3 Nipples & 4 toes

09/20/07

A week or so ago I had a weird dream that I remember just a little bit. In the dream I had three nipples. My third nipple was a little above my bellybutton. However, that's not the weirdest part. For some reason I also had toes growing out of my chest. I had 4 toes coming out of my chest and I was concerned that there were 4 rather than 3.

Apparently 3 Nipples and 3 toes on my chest was fine and normal for me in this dream, but that fourth toe really freaked me out. For anyone who has seen my feet, the toes coming out of my chest looked like the toes on my feet: long and skinny.

Brady With A Goatee?

4/20/07

In part of my dream I was at a skate park with Scott and Jeremy. It was like realride or something. I turned in my waiver form, and for some reason the guy at the front desk had to draw some picture for me before I could go skate. While I was waiting Zach came over and asked me for help with homework. I told him to wait for a little bit and then I’d help him. It took the guy a little while to finish his picture. Then I went and helped Zach and started skating.

It seems like I was up at the library at work for quite a bit of the time. At one point I was up at the bridge. But then it seemed to be kind of a mix of our library and Park library or something. I heard some kid say something in Portuguese to his dad. Then he came over and asked me if I knew where some really big waterslide thing was. I asked in Portuguese if he was Brazilian, and then we started talking in Portuguese. We looked out a window and I was able to find the waterslide he was looking for. It was hard to see because it was kind of cloudy and this waterslide was really, really big. It went up a few hundred yards. I told him that it was a pretty scary water slide, but that it was a lot of fun. I ended up going with him on this waterslide. We went down in this tube/raft type thing. It was quite the adrenaline rush. After the initial steep drop there were little sections of pools, I guess to slow you down a little. It seems like our raft had something wrong, because it would pretty much stop, and the next rafts would catch up to us and smash into us, which at that speed kind of hurt. By the time we reached the bottom there were 8 rafts piled up behind us. I asked if we could get a refund or ride it again on a different raft in compensation for what happened, but they wouldn’t let us.

The next thing I remember I was still at work. However, for some reason there was a playground or something at our work as well. One of our jobs was to watch the playground, the way we watched the bridge, a very boring and pointless job. I was at the playground. While I was there I guess I was talking to somebody that I knew, but I don’t remember who. We saw Claudia and somebody else that we knew about to get on a bus to leave or something. It was the first time I had seen Claudia since my mission. Apparently she was up at the U and was studying to be a nurse. Whoever was with Claudia wanted us to leave with them. I said that I was working. She insisted once more, and whoever I was talking to decided to go, but I repeated that I couldn’t since I was at work. Claudia came over and the other two left. Claudia and I talked for awhile.

The next thing that I remember is going home on the Trax. Maybe I had just gotten off of work. However, for some reason this train was going along 6400 S. Apparently, Zach and Megan were on the train as well. At one stop Zach and I decided to go get on the car right in front of the one we were riding in. As I was getting off the one we were already on I saw 4 quarters on the ground and a few nickels. I had seen them on the train on my way up to work as well, so I decided to just grab the quarters. Megan got upset and started yelling after me that I couldn’t do that and that somebody could call the cops and I could go to jail. I just ignored her and got on the other car. While we were on that car Brady popped up. It was kind of funny because Brady had a goatee. And that is all I remember of my dreams.

Imagine this face with a goatee. He didn't have any mustache, just a dark colored goatee on his chin, the underside of his chin and the lower cheeks. Maybe later I'll edit this post and add a picture of Brady with a goatee, probably just a drawing, but if this blog is still going in a few years when Brady actually does have a goatee I'll upload that picture, too.

Learning to Fly... Sort Of

4-19-07

I didn't dream this last night, it was quite awhile ago, but something I still remember and feel like writing down. Its one of those dreams that I learned how to fly (kind of).

In this dream I was messing around doing those heel clicks, trying to see how many time I could click my heels before landing back on the ground. At one point I was running and I jumped down some stairs and was clicking my heels as fast as I could. Just before I was about to touch the ground I popped up in the air a few feet. I started going back down again, but continued clicking my heels. A couple feet from the ground and I popped up a few more feet into the air. The secret to flying was really fast heel clicking. I started to get pretty good at it, controlling where I was going, how fast I would go up and down, etc... At one point I was counting my heel clicks well into the hundreds, but I wasn't going really high up at this point. It was almost like I was hovering above the ground, kind of like opposing poles of a magnet. I wasn't ever touching the ground, but sometime I would come fairly close, but I was always pushed back up a few feet. However, I was never just standing in the air, it was kind of an unsteady hover since I would go up and down a little bit based on my heel clicking speed.

Sometimes I would click my heels and get really high into the air and stop and start falling really fast and would start clicking my heels a little before the ground to slow down. It was a big rush, but still dangerous. I felt disappointed when I woke up and realized I couldn't actually fly by clicking my heels.

I had a Heroes dream about a month or so ago. I don't remember much anymore though. It seems like it was in the future. Sylar was going to kill Isaac. Parkman showed up and it seemed like he was going to try and save Isaac. However, he got a cold expression on his face and then shot Isaac. In some part of it Peter got hurt pretty badly by Sylar and then turned invisible and ran away and hid. That's about all that I can remember of that dream right now.

Heroes Dream #1

03-10-07

I had some kind of Heroes dream. I guess I was Peter. I saw some guy steal some food or something like that. He ran off at super speed and I sped off after him, shouting after him. Its kind of like how Peter met Claude, and kind of like Clark chasing Bart in Smallville. He went a few levels underground (maybe in a parking lot or something). I jumped down the few levels, rather than taking the extra time to go down the stairs. Just before hitting the ground I slowed myself down with Nathan's flying ability, so that it was a smooth landing. I couldn't see the guy because it was really dark down there. I heard the click of a trigger being pulled and froze time as the bullet was in mid-air. I(Peter) had apparently met Meredith at this time, because with time stopped I made fire to use as light and get out of the way of the bullet and to grab the thief. I unfroze time and the person was amazed by what I was able to do.

He thought that I was like him, being able to move at super-speed. He told me how he was born on the street and didn't remember his parents. He told me how freaked out he was when he found out about his power, and that he felt like he was some kind of monster. He explained how he would use his power to steal food in order to survive. I had decided to let him go and told him that I had to go.

He didn't want me to leave. He wanted someone to be able to talk to. Someone that knew what he was going through, that could help him. He was crying at this time. I held him in a hug and was able to calm him down and comfort him, maybe through my empathetic nature.

The Blinding Light

12-28-06

I don't remember much. In part of it I was dreaming while asleep and I was really tired in this dream within a dream. I was going to play an X-box game, but then went to sleep. In part of the dream I was hurrying somewhere. It seems as though I was going across the stadium parking lot at the University of Utah. It was nighttime and might have been kind of foggy, too. There were quite a few people hurrying. For some reason I was bouncing on my knees to get there. I was holding my ankles and bouncing pretty fast. When I got to the corner I got on my feet. I crossed one street. I was going to cross another when it was clear. A car light was really bright and then I couldn't see anything but white for awhile, even though the car lights weren't shining on me anymore. I had to pen my eyes with my hands and then I could see. It was pretty weird.

Where Did Your Cows Go?

12-27-06

I had some good ones that I remembered as they were ending and was going to write down, but the details have faded. One was with Aquaman. One had to do with Pirates of the Caribbean. One was one of those strange thoughts as falling asleep. It was kind of like the intro to that worms game where they keep getting bigger and bigger weapons to point at each other. Mine ended with each having a laser. The laser had been tested cutting a ham. I had the advantage because I had a mirror over my heart and I had a helmet that the face was one of those mirrors they use in interrogation rooms (A mirror on one side and window on the other).

The last dream I had was a good one. It was quite confusing. I'm not sure what did and didn't happen. It was one of those dreams that I kept waking up but was still dreaming. In fact I'm not sure I'm awake now, because I even wrote in the journal in this dream. Anyways, apparently I was reading some book, written by someone who didn't appear to be Mormon. He wrote about Polygamy, but was defending the Mormons. There was one really good quote. I woke myself up and started writing about the dream. I grabbed the book to be able to write the quote down. Sometime in here I realized I was still in bed dreaming.

At some point I got up out of bed, but realized that mom would make me do something if I went upstairs, so I went into the family room. I think Heather and Clay and Brady and Zach were in there. I think that I woke up again in my bed and got up and again didn't go up, but mom called me. She made me take the garbage up. Then I realized that I was still dreaming. I was in bed with my eyes closed hearing mom tell people goodbye, but I still must have been dreaming, because a little later I could hear Zach and Brady play videogames. But I must have still been dreaming, because a little later grandma was over here.

Then a little later Megan and Zach were downstairs and Zach had to put some password into a videogame or something for Megan and wouldn't let her look. A little later Zach came back downstairs to play his game and realized that Megan lost his cows. He was angry and asked where his cows went. Still in bed with my eyes closed I said that they jumped over the moon.

As I was still laying in bed with my eyes closed still actually asleep other things happened and then Zach opened my door.
"What?"
"You're still asleep?"
"I'm not asleep, I'm laying down with my eyes closed."
"Why are you still in bed?"
"I'm having fun with one of those dreams where you keep waking up and you're still dreaming."
"I thought you said you weren't asleep."
I was about to ask him where his cows went, and realized that that was probably a part of a dream and didn't really happen. Then I decided to ask anyways just to confuse him, "Where did your cows go?"
"What?"
"Where did your cows go?"
"Why are you like that?"
"Because of oatmeal and cheese."
Then he left and I started writing while him and Brady finish watching Pirates of the Caribbean.

***

The part where Zach opened my door obviously actually happened since a year and a half later I still have evidence that I wrote that down and wasn't still dreaming. I think that my grandma actually did go over, so I heard her while I was in bed with my eyes closed and was semi-conscious. We don't have any video games with cows or that you have to put a password in, so that part didn't happen, and heather and clay weren't ever over, and I didn't take the garbage up. So I was kind of able to piece together that the only things that happened were Zach opening my door and talking to me, my grandma coming over, and possibly my mom saying goodbye to someone.

Strange Half Dreaming Train Thoughts

On this day I took a notebook with me on the TRAX (lightrail) and let myself drift into sleep, but would wake myself up periodically and write down the weird thoughts that were passing through my head during semi-consciousness.

12-26-06

Somebody is hiding something from someone. They hide it in a box and write Baby or Baby stuff or something, then they put a baby in the box so that the people really won't look there. the baby keeps poking its head out and saying something funny (kind of like peek-a-boo).

Somebody takes (kidnaps?) a woman and is driving around making her kick shoes (from the flatbed of a truck) at different people. Police trying to figure out who it is by looking for a connection between people hit by shoes. Somebody up on a balcony gets hit in the head by a shoe, but doesn't get hurt. Somebody asks, "Don't you have any weakness?!?!"

A girl cuts her hand on a rock and holds it up. A guy licks her hand and turns into a bat flying up really quickly. He transforms back and falls down. He does it again and falls down. Just before he hits the ground someone catches him by his coat. He's really confused by what's going on. The guy that caught him tells him to drink again, to drink deep and concentrate. He does so and feels power and strength entering him (He's becoming a vampire).
