Dream Interpretation
Hello All,
I thought of something that could turn out to be fun or possibly scary. I'm on a medication for which one side effect is "vivid dreams". People report scary dreams but I've probably only had about 2 in 2 years, otherwise they are vivid dreams that I can usually recall detail when I wake up.
Here's the current dream if you'd like to try your hand at interpretation.
I'm in a town in North Jersey that is familiar to me. We'll call it CG. So I am walking the streets in CG and meet this older couple who are doing the same. They ask me how to get out of CG. I tell them that I'm about to leave and they can go with me. The way to go is walk down to Las Vegas (street) go right and that leads out to the highway where there are buses and stores, a strip mall, that sort of thing.
So we start walking north and we can't find Las Vegas. We choose another street to go right on only it leads to a sort of dirt cliff thing. I tell them I don't have my phone to call UBER and I don't have my purse either. The man says he has his phone but we decide to jump off the cliff together and land gently on a dirt road (like they do in HP films they slow up just before they hit the ground--I forget the spell). We start walking East to the highway only we somehow end up in the city which I recognize as Manhattan.
In Manhattan we're in some sort of warehouse with large windows and it's sort of as if it's on a dock. I look out the window and I tell them I can't see the highway from there and I can't see the stores. The woman says she's going to go ask her doctor who happens to have an office in the warehouse. She comes out and I forgot what she said to me. I tell her I want to talk to her doctor.
So I go in there and ask "Doctor, if you don't mind my asking are we anywhere near CG?" and he tells me "Yes, it's right over there" and points out the huge warehouse window at it. And he says "I don't mind telling you that I know firsthand that CG is a great place to live and raise families".
And I say, "I can't believe it's right there. I don't even know how we got across the river".
So I go back to the lady and ask her, "Ma'am may I ask what your name is?" and she tells me "My name is Page". To which I reply, "That's such a pretty name wasn't there an old timey actress named Dorothy Page?" And she said yes there was.
Then we decide to dance together a few steps of the Jitterbug.
Then I wake up.

Re: Dream Interpretation
Now freaking get this.
I just had to modify the end of the above post because I recalled incorrectly the epilogue and had to check myself on that by checking my phone searches.
The first thing I did when I woke up was grab my phone and search for Dorothy Page.
She's real.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Page_(actress)
In reading over her bio, I have NO idea where I came up with her name. I don't see any "hits" at all in the entry.
Dorothy Page, dubbed "The Singing Cowgirl", born Dorothy Lillian Stofflett[1] in Northampton, Pennsylvania (March 4, 1904 – March 26, 1961), was a B-movie actress during the 1930s.
Except for one weird thing: She had the same birthday as I do.

Re: Dream Interpretation
Ambien dreaming opened a portal to a different dimension where you met your biological grandmother from a different lifetime who also happened to be your best friend in another different lifetime sometime in the 1930s. You died in that lifetime from complications from a broken heart, and your doctor lover who left you for an heiress to a manufactured window tycoon met you in this dimension to let you know it's ok to let go of the pain that has been following across lives that causes you to want to control everything and just let go. This will not be accomplished in this life but possibly the next.

Wow, and here with no responses when last I looked I thought no one cared if I was having drug induced psychotic dreams wherein I accessed the previously unknown dead. Thanks for the interpretation.
Maybe I am the reincarnation of the Singing Cowgirl.

It wasn't Ambien.
;-)

Re: Dream Interpretation
Here's another meds induced vivid dream that I just thought of. This won't have much detail because it was two nights ago. This actually ends up being board and Mormonism related. Not joking.
Shulem wanted to adopt children but the church wouldn't let him because he is gay so I adopted the children instead. There were about 5-7 young children all of them female dressed in summer sundresses and barefoot, happily skipping around and playing. Somehow we ended up at a public gathering outdoors. Like a street fair.
When (I'm going to have to edit this as per board rules) suddenly a huge hot air balloon passed over the crowd and in an instant, I knew Shulem was riding inside of it.
The balloon was rectangular shaped and it had the words (here's the edit):
Pay L** A** written on it and it was the same exact design and color of a Frito's package. I instantly recognized it as Shulem's f-you to the church and applauded.
Note: I haven't eaten or purchased Frito's in probably two years and neither has anyone I've interacted with in real life.

Re: Dream Interpretation
Halcion is another one of those incredible medications that make for vivid dreams. Want to dream in technicolor? No problem with Halcion. Want to emulate Tom Clancy-like twists and turns in your dreams? You got it, Halcion!

I dream in color. Not on Halcion.

(Your dream reminds me of Steve Martin's movie, LA Story, for some reason. Ever see that?)

Re: Dream Interpretation
Lemmie! I do know too much.
That said, I think I deserve a gold medal for coming up with that imagery in my sleep. Think about it.
Fritos are made by Frito Lay. Which is how I pronounce one word of that phrase that I'm not allowed to post.
So...I took that phrase and put in on a Fritos bag, I made the Fritos bag into a hot air balloon, I put Shulem IN the hot air balloon and I captured the essence of his board persona as well and in the context of the dream!
You know what that means right?
I'm a creative genius. You all better watch out because if I can do that in my sleep, god only knows what I'm capable of when I'm awake!

p.s. Not familiar with that movie. I'll check it out.
