Hearing Dreaming of Me -- Depeche Mode
For last week's Weekend Assignment, I asked folks to share some strange, recent dreams they had. Here's what people woke up to tell us:

Princesssaurora has vampires! Vampires of the Caribbean!

Lurkynat's dream features a boa, and not the feathery kind, either.

Pyromaniac ex-girlfriend dreams? Dpoem's got you covered.

Camaroisle050856's dream has Russian secret agents. And, naturally enough, vodka.

Jmorancoyle goes to a party in a cemetary. Like you do.

Deslily has a conversation with a famous person in a crowded restaurant.

Aurielalata's dreams are a little dark. But then she thinks of David Duchovny, so that's all right.

Tjones5516 hosts a star-studded Halloween party.

Ikoiko33 dreams of the departed.

Ellipsis dreams of Barry Manilow brand lima beans. Man, that's weird.

Mavarin works on having a dream for the assignment. That's dedication!

That's a monster outside in Pandorasbazaar's dream! Quick! To the windows!

Tendernoggle has a bittersweet dream.

Dailysnooze explains why strange dreams were once the least of his problems.

Coelha dreams of man-eating bulls. Strangely enough, as a child my wife had a recurring dream of man-eating cows. Whoa!

Some excellent strangeness here, folks. Thanks for sharing. Sleep well!

  I've done that several times. I dream that I'm asleep and can't wake up when I'm actually asleep and can't wake up. It's sort of a Catch-22 sort of dream.  Even worse is when I dream that I get up, and get ready for the day, and then someone wakes me up and tells me I'm late.
  
  And they say that dreaming is healthy!

  I had a dream that I was sleeping once.  My head STILL isn't capable of processing that one.

  Ever have a dream... then you wake up, and reality is stranger than the dream? About once a season here... including my birthday, where I awoke to a camera going off, then a 3 year old landing on my chest.
