Lately i've been having some odd dreams. Sometimes I'm walking, sometimes not, sometimes I'm walking short distances but get fatigued and need the chair.
Anyway, that's not the really odd part. Last night I had a dream that I was looking at a really nice old house. Then I went in to the livingroom and found Alan Alfa watching a big screen TV in his underwear. For some reason I decided to take my pants off and sat on the other couch in the room and watch too.

Anyone else wanna share their wierd dreams or analyse others post em here!

Dream's, you gotta love them really, I mean, how else can we get the chance to run, swim and do all the other stuff we did pre-spinal cord injury!

Most of mine, I'll be in a chair, but if there's an access problem, I'll just jump out the chair and carry on as though I'm abled bodied.

Cool!

Simon :muahaha:

I have 'em too. Sometimes I'll be walking, but can't feel my legs still. It's weird lol. Other times I'll be standing around and get really tired and have someone get my chair for me. Odd dreams indeed. :)
Fear is the dumbest thing that we've ever created in our minds; its just so stupid... it stands in the way of everything and it achieves nothing.

I thought maybe it was my meds. Along with the weird dreams I am having dreams about when I was younger. My mom is some of them she has been gone for 7 years. Just missing her maybe she always wanted me to slow down before something bad happened. :)

'Tis odd. That should say 'Alan Alda'. I can't remember what we were watching

Simon, too bad it's not that simple in real life.

Sometimes in my dreams I'll think my legs hurt, but it beats the chair. Then it's like . . . Ahh crap, I'm dreaming huh? Well, enjoy it while I can. Once I remember thinking it felt good to pee standing up again. Then I woke up, wet :mfrlol:

Alan Alda was in MASH, the old series about a front-line korean war hospital. Strange.

Most of my dreams involve me trying to get home from somewhere . . . with obstacles along the way inevitably preventing me from getting there before I wake up. My legs are always fine in my dreams, and I'm always rushing around . . ? :suicide:

There are others, but we'll get to telling them sometime . . . .

Had a couple of . . . Odd dreams the other night. The 1st started off with me and a couple of friends (who I had never met before) visiting the ones grandmother who lived in a small run down trailer. Grandma was crazy and rambled about evil spirits and such. We left and somehow ended up in an old school/collage campus. Then all these ghosts and ghouls and demons and what not appeared and started terrorising a bunch of people trapped in said campus. Eventually I got fed up and told the demons to either f*@k off and let us go or kill us, but quit screwing with our heads. This got female type demon decided that I was awesome for standing up to them, then we made out. She had a forked toung ;). Anyway, the head deamon guy was pissed about that, so they all left and I woke up. Um, ya.

After I fell back asleep I dreamt I was for some reason running a vac truck for a company whose soul purpose seemed to be disposing of something that looked strangly simaler to that slime stuff in ghostbusters 2 (which I watched last week, so maybe that had something to do with it) and I went to complain to the boss about the other hits not pulling their weight. He called me a lazy whiney asshole, so I punched him in the face. He came too as I was walking out the door and said I was fired, I told him I f*@kin quit. In retrospect, I shoulda stayed fired and collected my severence pay. So I went out back and found a best up old cj jeep with the keys in it, so I drove it downtown to some sort of hospital with a huge food court. The lines were massive and prices outrages, then I noticed that the food was made from patients that didn't make it. I shoulda known when the name of the place was 'Sister of soylent green'

I wonder how many "weird" dreams are actually surprisingly common?
