Dreams Circa 1996-1997

These are verbatim journal entries from a dream diary I kept during middle school.

January 14, 1996
Tonight, I am writing about a dream I had a couple of days ago. In fact, it was a nightmare! Over the holiday, I had been watching a show called 'Renegade'. In one episode, there was a bad guy named "The Hound". In my dream, B and I were in a car driving down the highway. All of a sudden we heard gunshots because The Hound was behind us shooting at us. We ducked and turned into an old movie theater. When we went inside, we took our seats and tried to act normal so he wouldn't see us. After awhile we figured he had gone, and I went up to get some popcorn at the concession stand. On my way back into the movie, there was a table checking tickets. Seated at the table was a lady and DD. D asked if she could braid my hair, and I said "Sure if you come sit down near us. I don't want to miss the movie". Just then, I heard The Hound's voice say 'Hi Carin' so I turned and by mistake slapped the lady sitting at the table. She said it was okay, but then I looked into the storage area and saw The Hound hiding in there. I screamed and he chased us out to the car. The I woke up.

August 8, 1996
It was the first day of school, but we had all slept over the Kowles' house so we were running all over getting ready. We had brought Holly the cat, so I had to go out in the rain to a cubby to get her. Then Mom asked what we were wearing and I couldn't find the sweatshirt that I wanted. Then Julia looked out the back door and said "There's my homeroom!" I asked her who her teacher was and she said they got to choose. I told her to choose Mr. Bushnell - then Mr. Bushnell peeked his head in the door and said "What?". He thought we were calling him! Finally, we walked outside (no rain) and there was this fortune teller lady who steals. So if you sat close to her, she would pick-pocket you. She went around telling fortunes for free and soon there was a cluster of people around us. We had missed the bus.

September 30, 1996
I was in a room with Robbie and Dad and we were playing war with nerf arrow guns. Then this family of black kids came in and start playing with us and this lady came over and said she owned the place. So she gave Dad extra nerf targets and that was it.

October 12, 1996
I was trying to see if Robbie was awake. He was laying in a sleeping bag somewhere. I went to look at his face and he woke up and smacked me saying he wanted more sleep. So I left him to watch TV in our spare bedroom. When I was watching, it showed Diana Ross "frolicking" in a bedroom with her lover. (This was because I saw the fake tape of Diana (the Princess) on 20/20 frolicking her lover).

November 30, 1997
Mom took us on a tour of Russia. We saw the 'Imperial Castle', dog poop floating in the water. Robbie felt sick and fainted. He jumped in a car and came to. Then he threw up for real tonight! Crystal, me, and two others were at a camp being threatened by Mr. Feeney to be executed. No one objected so we kept videotaping him and surroundings for evidence. Got home and he told us to always question. Julia said she saw that happen once on 'Saved By The Bell'.

December 30, 1997
I was with Mom, Julia, Robbie and Kyn on a raccoon hunt in Florida. The next part of my dream was I was riding my bike on Old Colony Rd with these two puppet babies who had come alive. Then these police officers started to chase us so I pedaled home and ran up the yard. Then I turned back and waved and they thought I needed something but I didn't.

April 11, 1998
Mom and Julia showed me a tank with slimy fish, snakes, etc. I said that if I stuck my toes in would something bite off my "digits" and Julia said "an Indian".

April 15, 1998
I was in a war game where you split up into teams and attack each other physically. Most often people you don't know. I started off in this old barn standing against the wall and it kept spinning then I started bashing everyone. I remember Tyler Bates getting a nail in his foot. Our team won because we had the most players at the end.

July 18, 1998
Driving. I saw dolls stuck in chunks of ice. We could punch through and pull them out. I found a Daria. When I punched through a little baby boy crawled out from underneath.

January 8, 1999
At Kenan and Kel show with Julia and Audrey. Kel put the spotlight on me as I ran down the aisle. Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr Dre there. Some big old fat black guy took my hand and led me to a balcony.
