I Dream Oddly

By: Mr. Wilson on July 6, 2011
The following has nothing to do with Lincoln... I dream a lot. I always have. Some nights I don't have any dreams (or at least none that I remember), but most nights are filled with dreams. I've had some weird ones over the past two nights: I dreamt I was tapped to teach Sunday school alongside a girl -- well, woman now -- I haven't seen in 15 years. I dreamt I watched an incoming storm with my boys and we didn't seem particularly concerned about the nearby tornado. I dreamt Javier Colon got fourth place on American Idol. I dreamt I was floating in the flooded Missouri River and I had a heck of a time getting out. The water tasted of salt and chemicals. I dreamt I was umpiring baseball again. And then my favorite. This one happened last night. I dreamt that I was running through a multi-building elementary school trying to keep Robbie safe from a semi-tame / semi-hungry tyrannosaurus rex that was following close behind. Even though some of them are stressful, in general I love that I dream so much. I never know what I'm going to get when I close my eyes. OK amateur dream analysts, what does this collection of dream summaries say about my psyche? What have you dreamt lately? (Aside: My spellchecker is angry about me spelling it "dreamt" instead of "dreamed". I prefer the pronunciation "dremt" rather than "dreemed" in this context, hence the spelling.)

I have no other comment except to say…I also like the sound of “drempt” over “dreamed.” Spell check it just a bunch of rules…
