What have you been dreaming about lately?

[Waddley]

Ok, so Freud would have had a field day with this one: had a dream last night where I was talking to my boyfriend. But instead of his name, I kept calling him "Dad" or by my brother's name.

Dude, something's wrong with me.

[CovenantJr]

You're wrong in the head.

That's what Freud would say.

[danlo]

So now we have to call Wadds Elena?

Had a dream I called my dead grandmothers phone number and she answered from the afterlife and was answering my questions about what it was like there, it was STRANGE, maybe it was real? Maybe I was really communicating with her there?

A couple of nights ago, I dreamed that the world was overrun by giant spiders and I was trying to escape a deserted city with a small group of survivors while an evil computer tried to entice me to stay.

Last night, I dreamed that my Dad contacted me and wanted me to visit him (I haven't spoken with him in a few years). He came and picked me up from "work", where I did the same thing I do now (run an after-school program) but in a completely different location with different kids. It was in the middle of the woods, almost, in a nice building.

Anyway, He picks me up in a shuttle and we go somewhere (fuzzy) and then we're walking through this huge tube into a futuristic society and he's this upstanding citizen that everyone loves and respects (he's not, but he pretends to be) and he's wanting to be, like....a real dad. Sci-fi, like.

Weird.

I've gradually come to realise that some of my dreams have a persistent world.

...

This has been happening more and more. I don't remember the previous dreams until I revisit the places, and then I wake up remembering all the dreams (or parts of them, at least). It's really strange. It's kind of like going to the Land; I revisit some of the same places, but time has changed them - more time than has passed for me.

That is intriguing! Once in a while, I will have a dream in which I "know" I've been to that place or world before, but it's not as coherent an experience as yours seem to be.

Last night I dreamed I was in a Dirty Harry movie. I was him, but I also saw him from the third person. It was very violent, even for a Dirty Harry movie. Buckets o' blood. He got shot multiple times, and his partner died from the wounds. However, Harry dragged himself to some weird urban hideout underground where he recovered. After which, he came back and laid waste the thugs who had shot him. My dream would have made Quentin Tarantino proud, I think. Or Sam Peckinpah. Thing is, I haven't seen a Dirty Harry film in years, so I don't know what brought on this dream.

could have been worse, could have been the hunter!

Plus it should have been OK - now that place gives me nightmares when awake, especially if healing.


As for my dreams currently, they seem to be few and far between.

I had a disturbing insect dream last night. I dreamt there was this one kind on insect crawling on my ceiling, and there were 2 other bigger meaner types trying to catch it. I decided to help by showing it a route away from the hunters by drawing a stick along the way it should go. Which worked until we got to the end of the ceiling, then I had to double back my insect to try and dodge the other two. But it didn't work and 'my' insect was caught and squeezed between the legs of one of the others, at which stage it burst into flames. Not sure quite how the 'moral' came to me, but I knew as this was happening that in fact 'my' insect was really dangerous and I should have left it alone to be caught earlier or all sorts of dire consequences could have happened (again, details missing).

Not a very nice dream, at all!

[Seareach]

I had an extremely vivid dream about MM last night...but that's probably all I should say about that!!!

[CovenantJr]

Last night I dreamed, inexplicably, of Andrea Corr. Hmm.

[Krazy Kat]

Last night I dreamed I was in the company of a young Jimi Hendrix - before he became the wild man of rock. We were with some people I used to work with. The dream was good, then not so good, then good, then not so good, etc, etc, etc...

The evening was getting on so I made my way home. I didn't want to cut across the town centre, so I ducked down a side street. This led to an alleyway. It had waist-high walls on either side and topped with shiny black railings, behind which were bushes and trees. The air was fresh and clean.

The alleyway led to the e-club(?), which was just a small pub with nobbled walls painted brilliant white. It had those old english windows with the glass bottom panes.
I could hear live jazz music from inside, and through the windows I could see the lager-and-wine coloured lights, the polished oak tables.

I didn't feel like going in because I'd spent all my money. Also, the slippers I was wearing were a little too big for my feet and the hems of my jeans were caked with mud. So I went around back and through a culvert into a darkened street...

I woke up with a song in my head, and on this rare occasion I was able to write it down:

sign the book,
carry on
when you return, I'll be gone
taken far away to a much better place

so, sign the bo-ok...

The lyrics don't make much sense, but they can be easily changed. However, the music I really like. It pulls a bit towards the middle-of-the-road, but I think I can wrestle it towards rythm&blues, maybe even pump up the volume to a rock song.

Sorry for the long post but I thought that the KW musicians might find some interest in this.

I think these words make a hell of lot of sense. We all sign life's guest book with every action and inaction of our daily lives. And we are all, in the end, only guests.

I think these dream lyrics are beautiful.

As for me, dreams of armageddon all night. Terrible and heart slamming dreams that have already slipped away. I do remember that my biggest concern was that the earth was going to rip apart at 4:00pm exactly and I was worried I didn't have enough pairs of eye glasses. I went to a motel and purchased a case of them from Audrey Hepburn at 3:50pm.

Last night I was dreaming of being stuck in a sea battle right out of a Errol Flynn movie. Only I was surrounded by my co-workers from when I was eighteen and it was insanely funny. Seeing this fifty year old lady swinging from the mast with a buccaneer's knife clenched in her teeth had me snorting all day. That's all I could remember.

[Krazy Kat]

Thanks Lorin, much appreciated.

It's been a while since I've dreamt of armageddon. But for me, any dream with Audrey Hepburn in it can't be all bad.

On thinking about what dreams are, I first thought that they were a safe way to indulge in total insanity. But then maybe we dream in stereo, where both hemispheres of the brain are deep into a story of some kind. When we awake the memory box can't handle it and maybe that's why our dreams are so confused and absurd.

Just some idle speculation!

I dreamed I was being chased around an empty school by a Tank, accompanied by its usual music. This has caused me to experience a mild twinge of actual fear whenever I hear the music now.

oy vey. =(

[CovenantJr]

I know. It's not like I've even been playing Left 4 Dead that much, and I hadn't played it that day. I finally woke up when there was nowhere left for me to run. Eek.
