in the path, there was this sign that my mother read to me and it said, "Piggy Zoo Zoo." And it was kind of funny. My mother said that we're going to have to go into this auditorium, and we went in and we were seeing this like play. And my mother met up with my father and Janice and Larry, and Allison kind of disappeared. And they went and sat in the seats in this play, and I stayed behind and I sat at a table in the back of the theater facing the wall, meaning that my left shoulder was facing the stage and my right was facing the door. And I was in this little entrance way hallway and I was facing a wall to the right. And I was doing homework, and I was listening to them doing their play while I was doing my homework. And for whatever reason, I had this tape machine. I think I was listening to like notes I took from class, like if I had recorded a lecture, and I was like listening to that intermittently, and get this -- the main actor onstage came off the stage, came all the way back to where I was and said, "Excuse me, Ma'm, but you cannot be taping this for any reason at all, any reason." And so I was really embarrassed and I shoved it in my bag, even though I wasn't recording, but then I can't remember a whole lot after that. I think we were listening to this play some more, and then we went out and then we came back to like a hotel room. And my father was there and we were talking about something, I don't remember what. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream. I dreamt that, first of all, we had our PC over on the desk in the foyer like we have, that kind of squarish desk. Then for some reason on the roll-top desk we had a Mac in addition to mine upstairs. Now I think that was because somebody who went to the school system regularly needed to print out grades, and they had to print out grades on this special perforated paper that would only print in that kind of a printer. And so in my dream I had a solution to my writing dilErin. I would compose my stories up here, then take then down there on a CD and print them there because the printer would take perforated paper or regular paper. And the roll-top desk in my dream was like a huge, grand and stately thing. And, you know, I don't remember a whole lot else. Let's see, you know, it's a bummer. I don't remember anything else that happened, but what I can say is that I did a lot of typing for an ethics report yesterday and reading, my mother did a bunch of reading and I had the system on while I was doing a lot of this. And when I would look up to kind of rest my eyes, I would see, I would be looking at the desk from like right up next to it, and so it would look really huge. You know, all the shelves that are up there; that's what I'm talking about. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had two dreams, but it's such a bummer -- I can only remember one of them -- because I know the second one was good. I remember saying to myself, "This is good, I have to remember it." And then shortly thereafter, I forgot it. But anyway, I woke up at 2:30 in the morning last night and had to go to the bathroom, and I was thinking about my dream while I was sitting on the pot. And then I was only like half conscious the whole time. And then when I went back to bed and I was laying down, I was almost asleep, I reviewed my dream several times in my mind and said, "I have to record this when I'm more alert and awake. Believe it or not, it stayed with me most of the day. Okay, last night I dreamt that I was going with my father to this big expansive, empty parking lot to take the Peavey system and practice my speech. And he said, "Okay, we're going to leave in a few minutes," and I realized I didn't have my personal CD player or any of the other accessories that I need for here to give my speech. And so I figured it would be better to delay things and make them wait a little than to get there and be totally unprepared. So I took a paper bag and I dropped in my personal CD player, the mini disk recorder, some cables, my wireless microphone receiver and the wireless microphone itself. And then I was thinking, "Okay, I'm ready to run out the door." And then I realized I don't have the XLR cable to connect the receiver to the board. The wireless microphone receiver connects to the board with an XLR, and I realized I didn't have that so I had to dig it out of my drawer. And also I realized I had to dig out the transformer that powers the wireless microphone receiver. I had to look in a few places and finally I found it and I threw all that in a bag and I was running out the door, and then I realized it was dark out. I had taken most of the day to get this stuff ready. And each time I would put something in the bag, I would turn and run out the door and, I mean, out of my door and halfway down the stairs and realized that I had forgotten one more thing. And I'd come back and I'd put it in and I'd run down half the stairs, and then I was, "Oh, I forgot one more thing." And by the time I was all done with it, it was dark, and we just decided that we would go tomorrow. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a very active and interesting dream. I dreamt that Sheryl, Sandra and Sam and Lee and Nikki and probably Jason were all in town again and they were all in our house. And it was like they had all flown in and I think Sheryl and Sandra and I were visiting, and I think we took a walk around the park and everybody but Sheryl ran ahead, and my mother and my father and I and Sheryl were on this walk, and I was -- see, this is a dream within a dream again. I dreamt that I had this dream that Dan O'Brien had given me like a miniature guitar thing as a souvenir from his show; not a real one, but, you know, like a, I guess like a little refrigerator magnet, hang it on your mirror type of thing. It was like on the end of a graduation tassel. And I dreamt that I was telling all this to my father and my mother and Sheryl. And my father was like, "Now, what would be the point of that?" And we couldn't convince him because it was a lack of facts. And now that I think of it, I don't think that would be something that he would really think bad about, but in my dream he did. He was going on about, "What would be the point of that?" And why in the world would somebody do something like that? But then again, in real life he's always doing insane things that I'd never guess he would, so I guess that's where that would come from. And then suddenly the scene shifted and we were at home, and it was like bedtime because it was like 9:30 or 10:00 at night, and, you know, we think it's bedtime, but they go on hours into the night. So this is the crazy part! Sheryl and Sandra and Sam and me and Nikki were all going to sleep in the same bedroom downstairs, the master bedroom, with my mother and my father. They were all going to sleep in the same room! And I was going to be up here all nice and peaceful and quiet and everything. And for whatever reason, I took out the mermaid doll and I shoved it under my pillow for some reason, and I was getting adjusted and I heard them all jumping up and down and screaming, laughing, having a good time. So I figure, "Okay, I'm missing something, so I'll go down there and check it out." And Sheryl and Sandra and the guys were kind of wrestling. I don't know where my mother and my father were, but then I realized that I was totally naked and was probably embarrassing everybody but Sheryl and Sandra, and I said, "Oh, fashion, fashion," and they covered kind of my chest. And Sandra took each of my hands in hers and spread them all wide and kind of showed me to them, and was like, "Yeah, fashion!" And that was okay because, of course, it was Sandra. And so then I came back up here again and Sandra and I kind of talked about what, I do not know. And then I was resting again, and then I could overhear my mother was in her workroom and Sheryl was in there talking about how bummed I was because of what my father said about my dream thing. Oh, and Sam and Louise came up here because they wanted to listen to some news in the bedroom, and it didn't work, so they asked if they could turn on mine and I saw, "Sure." So I moved over to the left side of the bed here and I let them sit down on the right side, and I think Nikki was there too. And my radio turned into a TV and they were watching TV and they were watching TV, and I figured, "Alright, I'm going on the couch." So I went on the couch, and that's all I can remember, and then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a goofy dream that Jack and Patti were in town, and Uncle Jack was listening to my mini disk machine because I was like showing it to him, and there were some audio files on one of the things there that he was listening to. And for some reason I was going on a website that I could look at the results of the Top 40 countdown, and the songs were listed from like 40 to 1 and they had these little icons next to them with pictures that were supposedly the pictures of the CD covers but really had nothing to do with the song. I think that comes from like in Word documents and things, you have a list and you've got these big icons and list information, and it's just all over in your face, which is how I like it. But that's the way it is. I was doing that, and I kind of left it there because I had a feeling that he was going to want to see it. And then I went out in the front yard where they were, and I discovered that Jack and Patti were then sitting, laying in this like silk tent in our front yard. They had like pillows and blankets and sleeping bags and stuff in it, and they were literally camped out in our front yard. And I couldn't figure out why, but this is the really crazy part -- Jack had these butterfly stickers -- not really stickers, but laminated pieces of cardboard with shiny hologram butterflies on them and birds and all kinds of crazy stuff, pictures of bicycles and birds and cars and just stuff, and they were all squares the size of mini disks, and he could slide them into the mini disk player instead of lifting the lid with the latch. He would slide them into to this like a slot, and he had this projector thing in his pants, and he would hold the unit so that the front of it could send an infrared signal to the projector saying it would project it on a screen in my pants! And he was looking at jpeg pictures and seeing these crazy hologram butterflies up on the projector thing, and hearing audio files too, not just through the player, but on a sound system in there and stuff. It was crazy! And then I think I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Okay, last night I had a crazy dream about DBS mainly, which is kind of crazy because I never dream about them. But first in this dream I kind of had the notion that I was riding with my father in the truck in the middle of the night with my bag of stuff and the Peavey system, and we were going on a long, three-hour trip to do a DJ gig somewhere, but I don't actually remember doing the gig. I don't remember coming home, I don't remember where it was, I just know that I was sort of getting ready. Then my mother and I -- I think I do remember getting home from the gig and my mother had to take me to the DBS office to pick up some paper, and they had this big, huge complex, not just a little office in a big building, like they have. And so we walked over there when we got there, and we were just going to pick up the paper and leave, but Carolyn wanted to talk to me. And somebody else did too, so I can't remember anything about what I said, but I think I said, "Hi, hello," to Carolyn. And then there was this other person. She was kind of younger than Carolyn, but she was a little more kind of uppity like, just a little. And we were going around, I don't remember why, but she gave some kind of direction to my mother. They had this like field area out in the back that was for mobility training, and she wanted my mother and I to walk to it. And it was like a street, like a city street, with like just empty fields and nothing on either side. And how that could be anything big for trade, I don't know. And so we started walking down this road and I realized that there were these -- every so often in certain places, there were these like cover things, but they weren't covered, and half was silver and half was black. And when you would step on them, you would get an electric shock because apparently they wanted to do like conditioning to keep you in the middle of the street. And ever so often there would be one on either side, and if you stepped on it, I guess the silver half was the positive and the black half was the negative. I don't know, you'd have to be between the two of them, because you know how that goes. I think I had my white cane with me that time, and even when it would, when my tip would touch it, I would feel it through my hand, which I don't know why because my tip is plastic and the aluminum part is really insulated really well by the rubber top. I don't know, I guess I just wasn't thinking when I created this dream. And so we were going along, and at first I didn't mind, we were walking along and it was kind of pitch dark and we could see where the street was, but sometimes they'd have them in the middle of our path. Then they got to the point where they weren't just every so often. They were like all over, and they were getting bigger with more voltage on them, so it felt stronger. My mother still didn't mind them, so then she was carrying me over some of them, and she was getting them all and she was going, "Ooh, ah," but she didn't mind them. I was like petrified and she kind of didn't care. And there was no like turning back around and going back because this path was like a circle; it would lead you back to the building. We got back to the building and we had to go upstairs for some reason because there was a bathroom in there, and they had you take a shower after you've been on this trip, if people have any feet yet, if they're not black yet. But, you know, the really wild part, after we were on that trip I noticed that there were a few here or there inside the building, and so by that time I was like afraid to take any step in any one direction because these things, I didn't know where the heck they were and when they were going to pop up. And in some cases, when we would be in the hallway, they wouldn't be there, and sometimes they would just pop up, except in the building they wouldn't be black and silver; they would blend in with whatever was around. And so I never did take my shower as prescribed, but I had to go up and down the elevator, which wasn't just for anybody to use. Somebody had to specially activate it for us, so we went down the stairs a few times too, and we noticed how steep the stairs were. So my mother and I had to make a sign that said, "Beware, drops off." And I was kneeling on one stair and laying on the other, and there was the most awful smell on the stairwell, like gym sweat. And somebody was coming up beside us, and I moved over and left them pass, and I finished my sign and then I stuck it up there. And then we went down the stairs, and then, thank goodness, that fiasco was over. Then my dream continues though, we met up with my father at the Coliseum and my mother and my father were conferring outside and I went in and I was giving our information to the person at the desk, like how old am I, how old is the person I'm with, this and that and the other. And it was more like applying for, applying for some kind of government aid just to get into a dance. And the guy said he had a check for me because I had made that long trip and did a Peavey system gig. And so it ended up that I didn't have to pay to get into the dance, but he paid me for something. And so it turned out, just before I woke up, me and my father and my mother, we sat outside in the lobby and were eating some kind of lunch before the dance really got started. Now what I don't understand is when I was on the DBS mobility trail, the ________ mobility trail, I don't understand why it was totally dark outside and here at the Coliseum it was broad daylight. Oh well, that's one of the aspects of the dream. The next dream stems from a lot of things, the first thing being that I always have had something inside of me about covers, but they've always either just popped up or sprayed water or something. I've never had anything electrical going on. I think it's because now, whenever I handle the Peavey system outside, I'm conscious of it. Even this last time I practiced my speech, I was on the sidewalk and everything was dry, and I was still feeling a little bit of something. So I put on my shoes, and, of course, the fears went away, but still I'm more conscious of that now. And also I don't know where DBS comes into the picture; I guess because I'm becoming more independent lately and some people just don't know how independent I can be, not them, but some people I know. And we had to fill out a long, lengthy f___ application so the guy at the Coliseum desk asking me all those question fits in just fine. And he paying me for a Peavey gig is, I guess, because I got several scholarship checks in the mail, and that's the end of that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a really messed up dream, man. I dreamt that I was like riding in a cab with somebody and I got out at this like dollar store where I was supposed to meet my mother. And some guy in a tuxedo came and knelt down like to the side of me and grabbed my arm with his hand. And he looked me in the face and he said, "I'm going to make a deal with you -- you come with me and I'll keep your secret quiet." I guess I kind of like bit his hand and he let me go and I went in the store. I was supposed to meet up with my mother and I never did, and then I met up with her eventually. And then the TV people, some news people were calling me because they wanted me to go on TV for half an hour and talk about what had happened. Somehow that got misconstrued, and instead of that we were going to talk about what it was like for a warm-weather girl to be in the snow for the first time, and that was really silly. And I don't remember anything else in this dream, and then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of an odd dream, but kind of expected. I dreamt that, well, there was something going on before, but I don't remember what it was. All I remember now about this dream was that I was having my whole room, my studio, repainted, and not just that, but we were having the kitchen and I think the stairwell and the studio repainted, maybe even my mother's room. And some things were all messed up and turned upside down and messed around, and you know how it is. And I was in my room here, and they had just finished repainting it, and it was twice the size that it usually is, I think because when we were repainting it when I was 16 just before my birthday, we did repaint it, and it was like, it looked twice the size when all the shelves and everything were out, and my desk was out because it was being repainted. And anyway, I came in and they were starting to move furniture back in, in my studio after the paint job, and my desk was like big and black and the top was wooden, but the bottom was like plastic, you know how modern things are. And on my south wall there was this cart with like a ton of books on the bottom and a ton of CD's on the top, and it was like real ____ and said that it came from like a friend who was cleaning out the closet. And I could go through their CD's and books and keep any of the ones that I wanted for like DJ stuff. And so I started looking through them in a very orderly manner, and I laid a few on the side that looked like good party mixes that I was going to put on and listen to once my sound system was back together, because only furniture, but nothing else, was in there at this point. And then my father came in when I had like two or three laid aside, and he was saying something like, "Do you think you can put all this stuff back together?" meaning the sound system and all the equipment. And he said, "Then after you do that, you can resume and maintain your privacy," or something like that, and I said, "Sure, I think I can do that." So even though it was like a monumental task -- not only the sound system, but the mixer and the computer and everything was like all, all the components and everything were just laid out on my bed. And he was like, "I think that attempt is going to fail. I know it's going to fail." And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | You know what? I had a bizarre dream last night! I dreamt that -- damn it, I keep getting interrupted. Anyway, I dreamt that I had to take three more classes at my college this summer and they were going to be like theory classes and like fun stuff, almost like art classes. And I was deciding which ones they would be. And I dreamt that my father had this, either a violin or a dulcimer or a mandolin or something that he found either at a garage sale or in the dumpster, and he taught himself to play it. I can't remember what song it was, but he was trying to teach himself, "Oh Shenandoah." And he was also, he knew "This Land is Your Land," and I was feeling his fingers and how they were moving while he was playing it, and I was thinking, "Wow, isn't this cool? I thought he would never learn such a thing." And he was going to teach me, but I was kind of embarrassed at first, I don't know why. And this dream mostly consisted of those notions, and sitting out in the front yard and watching my father play his instrument, whatever it was. And then I was in this big yellow room again and my mother was asking me what kind of classes was I going to take. And I remember she was saying it was okay if I took an online class, because I think I've still got it in the back of my head that I would rather take that music theory class than speech because it's an online thing. And that's pretty much it in a nutshell. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a really embarrassing dream, and I don't know where it came from or what it's about, so I really can't be responsible for it. I dreamt that I was in this kind of semi-dark house with a tile floor, and there was a stairway like ours and there was a light on in the stairwell. But I was sitting like on a wooden chair in the middle of this living room floor, and I was babysitting this little boy. And he was like jumping up and down on the couch and stuff, and I think there was a coffee table over in front of the couch, like in our living room. And, like I said, it had a tile floor and it was kind of semi-dark, but there was light coming in the window and there was light coming from the stairwell. And this boy -- he'd come over to me and he would lean on my leg and, well, how do I say it? He would get himself hot from that. And then he would go back to jumping up and down on the couch, and I think he would do it over on the couch too. And in my dream I wasn't really concerned or embarrassed. And then his mother was there, and I was sitting on that chair on his mother's lap, and he was still running around, checking over things and jumping on the couch and coming back and doing the same thing. And that was really all there was to it, and then I woke up. That was crazy! | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a bizarre dream. First, the first little theme part was that somebody was pregnant and they didn't want their baby, so they somehow transferred it into my mother's body, and I guess she even acted like a mama duck sitting on her eggs. She was sitting there in like her flowing robe singing, "La La Loo," to help the baby grow, and I had to harmonize with her if I wanted to help create the baby. And so I did, and I saw in this particular scene she was on a little chair on the upstairs landing. And then, jumping to the next scene, we were on this boat and it was all dark. It was like a semi-big like private sailboat or something, and it had these tight quarters inside the cabin, and we were going up to the second floor of the cabin for some reason. And something was wrong with the boat, and in order to get it repaired, the man who was out on the boat with us had to go up to the second floor of the cabin, which you just kneel and you couldn't stand up in the second floor of the cabin. And he had to lay down in this bed that he could just barely fit in, meaning because it was so tight and so low. And there were these bright lights that they had to turn on inside this little bed cubicle, right on the man. And this lady had to ask him questions about what was wrong with the boat under these bright lights and then she could finally fix it. But while this was going on we heard a big boom down in the lower part of the boat, and we were like, "Oh, my gosh, we have to get off." And I was wondering if I could out of the upper floor of the cabin because it was so tight, and somehow I managed to get onto the deck. And then I woke up and I was having little dreams about us being in the kitchen listening to Bryan _______. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Have you noticed how when I record with this unit in here, it sounds a certain way, but when I go into my studio, the walls, there's less stuff to absorb the sound and so the acoustics are different in there. And in the last entry I used my mother's boom box because this one was downstairs because I was using it for my Spanish lab stuff. And so it was just different, and I just think it's so cool, the way you can tell immediately, if you know your units, which one you used and where you were when you did it. It's obvious I'm using my mother's boom box again because my hand-held one's down by the CC TV and I was using it for Spanish. Last night I was dreaming that I had to take all my equipment up to my relative's home town, not just my mixer and my CD recorder, but my receiver and a DVD player and everything. It was like I was going to be really weighed down. And I think it was because somebody wanted me to do a gig when I got up there or something. And so I was setting things up in the living room on a little table as kind of a test run, and I had the mixer and I had a VCR that I had to connect to it, and I also had my CD recorder, and I also had, I think, a DVD player. And I was trying to figure out how in the heck was I going to connect all three of these things when I already had two sets of RCA inputs, and I could use adaptors for the other one. And I think either my cables weren't long enough or something, but I had to do a little switching around. And then I was nailing down and explaining to my father what the significance of having a, like a surround sound system is with DVD's and stuff, and then I woke up. That was a very obviously literal dream because we're going to be going here shortly. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I was having a crazy dream, and it stayed with me most of the day. I dreamt that Sheryl and Sam were in town and Sandra and Lee were going to be coming real soon. I think me and Sheryl were going to go to the beach or something, and I was trying to record something and Sheryl was kind of messing it all up on purpose as a joke, and not only messing it all up, but making it obvious to everybody else what I was doing. And Sam was just kind of sitting there like, "bleah." I think we were in the bedroom. Oh no, Sheryl and another girl and me and probably Sam were up in the bedroom up here, and we had the twin beds, like we had in the old days. I had the notion that my father was picking up Sandra and Lee from the airport. He called home from the cell phone to say that he was coming soon, but our land line rang with the same ring tone that our cell phone rings with, and that was really weird because I was all confused. What else? Oh, in this dream I had this feeling like even though Sheryl played the joke with me, I felt closer to her and Sam than I did to Sandra and Lee. And I think it's because she's so distant and she hardly ever calls or writes or anything. She's kind of like estranging herself from the family somehow because she thinks we're not going to accept her for who she is. And she's having all these problems and she wants to hide them from us because we're going to say, "We told you so." So that's why in this dream I got the feeling like I wasn't really as close to them, but on that regard, I kind of feel a little hurt at times because I'm her sister and she can't even talk to me about it because she knows that I'm connected to her father and she thinks I might tell him. She never said any of this, but it's just obvious. And I don't remember anything more. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I was dreaming that I had to take the Peavey system to the card party area, the ______ park thing, and we were getting it out of the garage and I was trying to get my mother to hurry up so that she could come and take me over there so that I could set it up before my father got there. And so we were scrambling around and messing around, trying to get there on time, and I get there and I only have a certain amount of time to set up. And I started setting up the microphone with the board and all, and I was, the minute, I just brought the fader up above the bottom, I was getting feedback like crazy and lots of floor noise with it, so I was trying to figure how the heck to fix that. And just about that time, you know, I don't remember, I never started the gig before I woke up. What the heck is wrong with this stupid tape? [tape making noises] I don't know, but that's that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I was having a really crazy dream that I was in the Media Building of my high school. Now we know the Media Building is the building that is pretty much open air except for the classroom and has a really icky stupid elevator. Well, in my dream I was coming out of one of the classrooms of the Media Building and I was racing down the like hallway on the second floor to get to like the stairs or the elevator so I could get down because somebody was waiting to pick me up. And part of the building was under construction, and in my dream it was a lot bigger than it actually was, and I was running down the hall and I came to this little metal gap, like, you know, how you get gaps in concrete, so I kind of stepped over that. And then it was like an obstacle course. There were like rubber mats, little pools and things, screws, there was concrete that was all torn apart and several layers and levels that I was stepping down, instead of just going down the stairs. I came to this area that there's a monument at the green point, that's like a point in two triangles touching each other, and well, this building under construction had one of those and I was standing underneath it, and I was standing in a puddle of water and I was starting to see lightning. And I thought, "Oh, my gosh, I'm standing in a thing that's metal and I'm ankle deep in water. I'm really scared here." I wasn't hearing any thunder; I was just seeing flashes. And so I climbed onto, you know how when you do construction, the windows aren't in and you've got like big gaps, I jumped onto one of the window gaps and I was sitting where the window was supposed to go, yelling for help from one of the construction workers. And I had the feeling that one of them was coming to get me, but instead, my mother showed up with the car. She pulled it right up into a dirt mound, got me, and I woke up before we could go anywhere. And that's that. Well, for one thing, I've been having a lot of stress lately, and it seems to be going away now that things have evened off, but I've just been having tons of emotional roller coaster rides, I guess you could say, because I've been really, really, really happy one minute and either tired or disappointed about something the next. And I guess before things started evening off today, I was feeling like I wasn't sure if I was going to get all my stuff done on time. So that could be where I felt like I was in such a dangerous situation portrayed in the dream. Now the other things are just kind of things that played in there, like the construction is still going on across the street, and fortunately I haven't had to go snooping in there lately. Let's see, I don't think there's any buildings at my college that are like the Media Building, but there is an icky elevator in the Language Arts Building that I don't really have the nerve to go on. I never thought I would be like that until Elizabeth brainwashed me into being afraid of elevators that aren't quite right. And, of course, we know about my mother with the car. She's the knight in shining armor once again because she's going to take me off to a bunch of fun things real soon, and she always comes and gets me out of these things in real life, emotionally more than physically. And that's just that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I was having a really neat dream last night, one of the best organized, I think, that I've had in a while. Usually when I have dreams about birthday parties and Christmases and opening presents, everything is real vague and kind of distant. That's kind of one of the reasons immediately I know that it's a dream because it is so vague and distant. But this time I had a dream that I was having an early birthday party with Sheryl and Sandra and Sam, so that we could celebrate with them before we went to my relative's home town, we could celebrate up there, then we could celebrate when we get back on the actual day. And for some reason Sheryl, Sandra and Sam have been showing up in my dreams a lot lately. And we were in the living room and I was opening some presents. The first, I got some books for my birthday, meaning in my dream, and I can't remember exactly what they all were, but one of them was, it looked and smelled like the copy of A Tale of Two Cities that we got from the library, but it was some other French title by some person. And it was supposed to be one of the most profound things in literature, but I was like, I don't think so. Then I got this other book from my father that was like a small, about the average size of a paperback, but a little thinner, and it was supposed to be this quarterly journal like type thing about sound and stuff. And it was kind of brown and old looking, and it had yellow print on the cover that said, "How to Take Amplifier Wattage and Apply It to Speaker Power," I think is what it said, something like that. And I'm thinking, "Okay, do they have to have such a thick volume on such a topic? I mean, not just stuff in general, but specifically that. And I started flipping through it and it was tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny print and there was a subscription card in the back, and I was thinking how it wasn't a really a big deal that it was in tiny print because I have a CC TV. And then I got the biggest present of all. Now in my dream all these presents were wrapped in the same kind of wrapping paper, that kind of like rosish wrapping paper that I used for my mother's TV. This present was so big that it could pass for a piece of equipment, you know, like the average size that the average box comes in that you get? Well, it was that size and I ripped it open, all excited, thinking it was going to be something like that. And it was a box, a gourmet box of chocolate-covered cherries that was just huge. I was feeling kind of a little bit let down, but yet a little excited at the same time because I was kind of expecting something else. And then as this dream goes on, it got really cool. The mermaid doll that I have, you know how it just duh duh duh duh. I don't know what I'm saying, but you know how that is. Well, I dreamt that I found the little bag that it came in and there were these magnets, like refrigerator magnets, that you had to install, like you had to glue them to the battery compartment door so that either to make them hold the charge longer or to make them do something else. I think it was to make them do something else, but these could have not been magnets. They were either magnets or chips that you had to glue in a certain place on the door, and I was trying to figure how to do this and I didn't know if you were supposed to glue them to the door or the side of the thing. So I was trying to find the instructions to figure that out, and there was this big, thick book that was like newsprint, like the SPC catalog, and it was yellow on the front and it had little pictures in it. And it was all these things that this company makes. It was like an exquisite ______ illusion company, for lack of a better term. But they made imaginative things that you would use in displays and setups that were based on movies, like for "The Little Mermaid" they had two or three other models similar to my doll, and they had a whole bunch of other things that were different things, like Arabian figures and stuff. And they had this other mermaid with a purple fin, purple shells and blonde hair, and I was writing down the catalog number because that's another thing that I would want for my birthday. And then I woke up. That was messed up, man. That's all I can say about that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream that my mother and I had to get on a plane, not surprisingly, but in the dream we had this flight scheduled for 7:30 in the morning. But you know how my mother is, she diddles and she daddles and she doddles and she doodles, and we didn't get out of the house until 9:30, so we had to take, I mean we had to reschedule to the 10:05 flight. Now in my dream the way it worked is, it would be just like a bus, you catch whichever one you can catch, but you know in life it doesn't work that way. And so we were at the airport getting ready for this flight, and I think we were shopping around in a few of those little stores that they have, and I can't remember a whole lot, but something happened that made us miss that one too. I think we couldn't get on it because our bags were too big, and we had to take one that left at 2:30. And I think before I woke up, we were finally on that flight, but we weren't really going to get into town until 7:30 at night, which really we're getting there at like 6:00, or no, we're getting there at 4:45, but we probably won't get to Christine's house until 6:00. But in my dream we wouldn't even land until 7:30, and I was thinking, "Oh, my gosh, what a terrible chain of domino effects this was -- diddle doddle, diddle doddle, and we didn't get out until late. Oh, my gosh." And that's really all there is to it. Although this dream has its literal implications about us getting on a plane and all, I think this dream referred more to life and what I feel I'm missing out on. I guess I just feel like now my dependence will never disappear, and what I could miss out on and that I might finally get to my destination, but it might be much later in life than I had hoped. So that's that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream that I was at my college and that I was going to take a test in English from like an English class. And they had brought in this professional test proctor and this test proctor had all the people sitting in black across part of the length of the room, just sitting on stools and taking this test. And I was at a regular desk in the back of the room, and my mother was there, and when I got my book she was going to go outside with me so we could read it, and the teacher directed me to do that. That's what me and Elizabeth used to do. And when we got outside there were these big bumps in front of the building that I almost tripped over, and that I was crawling over so I could really feel how they were going. And then we got to a picnic table where we were going to take the test, and my mother was bringing out food and drinks and picnic stuff and we're picnicking and talking about everything under the sun, except doing the test. And I'm telling her, "Come on, come on, I gotta take this test. I don't know when the period's going to end, but I have to take the test." But she said, "You have extra time; don't worry." And I think that was that, and then I woke up. But before any of this, before I went into my test room, I dreamt that Mrs. Dougherty was in the hall talking to somebody, and she was going to drive up in a fire truck with a whole bunch of costumes. And she was going to whoop the siren really loud so everybody would know she was there with them. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had kind of a crazy dream that I was in class on Friday and that my Spanish teacher was like a gifted teacher and a Spanish teacher combined. And she was like talking about these intellectual things and all, and on Friday I dreamt that she assigned us a paper to write in Spanish about our life and how it has been unfolding up to this point. And I was thinking that I would be able to do this because I was feeling confident about being able to express myself in Spanish, but I was feeling completely distraught over the fact that I thought I was going to have a week off, but here now I have this paper that I have to do, and that I'm going to have to do it on my trip because I have no other way to do it. And then, as I was slowly fading into consciousness, I was realizing that, hey, this is a dream, I don't even have Spanish class on Fridays and I got my Ethics paper done. And I know there was more to it, but I can't think of it at this time. And then that was it. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | We're in my relative's home town now, and I'm in Aunt Christine's cellar. We sleep down here now. I had a dream last night that I was coming home from some busy kind of thing. And my father had set me up with an interview at some pizza place, and it was mainly a job practice interview, and if I got the job, he made a comment like, "Well, I'll have more money to sit on," because, you know, I'm just saving up now. And so I went into this, we were riding with my mother, he and I were on a tandem and we rode down to this pizza place and we sat ourselves down at a table and my father had brought two tuxedos -- one with a straight like scoop neck and one with a flowery, flowery whoo neck. And both of these were like men's clothes that were like way too big for me, but I was supposed to wear one of them for the interview. And the person came for me before I had a chance to put them on, and we did the interview. She asked a couple questions. She asked more questions than I offered information. Usually when I've done interviews with the internship program, I try to offer information like so they don't have to ask everything and drag it out of me. But I let them drag it out of me this time. And I had to sign a form, which is like signing a statement in court, but they said I had to assent to the fact that I had a disability and I had to sign a form to do that. And then she asked some more questions, and then I went into another room where I was supposed to fill out an application, and there were these people sitting at these tables and somebody had this long involved math problem, and I took out a pencil out of my bag and I just took a shot at trying to solve it. And then about two or three steps down the way I gave up, and then I woke up. I don't know if I got the job or not. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | There are a couple of weird dreams that I can remember that have stayed with me the past few days, because I've just been running around like a chicken without my head and I haven't had a chance to put them down. So the first one I had, we were still in my relative's home town. I mean, we were there, but I dreamt that we were here; you know how that goes. And Mrs. Dougherty was at our house, and she was laying in bed at night in the dark on my mother's side of the bed, and there was nobody else in the bed, but we were just kind of there doing our thing. And she was laying there and I was standing, and she wanted to know how my singing technique was presently. So she wanted to sing something and have me sing it back, and have her feel how I do it. And so she sings a couple of notes like in a minor key, and it kind of scared me a little and so I grabbed her hand, but then I was okay and I sang it back to her, and she kind of felt how I breathed and how I did it. And I think she wanted to do it a couple more times, and I think maybe we did. And then I laid next to her like I do with my mother, and she held me like my mother does. And I think that was the end of that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Then I had a dream that I was in my relative's home town, which this time I was here, but I dreamt that I was there. Well, I dreamt that I was in my relative's home town and I was at Aunt Christine's kitchen table, and I had a laptop and I was typing away on it. And Bobby came over and wanted to see what I was doing, and you know how in a Word document I can have either a white or a blue background and print on it to match? Well, Bobby came over and he was putting a background behind my text, and he put up this really crazy thing that was kind of like a baseball scene, and then he put up a scene of Niagra Falls, and I said, "Okay, I like that one." And I went back to work, but I was afraid he was going to read what I was writing. And I think he was doing something else. He closed my document and he was just doing all kinds of crazy stuff. And then I realized that this thing was not just a regular thing, but it had two or three octaves of musical keys right above the typing keys, and you could go to freestyle and you could just go crazy all over the place. And about that time I faded into consciousness. That was a crazy thing. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I had a pretty whacked out dream last night. I keep having dreams that I'm at this school that's a combination of my high school and my college, and I keep waffling back and forth. I didn't do that when I came from Bancroft and went to my high school, so I don't know what's going on here. But I was in the Media Building at my high school, but I was taking a class in one of the rooms like I would take at my college. And I was up on the third floor and I was with some other people. They weren't like young people, but some of them were and some of them were like middle-aged older people. And class was kind of ending and everybody was just kind of sitting down and shuffling their books and stuff. And the fire alarm went off outside. You know how you don't hear it in the room, but then you hear it outside in the hallway? Well, all of us took our good old time packing up our stuff. Apparently we knew it was just a drill or they were like testing it or something. So we took our good old time -- that's kind of crazy. And so -- oh, I know -- by the time we were ready to walk out the door, everybody had their stuff because we had to like go all together and we had to wait for everybody to pack their stuff. Well, when everybody had their stuff, the alarm shut itself off, and so I had this immense fear going on that it was going to happen again while we were out in the hallway and it was going to be terrible. And dragging my book bag and stuff, and we can't really just go down the stairs because something is blocked or something, so we've got to go down these big ladder things and then walk across these like levels of concrete and then go down more big ladders and stuff. And we were all doing this with our stuff, and we got out to the, they had a bus circle at this place, and we were out to the bus circle and I thought I had missed my bus. So I was hopping a van with a lady and a couple of kids and they lived near me apparently and they were going to take me home. This van was a black van, if that makes any difference. And out there it looked like my high school. And as I was in the van, somebody said, "Well, you could take the bus. Your bus is still here. You can take the bus if you want." And I don't remember if I was on the bus or in the van coming home, but in my dream you had buses -- school buses -- to and from my college also. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I dreamt that Sheryl, Sandra and Sam and I were riding through town in our car and we were supposed to stop at this Catholic school that had a church attached to it, and it also had a store, and they were all red brick, and we had to do something there, but I don't remember what. So my mother and my father went their way and Sheryl, Sandra and I -- no, I think my mother and Sheryl and Sam and I went through the school part and we were like going around peeking in these different windows, and when we would come to an exit door, it would have a little tiny sound coming from the exit like box. And some would be just a straight tone and some would be a crazy like up and down, but it was very soft, but each time I knew I could hear it. And I think we were going through the living areas and stuff, just peeking in windows. And for some reason when we came to like a, when we were just walking in a hallway, Sam handed me something, and he's like, "Here, I bought you this." And it was like an expensive microphone to go with my mini disc recorder. And I said, "I want to pay you for it; I don't want you to just do this by yourself." And then we were in the car coming home and I was like trying to record what they say. They're talking about going to school and stuff. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I was having a dream that I was at my tech school in like September, and it was really kind of disappointing because when I was walking around, I didn't really run into any like labs or anything, anything that looked fun. But, let's see, I don't remember really entering, but P_________ assigned some kind of teacher to be my mentor, and I think she was a private school teacher who taught there some times. And I was walking through the building and my mother and the teacher were going to take care of some other kind of business, and while we were all sitting in this big auditorium, somebody knocked a purse over of this girl, and spilled all her change on the floor, and so they were going to pick it up and put it back in the purse for her. And this place was very well lit. It had carpet on the floor most places, and it didn't have all those crazy colors on the floor like I remember when I actually went to the building a few years ago. And I was walking around, and there was sound everywhere, but I couldn't actually get close enough to see where it was coming from. I was like in a kitchen when I re-met up with my mother and the teacher, and I had to practice making a sandwich or finding things because that's what I was going to have to do, and this was a little pookie kitchen and it had like practically nothing in, that I was supposed to work in. But before that, when I was trying to work in the pookie kitchen, there was somebody messing with the sound system in like the middle of a foyer thing, setting up like a Peavey system type thing, and I couldn't go check it out because I was confined to the pookie kitchen. And then my mother and the teacher showed up again, and we ran into Ms. Fletcher, and she was saying how some bank screwed her all up for some reason, and we walked along and we went to another kitchen, except this kitchen was full of books. It was full of like kiddie books, and there was another little closet that was dark and probably had some stuff in it, but I didn't go in there. And then all of a sudden we were at the house and the teacher lady was sitting down and relaxing and I was sitting next to her and we were talking about things. And there were these boys that were being real boisterous at the house and they were having this party, and one of them sat down on her lap and was kind of faking a lap dance. And she yelled, "Hey, Mister, screw you!" And she threw him off, and she picked me up and walked me into the bedroom, out of that mess. And I think that's that, I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream that we took a trip to my relative's home town, and that this dream, the setting of this dream was like home. And for some -- I don't remember too much, because again I let this go all day. I'm getting bad about that, so I forget most of them now. But my father and my mother and I were like in a connecting airport, but we were outside on this deck and looking over like a roof into the city. And this thing was like a floating deck dock thing. It was like flying on air and it was like trampoline. We were jumping up and down on a trampoline. And in my dream my father and I were holding hands and were like trampoline jumping back to the main terminal, which was like about ten foot square on the deck, and my mother was over in a chair by the main terminal. And I was thinking how trampoline jumping might bring back a bunch of scary stuff if we do too many maneuvers, but that wasn't a part really that much of it. And then I was thinking how nothing better happen with this plane because in my dream we were getting home from my relative's home town on a Sunday and I started class Monday morning, the next day, which fortunately on the way home everything went well on our real trip, and I could pull that off. But in my dream I don't think anything went wrong, and I think we just about made it onto the plane on time because we were waiting for them to call us, and they weren't calling us and weren't calling us, and we figured we'd better check and make sure everything is okay. And so we got on the plane and it was like, just like riding in a car, except we were riding along the interstate, and, you know, how do you slow down, you brake at a red light and you speed up and accelerate. Well, that's how this thing was. It was a vehicle with wings and the windshield was open and the windows were open, and it was like, it wasn't really a plane at all; it was a car. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a pretty strange dream. I dreamt that I was supposed to go over and see Mercy Stinton, and I went over there to her apartment complex, and I had to get the 8th floor, and I was going upstairs and going upstairs and going upstairs and going upstairs. And this apartment complex had like apartments that were on like the outside, like on a balcony, they weren't all enclosed in a hallway. And, oh, let's see -- I got to the 7th floor and knocked on their door, and the wrong person answered, and I said, "Do you where Mercy Stinton's apartment is?" and in my dream it was 813. And he said, "No, I don't." And he was like going to page somebody on his cell phone, but he said, "This is the 7th floor." And I was like, "Oh, that helps." Then I was like trying to figure out how to get up to the next floor and I couldn't figure it out, and there was all kinds of garbage and stuff around. And I think also that to get somebody, I had to go back home and help me get somebody to help me find it. And I called her and I said I was going to be a little late, and she just, she was so worried about me, and then I, people were just dawdling around the house and I had to call her and tell her I couldn't make it. And that was that. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night -- I know this is going to sound extremely impossible and unnatural -- but last night I dreamt that Celine Dion was in our kitchen , actually what was happening was I was feeding the chickens and I heard my mother playing one of her albums, and I decided to come in. And she actually opened the door and was singing one of her French songs; she was singing "Brahms Lullaby" in French. I knew it and I sang along with her, and next thing I knew, we were at the counter and we like put our heads against each other and sang it like in full voice. And that was kind of incredible, and then there was something else going on. And then I was asking her, "Your new album, why were some of the tracks recorded in Stockholm, SwAnthony?" And she was like, "Well, it was put together by something in England and France." And I was like, "Oh." And I dreamt that she was supposed to appear at WLFA for a publicity thing to raise money for something. And I don't remember what, but next I knew, I was on the phone with Sheryl, Sandra and Sam and we were all going to go on a boat trip and take this puppy that was not house potty trained, and was messing all over the place. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a bizarre dream. I dreamt that I was planning to go to Iraq with my class of some people from, I think, one of my humanities classes at my college, and not really for any serious negotiation, but just as tourists. They were going to show us how it is over there. And one of the main things that was important to know was that each little town square center thing had like this fountain thing with a telescope in the middle of it. And what you had to do when you were going to speak to people in the town square is about two or three feet away -- or maybe four feet -- stand up on this little stool and point an unloaded gun at the telescope thing so that they could see that you had no bullets in it. That was crazy! And so we had one of these little setups in our living room so that I could practice doing it, and I had a feeling like I wanted to get up on a stool thing and speak to those people, but I had no idea what the heck I wanted to say. And I guess this comes from when I hear about it on the news, I have no clue what it actually looks like over there. I can't really imagine. I've never really actually looked at the footage. I guess I should sometime. And in other parts of this dream I dreamt that Sheryl, Sandra and Sam were in town and we were in the car going somewhere, and we were stopping along the way at this church. And I don't know, there was just kind of stuff in there, and then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had an unbelievably absurd dream. I can't remember how or when or why, but somebody in my dream was trying to tell me the HIV virus was responsible for causing my underdeveloped optic nerve, and that it was going to spread to the rest of my body sometime in my life, and it was going to turn into AIDS. I actually believed it for the duration of the dream, and it wasn't really all that scary, but then again it kind of was a little bit. And I can't remember anything else that was going on in the dream, but there was a whole bunch of other stuff that wasn't related. But I don't remember any more of it, because, like I said before, I let this go like this is the evening time now, and it stayed with me this whole day. But that's that. It was really, really crazy. Then, as I was waking up, I was thinking how that probably wasn't true, but until I was really awake, I couldn't be absolutely sure. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a dream, but I can't remember much about it, but I do remember this part that was very distinct, and it probably might mean something, I don't know. Up -- you know how in the landing of the stairwell here -- there's a little round table that the old CC TV has been kind of placed on, and I like have been using it from time to time. Well, in my dream, standing on top of the monitor was a big, huge, about 4' tall -- and almost as tall as me -- it was a Santa display figure doll thing, and it was standing on top of the CC TV monitor. And you would activate it and it would just sway. It was supposed to like dance, but when he spread his arms, it was like this big, huge mess, just swaying and swaying and kind of making a noise and flashing some lights and playing a little Christmas song. But I would get nervous about this thing falling off because it would sway so wide, and I didn't really think it was going to fall off, I just thought it might. And that's really all I can remember. I think I was going to take it to a party or something, but I don't remember anything.... Now I remember some more about this dream. It had no connection to the Santa thing, but I dreamt that we were walking from an apartment in N______ Park over to the campus, and it was sort of a nice walk. I mean, we were seeing roses and stuff. But I was living upstairs in kind of a dingy place, and it was kind of small and blah, and so we were on this walk, showing me the way to my tech school, and next thing I know, I'm back home at this house messing with that Santa thing again. I don't get it. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a bizarre dream. I dreamt that we were still looking at apartments for me for when I'm living at my tech school, and I dreamt that this place -- Winter Park Villas -- was on a ship and there were rooms and rooms for people to stay, but it was like on a ship. And it didn't really have an address because it didn't stay in one place; it could get up and go at any minute. And I was thinking to myself how I would really like to stay at a place that was on land, and I wouldn't want to stay on a ship. And there was another part to this dream. There was a waiter guy who had to come to my room in order to get to either the ship's bathroom or like a kitchen storehouse place, but he came through there a couple times, and he ended up sleeping in my bed. And in my dream I didn't really consciously think he did anything to me, but I kind of asked my mother that, if I needed to get an abortion, would she be able to take me in, not let anybody know. And I don't remember what she said, but next thing I knew, we were on a smaller boat just going for a ride with a bunch of people. And then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Last night I had a really crazy dream. I dreamt that I was at this Spanish class like take in my high school, except it was at this dingy old house and I was coloring in a color book, and it was a coloring book of like Bible stories and stuff. And I had been there for like three or four hours just doing nothing, and I was going to call home, but for whatever reason, I couldn't really dial the cell phone. It had all this like Spanish instruction stuff on the display and we couldn't really, I don't know, you couldn't really get out. And then I realized that I had to go 1 and 7, 2, 7 and then 8212610, and then I was able to get out of all that messy Spanish stuff, and I can't remember if I actually got to talk to anybody, but then I woke up. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | I still have to think about that sometimes! [the year] I can't remember too much about what I was dreaming last night, but I know that, I remember one scene real vividly. I dreamt that I think I might have been at either Aunt Christine's house or at some other strange house. But I had a feeling like it was somebody's house that I had just been to the first time. And I didn't really know the people, and they had like an upper second story, and they had a living room real similar to ours. And then they had a cellar and the stairs are just like ours except they were a lot less steep, they went at a much more gradual grade for a much longer period of distance. And I had to go get something from in their cellar, and, oh no, I think I had to go to the bathroom down there. And what you had to go is you had to go down the steps, and then there was like a hallway, and to your right was a bathroom, to the left was some other kind of junk room, and if you kept going straight and down a couple more steps, you'd have an even deeper, darker cellar. And by the way, in all of this, there was one light switch at the head of the stairs that controlled the lights for all three of those rooms down there and the stairway. And I had to go to the bathroom and somebody was in the first story bathroom, and I was going down the stairs of the cellar, and it didn't actually happen, but I was having a vision of what would happen if somebody were to see the door open and the light on, and they just switched off the switch and everything went dark, how I would just scream! And after that thought, I decided I wasn't going to go to the bathroom down there, that I was going to hold it some more. So then I woke up, and I really had to go. | female | 2003-2006 |
jasmine3 | Jasmine 3: college 1 | Oh, I smell coffee somewhere! Okay, last night I had kind of a crazy dream. I dreamt that I was in the Bancroft Middle School cafeteria, and people were getting ready to take a test, like an FCAT or something, and they were all sitting at the table. And over in a corner my mother was shoveling big plops of poop into a bucket, and I don't know where that came from, but she was saying, "Getting the dirty stink out of the cafeteria would help them take their tests." Well, duh! And then I must have been roaming around my high school or something, in the hall in front of the Guidance Office, and I heard them announcing the final exam schedule for my college over the intercom. And I was thinking how the high school students, they threaten them and they say, "If you don't get your exam by the scheduled time, the door's going to be locked and you won't get to." And they just say, "First period, second period, go to your next period exam." But at my college, when they read their exam schedule, they were a lot more, not really empathetic, but sort of along that line, trusting that the college students would know what the heck they were doing. And that's all I can really remember about this dream. | female | 2003-2006 |
