Can't build a website if the fireboat sinks

#1
I'm some place where there are a bunch of houses on the water connected by docks. My coworkers are in the houses and we're trying to finish a project. Due to some sort of technical difficulty the only way we can relay messages to each other is through an elaborate game of "telephone". I'm wandering around the docks waiting for a message from Mike so I can pass it along to Glen and notice a fireboat docked down the way. As I wander by again I notice it's sinking. Andrzej comes walking up from another house and is pissed because the people that own the fireboat are our clients and it's their fault it sank and now we can't finish the project.

Brian pulls up in a big Escalade full of people, including a guy I used to work with at Home Depot (also named Mike). They ask me where Corina Bakery is and I tell them it's on 7th and Broadway. I ask other Mike why Home Depot Mike is there and he says he doesn't know why anyone invited him since he never brings beer and just drinks everyone else's.

Note: I know Corina Bakery's not on 7th and Broadway but in my dream I was convinced it was.

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.

Kate Gosselin climbs like a monkey.

#1
I am at my high school reunion which is set in some sort of stadium. There are pop up canopies everywhere with groups of people standing under them. My canopy includes myself, Suze, and some girls I went to school with (Aubrey Bean, Natalie Heckman, and Rebekka Gunther). Apparently we've decided to form a band and have grabbed a guy from the next tent over because he knows how to play the drums.

#2
I'm at Jimmy T's in Kent, WA for the upcoming Michael Jackson bellydance show. The place is packed. The first act performs and then I get up to talk about how the idea for the show came to be. I get ready to announce the next act, which turns out to be 3 drag kings in light-up Elvis suits. They come out and start dancing to a mashup of Cold Hard Bitch and some song by AC/DC that I can't remember.

#3
I'm at Home Depot and someone has built an obstacle course. I am competing against Kate Gosselin and some other girl I don't recognize. One of the challenges involves climbing up a giant ladder and down the other side. After the competition is over (I don't think I won) I decide I want to run the course again, but someone has taken the ladder over to the lumber department. I chase them and try to explain that they can't just steal the ladder, we're in the middle of a competition! They explain that they have no choice; they need to bring some lumber down from one of the higher racks. I try to find one of my old coworkers in order to complain.

Note: This is a combination of last night's dream (#1) and a couple from the weekend. I actually had way more dreams than this, but I can't always remember enough to justify a blog entry. For instance, about a week ago I had a dream with comedian Dane Cook in it. I would have written about it, but the only thing I could remember was him going off on a tangent about Hungarians.  Another problem is that sometimes I dream truly depressing stuff that I don't feel is appropriate to share. This is supposed to be entertaining, not a downer.

Also, one of my co-workers sent me a cell phone pic of bacon right before I went to sleep last night. Sorry Mark. No bacon dreams.
