  • Dream: Hogwarts…Giantpaper-style B)

    Cast:

    me: me

    Jeidai: cousin

    Dream:

    Note: Everything I know about HP comes from either the movies or Wikipedia. I don’t really have the attention span to actually read the books. o_o

    I went to school in San Luis Obispo, CA (where Jeidai currently goes to school at CalPoly). My mom and I stopped off at some checkpoint nearby the school when she said that’s as far as she could take me. Since I had my car, I could drive the rest of the way. I decided ‘nahhhh, I’m going to walk instead!’ Buuuuut since it was about 30 miles away, I rode my bike instead (which I also conveniently had :3). When I was done with school for the day, it was time to head home for the day. I went back up to the checkpoint and thought about having my mom pick me up (and as for my car still being there…what car? :O).

    But instead, I decided to go to Hogwarts (wow, looks like “Hogwarts” is in the Firefox dictionary…it wasn’t underlined when I typed it), which wasn’t too far away. Also, I am now Harry Potter, since everything was in my POV, but I looked and sounded exactly like Harry. XD

    In this Hogwarts, the houses were in modern-looking CalPoly-esque style buildings. Except for one which is also kind of abandoned. The only ones who lived in it were…Harry, Jeidai and some others. Also in order to get to it, you have to crawl into this hollowed-out tree and into a hole in the ground. Then you would appear in one of the CalPoly-esque buildings (which doesn’t look so CalPoly-esque on the inside). This was so only residents of that house/dorm could access it, but pretty much everyone knew about this “secret” entrance.

    (In a previous dream where I was Harry and Jeidai was Hermione, we lived in a Hogwarts-style dorm that could only be accessed via hollowed-out tree.)

    One day, I was talking with my zombie friend* and he wanted to know about this “secret” entrance. I told him that only residents of that dorm could get in. Oh yeah, I also accidentally hinted about its location. o_o The zombie took off to notify his friends and I knew I better tell someone fast.

    *I was up really late last night playing as a zombie on Gaia’s Halloween Hysteria event. 😀 Two factions down, two to go (zombie and human).

    I immediately went to the dean of that dorm, whose name was similar to Cornelius Fudge (I think his first name was Cornealus?). His face looked a bit like the Mad Hatter’s from Alice in Wonderland, only less cartoony-looking (but he was just as goofy/silly). And he had hair like a jack playing card.

  • Dream: Soft and Cozy Inn™

    Haha, once again, I get to torture you with another dream of mine. :3 (Actually, this one’s not as exciting as the other ones. But four days in a row with dreams. Maybe there should be an Internet meme called “365 Dreams a Year” or “Dream-a-Day”. :P)

    A Capstone classmate and I were lodging at a public swimming pool. In exchange for being able to stay the night, we were asked to clean the place up. We both sat at a long table by the pool, talking while working (I was using some face cleaning stuff to clean furniture, various objects and anything that’s wasn’t actual people faces).

    The dream switched over to my church (where I do volunteer work). I was given the task of printing out a stack of black-and-white flyers on colored paper. But when I pressed the print button, a full-color, legal-sized poster on white paper came out. I figured that one of the ministry assistants had in the printing queue, and thought about printing the rest of out (but decided against it, when I remembered that she might want to look it over and make corrections before printing out the rest). I took a stack of colored paper and hunted for the tray to put it in…except I couldn’t find said tray. :O (Other than that, I was pretty amazed at how much luck I was having with the printer, as seeing as how it didn’t act like it was possessed. :P)

    Now I was at home, in the living room. Except the living room no longer looked like our living room; it looked like a meeting room or a conference room. All around the perimeter of the room were sofas and tables. And there were a bunch of people I was unfamiliar with were also in that room (some kind of ceremony going on). Then I remember I lost a poster in this room a long time ago, so I decided to find it before someone else did.

    That resulted in me crawling around on the floor, checking under the sofas and tables (even when people were in danger of stepping on me :O). I would check in areas I have not looked in for a long time, and I would crawl right across the room to get to the other side. ^_^;

    The dream shifted back to the public pool. Our work (classmate’s and mine) was done, and we headed to our “room”, which looked like a locker room under construction…and it probably was, since there were lockers lined up against the walls. In between each set of lockers was a sleeping bag hanging on the wall. Classmate, myself and other people staying at the pool slept in these sleeping bags. 😛 In the middle of the room was a long, unfurnished dining table and somewhere in the corner were old kayaks and paddles.

    (As for the entry title, there was a scene in Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice #10 where Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan have to go to a place called Soft Landings Inn…which was nothing like its name suggested. 😛 It was rundown and downright ugly-looking, so this dream reminded me of that.)

  • The Legalities of Dreaming

    You know when you’re dreaming, you sometimes notice you could do anything you want (i.e. fly). I had one of those this morning, which came in handy for me, since it was also one of those fugitive dreams. Except this time, some jerk over in Dreamworld decided that since I get amazing superhuman powers, the other inhabitants in my dream (i.e. people I was trying to get away from) should also get said amazing, superhuman powers. So while running from them, I decided to fly up to a telephone pole I saw nearby, thinking I would be safe there. But when I kind of “thought” my way up, I saw that one of the other folks after me could do the same.

    So I decided to fly off from there, with the others on my tail. But I didn’t like the fact that they could do whatever I could do, because this is MY dream! I’M the only one who’s supposed to have amazing superhuman powers! So I managed to disable their powers by thinking ‘And Youtube decided it no longer wanted to play’ (their powers are powered by Youtube* :)). With that obstacle out of the way, I pressed on, and when I flew up, I discovered that there were several different layers to this world, and because I could fly, I could reach all of them. They all looked pretty much the same (green grass growing with some colorful tents set out).

    *I think mine were powered by Google, which owns Youtube. Maybe that’s why I had such an easy time disabling their powers. 😛
