Dream: Can’t Let Go

Every so often I’ll have a dream involving an old friend of mine. It’s been a good year and a half since we last talked. Every time I have these dreams involving him, I always wake up sad.

I’ve made a new friend. I’m planning what’s next in life. I don’t understand why these dreams keep happening. I guess when you’ve been friends for so many years and he’s was your best friend, some things are a bit harder to let go.

While this dream was more comedic than others, it doesn’t change the fact I still woke up feeling the way I do.

Even if I were to see him again, what would I do? What would I say? Especially when you know you’re the reason that he doesn’t talk to you anymore. I just feel like it would cause him more pain.

(He felt I treated our friendship as a joke. I realized some things I did were at his expense, away from others, and tried to correct that prior to learning how he felt. But it was too little, too late.)

This is probably the first time I’ve actually spoke of this publicly. I haven’t even mentioned this to our friend group. (I’m sure they put the pieces together long ago.) Maybe saying something will help my brain move on. I wish it would. I feel like I have… but maybe I haven’t.

I hope he’s doing all right.

Dream: YEAH!

Had a dream where Limp Bizkit released a new version of “Rollin'” that was basically the same as the old version but with more f-bombs in it.

That’s it. That’s the dream.

Dream: RV

Had a dream last night where I gave my parents a RV (that I think I won on a game show?). One of the features I was showing off was how the seats in the center could be turned to look out the windows on the side, face forward, or toward the center around a table.

That’s it. Significants of this dream? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Dream: Unexpected Visitors

Sleeping in my bed. Half waking up to voices. They get louder and familiar. “Should we wake him up?”

It’s my parents and one of my brothers. I try to get words out asking why they’re here. My parents said they were helping my brother move and wanted to stop by since they’re in the area. My brother then says I should remember to lock my door. Guess that explains how they got in.

I’m still trying to wake up. I mumble to my brother “I guess you live in town now?”

Then I woke up.

Dream: Drive to Nowhere

I don’t remember how this started, but I’m the passenger in a car driving through the mountains of some part of the country. I’m looking out the window watching a stream that runs parallel to the highway.

I thought this would be a quick trip and realize I need to be getting home. Oh wait. That’s right. I’ll just use the teleport app on my phone. Crap. I can’t. It only works on Android phones and I have my iPhone with me.

Oh wait. I forgot. This isn’t an actual car ride. It’s a virtual drive! All the windows are actually monitors. We’ve never went anywhere at all!

Or did we?

We get out of the car and are now in a canyon somewhere. There are a lot of other cars and people standing around. There’s a stage with a series of chairs for an audience to sit. It’s a presentation for this new virtual driving technology.

The presentation is about to start when the whole front row is taken out by a giant stone pillar! The audience freaks out and starts running from the stage. Organizers are trying to say it was also a virtualization and wasn’t real. But everyone is already running away screaming.

Vince McMahon is yelling at the organizers telling them to fix this mess and get the people back. I guess Vince is running this?

And then I woke up.

Dream: It’s the most wonderful wizard

Don’t remember much about this dream. These two points stick out:

  • I was put in charge of creating a Christmas music playlist themed around the Wizard of Oz for Clear Channel radio stations.
  • I also had to go to the local hardware store and pick up decorations based on said theme.

Dream: Cookies

My brother and I are driving to the mall because he has to get cookies before the next episode of Saturday Night Live. I ask him why, to which he responds by saying a line supposedly from a cookie related sketch from the show. I still have no idea what he’s talking about.

We park at the mall. I walk toward the entrance when I realize I forgot to close the car door. My brother also reaches into the car to take the faceplate off the car radio. He leaves the faceplate in the seat and takes something else behind it. The car has an open roof, so I ask him if he’s sure about leaving it. He responds it’s fine.

We enter the mall which happens to have a few cookie stores right next to each other. The first is a kiosk selling ice cream sandwiches. The next is selling typical mass produced cookies. I direct my brother away from them to a third store that sells fresh, made that day cookies.

We look around at the various pastries, including cakes, ice cream cakes, and cookies. Everything is sold in individual slices or bundles. I’m trying to decide which bundle of cookies to get.

I finally decided on a bag of peanut butter cookies. I’m looking around at everything else. The place is busy and some of the aisles are narrow. I reach my arm out with the bag of cookies to get around someone. My arm barely goes outside the store perimeter which sets off an alarm. I apologize to a nearby worker.

Then I woke up.

(There was a party earlier about winning a free Power Rangers toy but that’s all I remember about that.)
