Have you ever wondered what your faves dream about? Here are the answers in their very own words!

I’m what you might call the early bird, because I wake up with the sun. Right now that’s about 6:30 a.m. As soon as the sun comes through my window I get up. The only problem is when it’s a cloudy day I sleep right on through. That’s why I’m usually late to work.
I don’t need a lot of sleep, but I need regular sleep. When I go home at night after work I don’t watch TV, but I always turn on the stereo.
I have nightmares sometimes. My nightmares usually involve emotions and things like that. A nightmare to me can be a lot of grief. It can just be a nightmare about grief. Sometimes I can have just a wonderful dream. The most outstanding thing about my dreams is the fact that I can’t remember any of them.
I never sleepwalk anymore, but I did when I was young. I know I did, not just because my mother would tell me, but because I’d wake up in places other than my bed. I used to wake up in the closet, oddly enough, periodically. That’s about the only thing I can remember.
I never dream about the Monkees. If I dream about anything, it’s usually about a concert. Not a Monkees’ concert, but a concert I might attend or a play. They’re just things from my imagination.
Before I was married, there was a “girl of my dreams.” I used to dream about the same girl, but she wasn’t anybody I knew. Nobody in my dreams is ever anybody I know. I’ve never seen a girl like the one I dreamed of. I’ve never seen anybody like anyone I dream about.
I’m actually more of a daydreamer than a night-dreamer. I sit and get lost in thought during the day. I don’t spend much time sleeping.

You might say I have rather strange sleeping habits. There’s quite a bit of preparation before I can fall asleep. I usually climb into bed anywhere from 12 midnight to 5 a.m. and I curl up on my right side with my knees in my face!
I can remember my father telling me, “Don’t lie that way. If you stretch your body, you’ll grow to be tall.” So I would fall asleep stretching my toes as far as I could. In the morning I’d wake up and I’d be just like a robot. I was so stiff I would ache all day.
I have no alarm clock, so I have devised a system so I can wake up on time. I bang my head on the pillow once for each hour of the time I want to get up. So if I want to wake up at 6:30 a.m., I bang my head six times and the half hour is done by laying my head down easy after the sixth bang.
I used to have one recurring dream that would really frighten me. We had a small backyard behind our house and I’d dream I’d be trapped in one corner by a crocodile. Just before he would bite me I’d wake up. But sometimes he would bite me. When that happened I’d fall out of bed. I’d lie awake the rest of the night too scared to move.
I also kept having a dream about floating and falling. I would be floating downward and just when I was about to hit bottom, more space to fall would appear. I’d fall some more and just as I was ready to hit ground, the ground would drop and I’d keep falling. It was terribly frustrating.
I’ve been told I walked in my sleep when I was much younger. We had a two-story home and one night I got out of bed and was climbing out a second-story window. Luckily, my mother heard me get up and saved me from jumping or falling, whatever would have happened. She put me back to bed (because I was still asleep) and then told me about it the next day.
I have a favorite dream. I really like this one, because I pretend I’m Errol Flynn. (A famous film star in the forties). I’m fencing with about 10 guys who are all after me. They push me out the back door of my house (in Manchester) and into a tiny corner in my back yard. In the end I win, that’s why I like that dream so much.
The only other thing I dream about is riding horses. I’ve ridden millions of winners in my sleep. I had a fun joke a few months ago. I told all these newspaper reporters I had ridden 26 winners when I was home for Christmas in 1965. I really did, but only in my dreams!
