In my dreams, I hang out with musicians and hockey players

Well, I haven't had a crazy dream in a while, so it's only fitting that this one included four different scenarios of crazy...

Part One - In which I travel in an SUV with Todd Carey and his band

This part of the dream started in a parking lot, and I had a suitcase or some sort of other bag with me and was clearly going on a trip. And I knew it was with Todd, but didn't know that when I opened the door to the SUV I'd be sitting next to him or that he'd be a complete nut bar. Someone took my bags and put them in the back and seriously, this SUV was PACKED! And so, we head out. And I honestly have no idea why I'm there because I'm not in the band, but I clearly know Todd and we're having fun, and seriously, he's just silly and we're clearly friends, but I don't know anyone else in the SUV. We stop at some sort of eating place and all get out and it seems the place is partially closed, but we wander through and then end up back in the SUV and we're back on the road. Okay sure. That could probably happen.

Part Two - In which I take a job and have to deal with a skeevy bathroom

The dream morphed to me sitting in a tiny office at a new job that I have no idea what is. And I'm trying to figure it out, but no one is very forthcoming, and I'm frustrated. This office is in a huge building, and it's all very dark and dingy, and when I went to the bathroom, it was ultra skeevy, and the stalls didn't have doors, but no one else seemed to care. Thankfully, I didn't stay very long in this part of the dream.

Part Three - In which I hang out with Joe Thornton and he smiles and laughs a lot

So somehow, I'm friends with Joe Thornton - yeah, that could probably happen too - and I can't honestly remember what we were doing in the dream, but he smiled and laughed at me pretty much the whole time. There was a car involved, and maybe I was driving it, but it was clear we hung out all the time and were good friends. Also, he was wearing the suit he was wearing in the booth on Saturday night, with that same amount of scruffy beard. Okay. Sure. Why not.

Part Four - In which I'm on a farm and pull a giant blue dog out of the ground

There were real friends and family in the last part of my dream, but that doesn't make it any less crazy. I was on a farm which may or may not have been my great grandparent's farm, and a couple of friends were there. I'm not clear exactly what was going on, but at one point, I was focused on getting the dogs in line. And these dogs were hibernating or something because they were all underground outside. And so one of them, I just called its name and it dug itself out of the dirt and took its place. But the other one, whose name was Joe by the way, had to be pulled out, and he was the biggest dog I've ever seen. I'm not clear on the breed, but maybe he was a mastiff. I just know that he was blueish in color and was practically sleep walking when I pulled him up from the ground. 

Shortly thereafter I woke up and I shall now be on the lookout for giant blue dogs, Todd Carey's SUV and Joe Thornton. Any bets on who I'll run into first?

Dream on my friends...dream on...
