I never thought that parenthood would consist of telling my kids pouring catnip into the water bowl so our cat can have tea time was a bad idea, but that was my day today.

So, parents of Orange County, what is your moment of "nothing prepared me for this weird part of parenthood"?

Days like today, National Siblings Day, where everyone is posting pictures of their siblings on social media really make me miss Sarah and Cosima. It also makes me miss Alison, Helena and Adele, which is weird since none of them have been real people. Although, the whole thing with Adele does make me wonder if I really have a bio sister out there somewhere. Does anyone know how one would go about looking for long lost family members?

[Blocked from Eliot Waugh]

It occurred to me recently, while going over my planner for the rest of the year that this summer will be mine and Eliot's four year anniversary. I can't even bloody believe it. I've never been in a relationship this long before. I honestly can't believe it's been almost four years.

It's been a bit since I had any dreams. Last one dealt with me taking out my enemies. This one? Has me becoming chief of my tribe and them practically worshipping me like a goddess. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Alright well hopefully my friends and I in the Dreams realized that bringing strange teenagers back to the Hostel is a BAD IDEA after this. The last dream I had ended with us interrupting a robbery when we went out to get food and we 'rescued' another teenager from his criminal parents. Or at least that's what we thought we were doing with Topher. Turns out? Topher was the bad guy all along - a vampire if you can believe it and somehow immune to the flames from my Fistigons once I finally got control over the flamethrowing part of them there. We got into a fight and I ended up getting knocked out - AGAIN for a disturbing trend in my Dreams - only to come to in time to see Karolina's blood making Topher explode when he tried to drink it. I guess that's what happens when you try to drink the blood of someone who's made out of light.

Right. Don't mess with a vampire. That's the take away from last night's dream. Even though I averted a crisis, it was a near miss, and I'm honestly surprised dream!Harry kept his composure.

I've been trying to ignore my dreams for months, trying to keep myself awake much too long, but I guess eventually the thing I was trying to avoid would happen. I'd hoped these new dreams would not repeat all that death and destruction, and it did all happen ... differently.

But it still happened. The Sector 7 plate still fell, all those people still died.

I keep hoping that common sense will prevail but then someone uses Gorilla Glue in their hair and is then surprised at how big of a mistake it was.

I do not have the same hair care needs, however, I would imagine that nobody is keeping Gorilla Glue near their hair products. If you do, you should consider moving it.

The Gorilla Glue Challenge is apparently trending...I've now seen three patients for it...you will be sent to a hospital and have to explain to everyone why your hand or hair is glued to your head and that yes; glue actually works. Yes it will be difficult to remove..and yes you will get collective exasperated stares from all of us.


I can't believe I have to say this but your PSA: Don't gorilla glue stuff to your face/skin/head/eyes whatever.


and if you do, don't be shocked if the interns want to take pictures with you.

Oh fun. I have my own personal Warden. A big gun assigned to sneak up on me in the dead of night and try to startle me into breaking the laws of magic as per the White Council, so they can bring justice reigning down on me. Because I did break the Laws once, to save my own skin. But that's neither here nor there. Morgan wants me to fail, he wants to roast me.

And it doesn't escape notice he's more than capable of the murders I'm investigating. But then, technically, so am I. So that's not really much to go on. I just really don't like the guy, and he doesn't like me. It's clearly a mutual dislike. Problem is he's in a position of authority over me and one slip up could bring the Council down on me.

I doubt I'd get a slap on the wrist and a Warden looking over my shoulder a second time.

Dreams suck. Looks like my step-mother got a bit paranoid and everything went down hill from there. Guess I should apologize to my boyfriend for not waking up when he tried to wake me. I'm still not sure how someone wakes up from being dead to begin with.

Though, I have a sharp ass spear as a souvenir from dying now.

It's a little late, but I woke up to the scorpion from the previous dream, and the envelope with payment from the client in it, on the bedside table. I guess I can use that money to buy Maggie an extra Christmas present or two.

No thought of the scorpion in my latest dream. Just a steak sandwich and fries, and the best ale in town at a place called Mac's. And a reporter who looks suspiciously like my daughter's mother putting the moves on me, to get information about the murder. All things considered, an anticlimactic dream, and yet so intense it felt real. As they do.

Fucking fairy bitch. Using my eye to spy on us! El and I had to talk in nerd code just so that she wouldn't realize that we'd figure out what she was doing. We really need to figure out a way to kill her, but all the books on poison and fairies have disappeared from our library. El managed to locate a creature, The Great Cock, who gave us a quest to bring back magic. So now we have to figure out how to get rid of the fairies and figure out how to get these keys that will bring back magic. What next? We don't need anything else piled on top of all of that.

Oh yeah, and Fen has lost her fucking mind. Yes, that's partly my fault.

Finally met with the client who called me in the first dream I had. She wants me to track down her husband. Recently got into magic, and has been missing for three days. She gave me $500, a picture, and a dead scorpion on a string. So yeah. That's interesting.

So I'm back from getting Inari and Emma settled in LA, signing the paperwork for the office space for Raith productions, all those responsible type things. Now to try to convince Kat and Enzo to give me back our bear and talk Harry into moving into the compound with me since I'm not used to living on my own get settled back in my house.

So, part of these dreams, so far they're still dealing with tribes. Looks like we went up against a tribe of blood thirsty men and I nearly died. My only saving grace was my mentor. I'm not even sure how to take these dreams. They're pretty out there.

The dream I had last night was super intense, but also kind of anticlimactic. Dream me does this thing called a soulgaze, and I can see into a person's soul. Down side is, what is seen can never be unseen. And the other person sees into my soul too. Like the true essonce, what's real beneath all the masks and costumes we wear, all that bull shit just goes away.

Some big bad mobster or whatever offered me money, lots of money, not to investigate the death from my last dream. I turned him down, even though I wanted, and needed, the money. I don't accept bribes or whatever. I got out of the car and hopefully made it to my next appointment on time.

Well this was an interesting day - and not in a good way. I spent all day on the phone with my bank and with a company named Remitly that I'd never heard of before trying to get my money back after someone set up an account in my name and transferred almost 50000 dollars to someone I've never even heard of. They were able to reverse one of the charges but they're not sure about the other one yet.

I'm glad that I knew that waking up with injuries from our dreams was normal. Otherwise the massive scar on my abdomen would have been quite the shock.

[Private - Medical Community]

I am a liver transplant recipient and I expect that I need some regular monitoring and medication.

I also had radiation poisoning from diffusing a dirty bomb. I had minor side effects which has passed but the doctor in my dreams has said that it can have some long term effects.

Is there anyone who would be willing to take me on as a patient?

Moving across country is a feat! Everyone told me to give up my books and join this century with e-books, but no, thank you. I've had some of these books since I was a little girl. You can't get the smell of an old book through an IPAD. However, lugging them across country? Not so easy.

I'm May Parker. How is everyone today?

I guess I shouldn't of mentioned not dreaming. Also looks like I know where I'm from and that Andy is definitely short for something. Though, that something is definitely a doozy and I think I'll stick with Andy instead.

Now that I'm officially settled into my new home, I guess introductions are in order. So, hi. I'm Andy. No, that isn't short for Andrea or anything like that. It's just Andy. I'm a military brat who has moved around too much to even say where I was last.

Now that I'm in the OC I'll be working with the police force. Criminology is a passion of mine, has been all through college. So, the fact I get to put it to good use works wonders for me.

I see a lot of people talking about dreams. I had one last night that was so realistic I'm still trying to process it. I was working in an office, anxietized about how I was going to make rent, when a mailperson showed up. he was evidently a new guy on the route, and he was amused by the signage on my office door. Claimed I was a wizard, and after he left I got a phone call from a woman wanting me to investigate her husband's disappearance. And then I got a phone call from a detective on the police force wanting me to consult on a special interest case. I'm honestly still kind of WTFing about it.

No, really. I have no idea how to introduce myself. I'm just...me.

Name's Harry. Made the move from Chicago to work as an ER nurse. I start July 19, which gives me almost two weeks to get settled.

Right, so. About me. I'm forever 29. I like long walks on the beach and building miniature models in my spare tme. Oh, and playing video games with my kidlet. She's 8, and more like me than I care to admit.

Is that good? I hope that's sufficient because I really don't know what else to say.

Well, now, when I got paid with a stack of ones, a Christmas turkey, and box full of odds and ends, I didn't expect to find anything like this. In the bottom of the box, a few years old by the look of it, was a card with this website's name on it.

I didn't expect a place where people talk about dreams. Not at all. But it's interesting, at least, and makes good reading inbetween clients.

Last night was a great night. Good food. Good company. This morning I wake up with someone I did not know next to me. It was... a frightening experience to say the least.

This is ... rather frustrating.
