Dream Journal (excerpt)


Something startled me and I jumped out of bed and ran into my parents’ room (I was apparently at home). It was night, but the sky was lit with a green glow and several aircrafts hovered above our house. I ran downstairs, realizing that I was alone in their bedroom and wanting to find where my family was.

Sure enough, everyone was glued to our backyard windows. One of the crafts was landing right behind our house. Our backyard is acres of property, but it appeared to shrink as the massive ship touched the ground. This was a stereotypical flying saucer, with complicated designs and lights all around. The other crafts continued to fly, but they were all different shapes.

Nothing else appeared. The ship just sat there lighting up the yard. I said that I had told everyone about this and I woke up with an eerie feeling and the lights from the parking lot shining through my window inside my apartment.

According to 10,000 Dreams Interpreted this meant that I will meet people whom I consider bizarre and strange who will soon become a positive influence in my life. I suppose this could be true entering a new semester, but I have had UFO dreams since I was a child and watched Unsolved Mysteries with my grandparents, who believe in them quite literally. I’d consider this a nightmare.



I was inside a Kmart store that had closed when I was very young. I was hiding in the racks when I saw the aisle clear and made a dash for the door. It was getting dark outside and very cool for a summer night. I hid behind the merry-go-round ride, ducking and watching the door.

Eventually a figure walked out but I couldn’t see the face. I stood up like I had something to say but I notice the person holding a gun. They shot me in the stomach as I turned around to run. I fell and began to crawl away as they shot again with a blast so loud I woke up.

According to 10,000 Dreams Interpreted, to hear a gun is a sign of losing employment or of bad management practices. Getting shot means I will be annoyed by evil persons or suffer acute illness. I do have a sinus infection, a job, and a boss I don’t particularly care for at times.
