S.E.A.

05/07/08

I had this dream about a week ago and wrote down: Store, eat, SEA, and B-day to help me remember it and write about it later. While I remember a little bit, I should have written about it earlier.

In part of the dream I was at a grocery store with Derek. It was a bulk store like Costco or Sam's Club. Derek was off looking for something and I was just walking around. We were there for like 3 hours. It was about 6:00. I was eating all the free samples I could and it seems like I even started pulling things off the shelves to eat. By the time we left I was pretty full.

The next part of the dream must have been during fall semester and just before Fall Break, which for some reason must have been in November. I had bought a plane ticket to go to San Francisco during Fall Break because I was considering transferring to SEA (San Francisco Engineering Academy), which I'm guessing doesn't really exist. Anyways, I already had my ticket but had forgotten to tell anyone in my family that I was planning on going there during fall break until the day that I was supposed to leave.

My mom was kind of upset and tried to force me not to got. She told me that I couldn't miss my grandpa's birthday, because I had already missed my Grandpa Zobell's when I went to San Francisco during Spring Break. Apparently my Grandpa Coon was still alive in this dream. I tried to convince my mom that I had to go because I already had my ticket and didn't want to transfer there until I had checked out the school.

A few days ago I had another dream that I remember a bit. It was a Sunday night and I was going to sleep over at Matt Webber's house. His family still lived in, or moved back into, there old house. I walked over to his house from my parent's house. I was wearing my red plaid pajama bottoms with the hole in the left knee. For some reason I had no shirt on and didn't have my garment top either. I went into his house and went down the stairs. I went into where his bedroom used to be, and then found that he was now living in the large living room in the basement.

The Five Man Guitar

04/25/08

I was with some people, and we were traveling. We weren't traveling in cars, though; we were on foot. It was getting dark and we needed some place to stay. There were all these really large mansions that were for people to be able to stay in for free. We stayed in one and the next night we stayed in another one. The 2nd night I went into the bathroom (one of many) and it was huge, but very dirty ad disgusting.

The next morning Jeremy's dad came over. He came in with a slightly odd shaped guitar case. He opened it and pulled out the weirdest guitar I've ever seen. It was a little shorter than a normal guitar and the base was a lot wider. It had really old wood. The oddest thing is that it had these knobs that were diagonal one to another that might have also had a string attached to them. These knobs were on the neck above the normal strings. There was some kind of crank at the base that turned the knobs and played some kind of musical sound, and then normal chords and notes could be played on the strings below. He showed us how it worked and taught us what to do for us to play a song on it. There were a few different people all playing the guitar at the same time. Some one was playing the crank, another the strings, a few were playing drum beats on the guitar with percussive items Jeremy's dad had given them to do so with. What he taught us how to play ended up being a Radiohead song with all the parts played on one instrument. I don't remember what son it was, though.

Apparently I was with some scouts, because later we were all going to leave, but someone had forgotten to do his swimming merit badge with everybody else. My dad said that they were going to head out, but for me to wait for this kid, and then Jeremy's dad would give us a ride to catch up with them.

The next thing I remember is being at my apartment with Derek, and Jeremy came over. He had just gotten home from an LDS mission. HE was still Catholic, but as a Catholic he served an LDS mission, teaching people about the LDS church and the gospel. HE had really loved his mission and had had a lot of success. I remember thinking about how he wouldn't have been able to personally baptize any of the people he taught, because he didn't have the priesthood. Jeremy was sitting at our computer and he was on the internet on a message board. It seems like he was on Muspa. He also had a new hackysack, which he kept up in a vent in the ceiling above the computer.

A little later Jen came over with Jack and we played around for awhile. Then some missionaries came over with a friend of Rebecca's they had been teaching. For some reason they needed me to do her baptismal interview. She passed the interview.

Later, there was some elderly lady that had a meeting with people that were district and zone leaders on their missions. She had baptismal interview forms, for people baptized, that had been signed by these different missionaries. She was reviewing the interviews with the missionaries to find out what the missionaries thought about these people they had interviewed. She asked me about this friend of Rebecca's. I told her that she was really excited about getting baptized and seemed to be prepared. I said that she wasn't going to be a typical Mormon and do things just because, but that she would be a good Mormon. I mentioned that she also wanted to serve a mission.

Abs of Stool

04/21/08

I don't remember much. There was some kind of party or reunion or something going on at the institute. I ran into a lot of people I knew from High School. I remember talking to Jordan Yost, Peter Brown, and Jordan Andrews.

Another Part is real short, but I thought it was so cool. I was at my parents house and I was standing on a stool barefoot. I curled my toes around it and would lean forward and fall forward and using my ab muscles was able to slow myself down and stop just before the ground and still flexing my abs lift myself back up. It was almost like a mix of a push-up and stomach crunch. I wasn't using my arms at all and it was quite the workout on the abs. I was impressed that I was able to do it and did it a few times. My sister, Heather, was wondering what I thought was so cool about it. I explained it to her and she said that she could do it. She got on and ended up just going down and putting her hands and knees on the ground with her feet still on the stool thinking she was doing it right. Matt and I both told her that she was doing it completely wrong.

A Lonely Brute

04/20/08

All I can really remember right now is that I was at my parents' house. In the neighbor's yard next door was a really big vicious dog (or it might have even been a lion, I'm not sure). There was also a cute, average sized dog in my yard. Somehow, it ended up in the other yard and we wondered how we would get it back and were worried that the other dog (or lion) would kill it. It seems like the other dog really only wanted company, though. It took it over under the balcony and fell asleep with the dog cuddled in its front paws. Our dog was terrified and decided to try to get back to our yard while the other was sleeping. It ran and jumped over the fence into my arms, but the giant dog clamped onto one of its back legs and tail just before it made it over. Holding on to the dog with my left arm I slapped the giant dog in the side of the face as hard as I could with my right hand. It let go and I pulled the dog quickly into our yard. The last I can remember it seems like the giant dog was contemplating jumping over the fence and I was preparing myself for a brutal fight.

Where Do I Pee?

I haven't written this dream down yet and so I just wanted to post it before I forgot anymore than I already have.

11/28/08

In part of the dream I was in a supermarket/library. It had lots of computer stations, and books, but also had grocery and an intercom. I was sitting at a computer at the end of an isle next to a guy in a wheelchair. He told me that he didn't actually need the wheelchair, but liked to confuse people when he would use his legs to push off of things or stand up. A store worker made an announcement over the intercom that anybody who was engaged would get $20 or a gift certificate or something. I was pretty excited about that, but a few minutes later someone came and told me that they weren't going to really give anybody the money. I got upset and stood up on my store and talked really loudly to let everyone in the store know that he wasn't going to give me the $20 that he said he would. I also let the guy know that I could sue him and that all these people in the store were witnesses that he had announced that and refused to give me my money.

In another part of the dream I was in this really big house. It seemed kind of like Charlie's house, in that there was an upstairs that was accessed from the middle of the front part of the main level of the house. However, the upstairs was a very large rectangular room that had other rooms on its sides. I was up there and had to use the bathroom really bad. Apparently it was supposed to be Han's and Chrisana's house, because I went into a bedroom that was supposed to be theirs, but saw that there was only a sink, and no toilet. So I went back into the big room and went into the next door, which actually was a bathroom with a toilet.

I started peeing and was going for a long time, like a couple minutes, when I realized that for some reason I was peeing in the sink. So I stopped and then a minute or so later I realize that there is a giant roll of toilet paper, like 3 feet tall, and I am peeing down the cardboard cylinder part that probably had about a 4 inch radius. So I stop and finally start peeing in the toilet which is just sitting in the middle of the room.

Later, I climbed out of the house and went down a ladder with someone else. We started walking through the neighborhood. We realized that it was Friday and that we were late for a lunch appointment with somebody.

Am I Awake?

04-19-08

I had slept on the floor in the front room at Mia's house. I had already gotten up once, but went back to sleep, but was trying to figure out whether I was really asleep or not. Every once in awhile Jen or Rune would walk by, but my eyes were closed and I was trying to figure out if they really walked by or if I was dreaming. At one point Jen walked outside for a minute and I wanted to open my eyes and turn around to find out if it was real or not, but in none of these instances was I able to. Every once in awhile Jen or Rune would say something, but I couldn't understand what. I would try to respond, but my mouth wouldn't open. Finally, I woke up and realized it was all a dream. jen was laying on the couch and Rune wasn't even in the room.

Have You Ever Been To London?

04/18/08

In part of the dream I was going through the field between Greenoaks and Riverview Jr High. There were hills and trenches and weeds. It was as if it was a war zone. I think that I was with some other people, but don't remember very well. It also seems like there was some black and white TV turned on.

When we got through the field we somehow ended up in my Brazilian culture class. However, instead of desks there were a few large beds. Derek and Jen were also in the class. So we were laying on a Bed and we were watching Central do Brasil. It seems like Jen did something disruptive and the professor said something to her. She started talking back to him, but not in an argumentative way. It was more as if she was making comments and answering questions in a way that she was kind of making fun of him, but playing dumb, pretending like she wasn't making fun of him. She would also throw in a comment every once in awhile to make it seem like she was trying to participate in class and wanted to know something. The professor was really confused and didn't know how to respond, especially since he already doesn't really know how to respond to conflict. At one point, out of nowhere, Jen asked him, "Have you ever been to London?"

Pink Drugs & Ice Cream Cones

04/14/08

In part of my dream I was in the car with my mom and dad. My dad was driving and was going north, maybe on State Street. It was night time and for some reason there were these big signs that were telling a story. You would read one sign, and then a little later there would be another sign continuing the story. I don't remember what the story was, though. When we got to South Temple we turned left, and for some reason we were driving up a canyon. My dad fell asleep and started veering off the rode. My mom grabbed the wheel and pointed us in the right direction again. We tried waking my dad up so that he could pull over and let someone else drive, but he just kept snoring and wouldn't wake up. I leaned forward form the back seat and grabbed the steering wheel trying to keep us from crashing while my mom continued trying to wake my dad up.

In another part of my dream I was on my mission in Brazil. It was P-Day and my companion and I were at the store looking for something specific to buy that seems like it wasn't something that really exists. We were in shorts and a t-shirt and there were two parents and a kid that were also shopping. The kid was pretty spoiled and said something rude to us that I can't remember. I overheard the parents talking while we continued to shop. They were concerned about their son. I guess he must have started experimenting with drugs because I remember them saying something about a "baseado" (joint). Later they were counting their money and looked like they were a little short on cash. My companion gave them a little bit of money and we talked a little bit and ended up getting their address to teach them about the gospel a little later.

In another part of the dream some cocaine or crystal meth or some kind of drug was found in a closet at Riverview Jr High. However, it wasn't found by teachers or anything. The drug obviously didn't look like what it actually does, because it was like a bag full of pink grains that looked like large pieces of salt.

For some reason I ended up in a field that seems like it must have been somewhere around 7000 S and 700 W. I was laying on the grass and there were two lions. One of the lions I could tell wanted to attack me. The other, however, was going to protect me. It was a really tense few minutes. All three of us kept looking from one to another. The lion that wanted to attack me started slowly circling around so that he could attack me without the other lion being in the way. I also started slowly circling around the lion I knew would protect, to keep him in between me and the bad lion.

Another few tense moments passed by, then a bicycler went riding past. The lion decide to attack him instead of me, and so it went running after him. My guardian lion somehow communicated that we should hurry and leave in case he came back. I got up and we had just started running when the lion chasing the bicycler got splattered by a bus.

The lion, however, still wanted me to follow him. So I ran after him. We hopped over some fences and took short cuts through backyards. We eventually reached my parents' house, but didn't go in. We went through the backyard. Brady saw us, but we just ran past. The lion hopped over the fence into the next door neighbor's yard, and then over the fence into the neighbor's yard behind him. I was a little bit slower because this fence is old and unsturdy. I carefully, but fairly quickly walked across the top of the fence connecting the three yards. I jumped down just before my mom came out, and continued following the lion to Riverview Jr High, to the closet with the drugs.

Whoever had had the drugs there had realized someone had found them, though, and hid the drugs. It seems like they had replaced it with tiny ice cream cones, but in the bottom of each cone the drugs were hidden. I noticed this and somehow knew who was responsible for this, Megan. I confronted her, but she just looked at the cones form the other side pretending like she didn't know what I was talking about. I turned a cone upside down and pointed out the pink drugs. She denied having anything to do with it, but eventually owned up to it, but tried to justify it to me showing me some magazine that said something about the drug helping the health of people in Africa. This is all that I remember.

George Bush Hopes They Call Him On A Mission

04-12-08

In my dream George W. Bush was addressing the Brazilian people and telling them about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was explaining the basic beliefs and all of the community and humanitarian aspects of it. I was watching it on T.V. with Derek and Jen. the he got out his guitar and sang, "I hope they call me on a mission." The whole time I was wondering what George Bush was doing talking about the church, and why to the Brazilians.

In another part of the dream I was driving down a free-way & I was behind a big ruck. Big chunks of cement started falling out of the back of the truck. I tried to brake and avoid the chunks of cement. For some reason I could no longer see in front of me to see where they were and I just remember pressing my foot on the brake and bracing myself for an accident, hoping not to die.

Another part of the dream was a star wars thing. I was in a spaceship that had a similar design to a tie-fighter. I was being chased by tie-fighters, going through an asteroid field and trying to make it past a blockade of other imperial ships to land on a planet, get to a hangar that had another ship with a similar design to the Millennium Falcon and use that ship to escape. I was weaving through all this stuff, shooting asteroids, and tie-fighters and made my way to the hangar. There were other people with me, but I'm not sure who. The ship that we wanted to get on was locked down, and they wouldn't let us on it. We ended up finding a way to steal it, though.

Super Fast, Super Smart, and Super Young

04-11-08

Last night I dreamed that I was at church or something with my family. I was holding Robby and nobody else was around and I was trying to teach him how to say things. He was understanding me very well and was learning how to say things very quickly. I don't remember everything that he said, but he said some things that I didn't specifically teach (like combining little segments of things he had learned, but in the right way, showing that he understood what it meant). The only specific things I remember him saying was, "I love you Josh," and asking, "Do you love me?" I remember being really excited and happy about all these things he was saying, so I found the rest of the family to show them.

At some point in my dream I was going to church with my family (but it was after the thing with Robby). My dad was driving and decided he wanted to go to a different chapel than the one we normally would go to. We were getting kind of frustrated because he wouldn't tell us where we were going and he was driving backwards going north along 700 W. We finally found out that he was going to some chapel out in Magna. He seemed pretty excited about it and expected us to be excited about this surprise, too. I'm not sure why he was so excited or why it was supposed to be a surprise. Maybe he wanted to show us some family history stuff out there since it was my great-great-great grandfather that founded the area. I never found out, because the next thing I remember was being in some house (Maybe it was a house in Magna, I don't know).

I was upstairs and went into a bedroom. There was a little kid about 4 years old. I started talking to him and he was a very smart kid. he had a pretty high voice and spoke kind of quickly. Through the conversation I somehow found out that his mom was really big, and slow and had a really slow metabolism, and therefore he has a fast metabolism and was very fast (like super speed power) in order to genetically compensate for his mother. He then told me that his younger brother was even faster. I met his 3 year-old brother who actually seemed even more mature than him and had a kind of deep voice, but still spoke really quickly.

The Dog Did It

04-04-08

In part of the dream I had been at work. Justin and I had gone to Alumni hall and had been enjoying some free soda. Later, I had left work. I was over by the Trax Station, but across the street talking to some people. I think Derek was among them. Then Justin comes along with cases of soda pop, probably over 100 cans. They were wrapped in plastic and the plastic started to rip, so some of the cans fell out and a couple started spraying pop. I jumped in front of the spray of a Pepsi can with my mouth open and drank it as it was spraying so that none would be wasted. Justin had also come out with some Ron Paul sign because I guess there was going to be some kind of Parade or March. We stuck the sign in the grass and sat down on the hill across from the Trax and waited. It started to get dark and a cop asked us what we were doing. I told him that we thought there was supposed to be a march and we were waiting for it. Just then we heard a marching band approaching. It was coming from the North, not the South like I had thought it would. They marched past us and then I realized that it was already 10:20 and I hadn't clocked out of work yet.

In another part of the dream that I remember I was riding a bike to Murray High School. There was all this construction and tractors, and equipment all over Greenoaks and I was annoyed because it was going to take me longer to get there and longer to get back home.

In another part of the dream I was with Derek and Jen at a library. We found some secret door in the Northwest corner of the library that led us into a hidden portion of the library. This part of the library was amazing. It was very well kept, was very quiet and had a lot of really nice computers. Then it was as if we were in a video game or something because there were these little places/doors that we could go to that would transfer/transport us to different parts of the library. Derek went through one and got transported back into the main part of the library. He thought that he could just transport back, but he had to go find the door again.

Another part of the dream involved Full House. I guess the family was having financial difficulties and Joey was in the living room with a girlfriend and Danny. The girlfriend started talking about all this expensive stuff Joey had been buying for them. Danny isn't saying anything, but is visibly upset. Then a dog barks outside and Danny asks what it was. Joey's girlfriend says it the dog that Joey just bought for her. Danny goes out to the backyard, takes a dump on the lawn and goes back inside and tells Joey to clean it up, saying the dog did it.

THe last part of the dream that I can remember I was at my grandma's in the backyard. there was a two-year old girl riding a tricycle. She wanted me to ride on it. I started riding on it, but going backwards. I was the size that I am now, riding on a little kid's tricycle backwards.

Heroes Dream #2

03/12/08

I had an odd dream last night that involves heroes. I don't remember much, but in the dream I was Peter, and I guess something had happened to me so that I was in a dream state between life and death. And then I came across Simone who I guess was also in that state. She told me about some guy that had the ability to travel through this half dead state of existence, and that he would be able to offer me guidance and help me. While in this state I was unable to touch physical objects, or even open a door; but she told me that this individual could. I ended up coming across this person and he helped me with something and told me that I needed to go somewhere. I left the house and was walking down the street.

Then somehow I came across Charlie. He was riding on a skateboard/skooter, but it was made from a hand dolley, with a wood board attached to it, a frame and two other wheels. the piece of wood snapped, so he started taking it apart to fix it, but realized he had made a mistake, so started putting it back together. For some reason he needed hot glue to wind up some cord and glue it so that it stayed wound up and we happened to have hot glue. Then some random stranger came up and wanted to buy some stuff that we had, including the hot glue gun.

A Very Odd Sunday

01/03/08

I remember small segments and images from my dream. In part of the dream I was at church in sacrament meeting. It was time for the sacrament prayer, and for some reason Melanie was up saying the sacrament prayer, which in itself is blasphemous, but then she started saying stuff that had nothing to do with the sacrament prayer and started preaching about the Word of Wisdom. However, it wasn't our single's ward, because the bishop was the bishop from Rio Claro, but it wasn't there either because it was all in English and the sacrament table was on the right side of the chapel instead of the left side.

In another segment that I remember I think that it was still a Sunday and I was in a small rural town. I was at the beach and so were a few other people. the other people were down right by the water, but i was up in a rocky, mountainous type area, where I could still see them. One of them was a little black boy that was standing in the water on stilts and the others were girls getting upset with him telling him that he was going to get hurt, especially if he was still doing that when the tide came in. I went down to try to convince him to get out of the water, but before I could he did fall down and hit his head. We were able to get him out, though.

Another image I have of the dream I was in a cave. I think it was still at the beach, but a cave in the rocky, mountainous area that I was at before. I was testing some explosive chemicals in the cave. They were different kind of powders that I would put some kind of liquid on that they would react with and explode. There was one that for the small amount of powder and liquid used was very impressive.

The Invisible Elder

12-24-07



Ok, I was in some kind of odd complex that this is the best way I can think to draw it. The top picture is the ground level from a top view. There was like a courtyard area or something outside of a stadium;track type thing. There are entrances on each side. I~m not sure what exactly is in the center on the ground level, maybe just grass. Across from the entrance on each side are stairs that go up a floor. You can walk around pretty much the whole area up there and some parts are kind of like a grocery store. Behind the stairs on each side is a large circular room. Then farther along on the opposite side of the room are stairs that lead into another circular room which is an entertainment sort of room. Thinking about it the upper circular room must have been a kitchen type area because it had a refrigerator. The second drawing is the top floor from an aerial view and the third drawing is a side-view of the whole complex.

So in the dream it seemed like Rawleigh Greenhaughl and Jared Hansen and some other guys liked to hang around in these circular rooms of the west side (left side). At one point I was walking around the track on the outside and came across this girl and started talking to her. She was kind of upset that some other guys in one of the circular rooms upstairs wouldn't let her take any milk from the fridge (which she needed for some reason) and they were also mean to her. I guess we had walked out the courtyard area, because we talked with Derek there as well.

It seems like we were confined to this area and weren't supposed to leave, but I was apparently on good terms with the person guarding the door to leave the compound and was trustworthy enough for him to let me leave and buy some milk. I came back and found the girl at the bottom of the stairs on the east side and Derek was apparently upstairs having some conflict/argument with some guy up there, because he had tried to take milk from one of the fridges or something. Anyways, it sounded like it was about to turn into a fight. So I hurried up the steps as Derek was pretty much calling him on, and as I was getting up I heard the other guy say that he wasn't going to fight him. As I was finishing running up I told him that that was a pretty good idea. However, when I got up I could only see Derek and started to talk to him.

I found out that the person he was arguing with was invisible. I guess I was also a painter. As we talked to this guy he said that he had confidence that I could still paint him through feeling him and listening to descriptions. We found out that he had been a missionary and had been home for a month. I asked him if his companions were always looking over their shoulders for him. He said, "no," but that being introduced to people was funny because they were always looking somewhere near him, but not at him thinking that they were looking at him. Somewhere in the conversation he also mentioned that he sometimes walked around naked, because nobody could see him anyway.

4th of July in September

9/29/07

OK I remembered some dreams. The first that I remember is that it was the 4th of July. the family was going to have a BBQ at some park later in the day. I was with Matt and we were sitting in a store or mall or something just waiting and wasting sometime.

I went into one of the stores and ended up buying a season of CSI on DVD and a bag of flour tortilla shells because I was hungry and decided to munch on them. As I was coming out I noticed I didn't have any shoes on. I looked back and realized that I had taken them off by the checkout counter. So I went back and grabbed my shoes.

After awhile I decided I'd go home to drop off what I had bought. I told Megan that she needed to move her car or something so that I could park in the right place. She said something about having to stop by at Laura Metcalf's. I went inside to drop my stuff off and everybody was there eating spaghetti. They decided to cancel the BBQ because it was gloomy outside.

I got really upset because I wanted a BBQ and definitely didn't want spaghetti. I stormed out of the house, but for some reason had spaghetti in my mouth, because I started spitting it out in my anger just to make a mess.

In another part of my dreams I was laying in my bed with my pants on. I felt something in my pocket pushing into my leg. I pulled it out and it was a light blue plastic Easter Egg. Then I reached in again and pulled out a chunk of a peanut butter chocolate Easter Egg. I wondered how long it had been in there and ate it. I later went upstairs for breakfast and noticed that everyone was eating a bag of cereal that I had bought and it was almost all gone.

Later, I was at work and I was downstairs shifting. In the large empty section I found an envelope addressed to Sergio from Elder Verissimo. I opened it and there was a letter and some pictures. I didn't get around to reading the letter, even though I wanted to. I wanted to see if it said anything about whether or not Sergio was going to church.

But I did look at the pictures. They were of Elder Verissimo and his companion, whose name was Elder Jackson. They had pretty long bleached hair. They were in street clothes eating churrasco. I wondered if he was wearing a wig to have fun in the picture, but somehow knew that it was their actual hair. I wondered why they were breaking mission rules by having long hair, and having bleached hair. Somehow I saw them at their house and Verissimo was telling his companion that they needed to start following the mission rules.

I decided to get up and write down a few notes about the dream so that I could sleep some more, but remember it enough to write the dream down after getting up. It turned out that every time I tried writing it down I was still asleep and my arm or body was actually on the other side of the bed and not writing notes about the dream. I tried probably about 5 or 6 times before actually waking up.

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.
