Dreams – 4/30

4/30/25 #1: I was beside a single-lane highway out in the countryside and there was a race starting–but there was also a wider pavement area that narrowed again. The first cars were actually Wehrmacht tanks and halftracks and they were driven by Monty Python actors dressed up as Hitler and his coterie. 4/30/25 #2: I was playing volleyball on the middle court of a gym with three courts. We sucked and couldn’t score. The other team wouldn’t hit the serve to me, so I moved forward and had a perfect pass but there was no setter there. I turned and yelled “Where the fuck is the setter?” but we didn’t have one on the court at all. I then noticed our net was twisted (I undid it) and that we were the only game still going in the gym and that we were so bad we only had three players total (including me) playing.

4/30/24: [partial dream only] It started top-down like a computer game/Diablo-style–the next I remember it was like a movie-shot with me and two women tied/handcuffed, blindfolded, kneeling on the ground. We were working on escaping. One of the women got free but then was immediately grabbed/had her mouth covered and taken away. We were told she was captured, but it was all apparently a training situation because the ‘camera’ cut to two women (one in a sheriff’s outfit, the other the woman who freed herself) sitting and waiting for us to break free. –The dream then goes back to top-down and a single figure that I knew was my mom pointing to the right [reason forgotten]

4/30/23: [fragment remains] I was in a car on the driver’s side, but the passenger said we were in England, so we immediately switched spots and I was driving on the left and then we had to pickup people at a hotel, so the car transformed into a passenger van, but when we only had two people wanting a ride, it instantly was a car again and since it was Canada not Britain, I was on the left side once more. I thought it was such a cool idea to have a vehicle based on Schroedinger’s Cat.

4/30/22: I was in a gym coaching but there were no nets or balls. I didn’t actually know what sport it was I was coaching and the players were all wearing knee-length white t-shirts with different black letters on the shirt front (one letter on each shirt). Then I was in a store and someone came up to hug me–they had black hair over their eyes and I didn’t know if they were boy or girl. The person’s name was “Miz”–Miz was a she but she was dressed in all black because she was now identifying as my friend “Erik Johnson” and even had his golden driver licenses and his wallet. [Of note, today I’m heading to Erik’s house as we divide his game collection, seven months after his death…bummer of a day.]

4/30/21: I had a dream I was in bed naked with a volleyball player. She said her dad would be upset we were together. I told her not to worry about it. She asked why–and I said because I’ve been in bed naked with him, too. Apparently that made everything okay. –also, this was in my sister’s room at my mom’s house in Davenport. So I laid down on the floor and the VB player was going to do a cartwheel over me when my neighbor now and his kids (who were all young rather than their current ages) ran up the stairs towards us. I got dressed. They were in my room eating birthday cake that had been sitting there since I was 16.

4/30/18: was playing Advanced Squad Leader withEric C. and he was setting up the Russians. The new version of “The Guards Counterattack” required 120x 4-4-7 squads and the game didn’t come with them. I didn’t object, but then he mentioned that in addition to Colonel Berki, he got to use the new Soviet leader: Jesus. Jesus was a *-10 leader. Eric explained the asterisk meant that if he died, he came back for the next scenario and that he couldn’t break. I protested, but he showed me the scenario sheet and he was right.
