I have a friend who quit drinking about 15 years ago. She told me that sometimes she still dreams about drinking. She says so far as she knows she isn't craving alcohol but she always goes to an AA meeting after a dream like that. She was surprised at first to find out that those dreams happen to a lot of people and some of them actually wake up feeling hung over. The mind is a mysterious place.

It was weird--I woke up at about 2:15 am after I felt a finger trail down my back and a voice right behind my head say, "The world___ isn't really___." Freaked me the hell out. I should have gotten up and written down the exact words, but instead I lay there thinking about it--I was sure I'd remember when I woke up for real. Nope. The night before that it was an 'escape from vampire world' dream. I've been reading/watching too much post-apocalyptic stuff, methinks :)

Has anyone every dreamed about being under ground? A long time ago I dreamed that I was walking somewhere outside, and found myself in some sort of cave that was sucking me down into the earth's core. I resisted and started throwing rocks and yelling that I wouldn't go there and all of the sudden I was back where I started. I didn't like that dream at all. I felt creepy all day.

I was outside, talking to a very nice young man who was messing around on his laptop (computer). I don't remember what we were talking about, when I realized I had something in my pocket. I took it out and it was my cat Winston, he was a tiny bird. When I opened my hand he flew off. I was afraid for him at first then I felt exhilarated because he was so happy and free. He was flying like a barn-swallow, it was really a beautiful sight. After a bit, he came back to me and got back into my pocket. I was relieved, but happy he could fly now.
There was a lot of other weird stuff going on too. For instance, there was some sort of posse looking for me that I was hiding from and something about earth being a space ship that was in peril of some sort of thing, but I don't remember what.
I do this kind of stuff every night. Sometimes my dreams are about me doing mundane things like checking the laundry and finding a drier full of salami instead of clothes. No flying cat-birds, no posses or floundering space ships at all... only salami.

I have been sleep-deprived lately, so not waking up during my dream cycle ... but this morning I remembered my last dream. I ... I was talking to P Diddy on the phone, giving him life advice about something as I drove around a really hilly city. Then P Diddy morphed into, I think, Ice T.

I don't even know.

I often dream of flying or hovering or running smoothly just above the ground.

Last night I dreamt I was about to miss my school bus but I found a strange 1-seater car so I got in that instead. I kept getting stuck in the snow and shoveling myself out. I got the car to start hopping over the road and bouncing, and finally it was just flying above the road. Some other guy was upset he had missed his bus but I yelled down that my car only seated 1 so I couldn't help him.

In the gutters of the road a lot of water had collected and I saw lillypads and I realized there was this whole ecosystem of strange frogs and fish living in the runoff on the road. (It is very common dream of mine to see strange fish lurking beneath water, I think it's a metaphor for my subconscious). Then I went into a tunnel where the road surface had been covered in blue square tile and the water was running over steps like a fountain, except this was the road you were somehow supposed to drive on. It was very colorful and beautiful and I just flew over it all.

Did you not learn anything from the Halloween Movie Marathon? Tunnels are bad.

...that a Kohler toilet was nipping at my heels...mean nasty thing all yellowed and stained from hardwater...rusty handle, a four-bolter (four bolts hold it to the floor)...and then, if that doesn't get one's attention, earlier I was out poking around in the bush (deer rifle season) and I spotted another one! Yeah! Hiding behind a stump and a vanity top was nearby. They really need to bring the bounty back on the toilet! :eek: Things have gotten way out of hand!
