Gah. Dreamt that I won the lottery. Not random number drawing lottery, but the scratch off sort (which I don't usually play, but my mother gives me 2 tickets a year at X-mas).

Anyway, the second ticket said I won a house. Which would have been cool, as I live in a dump in the middle of nowhere.

This is one of those dreams I was pissed off when I woke up.

Dreamt there was a new TV show my father liked, called "Ponto". It was some sort of David Lynch-ish crime drama. Stylish, but made no sense. It was on at 9 pm.

Also dreamt about some other TV show, where the villains was a kid will a silly nickname, and his henchmen were also kids and wore baseball uniforms/jerseys (2 had Cardinals, 2 some other team).

Also dreamt I listend to the radio and heard a cover version of the Sparkles song "Hipsville 29 BC". It wasn't as good - the drums were toned down and the lyrics sung clearer.

Dreamt my cousin (who owns the place I live) visited. Then I went to feed the cats. On the way up, I ran into my neighbor, who said something like "2 people died in the area recently, but he didn't do it (or wasn't responsible)." Which was sort of weird.

Then, it shifted me to playing hockey with 2 canadians I used to know (though one I think was a new yorker). Only it wasn't really hockey, it was hitting the puck with my shoe.

Then I dreamt that I looked in the fridge, and found 2 more cheese sticks. (This turns out not to be the case, I am out of them).

Dreamt that Edgar (one of my cats) was being really really evil. Scratching and biting and such. (He was in fact harassing me while I slept, though not being mean)

Dreamt that I found (and went to) a really really big used book store.

It was big. Really big. It had everything, including a lot of RPG stuff. But when I looked for something specific, I couldn't find it. I then checked out the paranormal section. There was on book on Ufology, and then I found a road map or atlas with paranormal sites on it. I tried to buy the latter, but the woman who owned the place wouldn't sell it to me. Gave me this other book instead. So I was going to break in and steal it.

Anyway, near the end of the dream, the place had this giant movie screen, and they started showing some geeky thing, anime, I guess.

(the local paper had a story about used book stores, which propably triggered this)

This was one long, mostly connected dream (I am slightly sick, which seems to help generate these)

Basically, I dreamt I read a novel, or a series of novels, but then I dreamted them out, like I was there. But at the begining, I remember seeing the entire series of novels, I think 5 of them, picking the first one out, flipping through it.

I don't remember the series name or the author (though I did in my dream), but it was by Baen books. And like most of their stuff, it was sort of right-wingish.

Anyway, I don't remember the details, but there was one part, which was sort of like a naval/space battle. I remember looking at the equipment, and saying ("Gotta love the 70s era computers) or something. Anyway, shortly after that, a bomb or depth charge or something was dropped, and everyone in the room waited as it slowly fell down. Booom, it went, and we had to flee the room.

From there it gets a bit weird. We then became a band of freedom fighters, or rebels, fighting against the evil space government. Lots of laser-gun fights and intrigue.

That went on for a while, then I had to get up to let the dogs out. When I went back to sleep, I sort of started resuming the dream, but I think I started dreaming about the Sims, and making elderberry wine.

Seemed like one long, connected, free-form dream.

Went on vacation with my parents, so that was fun. Argued with my mother a lot.

Dreamt that I got a cd from a cd club. It was something I wanted. It was a greatest hits collection of some sort of industrial rock band. I want to say Machines of Loving Grace, Sister Machine Gun, or KMFDM, but I don't think any of them were actually it, it was a band that only existed in that dream reality. It was 4 cds. And I was going to pay for it by a money order.

Also dreamt that I watched a video. It starred the 3 guys from xXx - that is, Vin Diesel and two other big guys. It was also about a car (a GT-40?)

Ate at this diner. Pretty good food.
