Dreams – 3/31

3/31/25 #1: I was an instructor of some sort trying to get boys to line up straight out in a field. The ones closest to me were black and as the line moved away, their skin color got lighter–the farthest kid was pale white. I couldn’t get the attention of the two most out of position–the boy two people away from me wearing a bright red speedo and the boy after that wearing a white full-body leotard with red and yellow tiger stripes. I yelled out something and a voice came from somewhere else “Speak English. They can’t understand you.” 3/31/25 #2: I was at a counter in a crowd and people were putting their belongings on it for some sort of security check. A guy in a security uniform was moving slowly towards me and I saw he reached out to try and swap out my cell phone for a different one. I grabbed the phone and took off running for other police. I saw two near the door and that they were the “Flora, Illinois, Police Department”.

3/31/24: I was teaching in a big lecture hall but I was only talking about my absence policy. The students applauded. One person was counting down with her fingers from five until it was a fist. Then I was in an office building talking to someone when a ninja appeared and stuck a chopstick in both eyes of the person I was talking to. The ninja took me hostage–and then I wasn’t the hostage anymore, I was with two other people in another building and we were talking to the hostage (but couldn’t see the ninja), then the ninja slit the hostages throat, and said “Hi guys, surprise!”

3/31/23: I was sitting in a maroon canoe reading a magazine or comic book. I was a child and I couldn’t see over the sides of the canoe. Then the view switched to the lake’s shore and I saw a massive sea monster come up out of the water and start to bring its mouth down on the canoe.

3/31/22: I was eating dinner with my sister outside somewhere. She was unhappy and asked me “Do you suffer from the miasma of life?” I didn’t know what she meant and she said she didn’t get to spend any time with her husband because of work and kids. I suggested scheduling time each day but that Chris needed 8 hours to sleep and 8 to work. She said that was outrageous. We then talked about her vacation time at work and she wondered if she should leave for “Memorial” and get their extra two weeks of vacation and mentioned her friends suggested doing that and then immediately returning to her current job to take their two weeks vacation time sign-on bonus. I then realized we were eating in the road in front of the old Economy Roofing on South Dittmer.

3/31/21: I was walking in a small, quaint village with my father-in-law. We were walking in the night towards the river. We were on the coast in Mississippi and the town was Hattiesburg (even though that isn’t on the coast and it isn’t a quaint village. I saw the river up ahead…but people were boating right in front of us. There was a stream. Turns out we were barefoot and waded across.

Down river there was a BIG city skyline and there was a ton of moonlight and blue lighting/glow but I don’t know where it came from. There were a lot of stars, too. Once we were across the stream, we went downtown and snuck into a business–because nothing was permitted to be open because of the pandemic. Inside, I found out it was my father-in-law’s birthday and his brother was there with a couple of friends with some fast food to celebrate–but no food for me. I noticed the shelves were all full of out-of-print games and I wondered how I could smuggle out a copy of War in Europe without anyone noticing.
