Blog: My dreams are telling me I'm scared of rainbows



It's hard to keep track of dreams. I used to have the most insane dreams when I was about 8, ones that really seemed to say something about my psyche.
I don't dream as often anymore, though I did last night; and it was pretty damn terrifying.
I'll get to that later. I just want to write down a few dreams today though, as it would truly be a loss to the world if these were forgotten.

A repeating dream:

I haven't had this one for a while, though I remember having it about three times. I'm sitting at home on a couch, just relaxing or something. Suddenly I hear a boom. I look outside and notice a dark shape move by fast. I run outside, scared. There I notice a giant ball, maybe fifty feet high. It absorbs people it rolls over. Every time it rolls something over, their eyes, arms, legs and mouths are added to the ball. It moves at will.
I was completely terrified at this thing, so naturally I run away. As I run, I notice I seem to be the only person left in town. And then I wake up.
This seems sorta Katamari-like to me now, though I'm not sure if I was aware of Katamari back then. So maybe I was subconsciously picking it up? Or I saw the game somewhere? Or I was just really scared of giant mutant balls?
It was the same the first two times it repeated, though the third time it appeared during my school's field day. Just weird man.

My other, more frequent WTF repeated dream:

This one was yearly. Haven't had it in about three years though.
I'm in my old elementary school. Except it seems to have turned into a car wash/supermarket. In front of me are my cats in a shopping cart, rolling away while mewing sadly. As I jump and doge those blue car wash things, they disappear out of sight into the parking lot. Naturally, I follow them.
This is where the whole repeated thing comes in. There's three different ending.
1. Death
In this one, I see the giant basilisk from the second Harry Potter in the parking lot. It roars at me a bit. I ignore it and run back inside the school, which is now a full supermarket. I pick up some bread off the shelves and find it is actually a cat in the shape of a loaf of bread. All the food is actually cats.
Suddenly, I hear the basilisk again. It's in the supermarket. And then it undramatically eats me. And I die.
And no, I don't wake up. I just stay asleep, not dreaming.
2. Killing it
In this one, I simply grad a nearby sword and shield and kill the basilisk. And then I wake up. Very simple, really.
3. Flee
This one is just like the one where I die, except instead of getting eaten, I grab a tree and break it into a working car. And drive vaguely into the distance.
The thing with this dream is, I can see where it can from. I probably was scared of the basilisk in HP and had a weird dream. And as for the turning a tree into a car part, well, haven't we all?


The most boring dream ever to repeat:


I seem to have many repeating dreams.
In this one, all that happens is my brother drives a car. I'm sitting in the back seat, just sitting while he drives it somewhere. I've been having this for ages now. It's stopped now, probably cause my brother really is driving a car now.

A game of some sort:
This one just came back to me as I was writing the next dream out. Right at the word 'giant'. Don't ask.
The details are a bit fuzzy though.
I was with maybe ten other people in a mine cart over some lava. We knew we had to not touch the lava, or we would be turned into a stature. We actually had a few statures with us. We arrived at our destination, which was a portal. When we stepped in, we found ourselves on a high forested hill that was next to a steep valley. We knew we had to go somewhere, but we didn't know where. Most people agreed it was the next hill over, so we started on our way. At the bottom of the hill, however, I was suddenly unsettled. I got a few other people to come with to hide behind a large rock for awhile.
At the other hill, a large bird like thing came into view alarmingly fast. It trampled the rest of the people. Me and the people left were transported back to the cart unharmed.
Right away, one person lost hope. It was a girl who looked vaguely like an anime character, and always had her eyes wide open. As the cart started moving away, I got out and consoled her. The cart left us behind, so we traversed a labyrinth of badly pixilated walls together. At some point, the girl fell into lava and died. At the end, I found myself at a circular room. The stone statures of the other people decorated the room, and on the ceiling there were fourteen empty frames and one filled with a picture of the girl that had died. A man appeared and told me the girl was his wife.
I was then transported to a dinar, where the jukebox was a portal back into that place. I'm not really sure why.

Rainbows are a reason to panic:


Search me for why I had this dream. It's got to be the weirdest thing to come out of my head since that one short story I wrote.
I was asleep (in the dream) when I wake up due to someone brushing my hair. I see it's Evil. I'm a bit weirded out by this, but in the dream I don't care. I notice the small bit of strand I can see is with green and blue streaks, so I realize Evil is dying my hair with a comb (Somehow. It made sense in the dream). Evil then leaves into oblivion and  I go to check how my hair looks. It's dark in the mirror room, so I turn on the light.
I am mortified to discover that my hair is now white with color changing streaks. The streaks just flash different colors like a old neon sign. I am literally afraid of the rainbows, so I turn off the lights.
Suddenly, I remember graduation is tomorrow (It was actually last week). I am now extremely angry at Evil. I go to my barn and find her sitting there. There, I explain that I am afraid my hair will ruin graduation. Evil is profoundly sorry and offers to take me somewhere to remove the dye. We get on what seems to be a german WWII motorcycle and ride off. About halfway to our destination, however, something is off. There seems to be a brightly colored missile going through a drawbridge. We continue up the bridge anyways, but are picked up by a giant thing. The thing remarks that we will be fed to something. It puts us down on the brightly colored missile, and I wake up in utter confusion.
I need a dream analyzer here right now.

A quote to end this:

 Well said, Fact Sphere. Well said.
