Post apocalyptic fish tank removals

Had a weirdo dream that was different enough that I remembered it when I woke up.

It was some dystopian, "after society broke down" type dreas mscape with roving bands plundering for resources, but we still had fish in a bunch of different sized tanks.

The bit I remember was having to do an emergency transfer and submerging a medium sized tank in a giant "could fit a billiard table and a few friends" sized tank, but when we pulled the medium tank out and carried it to the table, it was warping and twisting. Kept thinking it was going to shatter.

Bad dreams

Not really a nightmare as such, just a dream that was a bit unpleasant.

At the airport, trying to get on a flight and every little thing that could cause a delay, caused a delay. Ended up doing bulk running chasing the plane on the taxiway.

Only just woke up and I feel utterly exhausted, like I'd just finished a marathon.

Dream redux

Had another dream that I remembered. I had this dream last night but didn't get to write this post until now. I did jot a few quick notes when I woke up to remind me later. :)

I was driving a prime mover (big truck with long trailer behind it) in an inner city / urban area type place. Needed to get in and out of really tight places (like, nearly folding the truck back on itself to get in type tight) and with all the stresses on the truck it broke the steering stuff, so ended up blocking traffic with the two front wheels pointing at each other.

Not good.

Jump out, trying to direct traffic around and fix the truck when a bunch of young blokes wander up and are getting up close with the truck. Not an issue, doesn't bother me. But then they jostle my wife who was helping. I grab the guys (well, obe of them) and start pushing and shoving and yelling "back! back! further, back off!"

I didn't care about the truck, I wanted to keep them away from my better half! No way I'm going to let some punk jostle her!

That's about where I woke up.

Dream 2: Electric Boogaloo

How strange, second night in a row I've had a dream strong enough to remember in the morning.

Last nights' dream, I was down south for work and there was this one very odd vehicle that had to come back up north. It looked like a bunch of old 4wd's welded together into one long, unweildly monstrosity with multiple axles.

Somehow I was voluntold to drive it back, being long and with multiple articulation points of course there were roadworks which caused me to have to drive off into some bizarre racetrack where it promptly broke.

Got back onto the main road but had to peddle the rest of the way. On the plus side, got lots of support from people driving past. On the down side, that's a long way to peddle a tiny road train...

Dream three(m)

How curious, another dream I remember.

This one, I was driving a truck and got out of it for some reason. Somehow, the truck got into gear and headed off up a steep hill.

It was going slow enough that I could run after it, but fast enough that I couldn't quite catch it.

I don't know how long the dream actually lasted, or if I was moving around in my sleep but when I woke up I was so tired, and felt like I'd run a marathon. Running uphill is not fun, even dream running!

On an unrelated note, a while back I learned that marathons actually have a defined length. It's a marathon if the course is 42.195km long (so I guess 42.194km isn't a marathon, just a light run?).

More dreams

Its not often that I remember my dreams, most of the time they are gone by the time I wake up.

Had a rather vivid one last night, still remember large parts of it quite clearly.

We (I have no idea who, but there was a group of us) were aboard a privately owned aircraft carrier that had been converted to like a private yatch type thing. I remember the motion of the ship and watching the waves.

Then we were on another, smaller boat in a harbour with loads of other ships around and there was heaps of people dumping weapons and body armour into the water. I remember asking why they were doing that and was told it was as markers for wargames, to test if the equipment coukd find the stuff. "It's okay, because we counted everything prior to putting it in place."

That's great mate, you'll end up with a very accurate list of the number of items that are missing....

Lighthouse keeper

I had another weird dream.

Dreamt we bought or owned a lighthouse. Constantly working on the maintenance, paying bills - but no matter how hard we worked, we couldn't turn a profit.

Would have helped if the lighthouse wasn't in the middle of the desert. :(

Making cakes...

...in my dreams. Had a weird dream that I and someone else (some random npc my subconscious pulled out) were making a cake for some tv show.

We had no clue what we were doing so we were following a recipe, but the steps were weird. Like, one step was add eggs and sugar, then next step was add milk, then third step was separate yolk and egg whites and only add yolks.

Seemed like the recipe was written by someone deliberately trying to sabotage the cake making. Maybe my brain was trying to tell me to read all the instructions before starting something. Or don't trust recipes from the internet. :P

Dreams

Most of the time, when I remember dreams, I only dimly recall them in the first few minutes after waking up.

Sometimes, I remember them longer, long enough to share them with my Wife.

I might get into the habit of writing them down in the morning. I've read somewhere that it helps to develop memory and increase your chances of lucid dreaming.

Plus it might give me some ideas for creative writing!
