Another Planet, Dreamed ??-??-??

This was a really strange dream I had years ago but it has always stuck with me.

I was on the front steps of a building waiting for the bus to pick me up to go to a strip club. The bus pulled up and all of the people in it looked sickly and miserable. Someone mentioned that their appearance was a result of being on another planet without oxygen for 2 hours. I got on the bus and was brought to a skyscraper in the middle of a city somewhere.

In the building there was a line going up the stairs to the top floor. A friend of my was tending to the door to the movie theater on the top floor. Another friend and I went into the theater to watch the show. I can't remember what movie was playing, but it wasn't a normal movie. During the show I could see someone wheeling a cart into the corner of the front of the room.

They paused the show and turned the lights back on and asked for a volunteer to come up of the front by the person with the cart. The person who wheeled out the car held up a brown piece of material and then swished it around in a big bowl of water on the cart. He told us that it was now sulfuric acid. He then grabbed the volunteer and shoved their face into the bowl.

When they shut the lights off and turned the movie back on they were preparing some other sort of demonstration in the front of the room. My friend and I were scared as to what they wanted to do and quietly got up and left.

In the lobby we realized that we were locked in and that the building was starting to shake. It was about to launch and take us to another planet. She and I began to panic, the feel of the dream at this point was frantic. We took the receptionist's newspaper and threw it at the door to break the glass. She was mad that we ruined her newspaper so we threw a bunch of money at her to replace it. My friend and I escaped and rode bikes through the city to get out. There was a lot of road construction going on at the time.

Twilight Vampires, Dreamed 3-9-10

I swear, I've never seen a Twilight movie or read the books ever ever in my life, I guess I just know about it from all of the talk about it.

The dream was Twilight-esque. The main characters from the movie all seemed to be there. We were in the woods hanging out and talking but our activities weren't being video recorded. Some of the people were vampires and some were the shape-shifting animals. I gave Robert Patterson a nosebleed when I accidentally kicked him.

We were in a banquet hall and were ordered to move all of the chairs to the wall of the room. Only the girls were doing the work while the guys were just sitting and watching. The head of my department at school was there handing out thank you cards so that we could fill them out and distribute them. He also told me to pick up my gum box from the store. I had a book and a pin attached to me.

Zombies, Dreamed 3-9-10

Zombies were taking over the world. In order to stop them you had to cut the power to the building they were in then you had to injure them. I was in my house and there was a box of frozen meat that they were trying to get at. I was having a hard time finding something sharp or heavy enough to kill the zombies. At another point in my dream I was not in my house but fighting zombies at various other locations.

Spring Cleaning, Dreamed 3-5-10

Sometime it's tough to read my dreams after I write them down first thing in the morning and sometimes they can seem pretty delirious. I thought I'd share one particularly entertaining dream entry, a direct quote...

"Arnold Schwarzenegger chases us. Peeing on things. Comic strips."

Ok... now onto the Spring Cleaning dream.

I was with a bunch of children and other young people on a flight of stairs. The person closest to the bottom had a shovel to take the sand and remove it from the stairs. The rest of us had other tools to clear the stairs off more, like brooms. We would advance farther down each step to clean them.

There were a bunch of men in the room. One was telling us to clear off the stairs. There was also an old Chinese man man handing out jelly beans. They weren't just jelly beans though, they had some sort of strange properties.

While we were cleaning off the stairs, one of the kids fainted and turned into a wax doll. There was a section of floor that the men wanted us to clear off. It felt like an ancient burial ground. We didn't want to clean it based on what just happened to the other kid. Someone threw the jelly beans. There was an evil, unsettling atmosphere in the room.

Public Restrooms, Dreamed 11-3-09

I was at a public restroom that boasted a 'quick and automatic toilet system.' In order to use them you needed to buy a ticket. First you had to wash your hands and dry them by shaking hands with the hand dryer. In the stall there were instructions. The toilet would allow you to go and then wait for a certain color change before it flushed. I was too nervous to pee so I left. Afterward the person I was with wanted to buy another ticket to use the restroom.

Soccer and Snakes, Dreamed 4-23-09

I was part of a professional soccer team and lived with one of my teammates. This particular teammate had a pet snake. The snake could walk like it had legs by twisting itself into loops and 'walking' like each loop was a leg. The snake cage (which was more like an open cardboard box) was right next to my bed. I was mad at my roommate because the snake would sometimes get under my covers.

I quit the team so that I wouldn't have to be near the snake. My ex-roommate still visited me but would bring along that damned snake. He would let it slither around in my presence and I would get really really mad. It would also come in my direction.

An older woman came by one day looking for the snake. My ex-roommate and and I looked for it everywhere. I got nervous thinking that it might be in the pants I was wearing and frantically checked them to make sure. All of a sudden I realized that the snake was in my hair. I leaned over so he could take it out. It was wrapped in my hair like a hair tie. I started crying and wandering around trying to find someplace to take a shower.

Are Old Ladies Considered "A Dirty Job"? Dreamed 4-29-10

In my dream I was Mike Rowe (from Dirty Jobs) and was being shown around a room by this elderly lady. Each quarter of this rather large room was brightly decorated in a different color. The room was empty except for the red section of the building where there were a few dressing rooms.

In another room in the same building I laid down on a padded table (like the ones in doctor's offices). She laid down next to me and started drooling all over and licking the front of my shirt. I had to gently push her away. Once I managed to escape from her I met the young woman who was responsible for taking care of the old woman. The girl seemed very apathetic about everything. She admitted to sometimes locking the woman in one of the rooms to prevent her from wandering around.

After I left the building I discovered that I had been in a big red barn. At this point in time I was not longer Mike Rowe but myself. I was waiting outside of the barn. He and I took a nap in the back of his pickup truck.
