August 18: dreams

I’ve been having a lot of crazy dreams lately. For example, I dreamed that I had to drive across part of the country to get to Boats and Bluegrass (the music festival we go to each year in Winona) and then when we got there, there wasn’t room for the camper (we don’t have a camper like this) and I ended up having to sleep under a tree in the back of the concert venue. I missed a bunch of the good bands because I was late and couldn’t get set up. I’ve been driving a lot in my dreams too. I drive across states, but it never takes all that long, it seems. I wonder what all of this means. Maybe I’ve been getting enough sleep lately? That seems kind of impossible since I’ve been staying up way too late (it’s 1:43 am right now). I haven’t been able to fall asleep as easily as I used to, so I took a half-dose of Advil PM the last couple nights; maybe that’s giving me weird dreams? It’s actually kind of cool because they aren’t exactly bad dreams, they are just vivid and weird, like my mind is working things out. I’m just not sure what.

Anyway, it’s late and I’m actually starting to get a little tired, so maybe I’ll do a quick search about what driving in dreams means, then go to sleep.
