I dont remember any of my dreams ever. But I do remember one night I woke up because my wife was punching me in the face, actually got a black eye from it. Apparently in my sleep, I had my hands on my wifes chest, and she said I was yelling, " Charge it to 360" "Clear" Then she hit me repeatedly.

Never did remember that dream

Keep it in the short grass yall

I was a computer lady, and sure enough, I had computer-related dreams. I'd be working out problems, etc., etc., When windows came out, I started having those off-to-sleep dreams where windows would be popping open in front of my eyes!

The funny side to that kind of thing was when I was working at the Country Music Association. The CMA has a "thing" every year called Fan Fair, where a lot of the country music stars have a booth and they sit there and sign things, take pictures with their fans, etc., etc. A great big love fest....

But The CMA staff was small, and I used to be responsible for the set-up for the exhibitors (stars). There was a standard packet of stuff that they needed, visitor passes, food tickets, parking tickets, etc., etc.... But there was ALWAYS some problem. So all day, I'd be there, smiling and nodding "yes, of course you have a problem." and pointing to the press building across the parking lot. ALLLL day long, smiling, nodding and pointing (the universal Press Building Sign). Sure enough, each year, I'd go home, exhausted after a long, frustrating day, and lie there in bed, and be going off to sleep.... smiling, nodding and pointing. *sigh*

I also here the call lights as I fall asleep and jump up to answer them, only to realize I'm at home (thank god)!

I dreamed I was in triage one night, when a big group of guys staggered in, dressed in the county jail's orange coveralls, no guard, with some white toxic powder all over them. They started passing out, all needed intubated........I was yelling to seal off the area, go look in the van for the guard, get masks etc before entering triage, get the registration clerk out of the area....and dreamed I ended up with the stuff on me too and got intubated. 2 months later there was an episode on ER of hordes coming in covered with toxic powder! (I hate triage)
