Dream from last night: Get out of my dreams and into my (hot pink) car

I pretty much ALWAYS have crazy vivid dreams.  They are generally weird.  Sometimes they can be emotionally on fire and others they can just be downright nightmarish.  Sometimes I wake up scared form my life and check every part of my apartment for the presence of someone else.  Sometimes I wake up and feel like I've time traveled or something strange.  Or I feel like I've had some out of body experience!  Sometimes I think I've just played a part in a movie...  I mean pretty much anything is fair game when I dream....

Well... last night was a weird one....  and as far as dreams go... I'll take weird.  It's better than the super scary ones that I wake up nearly paralyzed unable to move from.  So weird is... not "good" but... yea it's just not bad I suppose...

Well so as my bonus blog for tonight... here's my dream:

Last night I had a strange dream like I usually do.  Or as I said weird.  Weirdly strange.  I was at a high-school dance.  Good old fashioned dance in the gym with DJ on one side and then half the kids all sitting on each side of the gym.  And then a handful of people dancing in the middle.

But it was current day.  So as in it was all people I know from work and life and family and friends and just in general pretty much people I know.

BUT we were dressed up like we were in the 80's.  So maybe it was an 80's themed thing?  I don't know for sure?  So I'm hanging out on some bleachers with like 1 friend from each circle of my life... like 1 from high school... one from college... one from california... when I was little.... one from Camp... one from church...  one from skiing and ski team... one from work where I'm at now... just like... all these different people I've known.   And we are all just kinda sitting in one big group watching the whole dance.

Then this one girl looks at me... and I can't help but stare at her.  I look away and then my eyes pass her again and she's just staring right back at me..

And then my one friend from Skiing says... "dude... stop staring at her!  You're gonna freak her out!  Ladies don't like to be freaked out."

I look away but don't say anything.  Every time I look back she's looking back at me.

And every time I keep staring at her... one of my other friends tells me to stop.  And then I look away.  Then all of a sudden I'm REALLY nervous.  And I'm ready to leave, and I have to get out of there.  So then I start saying good bye to everyone but there's sooooo many people i have to say goodbye to... and I keep looking at the girl and she's staring back... only now...

Her friends are all staring at me too... but they are staring at me... sorta... like curious... as in they didn't see who their friend was staring at but they want to know... Sort of asking her which one are you looking at?  And then talking to each other and giggling... and pointing at me.

Suddenly I'm sooooo nervous... my heart is like in my stomach and I'm just thinking ... I have to leave NOW.

I try to get out of there more quickly but there's sooooo many freaking people to say good bye to!

Then the music stops... and there's an announcement from the DJ guy....

"Ladies and Gents... it's time for the Lip sync contest!  Whoever is holding the mic has to sing!"

I look down and I'm holding a mic.

TIME OUT.... I just want to say... Whoever comes up with the stuff that happens in dreams... it's soooooo like... nonsensical!  Seriously.  WHY does this stuff happen?  Why couldn't one of my friends be randomly holding a mic...

and HOW in the world do my hands go from holding NOTHING to holding a microphone?

It just makes no sense. COME.. ON...  I don't get it!  Dreams are just... strange.

ok time in... soo...

Then the music starts going and it's that song... Billy ocean get out of my dreams and into my car.

The DJ guy chimes in again and he's like "Well???  Which lucky lady are you going to charm???"

I'm suddenly in the center of the dance floor and everyone is around me and then that girl is in he middle of the dance floor in front of me.  She looks back at her friends and they are kind of giving mixed looks like some of them are cheering her on... but some are sort of saying like for her to leave and go back to them....

Well... I start lip syncing the song to her...

only it's really just that chorus part over and over again and not the whole song.  And then eventually it just cuts out.

Then it's TOTALLY awkward and we're just all standing there... and she's randomly chewing gum... which she wasn't chewing a moment before.

She looks back at her girly group... and then I look back at my friends who are on the bleachers.

Then she says...

 

"Ok let's see your car."

 

Soooo... I look back at my friends and then I look at her and say "ok just... wait here."

I run back to my friends and say "She wants to see my car!"

Then one of my friends runs outside... I'm guessing he's going to get my car.

Then... a moment later he's driving the car through these giant doors that opened up in the wall...

And... it's hot pink.

I'm GUESSING this was inspired by the blog that I wrote Sunday morning... about the cases for cars?  Seriously.... dreams just... are SOOOOO RANDOM!

Well so he gets out of the car and then throws me the keys.

Then I run back to her... and I'm trying to tell her that's NOT my car!  As soon as I reach her... she says....

"I don't date boys with hot pink cars.  Sorry."

I kept trying to yell after her to say it wasn't my car.  But she just kept walking... till she reached her friends...

Then one of her friends turned around and walked back to me....

I kept trying to go around her but she kept pushing me away and blocking me from getting past...  It was that weird slow motion like trying to get around this person but no matter what I did she was always quicker than me at blocking the way.

The dream kinda turned into me in a train station trying to make a train and there just being TONS and people around me blocking my way...

Then I'm not sure what happened from there.

So I don't know... it was just a weird strange dream.  And it was REALLY vivid and then I don't know... I guess I felt funny all day.

Anywho there you have it.  It's definitely one of my more... odd dreams.

 

So what I learned from my dream is:

Don't stare at girls... even if they are staring at you.

Don't drive hot pink cars.

and don't even try to mess with a girls friend... you'll never get past her no matter how hard you try.

And on that note.  I'm going to sleep.  We'll see what kinda dreams happen tonight.
