I was in a dust storm trying to walk to my house uphill. It was pushing me back and struggled each step I took. I was holding my hand across my face to protect my eyes but it was no match for the strong winds. There was something in my head that said I HAD to get there. Like there was something waiting for me, or someone.
I had a dream that John Carroll Lynch somehow trapped me, my dad, and Tina Fey in a cubicle. He pulled out his pistol and started shooting everywhere. He kept missing us, but with his final bullet, he shot me in the neck. I said, “Dad, if I die and you survive this, please, please, please burn my diary before anyone reads it.”

Last night I dreamt that I was at my parents’ house again. Everything was pristinely white and clean, and I was comfortable. I was woken up by the sound of a siren outside of my fourth-floor walkup with dirty tile floors and a window facing an interior courtyard where nothing’s grown for years.
It is dark - probably around midnight. There are streetlamps around me lazily casting an orange glow onto the scene. I am standing on a sidewalk. I notice a group of my bros are to my left. They look pissed off about something in front of us, but I can’t quite make out what they are saying. A few feet in front of us, I see a bar (or a club) with its entrance blocked by a faceless crowd - some...
Last night I dreamt that me and a big team of followers were having a war with Voldemort around Hitchin town. We all had big bottles of lemonade to soak our wands in because without lemonade they wouldn’t work. We chased Voldemort around the churchyard but all my followers got trapped in Simmons bakery and I was on my own. I was about to begin dualing when I realised I had run out of lemonade so I...
I was a freshman in college walking around the campus with my friend when an Asian guy comes up to us and says we should join the orchestra. “Sure! That’d be cool!” we said, and followed him into an auditorium, but before I went in however I saw a fat lady around the corner talking on the phone. “Wait, is that the conductor?” I asked the Asian guy. “Yeah, she’s kind of annoying, but I guess she’s...
Last night I dreamed about my friend Danielle’s future wedding. She planned a night-time wedding and everyone was at her house, getting ready for the ceremony. Danielle’s dad was telling her that she looked slutty and to put a “damn shawl on or something”. Her wedding dress was actually great - it was short and had gold & blue pictures & pattern all over it.
She was getting married near...
I was on top of a building, naked, giving an a cappella performance of Joan Baez’ Diamonds & Rust album to a small crowd on the street outside, and I kept peeing all over myself. I’m a guy.
i dreamt that i was in college or something, and i was about to go to school. i sat down next to my boyfriend and he held me and didn’t let go.
then after school was over, i went into the elevator, except i went in the wrong elevator. i think i remember some spinning thing almost hitting me. so i went into the right elevator and started walking home. i saw some girl that i knew who lived across...
I had a dream that i was amazing at archery..there were 3 types of arrows and 2 bows; one a wooden one the other was like a crossbow but idk..the arrows were all intense one had a long shaft, another had a really pointy tip and looked like a pencil but with little feathers at the end and it was pure black, and the last one had long feathers at the end..everytime i shot the arrows i would get the...
I had a dream that I was sitting in a theatre with all my friends. We had just been watching a presentation and when it finished all the girls started to file down the aisle in the auditorium. I suddenly realised I was wearing a really short skirt and no underwear and started to panick that people would notice. I was at the top of the auditorium and the people below me would have a clear view up...
I was standing in a field beneath a velvet evening, the stars were starting to appear in the sky. A young girl was with me, and I think we were in love. There was a mansion ahead of us, and the lights from inside it lighted up a courtyard that we were walking past. Suddenly I entered a battle scene with a creature that guarded the courtyard. The creature was a sphynx-like figure, but there were...
There was an African-american, very attractive boy walking past my window at about a quarter till 2 am. He walked past, back stepped, shined a light in my door window…& then I look up & there are about 40 people from all walks of life, in all shapes, sizes & colors standing outside my window with flashlights.
Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and I played Call of Duty: World at War together. They thought it was really fun, and they were totally cool with the fact that Germany lost in the end.
I dreamt I was at the wedding of one of my friends, who happens to be a gay male. He was getting married in this huge elaborate church, and everyone watched him throw the bouquet from inside a glass dome looking out into a flowered court yard.
I have a pet snake. For some reason I had a strong urge that I wanted it but I want to get it rid of it. It’s yellow and I’m holding it with two hands: one closing it’s head (so it won’t bite me) and one hand on the end of its tail so it won’t sting me. I’m terrified as I’m holding it because I’m so scared I’m going to get bit. I’m thinking of all kinds of ways I can kill it until I finally place...
The Landing
Walking around the house in a frenzy. Our house is floating in the sky. Suddenly big large mechanized floats with speakers tells us we must ground while we finish breakfast. My family is thinking, what is this bullshit? They can’t change the way we live like this. Some revolutionary event is happening. A government takeover; our lives will be altered forever. We land. We see other...

All I remember….
I was at some sort of Bazaar in the night time. It was earthy, and resembled probably some farmers market that your would see in Mexico. Except I never saw anything that looked like it would be a farmers market, just painted walls outside in the night that had that feeling like it was. I just know it was. I believe at first I was standing next to John Mayer and Jason Mraz. They...
I was hanging out with Barack Obama.
I had a dream that I was a cast member of a large show, there were many teenagers in the show, and a small group of veteran actors. Among them was Bette Midler. I talked to her about how I hated that I got so star-struck and nervous around big name celebrities, and she said, “But you don’t get nervous around me.” and I said, “Well that’s because I know you.”
Is this dream a sign that I’ll one day...
I dreamt I flew to the US to visit my grandparents who were staying in a treehouse in the middle of a forest by the lake, which looked uncannily like some rural part of China - only that it was, in fact, in the US of A. Since I was in the US, I decided to look up Sheldon Cooper (yes like Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory). We hung out in his dark blue and red light-lit lab and became good friends.
I...
my god. alex was in it. ): i don’t know, we were talking and he was being all flirty all up in my face and shit. then we were walking out some door and he grabbed my hand to hold it, and i was like uhm what?! excuse me. and it was just so, wow. then i was at some carnival and there was this weird ‘skank’ thing, it had like hammocks and a bunch of like foam and you’d take off your shoes and jump in...
I was waking up for school feeling so sluggish and not wanting to go at all. I don’t remember much being in first period. My boyfriend is in the same first period as I do and all I remember was asking for his apartment keys. Then I skipped second period and went to his house to take a nap. My parents found out I was there, so they picked me up and dropped me back off to school. But it was still...
It was a long time ago. But I still remember it very vividly.
There were masses of turtles among a simple green hill. I was walking along a path when I ran into them, amused to see so many in one spot. But when I neared them, they turned to me and snarled. They began to chase me then, and somehow, I could not run fast not enough to escape. These turtles were easily gaining on me, but they...
I am laying in a bed. Hooking up with Bradford Cox of Deerhunter and Atlas Sound. We take off our clothes, and we starts to go down on me. Then he looks at my vagina and says, “What the fuck is that?”. I tell him to go fuck himself, and I leave him alone in bed. I walk over to the other side of the room and see an attractive man. It happens to be Conor Deasy, lead singer of The Thrills. He...
We were all taking a scuba diving course - others were just swimming about. At one point early on, I began to freak out because it was dark and I felt trapped and I didn’t want to run out of oxygen. Next thing I was out of the water, observing the scene. An old man had cut himself and everyone began to rush out of the water because the spilt blood was attracting sharks. There was increased panic....
i am in my physics classroom. my teacher hands me an orange lollipop- he says i might as well eat it, they’re my favorite. he might say it, but perhaps i just know it, but I’m about to commit suicide- the surreal, over observant quality of a suicide attempt is a part of this dream. i have a gun on the table, and i pick it up- its low caliber and I remember a story my fifth grade bio teacher told...
I was going to my uncle’s house to check on it while he was away, and I took my boyfriend. When we got there, there were three “bad men” there, trying to break in, and they caught us and were chasing us. We were running through the woods, looking for a place to hide, and we finally hid in a ditch and stayed very still. They walked by and they saw me and one of the men threw a pool table ball at my...
In my wooded backyard there were all these evil people, and they tried to take over the world and destroy everything, and they tied me and a few other people to this very big, oddly shaped thing. All around us were tiki torches. If we started to pray or sing this song (i don’t recall what it was) they would shriek in pain and a few of us got free. This older Indian man and myself were now sitting...
I keep having dreams (3 so far) about going back to basic military training. The first one was to just escort a new recruit, which we don’t do. the other two dreams were just about actually being back in basic myself but still being the same rank as I am today. Totally doesnt make since & i don’t know why I keep dreaming it.
He was in my dream last night. We were walking through a carnival’s outskirts and evening was minutes away. The sky was darkening it’s blue. The ground was icy, frozen solid, and there was a bit of an incline along the path. He took my hand to help me down, but didn’t pull away once I was safe. I smiled and shifted my palm in order to lace fingers, but he didn’t move. We continued walking, holding...
