My August 2015 dreams: Deadpool, the Queen of England, and more

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  dreams    Posted date:  September 2, 2015  |  No comment


I took several trips last month, which meant my dream time took a hit, because I tend not to dream when I’m not sleeping in my own bed on a regular schedule. So this monthly gathering of dreams is fairly slight.

Still, in August, I did dream of Deadpool, Megan Draper, the Queen of England, and more.

Check it out below.

AUGUST 2015

I dreamt that as my wife and I walked along a river in London, we saw two unaccompanied women walking toward us … and one was the Queen! Aug 31

I dreamt I owned a tin toy plane from World War II, and was nervously carrying it around in a pristine original box to auction houses. Aug 31

I dreamt that as we sped down the highway, my wife and son kept taking over for one another behind the steering wheel, which terrified me. Aug 31

I dreamt a Nebula banquet was about to begin, and we all entered the room while singing “Give My Regards to Broadway.” (I have no idea why.) Aug 31

I dreamt I visited the Museum of Jurassic Technology with Walter Jon Williams. Woke before we got through the front door though, darn it! Aug 31

I dreamt I looked out into our front yard and noticed burial plots there, and wondered what I’d need to do to get permission for more. Aug 29

I dreamt I went to a writers workshop at a friends house and discovered a dealers room right in the midst of it, making it hard to workshop. Aug 29

I dreamt a friend of mine dated one of Peter Pan’s Lost Boys, and was worried the relationship wouldn’t work out. I tried to cheer him up. Aug 29

I dreamt Johnny Depp won an Oscar for Superman, and I sat around with friends arguing at great length over whether he really deserved it. Aug 18

I dreamt that while in the cosplay which IRL will be revealed Wednesday at #Sasquan, I ran into Bob Silverberg, who was suitably shocked. Aug 17

Lost a dream because I can’t read the entirety of this scrawled middle-of-the-night note: TRUMP EDITOR TRY NOT TO [ILLEGIBLE] [ILLEGIBLE] Aug 16

I dreamt my wife called me to the backyard, where I discovered she’d installed a beautifully landscaped sunken pool … with a waterfall! Aug 16

I dreamt I starred in a long-running TV show, and we were shooting the final scene, which had me shutting the lights as I gazed at the set. Aug 14

I dreamt I was a mutant chased by other mutants, trying to lead them into narrow corridors because my powers worked best in confined spaces. Aug 14

I dreamt a new Superman TV show starred Superman himself, but filming kept getting interrupted whenever he was called away for an emergency. Aug 12

I dreamt I had my bank deliver suitcases filled with thousands of dollars in pennies, which I spread out as a carpet across the living room. Aug 12

I dreamt I ran a women’s shelter, then dreamt I was in a play about running a shelter, then shifted back to the first dream, confusing me. Aug 11

I dreamt my teeth fell out — just the bone, none of the fillings — and then all the metal bits fell out on their own. It did not alarm me. Aug 10

I dreamt I was with my Dad (six years dead in real life), explaining how the apps on his new iPhone worked. Not quite sure I was succeeding. Aug 10

I dreamt I was a zombie bodyguard talking to a new client. That is — I get hired by people who don’t have the skills to defend themselves. Aug 10

Up from a nap in which I dreamt I was being led to my execution. And as I approached my end, this is what I sang. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPav8_wETbY Aug 9

I dreamt I was in a restaurant with @BrianKeene, who told a lengthy shaggy dog story which I’ve completely forgotten now that I’m awake. Aug 9

I dreamt I dropped a bundle on a copy of Action #1 so I could mutilate it by cutting out a coupon, thus horrifying every comics fan alive. Aug 9

I dreamt we were packing for a move, and owned nothing but books. No furniture, no cookware, no clothing, no electronics — just books! Aug 9

I dreamt a lost Chaplin film, suppressed by the man himself, had been found. I was thrilled, and happily telling all my friends about it. Aug 8

I dreamt I was trying to reach a small town comics shop, but ended up at a donut shop instead. (Then my wife wanted to go to Aldi instead.) Aug 5

The air conditioning here at Del Boca Vista is so strong I dreamt I was trapped in a supermarket frozen food aisle, cold air assaulting me. Aug 5

I dreamt I bought a bag of pretzels cobranded by Bill Cosby and the Church of Scientology. Which seemed a weird product even in the dream. Aug 4

I dreamt I was in a foreign land and my translator was arrested because a logo on his shirt matched the logo of a movie the dictator hated. Aug 3

I dreamt a road was so filled with turkeys and chickens I couldn’t pass. Until I tried to take a photo, and then, of course, they dispersed. Aug 3

I dreamt I was fired by a former IRL boss from some new company I didn’t even know I worked at. As I left, Don Draper’s wife Megan cried. Aug 3

I dreamt I made cheesecake batter, poured it into a pan, and popped it in the oven. But when I pulled it out, it had turned into cornbread! Aug 2

I dreamt I shifted to an alternate universe in which EVERYONE was Deadpool — I was surrounded by fat, thin, young, old, etc. Deadpools! Aug 2

I dreamt I saw a few plants that seemed sad and potbound, so I freed them — and they instantly popped up, completely engulfing a building. Aug 2

I dreamt my old Bullpen pal Jim Salicrup had turned into a zombie and was coming after me. Only he was very polite — he kept apologizing! Aug 2
