Crazy Dream...

I don't usually write about my dreams, but this one was so bizarre that it totally warrants its own post.

So, I was riding on the back of Taka's motorcycle (yeah, she has one in the dream) and she was driving me to the DMV so I could get my own license for a motorcycle. The thing is, I have never actually controlled a motorcycle myself so this was sort of...weird. And as we're driving, she's telling me how to get around the DMV and to lie to them and tell them that I have driven and all of that. So we get there and they ask me like 2 questions (my name and if I have driven a motorcycle) and after I answer, I get a license. That was it. So, I turn to Taka and I say, "yeah, that was a little too easy. It worries me that I didn't even have to take a road test or anything."

Then, about half a minute later, The Chameleon is riding a motorcycle and I'm on the back of it and I'm teaching him how to do it. Mind you, still haven't been in control of one myself but I'm instructing him and I somehow know what I'm doing. Then, we pull up to an outdoor flower garden thing and we're riding in a huge garden maze (like Labyrinth) and he starts singing the Pixies' "Caribou" which is making tiny gnome people appear in the bushes. The only words he's singing, however, are "repent" and "Caribou" so it's not like he's doing the whole song. But these tiny gnome people are mean and have tiny pokey knife things that they keep digging into our ankles, so The Chameleon says, "This is why you have to take the road test for it to count."

Somehow, we end up at Sputz's house (not her parents' house, but a house that we knew and understood was hers despite the fact that I've never actually seen the house before in my life). She was hosting a tea party for her grad school friends and was mad at us for showing up because we were wearing leather (y'know...motorcycle...leather...makes sense) and she had a "floral only" dress code to her party. She herself was wearing some poofy Alice In Wonderland style dress with horrible flowers all over it. Then, she handed me a mug of sour apple Pucker and told me that I had to drink it if I wanted to stay. So I downed it and she told me to change in her room.

I go to put on some blue flowered dress and when I come out, The Chameleon has on a suit and Sputz is telling me that we all have to go to the tv station so they can film us. We get on a train. Instead of the train taking us to a tv station, we end up in the Hinman Commons and we're suddenly trying to build a set to a show called "Nope" (yeah, no clue) and we don't have any of the building materials. My brother shows up and starts taking control until we go out back to take a break. Now, we're in my parents' backyard in the pool and having a party. And then I realized that I was supposed to be in work and missed our biggest show of the year and was going to get fired.

I'd try to analyze the meaning of this but I'm pretty sure it's all because my temperature this morning was 99.2 degrees. My brain is a funny place to live.

Whoa. That's a weird one. I had one once involving a wedding of two HS friends of mine, a French bistro, Johnny Depp and Kermit the Frog, but I forget how it was all connected, as this was years ago and I never wrote it down.

The thing that struck me about this post is that I can never "dream create" any house/apt/building I have never seen. We can be at anyone's house or apartment, but if I haven't seen it in real life, then it looks like one I have.

It is also apparently unusual that I dream in color, but I definitely do. *shrug*

Miss you. <3
