Sand in her eyes

I was some sort of mermaid creature - I had a fish-like tail instead of legs.

However, since I was on land a lot of the time, I walked on my arms with my tail up in the air.

There were other people there, too. There was this guy who I was in love with - some guy who was in my class at primary school. I told him I had a crush on him when we were at school together.

(This is not true - he was actually one of the few guys I DIDN'T have a crush on at some point or another when at school.)

I haven't much interesting to report, except to say that a part of a dream came true the day after I dreamt it.

Backstory: I had found out that my brother had purchased the first episode of the new Sam and Max game on his computer. Having loved the first Sam and Max game, I kept asking him if I could play it. (I'm not allowed to use his computer unless he says so.) He kept on saying, "maybe later", "maybe later". So I had been waiting for weeks for later to come. I had pretty much given up and had even stopped bugging him about it.

The night before last, I had a dream where my brother said to me, "Do you want to play Sam and Max now?"

Not a very interesting dream, I don't really remember it the rest of it, but I do remember that part because I remember being disappointed when I woke up, when I realised it was a dream.

But yesterday, the day after I had that dream, my brother says to me, "Do you want to play Sam and Max?"

And I did. It was a very funny, challenging-but-not-too-challenging game with the same old Sam and Max humour that they had in the first game.

Maybe tonight I'll try and dream that I get a Nintendo Wii.

I had an interesting dream this morning, only it's faded. This happens a lot. But I've also come up with an idea to catch my dreams before they fade. Instead of trying to remember them long enough to write the entire dream down, forgetting the dream even as I write them, I'm going to get my dictaphone and place it right near my bed or under my pillow. That way, when I wake up, I just need to dictate my dream into the dictaphone. It's quicker than writing it down and I don't even need to be completely awake to do it. Hopefully, this'll make it easier to catch more of my dream, and might even make my records of them more accurate, if I can do it before my ego kicks in and starts trying to make sense of it, thereby changing my memory of the dream. I can write the dream down from listening to the dictaphone later.

I just need to remember to do it.

I wrote this dream in my writing journal. I had forgotten about it, but I was looking through it last night.

I walked up to a man to tell him something important, only to forget what it was I was supposed to tell him, and then I discovered that I could barely move. I was paralysed. The man seemed to know what was wrong with me - I apparently had some sort of disease. He picked me up and carried me to a hospital bed.

A doctor/healer came to treat me, but he believed that I was faking it for attention. He was angry and harsh, and he told me off. Feeling guilty, I gathered what strength I had to get some movement in my limbs and left the hospital. I believed that there was nothing wrong with me because of what the doctor said, but it was very hard to move. My legs were heavy and they kept dragging me down every two steps. I tried to hold on to the wall to keep myself upright, it was very hard. But I kept going, trying to walk as normally as possible as if nothing was wrong with me.
