Texas

We go to Texas to visit family. Its very hot. I want to play poker so we clear out a space in the living room. My relatives are acting strange. They have all sorts of junk around. After clearing out a space, everyone is distracted and forgets we were going to play poker. I wander through the house trying to find people. And then I wake up.

WAC

I joined the Washington Athletic Club. It's just a like a movie. The group of guys first are cold towards me, then open up to me, one guy shows me where to put my stuff. we start playing pranks on other people. I really like it. And then I woke up.

The Race

Myself, my dad, Mo, Dan and Sizer are in a footrace race. We are racing as a team. Last year, we did this same race with the women in our life and it took 2.5 hours to complete. It's a long race. It's a staggered timed race so we start after others have begun. The race track goes to a pole, one runs around the pole and returns to the starting line which is now the finish line. This year us men have decided to run the race without the women. We complete the race in 20 minutes. We are astounded. We're not sure how we ran so much faster this year. We ran the exact same course as the year before. As we stand around the finish line talking to other racers, we try to explain how much better we did compared to last year. And then I woke up.

dinner

Crazy dream because it was so real. I'm having dinner with my brother at an extremely fancy restaurant similar to Canlis but it starts with an M. We sit down and I am immediately given a large portion of scrambled eggs and my brother is given pork chops. we think its a little weird but start eating. After awhile I chase down our waitress and ask her for some toast to go with my eggs. She get pissed and says yes, but next time could you wait till after the appetizer. Apparently the huge portion of eggs and the pork chops were just the appetizer and our actually meal was coming soon. When I walk back to the table my brother is gone but in walks three real estate brokers I know we start talking and sit down to eat when a famous real estate guy I know walks by. I jump up and have a conversation with him about seeing him at an event the week before but we did not have a chance to talk then and we should grab coffee sometime soon. He walks away and then I woke up.

Mexico

I'm in Mexico in a cave with a group of people. We're trying to seal the cave's many entrances because jackals are trying to get in. Some are small, I can pick them up and throw them out, but they just keeping coming in. Finally we are rid of them and safely secure the cave. Then one of our friends just gets to the cave and is on the outside. We open it up and rush out to save them, but there are no more jackals. We walk to town and visit an open market. I join this strange game where someone recites a story and everyone takes turns laying down money until the story ends. I don't really understand and miss my turn and the others get mad. I leave and discover one of my friends is missing. I go looking for him and bump into one of the guys from the strange game. I write him a check for $41 which he quickly cashes and is immediately happy. And then I wake up.

The Game

I've joined a game that is part-online and part real life. We are a group that has to get to another part of town. There's challenges that we have to do. Our score is tracked online in real time. It's all very confusing. And then I woke up.

Lightbulb

Dan, Staci and I are at church, a huge church with thousands of people. After the service, we wanted to meet some people our age, but when we get to where they were seated, all of them are gone. No one is in that section of seats anymore. So we funnel out of the sanctuary with everyone else. There's still tons of people around. In fact, so many are there, that I get separated from Staci and Dan. I go to the car and wait. Neither of them show up so I assume they went to Dan's car.

I call Dan's cell phone while getting into my car. Dan says "Hey, I got Staci, we decided we're going to lunch at ...." He mumbles the rest and I can't understand him. He hangs up. By this time I have driven out of the church parking lot and on the freeway.

I call him back. "Dan, where are you guys going?"

"We're going to .... for lunch. Meet us there!"

I still couldn't understand him. Now I'm getting angry. I pull over into the woods right off the freeway and try to turn around. I call him a third time. "Dan I can't hear you, where are you going?"

"Light bulb. We're going to lunch at light bulb. We'll be there soon. See you there."

And then I wake up.

Golfing

I am playing in a golf tournament for work. It's a very mountainous course so we have a guide to show us where to go. On one hole we hit the ball off a cliff then ride rubber kayaks down a rapids to the green. My kayak has a hole in it so I hop out to blow it up, but it keeps losing air. meanwhile, in another part of the course, is an ancient dry canal. In the canal someone discover the remains of a Boy King's wardrobe. and then I woke up....

Transformers

There's this small obstacle course that you have to maneuver a marble through. You maneuver it by pushing the marble with gasoline from a gas pump. Its tough but finally, I get the marble to where its supposed to be. Then who should appear but...Optimus Prime! His arch nemesis arrives as well and they fight while flying above the obstacle course. They're small; about the size of the regular transformer toys. Optimus is winning. and then I wake up.

Two Honda Fits

Sean and I are screwing around with a video camera and make a funny commercial. All of the sudden, we're famous, Honda loves the commercial and sends us two Honda Fits, one for each of us. That's great! We decide to make another commercial, but genius won't strike again.

The Cathedral

I walk past a huge building. It's a cathedral. No it's two cathedrals; one on top of the other. That's how big it is. I decide to go in. There's an entire sanctuary full of people in the first cathedral. I want to go up to the second level. But that is not allowed. Only certain people are allowed up there. I begin pushing my way through the crowd trying to get up. People are stopping me. I begin to fight with them. Eventually, I escape out a side door. I run down an alley.

People in the alley befriend me. I know something is wrong. I killed someone while I was fighting with the people in the sanctuary. I don't remember doing this, but I know its happened. I'm told I have to return to the sanctuary. I'm given suit jacket to wear, in my hand is placed two small flowers. It's time. I'm led back to the sanctuary.

In a moment of passion, I burst through the cathedral's doors, wanting to once again try to get to the second cathedral on top of this one. After a brief skirmish, I realize it's futile and surrender. I'm quickly captured and taken to the pulpit. It's about that time that I realized I killed a white boy. And I'm a black one. And then I wake up.

The C.D./Bus Ride

I'm listening to my friend new CD of his band. The first two songs are very melodic, they even have an orchestra in one of them. I'm a little surprised since his band is generally hard rock. I suggest bumping a bass line louder and he says no, that's not what they're going for. whatever, I hop on a bus with friends. We're going to the store. We stop at a bus stop and Staci gets off to go the bathroom. Of course the bus leaves before she gets back and there's no way for her to walk to where we're going. I'm bummed. And then I woke up.

The Spanish Princess

There's this strange contraption in a room. Me, Mo, Sean and Dan are there. The contraption holds a newspaper along the crease (library style) and has small weights that balance the top, which has a horizontal bar with little beads that rotate around it. The entire contraption is made out of bamboo. Each bead has several letters or numbers on it. I spin one and a 3 is showing. Then a blond haired woman appears. Somehow we know she's a Princess from Spain. This is sweet! She warns us to only spell Spanish words on the beads or else something bad happens. About the time she is telling us what will happen, I wake up.

Guitar lessons

Matt asks me to teach a guy to play guitar because the guitar class he's teaching is too full. It has 65 people in it. I say sure. At the lesson, we work on tuning the guitar, then the lesson is over. I ask Matt how much he's making and he says $65 per person. He says he won't pay me to teach guitar lessons, I start hitting him until he gives me ten dollars.

Then I join a group of people taking a tennis lesson. On our way to the court I hit a few balls with a couple people on another court. I'm good at tennis so I'm ripping the returns. The teacher stops the class and points our my form saying "notice the roll over motion he is making". Then I wake up....

First dream post!

Drew and I are snorkeling. I point out a few sting rays then notice a GIANT sting ray as it swallows Drew whole. I swim over and pull its whiskers,and the sting ray spits Drew out.

Later, Elise and I are driving from Seattle to Texas, spending one night in Texas and driving back the next day. About the time we are leaving, she says she's changed her mind and we're staying for five days in Texas. And then I woke up...

What's this about

I have strange dreams. It's true. They are REALLY weird. I don't know why I have them. I don't know what they mean. And almost always I can remember the next morning what I dreamt about. Several people have suggested I keep a record of my dreams. I decided it was time.

So here it is. I'm going to record my dreams if I have any thoughts on what a particular dream means, I will put it in the comments. If you the reader have any insights, please feel free to comment.
