I just took a Nap of Ridiculousness (i.e. now I won't be able to fall asleep tonight) and I had dreams about baking pies the whole time.

deeeliciousss.

I think I had the geekiest dream in the world.
I dreamt that somehow I was ripped out of the present and, along with the stuff that I would have chosen to pack had I been given the chance, was relocated to the USS Voyager. I was given quarters, and there was a list of rules in there about the Ferengi (don't trade or otherwise interact with the Ferengi; in case of Ferengi invasion, keep all valuables out of sight; all Voyager personnel will be given a blue "insta-death" pill in case of being placed in a Ferengi death camp...). My quarters had a telephone in them, but it functioned as a com, so I think they were trying to make me feel more at home by bringing in "ancient" technology, but they didn't quite know what to do with it. So over the phone/com, I got a message that B'Elanna wanted to meet me in the morning at 0700, because she had heard about my training in "ancient Earth martial arts" and she thought I might enjoy training with her. So the next morning, we taught each other some things, and agreed to train together every day: I'd teach her "anicent Earth martial arts" and she'd teach me Klingon combat, as well as how to use all the on-board weapons, even the bat'leth (yay!).
So then I ran into Janeway and talked to her about hopefully becoming a crew member in the future, because I felt bad about being a drain on already sparse resources, without having anything valuable to contribute. She said we'd talk about it later. And at some point I ran into the Doctor, and told him that I was "sorry but I had to take a cup out of the isometrics bay" and he said that was quite alright. I don't really understand that part of the dream, yet I remember it so clearly.
At one point, I went to the holodeck and "read" a holonovel in which I was in a Ferengi death camp. It was really campy, like, the "torture" was taunts from the Ferengi, and stuff like that. But some girl that was doing it with me couldn't handle it and passed out from the stress, and I and a couple of the holographic characters carried her to the sick bay, but even though the holographic characters somehow managed to get out of the holodeck, once they tried to enter the sick bay, they dissipated and as I couldn't hold the girl up on my own, she fell to the floor.
There was more to the dream that I can't quite remember well enough to tell.
And it was one of those dreams where I was waking up, and then falling back asleep to continue the dream but at a different time and place. I even got up from bed and did something at one point during the night, came back to bed, and continued the dream. I have been watching two episodes of TNG and two of Voyager each weekday as I do chores around the house... Maybe that has something to do with it.

I had a pretty silly dream last night. I was at my house back home, and I saw a UPS van pull into our driveway. Except for some reason, our driveway had an almost vertical incline before it leveled out. Seriously, the slope was like... 10 over 1 and it was about fifty feet across the slope before you got to the top. So I see the UPS van try to pathetically scale this ridiculous slope, and I leave the house and run down to meet him so he doesn't have to. The guy gets out of his van from the wrong side (I think it might have had a door in my dream) and hands me this tiny little itty bitty package about the size of a credit card, but in a miniature manila envelope. Now, he got out of his van when it was about a half of the way up the hill, and he just let it roll backward into our ditch. I open the package and it's a Wal*Mart shopper's card that dream me apparently filled out information for. Except it was kinda purple and overloaded with writing instead of just having a name and number and such like most cards these days.

Had a dream the night before last that I ran for president. I actually one the Rep nomination and everything despite my being a woman, a pagan and a lesbian - and the fact I think abortion should be regulated by the state.

I got Billy Dee Williams to be my political advisor and Oprah let me use her dressing room during the rep debate.

Not long after I won the rep nomination, I got to go to Iraq and visit Saddam who was being held captive by vampires and Azazeal from Hex.

Good times.

I had this dream the hand with the bowl fell off the Statue of Liberty (there is no such hand on the statue, and I knew it at the time), and I and some others had to figure out how to get it back on. For some reason, it randomly turned into this post-apocalyptic world with weird seven-legged insects and other mutations, threats of aliens (none ever showed up), and we were all in a shopping mall, which coincidentally contained the Statue of Liberty.

I blame Parasite Eve and Deus Ex. I'm not sure where the billionaire lawyer came from.

If only reality were that awesome...

It was a pretty awesome dream. Then I had to wake up and take the car in for an oil change. "Express Lube" took two hours.

I rather wish life was more exciting.

I dreamt I was Agent Scully from the X-Files. Mulder got turned into a zombie and was trying to kill me and I was trying to use my feminine wiles to get him back to normal.

Can you seduce someone out of zombiehood?

I didn’t have time to find out - mosquitoes woke me up.

I had a dream that I was sitting at a table in a restaurant with a bunch of my friends, and everything was going along nicely, until I look up and see that I'm sitting RIGHT underneath this spider web with giant hairy black spiders crawling all over it. I was miffed that my friends did not have the courtesy to point it out to me that I had been sitting under this spider web for all of dinner.

Did you wake up screaming? I would have. Spider dreams are the only thing worse than zombie dreams.

I had two spiders in my shower this morning, and couldn't decide whether or not to kill them since doing so would be giving in to my fears, but I didn't really want them there. In the end, I left them alive and tried to drown them.

Why should I be even annoyed or slightly disturbed by the presence of something small enough to fit three on a fingernail? Small critters are creepy.

[Emu]

it was weird - normally that kind of thing would really freak me out, but in the dream, it was more like, "oh, how embarrassing, I sat in the chair under the spider web! why did nobody tell me?"

I don’t know but I fraking hate it. Its like the one debilitating fear I have (other than zombies). Sometimes I think if I wasn’t afraid of spiders I could take over the world - but they're like my kryptonite. Not tarantulas though. Well... most tarantulas are ok - I even have one. But they’re not like regular spiders.

I think its the shape. Something about the two segments of unequal proportion and the eight legs... scurrying and clicking on the floor at incomprehensible speeds.

*smy skin is crawling*.

Ok, that’s enough of that for now.

So it's just spiders? I had a bee in my house this afternoon the size of a cat. Assuming cats are three inches long, anyway. It was so big I was wondering if I hallucinated it, because I've never seen one half that size. I didn't get close enough to be sure if it was a bee or a wasp, since it looked large enough to bite and possibly talk.

I had a horrible sleep last night.

I was at some large college that spanned an entire town and constantly running away and hiding from some workers who tortured students for not following set routines.

Someone I met at another part away from the torturers was showing me to a bunch of what they call academic people who had a straight grin on their face in their bedrooms.

Then a hint that I shouldn't see the most hard working person. I asked why and they said this person worked in a dark room. I insisted and as we went down the corridor to another door the entire passage was dark with the windows covered but they turned the lights on. Onto the right there were steps with a large long double door. That point I started to get worried. As I opened this door there was a small square size passage with three of the same large long double sized doors, left, center and right but m]no lights apart from outside of the room.

I opened the left door. A bathroom that was dark.
I opened the center door which was a small room with a bed and no light.
I opened the right door and saw someone working in the dark on a desk.

This person jumped out with a high pitched screaming noise and started attacking me with finger nails on my face. I was so frightened. There was a white thing surrounding the side of the face like rotten or infected skin. I held on to the sides of the body and eventually threw this person down the stairs when I got control below the door in the light. I could see that this person was very weak and sick with pale skin after being knocked unconscious from being pushed down the stairs.

Next part of the dream was involving regrettable cap breaking (once it happens it is for life) which was unpleasant.
