OOo wow I had a great long dream last night. It was based in dog camp, and I was there with my friend M from down south. And I even have a name… Ashi. He was an asian man who was very attractive and I really wanted to get together with him. I wanted his phone number, too, but I couldn’t read it… I can never read in my dreams.

So anyway, it started where I was driving in the dark and I was trying to find camp. And I knew that I’d driven too far because I saw a gate. It was pitch black, too, so I could hardly see in front of me at all. I turned the car around and I opened the door and stuck my hand out. I then felt the edge of the assfault with my hand as I drove. It was smooth and didn’t hurt, it didn’t even occur to me that it might hurt. So I drove slowly and felt the first turn where the first road went off, then followed it again until the second turn to the right, which was camp. I wonder if this is from driving without my contacts in where I can’t see well, so I stare at the lines in the road (well not stare, but watch, I can see big cars too).

So anyway I got to camp and then things change as they do in dreams. I remember a big building where M and I were waiting to get something to eat. And we were with a .. wait, I don’t think that is in order. I think first we were sitting at a table and talking, and there was a guy there that was interested in me. Not Ashi, he was there too but he was more of a friend until the end. I told this other guy that I was rather interested in Chris, a guy I knew from High School (that I haven’t thought of for years and years) and suddenly, he was there. We hugged and it was fun to see him again. But since he had a girlfriend I thought I would try to get to know this other guy.

So then after that we went to stand in line to get something to eat, and people kept passing us and getting their food but we stood there and ours didn’t come. We didn’t get mad, though, we just stood and laughed and joked and talked. Me and M were there, and another girl, and Ashi and Chris and that other guy who liked me. And I did try to pay more attention to him. I kept thinking he’s a nice guy and why am I not attracted to him as much? Because he is attracted to me? Hrm.
Anyway, later on I remember running through the big mess hall building and being chased by bulls with big horns. And hiding in a closet while they banged at the door. But then it wasn’t really me because I wasn’t afraid, it was kinda like watching someone else.

At the end we were going to travel out of camp. No thought of a car came up, though we were going to have to trudge through the forest in the dark. So lots of people… oh yeah, it was because we’d be housed in another camp further away. Though the prior year (in the dream) we had been housed right there after the party so after cleaning up we could just go to bed. But this year we had to get back to our other camp in the black black dark. Lots of us were grouped up and ready to move out.

I think I went by myself, and I had my cell phone so I could call Ashi if i got into trouble. That is when I started getting more interested in him. I got back home, and I think the dogs were with me when I was walking through the dark forest, and back home was a really nice condo that was all clean and sparkling, and I called Ashi and told him I was okay. And we were going to meet up, and I was going to get his phone number but I couldn’t read anything in my dream.

There was also a point where I was looking at my camp entry for next year, and I saw that my name was listed as Cynthia Blue, not my real name, with someone else’s social security number. So I had to enter my real name and my real SSN….
That’s about all I remember. And it’s already fading. I wish I could remember the feeling of dreams afterwards, but in a few days probably all I’ll have left are these words.

I really like having a dream diary.

On this day..
