First thing's first. There's something to celebrate! No, it's not what you think. Almost as good, though. I got my first speeding ticket in 13 years today! Yeah! Isn't that great? Thankfully the officer was funny and personable and not bad to look at (don't get me wrong, he's no Lyle but what girl isn't a sucker for a guy in uniform?) and he only gave me a ticket for going 5 over instead of 8. What a guy! Send any congratulatory presents (preferably cash) to me and I'll put your name on my blog under The Laura Speeding Ticket Fund donors list. Donations can also be made to The Laura Needs a New Root Canal Since The One She Had 13 Years Ago Has Gotten Reinfected Fund since that was yesterday's fantastic news (what are the odds that my last speeding ticket and root canal happened in the same year and now I get to pay for new ones at the same time?).
Okay, onto the real reason for blogging today. Dreams. Ever had a weird dream and you can't for the life of you figure out where it came from? A couple of weeks ago I dreamed that I was chosen to play Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat even though I A) am a girl and B) didn't audition in the first place. Wow, I must be really good for them to overlook those two big obstacles! Broadway, here I come!
This made me think of other dreams that I've had. Unfortunately, I can't remember that many of them anymore, but I did come up with a couple of good ones. I also collected a couple of Annie's and I remember a couple of my sister Amy's dreams that she had when she was a kid. Hmmm...I haven't told you a lot about Amy yet, have I? Maybe I'll blog about her next week.

To continue, here's some fun dreams. I'll mix them up and I'll let you guess who had which dream. I'll tell you at the end who did which one. That way it's a game too!
Dream #1: This dream starts out with a young girl waking up and going to school. But this girl had way cool transportation. She was riding to school on a giant rubber band. Yes, you heard me. Just bouncing along down the road on a giant rotating rubber band. This young girl realized that she had the power in her dreams to change something so she changed the rubber band into a horse. It only took her seconds to realize that riding a giant rubber band is way cooler and she changed it back.
Dream #2: In this dream, the young girl's parents were buying a new car and the saleswoman asked this girl's brother if he wanted to play a video game while he waited. Of course the answer was yes. She took him into the building and up in the elevator to the video game room without even asking this young girl if she wanted to play too. So the girl goes to the elevator which apparently has many buttons to push and she has no idea which one to push so she just chooses one at random. Out comes an inflatable spaceship from the elevator shaft which starts carrying the young girl upwards to the video game room but before she could talk to her brother or the saleswoman (why wasn't this saleswoman selling a car instead of playing video games? I guess we'll never know) the spaceship popped and down she goes. Out of the elevator now comes a flying dragon which flies the young girl back down (why not up to the video game room?) where she pushes another button and this time a gigantic aerosol deodorant bottle flies out and carries the girl up to the video game room. I bet you've always wanted to fly a deodorant bottle, at least almost as much as a gigantic rubber band.
Dream #3: In pencil drawing a girl and her sister and mom are driving in their car along the freeway. On the sides cartoons are singing and dancing (kinda like toon town in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?') except there was no sound. Then a big hole opens up in the freeway and the whole car falls into it. Inside the hole sound and color are restored but the car has disappeared. It's an underground cavern with a pedestal and a fishbowl with a fish in it on the far side of the room. Out of a tunnel clunks a pirate, eye patch and parrot on the shoulder and all, who looks at the girl, and her mother and sister and says, "Argh, if you want to go on one of you must wrestle the whale, mateys." He points to the fishbowl in which is swimming a tiny whale. The girl's mom volunteers and the whale jumps out of the fishbowl, grows to huge size and the girl's mother starts wrestling on the ground with it. As if this were normal, the girl and her sister leave their whale wrestling mother and go down the hall where a number of doors are attached. In each room they become something different. The first room is decorated like an old west saloon where the girls are turned into cowboys and have some sort of adventure before the leave and go to the next room which is blue and has lots of bubbles and flowers and they turn to fairies. The last room is puke green with a mud floor and the turn into martians and run around the room (where they can walk on the walls and ceiling) as the mud floor rises and almost drowns them. They escape the room and the dream ends.

| Here's a drawing of a yogurt person and vampire |
Dream #4: Black fades to pick and blue. There were people in this dream...but not people like you and me. They were yogurt people. Half blue (blueberry?) and half pink (strawberry?) with a thick black line down the middle separating the two separate yogurt halves. There were also vampires in this dream who sucked yogurt instead of blood. The young girl runs away from the vampires into a room where she's followed by a yogurt princess. The vampires find the pair in this room (they came to get the girl) and the young girl callously volunteers them to eat the yogurt princess instead.
Dream #5: In this dream the little girl was a little scrawny boy who lived in an orphanage which was yellow and in the middle of a muddy field with dead trees. This little boy found out that the terminator was coming to get him. In fact, he could see him coming down the road (he must have been a John Connor type character). This little boy tries to get away from the orphanage to save himself but there's too much mud and he gets stuck multiple times. The terminator of course is not having the mud problem. The boy gets out in the dead woods behind the house and is trying to get away and the terminator can almost reach the boy before the girl wakes up thankful to be alive with no terminator trying to kill her.
Dream #6: Burt and Ernie from sesame street are in this dream. It didn't last long. Burt was a vampire and was chasing Ernie all over the room to try to suck his blood but Ernie was running away. This one scared the little girl a lot and she cried after she woke up.
Happy dreams!
