Years unknown
"Bottle-Cap Monster"
[This nightmare is the first dream I can recall.]My parents are having a party downstairs. There is a lot of noise. I am in bed. Everything gets really quiet. I wonder why. I go to the top of the stairs and look down. It is then that I see it -a Monster, dome shaped, as wide as the staircase, as fat as it is wide, and as tall as the stairway. Its surface is entirely covered with beer-bottle caps. It is silent. It just seems to glide or float up the stairs. I run away.
"The Big Bad Wolf"
[The 2nd nightmare and 2nd dream I can recall. Most of it lost.]There is a girl in the room. She is about my age, probably a little younger. There was talk of The Wolf coming around. Suddenly, The Wolf pops its head in the window. [Even though we are on the second floor.] I think I surprise myself by not panicking. I get the girl (and I think someone else too, an adult woman maybe) and go into the next room and close the door.
"Flying"
[This is the first flying dream I can recall.]I find myself flying at a pretty good altitude. I am way above the houses and trees. I am cruising along at a comfortable pace. I have no trouble with the wind in my face. There is nothing blocking the wind, but I have no trouble. I have no fear at all. I love it. I fly over an area a few blocks from my home, where there are train tracks. The tracks are in a wide field that is about 30 feet lower than the ground where the houses sit. [Two things happened. I'm not sure which was first.] I lose altitude and land in someone's back yard. I realize I'm in my underwear. I can't get back up into the air. I can't fly anymore. I don't know how. [I'm not sure I would have wanted to.] I wonder how I am going to get home.
"Alone"
I am at party in the home of one of my Uncles. All the usual Aunts and Uncles are there. Something scares me. It had something to do with a door which I think leads to the basement. [Probably a monster coming up.] I run to one of the adults. As soon as I reach him, he vanishes. I run to another. The same thing happens, and so on until I am there alone with the thing that I feared, whatever that was."Landing"
[First falling dream I can recall.]I am in some kind of huge warehouse. I'm being chased. I'm on some kind of catwalk. I fall off. While falling, I decide that there must be something to break my fall. I look down. There is a pile of empty cardboard boxes. I land on them. They break my fall.
