I am a vivid dreamer (day and night). I always have been. Sometimes it's great (daytime: creativity, nighttime: flying adventures), and sometimes it's...a little scary (daytime: not paying attention to the task at hand, nighttime: having to regularly ask David if a "memory" I have really happened or not...it usually did not).
Anyhow, lately, these are some of the dreams I've had:
1. I was one of the top three "American Idol" finalists, and desperately trying to convince Paula Abdul that I shouldn't be there because I can't sing. "I have great 6-note range," I said. "It's a 6-note range." Her only response was, "Well, girl, you can sing!" I looked around as if to say, "What are these people smoking??"
2. I was part of an ocean-exploration team. We lived in an underwater station and accidentally blew up a whale in an effort to "get" the bad guys. I woke myself up laughing at how hilariously off the mark we were with the whole effort...niiiiiice job saving the environment, us!
3. A high school friend of mine was concerned for my ever-growing "gut". I informed him that I was pregnant with my third, and that's just the way it was. He seemed doubtful. I said that my body had done it twice before and I was pretty sure it knew what it was doing. We then left the dispute to jump on the trampoline.
4. RECURRING DREAM: I am in school and have math class next. It suddenly occurs to me that not only have I not finished my homework for that day, I have also neglected to attend class once during the semester. I am worried and perturbed that I will flunk and have to retake it. I also realize that I have fulfilled my math requirements, so why am I taking this class anyway?
5. RECURRING DREAM: My high school track coach tells me I am running the 400m in the meet that afternoon. I try to explain that I haven't run one of those in almost a decade, and also I am pregnant. It doesn't make a difference. I nervously pack my bag and wonder if it's possible in my current state to run it in under 70 seconds. I can't find my spikes. I think it's very weird and a little frustrating that I have to run this race later.
Too funny!
Do you dream?
Do you have recurring dreams?
What are they?

One of my dreams is that I'm back in high school, but I can't remember what classes I'm registered for or where my locker is. I have an anxiety attack because no one will or can help me find out where I'm supposed to go.
Strange, indeed. I have a recurring dream that's frighteningly similar to your number 4. I'm taking a class and have to prep for an exam. I show up and realize I haven't been to this class all semester. I wonder what it all means...
Haha...your dreams are hilarious - especially the American Idol one. I once had a dream where a bounty hunter came and took (my) Dave away. How weird, huh. Do you notice that your dreams are in a little more detail when you are pregnant, or is that just me?
he-he. Can I be like you when I grow up? : )
I can't remember the last dream I've had...maybe lack of sleep??? I do day-dream though. Those are usually more "grand", like writing a best-seller, or being able to spike a volleyball (I'm practicing). he-he
Just so you know, I never commented on this because I really dont' have recurring dreams, and often don't remember my dreams. But I do know that last night I dreamt that I helped someone stopped on the side of the road--this person's car broke down and her child was hungry, so I gave her a bag of animal crackers. Kinda weird!
You took my idea! I was going to post on our blog the crazy dream I had too. I guess great minds think alike.
