[UA] Dreams (was Introduction)

<snip cool hypnogogic/hypnopompic stuff>

I often have dreams where I go through a normal day, then go to bed,
sleep, dream, and wake up, all within the real dream.

Also, I had lots of odd dreams/trips while on heavy pain killers after my
liver/kidney transplant last summer (third liver transplant).  I had one
in which I entered a comic similar to a previous poster.  Superman was
going through a dimensional gate, and I entered the comic and followed him
through.  Think of a long rainbow-ringed tunnel of parachute material.  I
had to crawl through it, and after about five minutes I got claustrophobic
and had to crawl backwards to get out.

Another time, I was drifting in and out of sleep while watching Law and
Order.  They were investigating a murder in a hotel room.  When I was
asleep, the door to my hospital room's bathroom led to the hotel room in
the show.

The wiredest by far was set outside a jazz club at night.  I was a blue
poster stapled to a utility pole advertising the band playing inside.  I
wanted to go inside to hear the band better, but no one would pull me off
the pole and take me with them inside.  Then, for some reason I don't now
remember, I fell/was ripped off the pole, and fell into a puddle.  I
wasn't made of high quality paper, and was hoping that someone would pick
me up before I broke up in the water.  This was not frightening, but I
woke up before this happened.
