Bizarre Dreams
This dream took place last night. Probably one of the strangest I've ever had. Not really scary though, just odd. I'm not really sure what set it off, but the evening wasn't the best. Obviously I didn't really sleep too well - kept waking and tossing and turning (no surprise). Had a crappy dinner, some fried bologna and onions that I tossed in the garbage after a couple of bites and had a bowl of cereal instead. Later I took a hit of generic Nyquil an hour before going to bed. I did watch a pretty good Chinese gangster movie with Eric Tsiang and Daniel Wu. All of which probably had some bearing on the oddness of this dream. I'm not putting the description in any kind of logical order, just basically what I remember of it:
Friend brought me to theater. He had daughter with no bones in a bag. Really looked gross in the bag, but I tried to hold her up and talking with her without her collapsing, somewhat attractive when you could keep her upright and not collapsed. Had to squeeze her shoulders so her head would expand enough to see her eyes. multiplex Theater for kids, with sci fi show. One theater with lots of tables with kids eating and raising a ruckus. Multiple snack areas like a food court. One place with soft candy all over the floor. Old fashioned pinball machines in another room, mostly not working. Trying to buy ice cream in odd shapes from vending machine, huge black morel mushroom looking ice cream on cones, but with not enough real coins, had strange shaped coins, US coins that were thick and shaped liked flattened hearts and ovals. Lots of tattooed people with no shirts. Dry dusty desert-like room where a murder (my friend did the murder?) took place the murdered person's partner was setup for a suicide by choice with some weird metallic contraption to make it possible. Worried about police finding out who did the murder, but saw lots of people cutting their hair from their arms to complicate forensics issue. Watching bits of movies in some of the theaters.
I'm finding that bits of this dream keep coming back to me as the day goes on, so I'll add the extra bits as I think of them.
