The weird dream thread

[KyleEl]

This is from last night.

The producer of a groundbreaking music video did it again. A work of art--a tower made up of toilet seats in the up position, among other things.

There was also something about snow that I looked at from up above and saw some sort of pattern.

And this is from another recent night. Veteran firefighters way up high on platforms squirted water on the rookies down below.

I may have mentioned on the cat thread that I once had a neighbor with two cats. Different members of the family had different names for the cats. The son said one cat was named Henry, so I named the other Henrietta thinking the one named Henry was male (before she had kittens). Besides, Henrietta looked like Gomer Pyle's cat Henrietta.

So I was living somewhere that didn't look familiar. A neighbor called for Henry. I saw Henrietta, from 40 years ago, run toward him.

Walter Cronkite was hitting on his CBS morning show co-star Jane Pauley.

Two nights in a row I have had such clear memories of what I dreamed. I even had three details I was going to put here. The problem is I don't write stuff down when I wake up. And by the time I remembered I hadn't done it, I couldn't remember what to write.

[KyleEl]

I do remember dreaming about the fiscal cliff debate.

I have been reading on newspaper web sites that they are close to a deal. I hope it works out.

[KyleEl]

I was over at the house next door where the cats live, only it was an older house and the woman was a lot younger. There were family memebers over there and they were not happy my leaves weren't being raked, and I said I wasn't going any faster.

And then the woman gave me a towel to cover a cup that belonged to Michael Jackson's doctor, saying she was tired of looking at that too.

[KyleEl]

Kelsey Grammer was a journalist and he took my seat in some big meeting.

There was something about a large building which might have been a church, but I can't remember it now.

Trust me when I say I woke up in the middle of the night and remembered all this clearly.

Another night:

An orange cat ran up a telephone pole across the street from my house. Okay, not that weird except I don't know any orange cats since my neighbors had one maybe five or six years ago.

I was in the mountains, but where I go there are no industries. Only tourist attractions. So in the dream I thought I was there but my parents drove me down a street I had never been on before, Highway 10, with lots of industries. I was disappointed I couldn't see the mountains, but it was foggy.

At one point I couldn't see mountains even though the fog lifted. Everything seemed flat, and still very industrial. There were two other highways numbers but I can't remember them now. Then I saw mountains again as we came close to the place where I usually stay, on what looks like an interstate. I knew it was time for breakfast but we couldn't eat there, at the place near where I stay, for some reason. One of the reasons was that my father wasn't dressed in such a way that he could go out in public. Maybe that meant he was still wearing pajamas.

I also remember another dream where I was with a group in the mountains and there was a celebrity named Rhoda--possibly Valerie Harper. I also remember severe weather warnings.

Other than that I'm drawing a blank even though it was all so clear when I woke up.

I am at my old house and I am sitting beside of my dad and we're watching Jeopardy together. All of the contestants are Asian young men and women and apparently they are singing their answers instead of stating them. My dad turns to me and says "You can sing way better than them because you are brighter than any of them" then he decides to turn it off and watch the Disney Cinderella from 1950 and when the song at the beginning "A dream is a wish your heart makes" he starts to whistle along to the tune and I immediately start singing along. I woke up wanting to hear my daddy whistling and to hear him talk again, I miss him terribly, I know that this new place is nice and all but I want my daddy back!

Clint Eastwood was running for President. He talked to a chair again. Who was sitting in it? Clint Eastwood!

[KyleEl]

A woman was substituting on the piano at a church I went to and she was really excited. My mother acted like her behavior was normal.

Another night a man I went to church with more than 30 years ago was objecting to praying out loud. Which is weird because he was one of the ones who used to do it all the time.

[SoCal]

Dang it all! Why do I keep having dreams where my parents are alive?

[KyleEl]

I was in a classroom and a woman sitting in front of me covered herself with a garbage bag which supposedly contained ants.

[KyleEl]

I was in a store like the Gay Dolphin in Myrtle Beach, which such items as Nik'l Nips, only it was really like a convenience store with gas pumps. It was an old building and everything was made of wood, but there was lots of great junk.

[KyleEl]

I dreamed I saw my neighbors' cat Sassy. She had one ear and it was in the middle of her head.

[mazeman]

I had a dream last night that I ran into this kid I was friends with from sixth grade... I had totally forgotten his name (really)! He was older too... looked like he might look now. He had to remind me of his name and remind me who our other friends were... who I forgot as well! It was bizarre!!!!!!

[KyleEl]

I dreamed I was shopping with my father and he was about to get an expensive jacket. But if he didn't I would be able to buy more stuff.

On another night I dreamed I was in one reality and elevator doors opened and I was in another reality.

[KyleEl]

Kristin Kreuk was having the same problems I was. She asked me, "Is a fractured hip contagious?"

[KyleEl]

This is real. After I returned home my cousin said she had some clothes she washed to return to me. I assumed she was talking about clothes I wore when I wasn't home. Rather than have my family go in a house that was a mess and figure out what clothes to get for me, I went ahead and wore clothes they lent me, some of which belonged to my uncle. I said I wanted them to go back to him.

These were clothes that were actually mine, and my uncle didn't want them. A few weeks after I returned home some of my clothes were missing and I hadn't realized it because I just assumed they were somewhere I hadn't looked. In fact, since my uncle didn't want them my cousin gave these clothes to charity without asking me.

So in the dream I found some of the missing clothes, but my mother said we were going to buy new clothes anyway.

[KyleEl]

I dreamed I saw my fourth grade teacher but now I've forgotten what she was doing.

[KyleEl]

I was in a room and saw a helicopter about to crash into the building. It didn't, but I called 911 anyway. The man who investigated was a retired minister who used to go to my church and died years ago. And I had to move some of my stuff out of the room.

[KyleEl]

I almost jumped off a second-floor railing but someone grabbed me before I jumped. I can't recall now what specifically was weird.

[KyleEl]

The husband of one of my cousins was in a big room where I went after I was evacuated.

[KyleEl]

The Cartwright brothers had to sell their house. I assume this meant Ben died. Whether or not this meant they would become celebrities depended on whether they could overcome the negative image of The South.

[KyleEl]

I was back in the hospital. It was actually an old school and the bathroom I had used (I never used a bathroom in the hospital) was being renovated, so I had to search for another one and I went in the kitchen trying to find it. (Kitchen? I never saw a kitchen either)

[KyleEl]

My father was excited about the death of Red, the King of England. Also in the news, the Pope's funeral.

[KyleEl]

The Republican presidential candidate had snow put on his shoulders.

[KyleEl]

I really wish I could remember all the weird dreams I've had lately. I took allergy medicine Saturday night so that contributed. But all I can remember now is that Ernest Lee Thomas of ''What's Happening!!" came out as black. Huh

[anicat]

This dream was sort of strange. Usually I don't get this specific.

I dreamed that Divine got full series pick-up by a network. And Zha Zha Gabor was the executive behind the deal, she was the one pushing for the series. Have NO idea why my brain picked her out of all possible people in the world. And I was mad at Ivan, because he hadn't told me the good news about Divine, I had to find out from a friend.

Yes, I told Ivan about my dream.

I wonder if he's looking around right now to see if there's any chance Zha Zha Gabor might be interested in webseries.

This dream means something! What, I don't know! But something! I'm sure of it!

In the part of New Orleans east of the Mississippi River, no one wanted to shoot civil rights leader Nat King Cole.

[KyleEl]

A church I used to go to in the mountains, and eat supper at every two years, was described as one of the most uppity in the community (which it certainly isn't). I asked my father if he agreed and woke up. Then I realized the name of the church was that of the motel where I want to stay; the church's name is something else.
