The first dream I remember having of Gary was us on vacation in Paris. He was just a regular guy and we were a couple. He looked like he did in
Meet John Doe, which is my fave of his movies and the one that got me hooked. It was spring and we were walking down a path through a park. It was a beautiful day and the trees had blossoms on them. We had our arms around each other and nobody else was around. Then we got back to our hotel and he unlocked the door and just as we were walking in my stupid alarm went off.
This one is really weird (as are most of my dreams). I was in Hobby Lobby which is an arts and craft store and I was walking around and I looked down an aisle and there was Gary looking at the hot glue sticks. He looked like he did in
The Cowboy and the Lady. He was even wearing spurs and chaps! Well I just strolled on over and started chatting with him. He was very nice and he asked me if I wanted to go get some coffee as there was a little coffee place inside the store. So we walked over and sat down at a table and drank our coffee and talked. I don’t like coffee but for him, I would drink it.
Another I had involved Gary and Astros catcher Brad Ausmus (who I’m also madly in love with) fighting over me. Gary looked like he did in this pic from
Dallas.

Ausmus was wearing his red jersey, white pants and he also had his chin guards on (I love him in his catcher’s gear).

We were on an old timey train out in the hall type thing. One would grab me and tell the other one I was his then the other would grab me from him and this went on for a while until they finally just starting actually fist fighting over me. I was just watching nervously b/c I didn’t want either one to get hurt and I didn’t know which one to choose. Thankfully I woke up before I had too. (I most likely
)
I had another real short one where I just remember he was my boyfriend and he looked like he did in
Along Came Jones. I was over at his apartment and we were cuddle up together in a big chair and I remember thinking how warm he was. It seemed so real
One of my favorite dreams about him is actually like something that really happened to me. I went to grad school in England in 2000/2001 and the evening before I was supposed to fly back home my mom called me in a panic b/c Houston was flooded (lots of bayous there so it doesn’t take much for the city to flood in some areas) and the airport was closed and that’s where I was flying in to. I was up most of the night trying to get other arrangements. At about 5 the next morning I headed to the airport for my 7 o’clock flight. They said flights were overbooked and I had a definite seat but I needed to check in as early as I could so I wouldn’t lose it. I was one of the first ones to check in and I thought I could relax but then our flight was delayed until 2pm b/c of a mechanical problem. It was so hard to stay awake b/c I had only gotten about 3 hours of sleep the night before. Finally we made it into Newark, New Jersey that evening (I was there 3 months to day before Sept. 11 and from the baggage claim area I could see the twin towers). I had a connecting flight to Houston b/c they thought by then the airport would be open. Well it wasn’t and they told me they could get me on a flight to Austin (which is where I actually live) the next morning. That was great except I had exactly $13 dollars left. They told me I would have to sleep in the airport and I freaked out. I told them it was the airline’s fault for the mechanical problem that made me miss my connecting flight and for giving me a flight to an airport that was still closed. After I started crying they gave in and gave me a hotel and meal voucher at the Howard Johnson near the airport. Finally the next morning I made it home.
Okay, so in my dream I was in the airport in London and I was having the same problems of them telling me all the flights were cancelled and nobody would help me. So I was standing in the terminal crying when Gary came up behind me and asked me if I was okay. He looked like he did in
High Noon. I told him I was just trying to get home and he told me everything would be okay and he would help me. He got me on a flight and went out to place with me where you catch the shuttle that takes you to the gate. He had his arm around me and was so sweet telling it would be okay and I’d be home soon. When the shuttle came I reached up and gave him a kiss on the cheek and thanked him.
The only dream I’ve had so far where he was actually Gary Cooper – movie star, was set in 1941. We were having an affair and he was trying to break it off and he said we should meet and talk somewhere. For some reason we went to a public library to discuss it and we were kind of in the back down one of the aisles talking. He said he was going back to his wife but I knew he loved me and really wanted to be with me so I was just begging him not to break it off. After a while he gave in and put his arms around me and said he loved me too much to leave me and he would divorce his wife. When I woke up I felt so bad for being a homewrecker.
This one I had just a couple night’s ago. I was over at my dad and stepmom's house and we were flipping through the channels and
Sgt. York was on so of course we had to watch it. Well I was eating peanuts and throwing the shells behind me over the back of the couch. I heard somebody mumble something back there so I turned around to look and Gary was sitting back there leaning up against the back of the couch. He looked so cute (he looked like he did in the movie so he was about 40) and he was wearing jeans and a dark green button up shirt. He had peanut shells in his hair and he was giving me this look like he could just slap me - ha!. I guess he didn't like all that mess in his hair. So I actually jumped over the back of the couch and started picking them out of his hair while I was profusely apologizing. He just kept glaring at me and never said a word.
Then another part of the dream started and the next thing I know a ton of people are in the house and most of them are in the kitchen getting food that was laid out like it was a party or something. Well I notice Gary's in there but now he looks like he did in
Barbara Worth wearing his cute cowboy clothes. I managed to force my way in there but I can't get his attention b/c his back is to me. So I think to myself 'I'm at least gonna touch him' so I squeeze between him and another guy to get back out and I had to brush up against him. He still didn't notice me but I was happy as a clam.
Last night I had another Gary related dream and I wish it were true. I was in like this big warehouse where they stored film reels. People could just wander through them and if you found one you wanted, they would make a copy on a dvd for you. Well I found all of Gary's silent movies, even the "lost" ones and I was so happy. So I found a woman who worked there and told her I wanted those on dvd. Well she looked into it and found out that the studio (stinky old Paramount) wouldn't allow their films to be copied. So she walked off and I was just standing there still holding the reels. Then the little gears in my head started spinning and I decided to steal 'em. Well that idea didn't last long b/c as I was looking around I noticed surveillance cameras everywhere and I was just heartbroken. I found that same woman again and asked her if I could at least watch them and she said that was no problem. Then I woke up.
