I can't remember one of mine, but I remember this one of his: My hubby was in college and staying at his grandparents' house one night. In the morning, his grandfather came in and started knocking on the headboard to wake him. All of a sudden in Hubby's dream, a giant tree springs up in front of him and someone is chopping it down with an axe. Happens to me and my husband.

I'll be playing soccer, and someone will run across the field yelling to me, "Jenny! It's time to get up! " or something like that. The weird thing that happens to me is that sometimes I dream my alarm is going off, and then I wake up to silence. It really stinks. Yeah, that happens to me all the time.

How serendipitous! Yes, I too, have someone in a dream spontaneously start singing a song, which, lo and behold, is the song on my radio alarm or something similar. It is good to not be alone on such *important* matters! I had this conversation with a friend just last night. How serendipitous!

It depends on what kind of alarm I have at the time - radio alarms sometimes get me backstage at a concert hall and getting to the stage where all the noise is coming from wakes me up. Can't remember what other alarms have done in the past. Happens to me sometimes – but it’s always pretty impressive and intricate.

Dreams, to me, help me grasp infinity. How else could my brain have an hour long-dream that culminates in a plot point involving a noise that ends up being my alarm clock, the little device that is ringing after I hit snooze nine minutes ago? How can an hour in my brain fit into nine minutes of "real time"? Absolutely. Dreams, to me, help me grasp infinity.
