Variations of the same dream, had on the same night:
Dream One:
I am at this wedding and am staying in the apartment of the bride and groom. It has two levels. There is a girl who lives there also, who kind of looks like me when I was her age. There are spirits in the place. Instead of being afraid of them, the three just live with it. The girl has an eerie connection to the spirits. I want to save her from them, but they don't try to hurt her, and she seems happy.
The bride and groom come up from downstairs and they are carrying wads of bloody towels. I ask if they are hurt. They inform me that it is nothing, and rather nonchalantly tell me that the jaguar is crying blood. I go downstairs and see a tapestry hanging on the wall that features a jaguar on it. Other little things keep happening, but the couple and the girl just go about their business.
It is the night of the wedding, and there is a new ghost who appears, an old black man, and he is hanging out with the little girl. The mother of either the bride or groom can see him, and says things like: "oh, that weirdo is still here." I think how rude she is being because he can hear her, and he isn't even doing anything odd, mean or haunting, he and the little girl are just playing. I'm inside at the party watching the little girl outside playing with the fireflies and spirits.
Dream Two:
Brian and I live in this apartment, and there are spirits there also. Books keep moving, and the paint is peeling off the walls in whole sheets, almost as though the paint were posters.
Dream Three:
Brian and I are living with some other people in a house, and there are spirits there also. Things move. Each time I get more and more anxious, and am looking for a way to remove the spirits.
