I had a dream..(help!) Showing 1,251-1,293 of 1,293

I had kind of a nightmare about the winner of Season 1 of Project Runway Canada, who was a big bully (in actuality). It was kind of awful and it stuck with me for several hours after waking.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It was my last day on the job, the company was shutting down, and I was inappropriately wearing shorts. I went outside to get something to eat. It was crowded, lots of people milling around, and very bright and sunny. It must have been lunch hour. There was a hot dog stand. I seemed to be carrying some enormous food product, like chicken shawarma? It was the size of a small child, but I wanted a hot dog and fries anyway. I ordered from the vendor, who tried to dissuade me: hot dogs were bad for you. I said I know, but I don’t eat that many. He reached for a package of clear/transparent hot dogs. I said, don’t you have any that are the normal color? He didn’t. The hot dog and fries came to $2.23. I put the 0.23 in his change container and handed him $2, but he said he hadn’t seen me put in the 0.23 so I put in another 0.23. We must have been in the South. The ground was covered in several inches of white powder, like baking soda.

Uh-oh. I have no idea what shawarma is (other than reading the first few words of a web entry just now), but that's the second time today the word has shown up.

Today I watched "The Avengers" while I ran on the treadmill. Near the end, Iron Man is just about done in, and says,

"Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I want to try it."

Then something happened and he said, "After, then."

At the very end of the credits, there's a scene with the Avengers sitting around a table in a deli, eating something. I'm guessing it's shawarma.

One more mention and I'll have to find some? Yeah, good luck in St. George. Maybe I'll find it in Texas this weekend.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm not imagining a lot of shawarma in Utah. I don't even have any shawarma in my neighborhood.

Typical serving:

[Susan]

The second plate looks exactly like the shawarma that my meal companions ordered this past Friday night.

::wonders if that is enough mentioning to send Phwinnie on a shawarma search::

Someone was going around assaulting women by removing all their hair, cutting or shaving it. It had just happened to Phylicia Rashad. The guy was still on the loose, so women were fearful.

A man had just died in the class and was now lying face down on some boxes, and the kindergarten teacher was leading all the kids out of the classroom to get away from the body. The kids were clueless, just prancing or walking along like 5-year olds do, like zombies, not even noticing the body. "

I just noticed I had this dream 12 days before Newtown.

[Susan]

That is a little creepy.

[evie]

Last night I dreamed that after our usual evening walk I noticed that Mr evie's ankles were purple and quite swollen.

He told me he had some varicose veins removed and showed me the incision. ICK!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I was standing near Barack Obama, who was making phone calls at a table. I believe he was calling the place where his daughters were, to arrange pickup or something. It occurred to me that he probably never heard the phone ring twice, because people would immediately pick up after one ring when they saw "Barack Obama" or "White House" on the caller ID. I thought about asking him if he had ever heard a second phone ring, but I didn't.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

My sister in law's brother in law had died or been killed. It just so happened I was at the firm or company where he (or his wife) worked, and I was going to meet informally with one of his colleagues to talk about a job. But it turned out the colleague was out of town. The widow was showing me around the office. Then we got together with her two kids who in the dream were about 8 and 4 (in real life they are probably closer to 12 and 9). I told them I was very sorry their father was dead.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Starbucks had a new drink, caramel orange juice. It was actually quite tasty.

[Susan]

I first read that as camel orange juice. I will probably have some effed up dream about camels and oranges, now.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I dreamed an old friend from high school had a little white poodle named Abandon. I think he was named after "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here" from the Inferno.

haha

[Susan]

I was with two people from my past who had wronged me, one with jealousy and the other from deceit.

Jealous grabbed my hand and began spinning me like a ballerina. I was sure on my feet and executed the spin perfectly. I started to sing Carol Of The Bells and could see Deceit clapping her hands and smiling.

[Aliyah]

That's awful Susan. Thank goodness it was a dream. In the past 6 days (or so), I had two vivid dreams. The first was that I had scurvy and my teeth all fell out. The second one, I dreamt that I was stuck in a haunted mansion with idiot people I know. Dunno why Robert Downey Jr was in the second dream though.

[Susan]

It was eerie. I wrote it down because it was still so vivid in my mind. I think it might have more meaning to it and I should take note.

[Aliyah]

Maybe if its recurrent, you should take more note of it. But other than that, its nothing to worry about if it happens only once.

[Susan]

That has not been my experience.

Usually, my recurrent dreams are nothing but fluff or odd.

This one felt different.

[Susan]

You are fantastic, Barb.

Last night I had a dream. I dreamed I was in Minnesota, I realised I should let you guys know I was there, so posted a comment in GR. Unfortunately none of you were close enough for me to catch up in the brief time I had available. :(

[Cynthia]

Gail, I am just south of Minnesota. I would have taken a quick road trip. And Michael is there!

[[deleted user]]

If I ever do find myself in Minnesota Cynthia, I will be sure to look you up.

[Cynthia]

OK! I'm right in the middle of Iowa. I can make it to Minneapolis/St. Paul in about 3 1/2 hours.

A couple of days ago, I went with my son to rent a backhoe. A large backhoe to be used in clearing land. That night I dreamed that the backhoe that was delivered was the size of a riding lawnmower. What does this dream say about me?

[VickiLee]

Does anyone dream about what they are reading? I sometimes step into plots through dreams. Having just finished a book about a man with early on-set of Alzheimer's, last night I dreamt I was suffering from the disease myself. It was extremely realistic.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I got up from a chair and there was a little bit of blood on the chair. I went upstairs and took off my shirt, and there was a big bullet hole in it surrounded by blood. I had been shot in the back.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I dreamed Shelley Duvall's character in "The Shining" was named Nancy Radford.

(Actually her name was Wendy Torrance.)

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I was standing in a line at a coffee shop, talking to Colton Underwood (the new Bachelor).

[Cynthia]

Was he interesting? Those Bachelor characters always seem so boring to me. Cute, but boring.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Basically, no. I don't specifically remember what we talked about but it may have been his virginity. Just idle chit-chat.

Yes, the Bachelors are soooo boring. I don't find Colton cute at all. I hatewatch the show but I wish I could quit.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

An old boss of mine from 10-15 years ago had a son, and his son was Eric Trump. Eric had a urological problem and the former boss asked me if I knew any urologists.

[Cynthia]

I bought some pants and a top for riding horses. The saleswoman sang to me as she rang up my purchases. It was a lovely dream. (I have not been on a horse in 20 years.) I'm taking this as a nudge to do something I'm fearful of.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I had my recurring nightmare where I show up at the airport and can't figure out where my gate is or what flight I'm supposed to be on. For some reason I was flying to Sydney, and I thought, why? Why am I flying into fires? Then I woke up.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were separating or divorcing. This was why she flew to Canada while he stayed in Britain.

[Cynthia]

Last night I had a dream featuring Sally and two of her daughters. One of the girls took a tumble down some carpeted steps. I scooped her up and brought her to Sally. She was fine.

[Félix]

Cynthia wrote: "She was fine."

Excellent.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I was in a Starbucks and the barista had enormous nostrils and began to stick her finger up one. I said, "NOOOOOO don't do that" because we're not supposed to be touching our faces.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The night after the shooting in Washington (a sniper shot up a school) I dreamed that two young women (early 20s) were going to shoot up a place where most or all of the Supreme Court justices were gathered, including Ruth Bader Ginsberg. They were gathering up their long guns. One of them was the ringleader, the other woman was more a follower. The ringleader insisted I accompany them to the shoot-up. I didn't want to and tried to get away, but she followed me everywhere and wouldn't let me escape.

[Cynthia]

Yikes, LG.

Fortunately, I rarely dream about guns.

Lately I have had dreams of the girls when they were small, and I was a frazzled mother. Or I am back in college. In my recurring dream it's Tuesday and I know I have another afternoon class but I don't know where my classroom is and no one will help me.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I have those back in college dreams all the time. I never know where the classroom is either.

I seem to have a lot of dreams with guns.

Sorry you have gun dreams. I only remember one gun dream, when I was shot. I screamed and got right out of bed, in a sweat. Terrifying.
