Mindgardens Dreams

And it happened last night. The dream seems to be fading quickly so maybe amnesia is more common than we think? I remember this living an entirely different life and only a few people from my current "real life" remained the same, but not until the very end... In this dream, I made new memories, had new friend and family members, different life experiences, maybe even a different way of thinking about things. We had moved a few times so I had memories of several different places of residency. I had become involved in a few romances that probably never lasted. They were almost out of a fairytale book. I believe one of the men I had become involved with was quite similar in appearance to a guy I currently work with, but he definitely was not the same guy. He was definitely sexy though!!!! Tall, thin, long, blonde hair... and had an aura about him that drove me nuts. It was a temporary thing. I remember the last place we moved to.... but I think it was more than one residence. W...

There were several dreams before, but the ones I can remember pick up at the point where I attend this meeting at the UU fellowship/church I'm going to. I remember walking into the room and there are two of my co-workers and their friend, my former supervisor. I sat far away from everyone. Afterwards, I went home and somehow, I must be in my old home in Greenwood. I received a package in the mail and open it up to find some very nice high-quality, textured cards and envelopes. Further inside the box, I find bath soaps or something.... and a note of some sort that has some online screen names a "certain person" used to use and photos of his parents with their names. It was like some sort of card that his guy created as a kid and found, but decided to send to me. I remember showing it to my husband and questioning myself as to whether I should send it back or hang on to it to see what happened next. I was actually pretty irritated that he sent these things at all. Then I re...

I was taking art classes again at my old school, except, it was now here in Greenville. The classes were more for my pleasure than anything and I wasn't getting graded on what I did.... It began with some people who were interested in my artwork and them wanting to display it in their shows. I began to take interest in creating art again and remember working on some sort of life-size figure that must have been some sort of semi-carved collage painting. An instructor I had never met before was there working with me, giving me praise and sometimes suggestions. At some point, one of my former instructors whom I always felt did not like me came in. He was very pessamistic about my work and doubtful about my abilities while the other professor kept telling him to just watch. Near the end, I somehow seemed to prove myself to my old professor and he had begun to give suggestions and praise as well. I finally succeeded in impressing him. This had become a part of my routine apparently as I...

I've been on the road for a while with my son and am in Florida. It seems I'm going through Mascott towards Orlando. I run into my Mom along the way who is now driving a winnebago. We talk for a few about grabbing something to eat and meeting up with the rest of the family but go our separate ways. There was something different about her. I think she was alone.... I remember meeting up with my Grandmother and I think we had lunch and was on my way over to meet with my Dad as I had promised I would. She kept trying to encourage me to spend some more time with her but I was eager to get over to my Dad's. As I'm driving down the road, I look over and see some people driving MY other car. Well, I begin to get frantic because it dawns on me that my father has my son as well. I begin to freak out and start making silent threats that if anything had happened to my son, I would kill them. I call him and he sounds out of sorts as though something weren't right. In the next f...

I remember being a child or with children in the beginning. This dream had so much depth and was ongoing, yet, I have forgotten most of it. The parts that really stick out are my encounters with this young woman. I met her (or maybe I already knew her) at this somewhat ritzy uptown hangout. She had this slutty yet somehow classy appeal to her. Her hair was a dark yellowish blonde color and her lips were full and round. She had a volumptious figure and wore stylishly modest clothes. She had a face that seemed so familiar to me, yet I cannot place where I might have known her previously. We were sitting at a table together chatting. I left and was possibly searching for someone... a man maybe. A little later, I came across a couple making out in the back of a semi-truck and realize that it was her and a guy interest of hers. She wasn't really thrilled about being caught and I went on about my business. I got the feeling she was leaving shortly after as well. I went back to the hangou...

A few nights ago, I began having this dream about having come back from some long imprisonment for having killed a man, yet with all of the memories of having raised my 19 month old son throughout the entire period. I come home to collect what is mine and find that I have, not one, but three beautiful children, two that I had to leave behind. One was a little boy and the other a sweet little girl who looked so much like myself at that age. I wasn't sure I wanted to be that mother of three and I didn't feel as though I even knew the first two, just the son that I have always known, but there was no way in hell I was going to leave my children again. It was like I had met the older two for the first time and had no knowledge at all of their existence until that moment. It seemed as though I were single and had almost noone to turn to, yet here were these strangers who had cared for my babies for me while I was away. They loved my children as though they were their own and didn...

We bought a house as we do in so many of my dreams that resembled a house we lived at in Greenwood. As it always turns out, we weren't happy there so we continued to look. Somehow, we ended up in this single wide trailor (that I was absolutely horrified about). It seemed fairly new and as we stepped in, a huge wind began to blow quickly reminding me one of the reasons I never wanted to live in another trailor again. I'm thinking this is temporary, especially since this home was located right in the middle of a city with a parking lot for a yard and a gas station behind us. I remember walking up to my door one evening and seeing some people rushing into the gas station, one man with a huge automatic weapon in hand. I made a quick dash towards my home and hid at my front door, hoping noone had seen me. I wasn't so lucky. A woman had spotted me, strangely enough, she was mexican, and came after me. I don't know how she caught me but the next thing I knew, she was demanding...

I vaguely remember kissing a certain someone again... wow... it's a trend. Anyway, that dream didn't stick for long. I was with my family (Mom, Brothers, Grandmother and Son) at some car lot it seems. We were friends of this man who had left his really nice car there. Well, we decided he wouldn't mind if we just borrowed his car so we found his keys and started to load up into the car. I quickly realized that maybe that wasn't such a good idea afterall and told everyone we needed to get out of the car. Apparently, this car had some sort of alarm system that detects when the doors are left open for an extended period of time and began a warning signal letting us know it was about to transmit a message to the security company that someone might be stealing the car. My Grandmother was still in the car and had refused to get out stating that it would be fine for us to use it, so I was racing against time to convince her to get out, get the keys back into their compartment a...

I am now living alone with my son in this highrise loft apartment. The neighboring buildings had just caught fire near the top but firemen were able to extinguish the fires before they did any damage. I remember standing on my balcony, watching the flames and seeing all the people huddled together in their windows, watching as well while panicking because they were still in their burning buildings. My son was still a small baby or perhaps I had a new son. I keep thinking my 18 month old was away with my Mom, so I must have had another child. This small life is so precious and I am loving being a mother to him. I put him down to sleep and watch him for a few minutes before leaving the room. Out of the blue, someone I thought I'd never speak to again showed up at my door. Had he given up on his relationship to come see me? No, I think he still wanted to maintain that. He just fell prey to his own weaknesses again. We begin to make love and continue to do so for the entire night. I re...

I'm living once again in the run-down old house we used to live in located in Ware Shoals. It was once a nice little place on 3 acres out in the country and my family had owned it before having lost it to unpaid taxes. I remember trying so hard to save the place, but my credit wasn't good enough to get a loan at the time and I really just didn't know the right avenues to take to do what needed to be done, plus, it would have hampered my goals to move to Greenville to live and work. My memories of this place are mostly unhappy as this is where I spent a good part of my teenage years growing up and if anyone knows me, they'd know those were some of the hardest years of my life. Anyway, the place, as it is in most of my dreams, is being remodeled or is in some sort of livable condition, although there are holes in the floor and walls in the master bedroom and places where the wall was just non-existent. In reality, its ceiling was falling in and rain was always pouring int...

We finally make a new move into a new house. My husband and family aren't the people I know outside of my dream world. In fact, my mother-in-law turns out to be a mysteriously evil witch who has her house connected to ours but I don't discover this until later. The house is huge, built of fancy, red brick stones with big finely carved glass windows. Every surrounding house in the neighborhood has an enchanting look about them. The lawns are perfectly manicured and all of the yards beautifully landscaped with luscious green grass, huge, towering oaks, and a variety of other magnificent trees such as elms and weeping willows. It is like a scene from a fairy tale. The steps at the front of the house are made of brick with a grand entrance but the steps to the side entrance where most family members might prefer to enter the house were made quite differently, obviously more for exquisite beauty and annoyance than anything else. They were these very oddly shaped tree branches cut to...

I'm in some sort of funpark adventure where there is this pool of water that does these odd waves that people come to ride. There is a bank on the other side that people get out at and make their way back to where they started. For some reason, I am not interested in going back to where I started. Instead, I climb over the fence in search of something beyond. I have Jonathan with me and it is a struggle to get the both of us across. He is older and not the baby he is now. Next I remember being in my house, but it wasn't the same house. It was a strange house yet I knew it was mine. We're in the midst of a huge thunderstorm and the rain somehow buckled the side of one of my walls like paper does when it gets wet. I'm worried and concerned about how we'd ever be able to sell this place and get out if there is such massive damage done. There are people with me, I suppose they are family, but nobody I know. Before I know it, I'm off in an old-style car with a famil...

I vaguely remember chatting on the computer again with an old "friend" and wondering why we were talking again but the dream was fleeting and gave way to more adventurous ones. My former manager was having a party in her honor and I was invited. It was the most amazing place! There were many levels and it was so artistic with inside rivers and fountains and such beautiful lighting. The place was so huge and there were so many people there. I remember there being mazes of rivers that you could float down and that's what we did. I was constantly trying to find her and when I finally did, we had a wonderful talk, but I don't remember what we talked about. I just know it was very heart felt and pleasant. She had been busy enjoying her retirement. I remember preparing to take another trip to Florida, except, this time I was living at my parents house and somehow, their home was nothing like I had ever remembered. I wasn't married and not a mother or at least it seemed ...

I'm in an upstairs room surrounded by people, many whom I know well. One of my good guy friends comes up to me and makes a very hurtful comment about my weight and laughs. His wife is shocked and we exchange confused glaces at each other. He is obviously intoxicated and had too much to drink but I am insulted and hurt so I tell him off and rush out of the room and down the stairs. I find myself in another room even more crowded than the last. Everyone is dancing around me and having a great time. I soon forget the hurt feelings I had but in the back of my mind is a reminder that I should watch what I eat. Next thing I know, I have a yummy box of valentine chocolates in my hand. They are so irresistable that I begin eating them. They taste soooo good. No! I can't have them so I start offering everone a piece until they are gone. Shortly after, I head outside where I see this huge play set with slides and swings and all kinds of fun tunnels and such. It must have been as large as...

I don't remember how I got here or why I was here or why it was even important for me to stay, but I ended up at these odd underground pod camps. Inside these pods was enough room for two or three cots and a little elbow room to move around. The door was circular shaped and depending on the pod, opened from different directions. Some opened from a side angle and some would open from the very top and you would drop into the pod. I was urged by this girl to this one particular pod that was at the very end, further out in the woods. It was the only top opening pod I went to. She kept saying the person I was looking for was in this pod. She opened it herself as she really did seem to believe that I would find what I was searching for, however, all that was there were human bones. Who I was searching for was alive and surely she was mistaken. I was supposed to stay at that camp overnight, but there was no way I would stay in that pod with human remains. Frustrated and unsure where I was...

I wanted to start this blog specifically to write about my dreams, because I rarely ever remember them when I awaken, and when I do, they're very quickly forgotten and I rarely ever think of them again. Last night, when an old friend was over, I fell asleep on the couch, unable to stay awake to visit any longer. I had some alcohol and was already pretty tired, so crashing was inevitable. I woke up about an hour or so later with a horrible chill running through my body. I felt as if death were ready to claim me. I immediately ran to the bathroom and ran hot water, hoping to ease the chill. I began to fall asleep again, so I got out. The chill never completely went away. In fact, every single time I woke up that night after heading to my bed, I was drenched in sweat and if I so much as moved a muscle, another chill would coarse through my body. If I stayed completely still, I seemed to be okay, just hot and sweaty. I was really hot too... it was one of the wierdest feelings I've ...
