I dreamt I was being given a tour of a school, and was chastised by my guide for walking across a spot where a shooting had taken place. Nov 21

I dreamt that while wandering a city at night, I turned onto a street scattered with glowing necklaces. I wanted to gather and return them. Nov 21

I dreamt I acted as chaperone at a Prom and stopped a kid from getting bullied. But then the bully accused me of being a time traveler! Nov 20

I dreamt I was an old lady who discovered her young caretakers were planning to kill her, so hid a Bowie knife under my shirt. Nov 18

I dreamt I lived in a small town, and was planning with others in secret to take down surveillance tech to prevent a coming dictatorship. Nov 16

I dreamt I was about to dine at @NextRestaurant, and as I sat at the empty table, trying to remember the menu I was there for woke me up. Nov 16

I dreamt I was in an auditorium about to watch the Hugo Awards, surprised as thousands of us were handed plates of homemade Italian food. Nov 16

I dreamt I wandered a museum with @neilhimself, discussing in depth paintings we passed, but remember none of them, so can’t ID the museum. Nov 15

I dreamt @rickbowes led us all on a walking tour, ending at MacDougal and Bleeker Streets, which he declared “the best corner in NYC.” Nov 16

I dreamt I had Lost‘s John Locke pinned down with a rifle , but as he got closer, I was unable to shoot, so he was able to wrest it from me. Nov 12

I dreamt I came downstairs into the kitchen and discovered a ball of dough on the counter. So I whipped up an apple pie, of course! Nov 11

I love you all here at #wfc40, but last night I dreamt I was home and when my wife returned from a trip I squealed her name with happiness. Nov 9

I dreamt my neighbor was Archie Bunker, who grew upset when my wife and I hugged in front of his kids, as if they shouldn’t see such things. Nov 2

I dreamt I wandered my backyard and kept sinking, not in a quicksand kind of way, but as if all the land had been replaced with foam. Nov 2
