April 2001

I'm in the middle of reading some book. It's a guy talking about something that happened, but it's more like poetry for some reason, and I can understand it even when the writing turns to spanish. I go into the living room and my mom and dad are watching some movie where this older guy and this girl are torturing this other guy. Then the guy starts trying to bite the girls face because it turns him on. She's getting mad and starting to yell at him, and he starts telling this story of how he came to America with his family from Italy when he was young, and he was dating his mother and his father got mad and tried to kill him. I'm in a PE class with this girl, and I think she's stealing because she goes through the cupboards that belong to the other girls, but she really just takes them and climbs up the cupboards and puts the stuff way on the top. It's around prom time and everyone is hanging around figuring out who to go with, and Diana is telling all the girls about Norris. He is there with this big fancy car because he somehow got a lot of money.

Mom and I are driving down Buchanan road. We are about to go through the intersection over by Raley's when we have to stop because of the people going through the crosswalk. I see Trevor and Xavier up ahead, and Trevor's sister running behind them. Her face looks exactly like Trevor's. When we finally get into the parking lot of Raley's it turns into the driveway of my grandma's house, only it's much larger than in real life. Trevor, Xavier, and Trevor's sister are in the car. My mom is gone from the car, and so I get out to start talking to Xavier, who's walking by me now. We hug and start talking, and I wave to Trevor. I'm trying to get everything organized, which includes putting my mom's car keys and cell phone into my purse so Xavier and I can go for a walk. When we finally do, he takes me to meet his girlfriend. She lives in this weird apartment that you can only get to from the back of this alley. After meeting his girlfriend, we go to this boarding house where a bunch of disturbed kids live. We start talking to the woman who owns the place, and start to play a game that is like "Upwords" but is more like a word search. Some of the kids come out from their rooms and are talking ot us. They take me on a tour of the house (Xavier has disappeared) and for some reason Lenny is there. He points to one room and tells me that there was a kid who died in there. This upsets one of the girls who starts crying and going, "I died, I died," over and over again. I'm walking around this big store with a group of people: this really hot british guy, his best friend, and a few girls. I know the british guy has a girlfriend (although she's not there), but this doesn't stop us from kissing each other constantly. The guy and his friend start stealing all these girlie magazines, and right near the cashier too, but I just ignore it. I have to leave so we kiss and say goodbye. I'm hanging around with Dana and Maria in a snack bar line. I'm telling Maria about my idea to start selling bracelets that I make. She has this stack of papers that I'm looking through. She wrote down all of these things that she eats, what other people eat, and various other notes, some of them with drawings alongside. She has one note about how Tricia was putting her hands down her own pants. Maria and I are at LMC at night, and we are just leaving. I'm telling her about one of the humanistic classes I want to take and she says she couldn't take it because she's not smart enough.

I'm calling Maria on the phone to talk to her about something. The weird thing this, when she answers, I can listen to a conversation that she and Dana are having right then. During their whole conversation, I cover the mouthpiece with my hand, but they don't notice even when I accidentally make noise. They talk about nonsensical things for awhile and then Dana asks her how to pronounce my name right. The two of them start having this conversation about how I'm really hot and sexy. Maria is telling Dana about how she was trying to drop hints to me that she liked me that way. Dana has to get off the phone, so she hangs up, but Maria keeps on talking because she thinks I am Dana now. I finally manage to get off the phone by kind of putting the phone far away and making these weird hand motions in front of the phone, which apparently makes me sound like Dana when I tell her I have to get off of the phone.

My family is moving into a new house, and before we even go inside, I can tell that it is haunted. I see the house and I start saying "Hail Marys" and this priest comes along. He looks at all these weird vampire-like bites we have and goes over to bless the house. I'm in Creative Writing class and June is asking where Maria has been. I start trying to tell her but Haley is there (she looks the way she did in sixth grade) and she's reading this newspaper, saying that someone has an ad in there for a roommate to share an apartment with. I'm in this weird classroom with these two chicks who are talking about some journalism class. I leave to go to the bathroom and the bathroom is all big and scary and stuff. I'm talking to this psychic chick and she tells me that I have to be aware of suffocation. This guy is a couple of blocks away from our new scary house, and he's talking on the phone and describing it to a friend. While he's talking, the house changes into this weird brick castle-looking thing. Then the house disappears altogether and the guy turns into a woman and he/she says "I have enough to worry about without Peyton Place [The name of the house in the dream but IRL it's a book] disappearing." I'm at home getting all this stuff ready in case something bad happens, and I go to the bathroom and find these cool razors that give off the scent of perfumes. I have this package of these really weird food concentrates. One of them is this plastic squeeze bottle with this weird lumpy stuff that if you add water to it, it turns into pancakes with syrup. I'm watching this movie where Madonna is an aspiring actress and she's dating this guy who wants to be a musician. He's lazy and wants her to do all his laundry and stuff, and she agrees to do it because she wants him to have time to work on his music. She takes a limo everyday to work that her mother pays for because she's afraid that something bad will happen to her if she takes a cab.

Mom and I are at Longs and we see Maria. She talks about how she wants me to go to this club with her, so I say okay. I have my mom drive me over there, and I'm trying to convince her to come in, but she doesn't want to. I have her cell phone and so I call Maria's just as I see her. The club is the same place as the public library. There's this big party at my house for Mothers Day/Halloween and Leigh's baby Lynn has already been born, and is about six months old. Lynn is crying so someone gives her to me to hold. I take her to sit on the swing outside, and at first we are by ourselves, but then all of a sudden there are all these people outside. There are a girl and a guy about my age sitting on the swing next to me, and all of my older female relatives are on the lawn. They have these heart shaped wreaths, and they're putting them on their heads in celebration of Mothers Day. I am somehow both reading the newspaper and holding the baby when the mailman comes with a poster and a letter for me. I'm trying to juggle everything, and when I finally get organized, the baby is gone. I'm starting to get upset, and the guy on the swing tells me that she's inside. I run in there to go looking for her, checking all the rooms. When I get into my room, Gina is lying in bed wearing this black wig and has this kinda KISS-ish makeup on, only silver and black instead of white and black. I open the bathroom door because I hear people in there, and my Mom and Gina are in there. I'm like "Huh?" And I look back in my room, and Gina is STILL in there with the makeup and wig. I look back in the bathroom, and this time there are two Mom's and two Gina's. I start screaming and one of the Mom's comes after me and starts chasing. Now, I think that I am aware that it's a dream, so I start trying to scream so that my mom will come along and wake me up. I finally manage to make an "AHHH" sound that wakes even me up, and I have a hard time opening my eyes but I finally do, and my mom comes along and she asks "Did you scream?" and I'm just kind of mumbling.

Maria and Rose and I are at the movie theater, and they are showing "Nightmare on Elm Street" (the first one). I'm sitting in the middle, so that whenever they get scared, they start tugging at my arms. I'm in my Religion class, but it's taking place in the classroom where I had 7th grade english and I find this computer on my desk. It's one of those new Apples that are only one inch thick. [IRL I think they're called Apple G5's or something but in my dream it was a Apple GQ and it was white and bright pink] I'm taking it around with me, trying to figure out who it belongs to, and trying to look through the stuff. It's night time and I'm at home. All these people are walking in and out because they think it's some kind of night club. My mom and I find out these two guys sell weed to Greg and we tell my dad and he says "I know."
