DREAM #123

I had this weird dream. I'm wanted by the authorities. I know I need to get out of NYC to hide, but every time I go to Penn Station to buy a train ticket, they are waiting for me. I wonder if there are other ways out of the city that don't involve buying a train ticket. Just then, a man is touting his invention, a clear sphere you can sit in and it can fly you around. He's selling tickets to try it. No one bites. I ask him if it can fly me to Boston. I get in. Inside, it is all circle magnets I couldn't see from the outside. The magnetic field holds me suspended in the air. I am vaguely aware this might be bad for my health.
I take the trip and land somewhere exotic where there are elephant rides. Knowing we should try to blend in, the inventor and I sign up for the rides. The elephants walk through the mud. There is a tourist couple behind us. The man is complaining about something obvious, maybe that the elephants are dirty. We have to climb some tall, outdoor, wooden stairs to make our reservation and pay. They give us a bunch of vegetable scraps -- to feed to the elephants, presumably. We get on our elephants, side by side, and wait. I wake up.
DREAM #27

I had this weird dream. A man hears a tire explode. He thinks it's terrorists and he runs away. When he believes he's escaped certain death, he has such joy. He brings this joy home to his kids and lives a better life. There had been a trumpet player on the scene. He says there is said to have been a trumpet player spotted wandering the rubble after the towers fell on 9/11, so it is believed that wherever this trumpet player is spotted, there is an act of terror not far away.
DREAM #40

I had this weird dream. Mom and Dad are vacationing in India so I am staying with a family with two boys and two awful parents. The younger boy is a secret agent who is actively trying to kill me. I keep calling my parents' cell, but I only get recordings of them doing church ceremonies. When my mom finally picks up, she asks if they should end their India vacation early and come home. I say no but that I plan to run away from this awful family. I have a car full of my colored yarn. In the end, part of the house turns into a car, so I drive away in that and shoot the younger brother into outer space.
DREAM #1

I had this weird dream. Two brothers are driving a truck that has records instead of wheels. It grinds them down fast. Once it gets to the label, they can't drive it anymore. They are halfway home and have no wheels, so they have to sleep in the truck, or possibly a bathtub.
