can't believe I forgot to post my dream that tied-in with JL's.

First: I was riding the Chicago El all around town. I ended up in this big park, and I wandered around for a while. Eventually I found my destination, a weird building. I went inside and the dream all changed. Now I was boarding a starship with various Star Trek characters. We were going to be the first humans to go to Romulus. In the dream I did not remember that the Romulans have twin home worlds. I confided to Picard that this had always been a fantasy of mine, and he yelled at me. "THE SECOND YOU START TO ENJOY IT... THE SECOND YOU START THINKING EVERYTHING IS GREAT. THAT'S WHEN THEY'LL ATTACK. NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN." I was impressed by Patrick Stewart's acting, and thought about how lucky I was to have been cast in this part.

The next night: I hung out with a local urbanist dude and talked about graduate school. He advised me to get an MSW with a focus in economic/social development instead of a master's in urban planning, because there are more jobs (this is how you know it was a dream). Then I cleared the table and accidentally threw their plate full of bagels into the trash. The dream ended with me reflecting on the fact that he and his girlfriend didn't look at all like their twitter avatars. He fulfills some sort of archetype for me, because I think about this guy a lot-- he is like my imaginary devil's advocate when I think about social issues.

i was touring a factory where they made thin metal decorations for homes and gardens, like they stamp roosters and bunnies(etc.) out of tin.  i saw that one of the dudes and an older lady with whom i went to college, as well as a dude with whom i went to ES/MS/HS work there(none of them know each other in actual reality).  they had a motor driven chain system about 7 feet off the ground that ran all around the place.  it had hooks hanging from it with the decorations hanging from them and as they passed through a paint booth, they would come out black on the other side.  after a while they would pass a table where people were sitting.  it was a lot like when i had to work on the paint line at the stove factory.  anyway, i saw a decorative shoe and i took it off its hook, just to look at.  it was made to look sort of like a regular shoe.  there was a long oval and an "upper" and "lower" part, all stitched together with copper wire.  it looked kinda crappy; it wasnt even painted, the stitching was hella sloppy and stopped in random places.  i took it to the lady supervisor to show her and she took it to wherever it was supposed to go to get fixed.  i thought to myself, "i could totally work here.  i pretty much know how to do the job."  all of a sudden some woman my age started getting attitude-y with me, saying stuff like, "you dont even work here," and, "thats my job."  i was pretty passive about it, you know, i apologized and all that, then she started in on another tirade.  i walked away and noticed that all the other employees were standing around listening to a different supervisor give some lame safety talk, or whatever.  i glanced to my left and saw the older lady i went to college with talking to(flirting with?) a young dude next her. she was all sly and asked, "so, when are you taking me out to dinner?"  it ended there because i woke up.

living in a shitty apartment in a weird part of town, where my neighbors tell me that it's really rude to have friends over. I negotiate that I will stop having friends over if they will stop "all the violence." Then my girlfriend tells me she is pregnant, and she is really gleeful about it. I lock myself in the bathroom and take a shower and think about how insane that is. The rest of the dream was trying to fix the broken shower.

On that note, should we have actually had a separate "I had a nightmare . . . " thread?

I have read that a common thing that happens in dreams is being unable to turn off faucets, read clocks, and turn lights on/off. I wonder why that is? In this one I turned the faucets so far that they broke off.

I'm frequently frustrated by my inability to punch someone in a dream.  One time it made me so mad that I forced, and forced, and forced it until I was able to do it.  Then I woke up to my dazed wife that I had just clocked under the chin.

I've never dreamed about faucets not working, but I often dream about not being able to turn off stuff like TVs and radios, or not being able to dial a number on a phone.

Rhea Perlman came up recently in this thread; I last saw her in a Law & Order episode a while ago.  I remembered that she is married to Danny De Vito; extraordinarily for a Hollywood couple their marriage has endured for 30 years (and they've been shacked up since 1969 according to Cigar Aficionado).  In poking around the interwebs I came across this picture of them with their two daughters

I'm certain that there has been reference to their daughters here before.

I had the dream of a 14 year old girl recently.  I think it was accidentally delivered to my subconscious, but meant for some girl one street over.

I dreamed I was Bella from Twilight, have fun running with Jacob and the other wolves, then they all morphed in to puppies and it was cuddle time!

I was especially excited in the dream because one of the puppies was a long haired daschund puppy. 

This morning I fell back asleep after the clock radio went off, and I dreamed that my coworker was telling me the traffic report!
