Dreams – 7/6

7/6/25 #1: There was a race going on where people had to walk from coast to coast and once you started moving, you couldn’t stop for any reason. The TV show/dream would cut from contestant to contestant as they got caught stopping. One fell asleep on a massage table while another was arrested coming out of an outhouse. I wondered what the winners got and a voice boomed out: “$10,000!” 7/6/25 #2: I was in a room with Jonathan Pryce (British actor) except we were police investigating a crime syndicate. They were about to get away with it when I realized there still $3.62 in a bank account for Amy Copenhaver (friend Steve’s wife) in Independence, Iowa that the criminals forgot could be traced to them. I said “We’ve got to get that money first.” Pryce picked up the phone to call the Independence bank.

7/6/24 #1: I was in my grandparents’ kitchen in Keokuk and it was the end of WW2 and we were fighting the Russians. There were a lot of people with me (impossible in real life because of the kitchen’s actual size) and we needed to get to the front door to escape. We headed through the dining room/hallway but I had no ammunition so I started throwing ice at the Russians who were in the basement stairwell (which was where the bathroom should have been). The Russians were led by Dave P. and I knew he would be upset at being fooled by the ice and if he caught us before the front door would use actual bullets instead. We made it to the front door, left, and then we were outside in a snowy forest where there was no sound at all. 7/6/24 #2: I was following Dave P. and he went into a crowded closet where he was looking for a shirt or was putting stuff away. The entire place was crowded and Dave said “This is my dad’s workshop.” I turned around and saw people playing boardgames. One was Art S., but he was shaped like a dwarf/smurf/gnome. He started explaining what they were doing and why I should play games, so I said “I roomed with your brother, dude. Ask Ron. He’ll tell you I know games.” Art looked at me and kept staring and then someone (Dave?) said “I think you should go now.”

7/6/23: I decided to give Baron H. a boardgame as a gift. It was in an SPI monster game box (Operation Typhoon sized) and under a deck of yellow cards, I hid a live scorpion. When Baron opened the game, I told him about the scorpion. He saw it there staring at him, so he took tweezers (may have been mini-chopsticks), picked up the scorpion and tossed it into a river/road that was running perpendicular to us–which made sense in the dream.

7/6/22: I was watching a fashion show. Every model walking down the runway was carrying a red bag. The bag was numbered consecutively in white. I remember it going 64…65…66…67…then 67.5. No one else noticed it only went up by 1/2. I got confused–which ended the dream.

7/6/21 #1: I was in a mall atrium. Everyone was wearing black tactical gear. I was sitting eating lunch waiting to talk with someone when I started getting hit by rain even after I moved under an overhang. Someone then explained to me that this was because the airflow changed when the Sydney Opera House next door opened its retractable roof.

7/6/21 #2: I was looking through old photographs and keepsakes. First I found a poster-size photo of my “Uncle Wally” [I don’t have an Uncle Wally] shirtless posing in front of a John Deere tractor [because it was green, I know it was JD]. Then I found a photo of Wally, my Uncle Helmut [who is a real uncle], and me as a boy posing with an army general in a room on board the USS Belknap. Beyond it seeming strange an army general was on a navy ship, the room was a ‘museum’ with all sorts of cars suspended from the ceiling and on shelves for viewing .

7/6/19 #1: I was running a marathon on the interstate and was able to keep up with traffic as long as I would count from 1 to 150 in my head. When the interstate ended and it became city streets, I stopped for a minute and forgot how to count, so I could not run fast anymore and lost.

7/6/18 #2: I was part of Starsky and Hutch and we were captured by Nazis in a giant brick warehouse/hospital. We tried to escape in an ambulance but the ambulance was made of glass so my partner was wounded when the Nazis shot the ambulance up.

7/6/10: Two gangs are fighting over Neoga Elem. School now built on Credit Island (Davenport). The gangs are the Mayans and the Pez. People are scared to leave their homes-which are in Wallace Hall (ISU dorm)-which is built next to NES. Me and Paul E. case the school looking to break up the gangs but Paul’s mom takes him home and then I get beat up by the Pez. At least I had my old room in Wallace (7312).
