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.

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.

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

No idea

I dreampt I had a body suit that made me look like a strip of cooked bacon.  I just sort of wriggled around in the dream it didn't really have a point beyond bacon.

I dreampt I worked at combination post office and dryer cleaner.

I had a really dark dream about a woman looking for her husband. Everyone in the dream had older clothes from a sort of indeterminate period in the past, I think she had a small bonnet on. I feel like her husband was dead and she was using a spell to find out if he was ok and when he contacted her she was so happy because she thought maybe he was still a alive.  She opened a portal or maybe he did that part and he called to her and she cried and reached for him and only when when her arm was through did she realize it was a trick.  Whatever grabbed her arm was not only not her husband but also not even human.  She had been tricked by a devil or demon and then her whole body was pulled into hell.  A young man witnessed this whole ordeal but could not stop it and was terrified that the demon knew he was there.  The man and a friend went to a gathering but an interrogator who looked for sin was there and the young man fainted.  I remember he was quite beautiful and how fair his hair was and how dark his coat was, not black but an impossibly deep blue with details at the cuffs like a stripe and some buttons. The interrogator was not there for the young man but his terror of both the demon and possibly being tortured to reveal he was witch was too much.  I got a vibe from the dream like it was related to the movie The Scarlet Letter with Demi Moore but I haven't seen that in a long time.  It was sad how many people in the dream were miserable.

I dream a lot about buildings and especially places where I lived previous or in the dream I currently live.  I dreampt I was in a dorm or apartment building and they were adding rooms in odd places so that everyone would fit.  At woman at the end of the hall had only two walls but they were outside walls and the other walls of her dorm were made of chicken wire.  I don't know how she slept because there was a road right outside and the rights cut through the walls and of course you could hear the road noise all the time.  She had a very nice desktop computer that surely would have gotten wet whenever it rained.  She seemed very proud of these corner shelves that attached to the wall and gave her extra storage.  I liked how she had lofted her bed a bit to make more room.  Even the ceiling of her room was chicken wire and if you looked up through the mesh you could see a nest of skunks so on top of everything the room didn't smell great.  

Inside Out

I dreampt someone told me the door to the storytime room was jammed or stuck so i went to see what was going on. It was an accordion door and it looked like it had been smashed so that it stuck outward into the dept. When I got out it open I found all these thick black theater curtains that went up much higher than a library ceiling. As I pulled them all back I realized I could see the sky and that the track for the curtains was also for a roller coaster. The track was badly bent and warped. I could hear many coasters all on different tracks. When I turned back to the library all i could see was a field that had once been a paved lot so that patches of concrete were interrupted with grass. I called my coworkers into the room that should have bene set up for a big program and we watched the roller coasters crash into the ground one at a time. Later in my dream or maybe before I was at a garage sale and then the garage sale was in my program room so we moved the furniture all around and had this weird craft program and talent show thing.  It was very chaotic.  The garage sale from earlier had been happening in a house down the street but once inside it looked like the store Ollies and there was stuff just stacked everywhere.  i really wanted a specific chair and to look at rugs but no one would help me. I don't know how the sale got into the library.

Someone was trying to break into the house. I kept telling people but one person went back to sleep and one person never came and one just walked away. First I saw him at the back room and as i ran to check all the windows he appeared at each one as if he could get in at any time he was screwing with me. I called 911 but the voice of the dispatcher just got softer and softer. I remember yelling for help over and over but then I just woke up.

Last night I dreampt Sir Ian McKellen was in my basement doing laundry. I offered him a beer in a Harry Potter glass and he said oh well at least the beer is from Michigan.

Luke Skywalker and young Obi Wan Kenobi had a light saber battle in space while free falling from a ship to a hovering city.

Famous people

November 23, 2016

I dreampt that Lady Gaga was a beautiful princess in a long white dress.  She left her castle to read by the sea.  Her dress had a long train that she spread out on the sand all around her.  While she read a baby unicorn came to her and lay down on her train.  Lady Gaga took the unicorn home to her castle where she lived with a sleeping prince who was Eddie Redmayne.  He slept in a glass case like Snow White but Lady Gaga never woke him up.

REM the band not the dream state

I dreampt I was walking down the road and I met Michael Stipe of REM and he was signing an autograph for me but I woke up before he handed it to me.

Last night I dreampt that I went shopping at IKEA with a previous boss and Clarence Page, the editorial writer, who, incidentally gave the commencement speech at my college graduation.

August 25th, 2014


I had this totally bizarre dream i was at a special banquet with foods that when you ate them, told you when you would die somehow. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart were there. Also, I dreampt about a red panda and meeting the guy who made the Predator 4 video game. no idea what any of that means.
