Junk Drawer 06/24/09- Dreaming Edition
Last night I had this dream that I was playing video poker and won $120,000 (playing nickels I might add). It was awesome. I was going to be able to pay off my debts, put down a ton of money on a home and buy a new car. Then of course, I woke up and realized that I am still in debt and not anywhere close to being able to buy a house or new car…it was quite the disappointment.
So I ask you Bedgers, what is the most realistic dream that you have ever had? Were you disappointed to wake up and realize that it was all a fake? Or did you wake up relieved for the life you do have? Or maybe just enlighten us with the weirdest dream you have ever had so we can attempt to analyze it (I have some crazy weird dreams).
Happy Wednesday ya’ll

One time when I was a kid
I had a dream that there was a plate of chocolate chip cookies floating above my bed. I reached out to grab them and nothing. I was sad.

Kobe Bryant, on the other hand, has four delicious chocolate chip cookies, each of which representing an equally delicious NBA Championship ring...

True story
I had this dream about a week ago that involved me trying to help this priest (or some sort of religious figure) inside of this structure that was like a giant sheetmetal barn during a fierce lightning storm, with the barn being built on an airport runway with planes taxing back and forth. He kept having me go to this grocery store to get supplies, but every time I went, I’d get attacked by this kid near the checkout lane, who was about 12, but sort of acted like Gollum from LOTR. I had to pick up a shopping cart and hit him with it to get him to stop attacking me.
I have no clue what it meant, but I think I need to test my drinking water and/or stop having tacos and beer so close to bedtime.

I would also check the mushrooms you’ve been eating. Sounds like you got slipped some shrooms.

Shrooms would be a cop out
‘Fraid that’s all me. I will admit, that’s one of the weirder dreams I’ve had (at least that I can remember). Also, it seems like the more off the wall the dream is, the more vivid the images and sensations.
I do remember a dream where I shoved my jerk of an old boss into a giant display of Oreos (I worked at a grocery store) after he was reprimanding me for something I did on the job. That one was pretty fun.

I used to dream almost daily that I was having sex and would wake up with a diamond cutter
I didn’t know why until I woke up early once and realized it was the hippie lady upstairs who always got busy in the wee hours of the night. She was really loud and it always took over my dreams. Beyond that, I probably remember one in ten dreams.

Oh.
And remembering one in ten dreams..that’s usually me too. It’s weird, but the last couple months I am remembering more and more. Or maybe it’s just because my dreams have been getting more strange so they stick out to me? I dunno.

I'm really into analyzing my dreams
I keep 2 big dream books on the dresser by my bed, so when I have a particularly salient dream, I can grab them and start looking up the key images. I know if I wait until morning its likely I wont recall as much or anything. I have to admit if its a really pleasant dream that I wake from, I often try to go right back to sleep and re-enter where I left off.
I have recurring bigfoot dreams, which actually I call night terrors they frighten me so much. I will almost always have a BIG nightmare when camping out. I get really panicked in them and my friends will either yell at me to shut up, holler from another tent that there is no BIGFOOT out there, or toss shoes at me to wake me up. As soon as I go back to sleep, BIG returns. I haven’t found a dream book yet that explains Bigfoot.

no doubt about that
I’m a firm believer Sass is legit. Couple years ago I went camping with friends up around Opal Creek Wilderness, pretty moderate hike into. That night I was having trouble sleeping and saw something poking the tent from the outside. It freaked me out. I just covered up in my sleeping bag and shivered with fear. I cant say for sure it was Big but something was out there.
Did anybody see that old Bigfoot movie from like the 70’s, where the miners in the log cabin got attacked by the Bigs in the middle of the night? That scene where Sass’ shadow creeps up to the window before a huge hairy armbusts thru the glass and shakes the guy around by his neck… Fuh…reaky.

Tent encounters
I had a cow falling over a fix line on my tent, that made for an interesting wake up moment. I also woke up once and heard a dog barking, looked around, saw no dog, then ultimately discovered an elk making those noises. And I had a bear crawling up on the tree where we had hung up our food and it wasn’t possible to dissuade him.

I can rarely remember my dreams. But if I do, they seem very real.
One day after high school, we had winter conditioning for baseball. Mostly running, but the pitchers could have a small workout to start strengthening their arms for the season. After a particularly grueling workout, I went home, fell onto my bed, and took a nap.
I start dreaming that I’m wandering around in a forest. No big deal, just hiking about and seeing cool stuff. All of a sudden, this peaceful dream turns violent as a bear jumps out of nowhere, attacks me, and rips off my right arm. I instantly wake up, but can’t feel my arm and start panicking.
I spin/sit up real quickly and SMACK, my arm whips around and hits me in the face… then I get the tingling feeling as all the blood rushes back into it. I had fallen onto my bed face-first with my pitching arm (right arm) pinned underneath me.
I also have some pretty intense dreams of a similar nature (teeth falling out, running into psycho ex-girlfriends) after I travel long-distances.

I rarely remember dreams, many of the bad ones are about not being prepared at all for some important task
Like I learn that I should submit my portfolio on Monday in an art class but haven’t done anything yet. Or that I will get tested in French today but am highly annoyed because I’m not even sure I had French classes in the last semester. I think I was much more scared of some classes in my dreams than I ever was for real.
Sometimes I have very long dreams that are exciting and have real story lines, but tend to forget the interesting details of those quickly. I also tend to incorporate old friends, experiences of the day and current noises into those.

I got a TON of those after graduating college
I would always dream that I was late with papers/assignments or that I’d missed a final. I’d wake up actually thinking that I was late for something… then slowly I’d remember that I was done with school.

Mine was always the same scenario. I’d be at my computer and suddenly realize that I either forgot to do a paper or assignment or that I missed my final.
Graduated in June of 07 though and I’d wager I haven’t had that dream since last summer.

Couple days ago
Had a dream that my roommates cat was biting my big toe off. I tried to fling her off and actually kicked the wall. I woke up in pain.
Stupid cat even attacks me in my sleep…

Ha! Moving violently in a dream only ends badly.
Ever try to kick someone in a dream, then actually throw a kick?
Ever do that with your gf/bf/sig other next to you? My gf wasn’t too happy, even though I couldn’t control it. I tried to laugh about it later on, and I was kicked for laughing…
so I laughed some more. Haha…

Oh man, I've kicked Mercury my dog (she sleeps at my feet)
And the Wife a billion times…
I also wake up with a super bad cramp in my calf that hurts all day. It wakes me up out of a dream and I gotta stand on that foot to push the cramp out. It makes me kick before I wake up.
I sleep with a glass of water on the bedstand next to me, and I’ll wake up flinging my elbow out and knock it over. It is lame.
She always gets mad if I accidentally kick her, but what can I do? I’m dreamin’!

Good question
Not in the cal/mag/zinc combo, but maybe in the multivitamins. I’ve never checked — never been worried about potassium levels. I remember once my dad had convulsions in the hospital (after ankle surgery) that were caused by super low potassium levels.

Once
We used to have an end table at the head of our bed because our room was shaped funny. I was sleeping and got up on my knees, took my pillow and swung it, and knocked everything off the table. That instantly woke my wife and I up, and she said, “What did you just do?” I said, “I knocked everything off the table with my pillow.” She said, “Why?” And I said, “I don’t know.”
I punched her in the face a week later while I was sleeping. And a week after that I rolled over and inadvertently punched her in the face again. I was on a hot streak.

It was on vacation and we were napping in an awkward position and her face was at elbow level. It was a gentle roll over punch in the cheek. She’s pretty tough because I puncher harder than Ivan Drago. She didn’t even get a bruise.

I had this recurring dream as a kid
in which I stole a bottle of pop out of one of those old fashioned pop machines, then some crazy guy started chasing me around with a hatchet trying to cut my hand off as punishment.
And, if I stayed asleep through the chase part (I woke up scared a lot), I always ended up at the public library needing to pee really bad, but was wearing overalls and a dance leotard and ended up peeing my pants before I could get everything off. I never stayed asleep past that part.

You don't wanna hear my dreams
I stopped telling the wife my dreams because she’ll think I’m going to turn into a serial killer. Even though I won’t turn into a serial killer, gosh I PROMISE geez.
My favorite thing about a dream is the dream-logic of it, where something makes total sense within the dream but when trying to think of it is makes no sense. Or, it’s a new type of reality, a new PARADIGM if you will, of reality.
I have weird dreams, every single night. When I was younger, I could control my dreams more often, and make anything happen. It would happen every few weeks, now every few months. I dunno what part of my brain or how I am sleeping has changed that. It might be because I try not to sleep and don’t get much of it, since I hate sleeping.
Lots o’ weird dreams that will creep everyone out and make people worry about me. I think some are sending me a subconscious message, others are just having an overactive imagination. Always real vivid and realistic, even if the fundamentals of the new reality in my dream aren’t realistic anymore… but they feel realistic for that dream.
I know I’ve had Blazer themed dreams but I can’t remember any right now.

Directive dreaming
this can be learned and its kinda fun to be somewhat aware of your dream state and be able to manipulate the dream. I’ve tried it many times, but only had real success with it a few times. If before you go to sleep talk to yourself about wanting to control your dream (there’s more to it than this) you can actually learn to direct your dreams.
Einstien came up with the theory of relativity after a dream he had. He went to “sleep on it” with the purpose to solve the riddle. At least I’ve heard that.

The last time I wet the bed, I was dreaming I was going potty in a large rectangle shaped rusty can.
I was in grade school, so it’s probably my longest loss of body function record, because now whenever I dream I’m going potty, I wake up and potty someplace besides my bed.

they call it lucid dreaming
It starts with the ability to recognize that you are in a dream and progresses from there. Some believe the advanced stages of lucid dreaming allows the master dreamer to have out of body experiences.
I’ve had minor success shaping how a dream goes while it is happen and almost no success dreaming about something I considered before I went to sleep.

Yeah
I can’t say, while awake and before I sleep, “I wanna dream about (blank)”, it’s only I start dreaming about whatever and can then control things because I know it’s a dream.
Stuff still happens that I don’t control, but I can make things happen and am aware it is a dream.
I remember at least one dream where I was controlling things because I knew it was a dream, then a lot of bad stuff happened and I started thinking, within the dream, that I wasn’t in a dream at all and I am going to get in trouble for what happened. It was scary.

I've solved stuff in my dreams before
I’ve had problems with this or that, a project or whatever, then think about it and dream about it and figure out the solution. It was neat, because I didn’t think that really happened.
Once thing I try to remember but I can’t right now, is jokes I make up in my dreams, because they make ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE but were absolutely hilarious in the dream.

I just wish
The weird thing was that the dream took place over two towns – the old pop machine was at a gas station in the town we first lived in (the gas station was real, but it didn’t actually have a pop machine like that) – but the library was in the new town we had moved to. I would run around a corner to get away, and I’d suddenly be in a town 600 miles away, only it all made sense in the dream.
I spent months thinking there was something seriously wrong with me before I finally told my mom I was having this dream – and she laughed at me!

BEdge sneaks into my dreams sometimes.
A couple of weeks ago I had a dream that took place at a ballet concert, except instead of ballerinas there were sumo wrestlers on stage. I looked at the printed program for an explanation, but it was nothing but dirty limericks written by Dave. I snickered at one of the limericks and a badger jumped off the stage and lunged for my face and I woke up.

Danny Ainge continues to throw out harsh statements about Rondo
http://www.redsarmy.com/home/2009/06/ainge-rondo-isnt-an-elite-point-guard.html
“As we saw in the Orlando series, they left him wide open,” Ainge said. “His presence hurt us in winning right now because his man went and doubled onto Ray [Allen] and Paul [Pierce] and made it difficult for us.”
Not a max money player. Attitude problems.

Now I may think it is sending a message to Rondo
No real reason to make his value low and to keep doggin’ on Rondo if they wanted to trade him.
Maybe just scare him, that he could be playing in Memphis and living a crappier life if he doesn’t work on what they want him to work on…
I dunno.

Could work, but that jumper is pretty ugly. He'd need to rework it like Parker did.
I can’t believe C’s would actually get rid of Rondo. Yeah, he was left wide open… but they had Big Baby filling in for KG and Leon Powe… did you expect to win the Orlando series?
Seriously, the guy is an All-NBA defender, and is valuable on offense since he can finish at the rim. Want a pg that can shoot? Here, take Blake off our hands, I’d go with Rondo.

I remember a dream as a kid that I was Magnum P.I.‘s assistant, and that I’d help him solve cases, while riding shotgun in the Ferrari around Oahu.
As for Blazer related dreams (aside from Blazer dancer related dreams! ;-) When I was a teenager, I remember one where Clyde, Buck, Terry and the whole early 90s squad was jogging around our barn and property, and would practice drills on the lopsided hoop in our driveway.

After the Michael Keaton/Tim Burton Batman came out
I had a dream where I won the Batcave set in a contest, and they were bringing the set to my house and I had nowhere to put it but it was fun to play in.
It was huge, and I remembered thinking “man now I know why they won an Oscar for set design, because this thing goes on forever!”. I dunno if they won an Oscar for it, but in my dream they did.

I CAN FLY! (Almost)
I stole the ball near half court and was unimpeded toward the basket. I realized that I could dunk, that it all came together. I don’t know how far out I jumped from, my eyes were heaven ward. I threw the ball down one-handed. Great feeling.
Of course, in real life I could only touch the rim. I kept that good feeling of confidence from that dream and it sure felt like dunking, dream or no!

The weirdest dream I remember
Is one where I was a spy working with german spies (that I didn’t understand but sorta did), because the chinese had taken over the world with these guns that shot out little red balls, and they were on to us and chasing us… So we were on a boat, the chinese found us and sunk the boat. I swam over to shore and it was somewhere in Northern Africa, and I climbed on top of a flat roof and lay there trying to overhear what the chinese were saying (I could sorta understand them as well)…….. seconds later I woke up
As a kid I’d have the most terrible nightmares involving the movie “The witches”.
Also I once dreamt that my parents were going to eat me by cooking me in a huge child-sized cauldron with green simmering liquid and I watched on from a cage as they prepared it .
My most recent dream the walls, floor and ceiling were closing in on me and I woke up screaming, granted I just finished exams and was very anxious…

Uhm, Segio? Batum? Taruan Green? They weren't shooters.

But Curry does feel like the pick if we moved up. But maybe he’s thinking “Got Blake to hold down the fort, and use time to develop Bayless next year. Then Bayless will take over, and Rubio will finally see time. Then Rubio and Bayless are both awesome, and do something with that (WIN!)”

I think that ManU would thump England, regardless for whom Rooney and/or Ferdinand chose to play for.
England’s national side is a bit overrated. They didn’t qualify for Euro 2008, and haven’t won a major internatonal title since 1966, only reaching the semi-finals twice since then.
One of the big debates in the EPL is whether the influx of foreign players coming into the league is going to hinder the national team in the future. ManU started a game last season where they didn’t have a single Englishman on the started XII.

your last paragraph
was exactly what i meant.. although in this scenario Rooney and Ferdinand would magically be on both teams for arguments sake.
“One of the big debates in the EPL is whether the influx of foreign players coming into the league is going to hinder the national team in the future. ManU started a game last season where they didn’t have a single Englishman on the started XII.”
The more foreigners you have the less experience your national team has getting to know each other. Its one of the things you would THINK would make the US better, but the talent isnt there.
OK maybe England isnt the best example, but I chose them because their national players are the cream of their crop and play together more often than some of the other countries.
by GreatOden'sRaven on Jun 24, 2009 12:15 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
England probably isn't the best example
if you look at the squad from England’s most recent game, everyone except for Beckham plays in England, but the starting XII includes 2 players from Portsmouth (14th place in league), the goalie is from the 9th place team. ManU, Liverpool and Arsenal each only contributed 1 player and Chelsea contributed 3 players (so the top 4 teams in the EPL contributed a total of 6 players.
Looking at Spain’s team that is playing right now, they have 3 players from Liverpool (2nd place EPL), 3 from Barcelona (best club team in Europe), and 2 from Real Madrid (2nd place in Spain). To me it seems that there is more cohesion on from club to country on the Spainish side than there is the English side.

Hawks & GSW close to a deal for Crawford
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4284512
The Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors are closing in on a trade that would find a new home for Jamal Crawford.
NBA front-office sources say that the Warriors and Hawks will soon complete a deal sending Crawford to Atlanta for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton.
Warriors coach Don Nelson made no secret of the fact that Crawford wasn’t in his future plans. By shedding Crawford’s longer contract and by virtue of insurance payments that will cover some of the costs of Claxton, Golden State would secure a decent measure of payroll relief with the trade.
Less clear is what impact the move will have on Atlanta’s forthcoming negotiations with free agent-to-be Mike Bibby. Although Crawford is not a pure point guard, he’s a prolific scorer whose arrival could affect the sort of contract offer Bibby expected to command from the Hawks.
Offseason:
PG Options: Mike Conley Jr(T)/Jrue Holiday(D)/Rodrigue Beaubois(D)
SG Options: Mickaël Piétrus(T)/Terrence Williams(D)/Paul Harris(D)

There was a time, a time before cable. When the local anchorman reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only men were allowed to read the news. And in San Diego, one anchorman was more man then the rest. His name was Ron Burgundy. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, Ron Burgundy was the balls.

Durant is really not comprable to Crawford
They are both gunners, but Durant’s .577 TS% at age 20 was remarkable. Crawford’s is .517 for his career and he has never topped .545 for a season.
There is a reason Durant nearly achieved a 21 PER and Crawford has reached the 16 mark just once.

The strangest dream I’ve ever had was one where I was stuck in Hell. This hell was different than the one you normally think of, however. Instead of being physically tortured, you were instead bored to death. There was literally nothing to do. Hell was an empty field with a large cliff in the center. To escape this eternal boredom, I decided to try and commit suicide by jumping off the cliff. Unfortunately, it was impossible to kill yourself in Hell. So for the rest of my dream I repeatedly would jump off the cliff, climb back onto the cliff, and jump off again. I eventually woke up.

my favorite dreams are zombie apocalypse dreams
i always end up rounding up mis amigos and fleeing into the hills with an RV ala Red Dawn.

I havent seen it for a while, but I just remember trucks

I know
I was about to mention that, the “red dawn” reference is for retreating into the hills.
hiding in an RV makes more sense than tents in the event of the zombie apocalypse

Season 3 is GREAT
Especially if you thought Season 2 wasn’t too good.

I thought season 2 was amazing
Season 1 was awesome, but didnt not have enough prostitutes for me. Problem solved in season 3.

Season 2 was alright, but compared to 1, 3, and 4 it just didn't really grab me.
And Season 5 I don’t think they had enough episodes to really flesh out as much as they could have, storywise.
Regardless, one of my favorite TV shows ever. Makes me mad it’s off the air while crappy dramas like Law & Order stay around.

agreed.. what was your fav
?
i think 3..
by GreatOden'sRaven on Jun 24, 2009 6:21 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'd say season 3 was the top of the series
Season 1 and 3 book end each other so well, it’s like having a 37 episode season instead of three seperate seasons – complete with the lull in the 2nd act. Everytime I saw Ziggy and that duck I wanted him to get capped – he was such an idiot….
Season 4, despite going into a different direction, was extremely well done, especially the last few episodes where the cops put it together about what was going on. I’d say Season 3-4 were the apex of the series.
Season 5, as I said, didn’t feel complete enough… there was that extra something missing that made ‘The Wire’ really special to watch. One of the major plot lines through that season totally smelled of jumping the shark, but I did feel that a lot of the loose ends were tied up neatly in the finale, which is something I always like in a show.
Hope I was careful enough not to give away any plot lines – no spoiler alert needed I don’t think…

best season of them all
i have heard #4 argued. but #3 is my fav
by GreatOden'sRaven on Jun 24, 2009 6:21 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
4 is also great
but 3 is the best because of the perfect way Hamsterdam/the Avon ring/Stringer’s story is presented perfectly.
Also it contains the best side story of the series: Cutty’s

Who is someone you haven’t met in person yet that you hope to meet at the draft tomorrow?
Brandon Jennings: David Stern. I’ve never met David Stern before. I think that was a trick question.

i'm sure Stern will be thrilled to meet Brandon as well

Jordan Hill
With my athleticism I’d say I’m like Amare Stoudemire. We’re the same height. I can shoot the ball from almost anywhere, so from the mid-range I’d say I’m like Chris Bosh.
GASP! DRAFT HIM KP!!! Trade LMA to get up!!!!!!
It’s funny how some players overrate themselves (Harden, Mullens, Hill, …). Jennings “I’m the best” attitude is downright normal.

he is usually all i play hard kinda guy.. wonder if it was out of context?

The question was "J. Hill... What NBA player(s) would you say your game is most similar to."
A bit below he says
Jordan Hill
I really didn’t care about being one of the greatest HS players. I just wanted to work hard. And it was hard to get my minutes at Arizona, but I was all about getting to the next level.
Jordan Hill
Not saying I’m going to stop players like Amare, KG, or TD every play. But I will try to make it hard, play aggressive and make it hard for them.
