I've been writing down my particularly memorable dreams since 1999. My dream file is about 720k at the moment. Not all of them are interesting to anyone but me though. So I went through the whole thing, snipping away, leaving only those dreams that 1) have a coherent story and/or 2) that I could imagine anyone actually wanting to read.
There are a lot of storylike dreams here with a fair amount of celebrity cameos, luscious visuals and deeper meanings. But these are just the cream of the crop. Most dreams I have are short, jumbled, anxiety-driven rehashes of recent events and bits of movies. Though every now and then, my unconscious mind will produce a gem. Here's a few.
(BTW, if enough people are interested, I may post another file of yiffy dreams. Though there aren't many.)

I just had this weird dream last night that I just have to tell someone about.
It started were I was wandering downtown in a city that looked like a combination of Atlanta and my college town. I was looking for a used book/video game store because I had seen an advertisement state that said store had copies of Earthbound (an extremly quirky RPG) for the SNES. So I asked Betty White for directions and she pointed me in the direction of a rundown, abandoned house. I thanked her and went on my way. As I entered the house, I suddenly turned into a fox cub. Apparently, I had been chosen out of a group of other cubs to go on a Star Trek like mission. Among the ones chosen where, your characters Xander and Lexi. We were then told to strip by a computer voice that sounded like GLaDOS and enter the showers. As soon as we entered the showers however, we were ammediatly placed in space suits and we being comanded by a badger with a voice like R. Lee Ermy. We were then placed in a spacecraft with a plexiglass roof and slingshoted into space. I remember feeling an extreme sense of G-forces hitting me and...well the dream ends there.
Anyway, enough of my dreams, your dreams so far are really great and alot more vivid than mine. Also, I would be intrested in hearing some of the more yiffy dreams. ;)

>...BETTY WHITE!?!?
Yes, Betty White. I think the reason why she was there was because she was guest starring in my dream.
> Actually, anything with cubs in spacesuits, I approve of. (It's a minor fetish of mine. :3)
Glad you approve. Wonder how cubs would look in the Star Trek uniform?

I know how Gadget would look in one:

I'm going to have to save this one to read in chunks. Wow, what a stack of stuff!
The X-Files: Predator
"This place, like, makes weird, right?"
-- The Whiteboard
Though later it seems that the joint is a bit more like Malarkey County.
This could be a really good fanfic, even as it stands! It reads a lot like an episode, and this would definitely be an X-File: the supernatural element that Mulder and Scully often investigate helps solve the case. And a vixen!
There's not much to pick at, since It Came From Alex's Subconsious.
The thought of a supernatural element solving a crime reminded me of a story that's been made into song at least twice, about a woman that killed her sister over a man they both wanted. A harpmaker builds an instrument from the remains of the deceased, and the instrument speaks. I thought the folk tale was an awesome allegory for forensics. I started writing a story loosely based on and referencing one song, but got stuck after I put together an outline. I got pretty doggone literal, even had a detective was named Harper. I will have to dig it back out, see if anyone speaks to me. Songs in question are by Pentangle (Now that's a name for a writer's block!) "Cruel Sister", and Loreena McKennitt "The Bonny Swans".

That's probably a very good idea.
>Though later it seems that the joint is a bit more like Malarkey County.
I got that sense too, that they may have some genuine strangeness, but a lot of it is just people stretching the truth for tourism.

Yes, I like when foxies pop up in my dreams. I also like when you have a dream and you wake up and think, 'This could be a good story' and upon further reflection, it actually turns out it really might, as opposed to being just a complete jumble like most dreams.

Actually, the 'supernatural element solving a crime' thing is kinda the backbone of my Ghost Story. :)

I only ever had a fox turn up in one dream. All I can remember is seeing the fox, then he(?) darted around behind me, and jumped up on my back. I think the fox wanted to have sex with me, and I was about to let him. Right when I felt paws on my shoulders I woke up!

Actually happened to a friend of mine. She had a nightmare once, and then as she was writing it down, the thought occurred to her that this might make a potboiler of a novel. And then the flood broke loose, she's been working on that book for a few years now.

Now how did I forget that? Ghost Story remains one of my favorites.
The trope has been played often enough; this example from 1941 is probably closer to your use of it.
In the outline I wrote, the Supernatural was downplayed some; the Beyond threw a few tips to the detectives, but they had to chase everything else down by conventional means. I never did settle on a setting, but used modern day for my notes. As my outline stands, it could probably be set just about anywhere, anywhen without too much modification.
I may post my outline and working notes for the halibut, since it's been gathering cobwebs on my hard drive for several years now.

Lucky! I rarely have yiffy dreams. Probably because I daydream yiffy stuff so much when I'm awake! ;)

That's where Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde came from too.

Yay! Glad to hear it! ^__^

HOLY SHIT!! I haven't thought about Topper for probably a decade! Makes me wanna see it again!
>I may post my outline and working notes for the halibut, since it's been gathering cobwebs on my hard drive for several years now.
Only if you never intend to finish it and explicitly say so. Otherwise, readers WILL hound you to finish it. I learned the hard way the perils of posting an unfinished story.

If you want to see Topper again, it's on blip.tv. You can download the whole film from there. I remember watching that movie on VHS.
No I'm not an old fart, I always smell like that!
Advice understood about the unfinishedsymphony story. As I left it, the story is so rough you'll get rug burns from reading it. Besides which, I'm really just putting a layer of varnish on an old folk tale. If anyone bugs me, I'll point them at the songs linked in my previous post.

Your lucky! Whenever I have dreams, I'll wake up remembering that it was awesome, yet only remembering a snippet of it, which stinks, cause I know have had some pretty awesome dreams, except for the one dream I remember, where Scream (the guy from the movie) was break dancing in a room full of mirrors, which was probably one of the wierdest dreams I've ever had.
