Weird Dream's W/Hercpt or Tamox Anyone?

I had weird dreams all night that kept waking me up!! They were very vivid and seemed very real!

One the world was coming to an end and the world was broken off in sections. There was fire everywhere and I kept running from the fire to the different parts of the groups. One group was cowboys, a group of kids, groups of women...Oprah even showed up and she was dressed like she was on the Color Purple. There was a very limited supply of food or water! I woke up at midnight and VERY thirsty, but my nose was stuffy, and I was sleeping with my mouth open (Drank bottled water and ate a plum since I was up). The town alarm was going off and that was the first time I woke up.

Then another time I woke up it was like I was in that chemo fog where you feel like you are laying there and looking at your own body. If felt so real and it was like I was having chemo all over again.

I had to get up and shake it off!

Needless to say when my alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. I pressed snooze. On a positive note with short hair I don't really fix it after the shower, so I can sleep longer!! But I seem to push that snooze until the last minute then I am rushing around like there is no tommorrow to get ready for work. Good thing I am only 7 minutes from work I left at 7:15 and even had time to fill up my gas tank.

Oh, I know an instructor who would just love for you to be in his Dreamworks class. I bet one of my former classmates took it = let me see if anyone can add insight.

Re: Weird Dream's W/Hercpt or Tamox Anyone?

I made it simple in that post but it was awful!! Little kids that were all dressed up like on Little House on the Prairie. And we only had one drink in a pixie cup that we all had to share. Then part of the kids were tricked into going in this big group because this leader said he had drinks for everyone, and I was telling them don't go it was a trick but they were kids and all thirsty. It was kool-aide that was going to kill them all but the world was so over poplulated they had to do something because not enough food and water to go around. I was helping a couple kids run away and hide so it was running and hiding all night.

There were rich and poor cowboys that were cantaring on horses at high speed and tents were everywhere like in third world countaries. However, the rich cowboys had really pretty horses, lived in log cabins, and had long, windy, graveled driveways. But they weren't safe either because these long sticks like tiki torches were hurled at the cabins and were burning them up. Oh and among the tents there were tables set up with linen clothes like people were going to sit down and eat, but most were empty. Then I would get to next group and they were so tired from running they sat down at these tables. Then this guy would come around with one piece of food like it was a black market and they all took a bite.

All the groups were then getting mixed up. Since the world was ending these groups were trying to kill one another and then it would get confusing for me in my dream to know who was in what group.
