Default Sarah was stolen last night!!!!!

What a nightmare!!!!! So glad to awake myself forcefully and see it wasn't true. What is going to worry me a bit now is, some of my dreams have turned into Deja Vu. I was out and about in unknown territory and I drove into this town and parked in one of three large parking lots. Went inside to buy something, came out, couldn't find Sarah anywhere. Started worrying, couldn't get help from anyone, people acted like they were all zombie Chevy owners, didn't give a shit. So glad to awake, went right out to garage and checked, yip, she's still there!!!!!

They can get worse.

Worked with a guy who told us the following morning that he attended his own funeral while sleeping.

He kept screaming at his naked body in the casket to get up.

He said he was so glad after his wife woke him up .... he was then about 25 years younger, wasn't naked, and at the very least, he was wearing pajamas.

What ever meds they are on, I don't want them.

Life is scary enough.

Maybe I need to hang out with the younger Corvette or Mustang crowd.

Exclamation Re: Sarah was stolen last night!!!!!

I played motorcycle hood for many years and during this time I rode and hung out with some pretty scary people. Bike thieving and the loss of your scooter was always on your mine. I had a dream once that my favorite H-D
(a '65 Panhead) was stolen. In the dream when I noticed my bike was gone. I just laughed, because I knew
I was in a dream!
And that the bike in reality was not stolen. Never
before or after have I had a dream where I know I'm dreaming while in the
dream. Weird!

Haha, Good one 31 Model A. I had a dream a while back. I was walking out my back door when I noticed my Town Sedan was GONE. Then I realized I wasn't dreaming.

I freaked out!!

After running around in a complete tizzy for ~ 5 minutes I found her "resting" in my neighbor's front yard. She backed out of my carport, made the turn in the driveway and stopped in front of my neighbor's front door. I guess she (the Town Sedan, not the neighbor) tried to go for a ride on her own.

Now I have NIGHTMARES about her trying it again...

I shipped a BMW back from Germany, sold it and regretted it. Many years later I would go out into a storage shed and find it sitting behind a stack of plywood. Drag it out, kick it over and it fired right off, after all those years. I was so happy............then I woke up! Had that dream over and over for years, finally broke down and bought another bike. No more dreams.

Hey fellas!!!! about five minutes after I posted this threat, my PC working system bit the dust. Windows XP...I'm up on a new PC with Windows 10 and it's a challenge getting use to everything new. I had planned on taking Sarah out since it's 76 degrees but had to run and get this taken care first. At least I'm back in contact with all my beloved Barner buddies. A lot of things are still waiting to be installed...this might take a few....years. Last year just before Larry came to get Sarah, my AC went out and had to be replaced and he did all the work last year for free....I wonder with this new PC expense if he'll do the same this year!!!!!!! I don't even have the smilies yet....I'm lost without smilies, everyone will start taking me serious with out my smilies!!!!

OH, I do have smilies...something new, they don't show until after I post!!!! OK, the seriousness has returned!!!

A while back, while I was in Europe for an extended period of time, my house was broken into and completely - and I do mean completely - cleaned out. I still find myself looking for things, Model A stuff included, that was taken in that burglary. Last month, I went searching for a certain NOS 1931 tie rod end but finally concluded it was no longer around here. Memory can be a nuisance.

Fellas!!! I wasn't pulling your leg when I said earlier that I've experienced a lot of deja vu in my lifetime, either from a dream, nightmare or from a prior life. Georgie Patton had the same kind of phenomenon during his last life. I can tell you what I was doing 200 years ago but I'll be damned if I can remember the lady's name who stopped by last night. One thing for sure, if ever I'm out and about with Sarah and I drive into a town with three parking lots filled with chevys and there zombie drivers walking around, I'm going to keep right on going.

Remember, DON'T take dreams too seriously, they're just the unconscious mind PLAYING with stored up FACTS. IF your unconscious mind went to SLEEP, you might NEVER WAKE UP!!!!

I have to agree with you Bill. The mind is sometimes a terrible thing to deal with. You remember things while awake you don't want to and at night it sometimes forces you to remember things you don't want to. Damned if you do and dammed if you don't!!!

Perhaps you might want to consult with a professional if it bothers you so much.

another great warm weekend is forecasted for next weekend. 67&73....maybe nothing will go wrong, break down or anyone mugged and I can get out and about. Sarah needs to be kept agile because we're leaving for the border 1 May, we want to be there for the Cinco de Mayo parties. Just found an old cavalry buddy of mine living in California. He got his marching orders also and we're going to meet up in San Angelo before joining our old regiment for duty patrolling the border .....again!!!!

So, Larry, she has to be up and ready to make that trip by 1 May!!!!!

I get DejaVu once a while. Usually its not so much words that people speak but actions or things happening that trigger it.

I dream almost every night if i fall asleep on my back - usually pretty vivid so i sleep on my sides of stomach and no dreams. Never anything too weird and i can generally tell when i am dreaming as physics always doesn't seem to exist in my dreams. (like gravity is a miss or newtons 3rd law doesnt seem to exist etc) So once i realize its a dream i just go along with it haha.

I'm FASCINTED at how the brain works??? And how everybodys' brain processes information DIFFERENTLY!
Just look at the DIFFERENT take offs that come up here, on DIFFERENT ways to fix or restore our Model A's.
I've learned WAY more here, than I've CONTRIBUTED!
If a day goes by without learning something NEW, I consider it a LOSS! NOW, I try just to recomember it ALL???---The DOG is my backup!
