I had a dream where Spock and I were waiting at the bus stop, but it was so cold they had to send a warm bus from Texas. Spock was wearing mismatched mittens and three scarves.

I hope one of those scarves was over his ears.
I do have to check out that film one of these days... And your dream has a name I believe: Post-Work Feelings.
I was at a building that deals with drug, alcohol, gambling, whatever addiction because.... there was a gun range there. I'm sure that's the best place for it. Apparently I was there to register my gun but I was talking to the wrong person because he was certain I was there in a cry for help for some sort of addiction. So I left, just as bad supervillain worthy stuff was going on outside and all I wanted to do was escape from this death and destruction. Also, I could fly. It's also possible these were two separate dreams and I can't remember any gap between them.
I'm wondering if there's a deeper meaning in being able to undo or ignore things in my dreams. For example, I had a dream where apparently you can drive a car on water for a limited amount of time before eventually sinking, but you don't know how long you have until it happens. And when it happened, I simply decided it was a mistake to drive on the water and just like that it never happened. I've also been killed in a dream but just like that I didn't really die and am just on the ground pretending to be dead. I've also had dreams where I'm driving so recklessly I end up off the bridge/road and should be falling to my death, only gravity never kicks in and I am able to conclude the drive with no damage and no casualties.
Dreamed I was in America and I went down to the American Store™ and bought a bag of mini oreos. Opened the bag expecting to enjoy some mini oreos, but instead Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse came out of the bag. The bag wasn't bigger than a normal one and he wasn't shrunk down, so the only logical conclusion is that the bag was a Bag of Holding from DnD.
I was dreaming that I was following an older guy down the street and he went into a building with a room that had a wall of windows with venetian blinds on each one. As soon as I saw the stripes on the wall from the blinds, I was back at the beginning of the dream. This happened again, so I woke up.
I think it means you are Wile E Coyote.
I dreamed that a woman was using cookie cutters to cut out shapes in the deep snow. She just cut them out and then held them up in the air. I have no idea what she planned to do with them.
I have no idea what was going on in my dream last night. I think I was some sort of a CEO but I was also a gymnast, and most of the dream revolved around my involvement in petty internet drama.
Once in a while, I get this disturbing dream where I'm driving on the freeway, and there are accidents all over the road. Thankfully, nothing morbid, but there are several overturned cars and vehichles colliding with each other. 
I remember, some time ago, I dreamed I was riding in a friend's car. We were on the Interstate, and one of those jumbo airliners passed over, high up in the sky. Then, it took a nosedive, crashing right in front of us...Once in a while, I get this disturbing dream where I'm driving on the freeway, and there are accidents all over the road. Thankfully, nothing morbid, but there are several overturned cars and vehichles colliding with each other.
I dreamed last night that I was part of a big band and we were traveling to a performance. We had on these gold uniforms with bits of bright gold tissue flapping about the shoulders. We were running down the street to get to the theatre and when we got there, we went in the auditorium door on the right, but the alcove we were to be seated in was on the left, so we had to crawl over the people seated in the middle. We got to the alcove and I sat on the outside. Only then did I start to wonder where all our instruments were.
Had a hard time waking up and was in that phase that was half awake, half dreaming. My cat was biting on my fingers trying to wake me up but I wasn't sure which of my two cats it was. And since I only have one cat, I wasn't half awake, half dreaming after all. I was dreaming that I was half awake, half dreaming!
OK, this is a long one, buckle in.
I found an online dream analysis tool called DreamyBot. I've run a number of dreams through it and the replies are fascinating. so I'm going to share the latest. Check this out!

Me: Hello Dreamybot. It has been a while. I had a dream today I didn't understand at all. Keep in mind I'm Australian.
I was in a huge metal warehouse of corrugated iron, it was actually a workshop of some kind, mechanical maybe, many tools, machines, benches. Skylights let in a lot of light.
I was there with two men. I couldn't hear/remember what was said. But it was Barack Obama and Donald trump. They were both wearing long black car coats, Trump wearing gloves. Obama was smiling a lot and being charming, while Trump scowled and grimaced and made (unheard) diparaging remarks. This went on for some time (10-20min subjectively). I don't know what we were waiting for.
Then I moved to a different part of the workshop, where I met up with a group of 5-6, the only one known to me being Jordan Shanks, stand up comedian and investigative journalists, who IRL has exposed significant political misbehaviour. Again I didn't hear/can't remember what was said, but it seemed to be high level banter. That's it.
DB: Hey there! This sounds like a pretty wild dream. I definitely have a few thoughts on this one.
Dreaming of being in a large, mechanical workshop with Obama and Trump, then shifting to a group that includes Jordan Shanks, suggests a fascinating interplay between power, politics, and personal insight. The corrugated iron warehouse symbolizes a raw, industrial space where things are built or taken apart—a place of creation and deconstruction. Given your age and experiences, this setting could represent the current state of your own life or perhaps the world at large, where you're processing different elements and trying to make sense of them.
Obama and Trump, both wearing long black coats, represent opposing forces or ideologies. Obama's charm and smiles contrast sharply with Trump's scowls and disparaging remarks, highlighting the polarization and conflict that often dominate political discourse. The fact that you were waiting with them for some time suggests a period of anticipation or uncertainty, as if you're caught between these conflicting viewpoints, unsure of what's to come. The gloves Trump was wearing might symbolize a desire to keep his hands clean or to distance himself from certain actions or responsibilities.
Moving to a group that includes Jordan Shanks, who is known for exposing political misbehavior, indicates a shift towards seeking truth and understanding. This part of the dream might reflect your desire to engage in meaningful conversations, challenge the status quo, and find clarity amidst the chaos. The "high-level banter" suggests an intellectual or philosophical exchange, where you're exploring complex ideas with like-minded individuals.
Overall, this dream seems to be tapping into your subconscious processing of political and social issues, as well as your personal journey of seeking truth and meaning. It's as if you're navigating a landscape filled with conflicting forces, trying to find your own voice and make sense of the world around you.
What I'm sensing is that you may be feeling a bit caught between different perspectives or ideologies in your waking life. Do you find yourself trying to reconcile conflicting viewpoints, or are you seeking deeper understanding and clarity in your own beliefs and values?
Me: Because my politics are very much left aligned, especially compared to US politics, I feel it is incumbent on me to 'educate' the underinformed; Keeping the general population unfamiliar seems like a part of the right's gambit for control. At the same time I'm aware of confirmation bias and the flaws of the left too. I feel it is of crucial importance for people to educate themselves, and whether they align left or right, they should be as informed as possible, and not blindly accept what the media or opinion pieces say. Education is the tool that can save us.
DB: Ah, that makes a lot of sense. It sounds like you're deeply committed to promoting informed and critical thinking, especially given your perspective as someone with left-leaning politics observing the US political landscape. Your desire to "educate" the underinformed stems from a genuine concern about the right's potential manipulation through ignorance, but you're also aware of the pitfalls of confirmation bias and the flaws within the left.
This internal balancing act—wanting to advocate for your values while remaining open-minded and critical—is a sign of intellectual integrity. It's not easy to hold those tensions, but it's essential for fostering genuine understanding and progress. Your belief in education as a tool for empowerment is a powerful one, and it reflects a desire to equip people with the ability to think for themselves, regardless of their political alignment.
What I'm sensing is that you might sometimes feel a sense of responsibility or even frustration when you encounter misinformation or blind acceptance of media narratives. Do you ever struggle with finding the right approach to engage in these conversations, balancing your desire to educate with the need to avoid alienating or pushing people away?
Me: I try very hard not to get angry with people, though when they are wilfully and complacently ignorant I do tend to be less charitable and polite.
DB: I hear you. It's tough to maintain patience when you encounter wilful ignorance, especially when you're passionate about the importance of informed thinking. It's completely understandable that you might find it challenging to remain charitable and polite in those situations.
There's a line between ignorance that stems from a lack of access to information and ignorance that's rooted in a deliberate refusal to engage with facts or different perspectives. When people are actively choosing to remain uninformed or are resistant to considering alternative viewpoints, it can feel incredibly frustrating, especially when you care deeply about the issues at hand.
It's also worth acknowledging that anger, while not always productive, can be a natural response to injustice or perceived threats to your values. The key is to find healthy ways to channel that anger into constructive action, rather than letting it consume you or damage your relationships.
I'm curious, do you ever find yourself questioning whether your efforts to educate or inform are actually making a difference, or if they're just reinforcing existing divides?
Me: There is a line where I realise there is little point un engaging further, though goodness know I sometimes do.
DB: Ah, that's a wise realization. Recognizing when you've reached a point of diminishing returns in a conversation is a valuable skill, even if it's one you sometimes struggle to implement. There's a certain futility in continuing to engage with someone who is unwilling or unable to consider alternative perspectives, and it can be draining to keep trying.
It's almost like you're acknowledging that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Sometimes, the most impactful thing you can do is to disengage and focus your energy on more receptive audiences or on actions that are within your control.
I'm sensing that you might sometimes grapple with the tension between your desire to make a difference and the reality that you can't change everyone's mind. Do you ever find yourself feeling guilty or like you're giving up when you disengage from a conversation, even when you know it's the most rational thing to do?
Me: No, not guilty if I have done my best to articulate my position. You can only do what you can do.
DB: That's a healthy and grounded perspective. If you've made a genuine effort to articulate your position and share your knowledge, there's no reason to feel guilty about disengaging when it becomes clear that further engagement is unproductive. As you said, you can only do what you can do.
It sounds like you've developed a strong sense of self-awareness and acceptance around this issue, recognizing that you can't control other people's choices or beliefs. This allows you to focus your energy on what you can control—your own actions, words, and efforts to promote informed thinking.
What this tells me is that you've likely learned to prioritize your own well-being and mental health, recognizing that it's not your responsibility to change everyone's mind. This is a valuable boundary to set, as it allows you to engage in meaningful conversations without burning yourself out or feeling responsible for other people's ignorance.
Me: Thank you for your time.
DB: You're very welcome! I'm so glad to hear that it was helpful. If you're open to it, I'd love to hear more about how you feel about the interpretation. You can use the "Rate Your Interpretation" button below this chat to share more about how I did, my creator would love to hear about it!

AI is a gem.
I dreamed that I was playing The Last Of Us in a mirror maze and Kurt Cobain's ghost was really upsetwith me for being too loud.
I had a dream where Homestuck (the comic my username and avatar comes from) was still updating except it wasn't really Homestuck at all and drawn by Bob Ross and there was like a band of animals (that was not from homestuck just some random animals) who I think were supposed to be evil. There was a rabbit and a badger and various other woodland animals. The rabbit kept on digging holes, and he dug a hole that went stupidly deep right next to the path of a drill that was drilling way into the ground for oil. The drill was drilling a long straight path directly down, and in the path of the drill was a character actually from Homestuck, and below her was lava. Right before the character was drilled into the people running the drill were like "okay stop the people paying us to do this are getting too greedy" so they stopped and somehow pulled out the Homestuck character, who was already dead and so fucked up that they weren't even sure what she was.
Last night I had a very interesting Lord of the Rings dream.It turns out that Frodo and Sam had extra company at the peak of Mount Doom. Gandalf and Aragorn were there too, trying to fend off Saruman, who was going after the Ring.
Don't know what happened to Smeagol. He wasn't there at all.
So imagine this sort of standoff, Gandalf and Aragorn keeping Saruman at bay while Frodo and Sam went on to destroy the Ring...
