Here's a recurring dream I've had a lot. It involves being in one place, usually across the country, with my car, full of my possessions, and somehow only being there on a visit, with a plane ticket leaving the next day. The problem of - how to get my car and stuff home emerges, more slowly than one would think.

In this dream, it doesn't occur to me until late the night before I am due to fly home. It suddenly occurs to me and I start to make half-baked plans. Can I ship this stuff? Ok. So I start to pack. Uh oh. The car. What about the damn car? I can't ship the car.

I start waking up people who are sleeping in the house I am staying at, they seem to be mostly young punk rockers. I make a brilliant plan with one of them. Maybe he can drive my car out, don't they want to tour the west coast?

The stuff in my car seems random and even as I wake up, still trying to solve the problem, I am scolding myself for making such poor plans for this trip.

This is the story of a dream I had 10 years ago.  In my dream a meteor had struck the earth.  I was searching for my Dad in the aftermath.  When I finally found him, the shock wave from the impact was pushing me away.   He was scared out of his mind,  and frozen with fear.  I could see the reflection of the explosion in his eyes, glowing bright red.  In the end I couldn't reach him,  and I woke up in a cold sweat...??I wrote a song about that dream called 'Black Winter'.  You can listen to it at this link, or type my name in 'Google' along with the song title.
