I find these "whatever" days difficult ...
I've had a few strange dreams lately, so let's talk about those.
From last night: An "endless homework" type dream. In it I discovered that in order to graduate college (possibly just the Japanese program), I needed to give a speech along with a demonstration or ... my own AMV (anime music video WHUT -- they showed some hand-drawn examples, one done by yaoi fangirls 9.9) -- to prove my otaku-ness, I suppose XD I decided that the AMV sounded easier, but to my horror, I didn't have my anime DVDs with me in the hotel we were all staying in (... I don't know why this would make a difference since the AMVs I've made have used d/l episodes). Then I found out I only had a week before I needed to present, and as the days went by, I couldn't think of a topic. In typical dream reality, the venue of the dream kept switching from a hotel (for a convention, I guess?) to a nice neighborhood where my family was fixing up a house. There was also a subplot with an extremely flirtatious guy who immediately tried to ask me out upon meeting him. I ran away (lol oh me -- but it was cool because I had the ability to transport different places by using web addresses, which is how I got away from the guy XD) and then discovered we were going to be next-door neighbors. Oh noes!
This dream also included a lot of people I knew -- my computer science major roommate and her boyfriend, other people from the Japanese program, and possibly Aya and Omi (though I'm not entirely sure). And no, the extremely flirtatious guy was no one I knew.
Speaking of AMVs ... I was watching some of my old (nearly all unfinished) AMVs the other day. It was interesting and makes me want to work on some of them again. There's one in particular that I really, really like, but I've only finished a bit more than half of it. Maybe I'll upload one or two another day if anyone's interested.
From two nights ago: A dream about murder(s). Typical horror movie fare, I suppose, with some people getting murdered and sick killers on the loose (I get the sense that this dream's origin was reading the wiki pages on the Tate and LaBianca murders AKA the Manson murders -- horrible, horrible stuff). The strongest image from this dream was pretty disturbing. A female killer got into my room (I don't know if she was after my family or just me or what). I fought her for a bit or knocked her down (somehow), but then she slid all the way under my bed to pop up on the other end. I knew what she was doing and got some sort of sharp, slender object (possibly an ice pick or a screwdriver), and when she came up ... *shudders* I stabbed her over and over again, but I'm not sure she ever stopped attacking me. There was blood everywhere. I woke up not long after.
Certainly, a horrifying dream. I suppose if someone were trying to kill me I would use what means I could to defend myself/get the heck away, but ... I don't think I could do something so brutal as that dream. Like I said, though, I think this dream was inspired by reading about the Tate murders in particular. Imagining myself as one of the people in that house, being attacked in such a brutal, relentless way ... Even though I don't think my neighborhood is particularly dangerous, I do still worry sometimes. I woke up too early in the morning feeling very paranoid/uncomfortable, and it took me a bit of time to settle down after a dream like that.
From a few more nights ago: I'm getting dreams mixed up ... I've had more than usual recently, and if I'm remembering correctly, this one was pretty scattershot. In one part I was visiting a married friend I haven't seen since her wedding. We were outside her house, in a spacious green backyard with a little bridge and some big trees, when something large and white came lumbering toward the bridge. I was startled, but she said, oh, it's just one of the sheep. But, in the way of dreams, though I agreed that it was just a sheep, it was actually a sort of ... I guess a strange man lumbering around on his hands and knees, wearing a sheep costume. Which honestly, is a creepy image to me.
The next part of the dream had me jogging along a winding road through the forest preserve that I often drive (but would never ever walk down). Suddenly a man was running behind me. I tried to get away from him, but he was much faster and caught me. I somehow knew (or perhaps he changed in front of me) that he was a werewolf who had been terrorizing the area. He dragged me off (possibly leaving me somewhere for a while to do some more terrorizing), and the next part of the dream I remember is running around an older church with white walls and balconies on both sides (rather than at the back) of the sanctuary. There were lots of people sitting up in the balcony to listen to the message, and either I was trying to warn them or escape the wolf or just ... running around for whatever reason. I think I ran into him again, but I don't remember much else as far as a plot goes. I do remember that, despite the circumstances, the werewolf was not really a bad guy. We may have even tried to work together somehow (or fallen in love idk XD)
Maa, I didn't think I'd end up writing about dreams, but that's what happens with these entries.
Still to go:
Day 13 - A fictional book
Day 14 - A non-fictional book
Day 15 - A fanfic
Day 16 - A song that makes you cry (or nearly)
Day 17 - An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)
Day 18 - Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 19 - A talent of yours
Day 20 - A hobby of yours
Day 21 - A recipe
Day 22 - A website
Day 23 - A YouTube video
Day 24 - Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 25 - Your day, in great detail
Day 26 - Your week, in great detail
Day 27 - This month, in great detail
Day 28 - This year, in great detail
Day 29 - Hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days
Day 30 - Whatever tickles your fancy
