› Forum › THE LOUNGE › Any bunny dreams lately?
Some of us have posted in the past about dreams we’ve had featuring our rabbits.
Does this ring any bells?…
Night before last I dreamt of mine. I don’t recall much unfortunately. The one thing that stuck though was Gooseman got me to play hand-clapping games with him. Lol. He was standing on the sofa and initiated it. (I suppose he talked?!) He lead all the clapping changes. Lol! I could hardly keep up!
I have NO idea why my psyche threw that out there.
Nope, still no bunny dreams for me Kate. But gee, I have been having some weird one’s lately – I’m actually at the stage where if I don’t dream (or remember) I am grateful! Lol!
My gosh! your dream sounds exhausting! Were you tired when you woke up???
Wishing you sweet, restful dreams tonight.
Edit to ADD – but it sounded FUN! I loved clapping games I was young.
Andi, I wish Id remembered if he did a rhyme with it. Lol
All i have I my head is “I went to a Chinese restaurant to buy a loaf of bread bread bread” which makes zero sense. I’m sure I’m remembering that one wrong.
No, I wasn’t exhausted, just amused. Lol
Looking at your siggy, Gooseman is actually very similar looking to Henry. He doesn’t have the brown tone in his coat though. I vaguely recall the dream was about my trio. My older brother put them in a bath at his place & I have no idea why. I do know he was trying to be helpful. Weird!
LOL! The clapping game I remember (and still know! My goodness, I’m not sure whether to be proud or embarrassed??? Lol! ) is ‘a sailor went to sea sea sea, to see what he could see see see, and all that he could see see see was a ship at the bottom of the sea sea sea’ – HA HA HA HA!!!
I’m not sure if the ‘bread’ one is right or not – but it sounds very familiar, along with the ‘Chinese restaurant’??? Mmmmmm…….. LOL!
So cool that Gooseman looks like Henry! I have to admit he is a cutie. I only hope for you that he doesn’t ‘behave’ like Henry? Lol!
SEE!!! That’s why I hate those sort of dreams. I end up spending the morning thinking/trying to understand them? Why would your brother be bathing them? Great – now I’m gonna go to bed tonight wondering….. ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I’ll get back to you in the morning if I dream anything – LOL!
PS – I just remembered! I had a dream the other night and I had a BIG pet fish/pet caged bird (in my dream they kept switching over?) and I forgot to feed it. And I woke up actually feeling sad/bad – very emotional! By the way, I don’t own a pet fish or bird! And I don’t recall ever starving anyone/thing. Yep, I really hate those dreams!!! AND why???
LOL!
PS – I just remembered! I had a dream the other night and I had a BIG pet fish/pet caged bird (in my dream they kept switching over?) and I forgot to feed it.
At least with your free ranging dogs and dog-bunny, there’s NO CHANCE of you forgetting to feed them! They’ll be underfoot begging.
That’s actually a recurring theme I had in dreams about rabbits. I haven’t had them lately but I used to dream about buns I had indoors then this other group that was outdoors that I kept forgetting about. I’d feel so bad that I’d neglected them once I remembered.
I remember the sailor rhyme! And one that began “Ronald Mc Donald”. And parts of it were “Icecream soda with a cherry on the top. Icecream soda with a cherry on the bottom” & “down down baby, down by the roller coaster”
I haven’t laughed so hard for ages!!! Thanks Kate.
And yep, if anyone can explain WHY we have these dreams??? And to wake up actually feeling distressed is just awful.
My theory is it’s actually to do with something we’ve neglected within ourselves. Not actually the animal or person we’d dreamt about. So all you have to do is identify the fish-bird within you Andi !
Now you’ve got me thinking!!! BUGGA! (lol!)
btw, I saw parrot fish in a restaurant last weekend. Those guys are pretty big.
I wondered if the being caged or contained has anything to do with it Andi? Haha- more to think about now. Notice I’m not trying to decipher my own dream?!
I know this is gonna sound dumb (and I honestly know this), but I even hate having ‘pot’ plants! I worry that if I get busy/distracted and don’t water them they can’t get resources from a garden bed (the ground) and they rely totally on me for water (food). Except for the disabled lorikeet that I didn’t return after a birdsitting stint, all my birds (budgie’s) were free range 24/7 too. For all my complaining about Henry (sorry!) I know the simple solution would be to restrict him – I can’t! Ha ha ha ha…..
Maybe it is me??? Lol!
Ok Kate – your turn!
PS – Now that I have thought about it and admitted this could be it, I’m curious to see if I have the dream again?
Edit to ADD – parrot fish ‘and’ big. I’ve never seen one, but I totally get it! How did that (or the two) get into my dream?
Hmm, No bunny dream yet.
JerseyGirl, I remember most of that song! “I went to a Chinese resteraunt to buy a loaf of bread, bread, bread, the lady asked my name, and this is what I said, said, said: My name is” I can’t remember her name right now.
Oh my goodness – I sorta remember….. adding onto Moxie – My name is chinese checkerknees, something something….. HA HA HA HA!
Serious, between all us BBer’s – we should be able to get the rest of the clapping rhyme!
LOL!
Good on you Moxie! See why I ‘stole’ you!
Yes!
My memory is giving me
” …my is Al-i Al-i Chickabee Chickbee, Oo-ee Oo-ee Bop Bop Bop” ??????
I’m sure that is totally wrong. We probably said it wrong as kids too.
What I don’t understand is why a Chinese restaurant to buy bread? I suppose Prawn Crackers had too many syllables.
Andi, that doesn’t sound dumb at all. And I’m going to use that theory next time my Mum gives me a plant. Because many have suffered from my neglect in the past!
Btw, careful using the term pot plant with these Americans.
They think we’re talking about marijuana. Lol
It’s “potted plant” over there apparently.
Ooops! Sorry! (HA HA HA HA)….. pott’ed’ plants!
Well Kate, I was gonna make the announcement on the chat thread (and I will) but I officially have an “American” ‘soon to be daughter in law’! My son just called (2 minutes ago) to say he proposed and she accepted! I better get this American slang sorted – LOL!
Ok Kate – your turn!
Mmm I don’t have much to go on. I don’t even really recall my feelings during the dream.
Just the trio being put in the bath, and the hand clapping game.
The dream was set in my childhood home and where my brother now lives. So there could be something in that.
And funnily, there was often 3 of us in the bath at once. :p
Oh Andi, lovely! : )
How exciting!
There are a few different versions of her name…
pickle-i pickle-i
O-Y O-Y
pom pom Beauty
X-Y cutie
Indiana jones says DO NOT MOVE!
^This was the version I grew up with. After you say do not move, you both freeze and the person who moves first loses.
Here’s the full song the way I learned it:
I went to a Chinese resteraunt to buy a loaf of Bread Bread Bread,
The lady asked my name,
and this is what I said said said,
My name is,
Pickle-I Pickle-I,
Oh-Y Oh-Y
Pom Pom Beauty,
X-Y cutie,
Indiana Jones says “Do not move!”
Thanks Kate! I am so happy for him – he truly deserves it.
Yep, I’m sure it means something – like you said. From what I am reading it’s all relating to your childhood. Thinking of happy times? Cause your dream and what evolved in it sounds happy – maybe the bun’s were representing others in a happy time/location?
The first thing I picked up on was the clapping song/rhyme and how happy/fun that was.
AND gosh!!! I remember Al-i Al-i & pickle-i, pickle-i, but I don’t remember Indiana Jones (I’m sure that movie was made when I was an adult??? or at the very least a teenager???) ha ha ha!
We are getting there! LOL!
Mmm… Pickle-I is ringing a bell. Far too long ago for me to remember accurately.
Andi, quite possibly. We have 3 significant birthdays coming up in the family. A 30th, 40th and 70th. So I have had the family home and fond memories of growing up on my mind.
I hope that’s what it is, along with dreams of anticipation. WOW! All those celebrations – it does sound very exciting! And having everyone together, I couldn’t think of anything happier. I just love ‘occasions’!
Just be careful if you have a few drinks that you don’t break out in the clapping rhyme song! Ha ha haha…..
If you do, promise me you’ll think of me! (and make sure you tell me!). I couldn’t think of anything better!!!!!! or more fun at our ages. Lol!
Merlins in heavy molt atm, and I had a dream where I came home to find him totally bald! All he had was his his puffy tail and fluffy feet!
I don’t remember any specific dreams lately, but ones about the bunnies usually involves them multiplying lol Also latelly, there has been dreams where they multiply, but we have to get them out of the house/move. Them to safety. I’m sure it’s because we went from 1 to 7 bunnies and 2 to 4 cats in a short period of time, and now we”ve had to move them all to a new house.
Not bunny related, by my recurring dreams seem to be about tornadoes and ending up in public topless lol. Also, my ex husband and a former bf end up in my dreams a lot ( usually resulting in something negative in the dream)
I have absolutely NO clue what the heck you guys are talking about. So I did what anyone would do in my situation, I googled it. LOL
What I found:
I went to a Chinese restaurant to
Buy a loaf of bread, bread, bread,
The waiter asked me what my name is
And this is what I said, said, said,
My Name is L-I-L-I chicken-li chicken-li,
Extra cutie, pompom beauty,
I know karate, punch in the body,
Oops I’m sorry, don’t tell Mommy,
Chinese, Japanese, Indian chief!
Wow, seems kind of offensive to me… did people really sing this?
No bunny dreams recently that I can speak of. I keep having weird dreams, but I can never remember them after I wake up.

HAHAHA! Never would have thought of that (or would I?) but its completely true….
This is going to sound really odd, but here you go-
So I am standing on the roof with a friend and Lionel, when the wind starts to pick up, and Lionel flies away. I freaked out (wouldn’t you?) but my friend told me not to worry, as this was quite a common occurrence, and the flying bunnies always landed at the zoo. So we went there, but I couldn’t find Lionel anywhere and I was freaking out when I was suddenly handed Lionel by an ape….
So weird…. LOL
I used to dream and remember them, until I was a kid and my cat ran away during a move and my mom wouldn’t let us look for him. I had nightmares about him for weeks, then stopped remembering dreams from then on. Almost 20 years with no dreams so far.
LBJ – Guessing that is why the lyrics changed?
I remember the down down baby one. Also, a sort of clapping game we played – you held both your hands out, Palm side up. Your friend put their hands above yours, close but not touching. Then you tries slapping the tips of their hands before they could pull away lol.
I have to admit, AH that I had to stop and think for a minute about your pot plant lol
I got behind on this thread. When I read BrunosMama’s post, I had to go back and read everything . . . I know our Andi is adventurous, but a pot plant?!?! Whew! Had me worried there for a minute!
LBJ20 My sister and I used to sing those, but in england the common one was:
i went to a chinese restaurant
to buy a loaf of bread bread bread
he wrapped it up in a five pound note
and this is what he said said said
my name is…
andy pandy
sugar and shandy
sitting in the back seat
drinking brandy
i’m a baby
in the navy
chinese japenese indian freeze!
restrospectively…. yeah kinda offensive….
LBJ— Yes people really did/do sing that version. I was looking up common different versions of that song and I found that version too.
I’m trying to think of any bunny dreams, but I just can’t think of any!
I just remembered a dream I had last night! The dream is more about BB than my buns. I would also say this was nightmare-ish.
So somebody I knew (In the dream, not in real life) was going on BB and on purpose, sending false information messages to people and nasty messages to me. Well the person was saying I was a horrible animal parent, rabbits were stupid creatures and ect. ect( in my face, not online). Well all of us were either really small or something, because he was standing in a kitchen sink or something. I was standing on the edge/rim and was looking down at him. I started yelling my head off. “You can attack me all you want for no reason, but you bring my baby into this and you’ll feel my wrath!” Then I started reciting Julius Caesar by William Shakespear about how Cowards die a thousand deaths, and brave die but once? Then the guy escaped my jumping down the drain.
^^^ Weird huh? I kinda know where it all came from, I was reading a book last night where that verse from julius caesar was mentioned, our kitchen sink was clogged, I’ve always been touchy when people say they dislike my animals(“babies”) or they think they are stupid, ect. ect.
Oh my GOSH Kate! This thread turned out to be so much fun!!! Lol!
And yep, some of the rhymes we had as kid’s were quite offensive when you think about it now…. But back then I can promise you all that we never understood or thought of them as offensive, they were just silly rhymes we learned as little kiddies. I never gave it a second thought till people brought it up – a bit like baa baa ‘black’ sheep – haven’t they changed the word to ‘rainbow’ or something now???
PS – and yes, I dreamed last night! But ‘luckily’ I can’t remember! Lol! So no dwelling on unsolved dreams today! Ha ha ha ha…..
Oh! And I promise you all – I have NO ‘pot’ plant!!! Sooooooo funnnnny!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha……..
Edit to ADD – that is ONE weird dream Amanda! LOL!
Lol yes!
Who was it that mentioned a while back about the bunnies pooping nacho cheese? Trying to think…
Oooh! I must have missed that one Amanda. Is that a bit like the goose that laid golden egg’s??? It would be if you liked nacho’s! LOL!
Nachos served in a litter box……
The other week I dreamt that Bam had pooped and peed not only on the floors of my mother’s house, but on the walls and ceiling as well. We tried to figure out how he’d managed to create such a terrible mess, the wall-paper and the ceiling was completely ruined and covered in sticky poop and pee.
I often dream about the bunnies, because they’re on my mind a lot.
Other than that I’m pretty sure too that dreams are about oneself. Over the years I’ve had recurring dreams about getting lots of small pets, sticking them in small, inappropriate cages and then forgetting to feed and care for them, then finding them dead or dying a long time later. Terrible dreams, full of guilt and shame and sorrow. These dreams came long before I’d any rabbits or other small pets. I’m rather sure it’s about my own life. I’ve not had that dream for a while now though which is good.
The Bam-making-a-mess-dream was probably about me creating trouble for my mother. I asked her to bun-sit for two days when I went to Gothenburg with my brother and his family. But she didn’t bring them to her house, she came here and fed them and changed their litter and checked on them twice a day. She loves them, esp Bam, they’re very connected.
Haha! Bam is one talented bunny!
@LEL; I wonder if the BB banner of rabbits in spaceships influenced your dream?
@Andi, same here. We would have no concept of any of the rhymes being offensive at all. Even now, my neices and nephew say one that I knew as a kid also. I caution them about it and try give alternative words but they dont quite understand. They’ll just default to saying the way they were 1st taught.
I hadnt heard that about baa baa “rainbow” sheep. Seriously?! That’sjust silly.
Isn’t it Kate! ‘rainbow’ sheep??? That’s when I realised the world had gone mad! The article I saw on TV (ages ago, but it was so ridiculous, why I remember) said that’s what they are teaching kid’s in Kindy/Pre-School now – not sure if it actually caught on?
Gosh, I’m gonna make a good Grandma (not yet! one day….) aren’t I??? NOT! Lol…..
This isn’t a dream but yesterday I was talking to the bf about giant animals. He said all giant-sized versions animals would be scary, and used Jurassic Park as an example. I told him an island filled with elephant-sized rabbits would be wonderful. Also no where near threatening as one filled with dinosaurs. You’d have SUVs filled with people driving towards them instead of away from them. He said I’m just like John Hammond (crazy guy who made the island into a reality lol). I told him yea that’d probably would be me. My Giant Rabbit Island would put the one in Japan to shame.
So JWB…. where is your island??? And can I come??? ha ha ha ha…..
Sounds perfectly wonderful! Just like a ‘dream’!
Giant bunnies would be great . … giant bunny butts! A giant Marlee thumping would be like an earthquake though!
I dont know…
I wouldnt want to get foot-flicked by an elephant sized rabbit.
Watching them binky would be awesome though!
I think all us BBer’s should meet up and get together on JWB’s Island! We are always arguing about where to meet up……
Lol!
That would be fun! You think they might be fun to ride?
Imagine the giant turds, ha ha ha!
LOL Amanda! Ok, I’m going to bed! But I am so pleased I read that – I’ll fall asleep while giggling!
Pardon the large size, this was done at work using Paint lol. Also I stuck Bindi in the corner bushes lol.
I can’t see image ^. Is it just me?
*waiting in anticipation*
It’s not just you, Jersey, I can’t see it either. * also waiting in anticipation*!
The JWB island sounds a little scary. There is that old horror movie about giant rabbits that escape from a laboratory and then starts to raid the country.
Found it! Night of the Lepus! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069005/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Lepus
I had a dream last night influenced by buns (does that count?)Lol I dreamed by best friend was pregnant. (She has 5 kids in rl) but it was going to be her 8th baby! It dawned on me later a conversation about our bunnies mixed here. My hubby mentioned getting Hazel a friend, which would give us 8 bunnies. Lol or maybe my friend is going to give birth to a bunny?!?! Lol
Giant bunnies. XD That’s totally awesome. I would be afraid of getting run over by one if I had a bag of craisins in hand.
Yay! it worked.
Ok, if Bindi is the gatekeeper, we have nothing to fear right?
@Bam: I googled images of Night of the Lepus. I’m thinking it was a low budget movie… There was a pic of a man who had been “maimed” and covered head to toe in red paint I’m guessing. Haha!
Jersey, Night of the Lepus is known as one of the lousiest movies ever launched. I saw it a very long time ago and it was seriously idiotic =)
If Bindi is gatekeeper, I’m definitely going to that island. Nobunny messes with our man Bindi.
I dreamt Luna and Merlin had babies! Merlins been fixed but still, it was kinda a cute dream…. THey had 3 boys and two girls, and I was keeping the kits warm by placing them in tumble-dried socks!
Last night I dreamt that Yohio and Bam were friends. They were in the same room and there was no fighting, they were just hanging out togeather. It was such a good dream that I was really disappointed when I woke up and realized it was only a dream =(
