Freaky weird dream.

I was delivering pizza (in the dream) around town, looking for a house. I was having incredible difficulty. First the numbers were increasing towards the center of town (not the way it's done in Norman), then I kept passing the house because it didn't have a well-lit number on it, a cop almost pulled me over because I got so flustered I did a U-turn right in the middle of the road, etc. But eventually I found the house.

One of the cars outside had a bumper sticker that said, "Dom Bear looking for Sub Bear". I saw that their pizza order was a small cheese pizza with side orders of broccoli and peas, but that the sides hadn't been put in the box by whoever was boxing pizzas at the store (and I had forgotten to check before I left). So I went up to the door, which was answered by a thinner, older gentleman (not a Bear), and told him that his sides hadn't been put in the box and I'd just knock them off the price.

A guy friend of his (who also didn't very well fit the "Bear" profile) came in and they began discussing the price - and polishing leather belts with metal studs in them on the coffee table. I built up some courage and asked them if they had a copy of SM 101 (a book). They looked around their place (including some interesting bookshelves) but couldn't find one. Then two women came in, acting like typical bookclub women (I can't describe them better). They tried to help find the book for me too.

When they went into the back part of the house I hung behind, not wanting to intrude and go further than I was allowed, and realized that they'd probably spot me as a submissive right there. Y'know, waiting to find out what I was allowed to do... plus my "what can I do to serve" stance that I take on while delivering.

Everyone came back out into the living room and I was writing down my name and number for them when the Grim Reaper, or at least the one from the movie Scream, entered the room. He pushed one of the ladies down on the couch and began repeatedly stabbing her in the chest with the edge of his scythe.

Let me interject here to say that this is NOT the first dream I've had recently involving the grim reaper, and they always follow this same pattern. I'm with a group of people, the reaper appears, and I'm the only one who can see him. He kills one person, generally a girl, very slowly (in that chest-stabbing way), and for everyone else it's time to be cut down just like wheat. I generally try to fight, but... well, I generally wake up, freaked out. Anyway...

I could see him, the others in the house couldn't, etc. He was saying something about killing us all. I found a metal pole on the ground, picked it up, and started beating him with it. Didn't do much good, but I think I did alert the others to his presence. Of course, it also alerted HIM to MY presence. Not good...

And then, when he was coming for me with his nice, big, sharp scythe... I woke up.

I blame this photoshop contest.

I swear you have the best dreams. Is this the first time you took the Reaper on yourself?

I think so. This is the first time I've sat down and written down the dream immediately upon waking, so it's a lot clearer than the others. I just know that I've seen the Reaper's "method" before in dreams. *shudder*

After writing that down, I went back to bed, and had another short dream. The members of my family (including me) were all trying to one-up each other on how well we could clean. We ended up in a bathroom sink competition.

THAT is pure anxiety dream. I have to clean my bathroom before I move out, and boy do I not want to...

well, if you've seen him before, but this is the first time you fought back, my completely uninformed opinion is that this is a good thing. I've heard that you can gain a sense of control and power from acting in these sorts of dreams. That you might eventually be able to stand up to him and fight him off.

Bathroom sink cleaning is fun for no-one.
