I haven't forgotten about this journal, I just rarely have dreams that I can remember. Seriously! I'll wake up in the morning and only remember a feeling or a certain image from a dream, but it's really not enough to write about.
Last night I had an interesting dream. I dreamt that a lot of my friends and acquaintences, mostly people from my dorm freshman year, all had to work together in some factory. We were the ages we are now and we knew each other from freshman year, so it's not like everyone was strangers in the dream. I think we were all building airplanes or something. It's weird because I'm now reading a book about women who built bombers in WWII but I hadn't started reading the book at the time that I had the dream.
Anyway, none of us really knew what we were doing, except for some of the guys. I specifically remember one guy being in the dream (he now lives next door to me) and he was kind of someone in charge at the factory. Not a manager or anything, but just someone who really knew what he was doing. He's kind of like that in real life too, and kind of bossy, so his personality fit into the dream really well.
From what I remember of the factory it was brown, there was a lot of dark brown in it. There were also large windows that let light in but they were really high up (being as it was a factory the ceilings were really high, like in a gym, but I think higher). The beams and pipes and such were exposed on the ceiling. The whole experience was very bureaucratic and involved a lot of punching in and out, but not really talking to people. I did talk to my friends a lot in it (two of my roommates were in the dream). Strangely enough I don't remember any of the people I don't like from that year being in the dream, it was all people I liked or people I didn't really know that well to form an opinion about them either way. I think I remember being really confused about my job in the factory, but it turns out that everyone else was confused and so there wasn't much we could do about it.
