I dreamed that Mom was hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our house in the Hill Country, and had invited about a hundred people. There were these crazy twenty-somethings running around, a few pairs of best friends who had performed a spell on themselves that melded traits from each into the other, so they could be closer than ever. Two of them were girls who WOULD NOT get out of my bathroom. All they were doing was talking, and I really needed to take a shower before dinner was on the table.
Guests kept coming, and they kept trying to use my bathroom, when there were three other bathrooms in the house. And I'm slinking around all greasy haired, trying to find my clothes and get my shower. Then I find that my sister has taken out all the things I'd gathered and put them back in my room and is showing people to my bathroom to use. I got so mad at her I grabbed her shoulders and started yelling in her face, but I couldn't yell. Then I realized she'd done the meld spell with her best friend, so to get back at them all, I said the counter-spell and they all fell into their individual selves.
While they were sorting that out, I seized my chance, grabbed my stuff, got to the bathroom, locked the door... only the lock wouldn't hold, and people kept trying to get in. My mom told me to let them, that I needed to come help her, anyhow. So I went to go help, figuring I'd do whatever it was as quick as I could. There was an antique bathtub full of hermit crabs and empty shells decorating the living room, and the bigger crabs kept trying to climb out over a pile of shells banked up against the back of the tub, so I spent a few minutes getting all the shells evened out so they couldn't reach. I figured that would buy me enough time to get a quick shower in.
I stomped back to my bathroom, determined to kick everyone out and get my darn shower. Only to find that my mom had seated three of the oldest family members at little tables in there, and was putting their dinner out for them. One of them told me I needed to get out of those pajamas and get ready for dinner, so I poked around for my red, white, and blue shirt with the stars on it, and slunk away to my room to change. My shower was just not to be. Then I woke up.

World's Strangest Theme Park ~ 10/7/2015
I dreamed that Bones was actually a witch. See, the wizarding schools in America had all been closed for decades, and when the UK realized this, Hogwarts set up a school for adult beginners, and Brennen got her letter.
It wasn't that she wasn't brilliant, but the lab she solved crime in, and her multiple degrees, were an unconscious magical projection that even she believed in. As she learned to control her magic, the lab coats and machinery all disappeared, leaving a thin 20-something woman, popping her gum and wearing short shorts and a yellow and orange hoody with teddy bear ears.
So we all went to an amusement park in the heart of London. My best friends and their two boys joined us, and we played a game that was like skee ball with bean bags and slingshots. Certain targets on an old Victorian haunted house were worth different points. The weather vane was worth the most. After every round, a big scraper would clear out the bean bags. The older boy was climbing on the contraption, and before we could scold him off of it, the scraper started. It knocked him down into the bean bag hopper, but a man standing nearby jumped forward and snatched him out before he could be crushed. We were so grateful.
We all took the tickets we'd won and went to do something else. We ended up at a Disney Robin Hood live reenactment, that had gotten mashed up with the Bugs Bunny What's Opera Doc reenactment. And there were also some swans. We watched that for a while, then we went to play this game where you used safety ropes to navigate around the walls of the attic in my grandparents' old house. One person would have to hug the walls and attach the rope to the next tie off point, so everyone could follow, holding onto the rope, and not fall through the holes in the floor.
After that, we went and rested in the trivia room, where you could win tickets by being the first to answer questions correctly. I don't remember the questions, but the first answer was J K Rowling, the second was Maya Angelou, and the third, which I was the first and only person to guess, was Willa Cather.
Then we took our tickets to get prizes, and I wanted to use mine for some tadpoles. There was a big tank, with tadpoles and goldfish, and the tadpoles were colored like bright guppies or betas, showing what color frog they'd grow into. There were red-orange ones, and green ones with a distinctive brown and cream stripe on their sides, but those grew into salamanders. There was a weird, pale yellow sort of water lizard that looked like a skeleton with skin and find. But I really just wanted a blue frog tadpole, and spent hours trying to catch one. The sun went down, and the lights shut off, and I couldn't see the colors any more, and then I woke up.

Happy Birthday, with Beethoven ~ 10/6/2015
I dreamed I threw my twelve year old sister a Beethoven birthday party using a kit I bought online. It included two Beethoven CDs, a big sack of apples, a soldering iron and some prototype computer boards I'd need to fix, along with schematics, and a coupon for a local opera troupe that would perform using the CDs as accompaniment.
All our friends and family came, and everyone had a good time. I rescued two blue and green birds who got trapped in Momo's house, and took them to a mall that wanted to start a bat colony, because the birds became bats at some point. My sister announced that she was going to get her Masters degree at Pitt, which was in Boston. Their mascot was a green teddy bear. Then I woke up.
