Ooo weird. I had a few dreams last night, I only really remember the most recent one. I was going on a cruise (I am in real life in October). And my and the man I was with (I don’t know him in real life) had three dogs with us and a lot of luggage. We were staying in a hotel for the first night before we went on the cruise, and the next day we had to be at the ship in time with all our luggage packed up and ready to go.

The dogs we had were with were two of mine, Chase and Levi, and one of his, a Dachshund, I think it was Keno, my flyball captain’s Dachshund. And I kept carrying her.. and she liked to swim, she swam through a pool… at one point in the dream.

So when it was time to get on the ship we were looking for the boat and the dock, and suddenly we realized we were really late. We found the dock and realized we had to run back to our room to get all our luggage. But then we couldn’t find our room! It was room 219 and we couldn’t find it. We asked a hotel guy and he couldn’t find it either, he had to call the desk and ask what had happened to our room. lol. And there were these weird elevators that practically threw people around. I’ve had dreams of strange scary elevators in the past, too.

Eventually the hotel guy found our room and we just saw our luggage and clothes in the hotel hallway waiting for us. But the hotel guy said we still might be too late. So then this evil vampire guy that we knew from home walked by… we were surprised to see him, he was all in black and his face was black, like Darth Mal but black, and I asked him if he would help us get our room on the ship. As they were going to assign it to someone else since we were so late.

He agreed, but only if he could sleep with me… but not really me, an asian woman who would take on the persona of me. And I said yes, and it was creepy watching him, in my dream, as he convinced this woman to take on my features and sleep with him a couple of times while he was on the ship, too.

I woke up before I knew if we made it onto the ship or not, or if there was an air purifier in the room like I’d requested. But it was a long detailed dream for sure.

Another dream I had earlier I only remember bits and pieces of. I was at dog camp again, and my ex wanted to meet me and make up with me, and begged my forgiveness. I’ve been reading the Twilight series of books and I think this is where this, and the vampire, came from. I wanted to see what he had to say so I met a woman and she offered to drive me to the university campus, where he was. But we got lost and didn’t know where the building was, and so I had to call him but he didn’t really know where we were either.

I think there was more to that dream but now I don’t remember much. It happened earlier in the night.

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!

Last night I dreamed that we were putting on a play… and I was going to be the Queen. It kinda morphed into a reality TV show, and then it became real. And there were some scandals going on… I kinda remember the dogs being there, I had a companion animal that I was bonded too, or something. Oh and there was a cavalier king charles spaniel that was cowering, his Mom wanted him to go into a pool and he didn’t want to. That’s probably from the hot flyball tournament I was at last weekend.

Just bits and peices of this dream remain, but I remember I had to step up and become a Queen and take charge of things. The King, my husband, wasn’t all that great of a guy and I had to learn how to get along with him and yet still do what I wanted and needed. It was interesting.

I’m tired, last weekend was busy but fun. I went to southern Utah for a flyball tournament. I so want to live in a rural area… build a house, get some nice farmhouse sinks and some property, and not have to work during the week!

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!

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!

This is not, actually, a dream… rather it’s a sleeping position. I seemed to have had a fairly dreamless night last night. I think I did dream something, but when I woke up I didn’t remember it and so I won’t fret about my lack of remembering.

I did wake up sleeping on the edge of the bed… in fact, it was about one foot worth of bed. Okay maybe two, but not more than that. When it’s cold at night (and I like to sleep with it cool) my dogs Lucy and Levi love to press up against me and sleep there all night.

I love the contact and so I don’t move them. However, my legs tended to be asleep when I woke up this morning, which was not fun. And yes, I do sleep quite comfortably in two feet of bed space with the dogs taking up the rest of the Queen sized bed.

Maybe doing some budgeting and planning would help the dogs and I optimize bed space.. but somehow I don’t think so. The dogs like to take what they can, and usually they get away with it.

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!

So yesterday I got the wind about a flyball seminar that’ll be happening in Las Vegas in March. I quickly got my forms together, wrote my check, and sent it off in the mail.

It’s by Touch n Go, one of the best flyball teams in U-FLI in the country. So, I hope to bring Chase and get some good ideas on his box turn and speed.

Anyway, so of course I dreamed about it last night. I didn’t find any online coupons for the seminar in my dream, but I dreamed that it was run absolutely horribly! I am fairly certain it will be run very well and smoothly, so it’s strange about my dream.

I dreamed that we were practicing outside, and there was dog poop in the path the dog took to run to the box. And Chase would stop and sniff it, then mosey to the box with no speed or enthusiasm. I was angry that they left poop in the dog’s lane!

Then we moved inside… and there was a couple of dogs just wandering around, through the lanes, and Chase couldn’t get by them. I was just holding Chase until the dogs left. I was so mad that they let dogs wander around.

And the box loader was awful inside. She put this big huge ball on the wrong side of the box that Chase couldn’t even grab with his mouth it was too big. So finally I put him in a wait, and walked to the box and loaded it myself, then went back and released Chase. He ran beautifully and did a great job! He just needs someone organized!

LOL. Too weird that I was so frustrated with them in my dream.

When I went down to a tournament that they held, it was run very efficiently and well, so my waking belief is that the seminar will be the same.
