Strange dreams

[Daffydilly]

I've had really weird vivid dreams over the past few months. The oddest one has a fluffy, flying gorilla as my sidekick. We spent the entire dream flying around a giant gym with hunters shooting at us. Luckily, the hunters has poor aim and never hit us. I remember the gorilla had the softest fur I've ever felt.

It was weird waking up and wondering where my sidekick went to.

Cross-dressing mice.

And that one where I ran off with Mr. Blobby after he tried to mug me and we led a life of crime before being gunned down by a Mexican drug cartel.

Beat those lol.

I have recurring dreams about being back in high school and trying to open my locker but not remembering the lock combo and trying it over and over but I can't remember it. Sometimes in my dreams I go back many years later to try to recover all the stuff that has been lost but once again in the dream I still can't open the locker.

 

I've had that one, but its in college, and I can't remember the combo to my mailbox!  And I keep going back, but i can't remember it, no one can help me, and I can never get my mail.

I've also had one where I'm dreaming I'm taking a math class, but for some reason, cut class every day, and then try and go back and catch up, but I can't.  And I have no idea how far behind I am, and the work I have to do is like gibberish.  Which doesn't surprise me since math AlWAYS had that effect on me!

I have a recurring dream where I have just moved into a very old, large home where the original owners did not move out all of their stuff. Their furniture is still there, clothes still hung in the closets, but the people themselves are gone.

I find a small passage that leads to a whole other house that is in the same state as the first. It's like it's a secret house inside a house.

I always wake up feeling vaguely unsettled. I think the fact that the original owners possessions are still there lends a trespassing vibe, and the 2nd house always has an unwelcoming feel.

My "secret room" dreams are usually about houses I've lived in for some time (20+ years, in the current house.)  One day I notice a door that somehow I've overlooked for years, and there is another room there.   It drives me crazy because I should have known there was a door there -- if I go in the 'new' room and open a window, then go outside and look for that window, it's very visible.  How could I not have noticed that the front wall of the house has three windows, but only two visible  rooms with one window each?

The one last night when I was forced by my family to go on a trip to Russia(!)
I didn't want to go because I was worried about being picked up by the KGB for some reason. 
They even got the passport and tickets in advance so I ended up going and it was freezing with snow and I couldn't find my way out of Red Square. Very very weird.

Sanity Lost's post about her wedding trespassing dream reminded me of one I had last night.  I have DH has obviously been watching too many gangster movies (I'm starting to think the only movie Encore has is Goodfellas.)  I'm also blaming the Gross Out thread for some of the elements.

So I'm in the parking lot of some super store (Home Depot?) watching Dh and one of his friends break through the asphalt and dig a shallow hole.  Then they opened the trunk to reveal a big plastic bag with a couple of wise guys in it.  (They had been dispatched).  Into the hole they went.  Then DH and his buddy poured something all over them and it started to bubble and froth (soup anyone?)  Finally, DH realized the hole was too shallow and he needed to build a cover.   So he gets the cover made but it's sticking up a good foot above ground.  DH said I should figure out a way to make the cover blend in with the asphalt.  I said, "Really.  How am I supposed to do that?  You need to make the hole bigger."  So they pulled everything out and put it back in the trunk.  Then I got mad because I was NEVER going to get that out.  They dug a deeper hole, replaced the bag and we took off.  Did I mention this is all going on in broad daylight?

Seriously?  Where do I get this stuff? 

When I woke up, I told DH the next time he needed to whack someone, please dump them in the lake or the river like everyone else.

He thinks I'm nuts.

Last night's dream:

My wife and I were in our basement, where there was a model of the floor plan of her work building right next to the dryer.  I noticed red blinking lights in her model office, which meant someone had broken in and they were stealing proprietary secrets from the computers.  I also noticed green blinking lights coming down the hallway which meant the cleaning crew was doing their rounds and would go into the office to clean it and the thieves breaking into the office would kill them.

So I called the company's security division to report what was going on.  And found out that to be connected to the security people in the building I needed to contact, I had to solve math problems in order to get the number - and every time you got one wrong, the number would change and you would have to start over from the beginning. 

So, then it became kind of like a movie - here's the shot of the cleaning crew wheeling their carts into another office, talking to each other - "Yes, I'm so proud of my daughter, she graduated near the top of her class!" - "How wonderful, congratulations." and other normal conversation as they are walking to their doom.  Music that they can't hear starting to get ominous.

Here's  the shot of the  criminals, with drawn guns, trying to hack into the computers,

Here's a shot of the floor plan, with the lights blinking.

And back to me desperately trying to remember how to solve a quadratic equation (hey, it's been years), derivatives, and a bunch of other things having to start over from the very beginning again because I forgot to show my work turning to my wife and yelling; "This is the stupidest system I have ever encountered.  Whoever came up with it needs to be fired!"

Which woke my wife up from a sound sleep.  She promptly started shaking me; " Zyrs, honey it's okay."

And I, still asleep, ( I remember looking at my wife in the dream like she was crazy) said; "It's not okay!  People are going to die because it's such a stupid system!"

Then I woke up and apologized.  She spent the day teasing me about it  - "Solve the Unified Field Theory, show your work." - all day.
