Wondering if some of the crane operators here ever have dreams about operating. Over the last 10 years or so i have had 4 or 5 dreams that I can remember, unfortunately there not good ones like being in the seat of something like a Manitowoc 31000 doing a near max capacity lift it goes great I get the big bonus and my picture in the paper.:cool: LOL!
I don't know what triggers them but just once I would like to have one that does not involve some kind of near disaster or worse a a disaster of epic proportions.
last night I had a dream some parts were pretty sketchy and other parts were shockingly real to me. It was enough to keep me awake for about a hour before I get back to sleep.

Naa, my dreams are typically complete nonsense, random, disconnected tidbits of this that and the other that makes no sense in the real world. I wake up and ask "what the %&# was that?" lol

One time though, years ago, was pouring concrete with a bucket. Wife told me I moved my legs and arms all through the night and kept her awake. bah ha ha ha :D

I dream about work all the time. My ex usta hear me talking in my sleep about it. Stuff like " are you sure those forms only weigh 6'000 lbs" or "don't worry boss man we'll make up the diffrence in the next joint". She started freaking out when I started firing laborers in my sleep though...

my ex says i get angry when im sleeping and mumble curse words lol. Usually I have dreams involving heavy equipment. One I can remember was I felt like it was the end of the world, like zombies were attacking or something and I was looking for a vehicle and I found a yard full of mobile cranes and I woke up before I could jump in one =((((((
