These are narrative descriptions of dreams that Laurel Wilson has had about the tv series Miracles and its actors. Just to note, I use a lot of emoticons when talking about things that concern myself. Most of them are self-explanatory, but this one might confuse some: XD Look at it from the side. It's a person who has laughed so hard they died. Please also note that these are just dreams. They bear no actual reflection on the actors they are about. Don't we all dream about famous people from time to time? :)

Last night I dreamed I was a member of the team (SQ), and Alva was teaching a class. Paul and I had to tell him something all important and supernatural, so Paul pretty much just walks right into the class and sits in the back, and I stand in the doorway peeking in until Alva looks at me and kind of waves me in with a "you're not interrupting the class, we're just bs - ing" smile. I went in and sat next to Paul, and then my alarm woke me up.

This dream is Rated R.
I had a really yummy dream last night about actor Angus Macfadyen. In the dream, we were dating, and hanging out at one of his ex-girlfriend's apartments because he was still good friends with her. She kept teasing us about our intimate habits, for which I said, "Oh, so she's your evil ex-girlfriend." (I must've been friends with her too, because I felt no anger or jealousness toward her.) Apparently Angus and I had watched some nature special and the part where ducks were shown mating turned us on (LOL), so we did it (which was accompanied by a hot flashback where I was on top), and then he told her about it. So she was teasing about renting some "duck porn" for us. XD
The next part of the dream had Angus and I cuddled up on the couch to chat and watch tv. I was looking at some Bon Jovi CD I bought so we got into a conversation about the music I grew up with and how I still listen to most of it. He thought it was pretty funny in a cute way. It was one of those dreams that feels so real you can remember what the couch felt like, and his shirt, and so on. Niiiiiiiice... I can always go for those kinds of dreams. They leave me feeling all warm and smiley all day.

Woo, had a really upsetting dream last night, or at least upsetting by my standards. Usually I'd assign this label to a dream about me having cancer or someone dying, but this dream was about MIRACLES! So I feel very silly about it, but damn it, this would be very upsetting to me.
In the dream, Miracles had been picked up by some overly Christian cable channel, which was weird to begin with since it's not really a religious show. I stumbled on it while flipping channels and I was like, "Why didn't I hear about this? I must tell everyone on the net that the show has been saved!" Then I started to watch it; it was an all new episode that had obviously been made recently. It was supposed to be the next episode after "You Are My Sunshine." The upsetting thing was SKEET ULRICH WASN'T IN IT! He had been replaced by some other actor who was REALLY UGLY, and all the other characters were calling him PAUL as if we weren't supposed to notice that it was a different actor. I started getting really upset and yelling at the tv screen because I just couldn't believe it. They had ruined one of my very favorite shows! I was like noooooo, I can't watch this show and have THAT be my main hero. It's like Indiana Jones being played by Pauly Shore, to me. I kept saying what was the point of saving the show if Skeet Ulrich wasn't going to come back? No point, I tells ya!
The dream didn't even make sense because the production company made 13 episodes with all the original actors, so if they were showing the episode after "YAMS," Skeet would be in it. But it's a dream, dreams don't care about reality. All the actors have such great chemistry, I can't see changing any of them, so it would upset me quite a bit if something like this happened in real life. Especially if one of the actors was replaced with someone who's all popular but SUCKS. Oooooh that would just KILL the show for me.
Heehee, I kept watching the show in the dream to see if they had changed any more of the actors, and when Angus came on, his hair was all swept up like he'd been standing on top of a wind tunnel. XD God, he looked funny.

I was in the kitchen cooking, and Kaye (friend of mine) was in my living room watching one of the unaired episodes of Miracles on vcd, which would be impossible since I didn't have a dvd player at the time, but I digress. I was listening to it. In the scene, some grocer was going out of business, and Alva had bought some bananas from him. Evie was bitching him out for being cheap about the bananas, since the guy was going out of business. Alva defended himself, since a customer should always get what they pay for. The sign advertised five bananas, but the grocer had tried to sell him three instead. Alva had insisted that he get all five nanners. That's it. WOO, that's some action in that show! XD Makes sense though, since Alva has been portrayed on the show as being a little pennypincher-ish.
August 19, 2003
This dream was obviously touched off by the contents of "Paul is Dead." Paul and Alva were going somewhere related to SQ business; I don't know if Evie was with them or not. Both guys were in the front seat of a Bronco-type car. Paul kept picking up hitchhikers. Alva kept falling asleep on the hitchhikers' shoulders. There was one point where he was sleeping with his THUMB in his MOUTH (he's a grown man, LOL!). That cracks me up. Anyway, Paul kept asking the hitchhikers if they'd do him a favor and KILL him.
"Hey, will you do me a favor?"
"What?"
"Will you kill me? I gotta go talk to Tommy."
"...... NO."
"..... You sure?"
"I'm QUITE sure."
".... okay, thanks for considering it." XD XD XD

A dream of Angus and... Sadako?
I had another "Miracles" dream this week, I think it was Wednesday. For some reason it's still an interesting dream to me so I thought I should write about it. I'm not really sure why though. Maybe I'll understand it later.
Anyway, me and a bunch of people were playing some game, I really don't know what. But it involved running around my house, outside, in the dark. The garage was open (both doors) and the lights were on, so it must've been "home base." I had hidden this little statue that reminded me of Sadako from the Ringu movies in the mailbox, and I think finding this statue had something to do with the game. She was inside a black trash bag. There was a second statue in an identical bag hidden somewhere else.
So, Angus was a friend of mine, and he was playing the game with us. He comes running around the house with one of the trash bags in his hand and I'm like, "Gaaaah, is that the Sadako statue?" and I try to grab it out of his hand. To keep me from getting it, he throws the bag toward the front of the garage and the statue inside shatters. I got really upset and started yelling at him, stuff like if that was the Sadako statue that he just broke, I was very mad at him, why did he do that, so on. Apparently the other statue didn't mean anything to me, but the Sadako one did. I start to go check which statue it was in the bag and Angus, obviously upset at what he just did, runs to his car and goes to drive off because he doesn't want to deal with me being upset. I run up to the car and start yelling at the window that if he leaves now, that will make me even more upset because he should stay and face me. "If you leave now and it turns out that's the Sadako statue in the bag, I will be even more upset with you than I am now, so you better just turn off that car or you know what will happen!" Stuff like that. I'm just screaming and pointing into the garage and practically jumping up and down, but he drives off anyway.
Next "scene," I'm in the downstairs living room which looks completely different, but I knew it was the downstairs living room anyway, and I'm sitting on the couch crying over pieces of the statue. Angus comes in and sits down and apologizes for breaking it. Then he asks me why the statue meant so much to me, and I replied, "Because ________ gave it to me before he committed suicide." I have no idea what name I said, it wasn't anyone I knew, or I'd remember it. I know it was just some really generic male name (because if it had been weird, I probably would remember it too). He put his arm around me with this really sympathetic look on his face, then I woke up.
I know that most people who know about Muzzy would say that maybe I said Paul or Muzzy, because he's the only person I ever knew personally who committed suicide. But I don't think that's the name I said. (I mean my friend Paul here, not the character on the show.)
I'm not sure why this dream is sticking in my head, maybe because it seems to be full of symbols.

Last night I dreamed about Paul and Alva going on a case, but I cannot remember any of the details. All I remember is that things that have been said about Paul being too whiny crept into my dream, because every word that came out of Paul's mouth was heavily whined. XD I remember Alva giving him a list of questions to ask, and Paul replies, "Ohhhhhh, whyyyy do I have to ask theeeeeese questions? They're soooooo embarrassiiiiiiiing..." And there was one moment where Evie asked Paul if he wanted any coffee, and he goes, "Yeeeeees, I would like some coffeeeeee," still whining. XD
I am LOL over this one.
December 21, 2003
I dreamed that Rich (Hatem) was going to make a Miracles movie instead of more seasons. He was trying to get Skeet, Angus, and Marisa to appear in it, and it was going to be "The Ferguson Syndrome" (that story) with another 45 minutes that would explain why Paul's so special and what part he plays in the Apocalypse. But that dream ended before I found out anything more.
I heard all of this announced over the radio while I was shopping in some store in the mall. Looking at plastic handbags. O_o?

Dreamed I was making an FAQ for my fanfic site (this one), and I posted about it on a message board. Some girl I don't know at all came on the board and started telling me that "rule 18 needs to be changed this way" and all she got back was a mouthful of attitude. XD I don't mind suggestions for things like that, but someone telling me what to do, on my own site... grrrrrrrr.
February 1, 2004
I was in the hospital on this night with a gall stone, and I had two dreams about Skeet Ulrich. The nurses kept waking me up to take my vitals, so I can remember more than one dream that I had.
I dreamed I was in a hotel room watching a new movie Skeet Ulrich had made on the hotel tv. It was some comedy that mostly took place in an 18-wheeler; maybe it was Chill Factor 2? :D At the end, they showed bloopers in the credits, and then these three babies, and someone else in the room whom I really don't know who it was informed me that the first two babies were Skeet's twins, and the last baby was "his kid from his first marriage." Which of course makes no sense; he's only been married once and is still married, and even so, why would the baby from the first marriage still be a baby? All three kids were the same size. Silly brain. :D Then, the movie lapped itself and had a new ending in which the 18-wheeler blew up (the bad guys had stolen it, and they blew up in it), catching a hotel on fire, and Skeet and some other actor were helping people get out of the hotel. It turned into my hotel being the one that was on fire (like the movie suddenly came to life), so me and my friend ran downstairs to the lobby. I remember seeing the pretty lobby furniture (it was a really fancy hotel) before I was awakened for one reason or another.
Dream 2: I was in my hospital room with most of the lights off, so I could really only see Skeet in silhouette, but I knew it was him. He came into my room stark naked (ROFL!), came to the side of the bed, checked my forehead for fever with the back of his hand, and then touched my face in this really concerned way. He looked the way he did in Touch. (And he did appear naked in that movie, which could explain this whole dream, heehee!) That's it. Now THAT'S some nice bedside manner! Paging Dr. Ulrich! XD Or was I hoping Juvenal would heal me? ;D
February 3, 2004
It started out as a Miracles dream, then turned into a slasher film! I can't even remember most of it now, just remember that SQ was working on a case, and they were in a big hurry. Something about a killer on the loose. The dream was like a movie and was also really happening to me; I kept reacting to things as if I was playing a part, but watching the events play out as in a film, too. It's very hard to explain; I hope that makes sense.
Me and a bunch of other people (whom I did not recognize) were involved in the investigation. Alva, wearing this long black leather coat, waited in the parking lot for Paul and Evie to arrive, while chatting with all the various people. They get there on a RIDING LAWNMOWER (ROFL!). Paul is driving, wearing a mask that looks like a blonde woman. Evie is sitting on the mower behind him, wearing some other type of mask. They get off the mower and remove the masks, and start talking to Alva.
For some reason, myself and another girl go into the apartment building so she can make herself something to eat. I'm thinking she needs to make it quick, because Alva said they were in a huge hurry. The girl is flaunting the fact that she got the "okay" to make herself some food from Alva, kind of dancing around the kitchen like, "Haha, nyah nyah, and I'm going to take my sweet time too-oo..." She makes herself some french toast. Suddenly, out in the living room, ...okay, get ready for it... a life-size cardboard cutout of AL SHARPTON pops up from in front of the couch (we were looking at the back of the couch, through the kitchen doorway). O_o??? The hell?! Why am I dreaming of Al Sharpton?!?! The cutout bobs around, with someone (whoever is holding it up) doing a silly voice for it, saying, "Helloooo, I'm Al Sharpton! What you eatin' there, girl?" XD The girl is totally fooled. She starts laughing and asks, "What are you doing here?" But I knew it was some sort of trick. Then the psycho killer, wearing Paul's mask, pops up from his hiding place on the other side of the couch with a huge, sharp weapon (I couldn't clearly see what it was, but I know it was red in color) and comes after us. I turn to run, and I think, "Oh my God, PAUL is the killer!" Then I woke up. O_o
I know there was lots more dream before all this, more about the psycho killer SQ was pursuing, but I've forgotten most of it.
This sounds like some sort of Scream/Miracles dream. :D Skeet did play a psychotic killer in that. He even held up a stuffed animal and did a funny voice for it.
February 15, 2004
The Miracles portion of the dream started with me being at an amusement park. Some family members of mine were on an out-of-control roller coaster, which worried me. The crazy coaster changed scenes 'til we were all in some sort of hospital that kept people who were hurt by paranormal events, like possession victims. It gets even weirder here. A young Katherine Hepburn was in the hospital; she had made some sort of deal with Evil in general that if she allowed the crazy roller coaster to run over her, her brother, Peter Fonda, and her daughter, Lana Turner, would become famous. (These people aren't even related! Crazy dream.) Paul was there, trying to talk her out of it. Somehow, I got involved in the attempt to save her, and the Evil Guys put a tube in my hand. It was supposed to drain blood from my hand, but the tube went ALL THE WAY through my palm, looped around, and the other end also went all the way through my hand. I pulled it out, with Paul helping me. Then we started running around the hospital looking for Alva and some other people we wanted to save.
At this point, the adventure turned into one of these instances where I was a part of the adventure, but also observing it, essentially being in two places at once. I was watching all of this on television; it was a Discovery Channel special on the tv show Miracles. I was watching it at Rekka's house! (Rekka being an online friend.) I know it was her house because I looked over at her a couple of times and she looked just like she does in her pictures online. In the special, Alva came into this one hospital room without his shirt on, all bloody and hurt and not looking too good. Some girl was in the bed. Alva looked at her and sighed, like he wasn't too happy about something, then the scene switched to Paul and I wandering around the hospital again. Eventually Paul found the room Alva had gone in. Someone was in the bed completely covered with the sheet. Paul went to see who it was and Alva fell out of the bed, lifeless. After checking Alva's neck pulse, Paul sat on the bed looking quite upset.
Rekka and I glanced at each other and freaked out. "Alva's dead! Oh no! He has to come back to life!" we cried, stuff like that.
Paul pounced on the bed, looking for something. When he stopped, he looked down at the floor to see that Alva's body was gone. This gave Rekka and I hope that Alva wasn't actually dead.
Then the front doorbell rang, and Rekka and I went to get it. A bunch of people I know, along with some strangers (who peered in the door window in a really funny way), were there. I asked Rekka if she taped the special so I could get a copy of it. Then the dream completely shifted focus to other events.
April 11, 2004
The Miracles portion of the dream started out where I was making these shadow puppets of monsters out of paper. I was going to use them for something, but playing with them made me think of a scene I could use in one of my fanfics (this is all still in the dream). I decided that I wanted a picture of one of the puppets casting his shadow on the wall; I would take the photo through an open door, so it would look like the monster was standing just outside the door. Myself and a friend (don't know who) were making plans to do this. (This actually would be a good scene to use in one of my fanfics; can you imagine Paul's reaction if he saw such a thing right outside his bedroom door?)
Here, the dream shifts focus. I was watching "The Friendly Skies" and the episode had this long "previously on Miracles" segment before it. But, it was totally different. The segment featured scenes with Tommy, who was played in my dream by Haley Joel Osment, that simply did not happen on the show. Tommy had been kidnapped by some guys from "the Mexican mafia" (???) - they were demanding that Paul hand over some powerful item he had in return for releasing Tommy. There was a scene of Tommy being released to Paul. Paul tossed them the item, then they let Tommy go to him, and Tommy was so happy he kissed Paul on the mouth (LOL!). The next scene backtracked a bit, where Tommy was being shown something in the trunk of the kidnappers' car. Only thing was, the cars were all still in motion. Tommy and the others were sort of floating along behind the moving car (bizarre...). One guy shoots open the trunk (instead of just using the key?) and opens it to reveal this really scared little girl lying in there, with black hair, wearing a black patterned dress with pink flowers. Tommy cries, "Cherise!" and then the announcer says something about, "And what of Tommy's cousin, Cherise? Find out next on Miracles." In the dream, I thought, "I don't remember that scene with Cherise... maybe I was distracted when it came on? I'll have to watch the episode again." Then my alarm woke me up.
April 18, 2004
I was riding around in a car with a couple of people and Skeet Ulrich, and we got stopped by the cops. He didn't want them to know who he really was (in my dream, he had committed some sort of crime and had a warrant, eep!), so he pretended to not be able to speak English, only Spanish. Only problem was, the cop was probably going to ask to see ID, so I was worried for him - it's a crime to lie to the police about who you are. Skeet screwed up and started speaking English to one of our other riding companions, so I leaned over and started whispering, "In Spanish, in Spanish!"
He said, "What?"
The other person we were with YELLED, "In Spanish!" Of course that got the cop's attention.
I thought, "Oh crap, Skeet's going to jail," and patted the side of his head. XD That's all of that dream that I remember.
I don't know who one of the persons we were riding with was (some dumb guy, apparently), but the other was an online friend of mine from MST3K fandom, Sandi. My brain likes to stick random people in dreams sometimes. Sandi was the one Skeet was speaking English to, who also drove the car.
April 20, 2004
The only parts of this dream that I remember involve the SQ office, and how it was completely different from how it looked on the show. It was more like a garage, with an auto parts store attached which the SQ crew also ran! (I guess investigating ghosts wasn't paying well enough.) Paul, Alva, and Evie went into the auto parts store to check things out (it was closed), and someone had written messages all over the windows. Though, they weren't exactly written so much as scratched into the windows in a fashion that could probably be called paranormal (unless someone has a large diamond or something, hehheh). I wish I could remember what the messages said, but I can't. I know something about them really spooked Evie. Often in dreams, I am put into the body of someone else and observe things through their eyes, and feel their feelings. I did this with Evie. She felt very worried about these messages.
This next part felt very weird - Paul walked by Evie, and I performed a jump from her body to his! Now I could see things through Paul's eyes. Someone came up the stairs outside the store and tried to get in, but the door was locked. They tried to talk to Paul through the window, but he couldn't hear them, so he put his hand to his ear and shook his head. The person left.
Evie came back in the room, walked by Paul, and I jumped back into her body again. She fretted over the messages some more, then turned to go back out of the room. At this point Evie tripped over a bump in the floor that hadn't been there before, which "came to life" because it was a person covered by a rug. The person was covered in blood and wounds and carried some sort of tool with which they had carved out the messages. This person moaned spookily, getting louder and louder, and started to get up to chase Evie. These unpleasant images woke me up.
