Only in Dreams

People envy me (and rightly so) because I have vivid dreams. I don't really know if they are in full color, but they are always quite vivid, and I can usually remember them for a few hours into the day. Last night was a rather peculiar set of dreams, but nonetheless I feel like it is important to get my dreams out there so others know what my little mind is doing when nobody is paying attention to it.

Let me first tell you that I was up late, till about 2am, and that is really not normal for me anymore. We got home to two crazy kitties who probably were just wondering if anyone was coming back to feed them, and we basically headed straight to bed. Before we nodded off, a ton of things that I was simply too lazy to get out of bed to check went buzzing through my brain including "Did we lock the door?" and "Did someone just come in?" This slowly progressed into, "If the dudes who came in have guns, I wonder if they will kidnap Nick and I can hide under the bed." Needless to say my mind wanders, and it probably is not surprise to anyone that my dreams ended up being loopy. So without further ado, here are two.

Dream 1: Me and Nick were driving along, and got car-jacked. Somehow we managed to slip the car-jackers and get in the car and drive away, but one of them had left a bag in the car and we were now on the run from them with their stuff. I opened the bag at one point to see that it was filled with money. It was not filled with normal money however, it was filled with gold coins with pictures of people that I knew on them. It looked like each coin was a person in my life, and I could only equate that to them wanting me, not Nick and told him to go on without me. I took the bag and ran through a church, trying to hide and seek sanctuary, only to find out that the priest was a mormon, not a catholic, and he wouldn't give me sanctuary unless I went into the "conversion room" and converted. I looked at him like he was craqzy and ran into a bathroom to hide. It was here I found a mirror, and it was lined with gold coins with faces of people from my past. From here I threw the rest of my coins in the toilet, because a lot of people lining the mirror are now dead and I was freaking out. It clogged the toilet, and the coins were crumbling in the water. The crazy car-jackers came in and screamed "No!" really loud and elongated the "o" and sort of melted to their knees. They kept getting smaller, and I was getting even more confused, and started asking them "Why me?" over and over till they disappeared. The End

Dream 2: Me and Nick were on a road trip with our best friend's kid. We had had her for a couple weeks and were bringing her back to her parents, however there were people following us who would do her harm, and kill us to get to her. At a gas station a red lazer beamed into the car, and a gunshot rang out just as we were pulling away. We realized the seriousness of the situation, and decided the trip had to be quick. Along the way we ran into my grandmother, and she said she would help us, but we had to get moving. We went to a reception of some kind to pick up the girls belongings, only to find out that there were a lot more people who wanted her, and we would never get out of there alive if they knew we had her. We were trying to figure out a way to leave without getting caught when we found some styrofoam boxes, and we slid her into one. My grandmother who was not ebing watched took the burden of taking her to the car, and was really surprised that she could simply walk out. We got to the girl's parents to see them fighting over the fact they had been in a hurry to leave the last time they were at a guests house, and had left all their clothes and only had three pair. Apparently this chase was their lifestyle, and we happened to have a lot of the kids clothing, and offered to ship the clothes back as long as they made us dinner. They were attempting to make dinner when they pulled out something that looked like a block of cheese, and found they had no idea how to prepare it. They asked me if I knew how to prepare tofurky, and I suddenly became an expert saying "Just soak it in water with the seasoning you like on low heat and it will be ready in 25 minutes." The End

Weird huh!?! Aparently having possible intruders in my home really gets my mind going. As a heads up, the door was locked when I woke up this morning, and the only bad things that happened overnight was the paper mess the cats made by jumping on loose papers, and the breaking of a bamboo stalk on our table. Nothing major at all!
