DREAM THREAD: Thread for weaving together a beautiful tapestry from all your dreams

I was sitting at my desk at work in a white T-shirt that was heavily stained with gravy. My coworker spotted a large bug nearby and killed it, splattering my already stained shirt with bug guts. I looked down and saw a tick, heavy with blood, crawling away. My first thought was to tell my coworker not to smash it, I didn’t want to be stained with blood on top everything else.

While sleeping on the plane I dreampt Dolly Parton blew up the Pentagon. She folded up the statue of liberty like a flip phone, stuffed it in her bra and said “ill bring it back when youre ready” She then ascended to heaven without dying.

woke myself up from a dream because I was laughing too hard at the dream. after a long section involving a house part I was throwing, I somehow ended up in this little ice cream uh…shack? just packed to the gills with people, all waiting to get ice cream.

actually, it was a specific type of ice cream, the “concrete” (basically a McFlurry) I had recently tried in Chicago this past weekend (it was amazing, I got one with a whole slice of pumpkin pie mixed into it).

anyway in the dream they had a banana flavor which sounded great to me, and as I’m about to order, this older man who…sounded a bit and a looked a bit like Fred Willard (but was not) just kind of announced “Smells like snakes!”

and I turn to him and I’m like, thinking of a response (my immediate thought is “hot snakes?”, but I don’t say it), and he continues: “That’s what people say you smell when you’re dying.”

He pauses, then again announces in a very deadpan but funny way “Smells like snakes in here!”

and I’m just fucking hysterical

and then I wake up

Reminds me of a very long time ago, Melissa woke me up one night out of concern, she thought I was crying in my sleep. But I was actually laughing, and when she woke me up she said what’s wrong and I said “the goat slipped on the ice!”, cracking up.

In my dream I had witnessed a goat slip on some ice and do a full on cartoon backflip and splat

In a dream last night, I got home way late at night from hanging out with a friend (which was confusing because IRL I got home way late last night from hanging out with a friend) and came into the downstairs of the double I lived in (in the dream) which was located at the same place as the house I grew up in (which was not a double) and as I came in, I noticed it was packed with SB people, and Sarah was annoyed at me, and I found out that you all (like somehow all of SB) had won some film contest in Cleveland and needed to crash here. I remember the Price of Flight crew was building an elaborate K’nex set in the living room, Brooks was muttering at something on his laptop, and a whole bunch of others showed up just hanging out. It was good to see all of you.

I bought a 12 disc DVD box set called DAVID LYNCH: THE PLAY. Full of his YouTube videos and davidlynch.com rarities. Instructions to bring a bunch of friends over and watch it all in 1 sitting. In the middle of the box set is just a copy of Pulp Fiction, which you’re meant to watch and discuss before moving onto the rest of the discs.

Dreamed about some kind of TV series or movie about a boy who could visit his unborn brother through a pipe or hose or something in the bathtub, which somehow connected to their mother’s womb. The womb itself was like a Wizardry style maze for some reason, and the foetus would fly through them going on adventures, but if he went too far he would be rubberbanded back to the start by the umbilical cord

Two dreams:

1). I found myself climbing a darkened stairway to an observation deck. Through the door ahead of me I could see the Empire State Building, lit up in blue and green. The sky and clouds above in the night sky were limned in the same colors, as were the last few steps before the door. It was breathtaking and I wanted to capture the image, but I had no camera, not even a phone. I headed back down to retrieve one but got lost and delayed on my way back up. By the time I got back the sun was up and the scene I wanted to capture was gone.

2). A surprisingly detailed sequence of panels from an imagined webcomic about a girl adventurer. There was a flashback that explained how the protagonist lost portions of two fingers on one hand. A heartfelt moment with a comrade was interrupted by a surprise attack, the thrust of an enemy’s sword missing her neck but severing her middle and ring fingers off at the small knuckles. Also, the aftermath which had some tonal whiplash and was played for laughs. Panels depicting her on a stretcher with swirly “dizzy eyes”, declaring to some battlefield medics that she was fine, despite being very addled by blood loss.

Some sort of product announcement event broke out at a cellphone store I was at and I ended up talking about earwax with celebrity spokesperson Billie Elish back stage. She wanted me to listen to something using her dirty earbuds, and at some point I barfed.

One of our clients at work wanted to build a datacenter on the moon, and I was tasked with proving that the moon is sterile, because I guess this datacenter was going to be a clean room or something, so I was going to be sent there to take swabs.

@DaleNixon was living in my old house on top of a hill, and for whatever reason I was in his garage while he was in the very final stages of evicting some terrible housemate. Said housemate had a car made out of plastic, much like those silly childrens toy cars they can sit in, but this one roughly had the proportions of a proper adult-sized vehicle, and normally would have been fully functional. However, in this case, the car was falling apart, and both driver’s side doors were missing, so after the guy was kicked out the car was slowly coasting down the hill due to gravity. Dale made some sort of comment to me indicating that he was doing the guy a favor by not ruining the car more or taking the guy’s keys. (I have no idea what the guy did wrong, but he must have been really annoying I guess.)
