Shiny New Taxi Cabs

 A bit of backstory before I describe this particular dream -- in mid-1990's, I lived in Boulder, Colorado, at an apartment hear Baseline Road and the highway 36. On the other side of the highway from my apartment is a rather large shopping center with a Safeway grocery store, restaurants, services and various stores, such as Michaels the craft store. I haven't been to Boulder for several years due to logistics (namely that it's a little far from Houston, Texas.)

In this dream, I'd returned to Boulder though I'm not sure if it's for visiting or to live. I decided to visit the Michaels store at the shopping center, and strolled there. Unfortunately, it turned out that Michaels store, , was gone. Instead, in its place was a snazzy storefront car dealer that specielized in nothing but brand-new taxi cabs. We're talking about the old-school yellow king with strips of black and yellow checks running along the sides and round corners. The kind that you'd see in Yew York City decades ago. Several of these cars were displayed inside the store under bright lights, and even one rotated slowly on a big turntable. I have no idea who would buy one of these things. Maybe someone pursuing a serious career in Uber or Lyft.

Note: after the dream, I looked up this Michaels store -- it was indeed gone from the center, having moved northward to a different area of Boulder. No idea what is in there now.

Borrowed Blue Shoes

 I seem to have so many dreams about amusement parks and roller coasters,

 even though i never worked at one. I do have a soft spot for amusement parks. Heck, this blog is named after one of these dreams. But, I won't waste time analyzing why in this particular post.

Singing Cowboys on a Track in a Tourist Trap Restaurant

Once I had a dream about what must be the oddest restaurant concept ever. I was visiting a touristy "ghost town" set in the mountains somewhere, and went into a big restaurant for lunch, that served BBQ or something that fit the Western theme. It was divided into several dining rooms, done in old-timey style. However, all the rooms were very tall, 2-story tall, for a specific. 

Creepy Stuffed Bears

One night I had a dream that seemed to be inspired by Dean Koontz novels. The dream involved stuffed bears that were alive and had human intelligence. They all looked like normal plush bears with plush "fur" varying from white to brown. Many of them wore little red knit ski caps.

Johnny Weir, Skater Turned Badass Hairstylist and Detective

Recently, I had a kind of funny dream about Johnny Weir, a free-spirit figure skater who had United States Figuring Skating officials tearing their hair out in his competition days. I have been a fan of his skating, and was sometimes frustrated that he had a lot of ups and downs and didn't quite reach his full potential. These days, he's a TV commentator for figure skating and other events.

A Vampire Goes on a Hot Date

 Since this is the month of tacky Halloween decorations and bags of little candies, it seems appropiate to post this dream involving a vampire.

I Go to a Job Interview in a Flying Car

This is one of my favorite dreams, simply because it was neat and had so much detail, almost a lucid dream. In the dream, I was supposed to show up for a job interview at some building in east Denver, where Stapleon Airport used to be during early evening when it was already dark. I was in Golden at the other side of Denver. Since it was rush traffic and to beat the traffic, I called a flying car to take me there.
