Anyhoo, the dream started out with my parents taking me and my sister to a mall, specifically to a big warehouse store where they said we could have anything we wanted for free. It was almost all horrible, L.L. Bean style clothes except for a certain area where I found a bunch of mandarin-collared "smocks" that I really liked. I was randomly calling them "smocks" over and over in the dream instead of "robes" or "coats." There were lots of solid color ones, but my favorite was one that had a red metallic underlining covered in a black velvet brocade that had sheer parts that let the red show through. I grabbed that one and also three identical red capes with big ruffled collars.
[note: I was researching a couple days ago for an "Auntie Mame" inspired getup for a Christmas party and I think my favorite "smock" was a remix of the outfit below.]
The scene switched to me walking home from my former grade school in St. Paul and I was standing on a corner (note: in real life there was a 30-something pervert that for a period of time would wait for me on this corner in his car and try to give me a ride, which I never would accept, which eventually resulted in him whipping his junk out at me, then I never saw him again, ew). I saw a boy on the corner who I'd never met before. He said he was new at my school and since one of the students had died, he got to replace them as the "popular" kid but didn't know how since he'd been a nerd all his life. His bangs were cut really weird and I pulled part of them down to form a big long spike that hung in his face like Glenn Danzig in the Misfits days. I said that solved the nerd problem. He was very thankful and we became friends and we rode our bikes over to my house so we could hang out in the basement, but my mom kicked us out right away (true to real-life form).
The next scene involved my mom and dad driving me to a photo shoot that was at a huge mansion on top of a big hill. A mom and kid lived there all by themselves but it looked like it had 50 rooms. For some reason my parents wouldn't drive up the road to the door so they kicked me out on the side of the road with all the clothes and props I brought for the shoot (which included the aforementioned "smock." and I kept having to trudge up and down the huge hill that was was at such a slant you had to crawl on your hands and knees at some points.
The scene switched to a warehouse where someone was wearing all white and doing martial arts. The guy wanted to be my boyfriend but I didn't like him because he scared me but I was trying to act like he didn't. We went into his basement and he left me there for a while and while he was gone I discovered that he had a massive porn collection plus was hiding a bunch of white supremacy flags and martial arts weapons. When he got back, I was trying to pretend I didn't know so I could gracefully escape without getting killed but he kept pinning me to a wall and screaming at me. I think I got really scared at that point and woke up.
UPDATE: In honor of this dream I have purchased this darling Jennifer Davis painting of The Misfits. So awesome. I love that I can justify art purchases when I'm broke with something as valid as a weird dream. You may remember me raving about Jen in my previous post, "The art that dreams are made of." Love this girl.
WEIRD EXPERIMENT
Additionally, I tried an experiment last night before I feel asleep. I always notice that right before I drift off my brain starts thinking really weird snippets and images. I held a pen on a notebook next to me and scrawled these things down in the dark. The result is a crazy-looking list of crap I can hardly read, but here's a bunch of what I was actually able to decipher:
-a solid gold basketball
-a neon blue owl face that was stretched wider in photoshop
-a pearl octopus
-the phrase "¿squick:squawk?" written out on paper
-a cursive L written out a bunch of times in a row
-a small, green glow-in-the-dark ball that had nostrils
-a purple plastic scorpion that sat on a mound of glittery black coal
-a fashion image that was a dead girl with an outfit made out of gauzy discs
-a tiger face with light blue eyes
-teeth wreath
-small plastic eyes glued to a leaf
-a tree with wooden water spigots
-a gold statue of a person wearing an torpedo shaped fruit basket on their head
-an generic alien face with big black false eye lashes
-black and white polka dot material with black eye lashes glued to it
-small stained glass rectangles hovering over eyes
-oranges that sting
