20 dreams in one

I was in San Francisco with my friends Lindsey and John on vacation. We got hungry so we found a place called the My Way Cafe. The food was terrible, and John got very angry and stormed off to go shopping. Lindsey and I followed him to the shopping district and then I realized that my shoe was broken so I went to buy myself a new shoe. I then headed back to the hotel where my friends Katie, Kathy, Chrissie and Alison were sitting on a couch, all wearing cute white sundresses. I was very jealous as I had been wanting a white sundress, so I left and went to work.

We were having a meeting for the Law Enforcement Torch Run on a Friday night, and the room was full of people I had never seen before, so we started doing introductions. I got confused about the order we were going around the table in, so I accidentally went out of turn. My co-worker Jeanette got furious and started screaming at me and told me to leave the room, so I went out in the hallway where Matt was sitting. He had just been playing some 3 on 3 basketball and was hungry so we were going to get some food. Suddenly one of the cops from the meeting came up to me and told me that he had lost his son. I went looking for him and found him down the hall in detention with some other kids. I decided that I should hold a fundraiser with these kids, so I told them that if they each gave me a dollar and ran a mile, I would give the fastest one $10. My fundraiser made $40, so I went back into the meeting to give them the money, thinking that would redeem me, but no one cared.

I then wandered down the hall where a bocce competition was going on and my friend Kati was trying to understand the rules of the game. I tried to explain them to her, but she couldn't figure it out and got frustrated, so I took her into the textiles and clothing room to show her the exhibits (apparently we were now at the state fair). We walked around looking at all the projects on display and then came upon a woman working on a quilt. I picked it up to look at it and then couldn't get it hung back up on the wall so she ushered us away from her. Behind us, we found her cat. His name was Louie and he looked remarkably like my cat Louie so I tried to pick him up. He was not a friendly cat, and he hissed and ran away. Then we noticed that this woman had about 17 cats in the room which frightened us, so we left.

My friend Dan was having a sleepover, so I went to find Matt so we could go to it. We stopped by Matt's house to pick up a few things, and I noticed that he had painted his house bright yellow and had red awnings (it was not pretty). We went to Dan's and sat down in a circle to play a game. My friend Corey tried to offer me some Twizzlers and I said no, so he was mad at me. Then Dan realized he had no food in his house, so Matt got very angry and demanded that we go eat at the Flying Mango. At this point it was 8:50 and the restaurant was only open until 9, so he started yelling at everyone to jump in my car so I could drive there as fast as possible. On the way there I saw a blue PT Cruiser so I punched Matt in the arm (PT Bruiser) and then I woke up.

Phew!

Airport drama

I have forgotten the beginning of this, so we'll pick up in the middle...

I had just returned from a cruise with two of my friends, both of whom are named Dan. We were walking through the airport trying to catch our flight home when Dan A. decided that we needed to go find his parents in a different terminal and spend the night in their tent with them. Dan E. and I weren't interested, so we tried to move on, but Dan A. was very adamant and started to throw a temper tantrum in the airport. So Dan E. and I left him and went to the airport bar to have a beer, where we found Dan E's parents. They informed us that the flight we were trying to catch was a chartered plane from Victoria's Secret which was just wrapping up a photo shoot. Suddenly the airport was full of super models. Dan A. reappeared and was now in a HUGE hurry to board the plane...and then I woke up.

Dana's Donuts

So I was working at Hy-Vee, almost at the end of the shift. Dana (my co-worker) came in to by a 6 pack of donuts, but she only has a family of 5 so she wanted me to eat the extra donut. I said that I would, but I had to clean up first. Dana got tired of waiting for me so she took the donuts, found Louie (my cat) in the store, and let him loose in the parking lot.

I chased after Louie, and found him on the side of the store being attacked by a large man with a big dog. I ran to Louie's aid, and the man and dog started to attack me as well. Suddenly someone from the parking lot came to help me, so I ran after Louie who had managed to escape. I found him behind Hy-Vee relaxing in a vegetable garden, so I picked him up and took him to my friend Kati's house.

Suddenly I was in an episode of Lost. Inside Kati's house, Jacob was there, but he was evil and he said he needed me. I tried to run away but was stopped by Jack, who I thought was going to help me. Then Jacob walked over to Jack and put his hand on Jack's shoulder, and suddenly his eyes turned black and he too was evil. I realized that my only hope was to run out the garage door and down the driveway, so I opened the door and tried to make my escape, but Jack was waiting for me to chase me back in the house.

I spent the next ten minutes or so running out the garage door repeatedly and being chased back in before I managed to wake myself up.

It Starts

After talking about this for years, I'm finally going to do it...it's time to start logging my crazy dreams. I get a lot of funny looks and comments about my dreams when I show up at work in the morning with my latest story. So here we go - my fear is that now that I'm going to document them, I will stop having them! Good luck as you travel through my crazy head!
