A Dream About Alexander Skarsgård

I was going to the mall, to an opening of a new Bath & Body Works (in case there aren't any in Europe, they're basically a store that carries bath and body care products), which took over a bookstore or something along those lines. Because this is a weird dream, I also have to bring a "housewarming gift" with me.

Once at the mall, I go into what is supposed to be the store, but it's an office space. You have to wait for someone from the store itself to open the doors for you, so you can go in (weird, but just you wait). I walk into the store, which is a bluish color, and full of little lip balms in baskets. I am carrying around my "housewarming gift," as a male associate makes his way towards me. He had greeted me when I came in, and was very interested in me. I just got that vibe from him in the dream, especially with how he looked at me or spoke to me. I hand him the basket, but not before removing my own items that I had left inside it.

This is where things get interesting:

Alexander is standing outside the storefront, staring at me and the associate through a blue plate-glass window. He is apparently my boyfriend, and he runs off, causing me to chase him. I am yelling for him to stop running, but he's feet ahead of me (on account of his being 6'4" to my short 5'5" height). He turns to me as he's running, and chucks the green apple he'd been eating at me. It hits me in the forearm, which instantly bruises me.

"Alex! Do you realize those damn apples hurt?"

He just keeps running. By this point, the store associate has caught up with me, and continues running after Alexander (because I have slowed down to check on my arm); screaming that he ought to come back and apologize. Alex takes another apple he was eating as he ran, and throws it at the guy from Bath & Body Works, who has the same reaction as me.

It was after this, I awoke.

I am going to analyze this. I may post the results.

January 10th Dream

I had another dream (this is a reoccurring one, that I was finally able to remember to write down) where if you can run fast enough, you can lift off and fly. I ended up in 1904, with the Grandpa from Meet Me in St. Louis.

I also saw Jonny Lee Miller (who currently plays Sherlock Holmes in CBS' Elementary) in period dress stubbing a cigarette walking down a lane. I think he was supposed to be the grandson of the "Grandpa" guy, because he was looking around as if he were being watched.

I flew out of this weird reality to a town I lived in while living in Oregon, but ended up in the last city I lived in Oregon before moving to California.

This dream tends to be vivid in the flying aspect, since I have vertigo. I can feel the wind on my face, and the feeling in the pit of one's stomach when in flight and looking down at the scenery below you. It was dizzying, I remember.

I am totally analyzing this one.

Analysis

• Flying-To dream that you are flying signifies a sense of freedom where you had initially felt restricted and limited.
• Celebrity-To see a celebrity in your dream represents your beliefs and understanding about him or her. Consider what the celebrity is famous or known for and how you relate to that quality. Something in you waking life has triggered these similar beliefs and feelings. It is not uncommon that your obsession with a certain celebrity may carry over onto your dream world. Celebrities are often seen as heroes and all that is mighty. Also consider any puns within the name.
• Smoking-To see someone smoking in your dream, depends on your on personal associations with smoking. However, it often indicates some sort of dissension, disagreement or rebellion.

Today's Dream

I can't remember much of it, but we lived in a universe where you could choose your own adventure for a life and place to live. I encountered several male celebrities, and lived in a giant Victorian with a grand staircase. As with the books, if you didn't like the adventure your life was on, you could change it.

I ended up married and encountering all kinds of unusual things.

A Dream Featuring Santiago Cabrera

Santiago Cabrera is in my dream as a vampire in this True Blood-type series. This girl (who was not me--sadly) was made, but through some unusual thing she became human again. Santiago comes along, invisible to this girl and no one else, and begins seducing his former "grandchild." He circles her, gently stroking her collarbone, and whispering Spanish words in her ears as he walks around her. The word respiro (which in Spanish means "respite") was used, with the lovely tongue roll that Spanish speakers (or people who roll their Rs like I can) are skilled at. Said woman is entranced, and her former bite mark scars are visible on her neck.

At this point, I awoke, mad that I couldn't continue this dream.

January 20, 2006 Dream

I have been searching high and low for this dream, and I finally found it in a folder in a binder full of stuff that used to adorn my walls and notebooks when I lived in New Hampshire.

I was shopping in the mall with my sister and mom. My sister wanted to go in a store where I was thrown out for some unknown reason. So I told them I was going to the personal beauty store a few rows down.

I walked in, and there was Tré Cool from Green Day, and a bunch of other men who ignored my presence. I was looking at eye shadow, when Tré Cool comes up, and tells me that those colors wouldn't coordinate with my "pretty brown eyes." So in my weirdly unnatural flirting style, I asked his opinion. He points out a few, and I grab a few.

"Now this," he whispers, "is what you need."

A set of make-up.

I go for this kit with my neutral lip color, and Tré grabs it from my hand.

"No, it will white you out. Try this."

The lip colors are a light pink and a deeper mauve. Tré then opens up a series of lip glosses, and proceeds to pile them on my lips. So here I am, standing in front of the drummer of Green Day who I find attractive, with pink and purple gunk on my lips.

"You look beautiful, Colleen," he laughs.

I see my mom and sister coming, so I wave. Tré looks in their direction and quickly focuses on me. He piles on some clear gloss, caps it, and smoothes the gloss out a bit on my lips. Next thing I know, I am making out with Tré Cool. He is literally spreading the gloss onto my lips by making out with me.

I could feel every sensation while I was sleeping during this dream, and it was fantastic!

June 29 Dream #1

Actually, this is dream #2, but since I am writing of it first, it's #1.

In this dream, I am in a break room, full of people.  I cannot say what I do for a living, other than that I have a job.  Suddenly, there is John Krasinski looking at me in such a way that I smile widely.  I walk over to him, and I say something cheeky (I can't remember what I said).  He smiles that Jim Halpert smile, and magically a book appears in his hand.

"I think the time has come for me to read a poem to you."  He flips open the book, walks closer to me, and I take off.  I run around the seemingly-large break room, lots of people sitting around us, oblivious to what is happening.  I am laughing, and screeching for him to get away from me, while he shouts titles of poems behind me.

"The Iliad, Sonnet 116, Indian Serenade, She Walks In Beauty!"  Finally, he catches on to what is happening, and changes his direction, trying to cut me off at the pass.  I get tired, and just stop dead by where he was sitting.  He walks back up to me, and says, "What'll it be?"

In my mind, I briefly thought of Sonnet 116, but I woke up before the dream was done.  I do know that John and I were dating, but doing so in secret.
