strange dreams

I've been having a series of strange dreams lately. Like seriously strange. Strange in a way that no one really quite believes.

For example...

One night I had a dream that I was a nurse, which in itself is completely bizarre. But this father came to me and wanted me to make his son's cough go away. So I went off to get whatever it was I needed to get to make the cough go away and I ended up working at Kohl's. I was in the jewelry department and Mary told me she was going to leave but there were eight people waiting to be helped. Only instead of waiting outside the bay, they were inside the bay in a line and I couldn't find the keys to open the displays. I finally found the keys in a garbage pail and when I pulled them out I was suddenly transported to a car I was driving and I was trying to get back to Kohl's. I made a left-hand turn and was driving past these apartment buildings when I realized I was no longer in the car, but I was walking along railroad tracks with a fence on the other side of me. There was a train carrying coal in tanker cars on the tracks. when the train came to a stop I saw a fence in the distance with two holes in it; one for the train and one for the path that ran along side the tracks. I knew Kohl's was on the other side. As I got closer to the fence the holes started to shrink like in "Alice in Wonderland" so that by the time I got to it there was no way I was going to be able to fit through either one of them. I figured I would just climb the fence and started looking for a good place to start when I found myself in a tire yard surrounded by stacks of tires. Some of my cousins were there with me and we were playing around on the stacks of tires when an alarm started to go off and we KNEW that if we kept touching the tires we would all die. So we all started scrambling to get away from them and the alarm stopped. At this point I found a Kermit the Frog puppet on top of a stack of tires. And then I woke up.

A couple of days later I had another dream. This time I was with Jen and Sarah and her two kids and I was running for my life from something or someone, I'm not really sure. And its possible that one of them was doing the running and I was aiding and abetting them. But we all piled into a car. I was the one driving and I came to a stop sign and wanted to make a left-hand turn but realized part way into the intersection that I didn't have enough space so I stopped short and turned a really tight circle so that I ended up back at the stop sign. Only this time I was on a bicycle by myself. And instead of being a flat road, I was now turning onto a hill. So I make the turn but I can't get up the hill so I'm pushing with my feet, as in Fred Flinstone. I finally get to the point where I can ride the bicycle the right way and I'm racing through people's back-yards when out of nowhere the bike disappears and I'm running super fast until Sarah flags me down and I go around the back of the house with her (let's not forget about the fact that I was in the back-yard to begin with) and then I woke up.

Earlier this week I had a dream that scared the crap out of me. I was lying in bed and there were scorpions in my bedroom. Little tiny black scorpions. Only they weren't normal and they had the ability to fly, kind of like flying squirrels. I'm pretty sure I screamed as I woke up when one of them jumped on top of me.

I have no idea what it all means....
