silver spoons, sex ed, and dead horses

My dreams for the past three nights have been really weird, involved, convoluted and hard to explain. and they've starred characters from both "Silver Spoons" AND "Diff'rent Strokes". Here are some of the highlights:

Me in a hospital room, holding a 2 year old Gary Coleman in my lap. some old guy was in the hospital bed. Gary was previously running around being super A.D.H.D and hyperactive, but instead of getting mad, I felt very loving and patient towards him realizing he probably needed some nutritious food, and picked him up to nurture and soothe him and help him be still. He had a blue tootsie roll pop in his mouth. Then the director of a psychic institute showed up and told me that little Gary had been stealing all the free tootsie roll pops from the hospital reception desks, and they had to hide the rest of them away. I was relieved that she wasn't mad at me. Then my dad showed up and I was afraid my dad would realize that the little toddler i was holding looked just like Gary Coleman and then catch on that something weird was going on, because he's actually in his 30's or something now, and not two years old!



Then I went outside the hospital and remembered I could fly! I started flying through the streets, through and past people who were walking, only I accidentally sort of knocked this lady over a bit. She got really mad and I tried to say sorry to her but she kept turning her heads sideways and refusing to look at me so I could apologize. finally i got frustrated and said, "Come on lady, just let it go!"

The next day I dreamed so much it was hard to keep track. At one point my cat Serena had died! I felt terrible and cried! At another point joey was on the phone with someone and i was trying to tell him that all these horses in our yard had died! it was so weird and sad, although the horses were actually one creature, all connected like a totem pole with many horse heads. Suddenly though, they were all alive!



Also, my boss for some crazy reason had a huge octagon-shaped RV, like HUGE! and shaped like an OCTAGON! and he had ordered some IOWA images/window coverings to be put around all the RV windows, so that when you looked out the windows it was like you were seeing IOWA even though you were in the middle of a forest in California.

Then there were scary pirate guys chasing me, and me hiding under a blanket in the closet from them. i always do that in dreams, I hide from my antagonists by covering myself up with a blanket or some clothes i find in a closet, and as I'm wrapping myself up I can feel that they will probably be able to tell I'm in here! and its a really scary vulnerable anxious feeling.



Finally, speaking of being under blankets, I dreamed that RICKY SCHROEDER, aka THE RICKER from the show "Silver Spoons", and I were under some blankets making out or whatever ( i was a young teenager in the dream and so was he) when all of a sudden EDWARD STRATTON the III, his father on the show, comes in and we get in big trouble! I think that we can just put our clothes on really fast but stay in the bed and we can get out of trouble, but he sees right through it and gives us a very paternal speech. He says, "oh this is hard, but I see I'm going to have to give you the talk about the Birds and the Bees..." then he opens up a cupboard with sex ed diagrams inside of it!



Also, at one point in the dream I thought I had to move out of my house, and wondered how I could do that when I had just painted my room. I also dreamed about that Mormon family I used to babysit for, again. Hmmm!

p.s. and i dreamed i finally got some peanut butter (see previous post). and i was happily eating it!
