Flash Back/ Flash Forward

I've been having strange dreams lately that leave me waking with an odd feeling. I don't remember the details of them, though. Last night, I had several dreams, but can only remember a couple.

I can't remember the sequence of any of it, or how it played through. I just remember... A tropical beach, not full of tourists and all. It wasn't very sandy; More dirt, trees, rocks, et cetera. It was a hike, or something similar. I was with family. Not the little cousins. I was with dad's side of the family. I don't think I was talking to any of them. We were just going on through the jungle/forest (not sure which, maybe a combination). Everyone was starting to move ahead of me. I had to jump down this large rock to continue on the trail. I felt like I didn't belong somehow.

I saw a picture. It was displayed... I don't know where. I think it was pinned up somewhere. I saw the picture; it was the family on the same trail a year ago (or more). The people who stood out were Izzy, Mayra and Joanna, and Kathleen and Kristie (don't know why they were there, but they were). I wasn't in that picture. I guess that's why I felt that I shouldn't have been there at all.

We stopped moving forward and just walked around the area. I went out of the jungle/forest and walked along the beach. The day was kind of cool... February weather. It was early morning, the sky was cloudy, and it was pretty windy but not cold. I was walking along, climbing over and around rocks. I felt alone. Out of nowhere, a projector played a video in mid-air. It was when I had long, wavy hair, back in high school. It kind of looked like Shakira's Unplugged, only not so red and big. I was just with the family, feeling out of place and awkward, trying to get away. My hair was mussed and in my face.

.::.Edit.::. This is the best pic I have on the computer that shows what my hair sort of looked like:


It was darker, more curls, slightly longer. That stood out in the dream.::.

My second dream... I was living in a house... I had kids. I think I had two boys and a girl. I don't know, they weren't the major part of my dream but I just remembered them now as I was typing. All I remember was that I lived in a large house with small rooms... wooden floors........ my room........... well, my room was in another room. My room was an armoir. I went into a virtually empty room and when I opened the armoir, there was another room inside. I walked into what looked like an attic. Although the room was small, it was very comforting. The first thing that stood out was a window at the opposite end of the room, in the bathroom. I had my own bathroom with a shower, and my own bed. The colors... I remember a lot of dark browns and dark reds, but there wasn't a dark feeling to it. It was nice. I don't know. I think one of my sons wanted to come in or something, and I didn't want him to so I just went out and told him to go someplace else.

So I can't remember what exactly happens in my dream... I just wake up with the feelings they leave.
