All dreams are exactly as they appear in my CVS 3X5 memo book that I keep beside my bed. They may make little or no sense, because I'm barely awake as I write them in my book.

Steve, Paula and I were going on vacation to London. In the dream we were already there and were getting settled in to the place where we were staying. The subject of food came up, and it made me start to wonder about my preparations for the trip. Why hadn't I bought a new bottle of Tylenol for the trip, just in case? Why hadn't I brought some things to snack on to tide me over between meals? It suddenly occurred to me that this couldn't be a real situation and that I must be dreaming. This realization did not cause me to wake up. In fact, I was still sound asleep while maintaining the awareness that I was dreaming.Steve and Paula were in their room, so I walked in on them and started to say stupid things, knowing that I was dreaming and it didn't matter. But in the back of my mind I coudn't be 100 percent sure that this wasn't real. I started to become obsessed with proving that I was really dreaming, and this seemed to be linked with trying to get myself to wake up. I went over to Paula and took all of her rings off. Two were plain metal bands and three had gems in them. I put them in my hand and looked at them and then looked away. I was sure that if I was indeed dreaming, when I looked back at the rings they should have changed in some way. I took a look at the rings and they were exactly the same as they were when I looked away. I spent the remainder of the dream trying to force myself to wake up using various methods.

Dream that I was up at Montclair State with Sam and JP looking for a storage locker that we had acquired several years ago for some reason. I didn't really know where it was on the campus or if one of the keys on my keychain was actually the right one or not. JP had brought Chickie (his dog) along and for some reason I was the one who got stuck looking after her. She was repeatedly running away so I had to go after her again and again. We were also looking for a frog that I think we wanted to put in the locker. While we were looking around from building to building we came across a food show that was being taped. They were highlighting a specific Cabernet Sauvignon on the show as well as a specific dark beer.There was a contest going on as part of the show where two guys were shotgunning an entire small keg of the beer that was being highlighted on the show. The guy who finished his first raised his arms in triumph but the other guy looked like he was having trouble. Soon his eyes rolled back into his head and he collapsed, having passed out. He was rushed to the hospital to be treated for alcohol poisoning. I felt amused by his stupidity and purchased a bottle of the wine. The search for the locker continued without success. Chickie continued to run away and responded very poorly to my calls to her.
Later, when we were done looking around I opened the bottle of wine. JP and I began to drink it, but I guess either he drank too fast or he had been drinking something else already because he began to vomit. He brushed it off as nothing but I couldn't help but think what a dope he was. I took comfort, though, in the fact that I would no longer have to get up early the next day to go to Long Beach Island.
1-1-98 first dream of the new year!
Dream about going to a movie. According to the movie poster, there were supposed to be some famous models in it. I went with Brian and we took our seats somewhere in the middle of the theater. The ceiling of the theater was very low, more like an office building than a theater. When we arrived there were very few people seated. Slowly the theater began to fill with people, including a group of Brian's fraternity brothers. He went over to say hi to them (they were about three rows in front of us) and proceeded to take a seat in their row, leaving me by myself. More and more people came into the theater and eventually there were people sitting on both sides of me, a guy to my left and a woman to my right, both around college age.I began talking to the woman to my right about a problem she was having in one of her classes. For one of her lab classes she was supposed to solder a wire onto a circuit board, but she was unable to get current to pass through the wire once it was soldered to the board. I told her that electronics wasn't my area of expertise, but I suggested that perhaps with the addition of the new wire the current going into the board was being diluted too much and was not getting through the wire in any significant amount. I suggested that maybe there just wasn't enough 'wattage'. She corrected me by saying 'voltage'.
The guy to my left also got into the conversation a bit, but I don't think he had any other suggestions. As it turns out, in the dream the movie became the first day of a class, with the movie being shown as part of the class. I wasn't really interested in the class, but I felt that if I just got up and left it might look a bit strange and the professor would more than likely embarrass me in front of the now-filled auditorium. I stayed in my seat and drifted in and out of sleep.

Dream about an extremely strange film. A man was held as a sort of prisoner but he had no idea why. His captors were a family, I think, and as an act of rebellion he would throw things at them, first at the siblings, and then at the wife. The things he threw got larger and larger until finally he was throwing metal objects a bit bigger than a human head at the husband as the music blared a well-paced new Ministry song. It appeared that the man would triumph and achieve his freedom, but suddenly the husband came over with a very long machete-like metal device and made a cut in the man's face. He then proceeded to chop off the man's arms and his legs and then he chopped up his torso. When he was done he rammed the machete through the man's head and the man said wide-eyed and terrified, "Oh no, I'm a snack treat." (Or something like that) The credits immediately rolled as the Ministry song still blared. I think Alien Jourgenson had something to do with the production of the movie. Other part of the dream involved a car ride on a quest for something involved with a Ministry song. Then it was snowy and we were skiing and skating down an icy path on a hill. Other people wore skis, but I had skates on and Maureen wore figure skates. Her hair was very short in the dream.12-9-95
Dream about a person who has his life torn apart I think by one or more deaths in his family. I'll tell it in reverse. In the end there is a court scene where the man is presenting his case against the man who wronged him. The courtroom is not an actual courtroom, but a general store and both parties are behind the counter. The "killer" is alone but the man appears with his wife and remaining daughters. They are all dressed like Amish or some other very conservative sect. The deal is that the family is now back together again. Apparently during the dream there was a rift created in the family.The man's wife holds a bowl in which two extremely young big cat (lion/tiger) cubs sit. Another big cat cub comes along the counter and the cats swipe at each other. The walking cat proceeds down the counter and attacks and takes in its mouth a small lizard. This is supposed to represent death's unpredictability and unconcern for who is taken. The killer on trial is very nervous as he stands behind the counter. The death stemmed from a racing game that was being organized as a tournament by Paul. There were to be a lot of players but questions arose about everyone being able to make it. The game later became a hockey game and not racing. At one point in the dream some construction was being done and there was a question about where to dump the cement that was being discarded.
The victims were apparently beaten in some way and at the end the man considered whipping the killer in a like fashion but his consideration was played out as an actual event and not just as a thought. There was something to do with some odd form of communication in the dream. Something to do with some being communicating from the eddies in small ponds. At different points in the dream the killer was Frank and Dave. I was the man at certain points. The considered whipping at the end was felt to be a long time coming. The whipping occurred with the killer's body not entirely whole so that defense was very limited. The deaths were sometimes replaced with the killer causing the game not to come about, which was the source of the man's anger.

My project for Tim's lab was to send a scientific apparatus high into the air and then explode it and measure what happens. Was doing this by digging up into the attic and then up farther. The house/lab/? was actually tower-like so I should have been able to continue digging up for a long while. The idea was to fire this apparatus high up into this newly dug area. We dug up into the attic and created a secret trap door in the floor that led to a whole secret room where we had lots of stuff from when we were kids, like tons of empty beer bottles we'd collected. Now the project advanced to the stage where we were able to launch our apparatus although we had more digging to do. It was launched with gun powder and John and I were giving it repeated indoor trials. Sometimes it would not go straight up but fly wildly sideways and bore right into the wall.A woman in authority at the University found out what we were doing and demanded that the project be canceled. She also ordered everything searched. It turned out the Tim was breaking rules by digging up into the building and I really should have known this but chose to ignore it. I soon became paranoid that something would be found either in the attic or in the secret room, so I checked all over for anything incriminating. There was lots of clutter but I didn't find anything bad, but I decided to show Mom the secret room to get everything out in the open. She went up with grandma to look at it and I got mad when grandma rearranged the boxes used for steps down into the room. The entrance up to the upper attic where the room was below was also secret. You had to pull back a big wood board on the landing of the attic steps.

Dream about some kind of living island in the ocean. At first it was small, and myself and a few others didn't know what it was. It seemed possibly intelligent because it could form new sections of itself and eventually started forming things related to human use (boats, trucks). Was not very big at the end, though. Maybe 25 yards across at its biggest. Was a light pink color and had a smooth surface. At one point it formed into a truck or boat and brought us somehow to a place far out at sea that seemed very away from everything else. At some point a dolphin appeared. We were in the water at the time and my first reaction was that it was a shark, but I saw that it was a dolphin and was relieved. It stayed around us and we were able to touch it.Soon a second dolphin showed up. After that, I think some rabbits came to be with us. At some point closely following this it began to come clear to us that the island and the dolphins could understand us in certain ways. If we spoke to them they seemed to comprehend, and a strong emotional bond was forming. Soon after, I think one of the rabbits, or maybe it was the island, killed one of the dolphins. It didn't seem to understand why this was bad, and I couldn't believe what had happened. I tried to explain to it why this was a terrible thing, although it was too late, the damage had been done. Certain events that followed aren't entirely clear.
The island had made some more changes and I remember asking either the island or the remaining dolphin if it was lonely that it was essentially by itself. Near the end of the dream the dolphin and the rabbits had all gone. The island itself seemed preparing to take us back and leave us. It formed the original truck/boat that it had used to bring us to where we were now. Apparently we had been with the island for five years now, and my emotional attachment had grown very strong. I didn't want to get into the truck because I knew it meant that I would be taken away from the island. I was nearly in tears, pleading with the island not to go. I couldn't understand why it wanted to leave us after all this time. One of the others (Phil Hartman) called after me to join them in the truck. He called, "Timmy! Timmy!" I was ready to cry.

Dream where I'm trapped in some kind of amusement park-type of place. I originally left the main group to get some condoms for someone, and something else, and found myself trapped by the lunatic animal handler. There was nowhere to go because all exits were blocked by land on which killer bees lived, and to walk on the grass that they lived on woke them up and they would sting you. Rubbing Starburst on the stings eased the pain, but I was running out of Starburst. Some other guy was trapped there with me, but he was nuts too. He eventually drew these knives on me and we got into a knife fight. He first cut himself a few times to show the power of the knives (if that makes any sense). I think I managed to kill him and I made a break for it because the animal handler was somehow preoccupied. My escape route was actually through the DeAllegro's yard, and when I emerged I found myself in some bizarre place where everyone carried guns and people kept other people on leashes. It was all just too crazy and I woke up. The condoms were actually in a place beyond the bee-farm near a big roller coaster that I rode on several times. When I emerged into the crazy town I somehow managed to make someone driving by crash by smashing his windshield.9-7-92
Went to a Pil concert and played Blasteroids with some punk who was hassling me. Later had to find my way to an amusement pier that was miles and miles away along a highway. At one of the first stops I made I came to a chemical plant that had chemical waste mixed in with large pools of water. There was a little girl riding a little paddle boat in one of the pools, oblivious to the fact that she was exposing herself to toxic wastes. There were huge koi in the pools which the girl admired. From the chemical plant I could see the amusement pier but I couldn't decide which road I should take. The road I took led to a huge bridge that was elevated far above the pier. I made my way along and came to a McDonald's on the bridge in which you fried your own food. From here I began climbing down to the pier and was sidetracked by taking part in a TV scene with Jack Klugman in which both of us and one other person in the scene were all smoking cigarettes. I never made it to the pier before the dream ended.Lots of other dreams preceded this. In one I was running for political office and was trying to recruit voters even though I had no idea what I was going to do. In another dream it was somehow necessary to create a device with which I could draw in a swarm of bees. I went to the Pil concert with Michelle and I think Crissy, but had to wait for them after the show, and I think it was at this point that I had to find the amusement pier, because apparently the girls and I had been separated and they were at the pier. Was originally going to try to take a bus since it was so far but decided to walk it.

Was on a type of vacation with other BSTP students. Oddly there were small pools in lecture areas (I think they were lecture areas) and everyone was going swimming. They were all swimming nude so I didn't think I'd need a bathing suit, but suddenly they were putting on bathing suits, so I tried to find mine but couldn't in all the stuff I'd packed. Eventually found one of Sam's and wore it. Wanted to swim with Pam to meet her but took too long finding bathing suit. Also there were little kids with squirt guns which I took the time to fire back at since I had an automatic squirt gun. This also contributed to the wasting of time. Vacation spot was on an island similar to LBI and I found myself on the North end having to get back to the South. Was getting dark and there was a very thick fog so I couldn't see a single thing.Tried to orient myself by going to the ocean side, but it wasn't possible to just walk along the ocean because of various fences and other natural barriers. Attempt to get South became a kind of video game where you had to make your way through different boards. Supposedly winning the game would get me South, but there were only limited continues. Game fluxed between real life and an exclusive casino that I had to make my way through as part of the game (still wearing bathing suit). Buttons on game were difficult to manipulate and to attack effectively had to hit all of them at once. One board was very difficult because there was stuff constantly popping up and lots of things thrown at me. I think this board determined number of men/continues which was shown by subunits on strange branching octopoid- like things. Somehow got to other vacation area where a man gave naturalist tours or something like that for Real People. He was giving the kid from Home Alone and I think Sam a tour which I believe included diving, and Steve and I were left alone at his residence which was a small shack which was open to a large lake and its wildlife.
From the small pier at the front of the shack you could see planes landing at the airport. I was talking to Steve to tell him about the painted tureles I saw at the pet store when a huge turtle looked like it was attacking us. We got rid of it and when I moved from my seat I noticed a huge python-like snake was standing motionless in an upright position right behind me. I grabbed it around its mouth because it was advancing on me. It tried to spit venom but it wasn't really effective. I held it while it squirmed and after a long while Steve split it in half with a broom handle. It still moved so we chopped it into bits. He said it was a spitting cobra and I would have been dead if it bit me.

Lived in a strange society in an apartment-like housing complex. Was going to school at the time, education being important in this society. The ruling council or whatever they were had a special mission for me and one other person, who turned out to be Dave. We were to travel to some point in the future, I don't remember why. We inadvertently made a terrible discovery, the world was going to end in either two weeks or two months. When we returned we were afraid to tell anyone but the Council. I had lost the will to do anything but enjoy myself in breaking with the normal society behavior because I knew it would all end soon. Made another trip to the future to see if anything could be done.6-21-97
Dream about a massive building complex (mostly underground) that was to be used for re-settlement of the Earth. Within the facility, all or most of Earth's animals and plants were being preserved and cultivated to ensure Earth's biological diversity. Linn had apparently been at the complex for a while and she was showing me around the place. She showed me one of her favorite areas, which was a huge excavation deep underground that consisted of a deep slice into the Earth's crust, showing lots of interesting geological formations. Later in the dream, everyone including myself was wearing shorts and T-shirts to work, presumably because everyone was doing a lot of working out. Bill asked me if I wanted to go to the gym, but I told him I preferred working out at home. I remember seeing a bed of flowers within the complex that looked like they were dying. I wondered what would happen if they couldn't keep certain species alive.4-29-92
On vacation and I had no money and was trying to get this girl to date me. Somehow things ended up in a big supermarket and I was invisible and running from the workers. Only one guy knew about me and was trying various methods to catch me. There was also this really great Latin band in the dream who had a song about how the nuclear button was plaid. Madonna was also in the dream and I was talking to her about how great the band was. I woke up just as I was narrowly escaping from the supermarket. The band had two bass players, one of which had a bass with about three really thick strings on which he played really low notes that sort of washed under the song.10-24-92
Dream that there was some kind of bridal shower or wedding up in the hills of Ohio and from the hills you could see downtown Cleveland and a tornado was coming in and it looked as if it was going right through downtown. Then the tornado started heading for where I was. I had been talking to a woman while watching the tornado and we stood in a courtyard as the tornado reached us. It took the form of a huge boy on a skateboard and on the first pass he ordered me to jump and I did and gave him a high-five. On the second pass he ordered both me and the woman to duck but I thought he said jump, so I jumped and tripped him. Later I was talking to Christina Applegate by a pool with huge fish in it about our careers and she was getting very friendly if you know what I mean. There was also a baby tiger at the event that everyone was playing with.Later the dream became the day before Dave and Geri's wedding and I was back in Cedar Grove and apparently I had been keeping a 10 gallon tank going in my old room with two convicts, a pleco and a huge fish that looked like a nurse shark that Dave had apparently given me because it was getting too big for his tank. Geri was in the living room and she was wearing all black and for some reason her face was Maureen's face.

Dream in which the alien from the Alien movie was being kept captured by some type of company in an underground facility. Within the company, management has been continually screwing over the employees and the staff at the facility has been reduced little by little. By the time the alien was placed within the facility, staff is at a minimum and it is felt that the alien would escape. It does escape, and I'm outside the facility when this occurs, presumably an employee. The alien comes charging out and the 30 or so employees who are on the grounds of the facility at the time (demonstrating because of unfair treatment by the company) run in every direction in a panic trying to get away. The demonstrators who were being fired had been displaying small plaques showing which type of programming they did for the company. I remember seeing a guy with a plaque for Win8.1-10-93
Went on a trip to Florida but actually North Carolina I think. Went with Howard Stern and Robin but later it became Steve and the guys. Howard's car was an Escort and we had to drive through the airport lobby in order to get to the parking lot. In the airport I realized that I had no airsickness medicine so I went to a newsstand to get some Dramamine. They had Dramamine and also a big pink block that you put in your mouth that was kind of soft like gum so I asked for both. My seat in the plane was front row on the right and the pilot was seated like a bus driver right in front of us. I went to take the Dramamine but realized that the woman had given me Sucrets instead. So I put half of the soft pink block in my mouth, got my pillow and shut my eyes to go to sleep. As I was trying to sleep, my position would shift when I'd fall asleep for a few moments and this fat guy next to me kept moving into my seat. Eventually I was just hanging on the very edge of the seat and he was completely sitting in my seat so I told him to get back to his.The plane ride was very smooth. During the flight, Steve changed into the guy from The Naked Gun (Leslie Nielson) and was working on a huge noodle. After we landed I was still trying to sleep and everyone got off the plane without me knowing it, so I quickly grabbed my bags and got off. There were also some other bags by mine that someone had apparently forgotten so I grabbed one of these as well. When I was off the plane I put my bags down and talked to Sam and it appeared that someone had stolen my bags. I went around the corner to look for the thief, but didn't see anyone so I said a quick prayer. When I returned my bags were there.

The possibility that God is presenting evidence of His existence in modern times. The main character in the dream is Jack Klugman who is visiting his daughter at college to take a look at evidence that she and others claim proves God's existence. One bit of proof is a bottle of alcohol that although displays the properties of ethanol (burns, etc) is not really ethanol and can be consumed without ill effects. There is also a record (his daughter works at a used record store) that contains numerology that is somehow incredibly convincing in proving God's existence. Jack is at first not convinced but is eventually made a true believer from the evidence.

Dream where people are modified to become zombie-ish inhuman creatures. The modification takes the form of removing the eyes and inserting huge implants that go way into the brain with new eyes at the ends. Implants also go into the mouth and there is an eye at the end of that, too. Several other modifications are also made. The horrifying aspect of the operation is that the nearly-converted person can remove an eye and pull the huge spongy insert out and then put it right back in. The whole thing was in a movie-like context where I didn't want to watch because then I was in a sense haunted by it. It was also possible to also be incompletely modified where certain other minor changes are made, but not the full set of modifications. One of the persons who was modified was someone who I had been close friends with . It seems to me that he was Keenan Ivory Wayans. Fearing that I was to be modified next I threatened to call the Air Force and expose the whole operation. They warned me not to but I became very scared and decided that I'd better do it or else I'd be next. I called the operator and got the Air Force but it seemed that they weren't really going to do anything, at least not right away. Before I made the call I had dismembered one of the modified people and supposedly killed him. However, while I was on the phone he attacked me and I think he seriously injured or dismembered my left arm. At that point I knew I was doomed.Somehow the modified people were likened to trees or plants where just removing parts would kill the average man but not a tree. So it took much more to kill one than just stabbing or ripping an arm off. Also previously in the dream another tree anology was made in the movie-like aspect of the dream. A modified man, who had gnarled root-like growth covering most of his body, was shown squirting a white substance out of some object that was in the place of his hand onto an apparently naked girl who was to be their next victim. The scene was shown in the context of being a clip from a movie and there was a controversy over the unusual sexual connotations of the scene. Anyway, after I was grabbed by the guy(s?) I thought I'd killed I soon woke up.

Dream about a Benny Hill show in which Benny and myself were trying to destroy a new type of food that would be very cheap if produced and could easily feed the world's population. We felt that if it were produced there would be a huge population explosion. The dream took place in the future in a huge underground complex and during the dream the military-ish crew of the complex would foil our attempts to destroy the food which was essentially a clear bag of popcorn. Each time we felt we'd destroyed it, it would reappear in larger quantities. Finally we gave up and decided that a population explosion wouldn't be so bad if we could start colonizing other planets10-5-91
Was standing by large building I think in Penn looking across a huge river at 3 nuclear power generators that were billowing with grey and black smoke. Was talking to an older woman about how much smoke was coming out. Suddenly one of the smaller reactors began spewing a white substance that fell as snow. There was a panic as everyone rushed into the basement of the building. We had to remove any article of clothing that was wet from the snow. I was down to T-shirt and underwear but I found a utility vest in a closet.1-3-92
Dream in which I was the devil. It was near the end of my rein and I was being destroyed. For some reason it was necessary for the guy who was killing me to eat part of me, perhaps my heart or liver of something and set the rest on fire. Later it turned out that blowfish were also involved. I think he ate them as well. It was odd because everyone was commenting on how well I was doing in school but for some reason I thought I was doing really badly. An attempt was made to kill me originally, but I had returned. I think this is when I got all of the praise. Perhaps it wasn't praise for school, perhaps it was praise for being crafty enough to escape destruction the first time. I think I did it through possession of my original assailant. Later I used my powers of darkness to try to possess various aspects of people's lives, from influencing the growth of an unborn baby to clearing a path through the snow. Later in the dream there was a big snowfall and it was a Halloween-like situation where we were going house to house. Harvey Coreman was in a house on the corner of Eastwood and Cedar.1-27-92
Dream about reading different version of the Jesus Incident. I think it was about a 3,000,000 year old consciousness that was partially communicating with the main character. All sorts of tremendous insight and great ideas in the book. Was inspired to read it again by a guy who was asking me questions about it. He was asking me if I could tell him the reason for one of the story's main themes. I think it involved a postal worker and something to do with falling. One part of the book involved the exploration of the death of a woman in the book. For some reason the theological/philosophical implications in the book were so sad that I couldn't stop crying. I was all mixed up and had other stuff in my hands and in an effort to pick the book up in my mouth and leave the room I was in, I took a big chunk out of the book. In the back of the book were photos from the movie version of the book that I guess was never released.If you have any comments or would like to send some dreams of your own (I'm also really curious to see if anyone is finding this page) feel free to contact me at monsterpile@gmail.com
Also, for anyone interested, I've written a series of internet games which can be downloaded free. They can be found here
