Last night was restless and in turn, I overslept. Le sigh. However, I think that I can blame today’s uber-tiredness on one of the strangest dreams ever. You see, I dream every night, no ifs, ands, or buts about it, and they all usually include the following elements:
- Running from a dangerous situation
- Running to save someone
- A celebrity (Chicken Face makes horrible fun of me for this element)
So while this may be the most random blog post ever, allow me to share with you last night’s adventure and perhaps you can be my dream interpreter for the day. WARNING: DREAM INCLUDES A MAD MEN SEASON 1 SPOILER!
True to Leo’s Inception theory, I don’t know how the dream began but I was at a huge social media conference that was taking place at a high school/mega gym (don’t question…just go with it). I remember walking into the gym and wondering when I was going to find time to fit a run in. Truth be told, I wasn’t going to be able to so I started searching for my iPhone to do a Nike Training Club workout and earn some badges (who am I – a girl scout?). I ended up trying to do a workout on a balance beam (um, ya, I tried balance beam when I was eight. I failed miserably), but soon found myself at a booth in the conference.
All of a sudden, I look up at the booth and it’s Meghann from Meals and Miles (yes, I stalk her blog but she has no idea who I am in real life). She was eating Greek yogurt and then managed to cook a five course meal with exotic ingredients all on a hot plate at her conference booth. I was impressed and apparently went to go buy some Thai food. Flash forward and I was divvying up the Thai food between Chicken Face and I when Pete Campbell from Mad Men showed up looking more jerk-like than ever (yes, this is the celebrity appearance). He was making fun of my mounds of Thai food so I immediately screamed at him and said, “How could you do that to Peggy Olsen?!?!” His retort included, “That food won’t be good for the baby!” (No, I’m not pregnant…just watch the show). I then stammered on about love children and proceeded to try and run/escape him and his wrath.
The dream concluded with an elaborate plot to escape the gym by doing an obstacle course, rescuing my iPhone from a mini-fridge, writing a birthday card for the copywriter I work with (who in real life strangely used to work for Papyrus) and eating copious amount of Thai food.
I have no explanation for this. What do your crazy dreams usually consist of?
In other adorable news (and because I hate blog posts without photos), here’s one of the cutest photos you may see all week: park time!
Happy running!

I’m not gonna lie, I got lost trying to follow that dream, as I do with most of my own dreams. Did you eat thai food right before bed? hahaha
But on that note, I’m reminded to watch Inception again, as well as all seasons of Mad Men.
This is AMAZING! I had a really restless night of sleep two nights ago and I also had crazy dreams! There was some sort of crazy scheme where people got me involved in some drug ring, except I didn’t know it was a drug ring and then once it was exposed the mastermind behind it all fled the country. I woke up freaking out! I really wish I could have had Pete Campbell in my dream and I could have given him a piece of my mind, that’s much cooler than my crazy dream!
PS Lola is just the cutest 🙂
omg Lola is too cute!
weird! i almost never dream. your dreams sound exhausting!
Lola is adorable! And I had the strangest dream on the weekend. Here’s my dream in a nutshell: Lil Wayne was interrogating me for some unknown reason and then when I was running away from him I tried to go on the subway but it turned into a rollercoaster. SO strange! And then the next night I had that dream where your teeth fall out. Uggh–so gross because it feels so real!
Such a cute pic of Lola! 🙂
My dreams usually consist of running and work! I always have weird work nightmares. Seriously, so random! or Eating. HAHAHA
Awww love your puppy he’s so cute.
I dont dream every night but every now and then i have recurring dreams of not being able to hit the breaks in a car or the breaks not working.
bahahahaha I have these really strange SUPER DUPER detailed dreams too. What’s wrong with our brains?!?!??
First of all, that picture is so adorable! I want to scoop her up!
Secondly, I can’t believe you dream every night! I go through periods of time where I have very vivid dreams for like a week straight, and then I stop. But like you, they’re usually about running. The absolute worst is when I’m trying to run from someone or race someone and I just can’t move my legs. I have to push off the ground with my arms to get myself going — it’s an awful feeling. Anyway, that dream was definitely crazy random but I love that you remember it so vividly. And I love the Pete Campbell/Mad Men appearance (one of my favorite shows!).
That is the best ever photo! I really need to meet Lola someday!
Hahaha. Random dreams are quite entertaining. I’m impressed you remembered so many details.
Hahaha! I LOVE this post! First off – your dog is ADORABLE! Holy crap! And your dream is hilarious! Don’t you love how random dreams are like that? Here’s my super deep interpretation… Sounds like you’re busy and trying to figure out how to fit in your job, marathon training, eating well and blogging. The good news is you’re apparently not only fitting all that in, but also fitting in enough sleep. Otherwise you would sleep deeper and have no memory of your dreams. Keep up the good work!
