Monday, March 08, 2010: Zombie Apocalypse

He walked up Pilgrim Ave towards his house, with a gun in one hand and a sword in the other hand, fighting off wave after wave of shambling zombies. He escorted a couple up the street, making sure they were armed to continue their journey. Another couple, one a ghost and one alive, passed him on the sidewalk. He arrived at his house, now reinforced with concrete and steel. From time to time, he opened a gunport and fired out at the zombies.

He woke up, went back to sleep, and the dream continued.

He entered a white room. There were weapon in one corner. He passed over the rapiers. He selected a longsword and a dagger. He asked his friend Bob what was his weapon of choice against zombies. Bob replied axes.

He walked into another room, and swung his weapons at the walls.

Tuesday, March 02, 2010: Dogs with parachutes, Egyptian party

He and his wife walked along Park Avenue near Elm Park at dusk. Airplanes released parachutists. Their parachutes failed and emergency parachutes were deployed. Still, their descent appeared too swift. But they landed safely in the pond. Now closer, he could see the parachutists were dogs.

He dreamed he was at a party in a lavish house of alabaster and marble. The guests wore royal Egyptian attire. He met his wife there, lounging on a couch, when she was younger.

He was on the street with his wife and teenage children. Some Christians were trying to guilt his children to return to the church.

He walked down Hamilton Street at night. At the corner of Pilgrim Ave and Hamilton Street, a skunk carrying a smaller dead animal began to chase him.

Dream

Wednesday, February 24, 2010: Groucho and Harpo

He dreamed that he was Harpo Marx. He wordlessly sidled up to Groucho Marx, honked a horn, and put his leg up onto his hand, to annoy him.

Dream

Monday, February 22, 2010: Open the door

He was lying on his right side, on a bed in the dark. He could sense that his wife was lying to his left. He could see white light shining around the edges of a door. He spoke: "Open the door! Open the door!"

A moment later, in real life, his wife woke him by saying his name. He woke her up. She said she heard him saying "Door! Door!" in his sleep.

Dream

Tuesday, February 02, 2010: Strange House

He was lying in bed with his wife, trying to sleep. The room appeared unfamiliar to him. He got out of bed and walked into the unfamiliar kitchen. He pulled a chair out and away from the kitchen table and sat down. He thought to himself, Am I dreaming or am I awake? He remembered to look at his hands. He looked at his right hand, and it looked normal. He looked at his left hand, and his fingers faded. I am dreaming, he thought. Family members and friends entered, spoke briefly, and exited: his son and his daughter, his father, his friend Jeremy, his friend Bob. He stood up and walked back into the bedroom and laid down next to his wife.

Winter rain melts drifts—
fog rises up and marches
the ghosts of snow men.

Monday, January 11, 2010: Escaping the beast men

He descended the interior of a dark tower, pursued by goat men and wolf men. A wolf man met him on a stair and held him in its teeth. He wrestled himself from its grip and continued his descent.

He climbed down a ladder. A goat man ascended the ladder from the bottom, and another goat man descended the ladder from the top, trapping him. But he simply climbed down over the body of the lower goat man. He jumped from the ladder and stumbled to the floor, against a wall.

There was a crowd of Asian people and among them were goat men and wolf men. There was a camera, lights, and a man speaking behind a podium on the left, and the same on the right. The beast men snarled, waiting for the speakers to conclude before pouncing on him. They were counting on him not interrupting the conference. So he stood up and pushed his way across the lights and cameras and the podiums, and he found two doors.

He opened a door and closed it behind him. He could hear laughing. They were laughing at him because behind the door was a closet, full of junk, and to them he was trapped. He moved some of the junk and found another door, into the adjacent closet. Then he searched the walls of the adjacent closet and found a board high up on the wall. He removed the board and found a window. He climbed up and out the window and escaped into daylight.

Tuesday, January 05, 2010: Escaping an evil wizard by turning invisible and flying

An evil wizard approached, but he willed himself invisible and flew into the air. The evil wizard could not find him.

Recently, I have noticed that I have been flying more in dreams. And turning invisible in a dream is new to me.
