Random Dream

It was the strangest thing. Last night I had a completely random dream. Nothing but unintelligible shapes and random words strung together. It was a little enervating, the whole thing had a feeling of distress, like it should have made sense but didn't. I woke up wondering if I'd intercepted a message from space.

It was bookended by other stress dreams, but more conventional ones. A dream return to college, which a common dream setting, including a big old organ in the second floor in the back of the huge lecture hall across from my old dorm, and a wander around looking at how the people were all so strange looking but so recognizable as being from my school — totally weird and totally familiar at the same time, look looking at fashion trends you recognize as being a trend by their ubiquity but have never seen before — and having no luck finding anyone I knew. It was a long one, lots of wandering around, across field and up to rooftops.

The closing bookmark was a weird stress dream. Stuck in a highrise, planning a hiking trip around a head of land that has appeared in many other dreams, when struck by a flood that reached 12 or 14 stories. Everybody gathering to watch movies in a higher up apartment. Being panicked by an alligator that found its way in through the elevator.

All very vivid and very intense, probably due to the fact that I had insomnia until 6AM.

But, in the middle, that strange jumbled dream, just nonsense phrases and shapes, and the enervating feeling that everything shouldn't not make sense.
