Dreams – 7/27

7/27/24 #1: I was at a game convention. I left the room where boardgames were being played and went through a door. On the other side of the door was a designer I know–he was dressed in women’s clothing and was selling spray paint for people to use on airplane models. 7/27/24 #2: I was playing basketball. I stole the ball and had to get past Zach Edey. I faked him out by not dribbling–no official whistled me. Once past him I started dribbling going faster and faster until I was losing control. I shot a left-handed layup and missed and realized we were playing outside. There was also no net on the hoop and the backboard was see-through. I grabbed my rebound and missed again and again and no one was coming down the court to stop me. I missed one more time when I tossed it sky high, it came down and bounced over the backboard. I caught it there and punched it back over the backboard and it went in.

7/27/23 #1: I was in a classroom against the “near wall”. At the front was a map so big it wouldn’t fit on the wall. It belonged to “Tommy”, one of the students. Tommy only had one eye and was shaped like a triangle. He got mad when someone said his map was dirty and hopped out of the room, then someone said we should clean it for him. I had the idea to take the map down and then run a plush carpet over it, then hang it back up. Someone thought it would tear the map, but it cleaned it. Tommy wasn’t happy because the cleaning revealed/left a stain(?) the length of map’s bottom which was a long narrow forest.

7/27/23 #2: I was at a performance review of me as a teacher and I was in a suit while everyone else was in polo shirts and shorts. I couldn’t move. They told me they liked my teaching but the superintendent did not. Behind me, someone put a hand on my shoulder and said “It’s been a long time, Jimmy” and it turned out the superintendent was Leo Enlow [who formerly led my former employment place], except he was young and skinny and he was dressed in a blue/white/yellow plaid sportscoat and red slacks–which made me realize he was related to Herb Tarleck. He walked around the table and left but no one in the meeting would talk to me anymore.

7/27/22: I was at a T-town meeting to approve coaches–but it turned out to be a church service instead and they had everyone Catholic get on stage leaving about ten people in chairs. The theme was “This Starry Night”–and I thought it looked like prom more than a church service. A voice told me “You’re not Catholic, so you don’t understand.” People started clapping which meant coaches were approved and then I was on a bus. When we started moving, I knew Satan was the bus driver and bad things were going to happen. Outside a Stuckey’s [1970’s restaurant on highways], I saw a Camaro sideswipe cars and a wolf climb from the Camaro. The bus stopped running and Satan couldn’t get the bus to start. I knew this was because the wolf was “Peturbo”, an evil born before the Hebrew God smited all other gods and that Peturbo intended to kill Satan and the T-Town coaches to lower the number of possible allies for God for Peturbo’s final attack. Suddenly the bus started and we got away and everyone knew God started the bus…obvious because Satan was now sitting one seat in front of me at the back of the bus. I apologized to Satan as I thanked God for saving all of us. Satan said it was no problem and appreciated I didn’t confuse him with Darth Maul.

7/27/21: I was in a showroom. There was a big crate with cargo netting and everything around it. It was a shipment of games for my company on the theme of the Wild West. I was with Carl Costas and one of his friends–Carl had his camera and his friend had a toy gun that shot suction-cup pullets. His friend shot the crate and pulled the suction cup off and it almost caused an avalanche of games. I was worried because I hadn’t sold a single copy. Carl kept taking photos, saying “Beautiful, baby.”
