Dreams!!!

This blog was originally going to be just about questions of everyday life.

Today though, I'm going to start out with a crazy dream that I've been having and it just seems to continue and continue.

OK, so it starts out with a bunch of people drinking and having a great time partying for the high school reunion. It was a mixture of Tijuana and China town, where we were headed. A big group and walking down this street that looked like we were in the middle of Tijuana, yet we were passing by Chinese restaurants, and walked into this place that looked like a store, yet was seating and talking to people on what they want to eat. We started talking about everything they had to eat, and what we'd like to eat because we were drinking and feeling it already. So we get to the room in the back of the place and are getting ready to drink, the back of the place though, looked like it was a Wal-Mart. There were rows and rows of food and liquor. We all walked, about 35 deep, to the liquor section and just started grabbing our favorite drinks. We end up in my room, and we're all drinking having a good time. Yet people are showing up and eating, and telling us to be quiet. They have kids and they don't need all the loud yelling and talking. So I turn around to tell them, that we are on a high school reunion and that we have not seen each other for years. And we'd greatly appreciate it if they understood. Of course they fought us all the way on it, and they even starting talking to the host to kick us out. That's where it ended, for the partying.

I wake up and I look around on my bed, and I don't see anyone around. My wallet and my phone and my glasses are on the window sill behind my bed, just like i leave them every night so i don't forget them the next morning. I'm looking around the area, where the partying was happening, and no one was to be found. There was even some old carpet rolled up in the doorway and all around the floor, almost like it was left there as if it were a storage place. So I leave, pushing my way through the carpeting, thinking that it was a joke played on me because I was the only one that fell asleep or something. So I get through the piles of carpet in my way, and end up in the restaurant again. Weird right? I start walking pass all the waiters and waitresses from the night before, or so I thought, and they ask if I'd like to be seated to eat. I say of course, what happened to the rest of the party from last night? They look at me weird and say, that there was no party there, that there hasn't been parties allowed in the facilities since this crazy reunion party that took place here about 8 years ago. It got me to thinking, I know we were just in here last night partying, what is going on. So i leave the place just thinking to myself what the hell is going on.

Now I'm on this college football field where a practice is going on. I'm talking to the QB and I'm asking him, you know, what's going on? What's the big deal with everything right now? Why is everyone tied to each other and heading out on a run. He looks at me and says, bro it's been the tradition for a couple of years now. We run around as a team tied together and just have the hometown cheer us on for the upcoming season. So I started running with them, right next to them, but then took off on a complete sprint thinking. If I'm going to run, I'm going to run back home. I'm from El Paso, TX and I was in Montana, some college football team from Montana!!! So I head towards the streets and just start heading towards the interstate. My friend shows up and starts talking to me about how crazy it is for me to run all the way back to TX. I tell him I need to, I have my wife and kids and I want to see them again. I need to see them again. I'm going to get back to them. So he says, well bro, it's a long ways off and you don't have shoes on. I see the sun shining off the interstate and think, damn the roads going to be hot, but I'm going to run my ass over there. So I look at my feet one last time and notice that I'm completely naked now. So I take off on the run, and I'm trying to hitchhike at the same time. Holding my piece while keeping a thumb out saying, hey take me as far as you can. No one is pulling over to try and help me out. Then I see two cop cars come up behind me. Three cops jump out and ask what I'm doing. I said, hey I'm trying to get home, don't know where my clothes went. Can you guys take me home? They ask me, Sir are you OK? I said, yes I am, but I need to get home and see my kids and wife. They start asking me questions, to see who I am and what I do where I live. They ask me, what type of vehicle I drive, my name, my birth date and where I'm from? I give the answers a 2010 Ford F-150 FX2, my name, my birth date and from El Paso, TX. I ask what year it is, they look at each other and say 2010. So I end up back at the restaurant type place and we are trying to get to my "room" to see if my personal info is there. So I watch as one of the cops like runs to the back of the place, and yells out, yeah all that is back here. He comes to the front and hands me my stuff. I look through and I see my Id's and everything, I hand the cop my military ID. He says oh, you were in the military huh? I said, no sir, I'm still in the military, and he says, this is an expired ID. I look at the ID and it says my regular date of getting out of 2012! I figured, if it's 2010 then how is it expired.

I end up back on the football field with the guys and am asking questions. The QB says, hey man, why haven't you walked on to the school yet, I mean you could be my back-up and start next year. I say, start? He's like, yeah man, I'm coming off my senior year and won't be able to play until i get to the NFL. I looked at him again and ask if he's the same guy I was talking to earlier this morning. And he said,  yeah, I remember you because of my little brother. I'm like, what are you talking about? He said you knew him before me, he was part of your class, and you ran into him at the reunion years ago. I ask him, what's the date, and he said, it's 2018, why? Where have I been, what has been going on. So they fly me back to El Paso and I'm ready to see my family and everything, only thing, is they're in school and didn't know I was going to be heading home, they didn't even know what happened to me. I get off the plane, and my "wife" is there to greet me, she's crying and can't stop hugging me. And I look at her and say, you got remarried didn't you. And she said yes, for the kids, I wasn't able to take being alone with them, I went almost crazy when I heard you were no where to be found. the military didn't know where you were, and there were cops looking all the time, and nothing. So I ask who she married and she gave only a last name, but I knew the last name, and asked if it was him. She said yes, but because she didn't know if and when I'd be back home. She says, let's go, the girls are gonna get out of school and they would love to see you. So I'm walking across the street from the parking lot to my daughters school. I see her come out with her back pack, and she actually did a double take at me, she started crying and running towards me and I picked her up and gave her the biggest hug, she said, why did you leave us daddy. I told her I didn't, that it was a huge misunderstanding and that everything would be better now. So she grabs my hand and says, let's go see the babies...We have a younger daughter. So I ask where is she? She said she's at daycare right now. But I'm thinking in 2010 she was 7 months, and it's supposed to be 8 years later. So we head to the daycare, and my "wife" says, watch out she has sort of a spitting problem, she just likes to spit all the time. So I'm walking around and looking at all the babies and seeing alot of them, but not mine. I get to this little stroller that is covered with a blanket and some other type of goo, so I'm thinking this is my spitter. LOL. So I move the blanket, and it was like a movie puke, where I'm just completely covered in spit up and such. I turn around and my oldest is laughing and saying, OUR babies is right here. She is holding my beautiful baby girl, and I grab out to hold on to her as she's smiling at me, and I wake Up.
