- tigers chasing me through the jungle. This is the first nightmare that I remember having, and just the beginning of my running dreams
- a giant trying to find me in my house. I could NEVER hide well enough, he would always be able to see me through one of my windows. I was always afraid of robbers (and aliens, but that's another story) coming into the house and that's probably where this nightmare stemmed from.
- using my arms to fly. I loved this one. In a lot of my dreams I can still "fly" or float. I would just flap my arms and I could soar at first over small objects, then over trees and then I was high in the sky. Because I can never run fast enough in my dreams, flying comes in handy.
- dinosaurs. I would like to thank Jurassic Park for this one. I was 8 when this movie came out and was both terrified and fascinated by it. I don't think I minded the leaf eaters, it was more when T-Rex came on the scene that shit hit the fan. And because I don't think I had discovered flying yet and couldn't run fast or drive, it was pretty scary. Don't laugh.
- as I got older my dreams became more vivid; now if I have a nightmare I won't ever ever EVER forget it. I still remember the first time I died and the first time I shot a gun. Fucked, huh?
So the other night I have a dream that I lost both of my feet. I can't remember exactly how, but I think it was my fault. I blame this happening because I just finished Aron Ralston's book 127 Hours: Between a Rock and a Hard Place. He has to cut off his own hand after being trapped under a boulder for 6 days. So throughout all of my dreams that night, I had no feet. I was using those arm crutches/canes and regular crutches to get everywhere. Man, was it ever slow. Then this doctor told me he could make me new feet and I was all excited because I have always wanted to be a size 7 shoe. Seriously. I'm an 8 1/2... ok, 9 sometimes.. and believe that shoes always look better in a size 7. Sigh. Oh, and then in my dream I found out where my high school ex lived and he made me this amazing dinner of shrimp and strawberries (really?!) and then the house turned into somewhere else and a microphone wire was trying to go down my throat. I'll end it there because it just gets weirder after the microphone wire incident.
Yeah, you thought your dreams were weird? Y'all got nothing on my dreams.

I have dreams where I'm just counting stuff. I'll get to like 27, lose my place, and start over.
OK, for my whole life I had dreams about gigantic waves. I'd be standing on a pier or on the beach with some family and friends on a beautiful day, and then WHAMMO! A great big wave would start forming. It would get bigger and bigger and more and more threatening, and we'd try to run but we wouldn't go fast enough, and the wave never, ever broke in my dreams. But it was terrifying. And then, the tsunami hit and I never had that dream again.
See? SEE?! *eyebrows up, hands out, crazy eyes* Get it?
Yeah, me neither. No meaning at all.
Pretty weird. I once had a dream that William Shatner came to my school and he was sitting in my desk. I don't know. I mean I'm a big fan of him, but why was he at my school?
