Luna Tail

I woke up today feeling pretty good. Rested. I rarely feel rested and I just have to wonder if I get enough sleep. I know that I like to sleep nine hours a night or so… and usually I don’t get that much. Yesterday ended up being a rest day again. I had a couple of things planned and both fell through so I was able to sit home on the couch and rest, nap, and go to bed early.

I got up at 9am yesterday. I napped between about 11 and 1pm, and I went to bed at 9:30pm. I got up this morning at 7am on my own, feeling refreshed and good. Usually I have to drag myself out of bed because I’m still so darn tired it’s hard to get up.

I also ate good yesterday, following the Eat to Live plan.. I ate a lot of veggies, lettuce, green beans, cauliflower, sweet potatoes (good ones!) and fruit.  So maybe that also helped.  I really do want to keep a lot of when I feel good in the mornings so that I can know what it is that makes me feel good, and repeat it all the time! I so much prefer feeling good and refreshed than feeling like I was dragged through a mud puddle!

Today I’m off to do some agility practice with Chase and Tatum and I feel good about doing it!  I have got to figure out what makes me feel good and refreshed!

Man.. what is the deal with me dreaming about a new house so much? I am really not sure but it does happen a lot.

This dream happened on the night of October 10th – October 11th, 2008.

I dreamed that I was going to get on an airplane (I have a lot of airplane dreams too, I think) and when I was standing in line to get on the plane, there was this gorgeous guy in front of me in line. And I noticed that he had really nice legs. But I didn’t want to be a pest so I kinda ignored him and we got on the plane. I ended up sitting near him. I’m not sure if we were on the same row or not. But my girlfriend was there too, Danielle.

Then suddenly Danielle and I were in our new house that we bought together. I was kinda freaked out, wondering why I had bought this house with a girlfriend. It was way out west, but it was a nice house (I live on the east side of Salt Lake City). The house had a four car garage and I was thinking how I could put my husbands car in there, my van, my Outback, and my pop-up trailer. It had a nice fenced in yard. But the fence was chain link and we were worried that the dogs would bark and bark at the neighbors. The yard had four trees in it, too, spaced evenly in the yard. And the yard was kinda weedy so we weren’t able to do dog sports out there but we planned on it.

The whole front yard was gray gravel. And I didn’t like it at all, even though it was xeriscaped. So I got a shovel and started to dig out a portion of the gravel so I could plant a couple bushes or some grass or something. Something more homey.

The guy from the airport was there too, and he still had super nice legs. He was sitting on the couch and I was massaging his legs. And I told him I didn’t want to be too forward, but I really was attracted to him and wanted to get closer. He said he felt the same way and didn’t want to be a pest to me. He had dark hair and dark eyes and was quite gorgeous.

I think there was more… but now I’m not sure. It was an interesting dream, as most of them seem to be!

I’m going to start posting my dreams here instead of on my dream diary, pixietail.com. Mainly because I don’t have the time or energy to keep four blogs going. Just three… I think three will be fine. LOL. So here is my dream from last night…

I dreamed that I was at a dog agility trial… and I had an RV, or was staying in someone’s RV, and it was parked up a very steep slope in a canyon. And yes, the RV was on a tilt so staying in was actually quite difficult. LOL it was probably a 30 degree slope or something. And at the beginning there was a very attractive man there, he has curly blond hair and I wanted to talk to him but I was a bit shy so I didn’t, and then he left.

So I went down to watch the dog agility and I was wondering when I was up in the running order. But the agility was on a big track like a track and field track. And other things were going on too but I didn’t really see what. Then a person took her dog out and she was small and far away, as I was up high on the bleachers. And she ran a bit and her dog did a few obstacles, but then she just took off running as fast as she could and the dog followed her and sped ahead of her. And she had to do that for seven and a half minutes before her run was over. LOL weird.

I kept looking around for the running order and trying to find out what these new rules were but I couldn’t find them anywhere. So I went back to the RV that was still on a slant and kinda forgot about the dog sports.

I started looking for some jewelry I’d hidden earlier that was very important and maybe mystical. Oh and weird now I remember that I was reading a book that was what the Harry Potter books had been based on. So they were similar but different and it was disturbing me (dang this dream just keeps going on and on). There were tunnels and magic but Harry was different and so were the other characters. Hrm..

Anyway so back in the RV I see the guy again that has blond curly hair but he’s a bit different, and I realize he’s not the same guy, he’s not quite as attractive as the other had been. So he starts to talk to me and tells me it was his brother I had seen earlier (I wonder if I got this from seeing pictures of Tatum’s sister yesterday?). The names of the brothers were Tristan and Mannny (or Mandadin or something) and the one I was talking to was, I think, Tristan but I’m not sure. Anyway he told me his brother was a bit nasty and was wanting me to want him more, and was up in the balcony watching us. So I looked up and sure enough there he was, but he was angry that Tristan was coming on to me now.

Tristan was gorgeous and hot and so we started flirting and then he drew me to the top of the crooked RV and we slide the shade closed and he made his move on me and it was quite wonderful. He was much nicer than his brother, he was genuine where his brother just wanted to score. So I was very grateful that he had come down and was interested in me and stopped his brother from getting to me first.

That was when I woke up. LOL what a fun dream that was. Lots of things in it. I do love to dream it is quite fun!

Actually.. I was in a meeting with the boss, fortunately the boss didn’t call me into her office for a meeting! In my dream my boss and I were at some sort of meeting, or conference, and it was rather boring. I was asking her if it would be okay if I brought my knitting and knitted during the meeting. She didn’t care (she wouldn’t in real life either) but she pointed to the assistant director and kinda implied I should ask her. I didn’t want to though!

I also remember walking around a school like campus looking for this work meeting… I’m not sure if that was before or after the above portion of the dream. I needed travel insurance also, for getting around the campus. I was watching my phone or something, texting maybe, and ended up following an asian woman in the wrong direction. But I caught myself and went the right way again.

It was a short dream, as my dreams go. But I do remember it!

Hrm… I had my nails done last night, in real life… and the lady who did them sells clothing too. Very nice clothes though I forgot the brand. I hope I can buy some from her.

So last night I had a shopping dream. I dreamed I went to the mall and went shopping… though I think maybe it started from dog camp again? Not sure… it kinda was a dorm like room with clothes around. And I loved this little red outfit that was kinda a nighty, but kinda something I could wear out too? It was a short red skirt, a red blouse, and a white undertop. It looked really cute. I kept wondering if it was age appropriate for me, though. I’m 41 and it really seemed like it should have been worn by a 20 year old.

But I bought it anyway.. and I had a ton of stuff littered around the table I was using. I had to get my dolly out of the van and pack the stuff in boxes and it kept falling all over the place and crumbling. And then I found a used pad (yeah for like periods) and I wondered if the girl who was helping me had changed my underwear for me and I didn’t know? Ewww that was really weird.

The lady helping me was super nice, even though she wasn’t supposed to help me, her job was something else. I thought she was cute too, maybe she was a South Carolina injury lawyer instead of a saleswoman. But she convinced me that the red outfit was fine with someone my age and I could go out and wear it!

Toward the end I had my junk boxed up and on the dolly and I had the clothes packages in a little plastic container, and I didn’t think I could afford it but I’d try anyway… and everyone had left the store except me, being a clutz, but I woke up before I actually bought the clothes.

As I was loading the dish washer the other day.. my husband there with me, kinda helping, kinda overseeing, I just had to laugh and think. I wasn’t doing it quite the way he thought it should be done. And granted, I’m not the best dishwasher loader in the world. I stack stuff together too much and sometimes it doesn’t get as clean as maybe it could.

But he was getting a little upset and I had to stand back and think that getting upset about the dishwasher being loaded is a little pointless. So I joked with him about it… and I think this is one of the reasons we get along so well. Both of us hate confrontation, we hate to fight, and we don’t like feeling angry. And so we usually let the little stuff, like how we load the dishwasher, just blow on by and we don’t worry about it.

When I’m out and about with friends and their spouses, I am sometimes surprised at the things they fight about. Really… maybe it’s time to just stop, look at what you are fighting about, let go of your ego and your desire to be ‘right’ or to get in the last word, laugh about it, appreciate your significant other, and be happy.

I heard, once, someone say.. what do you want to be, right, or married? Well, I’d rather be happy and so what if the dish washer isn’t loaded just so… or there is dog pee on the floor, or Tatum wants to ‘help’ prep the spare bedroom for painting and in doing so likes to chew up the sand paper? (Dang her toenails are too long.) I’d rather not worry about it. I want my dogs, my husband, and myself, to be happy. So as they say, don’t worry, be happy!

Ooo weird. I had a few dreams last night, I only really remember the most recent one. I was going on a cruise (I am in real life in October). And my and the man I was with (I don’t know him in real life) had three dogs with us and a lot of luggage. We were staying in a hotel for the first night before we went on the cruise, and the next day we had to be at the ship in time with all our luggage packed up and ready to go.

The dogs we had were with were two of mine, Chase and Levi, and one of his, a Dachshund, I think it was Keno, my flyball captain’s Dachshund. And I kept carrying her.. and she liked to swim, she swam through a pool… at one point in the dream.

So when it was time to get on the ship we were looking for the boat and the dock, and suddenly we realized we were really late. We found the dock and realized we had to run back to our room to get all our luggage. But then we couldn’t find our room! It was room 219 and we couldn’t find it. We asked a hotel guy and he couldn’t find it either, he had to call the desk and ask what had happened to our room. lol. And there were these weird elevators that practically threw people around. I’ve had dreams of strange scary elevators in the past, too.

Eventually the hotel guy found our room and we just saw our luggage and clothes in the hotel hallway waiting for us. But the hotel guy said we still might be too late. So then this evil vampire guy that we knew from home walked by… we were surprised to see him, he was all in black and his face was black, like Darth Mal but black, and I asked him if he would help us get our room on the ship. As they were going to assign it to someone else since we were so late.

He agreed, but only if he could sleep with me… but not really me, an asian woman who would take on the persona of me. And I said yes, and it was creepy watching him, in my dream, as he convinced this woman to take on my features and sleep with him a couple of times while he was on the ship, too.

I woke up before I knew if we made it onto the ship or not, or if there was an air purifier in the room like I’d requested. But it was a long detailed dream for sure.

Another dream I had earlier I only remember bits and pieces of. I was at dog camp again, and my ex wanted to meet me and make up with me, and begged my forgiveness. I’ve been reading the Twilight series of books and I think this is where this, and the vampire, came from. I wanted to see what he had to say so I met a woman and she offered to drive me to the university campus, where he was. But we got lost and didn’t know where the building was, and so I had to call him but he didn’t really know where we were either.

I think there was more to that dream but now I don’t remember much. It happened earlier in the night.

Last night I had a couple of dreams… one was about shoes. I couldn’t find my shoes, or they were mired in some sort of mud or something. Maybe because Tatum (my smooth collie) likes to pull the lining out of my slippers. She is goofy that way.

DANG dreams are elusive. Why are they so elusive? It bugs me, because the memory has faded quite a bit now. I remember a room with long tables, like a school room, from when I was in high school. And getting stuck. OH and I remember I dreamed that I’d slept with my rigid contacts in. And when I woke up (in my dream) my eyes were all sticky and I could hardly open them, and it was hard to get my contacts out.

I also dreamed about my ex again, but now I don’t remember much about that dream. Fortunately.

I like to dream, but writing about them causes me anxiety still. Not sure why. I’m just odd that way. Maybe I should have a glass of wine.. but then maybe I’d need alcohol rehab if I drank too much. Though a drug treatment center might come in handy if I got carried away… which I don’t plan on doing!

I’m hungry, time for dinner for me and the dogs.

I swear I dreamed a lot last night. Every time I was waking up, I was coming out of a different dream. I only really remember one, though. I have put a pad of paper by my bed, and I need a pen to join it, so I can write dreams down as I wake up.

I dreamed that my husband and I were driving to a park.. and it was night, maybe 1am or so. The car we were in was tiny, and kinda made of a plastic mesh so wasn’t very secure. We had four dogs with us, one of them was Hudson, one of the collies we got from Houston last year in September. And my husband let him out, and the others, and I got so mad and paniced because I was afraid he would not come back.

Our other dogs came back just fine… oh, and there was a flying fish crossing the road! LOL I remember it, moving along like a snake, and my husband wanted to go see it so we backed up and parked and saw it in the stream on the right side of the road. Strange stuff. He wanted to catch it for dinner and I said no way, keep the poor thing alive!

LOL strange dreams. Maybe I’ll dream of a new car, as I want one.. a minivan. And I can get an auto insurance quote online to see how much I’d need to pay for it! But I’m not sure I can afford a payment right now. Bleh.

I’ve been in Idaho Falls without a power cable for my laptop and so haven’t been able to get online until now. And, of course, I did have some dreams that were quite interesting. One was that I was living in my old house and someone let all six of my dogs out. And Angel and Tatum were frightened and weren’t coming back, so a kid on a bike herded them toward the house. And this was like 2am… the dream was set at about that time.

I had another long story dream but now I can’t remember it much… I’m tired today, so maybe it’ll come back to me tomorrow. Now I’m watching my HTDV and if I had a flat panel mount I could stick it on the wall, but alas, I don’t, and so I have to go to bed without a TV in my bedroom and just go to sleep. Which would be better anyway!
