I am one of those people who has lots of dreams when I'm sleeping and I can remember them once I wake up. I think my dreams are neat and I want to share them. I will try to post each of my previous night's dreams. Let me know what you think! :)

Sep. 25th, 2007 @ 08:10 pm Two dreams from last night.
1. I was running, sometimes staggering, down an aisle between rows of seats or pews. I might have been on a slow moving train or in an old church. The scenery I could see opposite me, beyond the seats, was mostly green trees. Some of the trees had leaves that were changing their seasonal colors. I think a female friend was with me. I don't remember actually giving birth but the next thing I knew I was holding my tiny little, still blood-covered, daughter in my hands and feeling most of my resistance to having children melt away into a feeling of wanting to do everything I could for her. I still had practical thoughts like she seemed small and might need premature baby care and that she's cute now but what about when she's a teenager. Those thoughts didn't really matter much though because of all the love I felt for her.

2. I was a production assistant on a movie set and had to find stuff to do. I unscrewed and replaced a sign in the parking lot so that instead of one reading "no parking" there was a sign reading "relial parking only" but I wondered what relial parking was. Then I went inside our building and cleaned up stuff.

Note: Life has been busy so I haven't updated in awhile, sorry.

Dream: I was wearing black dress pants and sitting with our Operations Manager (from my real life job). She asked me if I thought that what I was wearing was work appropriate. I was startled by the question and looked down while replying, "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?". Then I noticed I was wearing my new blue jeans (from real life). I wasn't sure how to answer her and I looked back up, quite confused. Scott Bakula/Sam Beckett was sitting next to her and I wasn't even sure I still worked with her. I kept trying to get Scott/Sam's attention to confirm if I actually worked at Project Quantum Leap. He was looking at me but didn't respond. I think I even said to them both, "It depends, it's not really appropriate if I'm working in the office with you, but if I'm working at PQL it's fine. Sam, didn't you wear jeans when you were still at the Project?".

Feb. 13th, 2007 @ 09:55 am Dream from last night & one from last week
Dream from last night(short version): I was reuniting and partying with people I hadn't seen in a long time. I realized that the next person I'd be meeting was a guy that I hadn't seen since I was 6 years old and who I had a crush on back then. He and I had an awkward conversation because he wasn't too keen on the whole reunion---his mom had actually set it up. I asked about a mutual friend of ours who I also hadn't seen since I was 6 and he asked why he would care about her. I gave up temporarily but then realized I should keep trying to communicate.

Dream from last week (short version): I discovered a large brown horse in labor. All the vets taking care of her were called away in an emergency and I was left to stroke her side and calm her while she continued. She wasn't happy and there were tubes and IV's around but somehow I managed.

Jan. 5th, 2007 @ 10:59 am Dreams from last night
(These all kind of blurred together but I think they were four separate dreams) I was with Dr. Who-he looked like British actor Robert Carlyle(sp?)-and a bunch of other people. We were all running around the Dr. on an adventure in either a cluttered yard or a really big room inside the TARDIS. The blond actress from the first couple of seasons of "Monarch of the Glen" kept turning up as the Dr.'s unapproachable lost love. Then I was at a friend's homestead and her husband was on the ground with a video camera getting footage of their wild guinea pig population. He was getting amazing shots which I could see in addition to watching him. He went into the water, either a lake or river, to get some other shots when their hippopotomous rose up out of the water behind him with its mouth wide open. It looked like the hippo ate my friend's husband's hand but he really only got the video camera. Evidently the hippo tried to eat him everyday but he'd never been successful. Later in the dream I would watch two similar incidents occur. After the camera was gone however, the scene fast forwarded to the next morning when they took a couple of boats and a helicopter to see if the hippo would excrete the camera intact. When we approached the hippo I felt like I was watching from high up, zooming in and out and under the water, almost like watching a documentary on tv. There was a big fish in the water in addition to the hippo. Then there was a big dinosaur being airlifted to the top of a nearby cliff. I think it changed colors midway there and then it fell, in slow motion, toward the water. Just as it hit the water it changed into the hull of a ship. I think my friend was next to me telling me this all represented something else. There were some other parts of the dream(s) involving grief and loss. I vaguely remember finding out that one or two people close to me had died and then just as I was dealing with that finding out about one or two more. I think I went to someone for comfort but can't really remember. There was also a part with myself and several other adults playing in the yard of a stone keep as if we were children. The yard was covered in small white stones and there was a grate in the middle that one of the guys opened and some people wanted to go down into it and explore. The yard almost looked like it was a jail but I had no other indications that was its purpose.

1: I was having a conversation with Robert Downey, Jr. about people mistaking him for George Clooney. He was upset about it and I couldn't understand how people could make the mistake. Of course, I kept referring to him as Michael (I think as in George Michael) even though I knew who he was so he was mad at me too by the end of the dream.

2: I found a bunch of "Quantum Leap" comic books on sale at a bargain chain store for dirt cheap and was going through them. Then I was at a friend(who I hadn't seen in a really long time)'s house for her tag sale. Her mom came in and I gave her a hug.

1: I kept trying to get to a meeting I was supposed to run but somehow kept missing it. I'd look at a clock and suddenly it was two hours past or I'd drive out to do something and forget. It was frustrating.

2: I was working in a theatre complex and I went to check the auditorium itself before we opened to the public. The tech guys were doing a pre-show check that involved showing TV or a video on a giant screen suspended above the stage. There were about 20 patrons scattered throughout the seating area and I had no idea how they'd gotten in. I nicely asked them all to leave, even though I knew it wasn't my job, explaining that we weren't fully set up yet and pointing out tipped over and missing chairs. Most of the people left but a few didn't. Our Stage Manager walked by me but didn't help me and then she disappeared. I thought for sure she'd want these people out of her way. I noticed a guy in a white suit standing next to me. He looked like Ricky Martin when he was on "General Hospital" but his hair was only chin length and a bit curly. I was annoyed, thinking that he was one of the patrons, especially since he walked further into the auditorium-into a group room or cafeteria at the back, under the sound booth. I followed him and found him standing just inside the doorway because there were a bunch of patrons in there. He said to me, "I can't believe they're in here too". Suddenly I saw that he had an instrument in a bag over his shoulder and realized that he was one of our musicians for the show. I went to find our Stage Manager so that she could find him a place to tune up.

I was stage managing a small memorial/fundraising concert with three singers. People involved in the production were late and didn't seem to think it was important to start on time or have things organized. Shortly before start time, the director decided to hold a meeting. He was going very slowly and wouldn't let me do my job. I finally said, "this is what a stage manager does, let me do my job!". I felt like it was time for me to take over and get the show going but no one would listen to me. Finally the director took me aside for a private chat to see if I'd like to resign. I told him I wasn't going to make it easy for him, that he'd have to fire me. I was scared but also wanted to tell him off. We went back out with everyone else and something set me off again. This time I did quit saying, "I'd like to see you find another Stage Manager half an our before the concert starts!". Then I felt terrible. I felt I had failed again and was going to have to work on my interactions with people. I wanted to call a good friend and tell her about all this but I knew she wasn't around. I also felt embarassed.

I had three "Quantum Leap" inspired dreams in a row last night but I only had time to transcribe one:

Dream: I had simultaneously leaped with Sam Beckett. We were each inside a high school student at an expensive private school. When we leaped in we accidentally messed up something for the people we had leaped into and knew we needed to fix that in addition to whatever had gone wrong originally. At some point near the beginning of this dream Al said that he had something to do back in the future and left even though I reminded him that we would probably need him as soon as he was gone. He assured me things would be fine and thenwe didn't see him again for the entire leap. I think that what got Sam and I into trouble was that, because I'm in love with Sam, I got caught kissing him by other students. They told the boyfriend of the girl I'd leapt into and he got really upset. I was also ridiculed because the person Sam leapt into was the school nerd and reviled because I'd cheated. Somehow Sam & I were also in trouble with the dean (who is an educator and friend's mom in real life). She was really mad at us and convened a disciplinary hearing. Sam and I got separated and it didn't help my case at all to be seen calling for people, Sam & Al, who weren't there. I was taken to a tower room to wait but I realized the tower was unstable and about to collapse. I didn't know how long it would be before that happened and I was scared because I didn't want to be in the tower when it happened. I burst into the hearing room and the dean was furious. I called her by her first name and said "I wouldn't do this if it wasn't really important. The tower is about to collapse. We have to evacuate. Check the other room for proof if you don't believe me." She did believe me and we evacuated. I was a hero and was reunited with Sam on the lawn in front of the main building. We thought we were all set, surrounded by happy & grateful students, and wondered why we hadn't leaped yet. Then we remembered that we had to fix what we'd goofed up when we leaped in. We realized we needed to go back inside and retake a test or something. Then I found myself watching the scene from the outside as Sam and I walked back into the school. It was like a camera zooming out. In a few moments, two simultaneous flashed of blue light came from the front windows of the school's main doors, one on either side.

I was sitting next to a window on the left-hand side of an elevated train. A friend of mine (from real life) was sitting directly to my right. Her body, however, was occupied by a (real life) regional radio personality who shares her same first name. I told her that I really like the daily show that she's on and she was genuinely flattered.

A guy was showing me through a building, and out to the parking lot behind it, before I had to start an important mission of some kind. Behind the parking lot was an active volcano. It made me nervous and I told the guy that.

Note: I had two other cool dreams last night but I don't have time to write them up right now.

Dream 1: I was under arrest but no one would tell me why. A friend of mine, who works as a college police officer, was locked up with me. Evidently she'd done something but they didn't want her off the force. She would be let out each day to work and then have to report back to our cell after her shift. Our cell was large, with a sunken space, and had a comfy couch.

Dream 2: I was getting a haircut from a new person at the place I normally go to. I mentioned something to her about not being able to breathe through my nose, possibly because she'd blocked it somehow. I asked her to undo what she'd done. Then she was writing up the bill and it looked like she was going to charge me for the haircut and the "nose job". I was upset but didn't know how to tell her. She also stopped cutting my hair too soon and I had to ask her to cut more off because I like it shorter. I really wanted another inch or so taken off but I told her I just needed it a smidge shorter because I was afraid and upset. I knew it was supposed to be a cheap haircut but everyone else working there usually did a good job.

I think I was Harry Potter, though I may have been a ghost for the first part of this dream. I was in a huge, beautiful, mansion. I walked through a wall. Then I was trying to fly up through the ceiling to a balcony. Later, I was in a courtyard, invisible, and took food and a coffee urn from one of the two breakfast buffets set up there. I had to put them back before anyone noticed they were gone. When I went to do that, a passenger train pulled in behind the tables. Professor Snape was acting as conductor and I didn't want him to know I was there. For some reason, I thought I was supposed to put the items back on the train but the train began pulling out before I could get to it undiscovered. I sent a mental instruction to compel the driver to stop and he did. Then I realized that I didn't need to get on the train. I let it go and replaced the items on the tables while I was still invisible.

I was at my college alma mater sitting with a group of fellow students by a lake. A guy I didn't like was going over rules and some other women gave us a task of "get to know you" questions. We were supposed to be in teams competing with each other and I didn't like that idea or the rules. Then I noticed that my stomach and bowels didn't feel good so I asked the guy if I could go to the bathroom. He was annoyed because we'd just gotten started. He said, "no, you can go at 3pm as stated in the rules." I replied, "I really don't feel well and I'm not trying to get out of this assignment." He asked me, "what would you do if you were home watching TV right now?" I said, "If I felt like this, I'd be wondering if I should go to the bathroom right now." He sighed and let me go. The bathrooms were in horrible condition, the stall I chose was a mess, and I thought the toilet was going to overflow. Then some women I didn't like came in and stole my red lipstick and my pool cue. I threatened them and we went back and forth with the items and were yelling at each other.

Dream 1: Alan Chartock was driving a bus. I was sitting directly behind him and my ex was sitting across the aisle from me. My ex asked me, "What program is Wanda Fisher on?" I replied, "Dancing on the Air". I immediately felt embarassed and said, while nervously looking in the rearview mirror for Alan's reaction, "That's not right, that's Jay Ungar & Molly Mason". I couldn't come up with the correct answer, however. Then I noticed a pedestrian crossing in front of our bus. Alan was going slowly but neither the bus, nor the pedestrian, was stopping. I was worried that Alan was going to hit her. At last she finished crossing, and we didn't hit her, but it was close. I think Alan then made a comment about irritating pedestrians or something like that.

Dream 2: I was in an antique, wooden, train or trolley car. I was working and left to do something. I came back to find the car full of people watching a theatre performance taking place inside. I couldn't get through to the work I'd left at the other end of the car. It was frustrating. I remember the narrowness of the car and the beauty, and hardness, of the wood.

Oct. 19th, 2006 @ 03:25 pm Cool dream from last night.
A friend of mine's male relative had passed away and friends and family were invited to their house to go through his things and take what we wanted. He'd lived in their garage and was a woodworker. I was looking at some picture frames he'd carved but a little girl took the one I really wanted. They were intricately carved in scrollwork patterns instead of just plain slats. My friend and I were going through his books. I ended up taking his cartoon book collection after sheepishly making sure my friend didn't want them. There were a lot of kid and young adult books I didn't take because the family still had kids in the house. There were also video tapes of the original Battlestar Galactica TV series & something called DinosaursEARTH that I really wanted and eventually got.

Later, I found myself in the world of the original Battlestar Galactica. I was at a dinner table pal-ing around with Dirk Benedict and Richard Hatch as Starbuck and Apollo. Then I was in the Viper landing bay. The blond woman who was in love with Starbuck was in charge. I saw her reflection in the glass as she had her headset on and was guiding a ship to its landing. I was somehow both watching all this and participating. The ship that was landing was small and clunky, without a lot of automatic controls. I had to remind myself that this was the older show so the technology wasn't quite as clean or advanced.

Suddenly, we were being invaded and I had a giant wad of old, dark purple, chewing gum in my mouth. I actually felt we were being attacked before there was any evidence of it. I found cover and was trying to clear the gum from my mouth. At some point, I saw Colonel Tigh but it was more like Colonel Tigh's head on someone else's body. I ran into Boomer at some point too, I think it was later, as I was escaping. I went down the ladder to the landing bay floor, through a door, down some passages, avoiding red and white search lights, until I was outside of the ship. It was daylight and kind of looked like normal street here on Earth, maybe in California. There I discovered androids that looked like normal people, got rid of my gum, and realized that I either had magic powers or was a good android myself. I could emit an electric spark at the bad androids that caused their entire circuitry to fry. I was doing that to one who looked like a youngish woman with curly brown hair but she wouldn't fully shut down. I think I whined that it wasn't fair and kept jabbing my emitting finger at her. Finally even she admitted she should be done for.

Sep. 22nd, 2006 @ 05:43 pm One dream from last night
I went into a basement library that was mostly for kids. I saw the 4th "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" book on a chair and was excited. I didn't take it, however, because it looked like it belonged to someone else---the chair held a jacket and bookbag too. I went upstairs and was cleaning out stuff with my sister so we could move somewhere. I thought all the stuff was hers but, as I was going through some framed paintings leaning against the wall, I found some beautiful pencil drawings done by a friend when we both belonged to a local science fiction club. I wanted them and my sister agreed that they were mine so I could take them.

Sep. 21st, 2006 @ 05:21 pm One dream from last night
I was in the office of a group that I'm part of in real life (though it wasn't their real office in the dream). I completed some tasks, that I don't remember, with the help of a guy who worked there in the dream. Then I needed something additional done (that they don't actually have anything to do with in real life). I walked into a non-public corridor and asked the guy who'd helped me before to help me again. He was busy at his computer and told me it would take him a few minutes. I felt sheepish even asking him for help with this and said, "ok". He was kind of cute.
Next, I found myself in my car on a dirt road near the entrance to a retreat owned by my college alma mater. At regular intervals along the road were signs that proclaimed whose land this was and that a code was needed to enter. I was driving up to the gate, where I would have had to that enter that code on a keypad to get it to open. I tried to stop my car well back from the gate but it kept creeping forward, even though I had my emergency brake on. A line of cars was behind me. On my second try to stop my car, a subaru wagon type vehicle---decked out with alma mater and alma mater crew team stickers---pulled up next to me, cutting the line. I honked my horn repeatedly. I got out of my car to go to the keypad and the crew coach got out of her vehicle. She apologized and explained why she'd done that. I actually wasn't angry and told her that. Then crew-tons (current students on the crew team) and crew team alumnae began pouring out of the cars and the crew coach gave me a big hug. I realized this was some kind of weekend where both alumns and current students were on campus for something and it was time for crew practice.

A friend of mine's body was suddenly taken over by an alien I knew. His voice changed and he may have started acting differently. When I realized what had happened, I gave his body a big hug and said, "what the heck are you doing here?".

I was back in college but the class was really small and informal. I was sharing website tips with my teacher. She had me add a cooking top ten list, or something like that, to my website and I wanted to share it with chefs as well as with her. The teacher in the dream resembled a friend of mine in real life and also another teacher I know.

(Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things have been very hectic the last two weeks. I hope to be posting fairly regularly from now on.)

Dream 1: I was a passenger in a car that my ex was driving. We were going up a circular onramp somewhere and it seemed endless. We must have made the circuit 8 times and at each level there were exits but nothing was marked. It was a tight circle and nerve-wracking.

Dream 2: I had a dream involving a, recently recaptured, escaped convict in the Northeasern United States. I think I was talking to him and getting information from him trying to prove that he is innocent. I think I was also filling his name in as a crossword puzzle answer.
