Strange dreams

[Elfmama]

The person getting amputated from the ankles up is wicked funny.  I may end up dreaming about that tonight.

I haven't remembered my dreams in a while but I have for the past few nights. For some odd reason, my brain seems preoccupied with showering. In all my dreams, I'm either at work or on my way to work, and I'm looking for a place to take a shower. The places I find are either too small, or too crowded, or too open (no curtain surrounding the shower area) I don't remember ever actually taking the shower in my dream but I spend a lot of time looking. I often wonder what it all means. Why, when I fall asleep, am I so completely consumed with showering? Why can't I come up with a different adventure.

Showers?  I dream about looking for a toilet.  Never can find one that I can use.  They're either filthy or in some very public place, like out in the middle of the mall -- no stalls, just toilet fixtures sitting out in the open.  Eventually I wake up enough to realize that I need to pee, so I can only conclude that my difficulties are my brain keeping me from wetting the bed!

I have that same dream for the same reason.

I have so many dreams about how to save my rabbits in various disasters (floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, sudden invasion by a foriegn army, aliens...) that I'm sure I'm prepared for anything now.

The worst is when you finally find a toilet, and you go to use it, despite the little voice telling you, "No!!!  Not good!!  Geeeet uuuuuup!!!", but you ignore it because you finally found the toilet, so you're gonna use it!  That is when you awake to find that you are a grown woman in perfect control of her bladder, and you just wet the got-dang bed.  Welllllll crud monkeys

I thought I was the only one who did this. I feel much better now, thank you!

When I was about 12 years old I had a recurring dream that got to be rather disturbing.

I dreamed that I was in a hangar where a huge dirigible was being inflated.  I could see it getting bigger but I could also hear the 'whoosh, whoosh, whoosh' of air going into it. 

The dream kept coming back for about a year and, every time the balloon kept getting bigger and bigger.  At times it seemed as if it was going to burst the hangar open.

Once, a voice in my dream told me to RUN AWAY! 

I did and woke up.

Years later I figured out that the 'Whoosh' I was hearing was simply my father snoring in the next bedroom.  Still, it was disturbing.

Not a problem!  A lot more people do it than what they're willing to admit

I was chased once by Godzilla

and

UltraMan saved me

I dreamt I got married to a man who vaguely resembled Jared Padalecki. We were in a 18th - century farmhouse, and there were only 7 other people there, including the officiant. At least it was a happy dream.

Another weird dream I had happened right before I went off to college. I dreamt a girl I knew from HS, who I'll call Lana, died and we all went to her funeral. However, it was a Roman Catholic Requiem Mass, and she's atheist (her family is not RC). Plus the communion wine was dark blood and it went everywhere (think The Shining).

A week later, my sister casually mentioned, "Oh, by the way, Lana's grandma died." 

ETA: A friend of mine from church has a very sick grandmother and I had a dream a week ago that he died. Should I tell him his Oma's about to die?  (I would not do that ever. That's just sick and cruel.)

At least you *get* the little voice!

I hate the Pee Dream.

I had a dream I was at a family member's wedding and every single one of the guests got up to do the conga!

I had a really gross and disturbing one once.  I went to pour some puffed wheat cereal into a bowl, but what poured out of the box were thousands of cockroaches..   It was a long time before I could eat puffed wheat again.

I dreamed that I was about to give birth. It was really weird... at first I was feeling smugly superior because I'd decided to have an all-natural home birth (not saying home birthers are superior, but in my dream I was some sort of walking stereotype), until it started to hurt and I realized that all-natural meant no pain killers. I freaked out so hard that I woke right up.

The weird thing is, I'm no pregnant and we're not planning kids anytime soon, so I have no idea what this dream was made of.

Last night's elaborate dream involved a huge truck stop, with me playing several roles, including one memorable moment when I stepped out of a truck as Spider-woman, with *very* high heeled boots.

When I quit smoking, I had a nicotine patch on 24/7. I know, but I was *really* addicted. It gave me the most intense and vivid dreams of my life.

The one I remember most clearly is that I was the female equivalent of Henry VIII, except I killed my husbands. Not executed, I actually killed them. It was pretty graphic, with one of my ladies-in-waiting shaking bone shards out of the sheets. Anyway, I was scheduled to be executed like Marie-Antoinette in the morning. Because I was royalty, I was offered a final request, like a last meal or confession.

I requested a priest. But, not for confession... I requested a priest to make love to on my last night of life. When he arrived, it was Christian Slater. From Heathers era.

It. Was. Awesome.

I woke up in the morning (in the dream) in a London train station bathroom in modern clothing with only a backpack and a sword. Christian Slater had become David Krumholtz (he helped me escape) and I then realised I had to be at work the next day and had no idea how I was going to get back to Australia.

And then there was the dream about Det. Olivia Benson in the freezer last week. That one had me feeling weird all day.
