So, I haven't updated in a while, so here are bits and pieces of what I've been dreaming about.
The other night I had a dream that started out as an 'orientation' type ordeal for Survivor (the tv show) because me and my mom were going to go on it as partners. We were on an island, getting a feel for what it was going to be like. I remember that we were really hungry, and there were elephants that we could ride. hahah. Then as the dream continued it began to be more like an orientation for Beach Project... and then it became CCP (cross-cultural project - an overseas mission), and we were in an auditorium discussing the trip. There was a girl there that I went to elementary and middle school with. In my dream, she also went to my highschool for the last couple of years but spent a couple of years away at another school. I was so excited to be working alongside an old friend, and the whole group started to build a real camaraderie for the trip. But the girl pulled me aside.. she told me she had some concerns she wanted to talk about with me. Apparently, when she had come back to my school in high school I never seemed too interested in being friends with her. Looking back on my time in high school, I realized that I hadn't made any effort to be her friend (probably because in real life she didnt really come back to my school) regardless, I felt terrible, and I started begging for her forgiveness. I was confessing how selfish and snobbish I had been in high school to have ignored her. I tried to reassure her that I had changed and that I was deeply committed to building a friendship with her now and to labor alongside her on this mission trip. After I woke up, I realized how weird it was that I dreamt about this girl.. I had barely thought twice about her since middle school (which, believe it or not, was almost 10 years ago). Then, that day, she popped up on my news feed on facebook... I didn't even know we were facebook friends... [insert twilight zone music]
I've been dreaming about my Illinois family a lot lately. A couple nights ago I dreamt that my brother was up there visiting, and my Aunt Beth called my mom... she was on the porch talking, and I could over hear her end of the conversation. Apparently, they were all suggesting that my brother had turrets... We were very offended by the suggestion but then i started piecing together 'fake, dream' memories, and it started to make sense... (by the way, my brother does not have turrets, and has not shown any signs of it...BUT James Durbin from American Idol does...)
Last night I dreamed I was at the Kolowski's house-- but it was a different dream-house that I've never actually been to before. It was gigantic! and soo nice. But, almost every room was a bathroom... there were a ton of places to take a shower... it was a good thing too, cause we all needed to take a shower cause we had just got done swimming and it was getting really late. (I don't remember when or how this fit into the dream, but at one point someone had spilled grape juice upstair and it started leaking through the ceiling into the REAL Kolowski kitchen...)
When I woke up this morning, I interrupted a dream that I was in a huge classroom filled with a ton of people who were playing hangman or wheel of fortune on a chalkboard. the category was music lyrics, and it was my turn to go.. but I could NOT think of any. And when I did, i'd start writing the letters on the board instead of blanks so I'd have to think of something else. it was a high pressure situation because everyone was waiting on me and i was holding up the game.
til next time....
