Last night I dreamed that I went back to Chicago to visit family. My Dad’s family really is in Chicago.. most of them, anyway. I don’t remember what, in my dream, I went back for. My husband didn’t come with me. And I met up with an old boyfriend there.

He was married (which he is now) and had a couple of kids (which he doesn’t have and doesn’t want) and they were staying in my Uncle’s house. The house was huge and had lots of wings that were fully individual living areas. Houses in and of themselves.

I was skinny again like I was the last time I went, not needing any diet pills. It was nice to wear my small dresses that I haven’t worn in a while.

But anyway, my old boyfriend didn’t live in my Uncle’s house, he had another house so the place at my Uncle’s was very bare with not much furniture and no pictures on the walls. He and I really wanted to get some alone time… and yeah the dream bordered on the sexual, but nothing panned out and we were both frustrated. I told him my husband would be fine with it, if only his wife would… but she wouldn’t be, and she didn’t like me hanging around very much. Probably why we didn’t get our alone time.

Anyway, it was nice seeing him again, even if it was just in my dream.

I had two dreams last night… the first one I was at dog camp with a friend of mine who has a couple border collies and does agility. What I remember now is that one of her dogs, Ryddick, got out and we couldn’t find him. Well the shelter people picked him up.. it was more a dog recovery program at camp (it was dog camp) and they waited for 20 minutes and when they didn’t find his person, they euthanized him! I was so upset. My friend, though, she wasn’t too upset LOL. It was weird.

My next dream was that I went on a cruise (I’m going in October, my first cruise) and it was a dog cruise and I had Levi and Chase with me. And the boat was small and packed, our cabin underneath was very cramped. But I was able to watch out the window at all the rocks that we zoomed by as we left the birth. We went so fast I was worried, but the pilot seemed to be able to manage just fine. The rocks in the water were huge.

When we got out to open water I ventured on deck and let Levi and Chase do what they want.. and they went off on their own. The boat was really small, then, and I was sitting in the back and getting covered in snow, we were sailing past ice bergs and it was cold. Then Chase came and found me and suddenly I was really worried that Levi had fallen overboard, as I couldn’t find him. I looked and looked and then I woke up and I was glad my dreams were over for the night.

And my neck is still just kinked and cracking, maybe I need a posture corrector to fix myself up. When I sleep I am so tense, and I clench my teeth, and I wake up so tense sometimes. But then I’m having PMS too now which makes me even more tense.

Me and the boys had a good agility day, too, which was fun. I hope I sleep well tonight!

Last night I dreamed that I was with Earl from My Name is Earl. He was a nice guy, though, not a redneck or trailer trash. I was married to him with a couple of kids. But our life was pretty rotten. So maybe we were trailer trash, but we had an apartment even though it was pretty poor and his job was bad.

We ended up time traveling into the past and I don’t remember too much about that now, but I do remember that we went to warn ourselves that we had a rotten life, and to be aware and change it.. but as we warned our past selves, we realized that the fact of warning ourselves is what made our future dismal in the first place.

So we had to go and stop ourselves from warning ourselves… and we managed to do that, and before our eyes our lives transformed and we were successful, the kids had their own rooms and were comfortable, we had nice things and we were happy.

Last night I dreamed that I was at camp… like dog camp, but there were no dogs. We signed up for activities during the day, like a cruise. One of them was to take a big boat down a river, and then pair up and take a canoe back up to camp.

The boat ride down was a lot of fun. There were various people there, there was also Vincent D’onofrio. I saw a movie with him in it last night, from 1991. Wow he was young and skinny and very cute. And that was what he looked like in my dream.

After we got down to the bottom a girl from agility, Tracey, asked me if I wanted to go on a 5 mile hike instead, but I didn’t really want to so I didn’t. I opted for the canoes. We were ready to go back up and everyone paired up. I paired up with Vincent and was glad I did, because he was tall and strong and could paddle upstream, and I was much smaller. But in the dream we didn’t seem to have paddles, or a motor.. we just kinda zoomed around. Some people skied behind the canoes. There were cayman crocodiles in the water… which was scary but we were able to avoid them okay.

At one point the canoes were going down hill in the water (not sure how a river can be uphill at one point and downhill at another lol) and it was peaceful. Then at the end of the canoe ride Vincent kissed me, and I was thrilled.

After there was a lunch and they didn’t have any garden burgers, just regular, and the side dishes were very scarce and I was starving. Vincent had disappeared because he was nervous. The lunch ladies sent me inside to the other cafeteria to get a garden burger, but they wanted me to pay, and I had already paid for all meals. So I went outside again and one of the lunch ladies just gave me $1.25 to pay for the burger.

I saw Vincent again before I woke up… and he was still cute!

I really need to look up why I dream about water so much. I do love the water.

Last night I dreamed that I was in this castle like place on the edge of the ocean. Actually, it started out as being at a friends house, she had this great big house on this bog like lake, and people would come and park in their spot in front of their house to go fishing. It made them mad and they put up a sign that said Private Parking Only but it didn’t seem to help.

We went on their big power boat for a trip.. that thing went so fast I would have been afraid, but I didn’t actually feel any of the pressure of being on the boat. It was a nice big boat and we even went over some very shallow areas, like where the sand was inches under the water.

Then later the dream turned into the castle on the ocean.. and there were creatures that were coming to fight with us, threaten us somehow. Maybe even destroy us. There was a guy who went to stand on a ledge to meet them… but then he was meeting the good guys that were going to help us, and they wanted to get a look at him, but then it was me they were wanting to get a look at.

And I knew they were going to have three eyes. Eyes like vertical slits, mechanical, and I wasn’t afraid of them. They gave me some metallic bracelets to wear that were like chain link but big links… and silver, I think they were silver, not gold, and not bulk cable. They also gave me a necklace to wear that was on a long leather rope and had a large protection piece that hung on my chest, and some other ornamentation too that was to protect me. It seemed I was the leader suddenly and I was going to be the one to defeat the bad guys.

I woke up before I was able to meet the bad guys and defeat them. It was actually quite a fun dream. I enjoyed it. It wasn’t scary, though it seemed like it was supposed to be. It was an adventure.

Last night I dreamed that I was with a friend who does agility, and her two German Shepherds were there. I saw her yesterday at the agility trial. I don’t remember too much now… as is typical, but it seems like her dogs were wild and running amok and I was trying to convince her that she needed to keep them under control.

This is weird because her dogs are very friendly and well mannered. Of course they love to run too when we go to the park or walking trail and they have a great time.

Fortunately I didn’t dream of Lucy having cancer, which she most likely has. I hope those dreams don’t come to haunt me anytime soon.

memory is such a strange thing and I do wish I could remember my dreams better. I do remember a lot, though, more than most I think!

Hmm.. some memories from last night.. I was camping, and trying to take a couple of the dogs for a walk. Lucy and Levi, I think.. oh wait, maybe not.. Tatum and Tony? Now I don’t remember. But one of them got off leash and I panicked, so it must have been Tatum.

But it was nice and green and wet, which was okay, because it was better than the winter cold here!

I hope I don’t have bad dreams the next while.. we think Lucy, our 8 year old collie girl, might have cancer. And that is just breaking my heart. If this blog is slow to update, that is why.

Okay super weird dreams last night. I’ve been in Los Angeles over the weekend but I’m home now.

In my dream I was at the beach… and we were swimming around. The layout of the beach was gorgeous and at low tide you could almost walk to another island of sand. But it was high tide and so if you went out into the middle, there were killer whales jumping around. But some people did it anyway. At one point there was a big green sea creature that jumped up high, then landed on one of my friends. She didn’t die.. she came out of the water looking like this huge Zucchini or something. LOL. Maybe a praying mantis. She didn’t have any fiber optic cables on her, but she had long arms and legs and climbed up this huge cliff. We had to go up too and tried to get her back to being a human… then the dream changed.

I was in a bar with some men. There were four men.. and they were all vying for my attention. Two of them would have been okay if we were a threesome, and so I was leaning toward them. The bar was having a bar tender interview and so I participated but a girlfriend got the job. It was very odd… and I don’t remember too much more about that one!

Oh no! When I had to get up to go to the bathroom last night about 2am, I know I was having a dream. Dangit.. it was interesting, too. But now it escapes me. Dogs… it was about the dogs, I remember that. And I think flyball… perhaps about the Townhouse my flyball team, the Thunderpaws here in Utah, is going to rent in Vegas when we go to a flyball seminar, our captain found it while looking for Vegas hotels…

Hrmph. It really bugs me when I don’t remember a dream, especially when I know I had one!

I went to do some dog training this morning so didn’t get a chance to blog about my dream from last night, until now. So I hope I remember it…

I was at a flyball tournament with a couple of friends from my flyball team. I remember having the dogs in the car.. I had three of the dogs with me, and being stuck somehow. And Tatum got out, and there was a cat running around. The cat turned into a snake and disappeared into a hole, and Tatum wanted to go after it but couldn’t get into the hole. So I held onto her until the snake came back out. But by then we were distracted because our friends had their dog in their car with a cat, too. And there was a very cute black dog in there (looked like my border collie, Chase, but a bit different).

I seem to remember being inside a building too, and trying to run from someone.. but now that isn’t coming back to me as well. It’s interesting, dream memories. What I remember, and what I don’t remember. When I go on trips and stay in Branson hotels, I don’t seem to dream as vividly as when I’m home.
