Dreams – 12/4

12/4/24 #1: I was at a banquet table when Jason Matthews sat down–though he looked old/tired and had a heavy 5 o’clock shadow. We were discussing access to the Senate and he said people had to be over 21 to enter because it was like a nightclub. I mentioned my son Mike had been there as a 14-yr old and Jason said “That’s because he was in a suit and tie.” I responded “Just like your son.” He said “Exactly.” We then looked at a photo of Mike at the bottom of several flights of stairs looking up at us. The photo was from ‘the Senate gallery’. 12/4/24 #2: I was in an area concealed by a blue vinyl curtain. I was with Robert Redford and we were spying. I was on lookout while he hacked into some wiring. He put an Airpod into a hole then moved it to another and talked into it like he was making a phone call–then he moved it to a drain where he held the Airpod under a gallon of water he poured on it. I heard a voice say “We’re getting a fluid-data transmission right now.” I decided we needed to leave and started walking (I was in suit/tie) and came across the ‘head of science’. Rather than avoid him, I made chit chat then head for the exit. It was blocked by workers so I went to the next one which had painters. I went into the stairs but they’d been removed for the painters’ ladders. I stepped on it and it cracked, so I went to the elevator instead. In the elevator (Redford was back again), the door closed and the elevator fell and crashed, turning sideways. I hit the Emergency button and a voice said “We are already tunnelling to get to you.”

12/4/23 #1:

I was kidnapped by my dad–except I saw his face and he wasn’t my dad. I was in a Cadillac with him and he explained that he needed me to plan a dinner/meeting for him, everything from the food I would need to cook to the shape of the table to the location it would take place at. We pulled into the garage of the Dietz family house on W. Hayes and I knew that we’d do everything in the basement and that I’d get four square tables and put them together into the shape of a ‘J’. It turns out my dad was trying to figure out how to marry Julie (my wife) and that they were planning together how to have kids. One of the guests was worried because Julie was 48 and would be 70 when the baby graduated college. I realized Julie had lied about her age because she was actually 65 (in the dream)

12/4/23 #2:

I was in a park/open space and needed to go to the bathroom, so I walked into the restroom which was a concrete building without a door–the entrance curved for the sake of privacy. It was pitch-black inside the lavatory so I felt for a light switch. I didn’t find one but I heard a noise, so I backed out quickly–and there was a guy leaning against the entrance in silhouette. He was smoking a cigarette and he was with two other guys. I worried they were going to mug me but they explained they were taxi drivers and to prove it, they started throwing crocheted V-2 rockets at me. This convinced me so I asked if I could get a ride to ‘central campus’ (I think I was at EIU)

12/4/22 #1:

I was in an oval arena–a rodeo-like area–and it was a political meeting of some sort. I was in charge but I was pinned to the floor because someone else was seizing power. I spotted the person walking the concourse. It was Russell Crowe. I waved my magic wand at him and pounded the ground with each step he took which made the stadium shake. He disappeared from view and then appeared in the balcony to give a speech. He was standing next to Adolf Hitler and I realized Nazis were taking over except it wasn’t Hitler. It was Terry Jones from Monty Python.

12/4/22 #2:

I was watching the Bears play football against the Bills. The Bills tried a fake field goal with their holder, Trevor Lawrence. He tried to run around the right end but bounced off a defensive lineman so he threw the ball at the lineman instead. The Bears then had the ball and Justin Fields threw it twice to Darnel Mooney but kept throwing behind the receiver even though he was wide open.

12/4/21:

I was part of a big group playing “Super Third Reich.” around a table the size of a volleyball court. I was controlling the northern half of the Soviet army, heading towards our goal of “Petrol City” [which seems like my dream ‘misheard’ Petra-grad…St. Petersburg]. I wound up not feeling good so I went to the public restrooms and it was a long lavatory–so long I couldn’t see the other end. I wound up sitting in a stall with a cell phone and moved my units remotely and I realized I could’ve still played if I’d stayed at home on my couch.

12/4/20:

I was invited to a Marine Corps event so I could enlist. I was there with two people from high school (Maria Deniston, Mara DeLeon) and we had to wear baseball caps and had to leave our coats inside-out on our chairs. To help us decide, they *resurrected* dead Marines who were dressed in all black and wore Oakland Raiders caps. They took us up some stairs to a casino and to reach our hotel rooms, we had to run over a defensive lineman dressed up to look like he was in the Air Force. I knocked him by blowing on him like a birthday candle. When I got to my room, I found the furniture was made from snow.
