Crazy Antics and Dreams

My Friend and a Wheelchair

Early in the morning of February 4, 2006, I had a very active dream. One of my very close friends was the focus of this dream. It seems that I was pushing my friend in a wheelchair amid a very large crowd of people. At one point, she began to push me in the wheelchair.

When I awoke, I felt that I should call my friend to check on her health and make an appointment with the doctor for myself too.

Giant People-Eating Yellow Lizard

Oh my! On the evening of August 11, 2002 I had a wild dream, i.e., "B Sci-Fi movie" type of dream! A giant orange lizard was gobbling down careless humans who got too close to the scary monster. I stayed in the "safety zone" and wasn’t in danger of being an appetizer for the giant lizard. Still, I watched numerous other people become lizard food. UGH!

A Restaurant, A Woman, and My Husband

On the night of August 12, 2002, I dreamed about Grandma’s house that was just around the corner from the brewery. I was discussing the house’s history with a woman I didn’t know. After the visit to the old house, my husband came to the restaurant where I was having a meal at to tell me that I would be served with divorce papers. I have no idea what the old house and divorce papers have in common, but I have never been served with divorce papers. Go figure!

Grandma's, Gangs, and Fireworks

Wow! The dream that I had on the night of February 7, 2006 was again in Grandma’s house just around the corner from the brewery. The house had been sold to a very nice woman with several children. The house was just as it had been when I was a child. Some gang members forced their way into the house and terrorized all of us. They then used cattle prods to make us get into their 1955 Chevy.

The dream changed and we were then back in the house watching a fireworks display from the back door. The finale of the fireworks show was very scary. A large rocket flew low over the house; it had a second rocket trailing behind it as it cruised close to the roof. As the rockets’ speed decreased, they exploded and fire filled the sky above us. The concussion of the explosion ripped the roofing shingles off of the house and the siding was warped and smoldering.

The gang members returned, but were now well behaved and tried to apologize for their previous misdemeanors. While in the backyard, my brother showed up in a foustanella (a Greek dance costume)! He would never were such an outfit anywhere – now how bizarre is that? Trust me, my brother wouldn't be caught dead in a skirt!

Deep-Sea Exploration

A television show I watched before going to bed must have influenced this dream. I found myself operating a remote deep-sea submersible in search of a sunken ship. As the submersible sunk to the bottom of the sea, I remember being on the edge of suspense and fearful at the same time. Although I knew that I was safe, there seemed to be a considerable amount of tension. Once the shipwreck was located, it was time to bring the submersible to the surface. I woke when the submersible broke the surface and was brought aboard the ship.

Cardboard Boxes and The Lone Ranger

On June 26, 2002, I had what seemed to be a short dream. I don’t remember the beginning and it was cut short when I awoke at about 1:35 a.m. For whatever reason, I found myself in a large room with cardboard boxes filled with old movie costumes and props. As I sorted through the costumes, there were a few other people who I didn’t recognize. These people were explaining which actors wore the costumes or used the  props.

One of the boxes contained bright-colored cowboy shirts that had been worn by Lee Marvin. There was also a rifle that a man removed from a box; the rifle had been used in "The Lone Ranger" television series. I heard  someone say, " Hi-ho Silver, away!" I awoke after I heard that statement.

Funerals and Parakeets

On the night of June 24, 2002, I dreamed that was back in my parents’ home and there was a funeral going on at the next door neighbor’s house. I never see the neighbors or their children during the dream.  There were approximately forty people attending the funeral. The funny thing was that I never learned who the funeral was for, but a black couple buried an urn of ashes in the front yard.

I then remember being in the driveway of my parents’ home. As I looked at the den windows, I noticed that a green Parakeet had built a nest similar to the ones that swallows build on the bricks next to the window. There were three or four fledgling Parakeets in the nest. A Red-tailed Hawk made a brief appearance as it swooped down on the nest and grabbed one of the fledglings with its talons.

At short time later, I seemed to be back inside the neighbors’ house speaking with the bereaved family members attending the funeral. I clumsily bumped a lamp with my hand and the bulb shattered and cut the palm of my hand. Just as with my dream the previous night, I seemed to bleed profusely.

I’m not certain when the dream ended, but I can’t remember any more of the details. I think it’s strange that I dreamt of being injured too nights in a row . . .?

Stabbed in the Neck!

The night of June 23, 2002, I had a strange dream. Unfortunately, all that I remember is that a strange man stabbed me in the neck. While this was scary, I didn’t die in spite of the fact that I bled badly.

Action Heros and 747 Boeing Jets

The dream I had on October 24, 2000 was very much like a movie, very enjoyable.

I dreamed that Sean Connery was my father and Tom Selleck was trying to meet me! Not only did Sean Connery give me a BIG hug, and every time that Tom Selleck saw me, he would try to catch up with me. Tom Selleck was walking down a city street, I passed by on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

The next thing I know, I’m the pilot of a 747 Boeing jet. When I walked down the aisle, I passed by Tom Selleck who was seated in the First Class section. Unfortunately, I awoke before I was able to speak with Tom Selleck. Just my luck!

Waterparks and Bodyguards

The dream I had on the night of September 11, 2000 was an excursion into dreamland that was not only interesting, but very vivid too. It seemed as if I was visiting a large waterpark next to a mall and office complex. After a ride down a water slide, I left the park and was accosted by a fanatical/obsessive man and his cronies. His goal was to kidnap me and force me to marry him. The police arrived and I was able to escape from this nameless man.

Soon after the kidnapping attempt, I haired a handsome blonde man as a bodyguard to protect me since the man had escaped from the police. The bodyguard could barely keep me out of harm’s way as the bad man chased us through a surreal city.

As we trudged though a rough construction site, there was a loud explosion overhead. A large cargo container fell towards us. We were barely able to scramble a way, but two more containers fell nearby. After the containers landed, the front half of a jet airliner was on fire as it fell from the clouds overhead.

During this dreams ending, the bodyguard carried me to safety. This was an interesting, but improbable dream.
