Whenever I get to feeling maybe I shouldn’t bother continuing to share my dreams over on Twitter, that no one could possible care about them, someone surprises me by … well … caring. I’m always amazed when someone asks, “Is anything wrong? You haven’t posted many dreams lately!”

So for them, if not for you, I’ve gathered my dreams tweets from April below, which feature guest appearances by Nichelle Nichols, Vincent D’Onofrio, Rick Moranis, David Letterman and more.

And so … I dream on.

April 2016


I dreamt I tried to show @mojaveb a jacket I’d bought—it was Michael Jackson’s from Thriller—but it kept turning into the wrong one! Apr 30


I dreamt I was at David Letterman’s house, ignoring all of his no-so-subtle hints I should leave. Instead, I kept trying to make him laugh. Apr 30

I dreamt I worked with Don Draper, who wanted me to head out to a party. But I insisted I’d rather be home with my wife. (He was not happy.) Apr 30


I dreamt I wandered a romance convention trying to find my wife … and instead found Nichelle Nichols! Never found my wife, though. Apr 29


I dreamt I was President Obama, in a theater introducing a special performance of Hamilton to an appreciative kids-only audience. Apr 28


I dreamt I visited Marie Severin’s mausoleum with my parents—which is doubly strange, because IRL she’s still around while they’re not! Apr 28


Lost a dream because all I can read of my night note is “ME & [TWO ILLEGIBLE WORDS] ALIEN INVASION.” So my memory catalyst has failed me! Apr 24


I dreamt I wandered with a toddler through an obstacle-filled city, and as I went over and around them, he went under and through. A lesson? Apr 24


There is no dream so sad as the one in which you buy a pie, begin to eat that pie, and from which you wake to discover—THERE IS NO PIE. Apr 21


I dreamt I was on a flight home from Moscow, but for some reason we were being forbidden to enter U.S. airspace, and so had to turn back. Apr 19


I dreamt I was big, bald Vincent D’Onofrio—only not the Kingpin in Daredevil, but Daddy Warbucks in Little Orphan Annie. And doing good! Apr 18


I dreamt I opened my freezer to discover it filled with ice cream, pie, and grilled cheese sandwiches—but woke before I got to eat any! Apr 18


I dreamt I owned a huge, peaceful dog who made me happy … surprising, as I have no interest in owning a pet. Well, except for a capybara. Apr 18


I dreamt I worked in the White House, and President Obama needed me to deliver an unsliced loaf of bread to Joe Biden IMMEDIATELY. So I ran! Apr 17


I dreamt Rick Moranis and I flagged down a limo and drove around NYC pranking people. Can’t remember the pranks now that I’m awake though! Apr 16


I dreamt I went to an art gallery where I mistook all of the art for furniture, and the artist wasn’t happy each time I tried to sit down. Apr 16

I dreamt I gave a eulogy for Will Ferrell, who couldn’t make it. He didn’t like my reading, so I said I’d kill someone so I could try again. Apr 16


I dreamt a family of beavers appeared outside—beavers as big as humans! And so aware of our presence they posed and smiled for photos. Apr 15


I dreamt I was throwing a party, someone sent a huge and delicious-looking deli platter, and just as I was about to crack it open—I woke! Apr 15


I dreamt I stood by a river when a wild man threw in a stone and told me that if I touched it I would live forever. So I dove in and did so. Apr 14

I dreamt Phil Rachelson gave a talk on coloring, and in the audience we Bullpenners wore Marvel t-Shirts — but Roger Slifer wore a DC one! Apr 14

I dreamt I was hired to play piano at a country club—not inside, but out in the parking lot to entertain guests as they left their cars. Apr 13


I dreamt I decided to heat tomato soup by pouring it into a toaster. Luckily, I woke before discovering the results of this stupid idea. Apr 7


I dreamt I was a small woman married to a large, abusive man, and desperately trying to avoid setting him off. Not a pleasant dream. Apr 7

I dreamt I wandered Worldcon, where the freebie table was filled with posters advertising the Flash TV show—drawn by Carmine Infantino! Apr 6


I dreamt I dodged zombies in an abandoned apartment building, but as I was about I escape I saw humans outside, and was more afraid of THEM. Apr 6


I dreamt I was writing captions for a huge book on the history of SF, struggling to make them understood by both a general and fan audience. Apr 4


I dreamt @dreamoforgonon did paintings of roadkill frogs, each representing a lost loved one. And I said: “Those are people who died, died.” Apr 3


I dreamt I was printing unapproved literature in my basement, so the government barged in, smashed my presses, and seized all my pamphlets. Apr 2
