Dreams – 10/12

10/12/24: [fragment only] I was eating a vegetarian dish that was all green and in a gray/metallic tub (like SPAM comes in)

10/12/22: I was in a traffic jam [curious that this happened on the same day last year with a dream] and I decided to get out of my car to play baseball. There were lots of people watching and I wound up throwing a perfect game, but I found I was dreaming (within my dream) and the cheers were cars honking and I had been pitching against a ‘pitch-back’ mechanism from my childhood.

10/12/21: [long dream]

I was in a car in a big traffic jam and was passing a cell phone to other drivers stuck in traffic so we could all watch the same video, The police arrested the entire traffic jam. My punishment was that I had to go back to school–and it was suddenly 2001 and the students were people I taught previously. The first thing I had to do was walk down the halls to find “Room 3367” and Mrs. McKinney. That was to determine my writing proficiency. All the desks were taken, so I walked up to the teacher and she handed me a big pencil and the big paper with dashed-lines used to teach printing to 1st graders. I said “Really?” and all the students answered “Really.”

I left the room to find a desk and suddenly I was in the upstairs room where I used to teach. There were rows of tables, all filled with students and big computers at each spot. I asked Michelle V. if I could sit down and she started crying. She said “I’m pregnant”. Then Curtis and Sean started talking about how horrible it was moving computers from the old building to this new school and Matt S. said, “At least they built a bridge to cross.” I looked outside and police were setting up barricades.

Then I was outside walking in to the convention center for the Volleyball Convention. I forgot a mask so I had to take a ‘mask emergency pack’ that had a mask and two hotel-sized containers of hand oil. I put the mask on, went through a door, and I was outside again. I turned and there was this boom-mic set up on a machine-gun tripod and then Erin Andrews was there and told me my presentation last year was great and that she wanted to interview me once I had my writing assignment turned in.
