STAGE FRIGHT

Hi everyone,

Sorry I didn’t post any dream for the last two weeks, I was trying to catch up on my art making.  I hope you’ve all been doing well :)

“So, who would like to present first?”

I’m sure you’ve all heard that phrase at least once in your life while in school, and I don’t know about you, but it had always put me into a panic :O  Speaking in front of people is definitely not my strong points.  I even tried taking a drama class in school to help with that, but in the end I was even more scared to do presentations :/  Ironic isn’t it? 

*** I was in a small classroom with a few of my friends and the teacher was describing the next project.  We had to read a short excerpt and present a summary of what it was about.  I began worrying so much, I remembered the days when I had to do the same thing and was terrible at it. 

We had the whole class day to read and prepare our presentation.  My friends were being really supportive but that’s because they were all ready with their presentations and was just waiting for me to finish. 

“Alright, time to start presentations.” the teacher said.  I was so nervous I wanted to cry because I wasn’t ready to embarrass myself again as I did the other times.

One by one, my friends went up and did a flawless summarization, and it was coming to my turn.  Everyone was looking at me in anticipation…. ***

I must say thankfully the dream ended there, I really would not have done a good presentation because I couldn’t remember what the excerpt was about.  I know the project sounded simple enough, but for me, I was dreading it with all my heart.  When I was in school I had to do a few summarization presentations and all were terrible, and unfortunately, I am not exaggerating :(  For example, I could read and understand a book, but ask me to summarize it in a short paragraph, and.. well…uh…I’m at a loss for words. 

I can give one sentence summaries, but if you want anything more, then you’ll have to wait till I compose my words :)

Thanks for reading, I you all have a lovely weekend :)

ALL ABOUT CAKES!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the sudden disappearance, I went on a trip to Japan, and the week leading up to the departure was really hectic ^^' ....

But I'm back now, and ready to write again :)

Alrighty, so on to my dream :D  This one's kinda brief since I only remember a few parts, but it was a fun dream, lol.


***  I was enrolled in a cooking school and was in a class of 7 students (including me).  We were split up into two groups and our project was to bake 3 cakes.  The teacher also said it'll will be a competition to see which team bakes the best cakes.  I was grouped up with 3 others and since my group had one person more than the other group we were allowed to bake an extra cake, and I was the one chosen for that task :D

We had 1 month to design and practice making our cakes until the day we would bake it for the teacher to taste and mark.  There was a lot of discussion as to what ingredients to use, and how the cakes should look.  It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work too since I had to come up with my own cake at the same time.

On what I'll call "The day of Judgement", the teacher gave us the whole day to bake and decorate our cakes.  It was such a frenzy with flour, and icing all over the place, but in the end, all the cakes were ready for Judgement!

I couldn't see the cakes from our opposing team but I could hear the teacher was happy with the results :/  I was getting worried about my team, we had 4 cakes in total but I only remember 2.  The teacher wasn't too wowed with the first two cakes, but was extremely satisfied with our third cake which looked like a donkey pinata.  The teacher really liked the taste and texture of the pinata cake :D  I was so relieved.  Then it was time to show my cake which I made to look like a banana.  The teacher came over, but at that point I woke up ***


Thinking about my banana cake, just makes me smile, lol.  I definitely think Hell's Kitchen is influencing my dreams.

I'm even thinking that I should learn how to make cakes from scratch just so I can make the pinata cake in real life, what do you think?

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful week full of smiles and sweetness!

Looking at it now, I'm glad the teacher didn't get a chance to grade my cake, lol

UNDER THE SEA

Hi everyone,

I’m sure there are times when you have to make a choice between two or more paths, but you’re not really sure which one is best in the long run (or short run).  I had a dream like that, and sure, it’s just a dream, but I feel there’s something more to it.  Anyway, here it is :) (The more coherent parts at least, lol)

*** Some sort of war was going on.  I don’t remember if it was the whole world, or just where I was.  The invaders looked human, but they weren’t because they came from outer space.  There were clashes going on everywhere at the city I was in. 

 I was part of a defensive team and I had to battle a really big, muscular guy, who looked really angry.  He was wearing spiky brown armour and had a short blade weapon.  He pretty much just lunged his blade at me, to my surprise I actually dodge it fully and was able to grab the weapon and forced it from his hands :D At that point he surrendered himself. 

It was a long and messy battle, but the rest of my team was also successful with apprehending the baddies, and I thought everything was gonna be fine, but then I was approached by one of the leaders of the defense team and asked if I would take on a very important task.  He explained there was no way of knowing when the task would be over, and whether it was necessary, but the task was to stay on watch for incoming threats in the future because the invaders would have to pass by a certain area to get into the city, but the guard post is very deep under the sea that is full of toxins.

Until that point I was woman while fighting the baddies, but when the leaders asked me about the guard posting, I was a man (I know it sounds strange, but I know these things, lol). 

When the leaders told me the woman I loved was the only one who decided to take on the guard post, I was left with a tough decision….follow her into the sea, not knowing what will happen between us, or stay with my family and friends on high ground?

I decided to take a chance and accepted the task.  Both the woman and I were transported deep below the surface; we had our own little look out base.  The water was yellow so everything at that point looked yellow.  The most interesting thing for me at this point is we didn’t have to wear breathing masks, we just breathed underwater, and it was quite the feeling, strange, but cool, lol.

The atmosphere was nice, quiet, peaceful, I was with the woman I loved.  I felt a little sad that we were in isolation from everyone else, but it was my decision and I had no regrets.  After what felt like months, I got really curious about what else is around and decided to open the door (though I wasn’t supposed to), and toxins started flowing in :/  It was just a little, but it smelled like rotting garbage on a hot sunny day (bleh!).  It’s a dream smell I’ll never forget, lol.  Then I woke up  ***  

Thanks for reading :D  I didn’t expect it to be this long, but I guess I have lots to describe sometimes, lol.  If there's anything you'd like to say or ask about the dream feel free to comment :)

Here's a little doodle of the room I was in.  It didn't look like this exactly, but drawing from a dream memory is tougher than it seems, lol.

I had rock chairs!  How fitting :D

 

SWEET SLOPES

Hi everyone,

I was gonna post this last week, but I wanted to do some art for it, but then the art was taking too long, and now my internet is wonky, so I decided it's best to just post it, lol.

 

Sometimes I wonder whether my mind is trying to tell me something through my dreams, or if it just likes scaring me for fun  >_<

*** I was with a group of people, I didn’t know anyone, but I could sense they were my friends.  We were walking through a small outdoor shopping area.  We walked passed lots of clothing shops and found a really nice dessert place.  Me and one other person went in to eat a delicious chocolate ice cream brownie cake-like dessert  :9 Even though it was a dream, the brownie tasted amazing, lol :D  Then my friend says she knows of a place with even better desserts so I asked her to bring me there.

We walked across the street to a place that looked small from the outside but was really big on the inside.  Turns out it was a rowdy night club @_@ (so not my kind of place), but I really wanted the dessert so I went in anyway, lol. 

I walked up a long flight of stairs to the bar, but before I even get a chance to order, my friend says it’s time to go… aww… no dessert :(  So we headed back to the stairs, and all of a sudden I noticed I was wearing a sparkly pencil dress, and really high silver heels (maybe 3-4inches – I don’t wear heels, so yeah, that’s tall for me :P).  I was about to take my first step down but there were no stairs :O  Just a long, steep, gravel slope; almost vertical!  Running down with shoes would have been nearly impossible, but in heels?  I would have wiped for sure D:  Not to mention I have a big fear of going down steep slopes :S  My heart was beating so fast.  I just thought for a moment.  The exit doorway was glowing with light; I was determined to make it out somehow.  I took off my heels and sat down beside the hand rail and slid down while holding on for dear life.  I made it down without making a face plant (thankfully), but I never want to go through that again :/  and then I woke up. *** 

The dessert part was amazing, but why the slope?  It’s not like I don’t have enough fears, or worries already.  Ah well, I got through it, I guess that’s the important part.

Thanks a lot for reading!  If there's anything you'd like to say or ask about the dream feel free to comment :)

PS: If you think the titles, are a little weird, you’re not alone; I think they are too, lol.  But, I think they work with the content :)

OPEN DOOR; OPEN PATHS

Hi everyone,

So two nights ago I had not just one scary dream, I had two… (well, actually it was like a half scary dream, lol)…

***

1^st dream:  I was in my living room watching TV, but then I was getting quite tired so I decided to head to bed.  I was sleeping comfortably until I felt thirsty and headed out of the bedroom to the kitchen area and that’s when I noticed the front door was slightly opened and someone was trying to stuff a blue jacket through the opening. 

I opened the door and asked the guy what he was doing, he said he found the jacket in front of the door and thought it belong to me so he was trying to return it.  I told him the jacket isn’t mine, but I thanked him for trying anyway, and l kept the jacket with me so I can turn it in to security later. 

I didn’t think too much about it at first, but then I started to wonder why the door was open in the first place.  Then a few scenes flashed by of me bringing the trash out and leaving the door open after coming in…. my heart sunk....I couldn’t believe I had made such a mistake…. I took a quick look around to find there was an empty space on my sink counter where the phone and toaster oven should be :O  Oh dear!  I was thinking the worst at that time, so I ran around to see if anything else was gone. I wasn’t worrying so much about my things, but I definitely didn’t want to see any of my boyfriend’s things gone because of my mistake.  TV: check; game consoles: check; games: check; sofa: check.  So much was still left behind, thank goodness, but the washroom and my computer room was totally messed up :(  Then I woke up (Phew!) – I went to check the door afterwards, lol

-----

2^nd dream:  I was part of some sort of security force; it was my job to capture a group of criminals that was terrifying the city.  My sister worked alone, she wasn’t part of the security force, but she was protecting the city in her own way.  She had crazy ninja skills and acrobatics so she was wrecking lots of havoc upon the criminal organizations :) 

Then my dream cuts to a scene where the enemy leader was chasing down and trying to eliminate my sister.  It was a heated chase, both of them climbing walls, dodging projectiles, and jumping from building to building!  I’m surprised I was even able to follow them since I didn’t have such skills, lol.  The enemy was so close to catching her but then I found an opening and jumped him from the side and captured him instead, and my sister was able to escape.  That’s was too close!

The rest of my dream was a lot tamer.  I was talking with the enemy leader in a large building with a tall blue domed ceiling, and interestingly, even though he had such a tough-guy reputation, he was actually a nice guy!  I was shown a scene of him picking up something thrown out on the sidewalk that looks like a hanging mobile with little balls of different colours.  I couldn’t make any sense of what he’d do with such a thing, but then he explained that it was the missing piece to the planetarium.  What?  I still didn’t understand.  Then he said to look up, and lo and behold, right below the domed ceiling was the small mobile he picked up which had turned into a massive structure displaying the solar system.  It was a quite sight to see.  Too bad the guy went down the wrong path though…. 

***

Well, definitely out of these two dreams, the first was way scarier.  It felt so real, and in my dream, even my sleeping felt real, lol.  I’ll definitely keep an eye on my door a lot more closely since my memory really isn’t the sharpest at time. 

The only scary part in my second dream was when the enemy was chasing my sister, but after that, it was a nice dream :)  I think it was trying to remind me to follow a path that’s truthful to who I am and not what others are expecting of me because more often than not I put other people’s happiness before mine, and I know in the long run, it might lead to regret.

Thanks a lot for reading!  If there's anything you'd like to say or ask about the dream feel free to comment :)
