Night of 12/24/00 - 12/25/00
Dream 1
I was at a secluded house which might have been a cabin or vacation house, with a huge backyard and surrounded by forest. There was also a treehouse in a lone tree in the backyard, and during the first part of my dream, I and the people I was with kept moving between the treehouse and the cabin. I was with someone who seemed to be very important to me, although I’m not sure who it was, along with Maharet, a character from some of Anne Rice’s novels. She looked like the actress Lena Olin, who is playing her in an upcoming screen adaptation of the novel Queen of the Damned. I remember talking to Maharet, and I’m not sure what we were talking about, but she was telling me something important, possibly a warning of some sort.
While we were in the cabin, I was trying to figure out a foolproof way to sneak out of my house to spend the night with some friends. I decided to buy rock-climbing rope and climb down the rope from my window. Someone, I don’t know who, got angry at me for looking at a catalog from which I intended to buy the climbing rope. He or she misinterpreted why I was looking at the catalog and calmed down once I explained that I was looking for climbing rope. It is not clear to me what exactly angered this person; it seems to me that there was something else in the catalog that he or she didn’t want me to see or to have.
The dream skips to later that night, when I was using the climbing rope to sneak out my window (I don’t know how I got the rope that fast, but somehow I did). I returned to the cabin, where there were two people around my age, one male and one female, both of whom I was going to sleep with. We started taking off our clothes, but I realized that I’d gotten my period and was embarrassed and disappointed that I couldn’t have sex that night. While we were still in various stages of dress, someone else arrived at the cabin, someone who lived there, and we tried to cover ourselves with our clothes and bedsheets. I don’t remember anything else.
