The other night I had a dream that I needed to make an emergency run to my mother in laws house which is 3 hours away bring a frozen lasagna and sausages. Not to eat though, she needed it because she ran out of firewood, and needed something to burn. And this was logical to me at the time. so strange. BTW I enjoy your blog very much! It's very entertaining. Dreams are pretty wacky that’s for sure.

Freaky. I also had a dream where all of my teeth fell out. And I woke up and thought, "Whew! Thank goodness that was a dream." Then the next night I had a dream where all of my teeth fell out, and in the dream I thought, "Wow, I was dreaming about this and now it's really happening!" Then I had the same dream about 30 more times. D'oh! It got so bad I told my dentist about it, half-complaining, half-joking. He was completely unimpressed and said it is a terribly common dream.

I'm flattered. I like to think of The Junk Drawer as a place for people to hang out, chat and share a few laughs. Half the fun of running this thing is all the comments I'm fortunate enough to get. I do see it as a conversation myself, so I'm glad you see it that way too. Have a great weekend! Augusto — Thank you so much! I’m flattered.

I have to consciously relax and fall into deeper sleep or whatever the conveyance is, it gets smaller and smaller until there's nothing but a mobile coaster of some kind between my butt and the road. But I'm still going 60 I'm in school again, and no one believes me when I try to tell them I've already done it, I am late for a class and forgot I was supposed to be taking it and haven't been there in weeks. I'm in college, and I keep trying to get to my mailbox. If I get there, its stuffed with letters and packages but I can't get it open or otherwise can't get to them. There's a sense of despair that goes along with that dream. When I was younger I had power over the bogeymen in dreams; if something was chasing me I would stop, turn to face it, and say "No!" and it would disappear. If only that worked with anxiety attacks. <em>Shieldmaiden1196's last blog post..<a href='http://northernoutpostpa.blogspot.com/2008/03/four-things.html' rel="nofollow">Four Things</a></em> My recurring themes:

A room full of balloons is clearly you being overwhelmed with too much in your life. The creepy clown hero represents whatever it is that can or will relieve your overwhelming factors. (I'm making most of that up but not all of it) The ride on the girder is simply not being in control of something in your life. God only knows about the wacky contact dreams. The scariest thing for me is that there seem to be others like you out there!!! Rooms and houses are dream representations of our own selves.

I have long, vivid, exhausting dreams every night. It's like watching several movies. Last night I dreamt that there was all this cat fur in the dryer among my clothes. As I went through my pile of clothes, at the bottom, was an actual kitten, made, presumably, from all the extra cat fur. As you may know, we're thinking of naming our next kitten Prudence. So the dream kitten was named Prudence. Until we found out she was a he, so we named her Brutus, because that sounded kind of like Prudence. Sorry you asked?
