Hi Kevin
Quite ironic. My friend Taylor tends bar at 4-5's. Shes a Sweatheart! The American Legion, where one meets his friends for brunch on a Saturday or a Sunday.
Took my Great Niece CC to the Galleria in Edina, to see all the Easter Flower attractions on display Saturday, just to see the Delight on her face.
My little sweetie has nothing to worry about in her lifetime on my watch
My niece Rachel, her Mom, was there too of course. It's a Fancy Lad Mall, and we passed the store, Coach.
Do you want a thousand dollar purse or more Rachel, she heard me say. My niece Rachel is sharp, and she immediately replied, "Yeah right, a step down from a $90,000 BMW Station Wagon, just to haul a bunch of cheap crap around town"
Busted a gut, just love those Kids

SeeYou190Meanwhile, I am completely left out of the conversation because she is not my friend.
Nah, nothing to do with her not being your friend.
You were probably left out of the conversation because your brain subconciously told your dream generator that purses were not your bag.
I finally read this entire thread.
NittanyLionI almost never wake up remembering dreams. Sometimes I wish I could.
I do not frequently remember my dreams, but when I do, it is vivid.
Attuvian1Hey, TF, did you contact Kevin? I hear he has a stock as a contingency .
Of course I do. I have more Evergreen on hand than most hobby shops!
One of the commonly recurring theme in my dreams is conversations about Taylor Swift, and I don't really know why.
In my "Dreamland Cinemetic Omniverse" everybody is close friends with Taylor Swift except me. She also never actually appears in my dreams, but is only a topic of brief discussion. This has been going on for over a decade.
It might go like this... we are sitting at a table eating lunch...
TF: "Hey, I heard from Taylor last night, it has been a while."
ED: "She called me too, did she tell you about her new purse?"
Peter: "Did she get the one with the studded flap she was talking about?"
TF: "No, she bought the gray one."
ED: "That make sense, she can use a gray purse more often."
Meanwhile, I am completely left out of the conversation because she is not my friend.
How weird is that?

Living the dream.
Indirectly. I had a dream shortly after I bought my house that the garage (where my layout is) had been leveled - don't remember by what. I was mourning the loss and walking around town and seeing marquees of businesses that were long gone and realizing that it wasn't current. (I had been told that the south garage wall had been damaged by rollaway vehicles from the school farm shop across the alley mutiple times.)
Evening.....

All the golf jokes I know would be inappropriate for this forum.
Water Level Route John-NYBW I won't bore everyone with my golf dreams but most of them follow one of three themes. Shooting under par, shooting par, shooting over par?

Nothing that mundane. I've done all three of those for real. My golf dreams border on bizarre. The most common being faced with an impossible shot from a ridiculous situation. Another is holing out a shot after it inexpicably rolls past the hole several times. The third is playing golf with somebody famous, usually a star player, although once I played with Donald Trump.
Track fiddler Interesting Mister B. One day, I'd cut a piece of 283 H channel styrene too short and discovered it was my last piece. Ran to the hobby store, a bit devastated to find out they didn't have any either. Have you ever had one of those repeating dreams that goes in a circle, over and over all night long? The repeating dream was looking through all my many bags of styrene, over and over looking for that one piece of 283. Never did find it TF

Overmod I doubt there is 1 in a thousand in the entire continent of Africa that knows what 283 styrene is,
That's EvergreenScaleModels H-column, 14 inches long, 0.100 high.
I thought everyone in the world knew what that was.
I actually have far more golf dreams than train dreams which is why the one in the OP stood out for me. I won't bore everyone with my golf dreams but most of them follow one of three themes.
Track fiddler Overmod Congratulations! My daughter and I have had a running competition for a while, to come up with the most egregious 'first world problem'. This hits it out of the park... So all the world's problems, may have very well stemmed from my running out of 283 that day? Good Grief Overmod! Do ya suppose I'll be able to sleep well, without having any nightmares tonight?

I've only had one and it was when I was a kid. I vividly remember it to this day. My best friend and I were outside riding our bikes when a train went rolling across the road in front of us. It was my train on my model railroad, and I realised we were on my model railroad. Kind of a "Honey, I shrunk the kids" moment. I woke up shortly after I realised in the dream what was happening. Too bad. That would have been kind of fun.
Good morning

Well as for train dreams.... not recurring but very similar. I have had this dream where I get to a train show late and there is nothing there or it is all in the wrong scale or the show is supposed to be train related and there are no trains....come to think of it that's not a dream but a nightmare.

My recurring theme dream is working in produce department in grocery stores. I did that for about 15 yrs. Its always that I cant get to the product that needs to pe put out. Different stores, some not even real.
Got out of produce, did floor maint for 26 years. Still have the produce dreams.
No train dreams that I can recall. Dan
Never had a RR dream but before model RR sailing was my thing for over 30 years. I used to have dreams about haulout. First had to take down the mast. The leverage at the end of a 40' aluminum pole is amazing. Then had to lift a 3 ton boat suspended from slings and swing it around to drop precisely on a trailer. Had to lift it quite high as it had a 4' draft. Usually it was windy and cold and 4 guys holding ropes were needed to control the swing. When I sold the boat in 2009 the dreams stopped.

For all its failings, I do like this Forum as it allows for these topics of whimsey! (And too those who see this as a “major” irritation, simple, just don’t click on the topic!!)

MisterBeasleyAfter I got back into the hobby and actually built my own model subways, the dreams stopped completely.
And the nightmares began.
Like some easy medieval music amongst nights, peasants, court gestures and a king in his castle.
Here's a decent Jethro Tull Nightmare
One of four or five recurring dreams I had as a kid was of flames shooting up out of the ground next to the neighbor's shrubs and steam locos running up and down our street - without rails.

mbinsewi My dreams are still about being on a huge construction site, trying to get where the concrete pour is going on, and getting over all the obstacles that are put in my way. And I've been retired since 2011!

I've been retired since 2001 and I had an office job. I've had a recurring dream that I have project that is coming up on a deadline and I have done almost nothing on it and my boss is about to find out. The strange part is I have a different boss in every dream.
I almost never wake up remembering dreams. Sometimes I wish I could.
Years ago, long before retirement, I used to dream about subways. Not model ones, but real ones, and the dreams always involved MOW flat car trains running in the tunnels.
After I got back into the hobby and actually built my own model subways, the dreams stopped completely.
