The "Man I Had a Messed Up Dream" Thread


I don't know about you folks, but I find people's (and my own) "messed up" dreams to be quite fascinating and entertaining. So, why not a thread.

I'll start with a gem I had last night.

I was hanging out with Tom Cruise. We were out to lunch and were awaiting a third party....the lovely Nicole Kidman. Whether this was just a friendly lunch, or if it was supposed to be prior to divorce...I don't know. Anyway, she shows up, and remarks that she likes my outfit. Suddenly Tom and I have to go. Where do we go you ask? Why to a pool hall.

Now at some point in my dream (or not...it is a dream) I must have told Tom I was tired of always waiting in the car. So he invites me in. He is in a hurry, and rushes through all the security. I, on the other hand, am stopped by each one. Yes this three story pool hall has many security guards. I only catch glimpses of him going around corners and up stairs. When I reach the final destination (a big wooden door with the word "office" on it), I am stopped by two really big henchmen who will not let me pass. When I tell them that I'm with Tom Cruise, they seem to be satisfied and let me in.

As I enter, I see Tom standing in front of a big desk and Johnny Caspar (a character from Miller's Crossing played by Jon Polito) sitting behind it all red-faced and he yells, "I'm sick of always getting the high-hat from you kid! If you want to continue making blockbuster films, you'll knock off the smart mouth!"

At this point, Tom leans to me and says this will only take a minute. To which I reply, "Why did you bring me in here?" And of course he says because I was always tired of sitting in the car. Well, I politely excuse myself, and head back the way I came to get back to the car.

As I'm almost out, I'm stopped by the janitor. This janitor just happens to be a friend of mine from my workplace named Timmy. He pulls me aside, and asks me, " What the Hell are you doing here? Don't you know what kind of place this is? You can get killed for just looking at someone funny here." So of course I respond with, "What the Hell are you doing here Timmy?" And in a matter of fact voice he says, "I work here part-time."

And that's all I remember. However, the really funny thing is throughout the entire dream, I'm only wearing a pair of boxer-shorts. They have jalapeno peppers on them and read "Hot Stuff" all across them.



Now, I'm not sure what all this means. I'm not sure if I want to know. It kind of got me questioning my own sexuality and/or an attraction I may have to Mr. Cruise. However, since this isn't the place to go into that, I'll just say that anyone who frequents the "Red Hot Nipple Forum" might want to check out any new Tom Cruise threads to catch my thoughts on the subject.

So I invite any comments, and encourage others to share any "crazy dreams" they may have had.

oh, and my dreams are usually directly related to recent events in my life, and i also have lucid dreams on occasion.



hmmm craziest one... i was in italy, my mom was driving my girlfriend and me to the market place, we were in the middle of a river and went down a water fall, then around a turn into a channel, and then into the marketplace.


at that point, i went lucid, and hung out around the market place for a while floating in the air.



another time, i went lucid in my dream and created the golden gate bridge, and filled it with very happy people and created a big festival with really cool regae music.

I've been there. Don't eat the little green bean looking things.

I had a dream a long time ago that I was on a bridge. There was no festival, and no Tom Cruise, but it was a really big bridge.

You've got issues.

Sometimes a really big bridge is just a really big bridge.

I almost never remember my dreams and I think I like it that way.

I had a dream last year where I was at an event or a party or something, and I'm outside getting ready to walk in and all the sudden a car door opens and Steven Speilberg gets out to go into the event/party too. He's like right in front of me so I say to him, "Steve! Great to see you!" really loudly and he looks at me with a "who the f---" are you expression on his face.

Later on I meet up with him again inside and I apologize for my sarcasm out front and we both have a good laugh about the whole thing! Weird!

I had a dream where I was on a road trip in Australia with Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, and Cate Blanchett. We were all naked, too. Or am I confusing dreams with fantasy? Any way you look at it, it's a pretty awesome scenario...

Dude, you totally have the hots for him. Since you shared, I'll share my embarrassing dream. I usually don't remember my dreams but this one stood out.

I dreamed that I was trying out to become a member of the Backstreet Boys. That in itself is wrong. Anyhoo, the tryouts were intensive.

I had to spar with one of the members in a karate match. Pass a written test. Finally, there was the obstacle course. I'm busting my ass to climb over walls, jump over pits, crawl under barb wire as bullets fly overhead. I don't think even James Bond had such a difficult trial.

I even remembered one of the Boys yelling as I ran through the course, "Only the best can earn the right to be a Backstreet Boy.":b

I never knew if I passed the test and made it into the group because I woke up.

Where can I get me a pair of these shorts?
