Bee 4 I Woke Up Today
Bizarre February 18th, 2010
I don’t know why I let you guys in my unconscious head. It’s really a mess in there. But here’s a dream I had last night.
I was outside my childhood home and there was a woman I work with standing near me. We observed a big swarm of bees and I panicked. She said “No need to worry. It’s only Bee #4 you have to worry about.”
I was happy that I could identify Bee #4 by its trail of curly smoke following it as it flew straight for my head. I picked up a fly swatter and beat it to pieces, but it was still alive and I freaked.
I woke up thinking there was a bee in the bed and that at any moment I would be stung.
So if you’re ever scared of bees, don’t worry. Just kill #4. And kill him good. He’s a bastard.
The end.
Stumble it!

I’m allergic to all of them so they all gotta die. And the same goes to all you hornets, too.
Big hugs xo

That is so funny. I had a dream about 100 Asian men sleeping in my living room, last night. I didn’t swat any of them but have been a little perplexed by it all day. A bee dream wouldn’t be quite so disturbing.

That’s good to know, since I am allergic to bee stings. I’ll be sure to run when I spot #4!
I often have nightmares about being attacked by bears, even though I’ve never actually seen a bear outside of a zoo. The subconscious is a strange thing.

At least you got to Bee #4 before he got to you! We have a lot of those huge fat adorable bumble bees in our backyard. They’re cute and mostly lazy looking, but they still make me nervous when they buzz too close to me. It’s the hornets and yellowjackets that I’m scared of. They even LOOK mean.

Does bee #4 wear a t-shirt with her number on it? Or does she have other distinguishing marks? I’d hate to kill #7 by mistake and get the rest of the hive all pissed at me.

I don’t think your dreams are any madder than most. I had a dream that I was at the hospital and they told me that the left corner of my eyelid wasn’t attached to my eye (like it was supposed to be?) then they said the right corner wasn’t attached – and the top wasn’t attached, and the bottom wasn’t attached. I smiled and said that the way they spoke was as if my eye would fall out at any moment. They gave me that look that said “It will”….HORROR, and I woke up ‘Bee 4′ it did.

My dreams are always so weird and yet border on reality. For example, last night I had a dream that I walked into work and the walls and ceiling were covered in black mold. Everyone wanted to go home but they told us if we did we had to use a vacation day or we’d be fired. Hmmm… sounds like their response to the blizzard last week. And I’m pretty sure there’s something growing inside those walls.

…how I can tell if it’s bee #4.
I mean does he wear a little t-shirt?
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Cowboy got swarmed by yellow jackets last year, over 2 dozen bites. I had to run into the swarm, pull him out of it, and run down the street with him, dodging bites and wiping yellow jackets off of him (they were clustered on him solidly). Any time either of us sees something that resembles a bee or a wasp or anything like that we start blinking involuntarily and bolt.
Your dream just made me run away…

I love random dreams like that. It’s so weird how dreams can work like that where something makes complete sense in the dream, but not so much awake. I’m allergic to bees, but oddly enough it’s the snakes that freak me out in dreams. Thanks for the random share!

My guess is that this dream is telling you to stop dwelling on the past and focus on the road ahead. Killing Bee 4 = Eliminate “before” and focus on “after”.

Barb at WillThink4Wine — I’ve been stung only twice in my life and luckily I’m not allergic. If I was, I’d probably never go outside again in the summer.
JD at I Do Things — I know! How could I think it was #4 when everyone knows the ones in their 30′s are the really dangerous ones? And #36? He’d have probably gotten me if I hadn’t woken up. {makes note}
Lola – Ha! Of course, JD thinks the problem child is #36, so maybe I shouldn’t bother looking for their number and just kill ‘em all with a large can of Raid?
Pricilla — So cute!
Ladybuggz — Oh, no worries. We love ladybugs! And aren’t they a sign of good luck anyway? I wanna keep one in my pocket to protect from Bee #4.
Jen — 100 Asian men? LMAO. I’m not going to try and interpret that. Disturbing. Yes.
absepa — Yes, I remember your thing about bears. I think you commented about that on my last dream post. Girl, worry about any numbered bear. If you see one, run!
Sheila Sultani — Oh, no. He’s no help whatsoever. Deep sleeper. I can’t count on him to save me from my fake bee attacks.
Surfie — I don’t mind those fat juicy ones, the ones that hang low in the air because they’re so chunky. They don’t look like they can move very fast. I hate hornets and wasps. Ew, I’m feeling rather itchy right now. All this talk about bugs.
CatLadyLarew — I don’t blame you. Here’s the deal. Somehow, some way, in your dreams you always know which is #4. In real life, you’re just going to have to ask who’s who.
Babs Beetle — What a horrible eye dream! That must be because of your recent procedures. Ugh. Eye falling out?!?
Buggys — Could have been! You know, I was just talking to a coworker about how when we were kids, our mothers would chase us out of the house all day. We’d go off to play with friends, explore, find pickup games and then not come home til dinner time. And no one ever worried about us being alone in “the wild.” It is quite possible that conversation triggered the dream, at least the part about me being at my childhood home.
Chris at TheSnackHound — Ugh. Hate that song! Yea, I’d take Bee #4 over that any day of the week.
Kelly — Oh, how upsetting. If misery loves company, know that we have mold issues in our office too. Working in a windowless office without good ventilation. Yuck!
Anna — And honestly I don’t even know how you could tell which was which. Why the curly smoke means it’s #4 I’ll never know. Having the number painted on its chest would make much more sense. Or would it?
Ron — I don’t know! (see my remark to Anna just above yours). Dreams are weird. Yet they make so much sense when you’re having them, no?
Wendy — OMG, that makes me sick to think about so many bites. How long did it take them to heal? So sorry to read that. Ugh!!!!!
Michelle Gartner — I don’t know how you’ll know. Somehow that was the identifier in my dream because none of the other bees had curly smoke coming out of them. Incidentally, I think I dreamed about a trail of smoke because I live right under an airport flight path and sometimes can see the exhaust coming out of the jets. Just ask “Are you Bee #4? Are you Been #4?”
Jaffer — Maybe, maybe not. I’ve had dreams where I’m sleeping and don’t want to wake up. Weird!
Maureen — Not now, it’s not! Maybe he came after me bee-cuz I’m so sweet. p.s. I’ve been watching lots of curling this week. Did you see the diamond-checkered pants the guys from Norway wore on Sunday? Oy!
MA Fat Woman — Oooo! I hope it’s the former because it wasn’t the latter!
Linda — Aw, what a cute image. Little jet pack. Funny!
AVCr8teur — Just take ‘em all out. Don’t worry. No one will be mad at you. Unless you kill a ladybug in the process. That’s off-limits.
meleah rebeccah — It would be so funny to me if anyone dreamed about Bee #4 from having read about it. Be sure to keep a fly swatter on your night stand.
Master Dayton — I love random dreams, especially those that run like a movie in my head. It’s very entertaining, except when I’m being chanced by an ax murderer.
Knucklehead! — Thank you Dr. Knucklehead.
Dante — Yes, but…but. My first instinct is to run!!!
Cardiogirl — Ah, thanks! When I told the woman I work with, who was with me and the bees, she was in stitches. Yes, the curlicue helped me keep my eye on it as I swatted it to smithereens, except it clearly wasn’t enough to kill it. Why? Why?
February 19th, 2010 at 5:47 am
That was a scary dream. Now that I have read this, I will probably dream about bees tonight. Thanks a lot. But I sure won’t worry about what number they are, just start swatting and running. Glad it was just a dream and not real although I am sure it felt real.

Maybe Bee #4 was just trying to leave a message for you with the curly smoke. You know, like a tiny little skywriter? You probably should have read the message before you swatted him. Just in case.

I don’t think your dream is weird…mine are really crazy and mixed up.
What you have to take note of here is that you were in safe place and overcame a problem that you knew you could as the solution was identified. That is a good thing but when you woke up you doubted your ability to do so.
Don’t worry you have the strength and ability to overcome a problem you are having at the moment as your inner self says so.

It’s probably best not analyze this one. I would caution you, though, to remove all sharp objects from the bedroom, any weighted items that might be used as a bludgeon, any tasers, pepper spray, Mace, etc. And since a small percentage of the population sleepwalks, you would probably do well to also lock up all cuttlery, ice picks and the like. If you are able to lock the garage door in a secure way (I know you are close to this issue), that’s good. Otherwise, before bed you will need to secure lawn-care equipment–weed whackers, loppers and clippers, chain saws of course, etc.
Following these guidelines should greatly improve the odds for a bright tomorrow. That is, your husband’s.

Since you were at your childhood home, and it was Bee #4 that was the problem, I’d say that there is something from your past, something from before(bee 4)that is stirring up some inner conflict in you. If the woman who told you about Bee #4 really is someone you work with in your waking life, then something about her, or about your work, may be triggering this issue from your past.
OR, it may mean nothing… and is just the interesting creation of your psyche. I love dreams, but still don’t know if they really ‘mean’ anything.
