Ski dreams.....

[num]

Funny that this got bumped today, as I had a ski dream last night, my first dream that's been solely centered around skiing.

So I took my mother, my brother closest to me in age, his daughter (3 years old), and my much much younger brother (6 years old) skiing for the first time. They were all getting the hang of it pretty well, though at some point while my neice was skiing with my mother, my niece double ejected and my mother didn't stop to grab her skis, just kept holding her hands and skiing, while my niece somehow glided in her boots. When I met up with them I asked what happened and my mother said "I thought that's what was supposed to happen". To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if that's how she would handle that situation in real life, and that's why I wouldn't leave her alone with my niece on the hill ;)

Lots of other random things happened, but the main thing that stuck with me is that at the bottom of a run I looked at my skis and one of them had turned floppy. I took them off and picked them up, one was normal and the other one was as floppy as a deflated baloon. I probably could've rolled it up and fit it in my pocket. I couldn't stand it up and lean it against the wall.

I must have been keeping this thread in my mind. I had a dream last night that I was at a Ski Diva summer training camp. At the camp, we were divided into two groups. One group was sent to run laps around a track, and the group I was in was told we would be getting a special surprise. Ends up the surprise was a chance to win a supporting role in an upcoming movie, where one of would play Lindsey Lohan's best friend. The final three candidates were me,Snowhot and Native Vail Gal. ANd I won!

This is one of the strangest dreams I have had in awhile. And the funnier thing is I don't even care for Lindsey Lohan as an actor.

Last night I dreamt I was heading out on a ski vacation and everything was going wrong. I was late for the shuttle to take me to the airport, I lost my luggage and my skis and boots, and when I got to the mountain, there was no snow though people were skiing on grass and rocks.

As you can imagine, very frustrating. Wonder what it means.

Anyone else have any ski dreams lately?

This morning when my 3yo woke up she told us she was dreaming about skiing. My baby is a future Diva for sure.

I love that.

I actually also had a ski dream last night. I was skiing in Japan, but all we did was ski a groomer, and then I was riding the gondola and my boots were all messed up. I couldn't get them tight enough. I woke up before we got to the top.

My ski dreams are always super frustrating. I can never fly right in my flying dreams, either.

Was there something in the air last night???

I had a dream about trying to buy a block of land, some acreage for ourselves and the horses. When I payed attention to the view the block of land was only a little way away from some skiing...somewhere??...I have no idea where??? hhhmmmm....how nice would that be!!!

Haven't had a ski dream lately, but like several of you mentioned, my ski dreams are generally frustrating. I'm riding a chairlift and I get to the top and I realize my skis are missing, or my boots don't fit, or there's no snow, or I can never get off the chair, or I can't find all my ski clothes, etc. etc.

I sometimes try to fall asleep thinking of a powder run on a sunny day, but these images never carry over into my dreams.

Yup skibum4ever, those are EXACTLY the kinds of ski dreams I have. Ve-ry annoying!

I love your baby girl! She is mosdef a micro SkiDiva!

I love that.

I know I shouldn't laugh at your frustration but there is some humour in my mind's eye about you flying right.
It was you that I followed off the cornice wasn't it?
Good thing you fly right when you're awake, eh?


I had a very vivid dream during a nap today that included my last ski day of the season, including the people that surrounded me on that day. When I woke up, I swore I could smell the smells of that day......
I loved the way it left me feeling.

I had a ski dream the other week, and in it I was tele skiing, and I was tele skiing really well (which was wonderful because I just started to learn this and I'm pretty bad at it right now). Anyway, the funny thing was I was skiing IN MY BARE FEET, just balancing on the skis with no bindings!

Saw an article online this week .. "8 Common Dreams and What They Say About Your Love Life". And it said, "According to Holloway, when somebody in relationship has the famous flying dream, it is an indication that they've been having some really good sex."

And then RachelV posts ...

I can never fly right in my flying dreams, either.

Now I'm wondering what this might mean. RachelV, what ARE your thoughts on this??!

or there's no snow

That's like my recurring ski dream. I take the chairlift up and there is some snow, but not nearly enough, and the slopes are streaked with brown. I manage to get off the lift but don't see how I'm going to get down without hitting dirt and rocks. And it's really depressing because what's worse than seeing brown on a ski slope?

My first day of skiing this season (3rd day that Mammoth was open) was kind of like that. It was their third day open and also their closing day. It was much better when they reopened in mid-November.

 

[altagirl]

I've had that type too. One was where you had to take your skis off to get on the chair - they sent them up separately but I couldn't get them back and then the snow dissappeared too.

Heh - not skiing related but I had a dream Sunday night that I went into a gas station to get change for some reason and someone stole my car. But it was my old subaru that I haven't owned for years. And then I was late for a meeting because I had no way to get there. I don't know what that means when you lose something you don't own anymore. Weird!

I had another super frustrating typical-for-me ski dream last night. I was going skiing, but my bindings weren't mounted. I spent the entire dream trying to get them attached properly. At one point I was putting them on a monoski. I got on the chair, still trying to get my bindings attached, and then I woke up. :-|

 

[ski diva]

Hmmmmm. Maybe this means you're trying to figure out how to go skiing?

I've been trying to remember whether I had any ski dreams before ... and I swear, I don't think I have. Even since this thread started, I've tried to pay attention to remembering dreams ... maybe I just have a crappy memory, but I still can't recall any. Everyone's seem to be frustrating anyway, so maybe that's a good thing. :-)

I thought it was only me who had ski dreams, I have them all the time!

I sometimes have ones where I've lost all the people I'm supposed to be with, or all the snow's melting. I remember one and we were skiing down a black run that was all mud!

I finally had one! last night (after a harried pack and drive to Silverton early in order to try to beat any pass closures) -- I don't remember too much about the skiing, it wasn't frustrating, sorta heavy snow no blower, though, but it felt a little like being in a Wii skiing game.
