The dream thread

[Locke7]

I searched and couldn't really find anything like it. How about a thread on what peoples dreams they had the night before. I personally NEVER remember my dreams in the morning. But for some reason this morning I did, and quite vividly. It's really, really random, so if you don't care, don't read on. But if you had an interesting dream, post it, I think it's amazing what the subconscious can come up with. Also, if you feel like trying to explain my dream, go for it!

NOTE: I just finished typing it and read through it again. Don't think you will feel enlightened after this one, it is COMPLETE nonsense. But hey, it's all truly from my dream last night. It gets a little strangely sexual near the end, so if your not in to that sort of thing you can skip that part.

OK, so my dream starts when I'm walking out of an airplane with my dad, mom, sister, brother in law, and 88 year old grandmother. We were on vacation... In Iraq. When I finally figured out we were in Iraq I was all freaked out that we were going to be abducted. We then ended up where we were staying (you know dreams, it's not like we took a car, we were just there). We were staying at some Iraqi families house. And they didn't speak English, and it was in a really run down area of the town. So I said we have to get somewhere safe. Now my whole family is in some type of big area like a bus station with computer kiosks and tons of Americans just sitting around playing cards, and there is a small jazz band playing jazz music over in the corner (I don't even really like jazz).

All of a sudden sitting there I realize that back in America I have a doctors appointment at 9:10 the next morning, and I didn't call to cancel because of the vacation, and I didn't want to call because of how much the long distance would cost (I wonder if I was waking up here a bit, because I acually did have a doctors appointment at 9:10 in the morning, weird). It's also the same time my wife wasn't there, and I asked where she was, and my mom said that she was coming the next day because she had conferences late Thursday night (more weirdness, my wife is a teacher and actually had conferences last night.

Now I am walking alone, in Iraq, in some dirty alley, and end up at this little convenience store. It looks like a regular convenience store, but the walls are made out of dirt, and no one is wearing shoes. I'm trying to buy pop, but I can't read the labels, so I go up to the shop owner. She was a heavy set American, and was chatting with a dirty old man on the other side of the counter. I end up buying a really nice camera, and all of a sudden everyone is out of the store. I leave to go look for them in the alley, and then all of a sudden there are a bunch of guys in black suits, they looked kind of FBI'ish with ear pieces in everything saying they were looking for the owner of the store. I said I didn't know, and then they said "You're coming with us then." I go to take a picture, and when it flashes, I find myself sitting on the floor against the wall in a hallway looking through a window across the hall in to another room. And this is where it goes off the deep end....

Looking through the window this body lurches up from lying on something (and this was a horror film lurch), I can't see what it was lying on because I'm sitting on the floor. The face is freaky, but it is a human face, but I can tell it's some type of robot/android thing. It stands up, and all of a sudden I'm looking at myself in the mirror and I realize some time has passed because I have a full goatee (sp?, facial hair, you know). I'm standing there talking to someone and I feel like he is a friend. I'm holding on to some type of messaging device that has some messages coming across it. But it is all spaced out between words. I have a feeling in my head that the reason for the spaces is because the message is coming from a long ways away (kind of like when they are doing live feeds on the news from places like Iraq. The host will say something and the response from the person in Iraq comes back like 3 seconds later). The message after a while told me where to go, and if I need to get there fast push the red button on the back of the messaging device. So I go to the room. And there are all these human people and android people hovering around someone lying on a table. The person was having a baby (OK, i know why I dreamt that, my wife is having a baby in January). I watched the whole birth process (yup, just went to that class, and the dream was just like the video in class). The person that delivered the baby was one of those android things, they look really real they just move robotic. Now I'm getting messaged again, and end up in a big room with one wall all windows looking in to darkness. It gets a little sexual here so just skip to the next paragraph if you aren't interested. Through the window I see a woman sitting on a couch. The lights are dim in that room, it is lighter in the room I am in. It's like were in one big room cut in half by a glass wall. The woman says I've been waiting 4 years for this, and then she explains that I've been traveling 4 years to a place, and the reason why the messages take so long to get is because I am millions of miles away (space? who knows where I am). She proceeds to slowly take off her clothes and lies back down on the couch. All of a sudden my clothes are off and I'm at the glass wall with my hands stuck to the wall. The woman has some type of control that forces my body in different poses. As time progresses the woman starts masterbating, while making me pose in different ways (it felt strange, normally I would think I would enjoy watching a woman masterbate in front of me, but at the same time I was feeling so used, weird) I don't know how long this went on for, but after a while the woman had an orgasm, and said how excited she was that I was here, and she couldn't wait for the next encounter.

At this point all of these flashing red lights and sirens go off. Now I'm in a regular hallway and everyone is running around screaming. I like at the messaging thing and it tells me to get somewhere fast and I push the red button. The messaging device turns in to kind of like a jetpack, and I start whipping through the halls going towards...

I'm awake. Wow, that was a weird dream. Damn, I have to get ready for work...
