Alien shark lover.

I was on some sort of cruise ship (but I’ve never actually been on anything other than a lake ferry, so it was like my brain was taking the physical memories of being on the ferry and “upsizing” them to a grand, but slightly ridiculous scale.) on the ocean (again, never been on a ship in the ocean, so my brain was taking cobbled together images- and very much insisting it was “ocean” with little link to reality) with randomly changing scale of what the surrounding views were.

I was walking the ship, going into rooms, watching the scenery.

Some sort of disturbance on the top deck.

Huge sea monster barreling down on us, the wake covering most of it, but we can see tentacles – a mix of squid, shark, pointy bits everywhere. It rammed into the ship, and most of the bulk of it exploded into different parts. Some of it was man-sized creatures that started attacking, some of it was small squirmy nasty bits that burrowed into people, and exploded back out (like SGU creatures, really), some of it was tiny little worms that burrowed into you- and there were larger chunks that split off back into the ocean and continued the attack from the water.

I ran back inside to hide- heard all the screaming and fighting suddenly stop- and went back out. Someone shoved a broom in my hand and told me to help clean the ship off to get all the mess off the boat.

Apparently a sudden downpour had happened, and the creatures were unable to survive if they were doused in water without any salt. So if they were still in the ocean it would be fine, but separated from seawater, they can’t survive, and they turned into goopy nasty mess. Which I was currently slopping off the decks with my broom.

Vague images of scientists figuring out what the creatures were- apparently some sort of ocean creature/alien hybrid. More details on how to keep from getting infested- mostly by drinking a ton of water.

For some incredibly stupid reason I was back on a boat, and being used as bait to try and contact the head alien. I had some sort of natural immunity to the gross worms that floated around the aliens. Maybe to betray it, maybe to make alliances. I got taken by the alien- who was horrifying. But in a campy kind of way- I wasn’t really too scared, in the dream or out. It was a huge shark. Well, he was a huge shark, and he had a huge human penis. And we had very bizarre alien shark and human intimate relations. At some points it was like a Ren and Stimpy cartoon- very odd and campy. He wanted to get me pregnant- but I had to keep drinking water, so that was not going to happen. I met a few other of the alien hybrids, some sharks, but mostly other sea creatures, but all creepy and just slightly more askew than you’d be comfortable with.

There was some sort of resolution- scientists and military people used the information I got out of my alien shark lover/captor. Details are vague- I seem to remember watching them blow up the aliens, and feeling a little sad about it, but understanding it was for the best. Since I was one of the few people who had a natural immunity to the disgusting worm infestation, if they had colonized, lots of people would have died.

the string had signs of being chewd upon

"Right here"

November 18
Some sort of lodge
In the fall, lots of foliage colors
Mary Jess, Robert and Tommy were making a haunted house, accessed through a trap door in their living room, under a rug. Steps down, lots of Halloween paraphernalia lining walls and stairs, then almost straight outside to side cellar door. MJ did not want to go down steps b/c she was pregnant again. Something about Tommy and Robert wanting to put on haunted house for neighborhood kids.
Owners of lodge came up to me, older husband and young unhappy trophy wife ( like russian couple in 2012?). He wanted to take a drive in incredibly expensive convertible, wife was all whiny. He was inviting me to have someone else to talk to. I got into back of the car, remember being cramped and scared of flying out, but then not caring because it was such a beautiful day. Wide vistas, incredible colors, beautiful colors.
Came back to lodge, all the workers were on porch- the clouds had come in, incredibly dark. Some sort of "native peoples superstition" about the sun going back down right after the dawn and never coming back. they had gathered to pray for it to rise again. I thought it was a grand idea, so I sat down to at least meditate and support them. I kneeled and sat on my feet, but noticed a lady sitting lotus next to me. We started to talk a little, she was showing me how to meditate, and telling me the legends of the sun. She told me finally that it was ok to sit like I was before, and had continued to tell me how to achieve the meditative state. I reached over to her, startling her, and grabbed the air just a few inched from her face. I told her "Right here" and smiled. She said "Oh, you know already" and looked slightly surprised, then let me be. We all turned in unison to the right, all suddenly sitting or kneeling in the same direction. Again, I thought, oh, ok, this is fine too.
The sky was dark, incredibly textured, and the landscape continued to play all the colors. We were all praying for the sun to rise again.

Huge raven and a tiny brown wren

November 11
Was in bed with Meg, Sarah, and maybe Bev, maybe a few others. Sarah was getting married. We were in the Heatherwood house, different, more airy interior. Upper bedroom had a huge open skylight. I was awake before anyone else, laying in bed looking out the skylight. Dark shadow of a bird flying by. Heard and saw huge raven alight on the edge of the opening. Was about the size of a small spaniel. Just glanced in, scanning, then saw that I was awake. Intense intellegence in his eyes sparked. Fluffed up, started croaking at me. Some sort of exchange between us, he was getting irritated. And louder. I tried to shush him, and he decided he wanted to come in. I did not want to wake the other women. I got out of bed and tried to keep him outside by waving a pillow at the skylight. We eventually woke the other people in the room, and I told them to stay in bed, but while I was distracted, the raven pooped an egg on the ground on Sarah's dress. I was distracted by that, and the raven flew in, then out the bedroom door into the rest of the house. He was followed by a tiny brown wren. I followed them down the stairs, and opened the back door of the house, hoping he would just fly out on his own, then went back upstairs to clean up after them, and help every one get ready for the ceremony. I was able to clean off the splattered egg, not alot had gotten on her dress
We were down in the kitchen, leaning against the breakfast bar and talking. Nathan came in to join us, chatting. He jumped up to sit on the edge of the sink. It was a big farmers sink, so when he jokingly leaned back to slip into the sink, he fit. He kept chatting. His phone rang, and he answered it. The others in the room continued to chat pleasantly. After he hung up his phone, he looked upset and like he was trying not to cry. I went over to talk to him, and he started crying. I held him, taking him out of the sink and on to the floor/into a chair, and could tell he did not want to talk about it. He also thought I wanted him to talk about it, surprised when I just told him to not worry about talking about it. I think I put him into bed, to sleep.
I left him in the room, and realized I did not know if the birds had gotten out of the house yet. I wandered in the back, looking for them. There were alot of people there, all for the wedding. Someone pointed to the front of the house, and I found both of the birds there up by the ceiling near the front door. I opened the door, and the raven flew off gracefully. The little wren fluttered a bit, he had found a nest he liked in some decorations over a doorway. I shooed him, not wanting him to settle in the nest, knowing that he would not survive indoors. I got him out the front door, and turned back to clean the mess he made with his nest.
