My April 2014 dreams: Ron Howard, Ronald D. Moore … and more

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  dreams    Posted date:  May 5, 2014  |  No comment


We’re already a week into May, so it’s that time again!

Here are all of the dreams I tweeted about last month, gathered in one place to see whether they make more sense en masse than one at a time.

During April, I dreamt of Ronald D. Moore, Stephen Colbert, Ron Howard, Judy Garland, Robert Redford, Hitler, and more. And so …

April 2014

I dreamt I was taking part in a reality TV show set in the 1800s, and the lack of hot showers was getting to me. I tried to bribe the crew! Apr 30

I dreamt I was on a panel with @EllenDatlow, @neilhimself and two others when we suddenly all pulled out instruments and broke into song. Apr 30

I dreamt I stumbled upon Adam-Troy and Judi Castro at 4:00 a.m., and only after she hugged me did I realize I was wandering in my pajamas. Apr 29

Actual dream dialogue with @haszombiesinit. ME: Let’s go for pineapple buns. HER: I’m allergic to fish and potatoes. ME: Not even rutabagas? Apr 29

I dreamt I gossiped with others by the closed doors of a ballroom waiting for the Stokers to begin. And the floor was littered with comics! Apr 29

I dreamt @IreneVartanoff were considering a visit to a Star Wars-themed amusement. Oddly, the brochures were filled with Peanuts characters. Apr 28

I dreamt I handed my wife a complex, multi-page legal document delineating who would get control of my DNA after my death. (But why?) Apr 28

I dreamt I met Lake Bell while walking up a crowded stairway. We bonded over unicorns, so she visited, met my friends. We ran though snow. Apr 28

I’ve lost one of my dreams because this middle-of-the-night note no longer acts as a catalyst: SYFY JELLY BEANS / CONFUSED WOMAN / NIGHT Apr 27

I dreamt I was arrested at a protest and told to “wait here” by a cop. Then I was forgotten, and after hours wondered if I could just leave. Apr 27

I dreamt I was a contestant on a game show hosted by Ed McMahon and snuck off during filming while the camera wasn’t on me, then snuck back. Apr 27

I dreamt Connie Hirsch and I left a con for a soup-only joint where we bought dozens of mugs of soup to bring back for our friends. Apr 26

I dreamt I was with Ron Howard when he accepted a Best Picture Oscar by pulling out a ukulele and singing and strumming his speech. Apr 26

I dreamt that while on a road trip, I stopped at a Star Wars store. The owner thought I was too tired to continue, and confiscated my phone. Apr 26

I dreamt I spotted a mobbed Robert Redford, and he perked up when I mentioned my name, since he’d worked with my second cousin Herb Edelman. Apr 25

I dreamt traffic stopped on the highway, and when I got out to look, the cars vanished — replaced by an endless string of Spidey costumes! Apr 24

I dreamt I wandered London in the rain — and EVERY business I passed was a fish and chips shop. They were endless! There was nothing else! Apr 24

I seem to have lost one of my dreams because I no longer know the meaning of this middle-of-the-night note: N OATMEAL SUPPORT FOOTBALL. Apr 23

I dreamt @saladinahmed had grown up in Brooklyn, and created decade-by-decade maps reflecting the borough’s changing ethnic demographics. Apr 22

I dreamt a friend agreed to lend me his car, but it was only the size of a toy! I figured out clicking the key fob made it expand, though. Apr 22

I dreamt I tried to slaughter a cow by firing a rifle through the walls of a hotel room containing a herd figuring I’d surely hit SOMETHING. Apr 21

I dreamt I was the assistant to a Nazi scientist, and when Hitler left a message and I forgot to tell the guy he’d called, I felt his wrath. Apr 19

I dreamt I was a wrestler wrestling another wrestler on The Colbert Show because it was ending. Weird, but it made sense within the dream. Apr 19

I dreamt I was part of an ancient superpowered family that behaved like spoiled gods. I hated them, and used my own powers mostly to hide. Apr 19

I dreamt I was about to have a vasectomy, and did not trust the doctor AT ALL — because he was the guy who played Alby Grant in Big Love. Apr 16

I dreamt I was sharing a hotel room with Bill O’Reilly, and no sleep occurred because we argued all night over our political differences. Apr 16

I dreamt I was making cupcakes with another competitor on a TV cooking show, and I complained about “reality” shows the entire time. Apr 15

I dreamt I was Judy Garland, storming off to confront Clark Gable, only I couldn’t get her/my tiny shoes on because my feet were me-sized. Apr 15

I dreamt a riderless horse galloped by — riderless save for a statue of a person — and as it passed me, the replica fell at my feet. Apr 14

I dreamt an Italian woman needed help with some English words in a magazine, but when she showed it to me, I couldn’t read them. Of course! Apr 14

I dreamt Victor Garber and I were scammers, and after we were recorded by an investigator, I threatened to kill him, but woke before we did. Apr 13

I dreamt I tried to pull a guy out of the way of an oncoming train, wasn’t fast enough, and ended up holding only the back half of his body. Apr 12

I dreamt I wandered cobblestone streets with Stephen Colbert, and slowly began to realize that somehow we were no longer in this century. Apr 12

I dreamt I was at a yard sale and bought a package of raw chicken breasts left out in the sun. These’ll be fine to cook and eat, I thought. Apr 12

I dreamt I was traveling through Mexico with my dad Bryan Cranston (!) when Mom disappeared at a rest stop. I tried to contact the police. Apr 11

I dreamt I was about to head out when I found several pages of handwritten first draft I’d forgotten and so rushed to transcribe it instead. Apr 8

I dreamt it was either way late or way early, and we couldn’t find an all-night restaurant. Luckily, Jim Minz arrived and led us to one!Apr 8

I dreamt a concert promoter decided he’d made enough profit, and handed each audience member three bucks on the way in, one on the way out. Apr 8

I dreamt @Nalo_Hopkinson and I were about to be roommates, and so started culling my book collection. But she said don’t, there’ll be room. Apr 8
