Like so often I had a movie-related dream.
It revolved around Brian De Palma who was put in charge of overseeing the construction of a new airport, located somewhere in California, that would've been named after Alfred Hitchcock (who else?).
De Palma came under a lot of fire with people accusing him of his films being far inferior to Hitchcock's, suggesting that therefore he was unworthy of building an airport in honor of his hero. Weirdly in my dream he had made a remake of The Birds featuring some highly regarded European arthouse actors and there was a newspaper review claiming that while this version of The Birds had a better cast than the original, it was otherwise a travesty.
But despite these troubles the project was allowed to go forward and I was among the people invited to inspect the building site which was in the midst of the desert. We were told that Mr. De Palma would soon arrive to show us around, but that's the last I can remember before I woke up.

Isnโt that the exact plot of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen?!

I don't really have dreams, other than the usual dirty old man fantasies about Emilia Clarke and Kaley Cuoco.
But they suffice

Although something tells me your reply was meant as a joke.

There was a cold, flowing river in my backyard and I was bathing in it.

Thanks for the thread, theravenking! Last night I dreamt that I was in a city that kept changing from Salem, Mass., to Providence, R.I., and back again. Iโve had dreams set in Providence before (my cousin lives there) but not Salem, as far as I can remember. As usual with my dreams set in specific cities, neither โProvidenceโ nor โSalemโ looked like the real Providence and Salem. Most of the dream took place on a long street with mansions on the left and shopfronts on the right. At one end the road turns into what looks like a main street. Anyway, the main part of the dream is that Iโm back in college (usual for my dreams) and Iโve been tasked with babysitting a pony and a little girl (less usual). I have no idea where the girlโs parents are or even who gave me this assignment. But I have to lead both girl and pony around the city, no easy task because the girl wants to run off and have fun, unsurprisingly. One long section involved sitting in a restaurant with a bunch of other people (my classmates?), though we never seemed to order food or anything. In another scene, pony, girl, and I get separated in some kind of Halloween festivity (despite its not being Halloween before) where the streetโs closed down and these actors dressed as government agents say thereโs a UFO. I look in the sky and sure enough I see a UFO, and I think, Wow, this show must have an enormous budget.I eventually find my charges (girl, pony), and Iโm so ready to give them back to whoever gave me this silly assignment. Stressful dream. It felt like one of those โcarry a flour sack around so you can see what parenthood is likeโ assignments they did in high school.

I dreamt that I helped someone push their stalled car off the road, and then I vomited immediately afterwards. It looked like I'd been eating a lot of watermelon or strawberries, based on the spew. My guts were hurting and I felt woozy.
That feeling woke me up. Thankfully I hadn't vomited for real!
I later realised that's the first time I've ever vomited in any dream I've had. Done everything else, but never that.

Wellโฆ Not unless the girl and pony were Great Old Ones in disguiseโฆ and the government ops were real ops, not actorsโฆ which is why the UFO looked so convincing (not that Cthulhu needs a flying saucer, but letโs roll with it)โohmigosh, it all makes sense now! ;) Funnily enough, in all the times Iโve been to Providence Iโve never been to Lovecraftโs grave. Iโm not the biggest fan of his (I like some of his stories, as I think you and I have discussed, but he also wrote a lot of hackery), but I should see the grave at some point. Cuz and I have been to Providenceโs Lovecraftian bookshop!

Yesterday afternoon I took a quick little power nap. I dreamed I was at my credit union, and as I was about to leave the teller said they were having a party tomorrow immediately after closing time, and I could come if I wanted to. I said I might be there. The teller said, "Sure, if you want to." I was thinking that I really didn't want to. I imagined it as one of those things where everyone gets a small slice of cake on a paper plate and soda in an 8-ounce cup, and they stand around making the smallest of talk, but I left the option in place. Then the dream ended. I was going to post it here but got distracted by something or other and forgot about it.
I dreamed a hell of a lot more last night, but this is the only part I can remember now. I was in a darkened room and a woman was asking me, "If you know you're dreaming, why don't you just scare yourself and wake up?"
And I said to her, "If I wake up, what am I waking up to except a world worse than this one?" We stood closer to each other, and then I could see her in more than just silhouette. She looked Amerasian, with brownish blonde hair and very dark eyes, as if the iris and pupil were both black. She said nothing, just looked at me, not in a mean way but not smiling either. Then I woke up.
Most of the time I'm like everyone else and don't know it's a dream until after I wake up, but this was one of those times when I did know. I was aware of my waking life, but I was in no great hurry to get back to it.

My dreams are always like a full feature film, there is a starting situation then something happens and I'm taken on a full adventure, in multiple acts or chapters, like a movie or a novel. It goes like that until I wake up, and even if I'm split up from some characters I typically come across them again at some point later in the story. There are some that I remember more than others, going back years ago in some cases. Yesterday I only remember the last "act" though. The setting seemed roughly in the early 20th century from the way people were dressed , myself included, I'd say somewhere between the 1910's and the 1930's. The general architecture and layouts of the buildings and streets would suggest a North American city. I remember that with other people, we had placed a bomb in a building and it detonated ( I'm not always a good guy in my dreams). That was in the previous part/act. Now, I can't tell you why but somehow, the others and I didn't flee the general area. We had stuck around to make sure it blew up, we didn't die with it but we were not already out of the city when it went off. I also can't tell why, but somehow the authorities knew us or were looking for the group which I was a part of. So, as we tried to use the crowd movement, while people were panicked, to flee our observation spot in a building that was at a safe distance from the explosion, we got split up. I ended up getting into a train station that somehow had an architecture similar to the old Penn station: As made my way through the tightly packed crowd, towards what would be the boarding area, I felt someone grabbing my left arm and get closer to me. I turned and recognize a blond woman that was in our group. Apart from her hair that are slightly undone she seemed fine. We exchange a few words about how we are and the whereabouts of the others.Then we talk about the need to get out of this mess but then a thought crossed my mind. If she managed to find me in a crowded place and among the panicked people leaving the area through the train, then the authorities surely can. So I quickly look around and sure enough, I'm catching heavily armed cops coming down the stairs on my right about 100 feet from us. As far as I can tell, they don't seem to know exactly where we are but they seem to be coming into our general direction. Having to "fight" their way through the crowd is slowing them down but we also have to do the same to escape them. Considering the pace at which people are boarding the nearest train and how the boarding agents seem completely unable to really do anything from the flow of people, I'm guessing the train either won't leave or will leave whenever the driver feels like it, no matter who many people are in or not. Problem is, we're not close enough to be on board if the driver chose to leave now. I turned my head back towards the woman still holding me and I suggest we try to find another way out. (Now it doesn't actually make sense but in my dream it did.) I remembered there are zeppelin boarding areas on the roof of the building and suggested we try to go there to see if we could get out faster that way. We manage to make our way up to the top and we realize there are people but somehow it's not overly crowded like the train area below. As we walk towards the lines we see some cops already there. Luckily they are standing between the lines and looking at how everything is going but don't seem to actually pay attention to who is in line or boarding. The zeppelins seem rather small and can only get about 30 people in before leaving but there are dozens of them and from my estimation we should be in one soon. Now I realize the boarding agents do ask for tickets or any kind of pass. Neither the woman nor me have tickets or a pass so we decide to discreetly gather all we have and try a bribe once we reach the boarding agent. As we are about 5 persons behind the one giving his tickets to the boarding agent, I begin to hear a humming noise that doesn't come from any of the zeppelins. As I look around, I notice electrical sparks near the tip of the zeppelin further on our right, where it is attached/"anchored" to the building's structure for boarding. I know there isn't supposed to be any electrical current in those anchor points but I'm seeing the sparks move closer and closer to the hull and some begins to run across the hull. I barely have time to let out a curse word before the airship blows up. Somehow I survived the blast but I'm laying face down on the floor. Debris are all around and screams of pain and agony can be heard all around. I manage to raise my head of the ground and rest on my forearms but I'm still overall prone on the ground. Then my alarm rang and it woke me.
