Basketball

I love when I have sports dreams. Though I feel I could be quite athletic under the right conditions, I played zero high school sports, and athletics were not valued highly in our house. So when I dream of playing sports, it's always a pleasure. It'd be like a football guy dreaming that he was a famous scientist.

I dreamed that I was shooting hoops for fun. I started jumping with the ball, and I would try to jump really high. Pretty soon I was jumping from half court. It turns out that when you jump from that far away, you have to aim before you jump, because you can't switch directions in mid air. Before long, I could dunk from half court. Later, the college team came in to play their game, and the coach put me on the team. I kept hoping they wouldn't put me in to play, because they'd find out I can't actually play well.

Aunt / Uncle's house

Here is last night's dream. Woke up not even knowing I had dreamt, and here I am 45 minutes later.

A couple of things.

First of all, I drove to the end of a cul de sac where my Aunt Kathryn lived. Lots of cute houses - yellows and whites, little ones. Somehow my friends were in a very tiny room. I got really tired. The only place to sleep was on the floor where my friends' legs were. I crawled in there, and then I remember pushing Emily's leg out of my face a lot.

Later, I was with my family, also in my Aunt's house. But now it was gigantic. I woke up, explored around the empty expanse a bit, and then started running from room to room with my arms out. I came to a room with Aunt Kathryn, and ran into her arms, only I couldn't slow down that much, so she was startled and annoyed with me. My dad was setting up some kind of home theater setup in their huge great room, which was very ritzy.

Sideways trees

I had a dream where I was being taken through this girl's family farm. They grew some kind of trees, which were planted up the mountainside, in vertical golden pastures. The thought of attempting to farm it frightened me.

We then ran to a smooth rock cliff, where people were beginning to jump over. I was to afraid to jump.

Anne loses custody of secret child

First I had a dream about this girl Anne who I've been hanging out with in real life recently. In my dream, we were together somewhere on a rainy day. We were having an alright time, but somewhere in there it came out that she had a kid from a previous marriage. It was unbelievable. I even got to meet her ex-husband, a wiry, pathetic fellow named Darcy. The thing that was so weird was that, knowing that she worked full time, I figured out that she couldn't possibly have custody of her child. This led me to wonder what her deal was, knowing that it's rare for a mother to lose custody of her children, especially to such a weaselly man.

Car crash

I had a dream that I was driving with my dad, and we turned left and crashed head on into a Chevy Astro van coming at us at full speed. I braced for the air bags but I felt nothing as we and the van bounced back away from each other. The air bag didn't go off. Also, it was a nice day outside.

Grad School

I had a dream that I was back in my High School, except the middle section of the building was a grad school. It was way nicer, and you could tell everyone there knew each other. I seemed to be conscious of the fact that these were grad school students, but that I was older than them.

Then I went out into the courtyard, and there was a classroom set up out there with desks and a teacher. In fact, it was a black teacher. There was some private joke I was having with one cute girl there, and the teacher noticed and I had to be clever to the whole class to pull it off respectfully. The sun was coming weakly through the clouds.

Prince

I had a dream that I was helping Prince Early put a show together. I was picking the music he would do, and kind of how the show would feel. I was telling him, "I'm going to make you a hit!" I was worrying a lot about the playlist because the first song was a ton of power, and the second was a let down.
