I dreamed I had 8 different kinds of sausage in my cooler, some campmates were grilling up some pretty bad and cheap ones so I was digging around for the good stuff and couldn't find it.

I'm not any sort of sausage connoisseur. I don't really want to get into ascribing meaning to any part of the dream.

For several days after returning to my 51 week home & would find myself half asleep during the night thinking I was still on the Playa. Kind of weird & dissapointing when I actually woke up :-(

In my dream there is just a lot of dust, my eyes are dry and my feet hurt. somewhere in the back of my buzzing mind a plea for water is acknowledged. just shifting my gaze is like stumbling my balance while lying is disturbed. my sunburn eyes protest as I look out ward into the swirling dunn. Somewhere on the other side of the canvass is where my water is, out there in the wind. I am getting up from the hammock and I think, "Can't believe it's Friday already." I can hear laughter twirling into the powdered air. My tongue pushes uselessly over dry lips, and the blast of moving dust forces my eyelids close. I make my movements based of the that last glimpse. With hand outstretched I make a quick move toward my purse. The difference of having my eyes open or not lies in the colors; tan dust orange or flesh pink and scarlet red, either way the intense light is relentless as the Wind as the Thirst as the Dust or the Desires.

You managed to get a whole lot of homo-erotic content into 3/4 of a sentence.

I recently had a nightmare that I took a wrong turn on my way to the playa, and ended up driving for days taking more and more wrong turns. By the time I finally got there the man was burning. :shock:

I lived my nightmare when I got the playa two years back and forget all my short pants. Not a single pair. I adlibed with scissors. Last year I forgot all my footwear. I only had the sneakers I wore on the plane. I wore them the whole week and then back on the plane home.

My real true nightmare was addressed head-on several years back, when I was in Center Camp completely naked, while nearly everyone else was clothed. It's no longer a fear or a nightmare---I did it in real life! :D

So yeah had a dream last night that I was at burning man but it was being held in a GIANT baseball arena. Were you would go to get food and seating was all filled with these 10x10 garages that went back idk how far. These were built by the bmorg for us to stay in. Mine was stamped with hello kitty stamps (pretty sure they got mine and fox's mixed up lol)
So I went to what would be the field and I saw what I thought was them building the temple. To the north was the man laying on the ground yet. So I left and went walking around. When I came back and looked up I saw 2 huge discs flying in. One landed by the mans feet and the other covered the top of the arena. Some how I skipped ahead in my dream, and get on to the temple. It turn out it is the temple of bass. It was a HUGE bass speaker in the middle of the field speaker up to the sky. You could go inside and sit on the speaker and be vibrated. Meh. So the rest of the dream is spent walking around trying to find my "camp" cause I was so excited I forgot to look at my address. Run into my mom but still can't find it. Then I woke up.

Bmorg never put bm in an arena please! That was some scary shit!

I had a dream a few nights ago where I was riding around on the playa at night. What was cool was that the sound in my dream was just like it sounds on the playa at night, with the sound of pulsating bass and weird sounds from all different directions and sources, and the way that sounds distort with distance. I had forgotten how it sounded, and it was cool that my dream recreated it.

As I was listening to the sound of the playa in my dream, I started thinking that it sounded like some apocalyptic space war with huge artillery pieces on the ground firing at space ships in the distance. Then my dream morphed into a scene where I really was watching some big space guns firing at some unknown bad guys in the distance.

I dreamed last night that I showed up at camp and was horrified to find I had been assigned a tiny spot (not even big enough to fit my vehicle, let alone my tent) as far away from the main shade as possible. As I calmly talked myself down and convinced myself not to bitch about it, Doc showed up and told me it was because I had never responded to the emails asking what space I needed. I couldn't understand that so I left and went to work. I found that I had somehow switched computers with a coworker (one of our accountants) and had been getting each others emails for months without either of us realizing it.

That was weird.

I meant the switched computers thing. The playa part was exactly as I would have imagined it going. Probably with a bit more profanity than in my dream.

Sounds like you need a packing list (and to use it) :).

I had 2 dreams recently:
1. I forgot my hat. I was very unhappy about it.
2. We parked and set up a bit, then walked around to check out the area, but we were unable to find our car again. There was also some huge statue thing someone had built (like 400 feet tall), so that was cool...
