Dreams – 4/21

4/21/25: I was in a church(?? It had pews in it and was a big open space??) and needed to get someone to the exit through a crowd. At that point, I received tactical support and soldiers started firing to clear a path because the assembly became a mass of zombies/creatures. It changed to first person at the door. I realized different soldier-types had different rates of fire and armor values. Then the zombies were blasted, came back, got blasted again, and this repeated several times until the door was cleared. It was the soldier next to me in blue (40k style) armor who was the person I replaced in 1996 at my first HS coach job. He had a weapon that looked like a flash drive. He said that’s what did it and all he ever had to do was be close to the recharging station. I noticed a giant-sized outlet in the corner.

4/21/23: I was in a cafe with Matt Lawrence–who was in his 20s in the dream–and another guy who worked in DC in Congress. I told the guy I wanted to run for my district’s position. The guy put an arm around me and said I had to talk softer because of the ‘wackos who support the current Fuehrerin’ and that “Hoffman downstairs has decided to run, too.” I said I didn’t know what to do. The guy left and a middle-aged woman sat down. She said she would be my campaign manager. I told her I was going to have Matt as my ‘vice-congressman’. [I forget this bit of the dream] Then I told her Matt was the son of Mike Lawrence and she was impressed and then I introduced her to Matt who was sitting right next to her and he just kept giggling at the woman.

4/21/22 #1: I was in a store but the shelves were all empty. I told someone (the manager?) I wanted to play pinball so they brought a machine out of a giant freezer. The manager told me “That means the game is pretty cool.” They put it against a wall so I could play some before it warmed up and wasn’t cool to play anymore.

4/21/22 #2: I was skiing. It was Banff, Alberta, and I was with Roger Moore (007) and someone else. Moore was complaining because it was night and the slope was too dangerous because the sun melted snow into ice. He said it was Olympic-rated and would kill us. I knew I wouldn’t make it because we were 20,000 feet up–and also that it was the back hills where I went to grade school. I turned around carefully and cross-country skied through some woods looking for some other way to get to the bottom of the mountain.

4/21/21: I was in a fender-bender someplace where they had ‘accident investigation sites’–to keep people out of traffic. While there waiting for the police, the person who hit me/I hit and I were talking when someone opened fire at us. We ducked behind his vehicle which turned out to be a van the A-Team used. We hid behind the thicker parts engine block) because the sniper had a gun which could penetrate through both sides of the van.

While we were there, we realized there were other accidents, too. A police officer was interviewing another driver and they laughed at us for hiding behind the van and then the officer’s head blew apart. The driver hiding with me and I both said at the same time in that kid sing-song voice, “Told you so.”
