Suenos Extranos - Strange Dreams

When sleep comes upon me I cannot even begin to explain my mind sometimes and the weird images and scenarios it creates in dreams. Last night, or this morning, whenever dreams are creates - I dreamed that a chimpanzee was trying to break into my house. My cat, who suddenly was speaking, pointed outside and said, "Monkey!" I looked outside and saw a dense jungle and sure enough, a monkey. The monkey saw me and got angry, trying to break into the house. I closed my window shutters and he ripped them open then tried to open up my roof. I banged on the walls with a broomstick and he disappeared...

 

I then had a next dream that I was in Switzerland, with PCV friends. We were hiking in these beautiful snow covered mountains, visiting villagers in beautiful Swiss houses, walking through trails with sticks and branches crunching in the snow. Then I went to a candy shop. It was old and vintage like and I stopped to snap a picture with my camera...

 

 

When I left the candy shop I found a puppy and he was adorable as puppies generally are. I was playing with this puppy when Finn, Charlie's dog from Portland, showed up to give me huge sloppy Finn kisses...

 

Then suddenly, as dreams shift from one reality to another, my friend Christine and I were on the beach, talking about how much our cabana would cost us and whether we should move or not. The sea smelled beautiful, the sun was warm and we were definitely back in Belize...

After that I found myself home. Home in my parents house in Alaska. It was late late late and Caleb, my little brother and I, were hanging out in the living room while everyone else was sleeping. Suddenly, I looked at him and got soooo excited. "I'm home!" I exclaimed, "I'm home, I'm in America. Look!! There's wine on the counter! Caleb, lets drink wine! Oh my gosh, lets eat steak!" I couldn't possibly put into words how excited I was. I was in the States, where you can get anything you want in the store and eat delicious steak and drink wine every day.

And that is my strange journey of the mind from last night....
