The ‘Far Side’ of Boomdeeadda

I’ve always been interested in what dreams mean.  Some people think they are precursor’s to something that may happen in your life.  Could a person really make predictions based on what they dream about?  I really hope not because I had the craziest dream the other night about a grizzly bear.

In this dream……

I’m pulling into a parking lot in an old model red car, like the ones I imagine they drive in the middle east.  I can see my cousin Sherri folding laundry on the lawn and she looks upset. When I go to give her a hug she quietly whispers in my ear “there’s a bear right behind you” and runs towards the hotel, while I run towards my car with this grizzly quickly catching up.

I’m then in a restaurant with my Aunty Kathleen, telling her what just happened when suddenly people are running and knocking over chairs.  I look up to see the grizzly wandering into the restaurant.  I jump up and kick out the screen in the window and throw the long drapes out along the side of the building to slide down.  It’s not too far and I assure Aunty that we’re safe.

Next thing you know I’m on a train, telling travelers about this crazy weekend I had when I hear people screaming and I see that darn grizzly walking in the next car.  I panick and climb out on to the side of the train. As the train is speeding along, I shimmy my way to a window and knock with one hand while hanging on for dear life with the other.  Some guys finally notice me and help me in.  I was about to tell them about the grizzly when we see everyone in the next car falling down and the train is tipping.  The last thing I remember before I woke was thinking “oh o, the train is coming off the tracks”.

Crazy stuff right?  Ha, maybe I’ve said too much.  I seemed to be a fearless ‘Born Identity’ chic in this dream, climbing down buildings, outside of moving trains.  Boomdee is usually a real chicken, so that’s somewhat liberating.  I wonder if Spielberg could use any of this?

I don’t usually remember every detail, so that surprised me in the morning. The more I think about it, the more I see the parallel’s to Boomdeeadda.  I have in fact recently posted about my cousin Sherri, doing laundry and bears.  Wow, it’s a little nutty how your sub-conscious put’s it all together. That dream really was off the rails.  Is it a cryptic clue to life or was that just ‘The Far Side’ of Boomdeeadda?
