(This was all one dream.)

- I kept on showing up at my cousin's house uninvited and letting myself in. Her ex-husband came downstairs from a nap and said I could make myself at home, then went back to bed. I somehow lit a piece of wood on fire that spread to a bookcase that housed a bunch of vintage vinyl record albums. (I remember Jefferson Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow" and Vanilla Fudge's self-titled debut.)

I called up to him and he came down to put the fire out. He said that an old family friend (long-since deceased in real life) was buying a house of his, and that when it sold he would pay my mom the money that he supposedly owed her for something. A trio of guys (Madeski, Martin & Wood, I think) was recording in his livingroom and asked me to contribute some mandolin and vocals, which was a great honor to me.

I went to a male dentist who actually looked like an old therapist of mine, and he gave me a bad haircut using a straight razor. A female hygienist came in with what looked like a large plastic toy gun from Return of the Jedi or something. She was using it to remove my entire outer layer of skin to prevent cancer, and I was really squeamish about having it done.

 

[RareForm]

I dreamt of bears. Bears attacking. Bears snacking on everyone. It was like Planet of the Apes, but they were bears. If you were outside, you had no chance; most of you fell. Then the channel switched to a vibrant old cooking lady teaching us tools of the trade.

I'm way behind on posting my latest dreams here, so I'll pick up where I left off and do them little by little until I eventually get caught up. I'm going back to my old format of giving them dates and titles.

Jan 18-19, 2022: "Mom Getting Senile/Trippy Video"

I was standing on a grass embankment somewhere and started moving through the air in a creepy, supernatural way. Every time that it happened I would bump into my mom. My dad said that it was something like the universe telling me that she wasn't well. She looked like the lady from "A Marriage to Remember" (an Alzheimer's documentary), and I realized that she was in the early stages of dementia. He said that it was time to talk about putting her into an assisted living facility, and I was dreading having to tell her.

I was watching a 3D computer-generated video that was like one of those DMT simulations. Every time that it got to the 4-minute mark, it would start flashing blue & red and it freaked me out. It was supposed to explain my "floating through the air" phenomenon from earlier and it felt destinctly evil, like I would become posessed if I looked at it for too long. (This "creepy video" theme has been a recurring dream of mine, but I'm still not sure exactly what it means. It always reminds me of that movie "The Ring".)

Jan 19-20, 2022: "Steroids"

I had just started lifting weights on steroids, and my arms were huge. I picked up a barbell with about 400 lbs. on it like it was nothing. My friends were all saying that it would ruin my health if I didn't stop, so I promised not to take them anymore.

Jan 20-21, 2022: "Foreign Foods/Time Travel"

Someone had made little model displays of various countries in a parking lot, and it was my job to cook a dish to go with each one. I remember that Egypt and France were two of them. I was upset about something (an argument with my mom, I think) so I couldn't really enjoy it.

I entered a building that had some kind of toys/movies (?) that would allow me to travel back to the time that they were from. One had something to do with the TV show "Get Smart". I told the guy running the place that I was too creeped out by it to try. I ended up in a garage/shed that was set up like a carnival game; there were little prizes on the wooden ceiling beams and I had to knock them down by throwing a softball.

(I'll have to post more when I find the time.)

Sweet Dreams!!!

[Ketamania]

Okay, so everytime I take trazadone I get crazy dreams. Like, every time. Most of the time they're night terrors cause yay PTSD...

However last night I actually had a cool dream.

I dreamed I was surfing... on killer whales (which are my second fav animal and very reminiscent of childhood). I don't remember much else, but that was cool.

 

[Ketamania]

Oh, and "we" (I'm not sure who "we" all included, but it was lots of people) lived in a large castle/structure in the sky made of bone. Kinda creepy but it was cool.

 

[Dreamflyer]

Okay, lemme get out my trusty notebook and see where I left off here on dreams...

Jan 21-22, 2022: "Serial Killer Prank & Ken Jennings to the Rescue"

For some reason I thought that it would be funny to plant a fake murder confession note on the local green before a festival to see what effect it would have. I went to the fest with my mom and, not knowing that it was a prank from me, she found and kept the note to help the detectives. Worse still, she tucked it into my shoelaces for safekeeping.

Well, needless to say I was in a complete panic as cops roamed the grounds trying to solve the crime. I kept on trying to dispose of it but couldn't find a chance to. In the end, Ken Jennings from Jeopardy (who was a detective) figured out that I had done it as a joke and burned it in a large metal trash can. Thanks Ken!

Jan 25-26, 2022: "Rabid Mouse"

My old singing teacher/vocal coach had a pet mouse that was rabid and got loose. My mom tried to help her get it contained and got bit in the process, plus managed to bleed all over me. I was going to the ER to get shots for it but she refused to.

Feb 1-2, 2022: "Trippy Party Game"

I went to a party where they had a game that consisted of changing scenes in a clear cube that was about 3x3x3 feet all around. It became more like a videogame and I had to click on images in matching squares, sort of like those "CAPTCHA" things that you fill out online to prove that you're not a robot. I remember that some depicted soldiers in combat.

Feb 2-3, 2022: "Maryland"

I was in Maryland and walking down a road around sunset. I watched a large truck go over the edge and into the water, which seemed to happen in slow motion. I looked down and it was floating. The occupants were climbing out and motioned to me that they were okay, which was awesome because it was too high for me to jump in and I'm not the world's greatest swimmer anyway.

Feb 3-4, 2022: "On TV with 2 Women"

I was on a sitcom/reality show in a house with two young women: One was the responsible, mature one and looked sort of like Anna Faris; the other one was an out-of-control party girl. The partying one was pacing around babbling senselessly and drawing on her leg with magic marker, which made me think that she was on something like crystal meth.

They both joined me on the couch, and the mature one said something about her young son having the same breath as his father because their teeth looked the same. I realized that the party girl liked me and decided to date her. We went to a bar/restaurant and nobody there seemed to like her because she was a troublemaker. She started introducing me as her boyfriend and telling everyone that I was moving in with her, which was a little too overwhelming for me.

Later the mature one told me that I'd be a good influence on her, but warned me that she was tough to handle. Near the end it was more like I was watching them on TV, and the party one had what appeared to be an alcoholic seizure.

Same Night: "At Mall w/ my Ex"

I was at a 1980's-type video arcade with my ex-fiancee, and she started yelling at some woman that she knew from the past. I felt embarrassed and tried to calm her down. People were playing some game where they physically swung by a large rope. I was wearing a tank top and realized that my back was covered in cystic acne, which made me a little self-conscious.

We ended up walking around the mall and Arnold Schwarzenegger was handing out free gifts to random people. I saw who I thought was Bobby Flay doing a cooking demonstration, but it turned out to be someone else.

[SoCalShordie]

I’ve been having super weird dreams lately. Mostly about drugs and food lol.

 

[Nurse Ratched]

For the last 10 years my dreams have always had the same theme. Different locations, different people but always the same thing.

I'm stuck somewhere looking for a way to get home. Sometimes I'm lost, sometimes I am waiting for a ride, sometimes i'm being chased, and sometimes I just can't figure out where I am. But it's always in an effort to get home. The homes aren't always my current one either. It's just that i am somewhere and I need to get home.

It wakes me up more often than not as they can get quite complicated and scary. Especially the ones where I am being pursued. Dreams are so weird.

I can never find where I parked my car in dreams and I'm always somewhere far from home, trying to figure out how to get back. I never seem to have my phone on me either.

(I've been having so many vivid dreams lately that I'll only try to post the more interesting ones. It'll still probably take me a few days to get caught up as usual. I always keep good handwritten notes at home, or else I'd end up forgetting half of them.)

Feb 4-5, 2022: "Wheelchair at Restaurant/Zoo Animals"

I went to some hotel/restaurant on a business trip and used a wheelchair for some reason. It was already set up at the table and I floated through the air before landing in it perfectly. When I was leaving, I rode it down an indoor staircase and almost ran over a lady's foot. I ended up in the parking garage where a woman was walking something that had sort of a kangaroo/camel body with a cow's face. I asked her what it was and she said that it was actually some kind of large rodent like a capybara. I bumped into a lion on the way out and hoped that it wouldn't eat me!

Feb 5-6, 2022: "Dave Gahan/Anne Rice"

My dad talked me into recording a cassette tape of my music to play for Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode. I was upset about something and threw it on the ground, then felt really embarrassed and picked it up. It was a song in synth-pop style with my echoed laughter as part of the intro. I ended up at a party over my cousin's house and the author Anne Rice was there (still alive, obviously). I had been reading "Interview with a Vampire" and went to talk to her about it, then realized that I was wearing my pajamas and felt silly.

Feb 6-7, 2022: "Asian Mafia Hotel"

My ex-fiancee and I had ordered Chinese/Japanese food from room service at a hotel and got sick from it. We reported it to management and they started acting really hostile. We realized that it was run by a gang like the Yakuza and we had actually been poisoned. I ended up there with my mom & dad instead and tried explaining to them what had happened, but I knew that the room had cameras and microphones everywhere. Assassins were disguised at hotel staff.

I acted as though I was on their side out of survival, and got sort of recruited as a member. I had to practice martial arts with them in a makeshift dojo in the building. Back in my room, my dad was drunk and started yelling at me for not eating my food like when I was little. The SWAT team finally came to rescue all of the guests and I was picked up by limo. We drove up a bridge and into the sky, which was designed to simulate being underwater like virtual reality. It was really cool and trippy, but I felt claustrophobic even though I knew that I could breathe.

Sweet Dreams!!!

(Okay, here are a few more from the past week or two.)

Feb 7-8, 2022: "Friend's Troubled Brother"

One of my friends had a lot of personal problems that I think were drug-related. He had a map on the floor that looked like a board game where he could move the pieces around, which was supposed to help him figure out where to go in life. He & I played a videogame where we drive motorcycles and started running people off of the road. It started becoming more like real life and I worried about their safety.

Feb 14-15, 2022: "Several Bizarre Occurences"

I took an old buddy to a sports bar where I used to play my music at Open Mic Night and sing karaoke. I looked like I did back in my 20's which was cool, but then realized that my mouth was full of some kind of brown paint/ashes that I couldn't seem to wash off. Someone's dog was having a seizure and nobody else seemed concered about it, so I tried to help out. I ended up naked on my old back porch, uh, pleasuring myself before I realized that it was right outside the kitchen window.

Feb 15-16, 2022: "Condo with Ex-Fiancee"

My ex and I were still living together. We had broken up but getting along really well. She came back from seeing a live comedy show with a mutual friend and was telling me that I should go see it. She left a bunch of lit cigarette butts on our kitchen floor that made burn marks. I had a false memory of playing some funny, Hawaiian-sounding song there that had "Aruba" in the title. Cats & dogs were having a standoff outside and I was worried about them getting hurt.

Sweet Dreams!!!

(Okay, I might as well to try to get caught up on these once and for all.)

Feb 16-17, 2022: "Art Loft"

I went to visit a few people who had an art loft on their upper floor. The room was decorated like the 1800's and had things like old ad signs and patent medicine bottles on display. The artists were in some kind of creative frenzy, tossing paint around the room and babbling incessantly. (They were also doing crystal meth and/or smoking crack.) One of them took a blowtorch to a painting and almost set the room on fire.

There was a bunch of food put out and one item was a hot dog topped with egg salad. It looked good so I took a bite and something felt strange. I found out that it was actually a still life/sculpture not meant to be eaten, and that it contained dog fur & toenail clippings! Yum.

Feb 17-18, 2022: "Convenience Store Job"

I had started working at a convenience store in a large basement that also housed an antique bottle collection. My supervisor was a nice young lady but didn't seem to know much more than I did. I put the old bottles away so they wouldn't get damaged and began to stock the shelves. We had way too many products to display and it was stressing me out. One item I remember us selling was Coca Cola in strange flavors like watermelon and menthol. I realized that I was shirtless and felt even more self-conscious because a bunch of nuns were there shopping.

Feb 18-19, 2022: "Strange Pets and Electronics"

My mom brought home a pet baby monkey and a turtle. They both escaped from their cage/tank and got loose in the house. She had ordered herbs from an online Native American store that also sold Wiccan/Voodoo-type products, and I was afraid that they were possessed or bad luck in some way. I started pulling impossible objects out of the medicine bags like radios and other appliances.

I brought all the electonics down the basement and there was some "mad scientist" guy who had just invented a new female vibrator. They were shooting a commercial for it with everybody singing, "What's the New Mary Jane" by the Beatles. Some lady was painting the room gray and it was dripping from the ceiling. (I realized that I was dreaming and woke myself up.)

Hopefully you didn't end up eating a hot dog with the fur on it like in my dream!

Feb 18-19, 2022: "Scenes from Downtown"

I was walking around my hometown, which is basically lined with small storefronts around the local green. I walked in front of a car and the lady driving smashed into a building to avoid hitting me. People started yelling at me that it was all my fault. I felt really bad and wanted to see if the driver was okay, but I ran away in a panic before the mob of angry pedestrians came after me. Later I returned to the scene and learned that nobody had been hurt, which made me feel a little better.

People from something like the ASPCA were feeding stray dogs outside, and two young foreign (Swedish?) guys started fighting. One of them threw a sharp flat rock that flew around the whole store complex and returned to him like a boomerang. One of the ladies had a son there who looked just like one of the dogs. I started talking to him like he was a pooch, then realized my mistake and apologized profusely to the mother!

Feb 19-20, 2022: "Burger King"

My dad and I ordered one of everything from the Burger King menu to take home for later. I mistakenly microwaved all of his then left it sitting out all night, so I told him not to eat it and went back with him to replace it. He took me to a beach that he had supposedly gone to back in the 1970's when he drank a lot. When we got there, he transformed into an old, thin, beardless version of himself. The "owner" of the beach remembered him from decades ago and started yelling at him to leave. The guy looked a little like Richard Nixon.

Feb 20-21, 2022: "Aunt & Uncle's/Car Trouble"

I went to my aunt & uncle's and a young woman that I used to work with was there. She was spitting out bloody drool everywhere and I was worried about getting infected with some disease. She and her friends started causing a bunch of trouble out in the road and the cops ended up coming.

I was driving and the dashboard display started flashing all kinds of warning messages (along with strange icon images). I somehow managed to drive it into my bedroom, where it started to look more like a lawnmower. I found a button that automatically changed the oil, but I didn't want to get it on my carpet.

Feb 21-22, 2022: "Prank Gone Wrong"

I tried to play a joke on an old childhood friend (actually, he was more of a bully) where I made him think that he was about to have heart surgery. Unfortunately, the doctors didn't realize that it was a prank and they inserted a catheter into his chest. Somehow, they drove a (very tiny) car up the tube towards his heart. I managed to stop it just in time before any damage was done.

Sweet Dreams!!!

Mar 3-4, 2022: "Beachfront Guest House"

I was in a huge summer home with my parents and felt really anxious about something. I asked if they could buy me some beer but he said something about the stores being too busy with surfers. They went out shopping and I started looking around the house for booze. The floor was covered with sand like an indoor beach, and kids were playing in a waterpark outside. Some of the rooms had open ceilings. There were people everywhere and I got the impression that I was on some kind of reality show.

I found a mini-bar in the kitchen with liquor bottles that looked almost like dish detergent with squeezy tops. I looked for a cup but only found some that looked like waffle cones with holes in the bottom. I started to realize that I was dreaming and chugged from a bottle that was supposed to be like 151 rum because I knew it couldn't hurt me. Of course, I didn't feel anything from it either; it just tasted like water. I tried to find a woman to make out with but couldn't get any of them to notice me.

Sweet Dreams!!!

Mar 4-5, 2022: 'Dad in Trouble at Work"

My dad was drunk and seemed really upset about something that had happened at his job. Apparently he had showed up for work under the influence of Ativan and/or alcohol and made some kind of racial slurs while he was there. He couldn't remember exactly what he had said or to whom, but he knew that he was about to get in serious trouble when he showed up.

Mar 5-6, 2022: "Friend on Leave from Navy/Exes and Actors"

My best teenage friend from 30+ years ago took leave from the Navy to come visit his old hometown where I live. He wanted me to meet him outside of an old fast food place around 3pm but I completely forgot. I called him later and he told me not to worry about it, because somebody had stolen his I-Pad and blood pressure medication, and that he was busy trying to find them. My dad gave me a hard time for complaining about my car problems (it wouldn't stop running) and I said something like, "I know you hate me!".

I ended up at a local bar with a couple of woman that I dated years ago, and one of them was sort of a composite of two different ones. I will refer to them as:

"A" = My ex-fiancee
"B/C" = The combination of the two others

'A' and I were looking for a place that did karaoke or open mic night. In the meantime, we ran into two of the dudes from "How I Met Your Mother": Josh Radnor ("Ted Mosby") and Jason Segel ("Marshall Eriksen"). I started hanging out with them and re-enacting the "woo girls" episode, so 'B/C' got irritated and left because I was ignoring her.

'A' was still there and we all did some silly improv thing on guitar and vocals. Alyson Hannigan ("Lily Aldrin") joined in as well. There was beach sand pouring from a small hole in my shorts that looked sort of like pee. It was funny until I realized that I was unintentionally exposing myself in the process, so I left quickly and hoped that nobody noticed.
