dreams that have woken me up abruptly and stayed forever in my brain:

1. getting thistles tattooed on my: chin, back of my head (just now)
2. virgin mary statue coming out of my chest (paris)
3. mama dating younger asian dude, with certificate to prove it (paris)
4. some dog named biscuit talking to me on the couch (bard)
5. nailing jaime-alexis into a wooden coffin, alive, in a prom dress (high school)
6. being stuck in some sketchy, horror movie style doctor's office (during parents' divorce)
7. behind the steering wheel of car with no clue how to drive (recurring junior high/high school nightmare)
8. getting to school first day of school with no supplies (omg, anxiety dream of my life)
9. getting kidnapped by fat, pimply teenage boys in a white van (recurring elementary school nightmare)
