Vacation Dreaming

#1
Sitting inside a walk-in fridge at the Museum of Glass, munching on veggies. It's dark and I can hear someone else in the building. I come out and startle them as I exit the fridge.

#2
Working at Home Depot. Trying to balance my till and it's not working. All my dance buddies are in the office ready to head out for a performance. I tell them I'll join them as soon as I'm done. 

#3
In a crappy apartment (maybe in New York?) watching Meg Ryan explain to a woman why she loves... someone. Not really clear.

#4
In my dad's old apartment in Tacoma. A spider has picked up a kitten. I shoo the spider away with a broom and realize there are several newborn kittens in the apartment and a couple grown ones that really want my attention (no food?).

#5
In line to audition for a TV show starring Emeril Lagasse. I'm just there keeping Reena company because part of the audition involves singing (and I can't sing).

#6
On a luxury cruise ship that has broken down. We start rationing out food and one girl tells me she has some leftover gluten free pizza. I ask if it's any good and she says it's terrible.

#7
At Brian's house. Julie confesses to me that she really wants to open a BBQ restaurant. I walk up to Ian who is sitting on the stairs with a large bag of candy next to him. I ask if I can have some Skittles. He says I have to ask his dad. I ask Brian and he says no.

#8
I'm in a park and walk up to a picnic table. Bret Michaels and a bunch of Rock of Love girls are sitting at the table. I can see Bret looking at one of the girls and can hear his thoughts: "She looked like the sweetest, most wholesome girl you'd ever meet... until she did a line of blow."

#9
In the audience for the Oprah show. Oprah has realized that she's pregnant and has decided to give birth on her show. Her doctor informs her that she's actually been pregnant for the last 15 years. She gives birth to a 12" high 15 year old.

#10
In a play with my friend Amanda, Oprah's 12" high 15 year old, and Catherine Zeta Jones. Amanda leans over to me during the show and says, "She's so good!" I reply, "Cathy? Yeah, she's great."

Note: Took a vacation from work last week but apparently that didn't stop me from dreaming about co-workers... and random celebrities. Prior to my vacation I hadn't been remembering many of my dreams but I think I have it solved now.

Awww, look at the kitty!

#1
At the base of a hill. I have three options. I can walk up the smooth part, run up the hilly part, or take an ATV over the really rocky part. I'm supposed to choose the option that will get me to the top fastest.

#2
Working at the animal shelter. Not like washing puppies or anything-- doing my real-life, normal job inside the animal shelter. Reena's sitting at her desk next to me in the hallway. Mike and Ali are working inside the glass-walled room where they keep all the cats. I walk up to the room for a closer look. A puppy has found a way to sneak into the cat shelter and is being pounced upon by several kittens.

Note: Big thanks to Kevin and Stowe for pimping my blog in their awesome web comic this morning. The pressure to deliver high energy, entertaining dreams is on!

Pretty sure dream #1 is based on an episode of Biggest Loser I watched earlier this week. The contestants could climb up and down a massive amount of stairs for 5 points, or take the trolley up the hill for 1 point. First person to 100 points won a car.

Dream #2 is most likely inspired by the trip I took to the Humane Society earlier this week. I've decided to get a cat and wanted to make sure I was fully prepared (financially, scheduling-wise, etc.). I wandered through the "cattery" and wanted to take at least half of them home that day.
