Kevin's Watch

I always remember my dreams!

My recent nightmares about my classes was replaced the other night by a totally ridiculous dream.

Do you know Gunther? The "Oooh, you touch my tra la la" guy? If not go listen to the ding dong song on you tube.

In any case, I dreamt that he had a weird cult following of people who called themselve the cryptologists because they rearranged the lyrics to makes ones that said things like "toss the kitty into the abyss".

I went to see Gunther perform, and sure enough, there were lots of crazy culty people doing the thriller dance. One thriller danced over to my friend and poked him hard in the chest to make him pass out for a few seconds, a right of passage, I guess.

I woke myself up laughing.

...that's bizarre.

I want to dream about Lyle the Cowboy.

I hate those kind of dreams! Work dreams are the worst EVER! I find myself dreaming about work, only in my dream I can't do anything right, can't finish anything. Then I wake up in a really cranky mood.

Lyr, train yourself to totally dissociate from your workplace as SOON as you exit the building...I never even CONTEMPLATE work outside the building! I like to think I HAVE a life. And b'sides, they don't PAY me enough to think about them outside office hours...

Yeah, I know. . . And I do try to leave work at work. The problem is that I work too much--it's typical for me to work 9-10 hours a day. One day last week I was at work for 13 hours. It's the problem with the kind of job I have--always far too much to get done, and constantly behind on the paperwork aspect of it. It makes for a lot of stress, and it's no wonder that I dream about it.

However, I have applied for a new job at another agency, so my hours may change for the better!

The kind of dream I hate: in which I'm back in school as a confused student constantly going around a labyrinth of hallways, or stuck in a class from hell.

Haven't had one like that in a while, but every so often it returns with a vengeance. Why I don't know.

Hello, moron brain: stop sending me back to school!

I still get dreams that I've got uni exams next day and I've done no revision at all - and I haven't sat an exam in ten years now!

Sounds easy enough to interpret, MM. I think some part of you is worried about being in a subordinate role, unable to exercise power over your destiny, and confused about how to change that because you feel stuck.

Or at least that's what Dr. Lyr says.


I used to dream that I had overslept for the final exam--something that most professors won't let you make up. Scared the crap out of me, and I would wake up in a cold sweat. That's purely an anxiety dream for you.

Sometimes we sit around in my supervisor's office and talk about our dreams. Dream analysis is pretty interesting, especially if you take the Freudian approach.

I have that dream all the time.....you know, the one where you're in a play, and it's your big scene and you don't know any of your lines? Usually it's a long torturous sequence where I'm backstage with a script, frantically trying to learn a part equivalent to say....Hamlet.....in the three minutes before I have to go on.....


I wonder where that comes from....?


The other night I dreamed that I was apartment hunting with Spike. There was nothing at all naughty about it, ( ) we were just close friends, and he needed a place to stay, and I was keeping him company. He kept hating all the perfectly decent apartments I found for him and I couldn't understand why.....Except for the one where there was a big water leak in the ceiling and the carpet was spongy. Anyway, I was disappointed when I woke up. I always love dreamtime with Spike, no matter what we're doing.....

Oh, Annie.

The dream in question was when I worked in retail in my late teens, and I did one evening shift a week, finishing at 10pm. Customers always had a habit of arriving at one minute to ten, and staying for five minutes, thus keeping the shop open. My dream focused around that; customers kept coming in just as we were getting rid of the last one, and the shop stayed open til 6am or something, because the manager was too much of a pansy to kick the customers out (which he really was, in fact).

Well, when I turned up to your store in my dreams it was closed shut five minutes before 10pm. Stop misleading the public, Cov.

I hardly ever have those kinds of dreams, until just recently that is. Dreamt a couple of times lately that I went into uni and that my class was very boring. No surprise there.

I also dreamt last week that I made out with a close friend, which is very strange because I never have those kinds of dreams.

By the way, the Ponce Kit you sold me is missing a badger mask. I'm returning to the store tonight to get a refund.
