The weird dream thread

[KyleEl]

I saw a bunch of lime green school buses that looked like they had been in terrible wrecks.

I was at the beach another night and saw the woman who runs the checkout desk at the college library carrying her groceries to her apartment. Her husband was helping.

[KyleEl]

I stopped at a convenience store/gas station on the way to the beach. I was relieved for some reason the car wasn't overheating, as that happened to me one time when I stopped at a regular gas station. Then it was overheating. Fortunately, the clerk knew what to do.

Another night, I was having computer trouble and someone pulled a phonograph needle out of this great big machine.

I keep having dreams in which my parents play an important part. Then I wake up and it takes a few minutes to remember they've both passed on 5 years ago.

[KyleEl]

I had computer trouble and instead of calling tech support went to a large university where a bunch of other people who had a different problem were all taken into one room while I waited in another for someone to be available to help me. Later I walked across campus and passed the former chapel, which was so nice I couldn't understand why it wasn't still the chapel.

[KyleEl]

I went to the mountains and ate at a restaurant I had eaten at many times, except it doesn't exist.

There was some problem I was able to solve that involved squirting a hose. It had nothing to do with water.

I hate that my memories are so clear when I wake up and then I forget to write anything down. Eventually I can't remember anything.

I can fly in my dreams.

The woman who sometimes plays the organ at my church asked me to adapt certain Christmas carols to tunes that are not normally used for them. As I was doing this, I discovered the rolls of paper towels I was using for this were black and my work couldn't be seen. No one had regular sheets with the five lines for each line I would normally use for this purpose. Not only that but black paint got all over one of my shirts that was too nice to just throw out.

On a street in a neighborhood where I walk sometimes, several historic white churches were being moved.

The night after I saw "Emily Owens" for the first time I dreamed an accounting firm where I started work put me in the basement which floods after it rains, and it had just rained. But there was another basement below that, and they sent me there.

[KyleEl]

At my church money for the poor has been put in yellow drink cups during the past month. I dreamed Anthony Anderson (I saw him in "Exit Wounds") was working on a project with yellow drink cups.

[KyleEl]

After that beeping this morning, I couldn't remember anything except that it was a nice dream.

I had a weird dream last night:

I was riding around the neighborhood and was wondering why we don't go down a particular street and I went down that street, turns out that my dad was not dead but alive and hiding under a false name and living in a house on that street. I was angry at him and yelled at him "How can you be alive because I saw your dead body at the hospital and the funeral home? Do you have any idea what your family has done to us since you 'died?'"

He chuckles and says "It was all an elaborate joke and that's why I always had you go another way to go home that way you never knew I was alive!." My special uncle who is one of the pastors who does a lot of things for my mom and me looks at my dad and says "John, how could you put Anne and Alysia through that? I was at your memorial service, that was so wrong and now they are losing their home because of you?" "I am sorry I didn't really know I swear" he says.

That's when I wake up startled and shaken because it is almost the 3rd year since his death and I know for a fact that my dad is indeed dead not living on another street in my town.

I once dreamt I won the lottery. The dream was so vivid and so real, that when I first woke up, I didn't realize it had been a dream. It felt so good not to have to worry about bills.

Then I realized it had been a dream. I was so crushed that the whole morning was ruined.

I had a weird work related dream last night. Dreaming about work is not the way I want to spend my sleeping hours.

[KyleEl]

I dreamed Maze was a music director of some kind at the college where I live, except he didn't look like Maze and the college didn't look like the college.

I also dreamed I was at a railroad crossing watching a fast train go by. Then I heard a slow train coming on another track. Only it was a truck on a parallel road.

[SoCal]

I dreamt about getting on an airplane last night, which is weird because I hate flying and haven't flown in more than 10 years. In the dream I wasn't afraid.....I don't think....

I had a dream a month ago where I was a pilot of a steam punk style airship. It was merely a transportation vessel, but I was allowed to throw people I didn't like off the ship with no parachute. I wouldn't mind continuing that one.

[AntiArbitrator]

Yes, you are in the right place!

A rich man named Abdullah fixed my glasses with crayons tied together (in other words, a temporary fix) when the part that goes behind the ear broke off. It was Sunday and I couldn't find any opticians open. Actually, I had seen an optician in a large store earlier but there was no longer an optical department when I needed it. I ended up walking across four-lane highway to get to another one and there wasn't one.

[KyleEl]

A historic house had all its gutters connected to one place where rain created a waterfall. Although it wasn't raining.

I continue to have very vivid dreams in which my mom and dad (both deceased) are VERY present and I'm finding that when I wake up I have to remember they are both gone.

I have those too. Usually it's just one or the other.

The dream about both of them I remember most clearly is one where I was in a house which didn't look like the one I live in, but I did live there, and they had gotten rid of all of my stuff. In that case, I was relieved to wake up.

Tanmi tells me I don't qualify for those reality shows, but I think I do. If I cut down on my computer time and my TV time, I might be able to change that.

Last night, I dreamt I was back in the home I grew up in, standing in the front yard, and all of my old neighbors were looking out their windows at me. I couldn't see them, but I could FEEL that they were staring at me... a weird sense of paranoia!!!!!

[KyleEl]

There was a guest book with pages like a yellow legal pad, but bound like a normal book. On the right there were words written by various people, but all in the same handwriting. But on the left were the original words, in the handwriting of the person who wrote them.

Dennis Franz, Arnold Schwarznegger and Tim Allen have all been in separate dreams of mine but I don't remember what they did.

[KyleEl]

Aeryn was driving a car where I was a passenger and I kept changing the radio to my kind of music to get on her nerves.

[avp60685]

I dreamed that my dad was screaming at me about a $3,000 phone bill! I woke up startled and confused by it!

The distributors of the Garfield comic strip sent out souvenirs to their most devoted fans after the cat was dropped as a character in the strip.

There is actually a version of the strip online that doesn't have the cat.

[KyleEl]

I dreamed a celebrity who looked like Whitney Houston was afraid to fly and when she got on aplane and the only way to feel comforted was to email a particular person, she wasn't allowed to use any electronic devices.

Another night, or maybe the same one, I dreamed several people at my church had started talking like these pop singers who have these metallic-sounding voices when they sing.

I also dreamed, after I had already seen that it was getting light, that I woke up to find it was dark.

[KyleEl]

I was helping a man who hosts a TV series on a local station put something on a shelf when I realized I hadn't washed my hands. So I went down a really long hall and there were hundreds of urinals in the rooms on the left. Finally I reached the end of the hall and it was dark, and I heard a Conrail-type train horn. Since it was dark, I couldn't see the number on the engine, but I could see the engine. I heard a another train horn walked across the hall and it was day and all these people were yelling about a drunk driver on an interstate highway who had caused all these wrecks. It looked like an action movie with all the wrecked cars. What I heard was not a train.

[KyleEl]

I found where I had written one of them down and lost it again.

[KyleEl]

Still haven't found it but now I can't remember my dreams.
