Oh, that was immediately simulated i suspect
who, me? still no. not sure why it matters, though.
Last night I dreamed that while I was still married, we were on a break and somehow I connected with my high school crush. We were making out in bed and things were progressing but I wasn’t sure if I had a hall pass to have sex due to being on a break, since I was married and maybe we’d get back together, and my high school crush had gained a bunch of weight, so definitely not as sexy as in high school. I ended up relieved that we didn’t have any condoms as that was my way out.
I occasionally take a road trip with my mom. During a nap today someone advised us that if we hadn’t spent quality time in California, we owed it to ourselves to go there.
- I was with a bunch a people my age or younger, at a place like the Mall of America. I thought about getting spicy asian food at a certain restaruant, but as a group we went somewhere else. It was confusing trying to pay the bill, every time I tried typing a tip into the credit card machine, other numbers would get erased. So they directed me to another area where I could do it the old fashioned way, signing a piece of paper. They had initially undercharged me or so I thought, but the next time the price seemed steep. I had leftovers and they had specifically charged me about $2 to box them. There was also an additional service charge based on the amount of tax I was paying. I was very annoyed by all this and decided not to leave a tip since they were helping themselves to extra money already.
- Then we were back in a room with a lot of basic beds and we each got one drawer to put some of our clothes in. We were going on a trip that might involve optional swimming so I was looking for my trunks. But I couldn’t remember which drawer was mine so I was looking through them all. In one drawer all the clothes had the word Trix (the cereal) on them. I exclaimed, “Who has Trix-themed clothing?” and looked around and immediately saw the person with Trix-themed bedding as well.
- We were then in a minivan. The person up front had control of the speed but I was behind them in the middle row steering the car left and right. I also had a fuel efficiency gauge, and it seemed like the car was a VW. I seemed to be driving just fine without looking outside, but when I did it seemed like I needed to be seeing where we wre going. We were also looking down from about 50 ft with a very tall vehicle.
- I also had a brief flashback from a recurring dream I have which is having to relocate and not being able to pack up or get from A to B in the time allowed.

I remember dreaming.
Maybe I took in too much news lately, as Donald Trump featured in one of my dreams last night.
I was in my office when Trump and others came in (others were nobody I recognized ). They believed I had a memo written by Devin Nunes that was very incriminating somehow. I told them I was pretty certain I did not have it but would look for it. They didn’t believe me, and were pressuring me to cough it up.
I left them there in my office to go to the bathroom, and while walking in that direction I had second thoughts about leaving them alone in my office. I turned back, and as I was returning I heard Trump say “I’m pretty sure this ****** has that memo, but even if he doesn’t he has lots of other stuff we can sell to competitors for millions”. I enter and Trump is rummaging through my stuff. He stops when he sees me, and starts ranting about needing that memo again.
Then I woke up.

I started out in Germany at a nice hotel. I was there for a work event. At some point I had ended up on a public bus, but I figured out how to get back to the hotel. After the work activities finished, I remembered I had a rental car and decided to figure out how to spend the evening.
Then I got an email in Spanish asking me to do some work on a van. I don’t really know much spanish, so it wasn’t going to be easy to ask specifics. So I figured I would change the oil, the air filter, and the speak plugs. If any of those things needed to be replaced, it is unlikely anyone would complain about me doing it.
Fell asleep listening to a Freakonomics bc I like the Richard Feynman series and these ladies were talking about giving him shrooms.
That morphed into a dream about a shriveled up Feynman and a few old ladies who seemed to be in a custody battle over him. And then some other weird stuff. Oh yeah & my step MIL was there and was all “I love Richard Feynman,” and she can’t know who he even is.

Weird for me, I remembered a coworker in a dream last night, someone I haven’t thought of in likely decades. We got along well at work, but we weren’t close outside of work. Huh.

Ok let me try to remember. My sis-in-law was also there and claiming she knew Feynman better than I did and I don’t know for sure my response but I was thinking, “I’m the one with a physics degree,” and getting kind of mad. And something about my car being driven in mud and then inside a house and when I finally saw Feynman he looked like a weird Star Wars character and that’s really all I can remember.

oh, i’ll bet she “knew” him…
She is NOT his type. 
(And neither am I. My interest is purely academic.
)
Was about to xpost to insignificant signals thread, but Feynman’s been dead a while so ew.

Context: I am waiting for year-end compensation numbers so I know when the bonus pays out and I can give my 2 weeks notice and retire. Should happen next week I believe.
I was in a classroom but it was really the workplace. Mark, a good colleague I have worked with a lot who is more senior but isn’t my boss came by and collected my keys and someone else’s and put them into a toolbox. Later on a call with other people he said he would get me to figure out how to solve all our problems because in the last week or two all I have been doing is studying. In reality I probably am only working half the time at this point, things are a bit slow.
In the dream I was a bit annoyed that he was giving me such an important yet vague request and also slightly dissing me on a conference call. It’s not my fault things are a bit slow recently. I grabbed the toolbox and started looking for my keys but couldn’t find them. So I gave the toolbox to Mark and told him he owed me a set of keys and he promptly got to work finding them.
In reality my hope was to be able to continue as part-time or an independent contractor but I’m not sure I even want that anymore. I don’t hate my job, it just isn’t that interesting anymore.
had a dream where my HS friends showed up at the lake cabin to have fun and hang out and compare our experiences in my industry.
reality - i live 1500 miles from all of them now and see them every 5 years at a reunion. they are not in my industry.
Have to get this down or I’ll forget.
Went out of state to see some family who had invited us. But something had come up and they weren’t there. We stayed overnight and went to their church on Sunday. They were starting a new kids program & I was a little offended they hadn’t asked for my advice as I was heavily involved in this program in the past, but then I found out who was in charge and I didn’t want to be involved. The kids were super cute and did a little march thru the sanctuary.
Then it turned out my sis in laws family was there. They couldn’t go with the rest of the fam bc one of their boys was in trouble. We were supposed to meet up after church but I got lost in the church building and by the time I found my car everyone else in my immediate family was gone. (Not sure how bc we drove together)
So I’m leaving the church in my car and someonfe asks (maybe on the phone) if I don’t want to set the gps first & I say no bc I think I can remember. There is an issue with my phone cord and I don’t remember how to get there so I pull inside a neighborhood to stop.
I pull up to a house and park and go up to the door but there is a lot of blood and it’s a murder scene. I go in the house anyway and end up as a suspect for the murder. There is a lot of blood and some small pumpkins. The police arrive and after a stern talking to and them telling me not to leave town until they get dna tests back they let me go. Thats all I remember of the dream.
Dream possibly induced by a full dose of Tylenol PM. I usually only take half.

Feels like I was back in Delaware where I grew up, an ample concrete driveway and lots of field. I was with family and friends and we had a variety of little mopeds and in turn I was checking them all and figuring how to get them running.
At one point I was on my favorite one and started driving with a little speed towards a dirt ramp maybe five feet tall. When I got to the summit I pulled up and must have gone fifty or a hundred feet up in the air like something out of a Blues Brothers movie, but I landed with a modest thud and wthout incident. At that point I realized that whatever we felt like doing would a) likely work and b) not hurt.
After that my friend Scott White pulled me to the side and asked me if he should his “Hair in fire” routine. I wasn’t sure exactly what that was, but said sure and figured that along with some exciting motoring we would see some dazzling low-tech pyrotechincs as well.

Dreamt I had face crabs. I don’t know what this actually means, but in my dream it was very vividly terrifying, these teeny little salmon-tinted translucent scorpionesque crustaceans emerging from suddenly-appearing ulcers on my face.
