What an unusual dream this morning.  Time was wonky and fast-forwarded through several pieces that would be important to a consistent story.  There's no helping that flaw to this recollection.

I was attracted to this man.  His car was having problems with overheating.  We were traveling back to our home cities in some sort of caravan.  During some ( Read more... )

It's probably a good thing that I rarely dream.

I remember only a handful of dreams each year, and this morning was one of those occasions. Waking slowly this morning, I spent about 3 minutes coming to the conclusion that a whole 2-year period of my life didn't actually exist. It was a period not even relevant to the dream itself, but somehow my ( Read more... )

Strange. I may exceed my quota of the year for dreaming. The cast this time includes two characters from real life. Bear Coffee is held at a cafe where Steve works.  I helped someone in Minneapolis plant a garden this year, and Jake is the jack russell terrier who also lives there ( Read more... )

The skies were clear on the bitterly cold Minnesota winter day.  I heard wolves howl nearby, even though I was in the city.  The temperature was far below zero, so I hurried as I walked from the street towards the gate that would lead me to the back yard.  I saw a lone wolf standing still in the neighbor's yard, watching me intently ( Read more... )

garden:  I picked two strawberries this morning.  They were much tastier than anything I buy at the store.

caterpillars:  One of the local newspapers had an article about the current caterpillar bloom.  "The last major outbreak was in 2000-2002."

rabbit:  Chive bunny is still here this morning in the usual spot in my chive-strawberry-thyme patch.  ( Read more... )

Stressful day at work and on the roadways.  I went to buy beer to help me get to sleep.  It worked, but only for about 4.5 hours.  *sigh ( Read more... )

I dreamed again last night.  More accurately, I awoke and still remembered the dream.

I was attending another university.  The dream involved my trip there and the days of my first week in classes.  The university was odd for three reasons.  First, it was founded by one man who had earned his fortune in business.  I think it was the movie business, ( Read more... )

Another dream. It's only been 4 months since the last one, so this seems a little "soon" to have another. I'm having a harder time interpreting this one, though. There is no smooth transition between scenes. They jump directly from one instance one to another.

My posts about dreams mention that I rarely remember any of my dreams.  Maybe just 3-4 times each year do I remember one.  Tonight's was more bizarre than usual.  It incorporates stuff that I have never before encountered in my dreams.  I consider it a nightmare since it caused me to wake up in panic mode.

Normally I remember only a handful of dreams a year, and those tend to be dreams of recurring themes.  Exceptionally rare are dreams of original material that I remember upon waking.  In recent days, though, I have exceeded my annual quota.  I think last night I may have finally figured out the cause ( Read more... )
