In my dreams I ride in a school bus, hear Todd Carey and want Chick-fil-A...

I vaguely remember the first part of this dream...I was at a movie theatre, but then got picked up by a friend and proceeded to get into the school bus/winnebago thing he was driving. Inside said vehicle were his kids and a whole bunch of their friends. Meanwhile, his kids and their friends are all grown, one of them is even married in real life, but there they were, inside this vehicle...let's just go ahead and call it a bus.

So he's driving, and his daughter is in the passenger seat, but there's a seat between, so I slip in and we start to go. I attempt to sleep, but it's futile. I chat with his daughter for a while then move to the first bench of seating and pull out some crazy notebook that's long and skinny and has various activities/tasks on it...like games you'd play when you're on a cross country road trip or something. I'm just sitting there flipping through it and then I hear a Todd Carey song coming from the boys behind me, and they're asking who sings it, and I'm telling them It's Todd Carey and am stunned that they're listening to it and more stunned that they like it. Because these are boys who like hip hop and r & b. But I go with it as the song plays.

Then as it plays, my friend's son starts talking about the lyrics to another Todd Carey song, asking if they are, in fact, from a Todd Carey song, and again I'm stunned and I'm like, "Yeah. And how do you even know that song?" And he just smiles and laughs and I have a new appreciation for him and his friends. 

At some point, my friend leaves the driver's seat and goes to the back of the bus to talk with the girls sitting back there, and no one's actually driving but we seem to be staying on the road. I reach into my bag and pull out my laptop and open it like I'm about to do something sneaky, which of course I'm not, but I open it and the boys are asking me all kinds of questions about it, but I'm sort of ignoring them, then end up closing it and putting it back in the bag.

Meanwhile, my friend's daughter decides she better take control of the bus because, in fact, we are about to go off the road, so she moves into the driver's seat and I sit in the passenger seat and neither of us are clear why her dad hasn't come back up front yet. 

We pull into a town and it is now clear that we're in Wyoming. Well sure. And there's a Chick-fil-A, but we don't stop, and I'm instantly bitter that there are no Chick-fil-A's where we live, but it's a short-lived bitterness as we keep driving.

Finally her dad comes back up, and takes over the wheel, and something's up, but we're not sure what, then we learn that someone has spent $80,000 and there's no money left and now we have to find out what happened.

And then...I woke up...And that my friends, is my own personal crazy.

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...

In my dreams, Todd Carey has blond highlights and I wear a wedding dress

Yeah, so, I had another one of those totally random dreams where the parts were completely disconnected from each other. I do remember that I fell asleep watching The Big Chill so maybe that has something to do with the crazy? It's possible I'm just crazy.

Part I - Todd Carey

So, in the dream, I was visiting Todd at his house...more like an apartment...and actually, I think it was his mom's house/apartment. Not that I have any sort of idea what type of residence Todd or his mom live in...but I digress. Anyway...there were Christmas decorations everywhere, but it wasn't Christmas; not even close to Christmas actually, and I thought it was odd. I sat down in a recliner chair, and Todd's mom was on a couch. And she was very sad, like some tragedy had occurred, but I wasn't sure what. Then Todd came in and his hair had blond highlights - not a good look to be honest. And he was sad too. And I felt bad, but I didn't know what to say. No words were spoken and then the scene morphed.

Part II - Wedding Dress

In this part of the dream, I was in a bedroom, and was wearing an orange dress, but put on a wedding dress over it and was dancing around the room with my dad. I'm not sure if we were practicing for a dance or what, but it was strange, and I didn't seem to be enjoying it. The scene shifted, and I remember there was a cat on the bed, near a box of stuff, and then there was a lot of stuff on the bed...and it seemed like I was supposed to be doing something with it. Then I stepped out, then back, and the stuff was gone with the exception of one box. And in the box was a garter, and I was in the wedding dress again, still over the orange dress. And I just sat down with the box and the garter and wondered what was supposed to happen next.

Seriously. What is wrong with my brain?

In my dreams, I sleep through U2 and Rob Thomas laughs

So, I woke up from another crazy dream this morning, starring me, a friend and U2...Rob Thomas and and another friend also made an appearance. 

So I had a ticket to U2 and it was the second night in a row I was seeing them. My friend bought a ticket from someone on the street...and ended up paying only $71 (yes, $71!!) and it was a front row seat. My seat was high up, and oh yeah, Maroon 5 was opening for them - yes, whack.

So the concert gets going and I fall asleep. Like SOUND asleep and sleep through pretty much the whole concert. Clearly a dream!! But at some point, my friend was in this crazy costume and was part of the show, and it was HILARIOUS! She was in this silvery outfit and was roaming all around with other people in silvery outfits, and then I was awake and sitting on the front row of a different section, with my other friend and, oh yes, Rob Thomas right next to us. 

While we were waiting for our silvery friend, I was talking to her about the other concerts we were going to...Rob Thomas, Green Day, and also mentioned I had two others besides those (that would be Todd Carey and I don't know what else, because that's the only other one in the same time frame - and yes, we really are going to see Rob Thomas and Green Day in real life; and I'm seeing Todd Carey too). Rob Thomas was laughing to our right, but I'm not sure he heard us, and when I tried to say something, it was clear he was on the phone and totally ignoring us, so then we just left. and then my alarm went off.

Completely cracked. Yep. That's me.
