Look, dreams.

Dreams
 
A short while ago I dreamt that I had gone back to the house I grew up in... that it had been remodeled and certain areas of the folige and trees had been torn down. I took either a seed of a baby baby tree and planted it in a big pot. Last night I dreamt that I was there again... the area that used to be closest to the road where that blind turn for cars had been shoveled into.. to create a low flat area for a sidewalk as well as getting rid of that blind turn. Trees all over the property had been chopped down, torn up. Rich wet dark brown earth was everywhere. I was of course sad as I had loved those trees. I remember looking at that pot that had the baby tree I had planted in it before.. it had grown a lot. The roots were almost overspilling the pot, yet there were inproportianate with the trunk and branches as they were barely taller than I. I remember looking at that tree and thinking about planting it into one of those rich brown dirt holes where the larger ones had been. I remember looking at the other house- the one story red house that was for two apartments.. I remember looking at a large cupboard and studying how the left side that at one point had a tree there, the crack between the floor of the room and the floor of the cupboard gaped with earth or very very old wood and a brown grey smooth trunck rose out of it.. it dodn't go to far though. The top had been cut off many years ago, I assumed, so that it was barely as tall as the room. I understood that the reason it was still there was because it would have been too much work to chop it all out.
 
Then there was something about the boy next door.. I dreamt about him a lot this week. This time I think that I was looking through the glass patterned glass at the blurs that were his family as they sat down to dinner.
 
Then something about school. There was a large complex and my team was above ground. Late at night I was on something.. a hover craft? A scooter? a floating foam pad, perhaps a tricycle? I navigated the halls and darkened corridors in the complex.. and below ground for hours, floating with the power of my mind. I remember below ground.. yellowish walls and pipes, sliding doors and what seemed like an endless maze. I just explored and floated on. I finally came to what looked like an underground gym.. another team was working out and I felt that I might have been on enemy territory yet no one noticed me. Perhaps they thought that I belonged since I was backwards- awake when others would have been asleep. I looked at one of those padded inclinded weight pullup/squat machines and floated further in the room. I stopped next to what looked like a backless foam chair, which really was an exercise machine and did some squat thing on it, while watching the other team and coach go about their bussiness. After that, I tried to float around looking for the way back up. I floated for hours, going around in circles in this complicated maze.
 
Finally I made it back up to the ground level. It was breakfast time. A girl from below was there and she recognized me. She hung around me and we sat down and talked and ate with others from below and from other areas... no one from my area was around. I finally had to go to practice so I did. It was outside, running on the grass grounds of this school.  My coach came up to me.. asked me how I was, did I have a good rest? At first I was afraid that he knew that I'd been awake all night, being freindly with the enemy but his smile didn't waver so feeling deceitful I said that everything was great, yes I had a restful evening.
 
He let me go and I went back to the ground floor main food area. The girl was still there, we walked to the right side and sat down at a table. She was talking to two boys. I looked at some candies on a table behind us. Something about mini colored chocolates in the shape of fruit.. maybe vegetables. Differnt packages had different kinds in them: a whole mix, one mix with two things maybe something brown and something orange.. one was maybe pink, white, red and chocolate coloured... I knew enough that the best flavoured had already been boughten..

long time no see

Well I know I haven't posted in awhile. Truth is, I just haven't wanted to spend anytime typing up stuff to post. :P I weighed myself today: 131 lbs. It's okay. I need to get down below 125.
 
Nothing much has been going on, I've been helping some people write, and worked on writing with people but I'm at a standstill wih one story since I need to get to the library before I continue. I also have been working on my website and a yahogrou_p. (don't want this blog to come up pn any searches for that.)
 
I've also been having a church friend come over every weekend. She's been over 3, maybe 4 weekends. We play N64 and walked to the movies once and basically have dinner before driving her back to her apt. ^_^ She's great fun.
 
Been having some interesting dreams, but mostly same old same old.
 
Last night I dreamt that I was in a high school.. in a math class. The teacher was trying to explain why 4/6=7/8 or something dumb that really didn't make sense.  I remember that I was sitting on the irght with a group of friends and I was working on something.. like maybe a flat computer screen pad and I think that I was swinging on a swing chair instead of the usual chairs. When I finally bothered to look up I noticed what dumb thing the teacher was trying to teach us and when she asked if anyone had any questions only I and another person raised our hands. It was the classic example of people being too afraid to speak up, since after she explained it againand asked if we understood, more people (most of the class) said that they didn't. I was lead to believe that it had something to do with rounding up and division, but we were in what felt like an algebra class learning about fraction equalivants so it didn't really work. I think that this was my brain just wanting to learn some more math.
 
The school bell rang and I was hungry. I looked at the clock- it was stuck somewhere around 8 am and I was worried that that meant that we had to go out to eat breakfast/lunch and come back to school. I asked the teacher while everyone else walked out and luckily she said that it was 3:30. I then walked out, following someone who looked like Zach S (he's like 6 yrs younger than me?)  who was wearing a leather outfit. It was raining outside. I chased after him with my leather sandal clog things o.O to warn him that he would get wet and ruined but he just ignored me, walked on and once outside, stopped at a blacktop 1/2 basketball cout to shoot around with his brothers. I thought that I needed to go to track practice. I suppose that any day after school with rain (spring) means track to me. o.O I then spotted two pools.. swimming pools with only a foot or so of water on the deep side where some kids were playing on floating things in. I wanted to go over there and tell them to get out, because I was a big kid, but decided that I didn't want to act as a bossy prefect so I let them be.
