Dreams – 8/15

8/15/25 #1: I was walking on a highway and was lost–there was a roundabout filled with flowers. Then I was a passenger in a car with Erick and as we reached the top of a hill, I thought at him “STOP!!!” After the crest of the hill, a river had massively flooded the road–it was brown and ‘almost as big as the Mississippi’. Erick put the car in reverse, then the dream’s view became a roadmap of squiggles around Iowa City. Teere were Highways 2, 4, and 32 but I knew if we could get to Hwy 3, we wouldn’t be lost anymore. 8/15/25 #2: I was in a city and someone wanted to talk to me so I started jogging. I was looking at the ground like my eyes could barely stay open. I turned a corner and went past taller buildings that looked like sororities and people were calling at me–and I realized I was wearing early-1980s style shorts and making fun of me, so I ran into a building and was running down a dark bending hallway that had a brick floor. There were restaurants/shops but they were all closed.

8/15/23: I was driving the Challenger at night when the road narrowed. There was snow and mud and ruts in the road. I was on a walkway that I couldn’t drive past anymore because there were people sitting outside drinknig. I put the Challenger in reverse and couldn’t squeeze past a giant snowball in the road without hitting the Challenger. It hit the rear/side and I hoped there was no damage. When I got to a wide open area I stopped to check. Then Spike was with me (except he was a wolf) along with a little lizard that walked on two feet. We headed towards a dark alley, Spike got away and there was yelping and growling and a light came on and there was a giant Komodo Dragon between me and Spike. Spike jumped over the Dragon, got back to me and I picked Spike up to see if he had been wounded/bitten and he transformed into the small lizard which could morph into a parakeet.

8/15/22: There was a big superhero fight going on over the ocean next to Sigel. There was one archvillain fighting several heroes. One of the heroes was like Shazam. Shazam got hit by a magical plastic bag and started suffocating because it form-fit his face. He hit the water but it turned out the water was concrete and broke his arm though the bag fell off.

8/15/21 #1: I was at a bar. The lighting was red–like in a submarine movie. A friend I was with picked a fight with someone and it turned out that someone had a lot of friends there. My friend went outside where it was also lit with red lights and picked a fight there with someone who was part of a gang. A couple of the gang chased him back inside…where the gang guys were beaten up because the people inside thought the two were my friend. My friend then went outside and had two guys follow him…same thing happened to those two, beaten by the gang. This led to a general brawl and people forgot my friend started it. I just watched and thought this must be what the Mos Eisley Cantina is like when Star Wars wasn’t being filmed in it…

8/15/21 #2: I was onboard a British submarine, one of three on patrol in a neighborhood with canals and rivers as streets. We ran into Chinese vessels. The captains of the Chinese ships pointed their fingers at the two other submarines (finger-guns) and both subs immediately sank and were destroyed. My sub immediately submerged and went as fast as possible back down the street until it was suggested we turn into the Ionian and park ourselves immediately under a Cadillac there in front of a house. That would let us survive until we developed our own finger-guns.
