An Ice Breaker...

Alright. For those who don't know me, I like dreams. Like actual, sleeping during the night type dreams. Daydreams are a COMPLETELY different topic which I may or may not bring up later...

So what is it about dreams that I like so much? At freshman orientation, this question was raised: If you could have any super power, what would it be? I said that I'd like to fly. Reason being, I have had one dream in which I flew and it was remarkable to wake up and realize that sensation.

I like dreams because you'll never know what you're going to get. If you read my blogs on my myspace page (search: Nick Hanscom), you'll see a huge variety of dreams I've had so far this year. I think dreams are interesting, and that's enough for me.

And last night, I had my very first dream where I time travelled. Yeah. I went back to the 1970's and it was freakin' awesome!

In the present time I had this mission to retrieve this one particular trophy jumping through all of these hoops; sneaking past guards, getting past alarms, etc. Come to find out that this trophy was hidden by someone a long time ago. So that was my goal, to find this person way back then and ask them THEN what they did with it.

Unfortunately, I didn't get that far in the dream. But here's the cool part:

I went back in time. I was driving a car down a road leading to a parking lot, where I parked (duh.) I was supposed to go to a nearby beach/park to conduct surveillance on someone. So I stepped out of the car and headed toward the the rear of the car. There was a van parked next to me and an older lady was filling up her cooler in the back. I tried to get her attention, "Ma'am?" No response.

"MA'AM??" Still nothing.

I touched her shoulder. She jumped. I apologized.

"Ma'am, can you please tell me where Blahblahblah Beach is?"

"Yeah, actually - I'm heading there myself. I'll walk you there."

And now the dilemma. Do I walk with her and talk, possibly ruining future events? It was fun to actually have to think this. Of course, since I was just shooting the breeze with her, there'd be no harm. So I walked and talked with this older lady to the beach back in the 70's.

And that's pretty much it. I know it wasn't that intense or anything. It's one of those things where you just had to be there.

Anyhow, if any of you out there have some interesting dreams, feel free to share 'em with me! Could be fun.

Have a good one!
