Dreams – 5/12

5/12/25 #1: I was on an interstate with Steve McMichael (he was driving). The road split and he was taking the right fork and we needed the left. I grabbed the wheel and he hit the brakes but we did not make the turn and a gate came down, stopping our car for traffic heading the other way. A white van started our way but its driver couldn’t brake and it skidded towards us. I got out and pushed our car (it was a black Cadillac) out of the way. The van stopped sideways blocking the road completely. McMichael said “We’re not going anywhere for a while.” 5/12/25 #2: I was in the back seat, passenger-side of a car. Jason Matthews (game designer) was outside the car on the driver-side and he was saying something to me I couldn’t understand. We were in a clearing, but on the right, the car was against water and the water was up to the window which was why I couldn’t get out of the car on that side, but there was no water at all on the left. I worried that I was going to drown but I couldn’t get my seatbelt undone. 5/12/25 #3: I was on the top bunk of my room in Westgate (307b). The room was attached to an arena so I was courtside to a basketball game. Players tried to keep a ball inbounds, but a Celtics player caught his finger on the metal-rim of the court and was on the ground injured. No one realized he was hurt until I started yelling then a group of players huddled around him. I told the medical staff to go help and hurry–the staff was sitting next to the bunk bed–was where the room dresser sat between the closets. When the trainers went out there, a tall dark-blonde guy with a scruffy beard looked at me, and I told him I didn’t like how things were going and that this is why we needed to have ‘reserve games’ and he said ‘some people do those but around these parts, we don’t.

5/12/24 #1: I was in a pond but it had concrete sides like a swimming pool. I was playing with a toy shaped like a torpedo. I wound it up and threw it, and it would always reorient itself and come back to me at 70mph, but I would dodge it and watch it hit the side of the pond/pool. I was amazed it didn’t break because it was plastic–I then realized it was a kazoo with a motor inside. 5/12/24 #2: I was looking out our kitchen window at kids playing on the County Road. Our kids were out there and very young and I saw a car coming from the west really fast. The kids all got out of the way and then a toddler climbed from the ditch on the other side and the car wasn’t paying attention and hit the kid. I raced outside, yelling “Call 911”. I got to the toddler–she’d been imprinted into the road which was dirt/mud (it is asphalt in real life). She didn’t want to move, so I tried to put my arms on either side of her in a sort-of hug and told her it would be all right. Then the dream cut to the Cumberland County sheriff’s office video footage of its drones trying to find a silver car with damage to its front left. “We don’t see anything, but we’ll keep trying.”

5/12/22: I was at the back of an all-white room that reminded me of the Star Trek Enterprise bridge–where the viewscreen was, there was a huge bay window. The sun was shining in but there was snow everywhere, so it was all white as well. In the room, there was a woman at the window looking out wearing a white bikini. There was an old XXX star sitting at a table naked (Nina H.) except for a poofy white feather boa. She was really tan. Next to her reading the paper was VB alum Kate E.’s dad. He was also naked with his legs crossed reading the sports page. None of this seemed strange. What was odd was that there was no coffee anywhere, so I went through double-doors (positioned where the Enterprise lift would be) into the “Coffee Room” to brew coffee for everyone. It was REALLY weird no one had any coffee.

5/12/21:: I was commanding a sub but it was like playing Sub Hunter not real. The sub would dive to the bottom of the ocean and never rise no matter what I did. I called tech support and pointed out I’d been playing it since 2005. They sent someone to meet me–but I was on a bus. I discussed the problem with the guy (who was a navy captain). He was convinced we could solve this by going to Assembly Hall in Bloomington, IN so we got off the bus and started walking through a big city’s downtown towards Bloomington. My entire team joined us for the walk. The captain decied to carry a big heavy wood chair but kept complaining he didn’t know how heavy it was. One of the players wondered how any of this would help since “Phantom of the Opera” was being performed there, so we stopped to think about things.

5/12/11: I was at my Mom’s house with her and Pete. A bunch of people were there and we were hiding from a killer locked in the upstairs until the ‘killer exterminator’ showed up. While waiting, we watched the neighbor have a stove delivered through her kitchen window.
