I dreamed a dream
Reading Alien Red Queen’s blog yesterday, it came to me that I should share a dream with all of you, not an erotic dream, enough sex with yesterday’s post.
Have you ever dreamed about the way you’ll die?
Eerie I know, but I have.
I often tell my friends that I’ll die by the hands of someone else, just like John Lennon but less famous, much poorer and in a less fancy building and thanks god without Yoko.
I’ve been dreaming on and off for the last 8 months that someone kills me right before I get to enter my building.
The first time was extremely vivid. I woke up, I was alive, and then went to back to sleep and dreamed about marshmallows.
Dream usually goes like this:
I leave my office, walk back home and right before I pull the keys out of my pocket someone stabs me. I can’t see who, but I wrote a couple of names just in case, so if you, yes YOU, were trying to kill me, your name is on that list, and they’ll come after you.
So, I get stabbed, drop my bags and tell the person who opens the door “I’m sorry” and bang, drop dead.
I’ve learned to live with death behind my back, when you do what I do for a living people often wanna kill you.
Leo, and what is it that you do for a living?
Are you on a kind of witness protection program?
Secret agent?
No my dear, I just live my life the way I please, do not give a damn for what people think, and that’s a dangerous business (deep isn’t it?, you didn’t see that coming).

In all seriousness, do not eat 2 pints of rum raisins ice cream before bed, even it is Häagen-Dasz. That thing will mess with your dreams forever. I learnt the hard way.
If it doesn’t mess with your dreams, it’ll sure mess with your stomach!
But it’s sooooo good
Ice cream has never messed with my dreams, but I haven’t eaten 2 pints of it. As child I could recall the same dream night after night – there was a special dream I often did it will – if I thought strong enough before I fell to sleep the dream came back. Strange .. isn’t???. I wouldn’t give you this advice about this dream. Love the song.
I wanna see you kills me
See me could mean death … you heard about the black widow??? *laughing
Hahahaha I meant I wanna see who kills me, damn autocorrector. But the black widow is supposed to be sexy, so I’d risk a look even tho I don’t swing that way
I thought that was what you meant, but …. not as it came out as. *laughing … Don’t worry, you’re safe.
Rum raisin – yuck! You deserve nightmares if you like that stuff!
P.S. Where’s the poll?
Yikes….well, I thought for YEARS and YEARS that I would meet my end in a traffic accident but haven’t had that dream in a long time…not sure if that’s good or bad but it “is”. Haagen Dazs Rum Raisin is my FAVORITE by the way……if my husband has ice cream before sleep he always has a terrible nightmare.

Well, I am glad you were able to go back to sleep and dream of marshmellows, which seems much better (unless they are massive ones that are trying to smother you in your sleep, of course
).
Rum and Raisin – my Dad’s all time favourite! Oh, he’ll be jealous when I tell him you’ve been eating the stuff.
I agree!!! Sweet things will make bad dreams, when you eat them before sleeping – that’s scientifically proven. But I’m not sure if this means Häagen Dazs too… come on it’s Häagen Dazs – that’s worth a nightmare or two…
Your last tag cracked me up and then I felt terrible. Good job.
What?! How can something as beautiful as Haagen Dazs give you nightmares like that?
Wow, well glad you warned us! I’ll stick with my favorite, coffee.
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating:
Raisins are the devils fruit!!!!
I only hope mankind learns in time…
I think I’ll die at the vet’s. I’ll go in and won’t come out. They wonder why I don’t want to go there.
Haagan-Das…. I might suffer a dream or two for that… But I have had dreams about dying too. Getting shot sometimes. Like, the gun is pointed at me and I can’t do anything about it, and then I get shot. I’m sure there have been more but for some reason, my recall isn’t working right now. Must need to get that coffee into me. The way we feel in our dreams, in danger, like we know what’s coming but can’t do anything about it, seems to indicate feelings of helplessness and high anxiety. Maybe there’s something at the time in our lives that we feel we have no control over. I find it curious that you apologize to the person behind the door. Do you think it means anything?
Thanks for the link up, BTW!
I’m surprised your bowels haven’t revolted yet.
Doggy, I just remembered a dream I had last night, complete with tornadoes and apocalyptic fiery clouds that spewed fireballs. In the dream, we were running and trying to predict which way this big wave of fire would move…and we failed. I was engulfed in flames. But then it was like a video game. I died and it was like it reset or something. Horribly scary!
Good job I don’t like rum and raisin ..xx00xx

I have never had that ice cream but seems delicious. I love rum, I love raisins so I would probably love the combination. Speaking of dreams, for about 20 years I constantly dream (at least once a month) about how I am in an earthquake and I die. I have survived all the earthquakes so far and I would like to survive few more….
I would NEVER stab you, my friend. On the other hand, a fire, properly staged, is easy to conceal the guilty party… not that I’d do THAT, either. No, for a friend, I’d make it quick – failed brakes on your car (if you have one), a convenient electrocution (I’m GREAT at those, as I’ve fried myself more times than I can remember!), something creative!
Speaking of dreams, I dreamt last night that I got to meet you! It was a former workplace of mine, though I think the building was actually a building where a sci-fi con took place back when I first started going to them. But I remember thinking it was so cool – right before I woke up! BUMMER!
Maybe Haagen-Dazs put a little too much rum in their rum raisin? You know most people just get the falling off a building or into a deep hole dream.
