Dreams – 8/11

8/11/25: I was trying to do man-on-the-street interviews for a book on Ryne Sandberg when I saw the lead singer of Red Hot Chili Peppers sitting with his wife at a circular table. I talked with him and he suggested I interview his drummer. Then I was outside a closet where the drummer wouldn’t answer my knocks–so I opened the door, held out a pink spandex shirt and jiggled it and he said “Ok, come in.” I realized he was a new drummer–the old one had died while helping film a Spinal Tap sequel.

8/11/24: I was playing catch with people in my grandparents’ backyard. The ball was a bowling ball. They kept missing me with their throws, so I was forced to make over the shoulder catches or diving grabs. On one throw, they missed me completely and the ball fell into a hole near the porch. I looked and saw it was a giant hole that led to a cavern/underground room occupied by albino rabbit-like creatures and that the ball slid to the far side of the ‘room’. No one wanted to stick an arm in to reach for the ball and I wasn’t going to crawl into the room because there were a LOT of the rabbit-like creatures.

8/11/23: I was waiting to get into an elevator but then had to wait longer because people unloading from GenCon had ‘right of way’ so the elevator was overcrowded and broke down. Someone told me telepathically the cable was going to snap so I climbed onto the car’s roof. I noticed there were windows to the outside world and also that there was a painted map of Poland on the wall ad that we were somehow in Gydnia. I opened the window and climbed out and let others out of the elevator because they were part of a political delegation from Russia. I led the delegates to a horse racing track that was hosting the Polish Agriculture Exposition. There weren’t many people there and you couldn’t hear anything because of a bunch of racecars on the dirt track but the British Prime Minister (a fat guy in a bowler) was punching the air as he spoke and I realized it was a treaty requirement that the Russians speak at an Expo.

8/11/22: I was standing in a waiting line at Walgreens. It wasn’t going anywhere. Suddenly people were pairing off and doing a passing/shuffling drill in the main aisle. There was a woman who didn’t have a partner, so I stepped out of line so she could pass a volleyball.

8/11/21: I was in a cafeteria sitting with Eric C’s mom, Dee. The cafeteria had huge windows and the ceiling was up at least 50 feet. The windows were concealed behind 50-ft high curtains. I ran into Mike Yager and asked what he was doing there. He said his daughter, Blake, [in real life Blake is his son, not daughter] liked coming to the cafeteria because they let her sing arias whenever she wanted. On cue, the curtains pulled back–it was Blake tugging on the pulleys and she was in a greet dress that matched the green curtains. She was about 30ft up with no protection. Everyone got quiet and she started to sing. Mike Yager said, “Told you.”
