Inside a Volcano

Been a while, I know. And I have had some interesting dreams since the last one. I've just been so busy with school lately.

So this one last night. There's a lot I don't remember because I woke up so many times.
I was at some ceremony for my best friend in the dream (who I didn't know in real life). We were inside a volcano and jumping on the lava. There was some layer between us and it, but you could see the orangy color glowing through in some areas and it also wasn't hot. But we did have to be careful not to break it. It was like a bouncy house or a water bed.
In the ceremony, I think we were like inducting her into another family. In that family was a guy that I really liked but he liked one of my friends. Who also liked him. This pretty much ruined mine and her relationship, because she started running with a different crowd to impress him and really became a bitch.
While he liked her, he also kind of had a thing for me too. The day of the ceremony, I acted in part of the tradition and thanked his family by jumping up and down in the middle of all of them, thanking them and talking about how great they were before we left. The guy caught my eye then and I his.
After the ceremony, we went down off the volcano and everyone left. He and I were two of the last ones. I went up to thank him again (in a normal way) and ended up dancing away from him after. He ran after me and asked if I'd like to go out dancing with him sometime. Of course I was all over that and said yes. He kissed me after that a few times. He seemed a bit hesitant at first, but did it twice more.
We then walked to a hole in the wall restaurant that he knew the owner and chef of. It was supposed to have amazing food. One of my guy friends were there too suddenly. While we were waiting for the food, I noticed through the window in the nice restaurant next door, my bitchy ex friend who also liked the guy I was with. I think they had a thing previously but I'm not really sure. Of course he noticed her too, and she noticed us. Then the guy's sister walked in and sat next to her at her table. That sister apparently was vying for her to get him.
We all went about our business, but they guy suddenly started acting uncomfortable and kept stealing glances that way. As we sat down at our table after ordering at the bar, we saw through the window that the girl was making out with the guy at the table behind her. Clearly this was to make the guy with me jealous, and it worked, I noticed.
I stood up then and pulled him aside. I told him that I can't be with him if he still likes someone else and walked out. I heard him coming after me, so I took off running around corners in this Venice like city set up in my dream.
I was now in an area with a bunch of very wealthy homes all with their backs to a lake. I snuck through there until I got to a large public pool at the side of a house. Three girls showed up after me and one started swimming. The other two were talking to me about how fast I was at the last swimming competition and how much I beat everyone else by. So apparently I'm a good swimmer in my dream.
They went on to say how pissed the girl in the pool was about getting second and how she is determined to beat me this time. I came to find out that that girl was essentially the head bitch that my ex friend started hanging out with. Now I want to clarify that I didn't really have a problem with my "ex" friend, other than the fact that I was jealous that the guy still liked her so much. But I wasn't hateful toward her or anything. Apparently we had been really close in the past and I guess I always thought we might get back to that.
Anyway, I ended up hoping in the pool and did just two laps at such an incredible speed, I hardly believed it. The head girl was livid so I got out and just sat on the side, not wanting to start trouble. I more just wanted to see if what the girls said were true. They were now cheering on the side of the pool at the other end.
Later, I noticed my ex friend was there with the bitchy girl. They were at the end of the pool which bordered the latter girl's yard. They were talking to a man and a police officer. From what I gathered the man had broken in or something and out of the corner of my eye, I saw that him and the girls kept glancing my way. Then someone brought me over a bowl of red water and a canister with something in it. They asked me to take it to that house and give it to the parents. For whatever reason, I obliged, but not before dumping the water in the pool and refilling it with clear water. I knew something was up. I also tossed the canister in a bush. As I was walking along the street toward the front of the house, a police car pulled up beside me and asked me what I was carrying. I showed them the water and said I was taking it to the parents. They went on to tell me that the man said I was working with him and was bringing him red water and a can with something in it. Around that same time, the guy I liked and had run from earlier showed up. Since I didn't have what the police were looking for, I was off the hook. My old friend looked really guilty. I felt bad for her, but this was going too far. I know it was mostly the bitchy girl's idea, but she still went with it.
I figured out that the girls had hired the man to do what he did and accuse me of helping too. They would then place me with evidence and the guy would show up just as I was arrested and he wouldn't want me anymore. Luckily, that failed.
I dropped the bowl of water and walked back up the street away from the pool. I walked right past the guy, who had seen what had happened, and I kept going. He tried saying something to me, but I wasn't listening because I was angry with everyone at that point and also the two girls ran up to him and started talking about what happened.
I was walking up a hill past some stores when he caught up to me. I told him to go back, that he shouldn't been seen with me if he wants to win back my old friend. He said didn't believe the girls for a second, and the only reason he showed up when they called him was because they had said I was there. When I had walked out on him and he couldn't find me earlier, he realized that it scared or worried him more than when he saw the other girl kissing the guy in the restaurant.
We walked back down the hill together toward the pool where his car was parked. On the way, we passed the girls. Their faces were plastered with hatred, defeat, or jealousy (depending on the girl) as they tried to walk by as if they didn't care that he didn't believe them and now had his arm around me.
We got in the car together and I woke up. That was my dream.

Connection to the real world? It's kind of a mix between what happened with my boyfriend and our friend Molly before he and I started dating and the anime/manga Peach Girl. Molly liked David too and thought they were going to date. He didn't really see it that way and when I started showing interest, he chose me. She later would bring up in class instances where they were together alone and how things almost happened and the sort. Now things are fine, but for a while, it was super uncomfortable and she was clearly very bitter. Even her best friend told her flat out to stop once when I was there. In Peach Girl, Momo's best friend likes her boyfriend and tries to convince the school and the boy that Momo is this terrible person. It works several times too, but in the end, the boyfriend finds out and outs the friend. So the dream kind of took aspects of both I think.

That's it for now. Until next time!

Intruders and Hosts

I actually had this first dream like two weeks ago when I first moved in to my Aunt and Uncle's place. I woke up and was planning on going swimming right away in the pool. When I went out of my bedroom, there were people all over cleaning the house. I wasn't too surprised. I figured they might have cleaning people. I just didn't know they'd be there then. I was just going to leave them to their work and go to the pool, but people were coming in through the door. They went to the bedrooms and bathrooms and changed in to swimsuits and started swimming. I didn't know who any of these people were and they seemed like just random people who possibly thought the house was still empty. I told them to leave but they didn't listen. I tried to yell at them but it didn't come out as much more than a whisper. I was scared and angry. I woke up soon after a bit freaked out, but happy to see that the house and pool were empty.


-- O --


Last night I had a lovely dream. I was with the host club again (I must be obsessed) but this time I was in it. Haruhi didn't have to dress like a boy here, but I did. But in the dream, I was able to dress normal. Haruhi, in her girls uniform, still got the attention she did in the series, but when I started coming, I got it too. It was like they gave it to us equally. Now me joining wasn't in the dream. It was if I had been there for a while. But somehow I knew this.
Now in the dream (the events that actually happened and not what I could infer), Haruhi and I were playing a game (a board game maybe?) alone on the floor and talking. She and I were really close and the boy situation didn't get between us. We kind of just let them do as they pleased and go on trying to get both of our attention. But right now we were alone as kind of our last time hanging out for a while because I was going back home (which was apparently very far away) to go to school for a year there living with a family member. My mom was making me, but I couldn't tell if I had agreed to this much earlier and now regretted it or if she was forcing me from the start.
Now Tamaki was suddenly there. He was trying to help me pack. Being the super kind and supportive guy he is, he looked at this as a great opportunity for me, though he was also clearly upset. I cared about Tamaki and loved being his friend, but I kind of wished he'd just pay attention to Haruhi instead of us both. In the loving manner I mean. But anyway, I had pretty much packed everything. He was mostly just moving around the boxes and looking busy I think. Haruhi and I continued playing and didn't give him much notice. Finally, I got up and went to talk to him while he was getting things from the other room. I told him he really didn't have to do this, that it was all under control already. I gave him a smile and he gave me a sad one back. He gave me a really big hug then and I welcomed it. I would miss him. I'd miss everyone.
When I went back to the other room, Hikaru was there with Haruhi. He was sitting where I had been previously and was watching the door as I came in. He smiled and I perked up a little. I ran over and slid on to the ground next to him, crashing in to him a little. We all laughed and Tamaki walked in, still looking sad. He smiled at our laughter, then went to join the rest of the boy who were doing something or another in another room.
I was thrilled to be with Hikaru. Unlike me dream last month where I was all about Kaoru, I was back to adoring Hikaru. Probably because I reread the series. Anyway I was indeed thrilled. He was the one I wanted, and it was becoming increasingly more clear lately (pre dream) the he was wanting me more too. And Haruhi was of course fine with it. That's how she is. Plus, I knew how it would turn out with Tamaki soon enough. :) Probably while I was away.
But my heart raced being next to him. I felt so comfortable, like this is where I belong. Every time he touched me, looked at me, even when he smiled or laughed, it was like a shock going through me. In the past I had always acted very indifferent, as if he was just acting as a friend. He liked both Haruhi and me and I didn't want to get hurt if he chose her, which I would then totally support because I love them both and want them to be happy. But now, I could tell he was focusing on me. The way he acted...he acted like a friend toward Haruhi and acted like he couldn't get enough of me. Finally, I was able to act that way back. Although nothing was said of course. It could have just been because I was leaving for a long time. But it apparently had been a gradual thing.
My mom came in then and told me that I'd be living with my Aunt Linda and family when I got back home. I asked again if I couldn't just stay here, but she turned me down and walked out. The mood got a little sad then so I walked in to the other room for a bit with the excuse of checking to make sure I had everything together, but actually just to think and be alone for a minute. Shortly after I walked in, Hikaru joined me. He came up without a word and hugged me. He held me for a long time before letting go. He said some things I can't remember, then he leaned in and kissed me. And of course, I kissed back.
After this there is kind of a lapse in my memory, which isn't too surprising. I know we didn't stay in there long. I was back with Haruhi for a bit, something happened where Mori and Hunny had to get involved, I was with Tamaki for a bit again, and I was with Kaoru in the room with my packed things for a bit. This I remember parts of. He had either seen or heard that Hikaru and I...not kissed necessarily, but that we knew each of us like one another. We had each made our choice. Kaoru was upset when I was with him, but he was trying to keep a strong face.
Finally I was back playing with Haruhi. Hikaru was sitting next to me and I think Kaoru and Tamaki were there too. But this is when I woke up. I'd like to think they all went with me like at the end of the Host Club Series when they followed Haruhi to Boston. But who knows. :)
