dream

In which my brother and I beat up a ghost.

December 6, 2009

I was just going through some old voice memos and found one about a dream I’d had recently: I’m in the faculty lounge at work, telling somebody that a former coworker, Jeanelle (who used to be the English Department Chair at my school) had died. A few minutes later, Jeanelle walks into the room. Stunned, [...]

Last night I arrived at the Aabrock’s house in North Cackalacky. I slept in a room that was so dark, so quiet and so comfortable that it could double as a sensory deprivation chamber. This was the dream I had: I realize that I have a third eyeball to the right of my right eye. [...]

Last night’s dream: The ‘Rolla has suffered some damage to the front passenger door. I take it to a repair shop. I point out the damage, and ask them how long it will take to fix. The mechanic says an hour. There’s a diner next door. I walk in and sit at the counter. The [...]

Nap dream.

August 4, 2008

I drifted off late this afternoon and had this dream: It is dark outside. I am wearing a grey three-piece business suit and no hat. I am walking down a street with my grandfather. He is roughly my age, but he looks a little bit more like a young Jimmy Stewart than the pictures I’ve [...]

Annihilation room.

Last night’s dream: It is late. I’ve been asked to drive a woman to some social gathering. It is located behind a collegiate baseball stadium and down a hill. We arrive at ten. The walls are marbled black and blue and are so tall that I can’t tell whether there is a ceiling. There are [...]

До свидания.

August 26, 2007

Last night’s nightmare: I am sitting with a friend. Someone nearby has a dog who just broke its leg. Someone has called Doggie 911, and a veterinary ambulance is on its way. We wait for it. My friend suddenly turns very pale and stares silently into space. She slowly falls backwards, but I catch her. [...]

Last night’s dream: After a long day at work, which for some reason resembled an academic museum combined with a commercial mall and a dungeon more than a high school, I go to my dad’s house. My younger sister has flown in from New Mexico and is in the kitchen, baking cookies. The kitchen appears [...]

Chomp.

March 7, 2007

Last night’s dream: The family is visiting an elderly aunt up in Illinois. We are in a back foyer with a glass door. I’m standing; everyone is sitting in rocking chairs, chatting, laughing, exchanging medical stories, discussing the best way to drive to this place or that. There is an alligator climbing the steps to [...]

May 22, 2006

I don’t remember much about last night’s dream aside from a rather scary rabbit. It was not violent like the one that thrashed the Knights of the Round Table or the one that subdued Jimmy Carter. It was passive, subtly menacing like the Black Rabbit of Inle. That guy scared the bejeezus out of me when I first saw [...]

Nightmare.

October 16, 2005

Normally, I am aware of the context of my dreams; I am aware of certain assumptions or premises that lead into the story. Not so in the one I had a few nights ago… The dream begins with me in a tuxedo at a wedding. I am confused, because I have no idea how I [...]
