you've been starring in my dreams...

I can't decide if I like dreaming or hate it. I mostly like my dreams while I'm asleep, but then when I wake up I miss them so much that it isn't worth it to have them at all. I had some wacky dreams last night, though. The first dream I had was... I dreamed a horror movie. Like, there was a horror movie going on in my head, and I have no idea why. I knew while I was dreaming it that I should be scared, but I woke up and I wasn't scared at all. I don't remember much of it, but if you've ever played the game "Night Trap," the villains kind of looked like the ones from there. The plot wasn't the same, though, from what I recall. And there wasn't an awesome theme song to go with it.

Then I dreamed that I was back in grade school, except classes were being held in a grocery store that I used to go to as a little kid. The only correlation I can see there is that my first grade teacher also worked at that supermarket, but I'm not sure if I dreamed about it for that reason. I knew that I had been there in my dreams before, because it felt so familiar. That happens to me a fair amount; I go to the same place in my dreams, though usually it isn't a place that really exists. It is usually a store, though. I guess I'm in consumer mode even in my dreams...

But usually, my dreams aren't scary-esque or just plain weird. They're usually really, really nice and happy. I think that that should tip me off; if things seem unusually good, then I should know it's time to wake up. I dream about other people a lot, but never in a way that would make sense... I don't usually start dreaming about people until a few years after I last see them or actually spend time with them. And I don't miss them in my dreams, or in real life... we just have fun in my dreams. (A chaste kind of fun, you know.) But in real life, people usually screw me over. And often, the people I dream about are no longer in my life for that reason. I think my dreams would be better if I remembered that and bitch-slapped them. I'll have to try to include that in my next dream.
