dreams
Maybe it's because I am living in a very old, creaky, shadowy house right now, or because I've been doing a lot of calculus, or because I have been watching lots of strange movies and Lost, but I have been having the oddest dreams lately. Occasionally I remember them and mostly I don't, but I think I miss Puget Sound, because they have all had to do with oceans or bodies of water somewhat, although the ones I'm going to talk about don't as much.
In one of them, I was at CC, but CC was in the middle of downtown Seattle, and Alex and Eli were both there. Everyone that I am living with was there, and everyone from the school year as well, and apparently it was the cool thing to do to go swimming at an indoor swimming pool whose entrance happened to be right next to the Triple Door. So all of CC treks down to the swimming pool and goes in, but for some reason my mom was there and we came later, so when we got there we could see everyone else was in the pool already. So I went and changed and when I was about to get in the pool the pool monitor woman told me that my bikini was too revealing and that I couldn't wear it in the pool, so I had to buy a new one (which I ended up really liking), but by the time I got in everyone was leaving, and everyone was in their clothes and waiting on the sidewalk and I saw Alex and Eli leaving too, so I swam around in the pool mostly by myself for a while, and my mom sat on the bleachers, and then I got out and ran to catch up with everyone else.
Dream two I don't remember too much of. I remember (I think) being at CC and finding out that Alex hooked up with Becky, who has been in love with Eli all year and hooks up with him sometimes. And I remember being so weirded out that they hooked up, but not really caring but also not wanting to let Eli find out, because somehow if he found out it made me look bad and it would make him want her more than me somehow, and it was very stressful and too drama-filled and real-life-y and I woke up wide-eyed almost hyperventilating and shaking a little bit.
Dream three was quite different than both. I was back in the Amazon, but with a bunch of random people, most of whom I can't remember at this point. I know Will was there, and his girlfriend who I still have not met yet, but I was with them inside and we were separating all this weed into different piles to let it air out, and then the family whose hut we were staying in walked in right as I pushed most of it into Will's hands, and they were flabbergasted. And then they left, and Will was scared because they were going to think he was my dealer and we weren't just trying to let the weed air out. So then he took off with his girlfriend who was platinum blonde with looong curly hair and wore a lot of eyeliner and a white wifebeater and jeans, and I didn't want to bring shame to the family so I left too, and when I got down to the bank of the river it was really a creek and I was going to jump across it, but before I did I looked across and saw a white guy sitting in a chair between a couple of huts looking at me, and he turned as if to call people and ask "Why the hell is there a white girl running out of the jungle?" and I got scared and ran North before he turned around again. And I came to a footbridge and woke up.
*The part about airing out the weed probably stemmed from the fact that a kid who lived in my house before us left two huge jars of weed he grew but couldn't take home with him on the plane, and it has to be aired out every day before it can be smoked.
Long story short I've been having very very intense dreams lately and I wish I could remember more of them, most of the time.
