I swear I dreamed a lot last night. Every time I was waking up, I was coming out of a different dream. I only really remember one, though. I have put a pad of paper by my bed, and I need a pen to join it, so I can write dreams down as I wake up.

I dreamed that my husband and I were driving to a park.. and it was night, maybe 1am or so. The car we were in was tiny, and kinda made of a plastic mesh so wasn’t very secure. We had four dogs with us, one of them was Hudson, one of the collies we got from Houston last year in September. And my husband let him out, and the others, and I got so mad and paniced because I was afraid he would not come back.

Our other dogs came back just fine… oh, and there was a flying fish crossing the road! LOL I remember it, moving along like a snake, and my husband wanted to go see it so we backed up and parked and saw it in the stream on the right side of the road. Strange stuff. He wanted to catch it for dinner and I said no way, keep the poor thing alive!

LOL strange dreams. Maybe I’ll dream of a new car, as I want one.. a minivan. And I can get an auto insurance quote online to see how much I’d need to pay for it! But I’m not sure I can afford a payment right now. Bleh.

Last night I dreamed that we were setting up crates in some sort of store, like a petsmart or something. And it was kinda for dog adoptions, but kinda not, because we had our own dogs with us and they were going to be crated in the store.

It was for Christmas. And we were installing these crates permanently in the concrete of the store’s floor. We were going to attach the crates to the concrete and we had a whole setup and it was taking us some time to do. The store didn’t sell any acne cures, but maybe for Christmas it could have!

The crates didn’t quite fit, and I was asking who was in charge so as to organize it all. And I guess no one was in charge… but another girl and I said that someone had to be in charge because humans responded better that way. So then there was a big fight about who would be in charge.

Too weird of a dream! I can remember it pretty vividly now, too. And also going to a lunch with Levi being near me in the outdoor restaurant. Heh. Vivid dreams are pretty interesting things!

Sometimes I have dreams that I’m just grateful to wake up from. This was one of them. It was short… but I was feeling Lucy, my 9 year old smooth blue collie girl, and she was skin and bones. In my dream… she was getting old and couldn’t keep any weight on anymore, and so she was withering away.

I was horrified and so worried about her because she’s only 9 and she’s not really old yet! Not until next year! I was glad to wake up and find her whole and strong. I had to touch her right away because the dream was so real, I was so worried about her.

She has had some health issues lately and so I worry.. but she is strong and doing well! I have some dog health books I bought from Amazon books that we look through once in a while to see if our dogs might have any symptoms or something bad.. but usually the darn books just worry me more than anything. :p

I’ve only been remembering bits and pieces lately of dreams… and one of the bits I’ve remembered was looking through a discount bin at a dog store for light blue collars for the dogs. Light blue is the color of our flyball team. The collars were material and a bit weird. In real life, I wouldn’t like them, I don’t think. Maybe even in my dream I didn’t like them all that much. Not really sure. But they were a ribbed type fabric and I kept getting more and more out of the bin.. they were only $3.00 each, but when I had a pile of them they got really expensive!

I need to save money, not spend it on collars! And I need to lose wight, and get on some treadmills instead of eating pizza for lunch, like I did today. Ugh!

I had this dream a few days ago and actually wrote down some notes about it. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t remember it at all at this point.

There was a part at dog camp. I needed a baby sitter, but the kids were being weird… first they were dogs, but then they turned into babies…

Then I was at a friend’s house, we’ll call her M. I accidentally pooped in her bed and I was very embarrassed! I wanted to clean it up and wash the sheets and go home. M had a house up here (she lives a bit south of me) and it was huge, and nice and clean. About 3000 square feet. But I was tired after an agility trial and wanted to go home.

She ended up having an emergency where she lived, and needed to go back, and was anxious about it. And I was wondering if another friend was going to go with her, but I never found out!

Last night I dreamed that I traveled to Colorado for Belgian Malinois Nationals. Last year they had Mal Nationals here in Salt Lake City… well, up in Farmington, really. And I am going to go to Colorado for USDAA agility next month. And both of these were combined into the same dream.

I dreamed that I was going in a van with some friends, which I am going to do when I go to Colorado. But looking at the premium, it was weird because actually the first two days of the agility trial were local, so I didn’t have to travel at all and my plane tickets needed to be changed. And I didn’t need any Orovo to get by.. but I may have used some!

So then I had to go to Colorado for the USDAA/Mal nationals on only one day, and I was wondering if that long of a drive was really worth it. I guess I decided that it was because I ended up going.

It was held in a barn, a strange barn that was almost like a swimming pool, a public one. And we had to wait in line to get into the arena where they were doing the agility.

After that the dream falls apart… but it was a strange one, indeed.

Oh I just saw a blog post about a dog chasing a mouse and it reminded me of my dream last night.

I was in a house, not mine, with the dogs. I think all six of our dogs were there. We were staying there temporarily but it wasn’t really vacation.

I was lying on this bed or recliner type thing, and saw a mouse on the upper walls, there was an area where a mouse could run. He ran by, and fell off, and got onto the floor and ran away. Well, Muffit saw this mouse and went after him. He ran through the kitchen, around the sink faucet, and then disappeared.

I thought the mouse was gone… but then Muffit brought me my treat bag container, it has a zipper and it’s square, and Muffit was all excited. Turns out, Muffit had trapped the mouse in the bag and then brought it to me! I didn’t know what to do with this mouse so I zipped up the container. Muffit seemed to want to chase it more but I didn’t want the poor mouse to get hurt.

So I put it outside in the back yard… along with another little baby mouse that had showed up. He was a slow baby mouse (though had all his fur). So I put them both outside and they were immediately pounced on by dogs that were outside!

I looked out back and there were about 18 big dogs out there of all shapes, mostly bigger dogs! I was so upset! Turns out that people figured out I did dog rescue and were dumping their unwanted dogs in my back yard. Ugh!

I do dog rescue in real life.. well, I used to. I’m stopping because I’m overwhelmed and our house is full. Anyway… this was an interesting dream. Not really bad. Not really good. Just interesting!

I had two dreams last night… the first one I was at dog camp with a friend of mine who has a couple border collies and does agility. What I remember now is that one of her dogs, Ryddick, got out and we couldn’t find him. Well the shelter people picked him up.. it was more a dog recovery program at camp (it was dog camp) and they waited for 20 minutes and when they didn’t find his person, they euthanized him! I was so upset. My friend, though, she wasn’t too upset LOL. It was weird.

My next dream was that I went on a cruise (I’m going in October, my first cruise) and it was a dog cruise and I had Levi and Chase with me. And the boat was small and packed, our cabin underneath was very cramped. But I was able to watch out the window at all the rocks that we zoomed by as we left the birth. We went so fast I was worried, but the pilot seemed to be able to manage just fine. The rocks in the water were huge.

When we got out to open water I ventured on deck and let Levi and Chase do what they want.. and they went off on their own. The boat was really small, then, and I was sitting in the back and getting covered in snow, we were sailing past ice bergs and it was cold. Then Chase came and found me and suddenly I was really worried that Levi had fallen overboard, as I couldn’t find him. I looked and looked and then I woke up and I was glad my dreams were over for the night.

And my neck is still just kinked and cracking, maybe I need a posture corrector to fix myself up. When I sleep I am so tense, and I clench my teeth, and I wake up so tense sometimes. But then I’m having PMS too now which makes me even more tense.

Me and the boys had a good agility day, too, which was fun. I hope I sleep well tonight!

Last night I dreamed that I was with a friend who does agility, and her two German Shepherds were there. I saw her yesterday at the agility trial. I don’t remember too much now… as is typical, but it seems like her dogs were wild and running amok and I was trying to convince her that she needed to keep them under control.

This is weird because her dogs are very friendly and well mannered. Of course they love to run too when we go to the park or walking trail and they have a great time.

Fortunately I didn’t dream of Lucy having cancer, which she most likely has. I hope those dreams don’t come to haunt me anytime soon.

memory is such a strange thing and I do wish I could remember my dreams better. I do remember a lot, though, more than most I think!

Hmm.. some memories from last night.. I was camping, and trying to take a couple of the dogs for a walk. Lucy and Levi, I think.. oh wait, maybe not.. Tatum and Tony? Now I don’t remember. But one of them got off leash and I panicked, so it must have been Tatum.

But it was nice and green and wet, which was okay, because it was better than the winter cold here!

I hope I don’t have bad dreams the next while.. we think Lucy, our 8 year old collie girl, might have cancer. And that is just breaking my heart. If this blog is slow to update, that is why.
