weird dreams? let me tell you....

i had a string of weird dreams last night, and i just love telling people about them. a lot of the time i dream movies (stories where i don't figure in at all)--most of those are pretty freaky. at my old job, everyone was always ready to hear any of my dreams. i've turned a couple into actual short stories, but i fear i'm beginning to forget the rest. i've decided to start recording them on here so that i can share them with others and remember them at the same time.

i'll start with one of the ones from last night--there's not much to it and it's especially weird. i can't remember how it was connected--or even if it was--to the rest of my dreams. somehow there was a baby that was abandoned by his parents. in order to save him, a priest and some nuns had sent him to live all by himself on a star. he probably wouldn't be able to survive (there was nothing for him to eat, for instance), but it was a better chance than he had on earth (i'm not sure why). this mean kid had followed him to the star, but we weren't sure if he had hurt the baby or not. then the baby's dad showed up, wanting his son. we (i'm not sure how i was involved in all of this, but i was there) all had to go to the star to look for him, but we couldn't find him. the mean kid had come too, and it turned out he loved the baby and had tried to help him. he thought the priest had done something with the baby so he pulled out these snakes and threatened to let them go if the priest didn't tell us where the baby was. the priest didn't know; he said the boy was the last one to see the baby. the boy let the snakes go, and, of course, they attacked me, the innocent by-stander. then, while i was trying to pull the snakes off me, the boy remembered what he had done with the baby. it turned out the star was actually a zip-lock bag of frozen food, and the boy had opened it and let the baby inside so he could eat the french fries.

i woke up, relieved that the baby was okay.

told ya' they were weird....

more to come....

until...
