Here, we dive into our team’s wildest dreams—from the hilarious to the mysterious and everything in between! We’ll share the strangest scenes and epic adventures our minds create while we sleep. Join us for a peek into the bizarre world of dreams, and let’s see where our imaginations take us! 

"After watching way too many seafood boil videos, I had the weirdest dream—two crabs were fighting on a beach, full-on gladiator style. Their claws were clashing, the waves were crashing, and it felt like I was watching some epic crab drama unfold. I didn’t know my seafood binge could spark such a random, wild dream!" - Undergraduate RA

"It all started in math class when we had to write down who we had a crush on. The person I liked wrote down that they had a crush on me, too. One of my friends encouraged me to ask him out, so I did. But things took a wild turn—he ended up kidnapping me.

Somehow, he aged 30 years overnight and turned out to be part of the mafia, so he wasn’t cute anymore. While I was kidnapped, I hacked into the White House and told them where I was. A team that felt straight out of Criminal Minds came to rescue me.

I managed to escape by running out of a garage door and jumping over a car to safety. Meanwhile, my friend blew up a car outside, taking him out, but not before he managed to shoot me in the leg. For some reason, the last part of my dream kept repeating, so I ended up with two gunshot wounds—one near my hip.

When I finally returned to school a few days later, no one even asked why I was gone or on crutches, which felt pretty rude." - Undergraduate RA

"I was reminiscing on an old after-dark that happened when Ariana Grande came, and I got to drive her to the airport and talk with her. I could not remember what year it happened, so I traveled back in time to the event to ask people what year it was because I could not find the photo I had with her. I traveled back in time, and nobody told me what year it was until I saw Alex, a friend in sub, and asked him what year it was, and he said 2022. I said thanks and traveled back to the future so I could find this photo and show everyone that I did, in fact, meet her." - Undergraduate Student

"My dream was at home or some sort of event place/mall school. We were all chilling and looking at Taylor Swift news. All of a sudden, aliens started invading Earth. We all had to band up together to survive. Casey (my sister's boyfriend), Jessica (my sister), and Austin (my boyfriend) were there, along with my parents. I wanted us to go get camping gear and stuff for survival. I then wanted us to leave and go out into the woods to create a camp. We would have to make a camp near a dam to have electricity for a while." - Undergraduate Student

Dream on!
