Thornapple House
May 2007
Dream about living in Thornapple house again. (was a big house and land I used to own….when I lived there, I always had dreams about living with a lot of people…like 20)
I woke up and there was a lot of luggage outside. I was cleaning fish tanks and small animal cages. I lived there but there were people that stayed there sometimes.
They had brought really big dogs… three of them, they were Dobermans. Biggest ones I had ever seen. There names were China, Duke and AJ.
There was a cocktail party and I was still working on cleaning a rat cage with a pregnant rat in it. There was a chinchilla set up in the master bedroom, that was pregnant too.
There were a lot of people in the house and I had kept asking the woman there why all these people were in my house but she never did answer me. I had asked earlier when I saw all their luggage outside as well, who they were and whether or not they lived there. Never got an answer.
There were more dogs outside five large german shepherds and a springer spaniel. No names for those. One of them was tied to a truck and was pulling it across the yard to try to get at a squirrel.
There was a couple at the party, a man and lady…no idea if they were supposed to be married or not. They were nice. I kept worrying about someone spilling something in the fish tanks.
The house seemed to get bigger as more people came in. I don’t have any idea who any of them were. Everyone seemed happy to see me and the thing that bothered me was that they all knew why I was there and no one would tell me. Just smile and disappear.
There was an older woman that kept trying to watch television. There were two televisions. One was set up for satellite tv and the other one for movies and games. She kept putting this movie inside a really old Nintendo console and turning on the other television and getting the news. I showed her what she needed to do. But by the time I got the dvd into the dvd player and the right tv turned on she had disappeared.
Then it was the next morning and I was standing with the woman that first showed up with the luggage and we were polishing silverware and putting it in the flatware chest. There were two children sitting across from me at a black marble counter eating chocolate cake. I thought it was a little early for them to be eating chocolate cake.
Then I was there alone again with all these dogs they had brought outside. It occurred to me to get ready to leave. So I got dressed and then I “popped” into the back of a light blue VW van. We were in a big parking lot. I was in the very back seat and the couple, the man and woman from earlier were there. She was driving and he was in the back seat in front of me.
She got out and I watched her walk to whatever store it was we were at and then turned to look at this guy, and he started to kiss me. For a long time. I kept thinking that people don’t kiss me in my dreams and what the hell was he doing. Then she came back so he stopped. And I was very confused. Then I realized I had something in my mouth. There was a white button, a gold paperclip, a red paperclip and a very tiny silver key in my mouth. So I got them out and showed them to him and said, “Do you want these back?” and he said no.
Then I was suddenly on the street of my house that I live in now. I was crossing the street away from my house and I saw a UPS van/motorhome coming. One of the older ones, not the Mercedes they drive now. So I had time I thought… but as I got across the centerline the vehicle started to change, it got bigger and started to swerve. I saw a man in it, he hung his head out the window and screamed, “Finally, I’ve got you, bitch!” So I made to run and was stuck….so I tried to fall and roll…which I did…just barely.
He ran the stop sign (as I was right by it) flew across the street and slammed into the firehouse….all the way through it, pushing the fireengine all the way through it too.
Then I ran back across the street to a little tiny store, yanked the door open and screamed to call 911… they said they already did because they saw it on the news. I said what do you mean, it just happened, it could not have been on the news…and they said yeah…we watched it all happen on the news but they didn’t say it was you, they said it was one of your sisters. I was confused, no… how did they figure it was one of my sisters? It was me. I tried to look at the news but could not get into the building.
So then I went around to the back door and wanted a soda, they were out of Mt.Dew but the waitress said I could use the employee soda machine in the back, it had Mt. Dew in it. So I got back there and it was out too. So I said to her that I needed caffeine and she said to get coffee out of the pot across the room. So I got a foam cup and put coffee in it but it melted the cup. I was making this really big mess.. the cups kept melting and people were starting to look at me funny and I apologized to the lady behind the counter that I was sorry for the mess but I really needed caffeine and the cups kept melting. She said that was alright, they would clean the mess and that I should go to the park.
So I did, not knowing why…and that guy was there again, the one that kissed me. I tried to go behind some trees and go around him but he saw me anyway. I kept walking faster and he caught up and asked where I was going. I said I was going for a walk. He said I should go back to the house. I didn’t know why and I started to get angry because he should not have kissed me and I don’t know what to do with this little tiny key. I said I would go back to the house if he told me what the key was for.
He seemed confused and thought I had used it already. I asked how I could have used it if I didn’t know what it was for. He said it was for the box. I said what box, I haven’t seen any box. He said I would and then I would have the key for it. I asked him what was in the box and he said there was a paper in the box that I needed. I got more angry at him…more angry at the dream…more angry at this box – key idea. Then he disappeared.
I decided I should go back to that house and demand explanations until I got them. As I was going back there was a car following me. It was a really big and old green Cadillac, like an old Seville or something. It had a huge silver hood ornament on it that looked like a gargoyle and very darkly tinted windows. Already having people be mean to me and try to kill me I thought that I would just approach the car, and I did on the passengers side. Just walked up to it and hit the window. The car stopped and the window started coming down. There was a woman in there with long black hair. She was very white, had huge dark brown eyes. I wouldn’t say she was pretty…she was creepy. She smiled…had really big teeth and a lot of them…more than a person usually has. So I said, tell me what the hell you want or leave me alone. She laughed and said she wanted the box. I started yelling about the damn box that I didn’t have the box and I was tired of people trying to kill me for the freaking box. If you want the damn box go find it yourself, I don’t even want the damn thing, I been looking for it for 18 years… I don’t care what the heck is in it…she can have it.. just leave me the heck alone.
She smiled and offered me cake! I called her a few names and then proceeded to stand in front of the car and make them run me over. I tried really hard. It did not work.
I went back to that store. And asked if I was on the news again, they said no but there was a story about a man that woke up without his spine. Some woman had creeped into his house while he was sleeping and scratched his spine out. I thought, yeah…that’s that woman I just saw.
I started walking back to the house again four vehicles swerved to hit me. I could see the drivers before they swerved. They were normal and then they kind of wiggled and changed right before they swerved at me. Each time I jumped into the ditch and they went back on the road.
I got to the house and that dog that was tied to the truck had drug it all the way down the hill to the pasture. I thought it was funny for such a small dog. I went inside and there were those two kids again, looking at an aquarium but it did not look like the set up that I did…it was only half full of water. There were a lot of animals in it though so I went to look. It was full of little tiny dinosaurs. There were some in the water, some on land and tiny teradactals flying in the “air”. I thought, what the heck is this anyway… this is not right.
I asked the kids to be quiet because I was going to take a nap because too many people tried to kill me already today and I went into my master bedroom and shut the doors and got into bed. I could not sleep and so I rolled over and there was the kissing fool again. I said, “If you freaking kiss me or try to scratch out my spine I’m going to kill you.” He laughed and said no, he would not do those things. Then he touched my head and I woke up.
