crossword puzzle thirft store funeral

a) nick was scolding me for not remembering the exact rule of a bastardized crossword puzle-like game we apparently used to play. he was impatient and i explained that it'd been like six years or something, and so he should lay off.

b) was with g and chris at the home of some unknown lady who also owned a thrift store. i was up talking to the grey-haired lady, and g and chris were each sleeping on a separate bed. th lady was impressed with my eggshell white, embroidered dress (yes, and i wore my hair up). in what seemed like the same dream, i was in a car with g, ech, some woman named suzanne who was the mother of a woman found lying on the beach for three days and perhaps suzanne's husband. the car stopped and chris gave each of us a kiss.

c) the recent ex-girfriend of a friend of mine died, and we were at her funeral, perhaps even carrying the coffin.

tuesday afternoon nap dreams a+b

a) i was somewhere and i should've been with my dad. i was getting my shit from a party of an old not-really friend of mine who i went to sunday school with when i was a child. at the party, i saw an bizarre girl i used to go to school with and her lesbian lover. now the girl was funny and she looked better. lesbianism had really worked for her (she is indeed out as a lesbian now). so i was packing my shit in the car when the car alarm went off and an older fellow said gimme yer keys and i'll show you a way that doesn't trip yer alarm and i was like no dude and ran back into the house and dude in the house was suspicious of me and running around after me and i gathered my shit and went to the car and i gathered the other girl who was supposed to be in there, altho i don't know who she was and she began to drive altho she was a young girl and then i said screw you i'm driing altho i don't know how either but i'm not a little girl and then i drove to where my parents were which was violin lessons. yes, my parents were (very out of character) taking violin lessons. the girl and i (who i'm 98% positive represented blake- hmm?) kept distracting ma and pa from their lessons and collectively we annoyed the instructor, so we all left.

b) also, i was at my cottage, down at the "other" end of the beach in the ocean, i was there with r and a two other people, both of whom supposedly were into me. r and i just talked a lot and he said that even tho i missed nick and we broke up and it must suck (yeah, over five years ago), that he missed those times because they were way simpler. i totally agreed. we distracted the other two (one male and one female) and i asked him if we could fly away home, if his wings would carry us, and they would and did. when i got to my place (he didn't seem to be there anymore), it was brighter and airier and pretty fantasy-quality. two dogs were let loose from some container or something-- it was sandy (nanny bow wow's deceased dog) and belle-- altho skinnier and browner, i knew she was my dog companion who died when i was 9. i was so pumped to see these dogs back from the dead. this is when i turned lucid, but was really into the vibe of the dream and didn't want to fuck with it much, so i just started reading the mail. oftentimes in dreams, you can't read very well,so this is what i chose to do. basically, i strained to read two pieces of mail. one was for me, and it was addressed to me, but also many of the nicknames i'd had over the years. the other piece of mail was for g from dal announcing that his thesis (written "paper or installment") was due in a couple of weeks, and altho i knew he knew that, i decided i should tell him.... then i was woken up by sounds from the outside.

dream weavin'

i dreamed of telling him my dreams. he dreamed of telling me his. it was fucked.

throw me off a ledge in a mesh bag full of animals

a) so here i was on this balcony inside a building-- something like a theatre, except nothing seemed to be happening there. it was really high, and the ledge was really small. i was sitting on something really shitty that resembled my worthless couch. a superhick friend from highschool was there, and she didn't seem nervous. i on the other hand, was so frightened i was gonna fall off it. i was constantly shifting. there were two children there who seemed to be mine, one about four and the other about two. the two year old kept going close to the edge and i was scared to death that she'd fall so i pulled her aside and gave her a firm talking to about death, saying that it's very scary and who knows what happens to you, but that it was definitely horrific. she didn't go close to the edge anymore. my friend and i were discussing whether it'd be the best time to start toilet training the youngest one. probably not now, we thought.

b) i was with some people, and we were driving a bunch of animals somewhere. on the way back, i suggested that instead of putting them all in a mesh bag (which we had apprently done on the way there), that we give them some space, as we had two barred trailers that were empty. i suggested that we only use one so the aninals don't move around too much. elling was driving the animals.

tofu math gems

a) i saw a gem fall down onto a sewer grate and decided to save it because it had to've been someone's. chloe was around, and it might've been hers.

b) i was to write a math exam (a nightmare to be sure) except that it was given my my favourite english teacher. she passed everyone their shoes from a large box. i'd been given mine earlier and forgot to take them to the exam. i wore my green shoes instead. the exam was held at the studley gym which was supposedly owned by king's, even tho it's really dal's gym. i thought i was going to be late for the exam which began at 7:30 am, so my parents drove me there. i didn't really study. there were a bunch of shitty graphs and shit whose formulas i needed to know but certainly didn't. i remember thinking i should've let dad help me with math this particular year.

c) i found a package of tofu in my closet, and was pissed that it'd stayed there, because now it was rotten and ruined and green. bah!
