Dream Log 2015

This is just a catalog of dreams I remember when I wake up. Ann-Kristin calls the dreams where I am feeling stressed because of a need to do something difficult "challenge dreams".

I was suddenly in a theater being given tryouts for some scenes. The director wanted me to. E at least a placeholder in a nude scene where I would sit in a bathtub. Then all of the sudden we were performing a different play live where I was in a chair with others and we were reading some old German poems or fairy tales. However we realized as the play started that my book was either just wrong or marked wrong, and furthermore I had never seen this stuff before. An older guy sitting next to me left he stage during he performance to tell the director who was in the crowd and she gave me a dirty look. As this was happening, I started to realize that maybe I was supposed to act in the bathtub scene in front of an audience. That's when I woke up.

Dani and I had jobs at JKU but it was now some sort of legal enterprise and we were following all sorts of data retention laws. Dani was trying to get a new printer even though she has one down the hall already. I remember thinking it was weird because she already has one. Somehow in our job, we were producing these bright red crabs which also end to be retained. I grabbed one off some sort of printer roll of calculator tape. Then I studied the crab. Also someone else, maybe Dani, had bright red acrylic nails, which was the same color as the crabs.

December 8, 2015

Someone I knew had over active such that it made them very clever and have special abilities. But it also have them gangrene. I used some sort of device to stop the gangrene in the ankle but the foot would need to be amputated. They were doing various mental tests to see how clever the person was. There was a sense we were taking advantage of the persons situation to gain something.

December 4, 2015

Very hazy. But if was very late for something. There was a sense that when I do something that I use all employees but also that I wanted to use some expertise of certain people. If I used the general population for things they would perceive it as not real work. But this weird work was necessary to accomplish the goal.

December 3, 2015

Again I was at the Del Monte house. There was some sort of gathering of friends. Urška and Chrisi Auer where there. My bedroom was from the time that I had bunk beds. When it was time to go to sleep, Chrisi and Urška decided to sleep above me in the top bunk. However, rather than sleeping, they were messing around and making considerable noise. This was not at all an erotic dream. I was simply irritated because I wanted to go to sleep. So I got up and was leaving the bedroom. One of them asked me if I was bothered by them. I lied and said no but then left. I walked down to the office, which for some reason had a toilet. The house had become dark and foreboding at that point. I went to use this toilet in the office, but while I was standing there, some sort of invisible person/ghost grabbed my genitals and started pulling really hard, so much so that it was painful. I started yelling, and that is when I woke up to Anne telling me it was okay and that I had just been dreaming.

December 2, 2015

We were at the Del Monte house. This raccoon was terrorizing the house but not viciously. He just would not leave. He was following me around. I was shooting a BB gun at him but missing on purpose because I just wanted to scare him. He was unfazed and just looked at me. I had this fear the whole time though that he would freak out and scratch me up. Then my mom was there. The raccoon had fallen asleep on an ironing board. I pointed him out to my mom and we discussed me luring him outside with food and then she would shut the door. I stood in the patio doorway imagining how it would work. My mom went right up to the raccoon and started playing with its hair to wake it up like she used to do to me. I started to panic that it would attack her and was trying to tell her to stop. I woke up saying out loud for her to stop. I think this is not the first time I've dreamed of raccoons and a fear of them scratching me, as it felt so familiar.

I told Anne about it this morning and mentioned jokingly that the raccoon represented Obamacare. She said that Obama might secretly be a raccoon who is Muslim but is passing for human quasi-Christian American.

November 30, 2015

I was outdoors some place and I was ordering an elephant steak to eat. Once I had chosen what cut to eat, I could see the main farmer and an assistant out wrangling an elephant. They were preparing to either harvest it's meat while it was alive or kill it. Everything was drawn out. There were a number of false starts where it seemed like something was going to happen. I had a lot of anxiety about seeing it be killed. Finally they started hitting it on the head with something while also bulldogging it. At some point it was partially restrained with rope and had a bag over its head. Them I was right there and they were saying I should be careful as this is when an elephant is at it's most dangerous. Somehow then I found myself in a yard hiding from superman. Due to something about HOW I was hiding, he could not find me. Then I woke up.

November 29, 2015

I was in my apartment on Starhembergstraße. Coach Malowitz and Coach Nolan were there with Patrick from that first year at Lamar in which I was "on the team". They were lecturing Patrick about his behavior and what potential he had before warning that he would be kicked off the team for further problematic behavior. This is a conversation that did actually happen, as I remember. Anyway, Coach Malowitz was dressed as a pirate, and all of the sudden we were in an Streetcar or Bus and he was still in that outfit. Someone asked him in German if he was in some famous musical (it was not a real musical, just an invention of the dream). He was caught off-guard but then lied and said 'yes'. The lady asked him to recite some lines from the show. He could not speak German. I could, and I had a copy of the script, so I started feeding him lines which he then repeated. Somoehow, he woman did not notice that I was doing this and seemed impressed with his lines. That's when I woke up.

November 26, 2015

I dozed in the morning while Anne was getting ready. I dreamed of Zach Galafanakis, Rebecka Mark, and Mabel and Moe from Men on a Mission. We were in a house, and there as a sense that I was being somewhat against my will by Zach. He wanted to show me a room in the house which was dark, menacing, and scary. I had a feeling that he meant to do something bad in there. In the dream, my feelings of danger came fromt he fact that he had killed Mabel rather than a heart attack. All of the sudden, though, it was morning and very bright. The room was no longer scary, and it was revealed that in an adjacent room, Rebecka Mark was having breakfast, and I was to join her. Somehow that made everything okay. Anne was also there, and Rebecka was speaking with her in German.

November 21-22, 2015

Early in the night, I had a dream about a Ritz values and Ron Morgan. We were having some sort of conversation about them.

In the morning around 4:00, I awoke from a really odd dream. I was at some sort of conference and an albino couple really liked a frosted glass table/desk I apparently owned and kept coming by my office to ask about it and see the brand. I bumped into a Latino couple outside the conference venue and they acted like they knew me and asked me to breakfast on Thursday. Then I was talking to George Clooney and he was telling me he understood how I felt (about what?) and about how his girlfriend Lynn dumped him because he was too embarrassed about what cultural elements she wanted to include in their wedding because her wedding was an expression of herself. He said he could understand how she felt and didn't seem too upset. Even in my dreams, George Clooney is a smooth customer.

October 27, 2015

I was attending a party where I needed to wear a nice suit outfit. I was really upset and melting down trying to make a decision. Also a girl I did not like at Uni was there antagonizing me. It was the girl I went on two dates with in the first few months after moving to Linz, the one with too much lipstick. She was claiming I had acted improperly with her and was threatening to tell Ronny.

October 24, 2015

I dreamed about being with Ann-Kristin. We were having some emotional discussion and were crying but in the good way where we were sharing something. I don't remember what, though.

October 7, 2015

I had a crazy dream that I visited New Orleans and was asking all my friends for help finding a cable. Chris Spring had a broken leg for some reason. Jonathan Hobbs gave me a cable but it was older and had a speed limitation.Chris Spring had a faster cable but not on hand (he was in a dirty truck) and I had to leave New Orleans immediately so I could not wait for him. I felt bad not accepting his faster cable, like I was insulting him or his family or something.

October 1, 2015

I keep having weird dreams about my dad, but they are nonspecific, and I do not remember them so well.

September 30, 2015

I had a dream about riding motorcycles. I remember riding too fast and being worried, but I also had some concern about joining a motorcycle gang.

August 23, 2015

I was at Parkbad in the mixed sauna an was there with a bunch I friends an acquaintances, not just from Linz but also from other parts of my life. I had assumed that since we were visiting sauna we would all be naked but then we were in sauna an everyone else was in bathing suits and I was the only naked person. They all seemed okay with it but unfelt out of place. ASIDE FROM ANN-KRISTIN: Maybe you have to travel to China to find your inner, higher self through the Dreams. Like an esoteric sabbatical. I was in China for 2.5 weeks in August.

August 21, 2015

I was working for Dr. Safi at UT Health Science Center. He had gone to work and for some reason, and I had all the patient information on the people on whom he was going to operate today. So I was panicking but my aunt reminded me that he was probably still in meetings so I could catch him and give him the information. So I had to rush to the hospital. However the car I had was a red Ford F450 truck. It's the truck Bronson Parker owned. It's a big truck but in the dream it was even bigger and had a smaller truck in the bed. In fact Bronson and Travis Bryan were there and had bought me the truck as a gift: the problem was the truck would not fit in the parking garage at the hospital. I was panicking and they were telling me not to worry. That's when I woke up...I'm not sure if the patient made it.

August 20, 2015

My dad was in prison and I had to help him escape. It was really risky, and we had to make it through many obstacles. Dream ended without resolution.
