It was weird. I rarely remember dreams, and when I do have no desire to share them, but this one was too vivid and weird. Car related, so I’ll share it here. This is some of the content:

-Michael J. Fox
-DeLoreans
-Robert Downey Jr., looking disheveled and wearing a cheap shiny suit, talking shit about Michael J. Fox and BTTF while smoking, drinking brown liquor from a bottle, and driving wildly and hanging out of the following two cars (as shot from a lead car while underway)
-1976 Dodge Firearrow with no doors and DMC badges
-early 80’s Honda Accord hatchback with no doors and DMC badges
-dirt roads through some woods
-Panteras
-time travel with Panteras and a strange woman
-Venice, Italy, which it turns out Panteras are unsuitable for
-Scenes with Cherry Blossom trees and stone bridges like in Gran Turismo 6 photo travel mode
-welding
-bad guys
-old leather & glass flying goggles

Granted I’ve been sleeping poorly with a newborn in the room, but this is something else. I had the dream in my last burst of sleep between about 6am and 7:30, after rocking the baby from about 4-6. I felt ok, if groggy then. I generally don’t drink during the week, but I only had 1 beer last night and woke up with what feels like a crushing hangover after the dream, as if I was Robert Downey Jr.

No explanation. I haven’t watched BTTF recently, but I have the DeLorean Hot Wheels on my desk. I’ve never actually seen a 1976 Firearrow, and the Accord was a 5-door hatchback, which I’m not sure was ever built. I saw a Pantera a couple weeks ago. I am reading the last book of the Hyperion Sci-Fi series, which may have contributed. And my description of the cars does not do them justice. They were like Mad Maxian/Dirt track race car/Jeeps. So damn weird. I hope this doesn’t happen again.

I have some strange car-related dreams sometimes. One of them was that my dad traded my 924 for a 930 Turbo to surprise me.

But did the Panteras have no doors and DMC badges?

Oddly, no they didn’t. Nor did they have any time travel paraphernalia. They may have had scissor doors though.

I’d say it was the beer. I generally don’t dream, and by that I mean I don’t remember them so I don’t know if I do or not. If I drink enough to pass out hard, no dreams. If I go to bed sober, usually no dreams, even if it’s somewhat interrupted (these days, also a baby). If I have just a few drinks (1-3), even if it’s not interrupted (though almost always when it is), I’ll have some interesting dreams.
