A brief dream history...

Now that I've made the first "real-time" post about a celebrity dream cameo, I figure I should give a little bit of background.

Ever since I was about 18 years old, I've had dreams featuring celebrities on a regular basis. Mostly, the dreams feature male celebrities or famous people. This makes sense as I am a woman and of the straight persuasion. The best thing about these dreams, however, are that they are so very "normal". There is not much fooling around. These dreams seem to be my subconscious taking someone who I've never met and putting them together with me in a situation that is as normal as a dream can get.

I have my favorites from the past:

The dream where I was standing in line to go to a movie with Bill Clinton, but my fiance, Joe Pesci, got jealous and dragged me away. I remember that he got me this huge engagement ring and every time I opened a door or grabbed onto something, it would clink really loudly.

The dream where Paul Hogan (that's right, Crocodile Dundee) and I were walking romantically on the beach at sunset. (No other details available. *waggles eyebrows* Just kidding - all my dreams are pretty clean...)

Any number of the appearances that Benedict Cumberbatch has made as the guy who always needs to borrow my Starbucks tumbler and I never want to lend it to him because he might not bring it back.

The time Miley Cyrus and my cousin were spies for opposing countries, but Miley didn't know I was my cousin's cousin and she told me of her plan to assassinate him on the beach using old-fashioned land mines hidden in the sand.


There are more, of course, but I did say "brief history". I've always had a very colorful, interesting "dream life" as far back as I can remember. I often wake myself up with my own laughter or when I start to say something especially important to the dream aloud. Sometimes I can fly and lately I can change a dream if I don't like the way it is going. Often I will have serial dreams where it will build on a previous dream or set of dreams. I guess it makes going to bed something to look forward to. :)
