Wednesday Lunch-Time Poll! (Dreams!)

[EarlJam]

Of the following, which best describes the re-occuring dreams that you have? By re-occuring, I don't mean every night. Just the types of dreams you have had multiple times and may continue to have.

YOU CAN CHOOSE MORE THAN ONE!

Sometimes I dream that I'm in the backseat of the car and that I'm supposed to be driving, but I can't reach the brakes or steering wheel.

I think that dream occurs when I'm not in control of a situation.

It happens less frequently now, but growing up I had the same dream every time I was sick with a fever. I was piloting the space shuttle and after a successful launch, we'd come back to the ground and blow up during landing. Must have had it at least half a dozen times while sick growing up. Yes, I grew up in the age of the shuttle and the Challenger disaster (was 9 at the time), but it's interesting the dream always had us crashing during landing not launch.

I chose the airplane one, since that seems the closest.

This dream means that you fear screwing up something right at the brink of success. In other words, self-sabatoge. It could also mean that one day you will purchase an old space shuttle, fly it, then explode as you are landing it.

I will not charge you for my interpretation services. It's free!

I once had a dream my mama died in a space shuttle explosion. I was 18 when the shuttle blew up. Was playing hooky from school and watching The Price is Right when they broke in with the news.

I'm wearing blue underwear.

. Sitting naked in a sauna with EarlJam while rubbing glue and glitter all over your body and listening to Michael Bolton's Greatest Hits while wearing SCUBA diving gear.

Yes, I can levitate. If I inhale I can rise higher. If I'm floating around a room where there are lots of people, say at a party, I can exhale and glide down over their heads and listen in on what they are saying. They never seem to notice I'm up there.

So watch for me in the rafters at Cameron. In fact, how do you think I get way up there to that seat high in Section 14?!
Love, Ima

Over the course of about 9 months, I had dreams that I was losing my teeth. In the first dreams, it was just one or two. By the end of the 9 months, it was nightmare quality, with me generating mouthfuls of bloody teeth, over and over. I'd spit them out, and my mouth would fill up again. It was awful, couldn't go back to sleep after those.

It wasn't until a year later that I realized that they were happening during the time I was planning for, applying to, and waiting to accept an offer to go to business school.

Lately, I've been dreaming about wandering through various cityscapes. Sometimes it's a big downtown area - a concrete canyon; other times, a college campus; rarely, a neighborhood. I'm usually talking to someone while walking through, but the walk & viewing of the location is what's important, not the conversation.

During the winter, I had lots of dreams about a house/mansion - various different rooms each night, but sometimes tying back into rooms from previous dreams.

Falling from a tall building, waking up on the floor.

Only once, when a was but a mere child.

Now...no dreams, no sleep. Only facial sweat, cursing and frustration.
