Dreaming about me
In the past week, I've had three different friends tell me they've had dreams about me. That's very odd, to say the least, but entertaining. Our friend David said in his dream, he took me to the prom, and I was crowned queen. That's so likely! I can picture it now. Oh, wait, no, that's a scene from Carrie. But...
Dreams
Sometimes I eat spicy food before I go to bed... [23 entries.]
I have glue in my hair
I had two health appointments last night and this morning: my follow-up sleep study to see how well I'm doing on my CPAP machine, and my follow-up cardiologist appointment to see how I'm doing after my surgery. I didn't manage to get all the glue washed out of my hair from the electrodes that were glued there for my sleep...
Vivid Dreams
The first dream I had was about a house that I owned with my brothers. We were renting it out to a friend of mine, and I found out that he had a dog, which was okay, but he was keeping it in the crawlspace beneath the house, which was not okay. So the whole dream was about going to...
Don't Leave the Baby Out in the Rain
I had a dream last night that I was babysitting for people I didn't know, and I accidentally left the baby out in the rain. Then the parents came home, and said, hey, where's the baby? And I went out and found it in the backyard. It was soaking wet, but in good shape. Although it was one gigantic fat...
A-Team Dreaming
I speculated the other day that I would, now that I'm working in XML directly in the tags, start having XML dreams like I used to about HTML. But no. The dream I had last night was about the new A-team. The team was me and a bunch of carny workers, driving around in a weird, beatup delivery truck, solving...
Sarah Michelle Gellar Dreams - Parts 2, 3, and 4
Okay, I've had three more dreams recently about Sarah Michelle Gellar. In the past, I've had reoccurring dreams and sex dreams, but never a reoccurring sex dream. This is very cool, and I hope it lasts. Actually, only one of these three new dreams -- the first -- was really a sex dream per se, and was very similar to...
Dream Fragments
I keep a pad of paper near my bedside so that I can write down vivid dreams if I have them. Sometimes, though, if I haven't quite shaken off the sandman, or if they aren't particularly memorable, I won't be able to fill in the details later - that's what's happened here. I can't remember the actual dreams from any...
The Sarah Michelle Gellar Dream
I had a dream where I was having sex with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Which is very weird, because she's not really my type. I wouldn't kick her out of bed, certainly, if she came up to me, and slid gracefully into my arms and squirmed around like she did in my dream. But she's not the first celebrity I'd pick...
Dying All Over Again
In the first dream I had one night, I was in my house, talking to my landlady down stairs when I realized the house was on fire. I ran upstairs to get my cat, and when I finally found her, I realized that I couldn't get back downstairs again. Just as I was catching on fire, I woke up. I...
The Snake Dream
My brother Todd handed me a pure white snake, assuring me it wasn't poisonous. I held onto it for quite some time, and it bit me several times. When I gave it back to him, I asked him whether I was okay, and he wouldn't answer, So I called poison control, who told me to go to the hospital. This...
The Gambling Dream
They were opening a brand new gambling hall in our neighborhood. Actually, the hall wasn't new, it was old, like a converted community center or something. For the grand opening, the band was playing, and I was in the band - I played a trombone. We sat along the sides of the entrance hall. I remember looking at the floor;...
Civil War Dream
I was dressed in a civil war costume. It was blue, so I must have been in the Union Army. I had a mustache. (Don't even laugh.) I and another dude in uniform were strolling through a market place. We strolled past a very beautiful women at a booth who was selling wool. I stopped to tap my cigar ash...
The Circus Dream
I was traveling with a circus, down a winding dirt road. It was a bright sunny day, and the grass was green. I was traveling in the cart with the puzzle girl, who twisted herself into a pretzel and got inside an ornate wooden puzzle box, which was carved on the sides and top in the shape of puzzle pieces....
Schoolboys on the Bus
In this dream, I was traveling on a Greyhound-like passenger bus, and I was sitting in the very back. In the front of the bus there was a whole group of private school boys with scrubbed, cherubic faces and neat short haircuts. They were dressed in identical uniforms; black pants and pure white shirts and ties. Except one young man's...
The Angel of Death Dream
A dream I had where I was so scared that I was afraid to get out of bed to go to go to the bathroom, at 29 years old. It started at an archeological dig, where we uncovered a huge skeleton of bird/reptile-like creature, about twice as large as a human. It looked like a human, with a reptile head...
The Clothesline Dream
I had a bizarre dream in which I had strung a clothes line from the gables of the roof of the house I live in now, right outside the kitchen window. And of course, I had just done laundry and hung all of my very favorite clothes, when a really violent storm blew up, and I frantically tried to get...
Reoccuring Contact Lens Dreams
In high school I got my first pair of contact lenses. That was pretty unusual at the time; people didn't wear them as much as they do now, and they were incredibly expensive. They also didn't have disposable lenses; you had to clean them and care for them and hope they lasted for a year or two. Because of the...
Reoccurring Dream: Mazes
Since I was young, I've had a reoccurring theme show up in my dreams: mazes. It's usually a familiar building; in high school it was the library I worked in; in college it was the dorm, since then it's been various apartment buildings and the places I worked. The building is familiar to me, but the layout is not; as...
Quicksand Dream
The first of two recent dreams about death... In the dream, I went downstairs to the basement, which looking back now, I think was the basement on South East Fourth Street from my childhood. Growing in the center of the floor was a plant; a weed, I thought, like a tiny tree. I went over to it to pull it...
Dodgeball God Dream
It's hard to remember exactly how this dream began, but I remember for some reason being on the top of a sign pole, out in the countryside. I was there with Hercules, him beiname of dodgeball with energy balls that could kill us. We were trapped, so we continued to do this for awhile, until Zeus came and rescued us;...
The Military Dream
In this dream, I was in a high-rise apartment or office building on an upper floor. It was dark, and I was there with a bunch of other people, none of whom I recognized. We were part of some military group, and we had some assignment or mission to carry out. We were putting on military gear, camouflage and helmets....
HTML Mark-Up Dream
If you remember the movie Fantasia, or even better, the movie they showed in high school, Donald Duck in MathMagic Land, where Donald was being chased by anthropomorphic numbers, you have some idea what this dream was like. Basically, it was my job to place appropriate (?!) HTML mark-up tags on everything; i.e. the physical world: doorknobs, light switches, window...
The Dream Where Prince Died
In this dream, I found out that Prince had just died, and I was terribly upset, because I felt that we would be lost without his music. We (Me and who else? I don't know) decided to go to his funeral. While there, I ran into someone who was explaining how he died; this gets really abstract, and yet I...
