dream diary: entry 5.
i was a different man. i dont remember what my name was but i was quite tall and average looking but a bit on the disheveled side. i had memories of family members comparing me to homosexual serial killers. i was walking to my girlfriend's grandmother's house which was on the main street, across from a supermarket. as i was approaching her front door i saw my girlfriend arriving at the house in a maxi taxi. the taxi parked, and the driver got out along with her. i was instantly terrified of the taxi driver and i started to shout. the taxi driver straddled me and duct-taped my mouth and my limbs, and took me inside to sit quietly on my girlfriend's grandmother's red sofa with her little lap dog. for some reason my girlfriend thought this was fine, and was just lying outside in a yellow hammock. i heard the taxi driver doing something outside in the backyard, and i started screaming "evil dead" through the duct tape gag for some reason. my girlfriend finally came and took my duct tape off. we went through the back of the house and through the back of the taxi to sit in the front and see what was going on. the taxi driver had blown up a giant inflatable pool, and it was filled with blood. i turned around and said calmly to my girlfriend "go back inside and phone somebody". but as she started to crawl back through the back of the taxi, the taxi driver came up to the door of the taxi and said "dont go! i've blown up the pool for you two!". the dog had also entered the taxi at this point. he grinned menacingly and said "and that little dog can join you too!" in this moment i realised that we were going to die, along with the dog. at this point i woke myself up because im quite fond of dogs and i didnt want to see what would happen.
i went back to sleep almost instantly after, and had another dream which was uninteresting. what i do remember though, was that i saw a DVD case, presumably the DVD for the fictional film that i had been dreaming about in my previous dream. i read the back of the case, which said "a grandmother returns home to find her granddaughter and her boyfriend dead, along with what was left of her dog."

dream diary: entry 4.
i went to a convenience store to buy some things like decorative paper and candy but i cant remember why. i think it was someone's birthday. when i got to the register the girl working there told me that my total was $199.32 with discounts, and i only had four items. i looked at the screen where they show what you bought, and it was all wrong. i got a bit angry and told her to stop trying to scam me. she retotalled and it was $16.15. i said "that's more like it". i left the convenience store and realised i missed the bus, which comes at 12:17. it was 12:27. while i was walking to the bus stop to wait for the next bus, i saw my grandparents, and we started to walk to their car. we saw the side of a pub resturant that obviously did shrimp barbeque, because there were adverts all over the building that said things like "krill on the grill" and "yellow from the grellow". that second one makes no sense, but it's a dream so who cares. i turned around to my grandparents, and started getting excited about the shrimp, and shouting "yellow from the grellow". as we walked past i turned back again and said to them "we arent going in, are we?"

dream diary: entry 3.
i was at a friends house that wasnt really his house, but it was the same style of house, only bigger. in my dream each room was an html page. at the house, his grandmother was staying there, and she was called nan. nan was scary because when she had her eyes down, she reached out as if to grab my neck, and then as soon as i noticed and got scared, she looked up and waved and smiled at me. there was a html tag to stop her which was <nan>. i discovered this, but as soon as i entered a room to put the <nan> tag on the html code, she approached me. i tried kneeling on the floor so i could see her eyes, but she grabbed my neck nonetheless, and i was too late to put the code in, and she strangled me and crushed my throat.
key themes: nan, html, eyes, strangulation

dream diary: entry 2.
i dreamt that i was living in a small town like in the birds by alfred hitchcock. it was raining heavily and flash-flooding, meanwhile there was a killer on a rampage looking for a new face. i managed to evade him by giving him different weapons while running away, because i think he had some kind of compulsion about holding one thing at once. when the floods were getting really bad my mother lead me to this tiny one-story a-frame shack, which wasnt old, since the wood wasnt rotting and it looked like fresh hardwood. once i was inside she gave me watercolour art supplies and 2 pads of paper, locked the door, then ran off with the rest of the town. i was in the shack for a little while and droplets were falling on my head and around me. i got up to walk around and while i had my back turned, the killer jumped out at me from nowhere. and then i woke up to the sound of heavy rain.

dream diary: entry 1.
it was long, but i cant remember much, just an otis b driftwood/riff raff kind of guy speaking to me. i only remember the last thing he said; "you dont know what you want". and then i saw bloodied body parts in the snow. the most interesting part though, is that after the body parts, i was woken up to a can falling off of my bookshelf. a can that was between two others, and didnt knock any other cans off on its way down. it was loud and quite disturbed me.
honestly it was probably just an effect of all of the horror films i watched leading up to halloween, but the can part is still unexplainable.
