Rule of the Cats
Sarah Gerszewski
My dream was about a girl named Zoey. She had just gotten to a new school, but it was pretty much ruled my cats. The cats were all over the school and there was a king and queen. A cat seemed to like her after she climbed a tree. There was a bowl of peas sitting next to the king and queen of the cats, but she hated peas. The king and queen tried to make her eat them, but she refused. Out of nowhere, her cat jumped down and ate the peas making Zoey no longer have to eat them.
PERSON- The book says I can understand things easily. It says I’m calm and I’m quickly moving toward my goals. It may say I need to study more or not judge a book by its cover. If the book is closed, it means I'm mysterious. It stands for wisdom, intellect, information and wisdom.
PLACE- Being in a school could mean I have a feeling I'm not smart enough. It could also mean I need to study more. If I am running away it could mean I don't like to try new ideas or there is a lesson I need to learn.
ANIMAL- Seeing a cat could mean good or bad news. If there are thousands of cats it could mean I have too much going on in life and i don't know what to do. Seeing the cats playing means i need to show more of my playful side. But if the cat bites, it could mean that I feel threatened.
THING-To see a pea means there are problems in life that are small, but annoying. That could mean I'm annoyed about school or family. It could be so many different things.
My dream could mean many things, but I believe it meant I'm quickly moving towards my goals, but I still need to study. There's too much going on in my life and I'm lost, but annoyed at the little things.

Erik’s Day At The Field
Erik Peterson
My drawing takes place at Kauffman Stadium the home of the Kansas City Royals baseball team. I'm at the game with my family and for some reason they let us bring our dog. I also have a basketball with me. All of us were eating seeds and enjoying the beautiful day for baseball and our seats are 2 sections to the right of the home dugout on the first base side if u were looking at it from the field.
PLACE- Kauffman Stadium is one of the most beautiful stadiums in all of baseball and it just so happens it is where my favorite team plays. To dream about baseball represents contentment and peace of mind. It's scoreboard is one of the most dynamic shaped scoreboards in all sports because it is shaped like a crown. The atmosphere of the fans is crazy they are never quit and when the other team is up to bat good luck focusing on the ball because you will only be able to think of the fans screaming behind you. With 40,000 people screaming it's one of the biggest rushes ever.
ANIMAL- My dog Abby she is a chocolate lab she is 10 years old. She was a gift for my 2nd oldest brothers graduation. Seeing a dog in a dream resembles intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection and fidelity. Or it may mean that someone around you that has these qualities. It can also mean that you have a skill you have ignored and forgotten. So Abby is sitting next to me at the game and she is a Royals fan herself she has a Royals shirt on and by whenever they get a hit she goes crazy and doesn't stop barking.
THING- I had a basketball with me because it was the World Series therefore that means basketball was coming up soon. To see a basketball in your dream means that you need to make the first move and that you also need to focus on your goals. My goal is to someday be in the World Series playing because baseball it truly my life i would do anything to be around or play baseball my whole life.
PERSON- Seeing your own family in a dream represents security, warmth and love. Nothing is better than watching baseball with your family. Especially when it is the Kansas City Royals. My mom loves baseball my dad loves baseball my brothers love baseball and more importantly I love baseball.

The Cougar
Noah Martinez
In my dream I woke up early and went out to go to my combine, but I encountered someone I have seen in my dreams many times. It was who I call the skeleton man. He isn’t a bad guy, but he was punished to look the way he does for eternity. As I got to the cornfield, I couldn’t find my combine. After about an hour of searching I found it on the other end of the field. After getting into it I went to grab the key. It was gone! After I looked in the little crevice between the door and seat I found it. I had started to do my duties and combine the field, then I noticed that there was something laying on the ground. I had got out to go move it so I could continue harvesting, and noticed that it was a trash bag. I was just going to move the trash bag over to my corn silo when a baby cougar popped out! It had ran over to me in a hurry and I didn't know what to do so I just stood there. It had just walked around me then sat next to me. His actions were just like a dog, I said “Go over there” and it walked over to where I pointed. After I said a few more commands, I went and got back into the combine. The cougar had climbed up the ladder and just sat next to me. After I finished my rounds the cougar just sat and looked at me. I had got out and went to find it some food. After I got it some food I went inside and it pushed its way into the house. I watched some tv for a while, then I heard a noise and I looked around, it was someone talking and I looked around to see if someone had broken in. Then the cougar looked at me and started talking. It said,”watch what you do, or one day you will hurt yourself.” Then I woke up.
Place - Field - This means that I have freedom and I am willing to do my own things by myself.
Person - Skeleton Man - This means that I haven’t completely made and that it is going to come to something much bigger.
Thing - Food - This means that I am pertaining healthy eating.
Animal - Cougar - This means that I feel power, grace, and raw emotion.

The Creepy Clown
Kayla McMahon
In my dream I was driving with my friend and we had some car troubles but we were out in the middle of nowhere. We were walking to try find some help and we heard some weird bird noises. We came across some bushes and peaked through them. What we saw was a clown standing in front of an old abandoned mansion. With a huge gate. On the doors of the gate were two peacocks. And the clown was holding a bottle of something.

Varsity Starting Spot
Ethan Moore
For this dream project, I dreamt that the Larimore football went to rugby and played the game we played. But on kickoff I went and hit the guy receiving the ball, then the ball flew in the air as the receiver fell. I was still on the my feet and right before the ball came down I picked from the sky and ran it in for a touchdown. My coach Mr. Triplett cheered me on the whole way to the end zone with the team. I was awarded at the end of the game a Pizza Hut pizza all to myself, and the scout player of the week. This dream also included our park river game with a horse, and park river return man. We did our usual bear kick middle, then spread out in our formation. Caleb said “ready”, the referee blew his whistle, we were ready to wreck some Aggies. Caleb kicked the football high and far back to the returner, that for second looked like a horse. I ran my heart out and got the return man, I felt a polar bear when I i hit him the ball went up and Elijah got the ball before it hit the ground. Elijah was in shock that the ball was in his hands, but before he could think he started to sprint to be the end zone. That was it Elijah had scored because I hit the horse like a polar bear.
PRESON- Coach represents that I need to be more self disciplined.
PLACE- Town represents signs of warmth, compassion, and sociable.
THING- Pizza Hut-
ANIMAL- Bear represents independence, strength, death, renewal, and resurrection.

The Midnight Road in Atlanta
Dylan Franklin
A white van with black windows, black tires and a license plate that say “Jax” is driving into Atlanta, Georgia. It is about to go underneath a dark, but new concrete bridge. There was nobody else in the picture except for the young man driving and the dog in the van. The picture is a van on a divided highway with the big city in the horizon. There is grass on both sides of the highway with a concrete barrier in the middle of the two highway. There is a bridge over the highway before the city.
For this dream project I dreamed that I was on an open highway on the way into Atlanta in a white van with black windows, which I am driving alone with my dog. We were driving fast. There was nobody around which was surprising considering it's a big city. No matter how far we drove it felt like we were going nowhere.
ANIMAL- Dog- Someone or something in my life. Something that associates me with one quality like a specific event, or real life thing. A dog in trouble or sick can mean that I am overlooking a responsibility in life. An aggressive dog can mean that I feel threatened. If you have a well trained dog in real life it can make you feel protected and loyal.
THING- Automobile- It means that your life is moving forward. If your car is being stolen it means that someone or something it's trying to compromise your integrity.
PERSON- Yourself- You usually make yourself a better person in your dreams.
PLACE- Highway-To see a highway in your dream means to have some sense of direction and your life’s path.

Michelle’s McDermott
In my dream, my friend Kadin and I were walking through a meadow, talking about the music festival where we met, and all of a sudden, a dark cloud surrounds him, and he disappeared in it, then I feel myself get hit over the head with something, and I go into a third-person view to see myself being dragged up the stairs, then forced to climb a ladder and up a set of stairs into a room that looked like the floors were covered in water and the walls and ceiling were mirrors. The men who were dragging me threw me on the floor then locked the door behind them. I realized a moment later why I was brought here. I open my eyes and look up to see myself, a sword in one hand, and the other extended, offering me a sword. I take the sword, and I strike at the...other...me, and then I wake up.
