Weird dream last night...

Was using some sort of software that had various bugs in it. But if you found a bug in the software the developers would summon a ghost to hunt down and kill you instead of patching the software.

So I spent the majority of the dream on the run to avoid these techno-ghosts.

Last night I dreamt of that which I did not want to but knew I would. Demosthenes knows of which I speak.

But somehow that segued to a co-ed combination hockey/volleyball game in Germany, where I dealt with racism and Margaret Thatcher defending Hitler. I don't even know.

Had a pretty cool dream that can be summarized in one phrase:

Obi Wan Quixote


Basically an old nutter obsessed with Jedi (after Order 66 and their near-extermination) finds a lightsaber (I think it was Windu's) in a pawn shop on Coruscant and proceeds to luck his way through a series of misadventures trying to bring peace and justice back to the galaxy.

Back story is that he always loved Jedi, and during the clone wars he supplied arms to the Republic; he was so proud that his products were helping the Jedi fight evil... and then his guns were used for mass Jedicide. It was just too much for him; he kind of snapped. Became a complete recluse, which his wealth allowed him to do, and basically just had his droids collecting every Jedi related item they could find.

My dreams the last few nights have been ridiculous and make no sense. Last night's was some kind of bachelorette party-turned-corporate all-hands meeting, at which I proved wrong someone I shouldn't have in such a public forum. (Responsive web design is my forte, dude, don't fuck with me.) We were sitting in long rows of benches, and there was a vampire trying to bite me, but I knew he was approaching and covered my neck with my hair and hoodie and shoved him off into another row. Then all the women in the group banded together and did some kumbaya sort of thing in protest of the vampire.

Dreamed I raided a drug den, but instead of shooting anyone I just reached in and pulled out their hearts.

most of them became very compliant afterwards, but one psychotic bitch just got agitated and started going on a killing spree.
I tried to destroy her heart by throwing it on the ground but it just bounced off and only succeeded in getting her attention.
So then I was on the run, trying to find a way to destroy her heart before she caught me. Finally found a blender, but woke up soon after slushifying the cursed organ; so I don't know if it worked.

I've been having very vivid dreams and not remembering them.
Sucks.
I have noticed that some of them have been incredibly mundane. Stuck-in-traffic type things.
So maybe I'm not missing anything at all.

Mundane, eh? Last night, my dream was that myself and my manager were visiting friends of his who happened to all be in their 80's. We sat around their tiny apartment and drank water and talked. They used frozen sponges as ice cubes.

I specifically remember waking up in the middle of the night and taking some time to think of a new scenario so I wouldn't go back to dreaming about sitting on a couch drinking sponge-water talking about NOTHING!

As far as I know I haven't dreamed in the past several days.  Got a new memory foam mattress and I'm sleeping much better lately.

I'd take mundane over being dreaming I was being tortured by someone who was pressing very hard into my abs, and then waking up with stomach cramps.

Hmm.

I dunno, I'm gonna spend about 3 hours stuck in traffic on the 405 tomorrow and ... well ... being tortured would at least mix it up a bit.

The only thing I remember from last night's batch was driving on some highway in Missouri, only to find out that the St. Louis Arch was part of the highway system. Once the grade increased sharply, I realized what it meant and slammed on the brakes to start backing up. Ain't no way I'm driving on that.  :-o

I dreamed about a really cute Internet-only-but-lives-here acquaintance (she is a food blogger and she has an absolute blast with it) - now I'm thinking about food



and sex

Dreamt there was this book.

If you opened it and said a prayer to a certain deity (called 'Shah', or something similar) you would be whisked away to have an adventure that would teach you something about yourself.

However, the deity could be fickle and if it felt you were using the book too often or weren't taking it seriously then your trip would be much, much less pleasant.

All the showers were built in to caves, but had tiles and dividers. After having been bitten by what I think were supposed to be bedbugs but were flying and looked much more like small mosquitos, I was shoved into one of these showers by a creepy James Cromwell-esque doctor. I was pregnant and the doctor had planted the bugs to bite me to affect the kid, or extract the kid, or...something. He took a tweezer to one of the bites, which looked like a standard mosquito bite welt, and pulled -- and a long black thread was removed. Then he tried to hold me under the shower, maybe to drown me?, until someone I was with pulled his head back and slit his throat. Weirdly, at that point, a bunch of other people showed up and there was discussion about the weird brain fluid pooling on the tile floor.

Dreamt I was trying to register for college classes, but they were all out of course catalogs.

So I tried to go up the stairs to see if there were any in the student lounge, but at about the third floor there was a large gap in the stairs and I had to hold onto the hand rail and balance on a 1-2 inch wide trim.

It was raining.  I was walking down a paved road and encountered a hill.  The hill kept getting steeper and steeper until I was finally on all fours, just trying to keep from sliding backward.  Eventually it was almost vertical and I could make no progress at all without sliding all the way down.

Thanks, brain.  I thought one's subconscious was supposed to be subtle?   :roll:

Dreamed I was a policeman trying to fill out some paperwork, but I didn't dream the preceding events so I had no idea what had actually happened.

So I was reading the other two officers' paperwork trying to jog my memory. The chief was coming down hard because he suspected one of the other officers was dirty and was hoping my report would let him nail the guy.

My solution was to reverse time using my will so that I could relive the events.

Woke up before I could figure out what was really going on though.
