Dream of gnomes being killed by trees / greasy dishes / silver things
I had a weird dream which started out with Eric and me driving to Abbotsford to see new friends of ours. On the way there, we saw a great big blue chasm of water that we'd either have to jump across or take a boat to traverse. Not surprisingly, we debated jumping for a while until I decided that we should really take the boat. When we were across, we continued on our way until we were distracted by a very green field. We drove the car almost into the meadow, got out, and then conversed with the woodland creatures. Everything seemed okay, but there was an undercurrent of tension... we didn't know about it until we saw many trees coming down on the gnomes, crushing their heads! Seems they were trying to warn us, but the trees didn't like that much!
A ladybug (far away from the trees) warned us that the creatures we were talking to would go back to my mother and relay all the information to her! Since we didn't want that to happen, we excused ourselves and calmly went back into the car. We then drove across a time portal, which suddenly teleported us INSIDE my old house on Rosehill. Seems that there were a LOT of greasy dishes in the sink, complete with a lot of yucky brown water. (it was brown because of the dirt, not turbidity problems! :P) Kevin and his brother were over, and my sister had also brought a bunch of friends to the house.
My dad came in while Eric and I were still trying to adjust ourselves to our new surroundings. I was looking at the white stove and the ice blue time display, then Dad decided to berate everyone for not cleaning the floor properly, since it was still brown, and black grease could be seen in spots. After that, he left - Kevin and his brother promptly dropped a lot of silver hooks on the floor. I scolded them in turn, but didn't make anyone pick things up. They knew I was just taking it out on them, and were okay with it. We were called to go downstairs - Eric's mom Veronica had come by with her dogs at the front door. She showed them to us, and wanted to go into the house - not with the dogs, you don't! After that, the dream just ended when I woke up. Not sure why I had it in the first place...
Coincidentally enough, my Trivia Today newsletter today is about dreams:
Adults dream off and on, for a total of about an hour and half to three hours every night. The average person has about 1,460 dreams a year.
Scientists suggest that the dreams of fetuses are mostly composed of sound and touch sensations, given the lack of visual stimuli in the womb.
Elias Howe (1819-1867) said one inspiration for his invention of the sewing machine came from a nightmare he had about being attacked by cannibals bearing spears that looked like the needle he then designed.
Falling dreams typically occur at the beginning of the night, in Stage I sleep. These dreams are often accompanied by muscle spasms, called myoclonic jerks, and are common in many mammals.
In general, pregnant women remember dreams more than other populations. This is largely due to the extreme hormonal changes during pregnancy.
The quality of dreams depends, at least in part, on the stage of sleep in which the dreams occur. Dreams during REM tend to be more bizarre and detailed and have story lines. Dreams in stages 1 and 2 of sleep are simpler and shorter. Deep-sleep dreams tend to be diffused and may be about nothing more than a color or emotion.
