ysobelLast couple nights were kinda wild, dreamwise:
1. Banquet dinner at the White House, where everyone was at a long thin table. Multi course meal. One course was something or other "flambé" which meant a pile of sliced meats with a lit stuck in like a birthday candle. One course was the microwaveable Kraft mac-and-cheese bowls.
2. Episode of Star Trek something -- the opening theme was Voyager mushed with Orville, but characters were DS9 -- where Bashir and Jadzia, in their pre-Starfleet lives but yet on DS9, were doing some sort of heist job, and Bashir had an invisibility suit. He bought a signed baseball that was on display in a shop before going invisible for the heist.
3. I was in college and therefore sharing a room, only the person I was sharing with wasn't around much when she was awake. My aide was stripping me down ("I guess I'm taking a shower" thought dream me) when suddenly someone knocked at the door asking for my roommate. I opened the door a crack to talk and she forced her way inside claiming she was the roommate's fiancée from an arranged marriage; she had all these questions about the roommate, and I realized that the reason my roommate wasn't around much was because this girl was basically stalking her
4. I had written a novel out longhand and had to type it up, only the room I was in had the desk facing the wall, and there was a piece of furniture -- tall, wooden, with several drawers in the bottom half and then side-hinged doors on the upper section that opened out to a small shirt closet on the right side and several open shelves for jewelry on the left -- that for inexplicable reasons I did NOT want to have my back to. The desk wall had a large mirror above the desk but that wasn't good enough, so I got help moving the desk around so I could keep the Scary Thing in sight. I told myself it was an ordinary whatever and that nothing was going to happen ... except then the right side of the doors on the upper half started slowly opening and closing by itself, just a few inches back and forth. I was having trouble keeping my eyes open (in the dream) but was also getting scared. Then suddenly both of the upper doors slammed shut, then opened to reveal a *totally different* interior that included some kind of machinery that started telescoping out into the room. I didn't know if it was a weapon or what, but I was pretty terrified by that point, and tried shouting for help but my voice wasn't carrying at all--
-- at which point I woke up with my heart absolutely pounding. My brain was still in "don't close your eyes!!!11" mode even though I immediately realized that the Scary Cabinet Thing had been a dream, and it took like twenty minutes to relax and at least thirty more to get back to sleep.
Now I know what it feels like to live in a Steven King book? 😂 Or maybe an episode of Dr Who. Not sure. But if the Doctor arrived it was after I woke up.
