They are always in the shape of movies.
Julie Andrews and Jeffery Hunter were starring in one.
I’m going to ignore most of the movie plot. Suffice it to say that both Andrews and Hunter were inmates in a Concentration Camp. And eventually, towards the end of the dream, an alligator shows up, crawling into the scene. Hunter yells to Andrews,”Don’t hurt it; it’s my Auntie”. “Your Auntie?” asks Julie. “Yeah”, Jeffrey replies with a wicked gleam in his eyes, “It’s my Auntie Bellum!”
And with those last four words uttered I fell out of bed and woke up. Auntie Bellum? Yikes!
Of course there is my “Sam Wheat” dream. In short a ghost inhabits another person’s body. To cut to the chase, the dumber the person is, the stronger that person gets. There is a scene where Sam Wheat picks up a fully loaded railroad tanker car and throws it into orbit. The Incredible Hulk is a wimp compared to Sam Wheat.
The problem is that Sam Wheat is about the dumbest dream I ever had. I hated it.
Of course there was this dream where I’m watching the TV. The program is an Italian Sword and Sandals flick like they made during the early 1960’s. The scene goes to an Arena of some sort. You see a heavily muscled fighter near a set of doubled doors. And you hear the announcer go, drawn out in the best possible form, “In honor of his retirement from the Ring, the Fighter Barbosa, sells his soul to Lucifer!” The doors close, and then a few second later the doors reopen and the crowd gasps in horror at the hideous thing that Barbosa has become. And in the dream I close my eyes too.
