Well, I've ended the first day of 2011 watching "Inception," and now I wonder if this is a dream...nope, the top is no longer spinning...This was a great movie, and it got me thinking about my own dreams. Have you ever had a dream so vivid or so crazy and illogical that it just sticks out like a sore thumb from all the rest?
Lately, when I remember my dreams, they aren't as weird as the dreams I had when I was a kid. My most recent dreams have actually been a little scary, and not things that I really want to remember. The dreams I remember from when I was a kid, stand out because of their randomness and wackiness, and I'd like to recount some of those here.
One of the main dreams I remember, came when I was probably 5 or 6 years old. I had just watched "Harry and the Hendersons" all by myself in the middle of the day. The dream began with me riding in a 15 passenger van with some people that I knew. We were having a jolly old time when all of the sudden, bigfoot ran out in front of the van. We all screamed as rammed right into him. The next second we were all outside lifting bigfoot up and putting him into the van with us.
Once we were all back in the van we drove off with bigfoot unconscious and lying across our laps, as if this were normal. We pulled into the True-Value hardware store parking lot, and went inside carrying the ape-man and placing him on one of the counters as if we were going to scan a barcode on him. Suddenly, the True-Value became a bigfoot research center and there was a guy examining bigfoot on the counter. The man looked up at all of us, and said, "This is bigfoot alright," and that's when I woke up.
Dreams are amazing things, because they are unique to each one of us. I consider them great tools that could help me come up with original story lines for comics...Not that I would make a story about taking bigfoot to True-Value...but I might.
I'll keep it short today, so Happy New Year, and I hope your dreams find you well.
