Are your dreams as wacky as mine?

17 years ago

Many of my friends have said that I have the strangest dreams they've ever read. If I remember to, they are added to my blog. Here's one of my favorites, back in 2006. This dream had about 5 or 6 dreams in one...does that make any sense? Anyway, here it is.

Started off working at Target pulling carts with Snowden *that had me creeped out to begin with* and then Target had grown into an airport. Then I was an airport worker or just a bystander talking with someone and a guy came through with something and they looked at it and decided it wasn't harmful. Then I was walking in a field with someone...don't remember who he was, but suddenly the planes start taking off and have F-18s behind them shooting at them with ducks...yes, I just said ducks. Anyway, after about 20 minutes in the field having to dodge the planes & ducks, we went back to the airport and then what we had been dodging was part of 9/11 because all of the news stations had that on in the airport. Then I was back to working at Lowe's, but really just trying to help with fundraising for 9/11. While I was doing this, I saw some people that I graduated with at Pace and handed one of them a T-18 (tray of 18) of salvia and told them to take it to the next worker. Anyway...after that there was some formal thing and people from work, PJC, & Pace were there...and I think it was at FSU or something, and I remember being annoyed that I was in a dress, which is normal for me, and that's all from that part of the dream. Moving on from there, once again we had people from work, PJC, & Pace and we were either in a Troy or FSU dorm and were about to go set drill for a field show...but for some reason I needed to change and when I came back out, we were all in the lobby of the dorm and talking about the uniforms we were going to wear. I was hoping they weren't going to stick me in my crappy drum major uniform again and then we all started walking down the road in front of Pace High School....Norris Rd. that's it. Then we get in the parking lot and apparently are having auditions on a porch of some sort...and then I woke up.

So, anyone else care to divulge? :) I have many more, but this one always makes me laugh with the "duck ammunition". hehe

I don't dream often but just last night I dreamed I was walking out the front door and there was a huge Ram standing there...Like the hairy mountain goats that you see on TV except this one was brown and his hair hung almost to the ground. When I walked out the door it was breathing hard and pawing the ground and he charged at me...Thankfully I woke up at that moment.

I very often dream about being in this large house that seems to be mine, and I am trying to decide where everyone is going to sleep. The rooms usually are empty but many of them. I am just so very frustrated in this dream!

I also dream that I am looking for a restroom, and they are all just out in the open in a store, college, or wherever. I usually really have to go to the bathroom when I wake up!

What's your dream wishlist 2008?

I've become much more disenchanted with selecting rose varieties than ever before - I'm not sure why, maybe because I'm still limited to my own window ledge and haven't been home to my old garden in a few years, but I don't think I'll be ordering much this season. I'm dismayed at the closing of Sequoia and may try to get a few rare things from them before the end. It always seems that the most promising varieties are quite out of reach, so for now, I think I'll concentrate my efforts on breeding more than acquiring and see if I can't make the rose I'm craving but simply cannot buy. At work, I'll continue adding to the collection of wonderful Chinese rose species and cultivars; this is one of my little pet projects to increase public (and institutional) awareness of these amazing and largely well-adapted plants. Marianne (if you read this), do you really feel that both helenae cultivars are equal in hardiness, and that your zones 4-5 are warmer than ours? From reading which roses do well where in Scandinavia, I was under the impression that a zone 4-5 hardy rose where you live is roughly equivalent to one at my home in Minnesota, also zone 4-5. I was also fairly sure I understood that 'Lykkefund' is less hardy than 'Hybrida', which hopefully is soon on its way to Ashdown from Europe courtesy of a certain GW member! Stefan

let's not be practical - your real dream house

I stumbled across this very old thread just today, and I thought I'd tell you how my own story turned out. I got some of what I wanted, not everything (no one ever gets everything, which is fine). I turns out that I got the most important parts, and we are very happy here. We got a smaller house, around 2600 sq feet. It is exactly the right size for us. I think if it were any smaller we would feel squashed. As it was, it took us a couple of months to adjust to the smaller space. It is on a quarter acre lot, and that turns out to also be exactly the right size. I want a beautiful garden but I do not want to be working in in 40 hours a week. And I am no longer interested in battling wildlife to harvest fruits and vegetables, so I am growing ornaments. Well, I may add some culinary herbs next year. We will see. We are in a lovely, friendly college town. We can walk so many places, library, grocery store, restaurants, parks. Driving has become more of an option and less of a necessity. That means that as we grow older and driving becomes problematic, we will not be forced to move. I watched my Dad struggle as his vision deteriorated and he faced the possibility of having to leave his home of 50 years because he could no longer safely drive. I think it would have killed him. Fortunately one of his daughters came to live with him. We love historic houses, and we got one. It was built around 1920, and updated about 10 years ago. Updating can destroy the historic quality of a house, but fortunately for us, the previous owners had taste quite simlilar to ours. It functions like a modern house, but retains most of the architectural flavor of the era. Yay! We will change a few minor things - tile in one bathroom and on the fireplace, one light fixture, and most important, adding built-in bookcases since my DH and I are both book people. A house does need to reflect the interests of its inhabitants. But essentially, we just moved in and felt right at home. Things on my list that I did not get : window seat, big pantry, big laundry room with space to hang laundry for air drying. They woud be nice to have, but fade in importance when compared to what we did get. Things on my list that I am especially grateful to get : New but historic style casement windows (they are gorgeous and I love them), a combined kitchen-family room (I am surprised how much I actually like this), gas burning fireplace (haven't used it yet, but will when the weather turns cold. Besides, Christmas.) This house simply works, and works well, and in our opinion it is absolutely beautiful.

Whats your dream laundry room?
Q
Comments (43)
My dream laundry room is about to be slightly modified but it is a dream. It's about 13'x10'. All cabinets are built-in and I have a single pane french door that leads to a deck plus a window so there's lot's of light. One side consists of room for my ironing board to always be down. I have a great heavy duty stainless drying rack and hanger that is positioned over the heating vent on the floor. I have a Jiffy 4000 steamer. I have a built in craft table with cabinets above and to the side that house my sewing machine, craft supplies, wrapping paper and ribbon and all my dog grooming equipment. I have 2 Bichons so I have a grooming table on the craft table as well. The other side is long counter all the way with a 47" dual stainless steel built-in sink at the end. I wanted it large enough so a bucket could go on one side and I could still wash a dog on the other. I have a TV mounted under cabinet that I can't image living without, makes folding and ironing tolerable. Under counter, I have a True (Bev-Aire) restaurant grade double frig. That is where I keep my cocktails to make ironing tolerable....joking,maybe. I use it to store drinks for the kids and really use the extra space when entertaining as I can stage huge platters of food, etc. Above is all built-in storage for linens, rags, pool towels, dog shampoo, etc. Modification will be happening very soon. When I designed it, I used undercounter washer and dryer but not only are they on their last leg but their capacity no longer can serve our family of 4. I'm going to cut into my beautiful long counter and put in some LG Steams. It will no longer be one long counter but I believe it's a sacrafice I have to make for capacity. i will also change to stone on counters. Unless someone has a really huge undercounter washer and dryer they can recommend, the demo may start this weekend. I designed this laundry room when we did an addition about 7 years ago. I've yet to see a laundry that I love more than mine.

Your dream kitchen thoughts???
Q
Comments (24)
My dream kitchen would be surrounded by garden on 3 sides. I'd really like a drop edge swimming pool with the close up view of the ocean, on the 4th side but then it wouldn't be attached to a house. No matter where I'd look year round the garden would be chock full of beautiful plants and edibles. And there'd be an outdoor kitchen set up. The kitchen itself would have room for a crowd to mill around in and to cook! My family is big. And many of us cook. The aisles would be wide and the prep areas plenty. Of course I'd have induction with extra single hobs, a MW, toaster oven, and 2 wall ovens. I'd have a large fridge, a beverage fridge, 2 DWs and 2 sinks. I'd have a pantry with another DW and sink just off the kitchen, with enough space for the dogs and cats feeding stations and food. I'd want a fireplace and surround sound. I can see it clearly. The lovely blue granite or glass island, the copper perimeter counters with the attached apron front sink...myself reaching out for some basil and chives... and the splashing and laughter of my family at the pool... Hey you said dream kitchen... I think mine would be bigger than most. My family still comes around weekly for meals and DSon lives with us. What empty nest...But practical me would still want it to be set up right. Not quite sure where we'd eat, but that's not new. We often eat at the sofa now. I vote for eating in the garden under netting of course. I dislike sharing my meals with wasps! Which are plenty this year.

Me thinks.....Molly needs to stop watch "Sci-Fi".

Phillis, I have had that reoccurring dream several times.

I miss taking the RX Chantix for Nicotine WD, I had the most wonderful colorful dreams. Now, I'm having boring drama dreams.

I hate it when just when I'm about to have an "affair" with the most gorgeous man alive. I wake up. Only to find a dog staring in my face.

Second time, I was saying "are you going to take all day"

Scared me kinda sorta, me talking! :o)

I had a long involved dream, but the only part that I remember was that I found some toy horses...Trigger and Buttermilk, that were Roy Rogers and Dale Evans' horses...and Topper, who was Hopalong Cassidy's horse. I collect old plastic animals from the 1950's and I do have Silver and Trigger. I often have weird dreams, but never scary ones.

I very seldom have dreams but boy when I do... I can't top Cindy's though - LOL

I used to have a still picture in my mind of my DD walking by me going to my room while I was in my parents bed. He was always carrying a bucket full of water and some cleaner. I know what it comes from - if any of you read my peanut and peanut butter post from earlier, you'll know that it was when I had scarlett fever as a child. Whenever I was VERY worried about something that would happen. When I turned 28, it suddenly stopped - CRAZY.

The worst dream I had was super scary - I was dreaming that someone was stealing our car, right outside our apt. window. It turns out, I wasn't dreaming. I must have heard them. It was during the time when thieves were stealing spare tires out of cars. After that or right before (can't remember exactly) they stopped putting full-size tires in cars because of the cost of rubber. I woke up from the dream and thought - my then DH hadn't gotten home from work. He worked the post office late night and had mandatory OT. I fell back to sleep with the same dream. I woke up again - it was 5am then, and DH walked in the door right after I woke up. He told me that he had gotten home earlier but was outside talking to the police an a neighbor because someone had broken into both of our cars to steal the spare tires. I asked him when he got home. It was when I woke up the first time. He just didnt' come inside. That was really scarey.

Yes, all the time. Mostly because I wake up so often that I go back to sleep and start over again or I can even continue on with my previous dream. I often wake myself up because I figure things are so bizarre that I must be dreaming.

Are your dreams as wacky as mine?
