Dreamed Of Getting Shot

Have you ever dreamed of getting shot? Last night I had a dream in which I and my boss were near a collection of homes. I can’t describe the homes, I just know they were homes. We walked out of the building we were currently in towards a group of people. These people were discussing the fear that the “other group” was planning an attack on us quite soon.

My boss and I decided we would stay with this group and defend whatever it was they were defending. We asked for weapons and they handed us these gun-looking things. They then tossed us a bag of the bullets. I looked inside and these things looked like a mix between bbs and authentic bullets. So I asked, “If we get hit with these, are they going to tear us up?” One of them replied, “Well yeah. I mean, we are serious about this.”

My boss and I shared a look and we decided to make our escape. As they were formulating their plan, we casually walked back to the house we originated from, found a vehicle and drove off.

Then I woke up.

Vacation Cigars

I dreamed last night that I was on a vacation with my extended family in some beach house. During the late night hours, while everyone else was sleeping, I pulled out this nice cigar and began puffing away. It actually tasted good. For some reason I wasn’t catching any of that smoke taste or smell.

Then I heard footsteps coming from deep inside the house and quickly made to put out the cigar and hide the rest of them. I don’t believe I was successful. However, I cannot be positive because I woke up before the person came into view.

Bad Church & The Fraud

I had another two dreams last night. This is becoming a ritual: where I only remember two dreams.

The first dealt with a church service I attended. It seems like it wasn’t in a church building but in some conference room. And instead of your typical service, there were three musical groups (bands) who performed. For some reason I was very angry at the pastor for having these three groups perform instead of having a normal church service. I remember being all huffy and out of breath because I was so upset. I ended up storming out of the room.

The second dream involved me helping set up a room for some speaker. It was very vague. He must have been some kind of master Q & A guy who gave great answers to life’s questions. I remember setting up two long tables so it looked like an “L” on the main floor of the room. While we were waiting for the event to begin, I was sitting by this guy and decided to ask him a few questions of my own. I don’t remember what my first question was, but he took out this thick book and said, “Well let me look up the answer to that and then I’ll be able to put it in your context.” I was baffled! This guy had a book that gave him the answers to, what seemed to be, any question. His trick was just to look up the generic answer and contextualize it.

Two dreams that seem to have no connection whatsoever but which happened in the same night.

Apartments & Air Force One

I had two dreams last night.

In the first one, I was with a bunch of people from my church. We were in some apartment building – or maybe it was just one big suite. In either case, everything was open, there weren’t any doors to be closed. I don’t remember what we were doing in this building, I just remember being there with a lot of people and we couldn’t close any doors.

My second dream had to do with my family sitting around some canyon-looking place. The mountains were very steep and dangerous looking. All of a sudden I see the Air Force One jet flying around the mountains. It’s flying very low and virtually hugging the rocks as it made the turns. I pointed it out to my dad and we watched it do a barrel roll around a final corner and disappear. My only thought was it must have been trying to avoid something. But it was surreal to see it so low to the ground and flying like a fighter jet.

Dream Last Night

Last night I had a dream about a certain process in getting a new job. For the past three or four weeks, maybe longer, I have been contemplating changing my place of employment. It’s not really because I don’t enjoy what I’m doing now; I can’t really put my finger on the “why”.

But back to this dream – I make contact with the person in charge of hiring and he tells me about having to do some background checks and then a medical check. This all seems reasonable right? He proceeds to inform me about my airline ticket and where I can rent a car.

And I stop him and ask, “airline ticket, rent-a-car? Where am I going?” He tells me, “Atlanta”. Suddenly I’m all nervous and not exactly sure I want to go through with this process. Nobody said anything about having to fly to Atlanta (I hate to fly). So my heart beat is racing and this guy’s talking all fast and everything. I don’t know what to do.

Then I wake up.

I’m not an interpreter of dreams. As far as I’m concerned, this particular dream was a result of my thinking about the possibilities of starting a new job. But like most dreams that I remember, it gave me some nice moments of reflection. Maybe I’ll write up more of the dreams that I have. Who doesn’t enjoy dreams?
