MORNING OF MAY 10, 2008
I was driving my car around town one afternoon and ended up in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant (it might have been a Jack's). I remember thinking it odd that the restaurant was fairly far off of the main road and separated from other businesses. Then the next thing I recall is being back on the road again.
Suddenly a flock of doves (the gray kind) flew out from some high grass on the side of the road directly into my path. I hit at least two or three of them. One of those hit was partially splattered on windshield, even though I hadn't been moving particularly fast. I felt really bad that I'd hit the birds, and also grossed out by the squished one.
From there I went to my parents' house, which in this case was a fictitious location. I parked in their garage and was going to figure out how to gingerly remove the bird from the windshield. My dad was in the garage, and we discussed what had happened. He had said he "knew" it was going to happen. I don't know what that meant, but he just knew it had been likely I was going to hit some birds.
As we talked, I looked over to a particular shelf in the garage that held a large number of those 32 oz. plastic collector's cups that fast food restaurants often have as promotional tie-ins with movies and such. In the dream I could "remember" getting various ones of the cups over the years. One of them I specifically remember featured Ms. Krabappel from the Simpsons.

those collector cups are awesome
but not as good as the Burger King
Star Wars Glassware...those were the ultimate!
Ha ha...I don't remember the BK Star Wars glassware, so I must've missed out!
I do remember when I was a kid there would be a lot of fast food glassware though...I had (and in some cases still have) a lot of Peanuts ones, and there were some Muppets, Smurfs, Garfield, etc...now all we get are plastic cups...which I guess can still be cool in their own right!
