A Couple of Weird Dreams

On April 3rd I dreamed the following dreams.  They were so bizarre (and somewhat funny) I thought I would share.


Dream #1:  I found an old guitar and tuned it (note: I've never played a guitar, much less tuned one), and then started plucking on the strings... After getting it to 'sound good', I strummed it a few times, and ended up playing "Morning Has Broken" by Cat Stevens (or Yusuf Islam, take your pick). I was so adept at the guitar that I began playing it with my TOES and was able to produce the most fantastic sounds from it for a group of friends (and it actually included women, which is REALLY bizarre--LOL).  I was able to make the guitar sound like a piano, then a drum kit and then other percussion as well.  (I'm assuming that was all 'beginner's luck'.)  Then, to showcase my talent, I began performing a rousing, unnamed tune on the guitar (again, playing with my toes) while they carried me out to the car (because I couldn't walk, naturally) so we could go to a TV studio for a live performance.  == End of dream #1.  (Note: my big toe hurts! It's either because my toe-strumming has been out of practice or I stubbed it when they carried me in my chair. LOL)

Dream #2:  I took a new Japanese co-worker of mine to the University of Minnesota Minneapolis campus.  (For those of you not familiar with the Minneapolis campus, it is split into two by the Mississippi River, and there is a bridge with a covered walkway that connects the "West Bank" to the rest of it.)  We were at the 'beach' along the edge of the river (believe me, the Mississippi River does not have a 'beach' in Minneapolis that I'm aware of) and the water was flowing far more rapidly than I've ever seen it move (and in the opposite direction, I may add!!) but we were going to ford it so we could climb up an old rickety wood-rope contraption on the other side for some obscure purpose. (We saw others doing it, so we lemmings decided to give it a shot too??)  I made it all the way across (stepping on 'stones' that were conveniently just below the surface) but my Japanese co-worker did not and had to be fished out of the river) and I climbed up the ropes until I came to the Simon and Garfunkel poster high above the river and == end of dream #2.
