Genre Mashup

I dreamt I worked in a cafeteria. I leaned under the counter to collect dropped change. As I stood up I got my head and knocked myself out. I woke up nearly an hour later and a coworker drove me to urgent care in his jimmy buffet themed classic car. Then I woke up.

I dreamt I helped a friend cut up a designer bag while we were in the store so she could have the zipper. 

I dreamt I made this pineapple dessert where you removed the core and filled the center with almonds and other ingredients.  Once you baked it, you could eat the pineapple by pulling off a segment at a time like monkey bread but because of the inside filling each section was a little a tiny pineapple upsidedown cake. 

I dreamt I was on break at the grocery store and the only thing we were allowed to eat was fried chicken.

I dreamt I was trying to get two bicycles out of my bedroom but I kept marking the walls. While I was cleaning I also found a cute elephant figurine in my room that was blue and gold. 

I dreamt I owned a light grey/silver suit with a white vest and blue tie. We were at a hotel with an indoor pool and a glass ceiling. 

Of course, I also dreamt I was in college again.

And I dreamt about my favorite television show Smallville.  Clark was trying to get high on drugs but the drug had kryptonite in it.  He collapsed at work, it was a park or a nature preserve. He wouldn't let anyone call 911 so the staff, including a friend of mine from grade school, got him into his truck so he could drive home.  I noticed that his boots were untied.  No one realized how badly Clark was shaking and that he couldn't drive so they just walked away and left him sick in his truck in the garage. 

I dreamt I was doing a dance routine, mostly tap, with Ray Charles.  We sang his music, mostly Busted over and over while dancing in the hallway at school.

I had a long dream about high school that combined elements of the school I work at now such as being in class as a student with my actual students from work.  I dreamt that I took my lunch bag to school but didn't pack a lunch so I planned to go home on my lunch break but instead  I left in 3rd period and skipped math. On my way home I couldn't go straight down the road because of a detour so I turned left only to realize the road was flooded and frozen.  I managed to veer around and miss the water.  I careened through the intersection I had just been in and ended up in frozen water on the other side of the road. I had to get my ice scraper from the trunk so I got out of the car and waded in the frozen water so I could get to the trunk.  After this, I just went back to school without my lunch.  I also somehow ripped my pants.  I spent recess stuck on a giant indoor swing for two people. I got very dizzy but the other person would not stop the swing to let me off and we were moving too high and too fast for me to jump.

No Bite

I dreamt a man was letting his huge dog bark and snap at me.  I was crying and telling the man to get his dog and I sort of fell back into my car and locked the door from there. I drove off and it was suddenly night time and I was driving on a boardwalk.  I kept narrowly missing obstacles and a few I drove through but they had no effect on the car.  I did break off the rear windshield wiper. 

I dreamt I had a wall of climbing plants in my house on the second floor but there were holes in the floor so that the plants could come up from the basement.  I could tell that many of the plants had been cut off just at the baseboard and would probably die soon. 

I dreampt I was at a folk concert where the lead singer did the moonwalk across the stage and then stopped the music so he could tell us a ghost story.  I was in the audience eating a slice of white cheddar cheese. 

I dreamt we lived in the desert and I went outside because a little boy and his dog were on our property. They had come to see a pack of Black Leopards. When I went out I met an African Lion who didn’t bite me but was very aggressive and kept circling me and throwing me again/into the bushes and trees.

I dreamt my grandfather took me to meet André René Roussimoff aka Andre the Giant. *Note that both my grandfather and Andre dead.

I dreamt my sunroof cracked and my car filled with snow

I dreamt I was waiting to pay for a Little Debbie peanut butter cream pie and I was going to use coins because it was only 79 cents.

I was having the wildest dream about someone trapped in a cursed suit of armor. It was scary but very engrossing.

I dreampt I bought a house with a barn in the back and when I went to clean it out I found two vehicles.  I was told I could sell them both and I was very excited about all the money I was going to get. 

I dreamt I bought bourbon with my meal at McDonalds.

I dreamt I was at a dept store and I was trying to find Hanukkah books to read in storytime.

What the Bees Said

 I dreamt I was biking to the park. I was going to turn right into the side street entrance but I was going to fast to really make the turn. Just when I tried to make the turn a car pulled up in the lane so instead of swinging wide and trying to save it I had to just keep going straight. As I kept biking I moved passed a guy standing by a large blue trailer, it looked a bit like it could have hauled cars but the ramps were flat and covered with boxes. The man wanted me to help him unload the boxes but I think he thought he was a kid so he only offered me like a couple of bucks to do the job. I really didn’t want to do it and then I realize that the whole trailer was covered with bees.  It wasn't just that the bees were on the trailer but they were coming out of the metal framework as if their nest was inside. I thought I’d be nice and help which isn't like me at all. When I picked up one of the boxes I got stung twice on my right leg. Mad because well of course I got stung, I stopped and walked away. Then realized I had left my bike by his trailer near the cab.  When I turned around and went back for my bike I could see that one of the truck's front tires was flat and that the whole rig was tipping over from the imbalance. Since my bike was at the front of the trailer near the flat tire I grabbed my bike and tried to ride away before it fell on us.  And then I just woke up.

This nap brought to you by...

When you dream, are you the participant or the observer? 

If you participate are you always you?



a lot of really weird dreams about working in a children's museum as a musician, I had these Boomwacker sorts of percussive instruments and I wandered around the museum sort of making up tunes wherever I went. Also, I was sleeping on a couch at a press conference which was confusing because in the dream I was asleep on the couch but also watching myself on tv during the same event. At one point we were watching old VHS tapes and reading Far Side cartoons.

I dreamt I had one of those tall fake soda bottles people use as piggie banks but mine was full of coffee creamer but I still kept it in my bedroom and not the refrigerator.

I also dreamt I was renovating a van or mobile home or some kind of large vehicle that I was going to travel and live in. It was parked in the back of my house for the most part but it had those sliding bus doors and sometimes when I was working the doors would open and I would be in different places even though no one was driving. I was asked if the van was intended to fly and no that wasn't the plan but apparently it could beam itself places or time travel maybe?

multiple dreams about eagles in the house and me working to open windows and doors to let them out

fun end of the world adventure dream with Martin Freeman as Everett Ross from the Marvel franchise and Benedict Cumberbach as Khan from the Star Trek (2009) movie.

I dreamt I was at a mall that had public showers but I didn't use them because I was looking for my lost cell phone

I dreamt that someone drove over the lawn at my mom's house, they went through the fence by the garage, down the hill, and then out the fence again at the bottom of the hill and then they drove away but we caught them because the car has a chrome decal the length of the car that said Reese's Pieces. also, dad was there and he's been dead for 10 years but in my dream, he was wearing jean shorts and we were cracking up about the whole weird situation.

I dreamt my sister was my next-door neighbor and our yards were connected so the dogs could come over but also the yard from fence to fence was covered with a canopy of umbrellas that looks like Chihuly's Persian Ceiling installation. 

I dreampt the tile wall in my shower had a horizontal crack in it that flexed in and out as if there was airflow behind the wall.  The wall stretched several times before it fell on me while I was bathing.

circular floorplan

I dreampt I was riding my bike on rocks in the dark. I was wishing I had a mountain bike instead of what I was riding.  I got to an empty city and I found my way inside a house.  I could hear voices but sometimes where I heard them was where I had been but I could not get back. The doors seemed to lock and unlock at random. All of the windows were sealed.  Some of the doors where in places I could not reach like over staircases in the ceiling. I felt I was running from someone but I also thought the voices were not who I was running from.  I found a family of only children.  The oldest girl was taking care of everyone and their parents were gone.  The parents must have found a way out and not a way back in, or they left deliberately. Everyone was terrified of being separated in the house so we all went everywhere together. One night during a storm I was reading the children a story and there was a ghost of a woman on the outside of the window and we were scared she would come in and take the children.  Everyone ran and of course, things got mixed up with people on different floors of the house.  The house seemed to rearrange itself to keep us apart. When I looked out the windows I never saw people but sometimes I saw things change like one night a house would have Christmas lights up. I don't know how we all escaped but later in the dream, we were all in a field for some sort of festival and we had to climb these very tall trees to scare a mass of crows away. The field was covered in marshmallows and some of the kids stopped to eat them but the adults ran for the trees and climbed up with wasps nests on sticks to make the birds leave. From the top of the trees, we could see that one of the children in our family was eating the marshmallows.  When we looked back again she had disappeared.  The girl never appeared again and I don't know where she went. We reminisced about this later in the dream and years later in life on a phone call.  I was on the other end of the call with the oldest sister who was now married to a man who was helping raise her siblings and their children.  The house was decorated for fall with the banisters all done in garland and leaves.  As we talked the sister looked at a replica of the wasp nests used to scare the crows away.  She wondered where her little sister was and then I woke up.

Last night I dreamt my hands were covered in bees

I dreamt I was in prison with the students from my school and my job inside was working at a pharmacy or hospital, we spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to steal the drugs

I dreamt it was raining inside my office job and I had to sit at my desk under a golf umbrella

I dreamt I was in a game that was a mix of Farmville and World of Warcraft and you could kill people to steal their farms. I made a tree fall on a man while he was driving his tractor. also in the dream, I looked like Tom Cruise from the movie Far and Away.

I dreamt a drunk Superman was crawling down the sidewalk to the restaurant he owned now that he was retired. Inside there was a man who wanted to kill him but of course, Superman didn't care and insisted on eating a snack while the man threatened him. Superman dug around in the cooler eating pepperoni and other things until he fell asleep. He wasn't worried bout the mad man since no one could hurt him more than he'd already hurt himself.

I had to write a fashion blog.

I dreamt I left homemade cupcakes at the supermarket in some Tupperware and when I came back no one had eaten any so I just took them home again

I dreamt I was driving with my seat fully reclined and I navigated based on what I could see from the sunroof

I dreamt I was trying to make falafel and the kitchen was full of dogs I had never met before, also I couldn't find the feta cheese. And I couldn't find a place to lock up my bike and two men were barbecuing on my lawn.

Last night I dreamt about great horn owls, taking my dog to the vet, and a house with many garages that were hidden by transforming doors.

I also dropped the knob came off my windshield wipers and they ran perpetually

My dreams last night involved a lot of running, stairs, lockers, lock and clocks.

I dreamt I visited a high school and for some reason, I lied to them and told them that my high school was older than I wanted to tour of their high school. They were big holes in the walls but instead of going into the classrooms they were just big open spaces like black holes.

I know you aren’t supposed to interrupt a funeral procession that’s on the road but last night I dreamt I interrupted graduation. Fortunately, no one was hurt and it turns out I know how to drive my car up steps
