Dreamtime-

May 1, 2009- Two Parties

My family and I were at a party at the big, fancy home of one of my Aunt Ann’s friends, Barbara (fictional). Approximately 70 people were here. I was a little anxious. Mom was chatting with her niece, Fran. Dad was having a conversation with Uncle Joe.

   I was mostly hanging out with my brother and cousin Missy. I did go over to my aunt for a bit. She was talking to her daughter Donna about mystery novels. I sort of wanted to join in on this conversation but wasn’t feeling comfortable enough to do so, probably partially due to my low self-esteem.

   Barbara announced that there was a special guest arriving now. We were told to go into the living room where a piano was. Sitting at it was Elton John. I was happy about this. He performed “Sad Songs” and “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues”. He would be doing a few more songs later.

   I suddenly felt very tired. I asked if I could go to one of the bedrooms to take a nap. Barbara said that this would be fine.

    I was awoken from my sleep by the sound of 2 guys talking. When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was now in an entirely different setting. I was in the passenger seat of a car. The driver looked like David Hasselhoff. We were in the KITT car (Pontiac Trans-Am) from his show “Knight Rider”. He was talking to it.

   I didn’t really say anything to David/Michael Knight. I wondered where we might be going. No, I never did have a crush on this actor.

   We were driving through the countryside which was nice. I saw around a dozen balloons like the ones in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in a field; one was the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

   We arrived at our destination, a Victorian style home. I saw my mother’s car, the 1984 Buick Century, parked outside of it.

     This home turned out to be that of our friends, the Prescotts. Mrs. P asked Michael if he would stay for the party but he couldn’t because he had to go back to work.

   My parents and brother were in the backyard. Why hadn’t I just come there with them? It certainly was strange but interesting that a fictional character was part of this storyline.

   Mike and Jeff took a walk. I talked with Pam. Mom and Mrs. P were chatting about a Bradlees coworker of theirs. Billy Joel music was playing on the stereo.

    Dad and Mr. P had just made up over an argument that they had had at their workplace, General Motors. They put the burgers and hot dogs on the grill. I helped bring out some of the other food to the table.

   Mom had made her baked beans (she used to bring this to most barbecue parties that we went to), coleslaw, and potato salad. For dessert, there was cupcakes and Mom’s chocolate mayonnaise cake.

   Mike was talking about the trip to Austria that he was saving up for. The program ended shortly after that. I wished that I could have been at both parties for longer. I would have loved to have seen the rest of Elton John’s performance.

Elton John/Knight Rider Dream

May 1, 2009

I was at a party in a nice house and lots of my family were there. Elton John performed at it. Part of me was wishing that it was Bon Jovi or Duran Duran doing this. I wasn't really paying attention to him. I did so for a couple of songs. He did some more later on. I was feeling nervous being there. I took a nap for a little while. There were many rooms in this place. I was more scared of the social situation then the fact that I had been abducted by aliens. Not sure if I was on their planet or in their spaceship and if these were holograms or shape shifters.

I did become even more scared when I saw my Uncle B. there. Why did they make that bastard show up? It's upsetting even thinking about this guy who harrasssed me and blamed me for leading him on. I don't remember the details of this part of the dream and wish that I had just forgotten this entirely.

I was regretting not allowing myself to focus on the music. I did watch him do I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues. The aliens suddenly made the scene change. I was no longer at the party but in the car from Knight Rider - KITT and David Hasselhoff was driving it. Everyone did look younger in both settings like in most of my dreams.

There were a CD and a DVD player in KITT. I was thinking that this is kind of cool but also wondering why they put me in such a situation. Things weren't making much sense. We were driving through the countryside. I saw alot of character shaped balloons like ones in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I saw the turkey first. I wish that I could remember some of the others.

We stopped at this house and it turns out that our family friends the Trescots lived there. David just dropped me off and left. My parents were also here. Mark and Glen were out on a walk. Paula was with her dad in the backyard. Dad wanted to go out there too but was too afraid to- not sure why. I think that he had had a disagreement with him a week earlier and was afraid to admit that he was wrong.

I was in the kitchen with mom and Kathy helping them with the dinner. It felt nice to be there. I was more comfortable here than at the other place. Maybe because this was a smaller get together. I wish that I could remember more about the bigger party. I think that I wanted to talk to my cousin Ellen about something- maybe mystery novels- but was afraid to do so.
