Tattoos done by piercers?

So I had a dream last night that I went to my friend Zak to get a tattoo which is odd because he is a piercer not a tattoo artist. I went in and was getting everything set up but then decided I didn't want it. It was odd. 

swimming in the ocean

I had a dream last night that I was swimming in the middle of the ocean.  I had something to keep me floating but I don't know what it was.  A ship came near but I ignored at.  It felt like this had happened before and the ships had never noticed me and I was okay with that.  This time though someone on the ship did notice me and jump off and swam after me.  He started talk to me and I told him to leave me alone.  He was swimming toward and I tried to swim away but I was afraid that I would loose whatever was helping me float.  He got closer and closer and just when he was about to grab me, I woke up.

Car

In my dream or dreams last night my car quit running. I remember looking at the dashboard when I tried to get it to start again. I don't know if it was later in the same dream or another dream but my car went off the road into a park. I was scared I would hit trees or a flagpole. I tried to push my car back up to the road but it was down a hill and when I pushed it up the hill as much as I could it would roll back down. I was scared it would hit me or roll further and hit the trees. 

Parade

Almost forgot about this. Had a dream last night that I was walking in a parade. My best friend D was there walking as part of a group that was in front of me and my friend B was walking with me. B and I kept falling behind and eventually we were with a totally different group. Every time we fell behind it was okay though because we knew some of the people in the group we wound up in. 

Sneaking a smoke

In this dream last night I was at the renfaire. I saw two of my friends, W and D, who are on cast there. They were trying to sneak a smoke since they are not allowed to be seen smoking while in character. I caught them and they told me to watch for anyone else coming up. Then my ex, J walks by also smoking. The weirdest part about the whole thing is that so far as I know W has never smoked and D only rarely did and he stopped that some time ago. Maybe I just really want a cigarette. I've done pretty good since I quit in December, but I really don't know what else that could be about. 

Once Upon a Time

I have been watching the first season of the show on Netflix and I think it has gotten to me.  I had a dream last night that I remembered, though there were no pictures.  In this dream my friend C was the evil queen.  I don't know if I was any particular character or just someone the evil queen was out to get because that is what evil Queens do.  In my dream I was at the pizza place waiting for a take out order and the evil queen C tried to steal my car.  I woke up ready to jump up and stop her from taking it.
This dream is somewhat strange because I haven't seen C in quite a while and have only talked to her once recently.  She isn't any more evil than anyone else I'm friends with, in fact I'd say she in considerably less evil than some.  She may be a bit more queenly than some I suppose.  I really have no idea why she is the one my subconscious picked to be the evil queen but there she was.
Some people may be confused how I can remember dreams like this without any kind of pictures to go with them and it is kind of hard to explain.  I suppose it is like what most of us imagine being blind would be like.  I know what is going on and have feeling about what is going on but I don't have pictures to associate with any of it.  I would say it is like reading a book that you really relate to but I know a lot of people form pictures of what happens in stories, especially stories they get really into.
Hopefully I will have more dreams to relate on here but as of now that is the only one I have had that I remember.

The first images

The first dream I remember having a distinct image in was a little over a week ago.  In the dream I blew out one of the tires on my car and so I pulled into a parking lot to inspect the damage.  The first image was of my tire.  Its hard to explain what this was like to people who have normally dream that are all pictures.  I guess the closest I could come to it would be if you remember Ren and Stimpy and how that had the hyper detail images.  It would be like if one image from a visual dream was like that.  While I was looking at my tire a truck with a trailer backed into my car.  This was the second image I had was the trailer hitting the back of my car.  That was when I woke up.  As is pretty much always the case for me, the feeling I experienced in the dream were very much with me when I awoke.  I was in a panic trying to tell the guy backing up that he was going to hit me and I awoke with my heart rate increased and feeling scared and panicky.

Shortly after that I had another dream that has an image in it.  I was being kidnapped by two guys and they were forcing me to go upstairs in this hotel in an elevator.  When we got to the floor they wanted they got off the elevator before me and I tried to push the button to close the door.  That was the single image I had in that dream.  I saw the elevator buttons.  After that they gabbed me and dragged me out the elevator and I woke up, once again feeling scared and panicky.

I think I remember the scary dreams more than any other because the emotions take more time to diffuse. Since I have the blogger app on my phone hopefully I can try to start getting down my dreams when I first wake up.
