What Dreams May Come…

I wouldn't say I've been doing too many LFR; however last night I had a nightmare that the world was taken over by these multi-colored globules that mysteriously traveled in 3s.  What was the most terrifying is I was not with my family.  I was traveling with a doctor who had a strange tendancy to go off road down grassy lanes and onto dirt roads.  Yes.  Yes, that makes perfect sense.  Let's take this non off road vehicle - off road - when we're fleeing for our lives from giant jelly creatures that devour everything in sight.  For anyone who has ever read or seen a horror movie, you know that one of the unwritten rules is NEVER stop a perfectly good vehicle and leave it.  Period.  Well, my traveling companion (the doctor) heard a baby crying and just could not ignore it.  Hey - you and I know that's the oldest trick in the book to get someone to stop and leave a perfectly good vehicle behind.  I'm fairly certain the Zombie Survival Guide would apply in this case and I should have left his ass behind and kept driving.  I really, really wish I had.  Instead, I was the dutiful (pfft) dream Jamie and got out of the car to follow the sounds of the crying baby.

We came upon an encampment of other survivalist and yet some how they had houses and I think - but I'm not 100% - there was a Starbucks.  So that answers the age-old question of what would really survive a global annilation - and that would be cockroaches and Starbucks.

Now this is where it gets a little hazy.  We did find the house with the crying baby and once the family discovered my companion was a doctor we were immediately offered shelter.  Then some young girls thought it was a stellar idea to go to Starbucks for coffee because let's face it - if you're gonna die why not go down with a cup of coffee in your hands.  For whatever reason, my motherly instincts (which I try to leave behind in any nightmare) decided to kick in and I went with them.  When we arrived we went into this weird faze where the "evil" survivalists wanted to take advantage of the situation by being very, very, very evil indeed.  This was actually the scariest part of my dream.  One of the young girls that had accompanied us went missing.  However it wasn't from one of the globules that we could see for miles and miles surrounding us - she was taken by one of the evil survivalist.  At some point in all of this, the entire camp could see a horse being attacked by the globules, so someone shot it to put it out of its misery.

Then I woke up.

A few things of note of what I'm going through right now.  My son just moved out this week and rather than deal with it I've been ignoring it.  My daughter works at Starbucks and some mornings needs to be at work at 4:30am so guess who gets to drive her.  Ed ususally does because he's a morning person, but he's been very sick this week so I'm filling in.  I just thought it was interesting how some of these things played into my nightmare.

So - what have you been dreaming about this week?  And do you think dreams have a deeper meaning other than our brain working through the mess that's in there?
