Nicholas Dreams

The dream began as four small children boarded a dinghy at the edge of a decrepit pond.  It felt like a low-grade horror movie.  It was almost dawn, but still quite dark and there was mist floating off the surface of the water.  I remember myself actually pushing the boat into the water.  The kids…

I was in some sort of elite platoon of soldiers whose task was to free a precious spring of clean water from the clutches of a nebulous villainous entity.  It all took place in a massive post-apocalyptic, mountainous landscape.  I couldn’t figure out if we were on earth or if in fact, it was taking…

I had been agonizing over a pitch we were doing for my friend’s commercial. I was waiting on Bobo’s animation treatment to see what we’re going to present. I was walking through an enormous bureaucratic complex. The halls were covered in dark wood with incredibly high ceilings. As I proceeded down a long hallway it…

I was living on a farm in northern England. In fact, it belonged to me. I was venturing outside in the late afternoon to check on my livestock.

This dream is another foggy one but had some nice distinctive qualities.  It was riddled with a fair amount of anger and rejection issues.  I was championing a set of odd causes, anyway, moving on. I remember driving across an enormous bridge in reverse.  I had a whole car full of people and we were…

This was from a couple of months ago, stuck in my mind with extraordinary clarity.  I was on vacation with my family.  We had rented a huge mansion in New Hampshire or Vermont.  It was in a strange neighborhood with an array of other huge, beautiful homes.  It felt like an enormous Quaker village the…

So, there was a whole chunk of dream before this but this is the part that stuck in my mind. I was walking along a riverbank, it was really gravelly, and there was an enormous grey blue mountain behind me.  I realized I was following this older white dude.  He was wearing old jeans and…
