Dogs and Dragons and Writing

I’ve been ::horrible:: at writing my dreams. Here’s to change…

I am in a home that’s not my home. It seems like a conglomeration of all the houses I have lived in. This first part of the dream looks like the PA house. Both my mother and Nick live there, as well as my bothers and sisters. Only my minimees and I are home in the beginning. I walk through the house and notice a giant German Shepard. I immediately turn around and go to the room where all the kids happen to be. They’re their younger selves, PA ages, and I’m as I am now. I tell them there’s a big dog in the house and we can’t leave the room. I wait until the dog is isolated in one part of the house and close the door giving it access to our side. Then, suddenly it’s locked in the garage. I check and see puppies come out of hidden spaces. Then they’re suckling on their mother, five of them. My mom arrives home and I tell her but she doesn’t believe me until she sees herself. When she looks into the garage three puppies have died and two remain. I can’t find the bodies. I convince her to let them in from the garage and we lock them in a small room between rooms, but eventually they roam free. I pet the mother. I cautiously take her for a walk using a plain red rope. I fear how she’ll react when I try to control her, but she walks down the street with no issue. The dream fast forwards and I’m at a party. I’m at the table of the house where I lived when I was seven. I’m telling two women that I have two cats. Then I tell them about the dog and puppies and how I’d love to keep them, except the landlord would have a fit. I tell them how the dogs just appeared in the house and need a new home and they obviously don’t believe me. For some reason I think they’ll believe the next thing: I tell them I’ll let them in on a secret–I also have two dragons. I don’t see them much, lately just in dreams. In my mind’s eye I can see one of them flying along the edge of a cliff with the sunset over the land. We get up from the table and now I’m aware that the two women think I’m absolutely crazy–but in the dream I REALLY DO have two pet dragons and have a psychic connection with them. We walk to the kitchen where I’m introduced to people I don’t care about. The kitchen is from the house where we lived with Raymond. Outside people are gathered in the grass and around the pool. The only other brown person at the party is a man who everyone wants me to meet and I have no desire to speak to. He exudes darkness and arrogance and I decline going outside. They think we’ll get along great because we’re both brown. In my mind’s eye I see him playing golf, complete with baseball cap and Polo shirt.

Dream 2: I’m in another woman’s body as her in the dream. Men are offering me a “partnership” with someone who’s supposed to make my writing career explode, but it boils down to me sleeping with the pretty man in suit in order to succeed. I tell them I’ll do things alone, even if it takes longer and is harder, and I walk away. I had short, blonde hair and heavyheavy liner + mascara.

Nap dream: I want to sunbathe in our backyard but holes in the fences destroy my privacy. Bobby is in Matthew’s backyard and someone is walking through the yard behind us. I decide against it and go inside. My brother-in-law is visiting except instead of it being Todd it’s Crystal’s husband. He tries to rape me. I try fighting him off but he’s too large, but just beofre he gets what he wants he hears the door open and runs downstairs. Up come a neighbor that I don’t have in real life–with the same intentions. I remember running through the room to get away, but not what happened.
