Some crazy dreams; driving a semi, stepping over snakes and being in a Hollywood studio... from last night!

I had many crazy dreams last night and most of them have already faded, but I will recount what the pieces of the dreams that I remember.

In the most recent dream, I was sitting in the passenger seat of a semi truck and the driver jumped out at a red light, leaving it running and didn't come back soon enough, so I had to try driving it from the passenger seat. I was mostly steering the truck, until I came to another red light and I remember feeling slow acting, so I couldn't react fast enough to jump into the driver seat and take control of it, but luckily, just a split second before I got to the intersection, the light turned green and I just kept on truckin. Then I managed to get into the driver seat and was now in full control of it, except that I have never driven a semi truck before! But I have driven a stick, so I used what I knew and managed it. I went on for another 10 minutes in traffic like this and was actually starting to feel a little proud of this accomplishment too! But I knew I needed to turn around at some point and go back to pick up the driver, who I think I remember being a friend of mine in real life, but the memory of exactly who this person is has faded since waking up. I came up to a roomy shopping center parking lot, so decided to turn around there. Then as I was slowly driving through the parking lot, next to the shopping center, some people who were walking very slow, made me have to stop abruptly. They then looked up and apologized, then got out of the way and I kept driving, back out to the road and on my way back to pick up my friend.... when I woke up.

Before this dream, I was visiting a Hollywood studio for some other reason, than working there in some capacity, was there for other business, which I'm not sure what that was.  I had my camera with me and was taking pictures of some of the interior rooms, as well as a few of the people. I did see a couple famous people and took pictures of them. I remember feeling a little excited about that opportunity too. At one point I was in a movie set room with a few other people and we were waiting for someone to arrive to do a shoot. Then some strange things happened in this room and it became all messed up and full of dust, with the appearance that it has been there for a long time. Then a director showed up and was full of glee that it looked like that and he said it was perfect now. Then I helped him carry in some large pieces of furniture that were very antique looking. This is all I remember of this segment.

Before this dream, I was just trying to get somewhere, walking at night throught the countryside with a friend. He said he needed to go through the woods and get something and would be back later. I was supposed to sit there and wait. But a few minutes after he left, I thought I would venture into the woods and try to find my way and catch up with him. I remember at one point feeling that familiar dream paralysis, where I could just barely move and everything I did was so slow. I was sitting down on the ground and noticed a large snake in front of me. It wasn't moving and I thought it might be dead, but I didn't want to touch it and find out, so I tried to step over it, but I could hardly move. Finally I got over it and then saw another snake, just like that one. I repeated this same process, then immediately found a third snake! This is all I remember of this dream sequence, but at some point during the same dream, I realized I had to cross a huge field to get my shoes and socks, which I left there earlier. This field had 5 long rows of Christmas lights laid out from one end to the other, each strand was about 25 feet away from the other and they were parallel to each other. So I walked across the field and that seemed to take a long time to do. When I finally got to my shoes, a farmer who owned the field was near my shoes and I introduced myself and told him I was just there to get my shoes. He was apprehensive at first, but when he realized that I really did just want to get my shoes and go on, he seemed a bit more at ease. I also asked him about his Christmas lights which were strung across his field and he told me that it was something he had to do. He began to explain the reason, but I really didn't understand and it made no sense. This is all I remember of this segment.

So, it was a busy night and I woke up feeling like I needed to rest a little more, to recover from my dreams!

Dream of Albert Einstein's office and working as a janitor and running naked through an office

I've been having some really crazy and vivid dreams lately. Most are drawn out adventurous sagas. This is a dream I had last night.

I was with my cousin at a place like Disney. Not sure if it really was Disney, or just another them park like Disney, but we were walking around looking for a place to get a drink. I remember feeling like having a good drink was all I could think about. Maybe I just felt like getting a buzz, maybe it was a form of escape or maybe I just needed something to take the edge off the stress of life. In real life, I don't usually drink very much or very often too. I'm also not sure who this person was that was supposed to be my female cousin in this dream.

So we finally found a single $5 mixed icy alcoholic girly drink. We seemed to finish it off immediately and then I was on the hunt for more. I was very conscious that I didn't have very much money to get a drink with and was a little hesitant, since we were at Disney and everything there was totally over priced, but I really wanted a drink! After walking around a bit, looking for a suitable place to get a drink, we wandered into a casual restaurant and we each got a $5 small glass of beer. Mine was dark, stout and very tasty too. Then we walked further into this restaurant and ended up in some small attraction that showcased Albert Einstein and this particular room was a set up reenactment of his office, including his desk and everything else he had in his office. I was fascinated by this and just quietly studied his entire setup, every object on his desk too. I remember feeling like I wasn't supposed to just hover there for too long and should be moving on to the next exhibit, but I couldn't help but just stand there and absorb as much as I could of this wonderful opportunity that lay before me in this exhibit. Then a lady who was in charge of the exhibit came up to me with a little Albert Einstein doll and some other nick knacks that were part of the exhibit and she told me I could have them cause I really seemed sincerely interested. At first I wasn't sure if she was joking or if there was some kind of catch to this, but I realized that she was being completely serious, so I took those items and held on to them really tightly, as I sat there and watched a very long presentation in this room with maybe a dozen or so other people. Some of these people seemed jealous that I had these items and they seemed like they would try to take them from me if I set them down. I remember this Einstein doll sort of morphed into something that was electronic and more complicated during the course of my dream.

When this presentation was over, I took a walk down a long hall that seemed like it was part of an office. Then someone who was in charge of that office, asked me to run the vacuum cleaner real quick, before I left. I obliged and as I was vacuuming, noticed that the floor had a lot of little objects like pencils and other graffiti that I wasn't able to vacuum up and was trying to vacuum around. I finally decided I needed to stop running the vacuum and actually pick up this stuff and put into the trash, then also take care of the trash as well, before I resumed vacuuming. I also realized that this was no longer going to be just a simple and quick little job but that it would take a lot more effort and time to do it right.

This is all I remember of this dream. I may have woken up about then. Many of the small details of this dream have already faded, but I have enough of the basic story to be able to recount the main thrust of this dream.

Another night I dreamed of being in a capsule sitting back facing the sky, watching a bunch of symbols, numbers and code flashing before my eyes. I asked the pilot who was sitting next to me, what was happening. He told me it was a time machine. Just then the capsule turned to the right and we took off, flying around just above the ground and apparently trying to dodge the fire from other strange looking crafts and vehicles, some were friendly, some were enemies and I just wanted to get out of there. The next thing I remember was landing back inside the building where we started, which was apparently a place I was working. I got out and right then I saw my boss through a window looking into some kind of sauna. He was in the room with a bunch of other people and he was also totally naked. I remember thinking how on earth could he be doing that! Then I realized I was naked and my clothes were no where near me, but on the other side of the building. So I ran through the building into a room that had my clothes and slipped them on, with thankfully no one seeing me naked. This is all I can remember of this dream.

I don't know who this boss was because I am currently looking for a job. Maybe this was a bit of peering into the future? The office setting was very modern and yet was unlike any place I've ever worked before too.

Please feel free to interpret either of these 2 dreams as best you can, even if you aren't an expert dream interpreter. :) If you leave your interpretation as a comment, I will publish it, unless it's full of hate and venom, then I will delete it of course. lol thanks for reading!

Here's a nice little song from Red Hot Chili Peppers from their Californication album called "Parallel Universe". It's not only one of my fave RHCP songs, but seems to sort of fit with the theme of this post as well. Enjoy!
