Dreaming in Digital

I was with Wafer and Shortbread outside a huge mall in their large parking lot. We talked and laughed on this cloudy day, where the grass was brown and crisp, and the air was cold. We ran into some of our high school guy friends, mainly Biscotti, Amaretti and another. I don't remember what else we did but when we were approaching the mall entrance, there was a concrete ledge that emerged from a downward slope of grass and I grabbed onto it and scaled across with my hands until I reached the doors of the mall. I didn't realize I was about eighteen feet off the ground until one of the guys cheered, "go, go!". By then, I tried to pull myself on the ledge, but my biceps were weak and I dropped. I slid down the brick wall to my friends below, a cloud of dust trailing from my sneakers.

I had another short dream I was sorting and packaging boxes for children for Christmas. These boxes were for children in third world countries.

I travelled with four adventurers, who were also fighters. We visited various locations and each one was character specific, as only one character could see the darkness-- the monsters that came up. I was with Lightning in Final Fantasy XIII, a young, cute blond man, and a tomboyish girl who wore a long cloak. We ran from loctation to location seeking out and fighting these shadow monsters. The first location was Lightning's, as she could see the creatures. She directed us with words as she fought along side us. We followed Lightning through buildings in small cities and up elevators. Next was the blond's; we followed his instruction as we did Lightning's at first, though I wasn't sure whether once a character could see the monsters, the monsters would always be visible from that point on. I got that impression though. Next they revealed themselves to the cloaked girl once we climbed another elevator. We went down a flight of concrete stairs in a little town with dirt roads. We made our way to the rural area, stopping by a diner along the road. I was chosen to get information from the middle-aged, farmer waiter. I dressed up in short overalls and red lipstick and had blond hair in pigtails. I used a fake Southern accent as I talked with the waiter, making light conversation. As soon as the waiter left, I rushed out and regrouped with my friends by his garage. As o stepped closer to them, my heart raced in knowing it was my turn to lead. The monsters came out of the ground and I called out their location and the amount we faced. When we vanquished them, Lightning fell to the ground in weakness. She was dying as I held her up. The last words she said were, "tell Malchior I love him." She'd been in love with someone else in the first game, and now she loved her other male friend. Then I woke up.

After hanging around with the girls from girl's night, I went to a family event, but I was alone with many people. In the dream, I saw Nica's dad and Bing's dad meet each other. They looked very much like their child. There was a banquet table prepared and I ate by myself, though I eyed the valentines day heart-shaped muffins. After eating, they were almost gone. I took one heart with red sprinkles, and another that was fish-shaped. The lady watching the muffins pointed to that one and told me it was her favourite, so I tried it.

I don't remember the beginning of this dream at all. What I remember was going down to the lobby of a building that had the atmosphere of a hospital. There was a store there so my mom, dad and I decided to check on it. My dad was looking at Christmas stickers, which seemed to be miss a few in every sheet. He asked if we should get one. Noticing the missing stickers, I looked towards the exit out and saw Barbie dolls, only they were chopped from the waist down and customized to have a full skirt attached to their naked upper bodies.

My dream is kind of fuzzy to remember. I woke up from sleeping and wanted to play. So I played on the carpeted floor of my mom's room. My sister woke up and asked what I was up to and I told her to be quiet since mom was still asleep. There were oblong shaped plastic blocks and a board to arrange them on. I told my sister as I dumped them out on the carpet, that I wanted to be just as smart as my friends Keele Zeibel from Tales of Eternia and Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss. I believed that complicated puzzles, such as rubix cubes, can make a person smarter.

There were family members at my house. It was Christmas time and a big box on the centre of the floor. It was like... All this was made for my family by my cousins, aunts and uncles. My mom, dad, sister and I were told to choose something out of the box for ourselves. I don't remember what everyone got, including me, but my mother chose fake lavender flowers wrapped in cellopane. As she pulled it out, she said, "thank you, Lord!" The flowers looked like knitted socks to me. I walked around and my uncle came and gave me a hug. We walked around together, and he put his arm around me as we walked. I felt uncomfortable, but this was family so I trusted that he wouldn't do anything funny, and he didn't.
