Once Upon a Midnight Dreary- Hazel's Dreams

1- Bloodthirsty Witches
I am part of a coven of witches. There are three of us: My mother, my younger sister, and myself. We are so connected that we use first person plural pronouns in place of first person singular. The dream begins with the three of us on the side of the road, where we hail a cab. the driver is a man in his middle ages, and his only other passenger is an elderly lady.

I get the lady's atention, and my mother chops her head off with a double bladed axe. I then stab the driver in the neck with a pocketknife again and again, until he dies.

Since the car is now out of control, the police stop us. I dart off into the forest at my mother's command, bloody knife still in hand. I am worried that my family has been captured, but I push all thoughts from my mind except for escaping from the police. I know that an Easter egg hunt is taking place in the forest somewhere nearby, and I think I can hide among the children. Instead, I run into a guy about my age who says he will help me.

We go to my house, where I must retrieve something. Demons have invaded the place, however, so I tell my friend to wait for me outside. After a horrible struggle with the demons, I retrieve what I was searching for and make it out alive. But only just. I am wounded, and my friend has to carry me through the city. My powers allow us to fly over buildings and cover huge distances.

In the lowlands, a swarm of yellow jackets get after us, but we make it to the ocean and hide under the water. It is here that we find my family. Only now, my mother wants to kill my friend. I cannot allow this to happen, because I have fallen in love with him. Thus, we run away yet again and go into hiding.

1- House of Horror
My parents are fighting, and I suddenly become lucid. I fly over the trees and go to a large city, where I meet a little cat girl who is showing me around. She takes me to an abandoned building where we find some creepy looking anime dolls. Suddenly, something starts banging on one of the doors, and I know that whatever it is means harm. I try to keep it from coming in, but I am not strong enough and it bursts into the room. It is a demon clown with a butcher knife. It chases me through the house, and in each room a new horror appears, each one resembling a horror movie villan. I am not scared, but I am doing my best to get away. I burst through the window and run home.

Later, I learn that the little cat girl was a demon who had purposely put me in danger. I go back t that house in search of her, where I am yet again attacked by some sort of creepy creature. This time I stay to fight, and I kill it with a lawn chair, of all things.

1- Prince of Darkness
The village used to bea a peaceful, beautiful place, but then th ePrince of Darkness escaped fromt eh Land Under the Ground and took over. I am th eonly person remaining, forced to be a slave for the Dark Prince. He looks like an overgrown slug, and darkness is his aura.

I sneak out of the village and find a large bird that looks like a tree. It tells me that its name is Multrite, and that it is my only hope. But it is dying, and it leaves a baby bird hidden somewhere in the forest.

I go back to the village, and the Prince is waiting. He is furious that I left without permission, so he sends me out to the railway with the dogs as punishment. As we are walking, I ask Alpha (the doberman from UP) if he had ever heard of Multrite. He tells me that he hasn't.

We go to the tunnel of the railway to speak to a consort of the Prince. This is the only perso n whom the Prince seems to respect. While the dogs confer with him, I decide to talk to The Tiger (my only friend in the village) about Multrite. I am certain he will have information.

2- Assassin's Lament
I am an assassin, and I have just killed a whole bunch of people. I walk to the edge of a cliff, wishing I could jump off rather than kill more people.

3- Unholy Sanctity
My mom takes us to a Church service which is being led by my cousin. It is taking place in an old Western town. Everyone cracks an egg into a cauldron full of boiling water, then drop a voodoo doll inside. They start laughing like maniacs. I am completely taken aback by this display, and I wonder what has come over all of them.

1- Friends Don't Kill Friends
My friend from Ireland is coming to stay with my family for a while because of a movie which has been released about her. We meet her at the airport. The two of us are thrilled to finally meet in person, though it is a bit awkward at first.

I somehow see the movie before anyone else, and find out that she has murdered a bunch of people. She says she is going to have to kill me because I found out her secret. "You're not going to kill me," I tell her, not worried in the least. I assure her that I am still her friend and that I won't let anyone else find out about this.

Later, I end up staying with her in Ireland. She is showing me around Dublin and taking me to all sorts of interesting places.

[Hazel]

I remember several dreams that I had last night, but most of them were either boring or of a personal nature (and still boring.) I wrote them in my written journal, but I don't feel the need to post them here.

1- Fragment
I am inside a house that has a LOT of junk in it, and someone is making me very nervous.

2- Interruptions and Deciet
I am trying to get ready for church, but nobody is giving me any privacy to get dressed. Finally I shut myself in a closet and begin to quickly strip down. Just then, some random guy barges in and sees me. I cover myself immediately and start yelling at him to get out. He just finds it amusing and stands there, laughing at me.

Later, Briggette is telling me that she goes out with Chase. I try to tell her that this is just a dream, but she doesn't believe me.

Even later than that I am sitting in a room with Chase and Jessie, who are flirting with each other. I find this amusing, since chase is apparently going out with Briggette. Suddenly Briggette appears at the window and sees them. She gets really angry and storms off.

Jessica and I leave the room and head down to a cross country trail, where we begin t orace. I would have won, but she cheats and throws rocks at my head.

3- An Actress in Distress
I have accidentally left my cell phone somewhere in the school, and it just so happens to be in the same room where some friends of mine were watching porn. I manage to retrieve my phone, but I hear a teacher coming, along with my friends.

I collapse to the floor and lay there, giving my eyes a faraway look. My cell phone has fallen from my hand and is laying beside me. The teacher enters the room and gently shakes me, calling my name. I don't respond at first, then I blink confusedly. "What happened?" I ask, my voice a mere whisper. I am surprised that I have suddenly become such a good actress, but I promise myself I won't flat out lie.

The teacher takes my phone and examines it. Apparently those idiots have put porn on my phone, as well. "Do you  know how these got on here?" The teacher asks me.

"I've never seen them before," I answer truthfully, disturbed.

She seems to believe me, and returns my phone. "Just don't let this happen again." I tell my "friends" that if it weren't for me, they'd have gotten into huge trouble.

Ha, good show.  At first I was only skimming over this, and I completely missed the fact that you were acting.  Pretty interesting little dream.

Usually in dreams I'm just as bad of an actress as in real life.

1- Destroyer
I am in a store with my dad, and we are about to buy a GIANT box of chocolate for only six dollars. We walk away for only a moment, but when we return all of the chocolate is gone. Devastated, we leave the store. ((I don't even like chocolate that much.))

I get in the passenger seat of our white oldsmobile ((which, in reality, is wrecked)), but my dad hops in the gold one and drives off. Alarmed, I change seats and begin persuit. Unfortunately, he is gone, and I have no idea how to get back home.

As I am driving, I notice that it is getting dark, so I try to figure out how to turn the lights on. Whatever I do makes it darker, and then I accidentally turn on the windshield wipers. While I am trying to figure this out, the road ends without warning and I crash through someone's fence. I immediately decide to drive off before anyone notices, but I am too late. A lady witnessed it from her window. I turn the car off and get out, apologizing.

Somehow my grandparents are there, and it turns out the lady knew my grandmother from twenty years ago. I get the lady's number and promise to pay for the fence. Then my grandparent's take me home.

Obviously this dream is a result of the stress of re-taking my driver's test. (I failed last time, and had to wait two weeks to retake it. That means this Thursday. *scared*)

[Hazel]

No recall last night whatsoever. All I can get is a few brief flashes of some girl with a knife who is possibly trying to kill my mother...

I think I'm suffering from insomnia. This is the fourth night in a row I've slept horribly.

[Hazel]

1- My Fearful Crew
My house has been invaded by ghost pirates, and they are holding me captive. I am not sure what they have done with my family, and I don't really care. My two guards are looking a bit restless, and I begin asking them random questions about their lives as pirates. After a while, one of them points out that something is wrong with my ring.

I take a closer look and realize that my ring has been cloned, and that the original is on the opposite hand. I ask who did this and the guards go fearful, showing me a picture of a creepy lady who appears to be howling. One of the guards whispers in a terrified voice, "The Sidhe."

I roll my eyes at this sudden display of cowardice. "You're telling me that that banshee did this?" (During the battle when my house was invaded, a banshee was apparently involved.)

The ring suddenly transforms into a map which seems to be bade of skin. Interested, I ask the crew where they intend to go. They point to a place on the map near Washington state and say they are going to the Isles of Promise. I ask if I can come along, with the secret hope of meeting Jack Sparrow, and they agree. Apparently I now share a part in their curse, though...

2- Late Night Heroics
I get a phone call from my dad at eleven o' clock at night, which makes me pretty angry. He says something, and then there's a long pause in which I nearly fall back to sleep. Apparently the call dropped, so I hang up on him.

Suddenly the dogs start barking, and I look out to see that a strange dog is in our fence. Fred is about to fight him. I see that Bessie is outside the fence, surrounded by a small pack of mean looking dogs. While Fred is distracted, they lead her off into the forest. I alert my mom, then leap out the window and give chase.

The backyard is now like my grandmother's, and I catch a final glempse of the dogs as they disappear into a neighbor's yard. I sprint after them, bounding over fences. I am surprised that I can actually run so fast, since I had been having problems with this.

I catch up with the dogs just as they reach their masters. A little girl is holding Bessie, and I tell the lady standing there that she's mine, that the dogs puppynapped her. when I take Bessie, the little girl starts crying. Feeling a bit guilty, I head home and show my mom that I found her. "I made a little girl cry, though..."

Since it is after midnight, I go back to bed.

[Lucidbulbs]

Awww, if only you did meet Jack Sparrow, it would have been worth the curse.

And running problems seemed to have been solved. That girl can't cry, technically she stole your puppy!

[Hazel]

Awww, if only you did meet Jack Sparrow, it would have been worth the curse.

I'd choose a curse over boredom any day, and being with a band of ghost pirates was pretty fun, so I guess it was worth it after all. 

12/3/09

I had a five hour energy drink at about 5:30 yesterday, and I went to bed three and a half hours later. The side effects were... rather interesting. But at least it gave me some pretty cool dreams.

1- If the Phone Rings
I am in some kind of store, and a cat is ceaselessly chasing a mouse/rat all over the place. It hades under my hand, but when I pick it up it starts biting me. It hurts very badly, so I put it back on the floor as gently as possible. Unfortunately, the cat leaps out at that very moment and kills it.

Later, I am inside a house that I apparently used to own. It is nighttime, and there is something there that I have to do. I start imagining what might happen to me if this were a dream. ((Someone, please slap me as hard as you can.)) I think it would be really freaky if someone called the (disconnected) house phone and said, "I'm in the house."

I go to the front door and see that I left it open. "Oh no," I said to myself, "any number of things could have gotten in here..." I am thinking along the lines of raccoons and squirrels, but it also occurs to me that a person could have gotten in as well. Then the phone rings. ((Okay, I deserve far worse than a slap for this...)) I know it is a bad idea, but I cross the room to the phone. Somehow I just KNOW that Krueger is going to be on the other end. Just before I pick it up, someone in dark robes bursts into the room and starts shooting at me. I scream and take cover, only to find that it is my idiot brother.

We somehow end up at my grandma's house, and she has just stocked up on food. She says she refuses to go to the grocery store again before she dies, so this food will have to last until then.

((There was really NO excuse whatsoever for not becoming lucid in that dream.))

2- The Phantom
It's dark, and I'm trying to fight something. I turn into a creature called the Phantom, but I can't see very well, so I change back to my normal self and summan a winged person with "alabaster hair" to fly me to safety. ((His hair was red, but that's how I referred to him in the dream. Apparently I thought he was a character out of one of my books.))

Later, I am dancing with someone who looks like Hatter Madigan (from a book I'm reading.) There is no music, so he hums a tune from the movie "Coraline." Despite the weirdness, it is oddly romantic.

[wolvendeer]

((Someone, please slap me as hard as you can.))

Okay.    It could have been worse, though.  I remember hearing someone say they once had a dream that someone on the radio was telling them they were dreaming and they didn't get lucid.

Ow... Thank you, Wolvendeer. I'll definitely do better next time.

12/5/09

1- Birthday in the Bahamas
I am at a friend's birthday party, which is being held at the Bahamas. The ocean is a BEAUTIFUL clear blue. We play a very odd game called 78 hours, but I don't remember anything about it. Apparently I have a song on my MP3 player by the Smashing Pumpkins, and I have no clue how it got on there.

2- Epic Fight
Someone is on my tail, and escape is futile. I conjure a sword and begin to fight. I have a medieval long sword, and my opponent has a viscious looking scimitar. He is a much better swordsman than I, but I can at least parry his attacks for the most part. That is, until I am knocked to the ground. He is about to deliver the death blow, when I conjure someone who appears out of nowhere and kills him.

3- Where the Oceans Meet
I am walking through a barren desert with a small group of people. We are trapped in a parallel deminsion, trying to get back home. We come to a place where there is an extremely shallow ocean, weakl lapping at the sand. Something we do causes an ocean to come from the opposite direction and collide with this one.

We make it to dry land and come upon an odd "house." There are several dogs living inside, most of them pugs. They are in desperate need of water. I tell them about the ocean, and say they wil need to fnd a way to cleanse the salty water before they drink it.

Two of the dogs come with me, so I can show them where the water is. One of them dies along the way, and is immediately in rigor mortis. In a lucid moment, I decide this must be because IRL I've never touched a dead animal that wasn't stiff.

I find a journal which has different entries from different people back in my world. I find an entry that Taylor wrote, but I never get the chance to read it in its entirety.

1- Puritanical Standards
Dr. Evil is on our tail, and we're speeding through the streets to make our escape. Dad is a terrible driver, but his maneuvering proves to be a success. We lose our persuer and make it to our destination. From afar, I hear a blaring horn, then squealing brakes, followed by an earsplitting metallic crash. "That must have been Dr. Evil," I laugh.

I am eleven years old, and I learn that my "parents" are actually my aunt and uncle. I am a witch, and my real mother is a strict Puritan who wants me dead. She sends people to kidnap me, and despite my "parents" best efforts I am captured.

In my mother's mansion, she tells me that my soul must be purified and that the demons must be cast out of me. Someone comes to the door and I fly up to the balcony to see who it is. An ugly demon who is apparently my mother's slave attacks me, thinking that I'm about to escape. My mother stops him, however, and we become almost friends.

My uncle comes disguised as Santa Clause, and I hide in the back of his sleigh as he flies me back home. But one of the demons has begun to drain his energy, and he keeps falling asleep in midair. I have to constantly wake him to avoid crashing.

Once home, my "parents" reveal that they have gotten me the dirt bike I wanted for Christmas. (It is really a rusty bicycle.) After riding it for a while, I go inside. I see one of the Puritans sneaking up to the house, an dmy parents grab weapons and begin to fight him. I flee on my bike, but he is quickly gaining. No matter what I do, he always finds me.

Suddenly I am myself again, lucid, running next to the eleven-year-old witch girl. "Follow me!" I say, and lead her up to an old house. I help her climb up onto the roof, thinking we'll be safe up there. But  no luck.

Somehow I become a polce dog, and I lead the girl to an honest cop who will help her. We all hop in the car and speed off towards the station.
