I went on a journey to meet a friend. When I got there, we prepared to meet some of my family. He unexpectedly gave me a gift, it was an amber pendant and bracelet. I was surprised because I didn't know he loved me.

I was at a family gathering. It was my birthday and a boyfriend was with me. I went into our room to find a large dress box on the bed. it contained what looked like a fifties style dress with a very full circle skirt, yellow with gray stencilled designs on the skirt. he helped me put it on so that I could discreetly undress under it and slip into the beautiful dress (my aunt was in the room, folding sheets on another bed). The dress was like a work of art.

As I dug further into the box, it contained an unlikely amount of gifts. and as i got further into the box they were more and more modern and kinky. a normal looking shirt had within it a hidden merry widow of violet satin, with garters. there were folded up black net goth-looking pieces of lingerie. I took off my dress to try on a two piece turquiose pvc outfit, and the boyfriend, seeing me naked, started making out with me.

i found a card in the box which said that a wealthy man at the hotel (we were now in a hotel suite) had given me these dresses. The card looked generic, it was all preprinted with this strange offer of random generosity mixed with a stalker mentality - and it even had a $1.99 price on the back. I had no idea who would give me the box of clothing. but i wanted it, so I didn't care.

Scene wipe. as time went on, my boyfriend got more and more attached to the money I was now receiving daily gifts from this other man, to the clothing, which my boyfriend appropriated and insisted on wearing himself, with black lipstick so he resembled a goth dude.

I received a key to a fancy car with a note from this wealthy suitor, and my boyfriend and I at this point were disagreeing on the propriety of these gifts. I refused to accept them and he argued that I should take what i was offered without question. My family took his side as well, they saw no reason why I should not accept the bounty.

Scene wipe. I'm now in my house - which is not my house, nor am I any
longer, me. I'm in my early twenties and bear no resemblence to myself. The wealthy suitor has bought his way into my house, he's hiding out in a room upstairs, and he manages to convince my roommate that he should stay there.

I finally meet him and he's so young and non-threatening that i can't believe he's the same man that possesses this great wealth and is so creepy. I'm not won over, but mollified.

I ran into a friend on a journey, who said hello to me as I ignored him. Then he told me he loved me.

I was driving in unfamiliar territory, with questionable brakes and poor visibility. The dream all started at some kind of dating thing, where i ignored all the action and spent my time trying to make jello molds. Why the jello molds, I do not know.

I walk into a garden and come upon a group of geisha who are unaware of my arrival. The braches and leaves float past silently. The geisha are evolving. They turn anxiously like a group of gazelle in safari. One of the geisha takes me to the back of the store to show me her record collection but I suspect she has other intentions. I see a ring which belongs to my friend, Mr. K, lying on the table. Then, her father barges in and pretends to be furious at having caught us doing something naughty even though we are doing nothing at all. He shouts furiously but never lifts his eyes from the floor. I leave slowly simply walking away.

My roommate Lorely would NOT hold hands with me. I was bummed out because everyone else was holding hands and she wasn't in the mood. Then I received a surprise proposal from an old boyfriend. He gave me a ring made of a rolling paper. Weird.

4/15/03
I was hanging around a club with some people. I had a sort of metal-chick looking wig in a trunk in the back of the club. My ex came out and walked to the stage with a guitar in his hand. I wanted to talk to him but I couldn't bring myself to do anything but hang in the back and wish that he would notice me. He looked heavier than I remember, but other than that seemed the same. I spent the rest of the dream wondering why he had been there.

4/4/03
I was living in a dorm situation with a bunch of interesting people. One of them was an old boyfriend, and he told me he wanted us to get back together. I kept expecting him to try to consummate this decision, but he seemed to be avoiding that. I was pretty surprised, since in real life I'm sure he'd be going for it.

8/11/00
i was backstage at a show. i was friends with the superstar. i tripped over my ex-boyfriends foot on the way backstage. i had a handsome man on my arm and the superstar was fussing over me. i could feel my ex watching me. his new girlfriend entered and said something awkward and unfunny. i ignored both of them. Then my ex was snowing me with all kinds of lavish lies about how i was the one he really loved, that he only moved in with her to please her. i listened without being sympathetic to his begging. At the same time, i was nervous that i would fall for it.

2/10/00
somehow, my ex asked me to marry him. in the dream, it was still during our relationship. i had the impression that we had run off to vegas to get it done. ended up spending the wedding night at home. But what a strange home. my mother and grandmother both lived there, and we seemed to be included in all activities, as if we were still kids. my new husband was very patient, and seemed to have no feeling on what our life should be like; he seemed to feel i had unreasonable expectations. in fact, when i pointed out that there had been no honeymoon, he responded by telling me calmly that he only got married to pacify me, and reminded me of an old fling who he hinted at having some involvement with.

Watching a mouse get trapped by a cat. Mouse jumps right in front of cat and we watch breathlessly, will cat decide to be friends uncharacteristically. Mouse seems to think cat might and gets close to it. Cat picks up mouse by a whisker, and then suddenly, it seems to be a kitten instead as the cat bites off a paw, and then the cat seems to be a human instead of a cat.


5/12/99
I went out on a walk with my ex's roommate and some girl who used to be a stripper, was talking about it. They left without saying goodbye. I called goodbye, then yelled it. It seemed I was in a foreign country, everyone had an accent. The group (school?) stopped everything to kind of berate me for yelling. I apologized loudly. Then I thought that maybe dave and this girl were in love and didn’t notice how rude they were being.
