The Bill Gates / Microsoft Dream Catalog
From Rick Thomas...
I dreamt I was working for Microsoft. My office was in a weird loft that
you had climb a ladder to get to. I was hanging out with Bill a lot. We
would sit in his office and talk about movies and the Sonics. I don't remember
what I was doing for the company. Bill came up to my office one day and
fired me. He said he had to let me go because He was not getting any work
done.
From Steve Breitenbach...
In my dream, I was sailing on Lake Washington past Bill's 50 Mega-dollar
estate when my boat capsized. Bill swam out and saved me from drowning,
then put me up in his house for several days. The house had palm trees
and fountains everywhere, very much like the San Diego hotel I was staying
in that night...
From Andrew...
I dreamt that it was the year 2050. I flew in Gates Air to New York City.
I stayed in the Gates Hotel. I looked out at mid-town Manhattan, and saw
that every skyscraper except one had a huge illuminated 'GATES' logo on
it. I was to see the 'Gates Day Parade' being sponsored by the Gates Department
Store. I was wondering what the building with no 'GATES' logo on it was.
I saw 'First Bank of Gates', 'Second Bank of Gates' all the way to '244th
Bank of Gates'. I went to the Gates Computer Store, and looked at the country
of origin on the products. I saw 'made in Taiwan' 'made in Japan' 'Made
in Germany' 'Made in Gates'. Many many things were 'made in Gates'. Some
were made in California, Gates. Some were made in Texas, Gates. Some were
made in Illinois, Gates. Just then I woke up, and was swimming in sweat.
I cried for 45 billion years.
From Jason...
I dreamed the other night that I was in kindergarten again (I am 20 years
old) and bill gates was my bus driver, I kept asking him what it felt like
to be so rich but he seemed to only want to give advice on finger painting.
I asked him how i could succeed as he has and he told me to stay stylistically
outside the lines and i would smash the competition and rise to the top
of the heap.
From Wendy...
My boyfriend Ian checked his e-mail and found a message from Bill Gates
saying that he really admired his web page design and animation, and that
Bill was in London right now, and please would Ian drop by his hotel after
lunch that same day to meet him? The e-mail was in a highly visual format
and after Bill's message there were numerous film and cartoon "trailers"
you had to run through before you found any other important messages. We
got anxious that downloading all these messages was making "us" late for
our meeting with Bill (unspoken assumption that I was going too). Decided
to leave messages for later, and went to meet Bill in his large hotel room.
He said lots of good things about Ian's work and offered him a job (in
America), part geared to animation projects, part to a major schools-on-the-Internet
project. There was mention of a salary around $58,000 which, even in dream
terms, didn't sound like a "Bill's singled you out to do great things"
type salary. Ian said he'd need five minutes to think it through. Bill
said "Call me", and left the room. We looked at each other, and I thought
(or said), "What about me finishing my degree, what about the children,
what about your dreams of being an Internet mogul in your own right?" But
we both wondered if, having been 'chosen' by Bill Gates, completely unexpectedly,
Ian could really turn him down. And then I woke up.
From Anna...
I dreamt that me and Billy were on a desert island when he proposed. I
had to turn him down because he never had time for me because he was running
a little business venture of his. I then walked away but he came running
after me and said that he was willing to give the business away. I just
had to take him up on his offer, so I took the business away from him and
let him live in my house whilst I became Alexis out of Dynasty. He probably
wouldn't have taken me up on my offer if he'd known where I live beforehand.
Ha ha.
From Marc...
I dreamed that Bill Gates sent me $1.2 Billion.
From Dan...
I was Bill Gates, and I lived in this large, dark techno-mansion, lit by
fluorescent tubes behind black rectangular boxes with square white-glass
slots (cf. Ben Kingsley's lair in the movie "Sneakers"). I was very grim
and concerned, because my arch-enemy Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) had kidnapped
the love of my life, a very buxom blonde exotic dancer, and despite the
fact I was the most powerful man in the world, I could do nothing to stop
him. I remember seeing his jeering face on a fuzzy video monitor, telling
me his terms. This was such a blow to me in the dream that I re-dreamed
the situation so that the exotic dancer was just a very sophisticated computer
construct, and Lex's possession of her was more along the lines of "intellectual
property".
From Rubashov
I'm suffering from insomnia and somehow I've stumbled upon this strange
web site. Oddly enough I had a dream about Bill Gates right after Windows
95 was released. I dreamt that I was at a carnival and this carnival turned
out to be a Microsoft picnic. Everyone dressed the same and basically looked
the same. There were rows and rows of 50 foot long picnic tables covered
with red and white plaid tablecloths. I was really hungry so I decided
to get something to eat, but all they had were burgers and diet coke --
both of which I can't stand. I started to get really pissed off. There
weren't any choices. Just BURGERS and DIET COKE! I refused to eat the burger
and diet coke, so I found a restaurant and ordered a salad to go. I returned
to the table and realized I had nothing to drink. So I left my salad on
the table and went to get a glass of water. When I returned I discovered
that someone had eaten my salad. Then I realized Bill Gates was sitting
next to me with a big smirk on his face. I became livid because I realized
that it was BILL who ate my salad. I twisted his arm and made him apologize.
He finally did and confessed to eating my salad. I started screaming at
him, but he still had that smirk on his face. I couldn't take it anymore,
so I left completely pissed-off. Then I woke up. Luckily, I haven't had
anymore *Big Bill* nightmares... maybe it's because I'm using Netscape
Navigator.
From Bonehead...
one night i dreamed that i was on an airplane... in my dream i didn't know
where i was going, but when the plane landed, i knew i was in richmond,
washington to see the execs of microsoft... they had been wanting to buy
the exclusive rights to "my product" (in the dream the actual product was
not known)... i remember meeting with some faceless sprite, and was getting
pretty upset with him... i began shouting at him "look, if he's going to
go back on the agreement, then he should do it himself instead of making
me put up with some flunky like you trying to haggle the sale price down!"...
i couldn't put any description onto the guy's face, but i knew it was a
guy, and i knew he was deeply embarrassed - but also frightened... and
i knew he wasn't frightened of me...
From Colleen...
Yes, I am guilty of Dreaming of Bill. These dreams were not sexual encounters
(unless some Freudian stretch can make it so) but for some reason, they
were dreams of parties. Nerd parties. A darkened room lit only with monitor
glow, cement blocks painted white like any good nerd's basement bedroom,
the metal folding chairs bearing the weight of dedicated hackers for hours
on end. This was the atmosphere of these dreams. Bill arrived, like any
other guy, and just made himself at home. The other nerds in this party
barely took notice of him as they gathered closely around their window
to the world. He didn't mind, he likes people that way. I simply said to
him, "wow, what are you doing here?" when suddenly it dawned on me that
that was a really stupid question. Just before I woke up from that first
dream, Bill said to me, "hey, come to my next party", and I woke up before
I could ask where it would be. The second party was exactly like the first,
except there were more brown metal folding chairs, and more nerds sitting
on them, and there was actually pizza. The Thrill of Bill arriving did
not impact me as it did in the first dream; he blended right in and disappeared
in the huddle. I got bored and left.
From APST...
Recently, I had a dream that my wife and I were invited to Bill Gates new
home, and when we arrived, we were ushered into a white room and given
iridescent shiny type body suits to put on with matching boot type foot
wear, and I commented to my wife as we changed into this strange garb that
there were all kinds of "touch sensitive buttons" on the sleeves, and we
were then handed ultra lightweight headgear to put on that had a clear
plastic eye cover, when I put the head apparatus on, I touched a corresponding
button on the sleeve (pic of the head gear) and we were instantaneously
"transported" into a wonderful room full of wonderful background music
(Yanni?) and a soft voice began telling us about the Gates residence and
directed us on a tour throughout his wonderful home, we subsequently met
with Bill Gates and his lovely wife, and just as I began telling him of
an organic viral chip I was trying to get someone interested in, my alarm
went off...and I woke up...I asked my wife if she experienced a similar
dream, and she said "No darling, you've been working too hard, let's have
a cup of java!" Gee, it was as though we (I) was actually there! Oh well,
just thought I'd share that with you, oh, one more thing, Bill Gates home
sure was beautiful,,,at least the one I "visited" was!
From Junk...
In my dream, Bill and I were walking into a glamorous hotel while holding
hands. Then, for some reason, we thought it would be better if we didn't
draw attention to ourselves, so we stopped holding hands, and just hooked
our pinky fingers together and continued to proceed toward the front desk.
When we got there, Bill started talking to the clerk, and all the while
we were holding each others pinkies, as if it was less conspicuous!
From Rich...
In the dream I am on line at a bookstore. the line contains people who
want to have B. Gates sign their copies of his book, when I get up to him
and have him sign my book, I realize that it is not his book in my hand
by the Ayn Rand book "Atlas Shrugged". we both pretend not to notice and
the book is signed without incident.
From Jeremy...
Last night, I dreamt that I was stuck in a freezer. I was on the verge
of dying when Bill opened the door. He handed me a copy of Excel on floppy
disk. Bill then closed the door on me but unplugged the freezer. As I began
to thaw out, I began nibbling on the floppy disks he gave me. Then, Bill
said my cubicle was too big, so he had a steam roller squash the freezer
with me in it.
From Josh...
I dreamt Bill was sucking on his toe. I really don't know why.
From Karen...
Ever since loading Windows 95 on my pc, I've had dreams about Bill Gates.
In one of them, I was sitting at a table in an airport in Utah with Bill
and three other men. Utah, by the way, is the location of the automation
vendor we use at the place where I work. Hummm. The barren, brown Rockies
loomed large around us. One of the men commented on how ugly Utah was.
I replied that hearing that made me feel really good because I thought
I was the only one who felt that way. Well, I suppose you could have field
day with this.
From spike ali...
Oddly enough, I’ve had several bill gates dreams. It all started
after this trip my parents and I took past Ross Perot's huge business buildings
when I was about 15 years old and on the way to my admittance interview
to the Texas academy of mathematics and science. My mother, always
fanciful about not having to shell out any dough for my education, speculated
that I should write a letter to Mr. Perot asking him to "sponsor a talented
and bright young Texan’s education." Although I laughed at her silly
remark at the time, it later began to haunt me both in my conscious and
unconscious states of mind.
The beginning of my dream emulates my real life situation. I toil
daily, juggling two part-time jobs, full-time school, roommate problems,
and bills until I feel like I’m going to drop dead with weariness.
One day, as I’m riding the elevated train to school feeling completely
beaten and looking particularly disheveled because I worked until 2 a.m.
The night before, I look up from my frantic attempt to incorporate every
theory of motivation into my head before the 9 a.m. Test time and there
he is. Billy bill, just sitting there in the seat across the way,
smiling at me. My first reaction was to fixedly stare back at him
until he turned away, as I do everyone who stares at me on the train. Unfortunately,
he didn't turn his head but just smiled bigger and pulled a pen and a notepad
out of his pocket. Both had "Microsoft" emblazoned across them, as
well as his shirt pocket. He leaned down to write something, then
tore off the paper and handed it to me with a flourish. It said, "hello,
my name is bill, and I’m an Ellen Jamesian." I broke out into hysterical
laughter because I knew it was a funny joke based on characters in "The
World According to Garp," and bill laughed and said he thought I looked
like the sort of person that would get that.
Since my stop was coming up, I told bill I was sorry but I had to go.
He asked if he might tag along, which I didn't think was a good idea until
he offered to buy me lunch. Never one to give up an offer of free
food, I accepted. So on the way to my test, bill told me he was on
a personal quest to remember how the common person deals with every day
life, so he asked me some questions about my life. I told him all
about how I dropped out of high school and the academy because of personal
and family problems and how I was determined to make things work so I just
packed up a U-Haul and moved from Texas to Philadelphia when I was 17.
I told him all about how most of my roommates owe me loads of money and
that one even turned out to be a bank robber (true story, too), and he
asked me how I dealt with it all. I explained to him that I work
around 50 hours a week at two part-time jobs within the same company so
I can meet my outstanding expenses. Bill began to look like he was
going to cry, so I laid it on even thicker...but never lied. I explained
to him that I usually only have time for one "meal" a day, and even if
I did I don't have the money to pay for more. I detailed my diet
of ramen soup, spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, and Dr pepper. I figured
for once my scarily skinny frame might come in handy and I showed him how
underweight I am by rolling up my sleeves and displaying my bony arms.
He gasped in horror. Then I told him about freezing one hour commutes
to school and work, terribly high rent, and a mother that refuses to let
me have any of "her" money, and that I might have to drop out of school
after this year because I haven't the money for it. He asked about
my grades in school, and when I told him I have so far managed to maintain
a 3.96 gpa while double majoring in neuropsychology and religion bill broke
down into a crying mess and said he couldn't believe how selfish he was.
He swore that, since he wasn't able to finish his college education, he
was going to make sure that I was given the chance. He told me he
had never met anyone who had worked so hard to get what they wanted out
of life and make something of themselves and that I had "climbed over mountains
and swam oceans that most people wouldn't even take a step towards."
Then, after I took my test, he took me out to eat ("anywhere you want to
go," he said...so we went to Kentucky Fried Chicken) and traded phone numbers
with me. He gave me $1000 worth of his pocket change to get home
and pay off a few of my bills and told me to inform him whenever I got
my next tuition statement. He also told me I could come visit his
place whenever I wanted if I just needed to "get away from it all."
From Pam...
I dreamed that I was younger, maybe a teenager. Bill Gates came to
my house for dinner. I was thrilled and excited but tried to be really
cool about it and pretend that he was just a normal person. Right
before dinner, my mom asked him if he could fix her e-mail/modem, etc.
I felt so embarrassed and mad at my mom. Then I woke up!
From Karen H...
Well where do I start.................
It was yesterday morning and I woke in a cold sweat I had been having
a Bill Gates nightmare. The dream didn't start out like a nightmare in
fact at first I didn't know I would meet Bill Gates, but in the course
of the dream Bill Gates revealed himself.
At any rate I remember I was in this strange Metropolis and I somehow
or other ended up at the Bill Gates residential complex and all though
I knew he was supposed to have lived there I didn't think I would meet
him. In the dream I was a fan of Bill Gates and I was very much desireous
to make a pilgrimage to his home and meet Bill. I entered his housing complex
on my own without first being greeted at the door and inside I met a man
who I didn't think was Bill Gates, he didn't look like Bill, but in fact
he was......
I was hanging out with this guy and we had this deep connection and
we found out we had a lot in common including the fact he was a Hare Krishna
and a vegetarian too and he's an intimate friend of Boy George who is also
a Hare Krishna. ( The night before I went to bed dreaming about the crying
game, a song by Boy George after having flash backs of personal Hare Krishna
resentments and thinking yeah right - fond memories of the Hare Krishna's,
all I did was cry most of the time I was involved with them, but George
was calling me to come to the LA Hare Krishna temple.....So for some reason
Boy George and Bill Gates were both Hare Krishna's in my dream.
So Bill finally reveled he was Bill Gates and his face changed so he
finally looked like Bill Gates again. The House was a marvelous place,
however the part I saw in my dreams wasn't particularly fancy, some white
lamps were the thing I remember most, white carpet and white couches and
white stuffed chairs.........I followed Bill up this spiraling stair way
with a black wrought iron railing to another floor furnished like a whole
apt. there was a kitchen we passed by and Bill suggested that I meet his
wife and new born baby and his wife was a very nice person, the new baby
was strange almost grotesque to look at, but I graciously accepted the
opportunity to hold the baby who aside from a very strange body had a cute
enough face. The thing that was really strange about the baby, was although
the baby was less then a week old, the baby was very alert and could speak
perfect adult English and the mother told me that's because the baby takes
after Bill. I thought to myself, some people have all the smarts, I flunked
first Grade because I couldn't read Dick, Jane and Sally by age 7 and Bill
had already read the whole encyclopedia by then. So I commented on how
amazingly smart the new baby was and I'd never heard a new born talk before,
what to speak of adult english at that........
So things were very pleasant so far it seemed - that I was fitting into
the Gates fold by then, however when Bill tried to have me use the latest
computer he'd been working on I didn't know how to use some of the functions
on his new keyboard,
which had twice as many keys as my old one at home and Bills mood began
to darken and all I could do was apologize for my incompetence. At this
time Bill reveled his whole reason for having me summoned to his home,
although I had no idea I had been summoned. He explained that I was the
product of half silicon by Dow corning and half human flesh and that I
was just produced to become a vessel for a real brain, his and that I had
been selected for my body type from a number af scientifically engineered
humanoids. Then he told me the fact is that he was dying and wanted to
transfer his brain into another body and that they would remove and destroy
my brain and put his brain in my body. I was dumb founded and at that point
his wife was talking to me about this and that Bill didn't want to abandon
his young family as yet and that the new baby needs him and she needed
him and that the world could not exist without Bill Gates...........
So I was taken in by this and I agreed to have the operation, where
surgeons stood by in Bills house complex surgical lounge to perform the
Brain Ectomy, but when I got in there I said it would only be fine if they
gave me anesthesia first, but the doctors said no that I would have to
be conscious during the whole procedure and at that point I freaked out
jumped up and ran to escape and at that point they tried shooting me down
with tranquilizer bullets, before I crashed through a huge picture window
after running out of the surgeons lounge. On the way out I ran into Boy
George again and he told me nobody can escape from Bill Gates, that everyone
worked for Bill Gates and it became an all points man hunt with every body
out to capture me for Bill Gates.........
Then I woke up and I was in the Bill Gates Psychiatric Hospital..........
