August 30th, 2011

So some evil guy had kidnapped my mom, and they were across the street in the yard next to the mailboxes and the trees. The evil guy told my mom he would let her go, but only if she shot me. So she started shooting at me but missing on purpose, and so I ran away to my neighbor Fred's house and hid in the basement. Then my mom escaped and the evil guy got into the back of an ice cream truck that apparently was jail. Then he escaped and got a bunch of evil people to come get us and they surrounded the house and it was scary and then I woke up because I was scared. And then when I woke up and I was half asleep and my half asleep self thought these words: why are you awake right now? what is going on? self, go back to sleep. That's what I thought to myself. Apparently I refer to myself as self now.

August 16th- Obama and Tacos

So first, it was the tenth anniversary of the 35W bridge collapse, and a reporter was on the new bridge, reporting and crying. Then he was being lowered down to the river on a little crane thingy, so he could, I dunno, report down there or something? Anyway there was a boat down there, and apparently there was this elderly couple that needed to be saved. So they saved the old man first, whose name was Pat, and put him on the boat, and then they saved the lady, who was really old and had trouble walking, and her name was Frances. Anyway then it turned out that Obama was on the boat, and so was I, and Obama was my dad. We went ashore, where there were lots of people waiting, and when we got there they all clapped, either because we had saved the people or because Obama was there. So then me and Obama and my mom and my sister (who wasn't Lydia, it was actually Sasha, Obama's youngest daughter) went on this platform, and Obama started giving a speech. Then when he was done, a plane landed in the water, that was crashing, which apparently we were all waiting for. It was a small plane, like a private jet, and the people inside just got out and swam the few feet to shore and got out and everyone was happy because they were 'saved'. Then everyone was just milling around, because it was this reception thing with refreshments and such. There was this guy standing far away from me, and it looked like he was wearing a Chan letter jacket, except instead of a C it was a T, and also Katie Grubisch was standing next to him wearing a letter jacket with no letter at all. So I go up to the guy, and I'm like, how come your jacket has a T? And when I get closer I see that it's not actually a Chan jacket at all. The guy's like, Because it stands for Texas Taco Academy, home of the Fighting Nachos. And he turns around to show me their logo, which is a fighting nacho mascot. Then he asks why I'm wondering, and I say that his jacket looks a lot like our school's jackets, and so I thought, from far away, that he went to my school. Then Katie says that she has a letter, she just has to go home and attach it. Then the dream was over.

August 15th and 13th

First I was at Kaden's at it was winter and really snowy outside, and Kaden's mom came up to me and she's like, Raisa, your clothes are washed, I put them on Kaden's bed for you to take home. And I'm like, uh, why are my clothes here..I'm pretty sure they're not my clothes. And it turns out that they were Kayliann's friend Mailee's, because apparently her and Kaden had a thing. I looked at Kaden like, wtf dude, she's an eighth grader, and he just kinda shrugged and was like, whatever. Then I was with Lydia and Ali, and I was holding Ali's hand and he was holding Lydia's hand and we were running across this old crumbling bridge to get to the Hogwarts Express, and we finally got to it, and it was just a couple of the train cars and the engine sitting in the grass in front of some trees, on display. And outside it there were Hogwarts people, and they were divided up into their houses and each house was having some kind of meeting. Then we were at Pizzaioli and I was with all of my relatives and we were celebrating my aunt and uncles birthday there, because apparently they have the same birthday? And this is where it gets really weird. So, since I wasn't working, there were two other guys working there that I had never seen before, and they were both Mexican, one was shortish and stout like Mario, and the other was really tall and skinny and pretty young and had a beard. I kept going back to the kitchen to see if they or Mamun needed any help, because I felt bad because they just kept bringing all these pizzas out, but Mamun said he was fine and I could go back with my family. But I had to keep making sure everybody got their food and stuff, so I didn't really get a chance to eat. Finally I did, and I got a lot of cheesebread and also a piece of the Chicken Alfredo pizza. Then if was basically closing time, so they were turning off the lights to the buffet table which is where they had the food, and they were going to start throwing all the pizzas away even though we weren't really done. So they said that they were all gonna leave since their shifts were over, but if I wanted to stay I could just clean up and lock up when I was done. They also warned me to make sure I locked everything well, and not to turn off all the lights until I left, because there were these vicious creatures that came out at night around here, and they would attack me if I wasn't careful. So I told my relatives to just bring home whatever pizzas they wanted, but they had to use plates and not boxes because we were going to run out of boxes. Anyway then they pretty much all left, and I had to clean up, but my cousins were still there. So I went into the kitchen to start cleaning up there, and my cousins decide to just make a cheesebread, but of course they don't know what they're doing. So they put it in the oven, which I'm supposed to turn off. I tried to pull it back, but for some reason the force of the conveyor belt was way too strong, so I couldn't. Then the cheesebread for some reason was pulled up to the top of the oven, and it caught on fire, and so I yanked it off and threw it in the sink and put water on it, but it was a grease fire so I couldn't put it out, so I just waited for it to burn out. Then I kicked my cousins out because they were causing many problems. Then I heard howling and scary noises outside, and I knew it was the creatures so I had to hurry. I quickly cleaned everything up and then turned off the oven, which made it get a lot darker. Then I turned off the lights, but realized too late that that made it completely dark. I quickly jumped over the counter (I don't know why I didn't just go out the door), and ran outside and locked the door behind me. Then I woke up.


So, the night before we went shopping, this is what happened. I was talking to Matt and Chad and Kaden, and telling them what the plan was for shopping. Then I realized I had just accidently invited them when I really didn't want them to go. So I just kinda left them, and went into my room to start getting ready. As I was straightening my hair, I felt like something was weird about the quality in which I was seeing things, and then I realized it was a dream and I hadn't actually woken up and wasn't going shopping yet. Then I woke up and got ready for real.

the past few nights.

the first dream i was in the parking lot outside the applebee's at ridgedale with my dad, and there was some evil guy trying to get in the car, and my dad thought he was just a dude so he was letting him in but then i was like no don't do it he's evil. that's all i remember.

next dream. it was the first day of school and there was some kind of party going on. so we got there, and i saw dan and he was wearing his argyle sweater with the stripes on the back, and there was this giant bounce house that was fifty feet high and the whole school was gathered around it, and then jennifer majerus who actually goes to chaska but was in my drivers ed class  was on this floaty on the top of the bounce house and she jumped off and didn't die, so everybody was cheering. then we went to go eat lunch, and all of a sudden the school was like my house, so we were gonna eat in the living room which looked like the cafeteria, but there were too many people, so then we went into my parents' room and there were only a few people in there, like one other group, and we decided to eat there, and i realized the other group was dan and his friends so it was awkward.

dream number three. i was at the airport with matt chad travis and kaden, and matt and travis were evil, so me and chad and kaden had to run away, so we got in this helicopter, but while we were in the air it started crashing, so i was like, 'find a lake so that we can jump into it when we crash' but we ended up crashing into a pool. so then us three were swimming in the pool when we saw matt with his dad and we had to hide from him, so we went underwater, but kaden didn't see him so he was out of the pool and he had just jumped in when matt saw us, and so he came over and he's like 'you thought you could get away' and then travis came and then i don't remember anything else.

August 5th, 2011

 So it was Easter, even though it was September and the day before school starts, and my cousin Matt was here and he was saying that he was going to go watch a baseball game that was his school, Osseo, against ours. So I said that I wanted to go too, but when I got there it turned out that I had softball practice, and it was everybody in softball on one team. And so actually it was a game, right next to the baseball stadium, and so we could hear cheering from both sides and the baseball dugout was right behind ours, so I turned around and saw Dan, and his hair had gotten really long because I hadn't seen him in awhile. And so since it was everybody on one team, I didn't really get played that much because Coenen mostly just played the varsity people. And then we were playing a team of big huge dudes who apparently played softball, and it was pretty scary, except then we were just playing catch, and I was playing catch with that asian girl who's in softball, and I couldn't throw like at all, and she was getting angry cuz she had to keep chasing the ball, and then I couldn't catch with my left hand anymore, and neither could she and this other girl, so Mr. Coenen told us to come in the next morning and he would teach us how to throw with our left hand and catch with our right, but I didn't want to go in the next morning because it was the first day of school and we got to go in late, you know, and so I wanted to sleep in, but he was like, if you wanna play softball you have to work hard, so I pretty much had no choice and I was angry. Then the dream switched and I was like a tribe member of this tribe in South America in the rainforest or something, and I had just gotten captured and taken away from this dude who apparently was like my love, and then I was a slave in this house with lots of other female slaves. And then it switched to the guy's point of view, and apparently I had escaped or something and I was back in the rainforest, and the evil white people were trying to capture more tribal people including us, and we were in a river and the white people were in a boat and there were rapids and the girl was like struggling and trying not to get captured or drown in the rapids and she started swimming downstream and she kinda disappeared, and then I was the guy for awhile and I was swimming downstream, and the white guys were eventually gone but I had to keep swimming because I knew they were following me, and the river was calm now and it was really really deep turquoise and really pretty and I had to keep swimming to get away even though I was tired, and I could see the river ahead of me and it was really far and long and I saw this bright light floaty thing that apparently was the Holy Ghost (normally I call it the Holy Spirit like everybody else but I guess in the dream I was calling it the Holy Ghost, I dunno) and anyway the Holy Ghost like inspired me to keep swimming, and then the river was like split into small, shallow streams for awhile before they joined up again, and then I was the girl again and I saw the river going uphill (which is impossible, I realize), like really steep uphill, and so I couldn't swim uphill so I got out of the river even though you're supposed to stay in because if the people chasing me have dogs to try to find me, they can't smell my tracks if I'm in water. But anyway I went up the hill on this little rocky path next to the river, and I reached the top and at that point the river curven dramatically downhill into a giant rushing waterfall, but it wasn't like a straight drop waterfall it was more gradual like a hill. I saw these two tribal children,a boy and girl who were brother and sister, the girl was older, and they were like admiring the waterfall, and also next to me there were two of those sledding things that are circular, you know what I'm talking about? And since I was the girl, I saw the guy come to the top of the hill, just before the waterfall (apparently he swam up the hill), and I was all happy that he was okay, and he jumped down and slid down the waterfall, and when he got to the bottom he was totally fine, and laughing. And the kids were all amazed. And so I took one of the sledding things and threw it down to see how fast the water was actually going, and the sled thing got caught in like a mini current and was spiraling around and around, and the guy, who was at the bottom of the river, was like, no it's not as scary as it looks. And so I got the second sled thing and was gonna go down the waterfall on that, but then I woke up right before.

some nights

I've forgotten to write down my dreams for the past couple nights, but the first one involved me being at the mall with Jennifer and her mom and I was gonna cut my hair short and layer it and get a blonde streak but I didn't have enough money for the blonde streak so I decided to get purple instead. The second dream was Justin Bieber talking about how hard it was for him to get famous cuz he had to go through this like boot camp training stuff and give these big macho men BJs and he was telling me about it. Then after that there was an evil guy chasing me through a campground trying to rape me and then he got me and started tying me down and I was really scared but I woke up just before I was about to get raped. Which was good.

July 31st, 2011

So before the majority of the dream, I was somewhere (not sure where), and I got a text from Kaden, and it was a forward, and it was something like 'Do you like me?' And then some options like '1. yes 2. no 3. maybe' you know, like a forward. And so I texted back like 'uhh..wtf..' and then Chad texts back and he's like..'just read your email cuz i sent you like 90 emails and i was like sobbing..just read them'. And I was like ah geez, not again. Anyway then I was just kinda watching, and there was Harry Potter in second year and he had a Horcrux, and he was trying to figure out how to destroy it. He was at his aunt and uncle's house but it really was this apartment but anyway Voldemort couldn't get him, but Voldemort was trying to stop him from destroying it by sending things inside, and he had all his Death Eaters and Bellatrix and they were making it all windy and stormy and Bellatrix was being all crazy and cackling and stuff, and then there were like sprinkles, like the white candy sprinkles you put on ice cream, and it was raining sprinkles inside, and I was like to myself, when's Dobby gonna come?! He has to tell Harry not to go to Hogwarts because the Death Eaters can get him there! And then I woke up.
