Dreams – 4/28

4/28/25 #1: I was on the football field at my HS at the goal nearest the building. There was some sort of game going on, so I brought Joe Montana into the game. When the game was over, I walked Montana over to a white desk with an old lady behind it–because I needed to return him to where I checked him out of (like a library book). 4/28/25 #2: I was in a ballroom being used as a gym. I was coaching during a drink break and explained that we would work on serving/passing and aces would be worth 2 points, errors would cost 1. Ashley Fearday (who I coached 2001-04 in HS) came up to complain the drill was unfair. I said “You didn’t let me finish. Blocks are worth 5.” She then slit her eyes and smiled at me while nodding. I then saw my UIU A.D. sitting at a desk in the middle of the gym. I walked past him and saw white windows were open (but all had grime/mold on them). I tried to open them further but they slid back down [this comes from my apartment windows, I am sure]

4/28/23: I was in a prison, but I wasn’t a prisoner OR part of the guards. I was in a storage room and there was a HUGE plate glass window when someone decided to break into the prison and take everyone hostage. I hit the fire alarm switch and the power generator off button and police showed up right away, but the hostage-takers went outside with their lawn chairs, sat with the police and convinced them nothing was wrong. I started banging … — …, … — … on the window but only the hostage-takers heard me. I saw my wife and daughter and they heard the pounding, too, but they didn’t know Morse Code, so they left without me.

4/28/22: I was in an arcade next to an auditorium. Someone came in and asked me to babysit at their home. It was a mob boss so I agreed and went to his house. His wife was at the house and wanted to still take care of the child, so I told her the kid could entertain himself with one of the guns laying around. Then I was back in the auditorium and all the mob families’ kids were there playing with guns. One went off and then moms were all holding bloody children–because once one was bloody the moms all wanted theirs bloody also so they were dropping their babies, shooting kids, and I ran out because the Mob would be mad. I went back to the Mob boss’ home and parked in the grass in the backyard in my pickup truck and realized it hadn’t been a mansion, just an old shack. The kid was still inside, playing with guns, but handling them like an Old West gunslinger. I then was back at the arcade but couldn’t decide what game to play.

4/28/21: I went to Keokuk, sitting and paddling a skateboard while my grown daughter clung to my neck. The trip was okay except that somehow we didn’t make it to Iowa and wound up in Hillsboro, Illinois instead. My daughter took the skateboard to continue on to Keokuk. I stayed in Hillsboro because I found a Michelin-star buffet inside a big circus tent. Everyone was in formal attire except me and the head chef. He was happy to see me, sat me by myself, and said I could try anything once the other guests had gone through the buffet line. The chef sat down and started reading a book–and I noticed he had two separate masks for COVID protection—one that was form-fitted to cover just his nose and then another looked like a belt strap that covered his mouth only.

4/28/16: Todd Francis invited me back to Allen CC to be a guest speaker and comedian. I learned from students how to roll down hills in a straight line and that the art outside the administrative offices which looked like a giant ski ramp should NOT get used as a ski or skateboard ramp. Todd said he was responsible for all the renovations–including the addition of masseuses and a casino where the gym used to be. …I asked “Does John Masterson know about all this?” but Todd wouldn’t answer….
