Should I Be Worried?


Those of you who have known me a long time, know that I have a rather vivid dreamlife. Well, I should say I used to at least in high school. In recent years, I've slept like a log and usually through the night....until the past two months or so. Now, it seems I have to pee a couple times, I wake up with really bad night sweats, and my crazy dreams are back.

Take last night for instance: I was on a Greyhound bus that stopped at my high school. But I didn't want to get off at the high school. I really needed to go to Hurlock (the local nearby town) but the bus driver wouldn't tell me if he would go or not. So, I had to get off and my friend Julie and I went inside the mall. (Now, there is no mall near my high school, but it was there in the dream). We wanted coffee and got in line. A woman way down the counter said she could take my order so I walked down there.....behind the counter....where I gave her my order of a cup of coffee and was scolded to go back around front. When I got around front, however, she did not have my coffee. Instead she was making me a grilled ham and cheese sandwich which I did not want. So, we left, and went to an outdoor auditorium to meet up with my good friend - Miley Cyrus. Well, she was my good friend in the dream. She was practicing for her upcoming Hannah Montana movie and the Jonas Brothers were her opening act. Now, my friend Julie was very upset because she too, was apparently an up and coming Disney singing sensation and didn't like that I was friends with the competition. So, I had them talk and they became friends and decided they would put out a holiday album together in December. Then I heard that there was another big event that was going to happen in Columbus Ohio the same time that Miley's concert was going to happen so I had to convince the city council to move it so they would not conflict. All I remember is that the city council was about 100 people all dressed in super puffy heavy down jackets because of course, Columbus is cold in July. Then I woke up....no wonder I'm tired in the mornings.

In other recent dreams:
As a contestant on Project Runway, I got to have a barbeque with Heidi Klum who told us our next challenge was to redesign the rooms in a house being flipped by a lesbian attorney with a bad haircut who lived in Newark, NJ (I think this was somehow all of Bravo's reality shows collapsed into one).

Lots of dreams about beaches and boardwalks...in San Francisco (of which there are very few in real life) and back home in Ocean City and Rehoboth.

What do you think? Can anyone interpret?

I'm not sure I can interpret your dreams but you may watch too much television...

Actually, I don't watch a lot of TV - haven't had any cable or reception for almost a year now. I do read a lot of the tabloid gossip in the paper though so maybe that's where it comes from.
