Mon. March 7
I had a dream that there were these 3-foot clawed green monsters that kept coming out of our fridge to attack me and my parents. Lexi was strangely absent, but that's not as strange as the fact that my "mom and dad" looked nothing at all like my real mom and dad. I didn't realize this until I woke up. Anyway, we have a fridge in the garage and one in the kitchen, so these monsters would come out of the one in the kitchen, and we'd run to the garage, so the monsters would come out of that fridge. And so we'd turn around (the monsters chasing us previously were now gone) and run to the kitchen. And repeat, repeat, repeat.
Meaning
A monster represents attributes of myself that I may find undesirable. So does many monsters mean that I have many flaws? I believe, since all the monsters were identical, that they're simply many manifestations of one flaw. And chase dreams represent the anxiety in my life, and my actions in the dream parallel how I would deal with my problems while I'm awake. The refrigerator that the monsters came out of signifies that what I have been unconsciously seeking, I have found. A nice little denouement to this dream project, I think.
Museums and Dune Buggies
Fri. March 4
This dream was pretty simple, compared to the night before. I was at a museum looking at a painting with somebody (I don't remember who) when they suggested that we go ride dune buggies. So we're riding them on some sand dunes when I catch some air and go nearly straight up, very high, and then begin falling. Then I woke up.
Meaning
A painting represents my need for creativity, and a vehicle symbolizes the amount of control I feel like I have in my life. Seeing as mine was a dune buggy, that suggests very little. Sand signifies a shift in my attitude. And the classic falling theme in a dream again symbolizes a lack of control, which is seeming to be a common theme in my dreams. And according to Freud, it means that I'm contemplating giving in to a sexual desire.

A Bizarre Convention
Thu. March 3
I swear, this next dream is not made up. I was at a sort of convention, it seemed, with my theatre friends. We were all dressed very nicely. However, one of my friends, Autumn, resembled a brown version of Gumby with an upside-down face. The way the convention worked was we had a table in a cafetorium with many other tables that held, I'm guessing, many other theatre troupes. Then these huge double doors opened and we all scurried in to attend an event of some sort. I don't remember what any of those events were, but I do remember we'd all then exit and go down this huge ramp, where we were questioned by talking candy about how the event went. Then, at the end of the ramp, my friend Ben sat in a chair, very upset. Me and Autumn, the brown flipped-face Gumby, would go console him. He'd see Autumn, laugh, and come with us back to our table. Then the process would repeat. The only abnormality I noticed while in the dream was that Autumn's face was upside-down. The rest of the dream, including her skin and body shape, was completely normal.
Meaning
Let's begin to pick this apart piece by confusing piece. Seeing as the ramp was a part of the cafetorium, and I didn't remember what lay beyond those double doors, then the whole dream, essentially, takes place in a cafeteria. A cafeteria denotes that there may be a lot of issues "eating" me up inside. The nice clothing, I believe, is simply because at every convention I've been to, we've worn nice clothing at some point there. As for Autumn: the color brown denotes worldliness, practicality, and domestic bliss, and to see someone else as a cartoon character means that I'm not taking them seriously. And as for the upside-down face, which I noticed was strange: to notice something abnormal in a dream means that something feels out of line in my life. To dream that I'm going down a ramp refers to a lack of control in my life. Candy represents the joy in life. The part with Ben doesn't surprise me, for he had been upset the day before, and I cheered him up. And for something to be repeated in a dream (in this case, the entire dream) means that there is some message that I need to ingrain in my mind.
An Argument
Tues. March 1
I had a dream that my mom was upset with me about one thing or another, and I wanted to go to some party. My mom said that if I wanted to go, I'd have to get on her good side first. So later at dinner (which was muffins, by the way), I started to get in an argument with Lexi. But then I remembered that I had to get on Mom's good side. So I let Lexi have her way. Realizing this, Lexi continued to provoke me all throughout dinner, but I didn't take the bait. And later that night, Mom let me go to the party.
Meaning
This dream didn't surprise me much. Me and my mom had gotten into an argument the previous day, and while I can't remember what the argument was about in my dream, I'm sure it was representative of the argument I had had the day before. And as for having muffins for dinner, dreaming of eating muffins shows my taste for expensive things in life. Makes sense, seeing as me and my mother had been arguing about money.

A Beautiful Resort
Sat. February 26
I had a dream that me and my family were at a beautiful resort. The greens were GREEN and the water was BLUE. They weren't serving breakfast yet (which, in retrospect, was strange, because outside it was very bright and everyone was awake), so we went outside and got in the pool (which was also very beautiful). My mom started telling somebody in the pool that originally, she was going on a cruise by herself. But as the boat pulled away, she saw us waving goodbye and jumped off the boat and swam to shore, and we all vacationed together. Then I woke up.
Meaning
Dreaming about being on vacation indicates one of two things, or perhaps both. It means that I need to recharge, to break out of my usual routine and try something new. It can also mean that I'm patting myself on the back for all my hard work, saying that I deserve a reward. In this case, I believe it's both. I'd had a long week, got a lot accomplished. And now it was Saturday, time to get out of that weekly drag and have some fun.
