I dreamt that I was living by myself in my old house in Sartell (the house over by the Middle School, on 2nd Ave). It was just me and Pixel. But I had these neighbors in the house next door (Peckscamp's house) who were Mexican -- and they were total assholes. Aside from the huge number of people living in their house (it's a two-story house, about 17500 sq ft, and there must have been 50 people living there) who kept really weird hours and listened to their music cranked way the hell up 24 hrs/a day... they had a really mean pitbull.
They always tried to keep the dog on a chain in the yard, but the dog would chew thru the metal chain and attack all the other neighbors. One day the dog came tearing ass into my yard and bit me! So I punched the dog in the head and knocked it out (cuz that makes sense...right. LoL) and brought him over to their place and bitched at them about how I was gonna call the humane society to come take the dog away if it bit me or another neighbor one more time.
So! Then one day, Pixel bolts out the door. She's in the backyard, over by the swingset. I'm back there trying to catch her. But one of the Mexicans is standing in his yard with the pit bull on a leash and the dog is going crazy. I'm trying pretty hard to catch a spooked cat before she runs out of my yard, and she's scared shitless, hunkered down by one of the posts of the swingset. The neighbor starts bitching at me about my cat taunting his dog!! I told him that I was sorry, and I was trying to get her back in the house. And he said he had a better solution and let go of the leash for the damn dog! Needless to say, I was PISSED because this asshole just signed a death warrant for my cat. So I did what any good pet owner does while dreaming this sort of crap: I pulled out a .50 caliber Desert Eagle and shot the living shit out of his dog before it mauled my cat! Needless to say, he was pretty pissed off at me over that one.
So the police come and give him a ticket for being an ass clown (a bunch of the neighbors saw and heard what happened, so it was like 10 people's word against his) and then more time passed.
I decided to plant hedges along that side of the house (the really tall kind) so it would act as a natural fence to keep their dog from coming into my yard. He'd come outside and pour weed killer on the hedges just after I'd planted them and try telling me that he was just killing the weeds that crept into his yard. Back and forth we went.
So I go to Luis' parents (Lalo and Kathy) because they work quite a bit with the hispanic community in the area to ask what I can do because I'm at my wits end -- about to just go burn down their house. And Lalo tells me with a very serious look on his face, "Aaron...just call the INS. That'll fix em!". (If you knew Lalo, you could be pretty certain that those words wouldn't come out of his mouth, right Lou?) So I called the INS and they came to remove all 50 people from the house.
When the INS arrived, they came with the entire Sartell police force (you know, all four town cops) and the new pit bull attacked Broda -- so he shot the dog. Then the whole family turned to me and started asking me how I could do this to their family! I was shocked! I couldn't believe these guys had the audacity to ask me why I would want to send them somewhere else! Bah! I went inside.
Needless to say, just after they moved out, I sold my house and moved "somewhere else" -- then I woke up.
Isn't that a damn strange dream to have? I did have cereal right before going to bed... but I don't think that'd cause me to have cracked-out dreams like this. I don't usually have violent dreams either, so it was an all-around weird night.
The only reason I can come up with as to why my parents were involved in your dream were because you were talking to me for a little bit last night...and you are right...my dad wouldn't say something like that...I'm sure he'd probably say that you need to get the law involved because they have a potentially dangerous dog...so yeah...strange dream.
Yeah, I know. There's no way in hell your dad would say something like that. It was just an overall weird dream. You're right -- I think your family was in the dream cuz we were talking. But I dunno why the dream happened in the first place. :-P
Wow, your dreams are much more linear than mine. (In mine, I'll be with person X at place Y doing Z, and then X will change into person T, and suddenly we'll be at place Q, still doing Z, and so on, but it makes sense while I'm dreaming). I got to dream about taking my 301 test. blech.
err, I meant last night I dreamt about the 301 test.
Wahoo, did you pass in your dream? ;-) Yeah, my dreams tend to be fairly coherent in terms of moving from one point to the other.
Mine do both...it'll be one dream for a little bit, and then it'll jump to another dream the next and be that dream for a while.
