Dreaming in Digital

I had two dreams that were related.

I was at an event with my parents at my family church. Even though the location's space was smaller, there were still the same amount of visitors. They had a guest speaker today, and because I arrived late, I had to operate the projector via a computer. During the sermon, the speaker called for those who lived east of a certain city. My mother called me over, and as I walked, everyone's eyes were on me. She told me to join the group kneeling pm the carpet at the front. One of the church's older members, and another child member were kneeling, so it seemed like a game to me. I knelt with them, my head fully on the carpet before me, and wrapped my arms around it, covering my sight. I heard a tinge of my favourite song in the background, and as I heard more, I realized it was Rev Theory's "Far From Over" playing, muffled through the walls. Worried, I left my ipod touch playing, I got up (and I woke up from this dream).

Lying in bed at my husband's and my apartment, I heard "Far From Over" through the walls. The song changed quickly before the guitar riff began, but I still had to find its source. I wanted to give whoever it was with the music something, so they'd play it. I followed my ears to the balcony. Down below, on the street, a group of boys were dancing to rock music. The doors squeaked as I opened them, and they heard me. One of the boys had a boom box on his shoulder, and he waved to me and I waved back. I rushed to get ready and watch them on this grey, winter day.

I had a few dreams. I attended a school or a university that looked different from my current one. When I opened the main entrance, which was at the centre between a gym, on the left, with exercising machines and a cafeteria, I went to the cafeteria to help with an experiment. The room was filled with lawn chairs, which was normal for this school, and to get something to eat, people who were like flight attendants handed people things. Today, there were only a few girls to help. We had to be nude on these chairs but wearing something that i can't remember, and act normal to see if anyone would notice. Unfortunately, classes ended and it became lunch break. The cafeteria started filling up. The testers gave us all a blanket to cover ourselves until the room was near empty. My blanket was soft. It was dark grey and thick, but still moved around well.

In my next dream, I went to my residence I am currently staying at for fourth year university and saw that the staircase had been paved to be a straight slant. I didn't really like it, so I tried exiting another way that would lead through the main house, but it led into a garage-like place and I got stuck. It was dark and empty, like a burned up, abandoned warehouse. The landlord found me, who was different from my current landlord. He pulled me out and told me to use the slope. I was just looking for an alternate route for winter, when the path would freeze up.

I was with my cousins and we were a clan. There were people in an abandoned warehouse that we wanted to go to and take over, but another clan was there. The day we took over, there was only one dude. If I weren't weird myself, I would've believed he was weird too. He was roleplaying-ish. He was spouting lines from Shakespeare. We casted him out and took over using Nerf guns, then left the room to return tomorrow and fix up. When we came back, he was there again, but with his clan. I don't remember how we solved this, but in the end, we owned the place again, except Shakespeare dude was there. He wasn't very happy his clan lost, but I think he was a nice person. We treated him like one of us. I remember this part where he sat on the floor beside a box of rolled posters we were to sell. I crawled over him and looked at the poster rolls. They were from different anime. I remember searching for Alucard from Hellsing. I also realized my butt was in his view, but when he touched it, I kicked him. My cousin's aunt came to us and gathered everyone. She had toys that we could put together and make into something unique.

I don't remember why or where I was, but all there was was screaming/yelling Byron's name. I called it at least twice.

I don't remember my dreams, only two scenes lasting seconds. The first was looking at the display case that my artwork was in. I noticed the four pictures that stood out the most. Since my pictures were arranged in a 3x3 square, the images that stood out were at the top middle and right, and the bottom two corners. Another scene I remember had two girls from my creative writing class in the exhibition space. They left their jackets and laptop on the table that was in the middle of the room.

Had a very personal dream. I don't feel like I should share it at all.

I can't remember the bulk of my dream. I remember I was with a boy, who was most likely Cookie, and in the dream, I remembered my cellphone alarm was about to ring so I grabbed it. (As I was grabbing my phone, I woke up from the dream and grabbing my phone just as my dream ended, and just as I did in the dream. A second after grabbing my phone, the alarm to it went off to wake me up so I can go to work.)
