Alien Drumstick Embryos

9/7/10

I witnessed an alien invasion scheme through a strange first person television mode. It didn’t appear as if I was present, but rather viewing the event through a monitor. The plan was to implant embryos the size of cocktail shrimp inside frozen chicken drumsticks. Once the drumsticks were cooked, the heat would activate the incubation; the aliens would grow to full size and begin the assault. The dream appeared to be a ripoff of the TMNT episode “the case of the killer pizzas”. I was then stuck in this infinite sequence: a plate loaded with drumsticks entering a microwave, the microwave turning on and slowly cooking the drumsticks, steam filling the area, the microwave door opens and these little pseudo chestburster-esque creatures hopped out and grew to about 6 feet in a few seconds. This occurred repeatedly until I eventually woke up.

Slothful Escape

8/31/10

I was running from a zombie horde and the only vehicle available was a Prius! I got in and turned the key, which had magically appeared in the ignition. I put the gear in drive and slammed my foot on the gas pedal, but it took off slowly as if someone were pushing it! After a few moments, the car began to move slightly. I heard a crash from behind; the zombies busted the glass on the hatchback and were beginning to enter the vehicle. The acceleration was so slow, that one could run faster on foot. Before they could get me, I awoke.

Dough Face

8/20/10

I was on some playground near a set of swings and a merry-go-round. This strange looking women approached me. Her face was oddly formed, similar to the warped visage of the ringwraiths when Frodo wore the ring. She threw me to the ground and stuck bobby pins in my eyes yet this did not affect my vision. I struggled to get away and ended up warping to an old fashioned pizza parlor. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me with faces filled with anguish. I suddenly had the ability to levitate and slowly hovered over the angry crowd, out of their reach. I warped yet again and found myself  banging this chick on a love seat. For a brief moment, it felt like a movie instead. The camera (my vision) zoomed close to her lips; she opened them and said in a soft voice, “All ready”. I rammed her again several times then her face morphed into the scary women from the playground. I noticed that we were both fully clothed. She attempted to put me in a headlock but then I awoke.

Creepshow Segment

8/17/10

The water logged zombie-apparitions of Ted Danson and Gaylen Ross from Creepshow beckoned me. They kept chanting, “Hoowww llloonnggg cannn yoouuuu hoolldddddd yoouurrrrr breeaaatthhh”. The seaweed dangled from their bodies; their faces were an olive drab green with perfect details of the film, despite not having seen it for several years. I ran down a populated street in an attempt to lose them, but they kept up in pursuit. It appeared as if no one else could see them except me. I approached an old Victorian style house but I don’t recall entering; I simply warped to the second floor. The zombies cornered me with their hands outstretched, they attempted to choke me but then I awoke at around 4:13am, with an elevated heart rate and sense of uneasiness. Whew!

Facehugger/Gremlins Knockoff

8/16/10

I was standing on the cement outside a gigantic indoor pool. I had these little facehugger toys encased in those plastic bubbles containing toys that you get at Toys R Us 50-cent machines. I dumped all the facehugger plastic bubbles inside the pool, and despite being buoyant, they sunk to the bottom. It seemed like I had an unlimited supply as I repeatedly threw handfuls in the pool. Suddenly, the water began to boil, turn a hazy swamp green, and emit a dry ice/smoke. It reminded me exactly of the scene in Gremlins when Stripe falls in the swimming pool. Before anything else could happen, I awoke.

Paperwork

8/9/2010

A co-worker told me, “I’m going to Africa-Thailand to recover an ancient berry that can cure anything”. They showed me a map of the world with mismatched continents and countries that had merged. As he was showing me his route on the map, I began to float about 3 feet above the ground and my body began to follow the red arrow. I had a hard time recalling what happened next, but I seemed to warp to my place of work. The halls seemed to be much longer than they normally were. Co-workers were running out of their offices, hysterical and shouting, “My paperwork is not in ORDER!” The hall began to change into the high school hallway from a Nightmare on Elm Street 1 (not that shit-can remake, the real deal from 1984). I noticed a classroom door was open, so I peered inside and to my surprise, I saw Freddy lecturing the class. He was pointing to nonsensical symbols on the board with his blades. His speech was incoherent, more like mumbling. I’m not sure if I warped back to my work place, or if I was still in the classroom, but I witnessed the HR manager spew forth extreme profanity about “the papers not being in order". At this point, the dream ended.

Zombie Dodgemall

8/6/10

I found myself walking inside a large shopping mall, surrounded by zombies….only these zombies were docile and a few were talking to one another. Some zombies were in groups, while some were by themselves. A few of them cracked a smile at me, while a few waved in a nonchalant manner. Some continued to walk with blank looks upon their faces. I ended up walking into a few shops, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary; simply stores containing clothing attire, shoes, and gifts. I approached this one shop that contained a large wooden door with no windows. As I opened the door, I was amazed at what I saw: a large green hilly area that looked exactly like the Windows XP wallpaper known as “Bliss”. There were giant towers present, and helicopters hovering about. I saw these SWAT team members jump out of the choppers, attached with ropes and landing on the towers. Some of the team were descending down the tower attached to a rope as well. I thought, “This must be were they train”. I closed the large wooden door and continued my trek through the mall. I started to notice the zombies were no longer friendly towards me. They began to frown and scoff at me. Some of them began to ebb a heavy flow of clear fluids from their mouths. I tried to dodge them in an attempt to get away. I felt as if I was playing a game of dodgeball, mixed with football; as they lunged towards me I was able to use quick footing to sidestep or jump back. Some came at me with a tackling motion, but I dove to the floor and slid on my belly and avoided them. For a brief moment I was running in place (much like Lionel in the brilliant film, Brain Dead where the floor was so saturated with blood and guts that he was unable to get traction and thus ran in place). A hand grabbed me and slid me under the legs of a group of zombies. Apparently, a few zombies wanted to help me escape. They assisted me with dodging the last group and one of them took me by the hand and led me to a side exit, in which I awoke.

Inner Space

7/28/10

I was driving a muscle car down the street, about a block away from my parents house when I spotted this guy standing next to an old Camaro. I parked my car on the front lawn of the house next to him and asked about the car. “Check it out”, he kindly said and unlocked the doors for me. Upon opening the driver’s side door, the interior of the Camaro wasn’t actually that of a car, but a full size recreation room instead! I could see a swimming pool with volleyball net, a swim-up bar stocked with various bottles, and a large television mounted on the ceiling showcasing some video game. The room was full of people having a good time drinking, laughing, and chatting. I thought, “damn, this car is huge inside” and immediately looked behind me; the same street from the beginning of the dream was still there. I might have gained 1% lucidity by looking out to the street, but as I turned my head and looked back inside the Camaro, the huge room turned into a rap/hip-hip music video. It reminded me of an mid-80’s MC Hammer music video for some reason: there were weird people dancing with purple hats and wearing giant long gold chains and giant flappy pants, and various bikini clad women present. At this point, I awoke.

Circuit Testing

7/15/2010

[In waking life, my car was having an issue with starting, so my mechanic said to use a circuit tester, and that would help determine if either the ignition switch or the starter was causing the problem]

During my dream, I was using a circuit tester on a fuse box in my car to determine if the ignition switch was bad or not. The circuit tested bad so I called up my mechanic and rudely said “see, I told you so, I’m right”. I ended up pushing my car in the rain, with not a car on the road for 12 miles (or least my dream-consciousness said I traveled that distance).

Driving a Chucky Doll Vehicle with a Pumpkin Head

7/13/2010

I was sitting inside the head of a giant Chucky doll, only his head was replaced with a carved halloween-style pumpkin. The cockpit was located inside the head and was complete with steering wheel, gas pedal, clutch pedal, brake pedal, and a shifter.  I had a decent view by looking through the eyes. The doll handled exactly like a car, only instead of the tires moving faster as the gas pedal was pressed, the doll’s legs ran faster. (Just think of the statue of Liberty in Ghostbusters 2 when they imbued it with positively charged slime; it came to life and was controllable..well same idea only the Chucky doll wasn’t as large.) While driving the doll around town, I felt like I had to stop and take a rest so I parked the doll next to a tree in the front yard of an abandoned house. A few houses down were some Mexican gangster guys standing around and demonstrating their lowrider cars. A few of them approached me and inquired about my vehicle. I tried to explain what it was, but all of a sudden some other gangster guys appeared whom appeared to be angry. Trailing behind them was a group of police cars. The officers ran towards me and wanted to see what type of vehicle I had. I immediately warped inside the cockpit (I don’t recall a ladder or staircase to get inside), and the doll jumped over the police and gangster cars and zoomed down the street. Once I was out of the neighborhood, I ended up on a multiple lane street with heavy traffic. At this point, I could hear the police sirens getting closer. I rammed the clutch to the floor, shifted the gear,  and them slammed the gas down without even letting the clutch out nicely. The doll began to take giant strides with extreme speed; hopping over cars while dodging traffic. It felt like I was going nearly 90mph. The dream felt a lot like the Grand Theft Auto game series when you have 5 or 6 stars on you…everyone is on your tail. Police cars emerged from side streets and SWAT vans appeared next to me, attempting to force me off the road. As the horizon approached, I could see a bridge in the distance but woke up before I could reach it. I loved this dream a lot.

I've created a crude Photoshop image of the Chucky doll-vehicle and included a police car to give you an idea of the scale. 

The Legend of Cheech & Chong (and Carlos Santana)

7/6/10

I was living inside a video game, a new Legend of Zelda type, but the characters were Cheech & Chong, Carlos Santana and I. We encountered a group of giant scorpions so Cheech tossed some seeds into the dirt in which these huge palm trees sprouted from the ground. The palm trees began to produce large cannabis buds, which then morphed into French bread pieces. The scorpions began to eat the French bread, which caused them to fall asleep.

False Wakeup

6/29/10

Around 5am, I woke up on the futon, then decided to shave, shower, and go back to my real bed. I managed to stay asleep for about an hour, woke up, then my eyes teetered between open, shut, and squinty, in a continuous cycle. I heard my front door open and close with footsteps approaching. As the footstep sounds became closer, I heard the bathroom door open and close. I felt powerless and was unable to move! I then heard water running from the bathroom sink. “Oh shit” I thought, “someone’s in my bathroom!!” With my eyes still “flickering”, I tried to get up, but I couldn’t move. I heard the bathroom door open and close again, but with no footsteps. My cell phone chimed…an incoming text message sound. At this point, I was able to move and got out of bed. I checked my cell phone, but with no message. Sleep paralysis can be fun (or scary), depending on how you look at it.

Introduction

I'm here to share my dreams with you, the reader. For many months now, I've been experiencing vivid dreams that I am able to recall once I return to waking life. Some are short, some are lengthy. Some deal with real life situations, some with absurdity. We will be starting from a few months back and work our way up.

Enjoy
