guy singing in my dream:
Aint got no tick?
Not a hick

new game?

I played this game with my mom in my dream. The game is basically like chess with nothing but rooks, and you try to capture other pieces. The only other differences are that there's lots of barriers/walls up so you can't just move right across the board except for in a few places. You also have a home that you try to get them to where you take the piece off the board if you get it to that spot and get a few points (2, I think). Also, you start in different varying positions where you're already intertwined with their pieces from the start to get the ball rolling. The game is set up for 2 to 4 players, and it only goes for a limited time-certain amount of turns so you don't end up going all the way till the pieces are gone. You get 1 point for each other player's piece you kill. I played with my mom and for some reason she really stressed me out trying to beat her which is ridiculous because we were only playing a game. Maybe that reflects my own life and my stress level right now..

Ivor

dream - Guy looking for lab job in a cardiovascular lab on the East coast that he can join for his PhD. Said he wants to harvest tissue from marine animals so can't be too far in. He also said he worked in Ivor Benjamin's lab during his undergraduate years, and so I caught onto that and teased him by saying:
me: Which school did you say you went to?
him: Oh, I went to the University of Utah
me: That's kind of far for you to come. I didn't think University of Utah graduates made it in college (refering to college as graduate school)

Nonrandomness

dream - Guy believes in non-randomness - looks for God.
Then one day he gets arrested by the Feds. It isn't anything he's done; he just gets caught up in the wrong thing. (The government fails him.)
While in jail he descends to the basest of friends who one day betray him and remove their friendship from him. (Friends fail him.)
Then while in jail he meets a man of God. Thinking God is not real and that this man will hate him too, the man blames all his past evils on the evil within himself. He then learns from the man of God that God is just, and even though he's been through seemingly random events that make him look evil, he still has a pure spirit, and in the end he will inherit the kingdom of God. (God doesn't fail.)

A new creative spurt

This was read by a guy in my dream:
Instructions - [before reading a Dr. Seusslike book]
We'll have to go to the flat side of the moon. There we can meet the mind who made it. The tight ones unravel. Kings and the great ones of the earth humiliate to be gently appraised.

Here's a hypothetical conversation about the meaning of this writing:
author: "...meaning we'll have to be or do something new that's never been done."
other: "or you mean that doesn't exist."
author: "not that the flat side of the moon doesn't exist..."
other: "But it's round."
author: "Yeah, but when you're far away, doesn't it look flat?"

Alarm clocks

Lately I've had this thing where I dream my phone goes off or that there's a knock at the door or something. It makes me jump and I wake up, but then I look at my phone and there's nothing. It happens right at 6:00am or around then. It happened this morning and I think it happened yesterday. Sometimes if I tell myself I'll wake up at a specific time, I'll have that happen right when I said I'd wake up. It's great-I don't need an alarm clock! I'm crazy!!

I daydreamed this and then I drew it.

Lions

I dreamed I was at the lion museum. They had you roar when you got in. I roared weakly the first time, but with the staff making fun of me (in a good way), I got progressively louder until the 3rd time I sounded like a real lion. Then I wanted to go through the exhibit. They had the life cycle of the lion broken up into 3 or 4 groups. They were food, love, fighting, and maybe something else. I am in the fighting stage of life, j/k.

Griffins

Two griffins were fighting in my dream. One was driven by a sense of justice, and the other was a wild griffin. Both would kill me & my friend griffin if they found me in my cave under the ground. We were hiding while watching the fight. They were flying and fighting by putting light on each other, trying to do damage to each other. The one with a sense of justice had a friend to heal him & give him more power, and he overcame the wild griffin in this way, so that it fell to the earth and was dead. My friend griffin arose early in the morning and stole the carcass of the wild one so the other griffin wouldn't get it, putting the carcass over himself like a cloak. Maybe my friend griffin could use it to capture his freedom by saying he killed the wild griffin, and no one would think he was bad any more.

Overalls backward

I dreamed this girl was wearing her overalls backward with it low in the front and high in the back, but we weren't sure if she'd done it on purpose as some kind of fashion statement or if she was being duped by her roommates, and we didn't want to say anything that would make her feel uncomfortable so we all decided to wear our overalls backwards too. Then we had a Hecker family cheer, but we had to do it twice because my parents weren't there the first time. (We don't all wear overalls, but for my dream it was kind of funny.)

Snobby professor

I dreamed Ramzi and I were joking with this snobby professor: He was visiting our lab. When he shook my hand, he didn't let go for like 2 minutes-it was kind of awkward. We finally got to him when I was wearing a mask with big holes in it, and I said, "This will protect you from swine flu, right?" Then he started laughing.

New Zealand - sort of

I dreamed I was in New Zealand surrounded by marvelous giant green mountains. There were black rock cliffs and lots of lush, green foliage-a place of my dreams. (I don't think New Zealand really has this place. I think this place was better than New Zealand. It's probably more like a mix of Brazil and China.) As we drove past, I reached my hand out the window and caught a firebelly toad, to show my friend Reed, who was in the car too. And then there were blue tongue skinks in this visitors centre area.

I dreamed I had some fruit and vegetables growing in Utah that I could eat whenever I went home. I was telling Mom about them, but then it was time for dinner and there was this cool little homemade roller coaster thing the Rachel made that went around a string in the shape of the galaxy (Just a light for the sun, and the earth, moon, and Mars). If you held it it could get through the loop around the moon; otherwise the string would get in the way.

Warriors

I dreamed that I or this young ninja warrior was battling an old ninja warrior whom I thought to be corrupt. The young ninja warrior had many advantages like a longer sword and a sister to shoot arrows for him and a girl (the girl he was fighting for) to hand him weapons, but the old ninja warrior was better and had more experience. They fought for a long time, with the old ninja warrior calling out moves of the young ninja warrior, like, "You were just about to do a Spinning Dragon on me, from China." Neither one prevailed, but the old ninja warrior was doing better for most of the time. Toward the end, the young ninja warrior gained the advantage, and he asked the old ninja warrior if he wanted to stop fighting. The old ninja warrior was very surprised, saying, "I had not realized we could stop fighting." Then they stopped and went home. They were both satisfied with the fight.

dune buggy-armor plating

On Friday I dreamed that Chance and Lance had this cool dune-buggy thing in the back of a big armor-plated truck. I told them it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. It had oil spills on it though, so I couldn't go inside. Sharron was selling cars at school. Everyone else thought it was ugly.

mail

On Thursday I dreamed we were at the Hopkins library (I've never been there in real life so I don't know what it actually looks like), and the people there were being losers. They had a package with my name on it, but they wouldn't give it unless Dr. Stanley was there present, so I pointed him out and said, "See him? that's Dr. Stanley." Then they gave it to him, no questions asked, without having him show an ID, which made us both mad because then one of our enemies could come and say he was Dr. Stanley and they could get our mail (we don't have enemies in real life either for the record-that I know of anyway).

zombie tag

Last night I dreamed for my Gleason family reunion we had a game where people would tempt each other with candy. As soon as someone ate a candy, they were a zombie and were to tempt others to eat candy too. Naturally, I became a zombie as soon as possible.

Freedom from Nazis

"She died in a mine! She loves you." Then peaceful clouds and music and light - end. <-- I dreamed a girl's mom died in Nazi Germany by the Nazis sneaking into her own home and shooting her. It was a documentary, but to me it was real. Freedom is worth the price that was paid for her, but oh! what a dear price!

Giant ogre robot

I dreamed I was in this Stinky cheese man-like fairy tale, and there was a giant ogre robot attacking us. We defeated it by getting it wet by squirting it in the face and then deflecting its freeze ray into it. In the end there was this game show host and 3 people who got to accuse each other, one by one, of who had the money, but the game show host usually pocketed the money because he always had it and nobody ever guessed him. but this time, the girl guessed him.

Crazy adventures

So I dreamed that Tom got this sand cruiser that looked like a Ferrari or something, but then he didn't show up at the beach with it, and he called me, saying there were these big pot holes blocking the way. It was blue. Then I was with my parents and telling them about it so they were excited to see this, and when Tom got there, he came in another car that was dark grey and had doors that lift up. I got inside and it had these skinny disks that I guess were supposed to replace CDs and DVDs. It looked really empty but then if you put your hand in the right place, all of these automatic things would come down like a TV and paper towels and stuff.

Then I was thinking to myself, "What a stupid expensive car if it didn't even do what it was supposed to and get across the sand." so then there was this girl; she looked like Hannah Montana, and she drove this car and jumped over the pothole/ditch and landed in the water, and, because of the high speed and design of the car, we (now I was in it too) kept driving on the water. At first I was worried about it sinking because we didn't own it and then when we would have hit a boat, we took off and flew around the bay. The problem was we crossed the Mexico border and came back, and when we came back there were all these police everywhere and I was yelling, "front left pocket!" with my hands up so they could get my wallet with my drivers license in it. I then replayed it in my mind and was flexing my stomach and crouching over this time in case they hit me in the gut when my hands were up.

A searching friend

[Braveheart music] "Sam, wherever you are, I hope there's an answer up in Heaven," -Frodo as he was searching for Sam. He went back to find him because Sam said he would never leave Frodo. They both died on the mountain, because, although home was so close, he never stopped looking for his dead friend, Sam.

an old man

A man who had been an inventor was found dead. They made his grave high in the mountains in his home in a cave. I heard his meek gravely voice speak, so mild, saying that's what he'd want, but, "not rescue, because it doesn't actually have a rescue. And, I know what that means." -He was talking about how nobody could rescue you if you die, because you're far away, up in the mountains. He wanted it that way, to make his grave there.- I heard nice music as I saw the ins and outs of his home where he died, the mountains, and of his life. I saw him inventing things but never being very successful, so enterprising when he was young, trying all different ways to make money and to make a living. He was a painter. His greatest work was when he took a half finished painting, and cut it up so the kids at school could then trace each piece and paint it in their own way, then put the pieces together that the children had made. The original, which he finished also, hangs in a room in his chamber/house, and, "is nice_, but the" kids-made one sits in the national chemistry museum place where it is on display, and that is his real masterpiece.

a dream

less-active mormon goes back to the temple and stuff. his Jewish wife asks him about it. He says, "I changed to be what I needed to do."
That dream inspired me and I'm trying to be a better man.

Cat pee?

I dreamed I got to pet my old cat, Sylvester, but then I woke up with a physical sensation of the smell of cat pee coming from my pillow. It only went away once I logically figured out that there was no cat in the room because I was awake and we do not have a cat where I am at the moment. I promise, me and my cat have a better relationship than that..!

Preying mantis heart

I was sitting down on the grass in this one dream, and I noticed preying mantises everywhere. One attacked another, and they were fighting. Then, another one jumped down off my shoulder and stood in-between them, and then his heart popped out, and it looked exactly like one from a rat or mouse in the lab. But at least they stopped fighting.

Afterwards, someone in my dream said that, "Jesus said, 'Israel, with all my heart I have suffered thee.' What's it mean? I don't know." Then I woke up. Well..I don't know..but I think it looks like I need someone to analyze my dream because it seems like these ones are somehow connected...

Before these dreams, I was dreaming I was in Ireland or something, and someone made fun of my accent, saying, "Yoo-tawwr," [Utah], which I thought was pretty funny.

Climbing high in the mountains

My favorite dreams are about mountains and sunsets and clouds. This one was cool, because my friend Reed was there and his cousins and brother, Nate. We climbed a high cliff, and then looked down and around and saw nothing but beauty as far as the eye can see. There were mountains and green hills in one direction, and a fine sunset in the other

Catching escaped convicts

I was up high and watching from where I was sitting before. I couldn't help them as I watched a bunch of guys chasing this one who was running away. He got away a bit and hid instead of going onward, so those who were chasing him thought he went on, and went past that spot as they were looking for him. When they got back from looking, he jumped out from behind a tree to kill them. He had a knife so I was worried for them, but 3 of them surrounded him and beat him and they didn't receive a scratch.

It happened once before where Aaron Roundy was one of them too where he volunteered to go and help find a way. This time one of God's servants came and confirmed the truth and told them it was a deadly disease and that they needed to get out, so they found a way even though the way was hedged by evil men who wanted to kill them.

It's conforting that they came through without a scratch. And so I can too. Later-There are these 3 guys who are gonna be living with me as they face the challenges of life. I think that's what this dream is about.

Still don't know the answer

I was dreaming that I was in Dr. Neville Brooke's Pharmacology class, and he asked a question for us to answer, so this one girl started to say something, but then another girl was excited, and said, "Oh, yeah," and started to babble some incoherent answer, but then realized she still didn't know the answer, so the first girl started again, and then second girl did it again. Finally, it happened a third time, and the first girl who still knew the answer gave up with an exasperated roll of her eyes. Dr. Brookes looked at us, and I said, "So...I still don't know the answer." Everyone looked at each other, unsure what to do, and I got one of those quiet fits of laughter and my face turned red trying to control it, so then I woke up.

I look famous?

In my dream, I was watching this fight on TV. Then I changed the channel and there was another fight between 2 baseball players after a game. I thought someone was gonna stop it or they were gonna kill each other because they were exchanging blows and doing WWF moves on each other. Then I was there and a TV reporter asked me who I was and moved me so I'd be behind the fighters in the camera. I tried to brush it off, but she said, No, no, who are you? Then I said, Peter Hecker, and she, Oh-ed in fake realization. Then I continued explaining, "I went to Brigham Young, and..."

I dreamed I wrote my dream in my dream journal. Then I woke up and wrote this down

Being held captive

I dreamed I was being held captive by the devil. He had funny books like Hell goes Hell and Things you don't show the family after the operation, a picture book depicting gruesome scenes. Then I discovered the fireplace was not real and was an illusion, and I escaped that way. He was my friend before. I didn't know why he was holding me captive.
I think in real life, the devil uses illusions, and we only hold ourselves captive.

Snowing!

I got to school late, but we were all happy because I got to tell everyone it was snowing! I think I was in elementary school

I'm better looking

I dreamed we were driving up this hill really slow because my mom was driving and we were in a really old suburban, but we got there at this really rich place, and it was really awkward because there was no one there since the people were at church, but then my mom started cooking and some people came and talked to us from one of the rooms. There were 2 girls. While my sister reallized she went to jr. high with one of them, I talked to the one from Russia. Then she said we were twins and I said, "I'm better looking, but she's taller." (Neither is true in real life.) Then everyone was talking loudly and having a good time.

Flexing while selling Kyani?

So in real life, my friend Reed is doing this network marketing thing called Kyani. Last night I dreamed that I went door-to-door selling Kyani with him. It was miserable. We walked into a house. The couple came out an said they called 911 and then thought they didn't want to pay for it and cancelled (Do you have to pay for 911 to arrest people?) To break the ice, I asked, "Are you fitness people?" after they let us sit down. They said, "yes, in just about every kind of fitness." Then I started flexing for them and I was huge.

Everyone wants my attention

In my dream I talked to this girl on the phone. She told me I need to listen better, and was angry. It was difficult for me though because I had a million distractions and my family was trying to get me to come eat.

Speak your words

Me and this guy were trying to kill each other in my dream. It was like Bourne Identity. We were fighting. Then I went on this train and started speaking to the passengers. I inspired them with my words. Then the guy came and caught up with me. He wanted to kill me, but I gave a speech to him in front of all the people on the train, saying, "They think you're a punk," and I hid behind the door so he couldn't shoot me from where he was. I said, "Speak your words, for we are those of hope and pride," and then I woke up. Wild!

I made up a joke in my sleep not too long ago: What do you get when you cross a news anchor with a stock salesman? Broking news!!!

War poem

About a week ago, I had this dream: I heard the voice of a man say a poem in the most solemn voice. There was no joy in it, only anger for what had been done and for death that had come to many too quickly-

War

When we're quiet with words

Because we lay in their name

And here it left us.

The beginning

So this is the beginning of my blog. I don't know why I'm doing it, but it will be fun. It's called, Peter's Dream Blog, because all of the entries hereafter will have something to do with my dreams. I am going to put some good dreams I've had, and then I will add them as they come...
