Dreams Come True #1 - my edited video on Kennesaw Gun Law, part 2

Dreaming of a bad crash in the San Fernando Valley

The above image is where my next dream begins. I'm driving down I-5 South to I-405 South into the San Fernando Valley. I drive at a high rade of speed for me, between 75-85 miles per hour. I don't know where I'm going nor do I know what my destination is at this point. Later on in the dream, I get off the 405 at an unknown exit. My best guess is that it would be this exit below.
Somehow, I get off the freeway at another high rate of speed for me, 60 MPH while taking a hard right off the freeway. I lose control of my car where the car steers itself, I end up on the passenger side of the vehicle, and I pull into a car lot, miss a few cars for sale, then crash into the front door/glassway of a dealership. Later in the dream, I had to convince my insurance company to cover the cost of the car that I damaged. It turned out to be a 1990's style Cadillac which would sell for $25,000. In the dream, I thought I got off cheap. In reality, I haven't had a car crash of any kind since 2002. I haven't been to Los Angeles since 2007 or to the State of California since 2008. I hope to go back to both someday. One final note: I'm an excellent driver.

Dreaming of the Suns and Padres

I had a dream where I was in the media lunch room at US Airways Center at halftime of a Phoenix Suns/Toronto Raptors game. I walked in there without a media pass or a credential. I breezed in there with ease. I met up with an old colleague of mine from my Cox Communications Days. I went to see Rich Reid; he and I chatted about something, but I don't remember what it was. Looking out the window, it was dark outside. One minute, I saw a blue tennis court in the dark with night lights. Later on, I saw the playing court of the Phoenix Suns when they battled the Toronto Raptors to start the third quarter. Later on in this dream, I was listening to a Toronto Blue Jays/San Diego Padres baseball game on a 1990's style radio. My Padres were down 8-0 to the Blue Jays. I saw in an online in-game box score, I saw that one of the relief pitchers gave up 7 earned runs in 1 and 1/3 innings of work. That "7 spot" came in the third inning of that game. In reality, I woke up and i see that the Phoenix Suns are in last place in both the Pacific Division and in the Western Conference at 17-35. My San Diego Padres finished 2012 with a 76-86 record and didn't end up in Last Place in the National League West. I'm optimistic about the 2013 campaign for my Padres. I hope my optimism extends to the Suns going into next season.

Dreaming of ASU again

This morning, I had a dream where I was back at ASU again. I wa on my way to the Memorial Union while picking up a free copy of the "State Press" and getting some of the best college food to eat. Later on in the dream, I was on my way to the Student Recreation Center in the middle of the night to go and work out. I was all set to go, then some unknown person in the dream interrupted me and took me away from the destination I was intending to go to. In reality, I was back in bed and ready to wake up after Gandalf woke me up. I haven't been an active student since 1998. I was back on the ASU campus with my wife this past Fall. I showed her around some of the places I used to hang out at, where I studied, and where I did some of my best work as a student. Somewhere along the way in my dream, I'm being told that I like newspapers and food. That is true in my life to this day.

Dreaming of Phoenix, sort of

This morning, I was in Arizona with one of my old college friends and mentors. He had some friends that were Green Bay Packers fans. In this dream, those Packer fan friends of his were about to have a baby. I was on my way into the delivery room ready to take some pictures of the impending child birth. In reality, I woke up. I haven't been back to Phoenix since October. I haven't seen my friend from college since my college days at Arizona State back in 1998. I hoe to show him that I'm a good runner someday. In reality, there's no way I'd ever be a Green Bay Packer fan. Go Chargers!!!!!!

Dreaming of Escondido

Monday Morning, I had a dream where I was back in my hometown of Escondido, California. I was in a big van down Center City Parkway with my wife, mom, sister Gena, and an unidentified passenger. I wanted to invite my whole family to live with me in California and have fun with me and enjoy life where I once did, most of the time. In reality, I woke up. I haven't been to Escondido since my dad died back in 2007. The last time I was in San Diego was in 2008. I hope to go back there with my wife again someday.
