Awhile ago, I dreamt that there was a cannibal mass-murderer on the loose and that he ate my kid [a kid that i dont have in real life] - and all that i had of his remains was a plastic shopping bag full of skin and a few bones.. yeeggggh

Last night I dreamt I was talking to someone about something and Dan and Ned were in the background cracking snide jokes. (I think it had something to do with the Justin TImberlake thread on ILM.) (That these two have appeared in two dreams now and no other ilxers have is very disturbing.)

It would have been fitting and just if DanandNed had then lezzed it up with Justin.

I dreamt last night that I was at work and was going from one important meeting to the next, and in bewteen them, I kept getting handed increasingly more urgent phone messages from nickalicious, but every time I'd try to call back, the numbers (which were always different) would never work.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 24 April 2003 15:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's funny, cuz I don't think I've ever left an urgent phone message in my life, they're usually like:

personal: "uh...this is nick...um...okay catch you later."

professional: "This is Nick C0l3m4n with blahdiddy blah blah, and...um...call me back at peepee-5-1-doodoo."

I completely overslept, and possibly as a result, dreamt about posting to ILE. Something about parrots, so it was probably a sublimated sex dream, cause that was the 5th grade slang for "dick." Or maybe it was a statscock-related ream, then. In any case, I don't own a parrot of the feathery sort.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 24 April 2003 15:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

call me back at peepee-5-1-doodoo

I see you have the same number I do

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 24 April 2003 15:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Curious phones, those are!

BNW, Dan and I were just wanting to make sure you can never escape us. Ever. (Nicole's apocrypha regarding Justin I do not recognize as being part of the holy book of the Nediverse.)

Arthur's description is distressing. First, Marc should never open for anyone. Second, Chili's?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 24 April 2003 16:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think you were one of the people who gave me one of the messages, Ned

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 24 April 2003 16:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

I desperately had to convey Nickalicious's urgency! That or he was calling me up and playing Phish jams at me over the phone until I agreed to pass on the message.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 24 April 2003 16:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

It was all very strange. I think he somehow worked at the court I was trying to get to, and it eventually came out that he was calling to tell me not to forget to bring the file and a spool of thread.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 24 April 2003 16:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

My case was being held together by a tiny thread...and I needed reinforcements.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 April 2003 16:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

if a phish jam was being played to you your head would have exploded.

Ned-Marc wants his baby back baby back baby back. It was a secret Marc show, though. That's why we needed the password. He would have been headlining otherwise. I think the dream took place at that Disney mall, the one with the Hard Rock. Except in my dream it was in Connecticut.

― Arthur (Arthur), Thursday, 24 April 2003 17:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's the connection! N'Sync did those Chilis commercials. Perhaps Marc was opening for Justin and you just thought it was an IDM act.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 24 April 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm sure Marc would be delighted to open for Justin. No matter what Ned has to say about it!

― Arthur (Arthur), Thursday, 24 April 2003 18:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Does anybody ever get those dreams where you realize you're in the dream and then sort of weird snapshots of your life start flashing then you get this feeling of euphoria/flying then your breathing gets short and your heart beats really fast, then you start to panic that you're not going to wake up? This happens once every 6 months or so

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm sure Marc would be delighted to open for Justin.

Insert Justin here.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, I've gotten those, phil-two. I think. At least it sounds similar enough. Usually it happens when I'm sleep-deprived. (Like if I've only gotten two or three hours or sleep the previous night, and then try to take an afternoon nap.) Mine frequently involve an ominous countdown.

i had a dream in the form of a DOCUMENTARY (or a dream in which "the dream" was a mode documentary... hmm this is a bad start explanation-wise!!)

ANYWAY: the subject was the "Cookery of Tomatoes as an Evolving Symbol in Medieval and Resnaissance Courtship", and there wd be a little scene where ppl acted out some element in this in the middle distance (very Peter Greenaway), then one of them wd come up to the "camera" — ie me and my dreamer's POV — and explain what just went on sociologically

!!!

I was walking in Generic City and trying to follow someone named Sean (I don't know any Seans IRL). Then I cross the street and almost run into P Diddy. I call out Sean--since I can't see the Sean I was following anymore--and Puffy thinks I'm trying to accost him. He starts walking faster and looking back nervously. I start following HIM just to tell him that I think he's unworthy to be followed. END OF DREAM

I also had a bizarre HS/college dream, full of huge lectures, trying to remember my locker combo, and helping out this guy--who I knew IRL, but haven't thought about in years--who had become a heroin addict and was OD'ing in class. (jaymc: Ms. Bronchema (sp?) had a bit part)

It wouldn't even make sense for me to type what I remember of my dream, because what I remember has no apparent ILX connection. But I woke up at some stupid hour like 8 or something, one of those rounded ones, and thought, "Damn, that was fucked up. And also, it had ILX in it. I should post .. zzzzz," and promptly went back to sleep where I belonged.

It involved a big desert that I think was Tattooine, and some kind of ... war ... thing. I think I was witnessing some kind of Star Wars-y sort of war, and then posting about it. Or something.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 April 2003 17:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

This was not a dream, but I don't know where else to put it:

So-and-so: Yeah, there's that Jesus movie coming out.
Me: The Verhoeven one, finally?
S: I don't know. Mel Gibson's.
Me: Awwk. Does he play Jesus? I wonder if that's Verhoeven's.
S: He could be good, he did Hamlet.
Me: He's like ten years too old, and besides, you can't spell HAMLET without MEL, everyone knows that. You can spell JESUS without it.
S: So who could play Jesus? Jess?

(And I know no one named Jess, so I thought of ILX jess, and cracked up.)

I had a dream that RJG and the Pinefox had discovered a way of playing golf where they could teleport the golf ball to different ilxors with little messages attached to the golf ball. It was weird.

Last night I had a dream that something crawled out of my bed while I was trying to make it. At first I thought it was an extremely large neon-colored tarantula, but it turned out to be an extremely small neon-colored monkey, and I kept it as a pet. I did a double-take when I saw the "What Do You Want" thread this morning.

There's actually a Chili's not 2 minutes from where I live! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

― David R. (popshots75`), Saturday, 26 April 2003 22:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

OH MY GOD. I just dreamed about JBR. I dreamed that she was OTM. I'm not even kidding.

It's like I've been playing the same video game way too much.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Sunday, 27 April 2003 23:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

Wow, I didn't even know there were Chili's in CT. I wonder if there's one near New London? We can start planning a Christmas FAP way ahead of time. I'll be in Groton and SF Sean will be in Chesire or someplace like that. We can arrange an outlet shopping spree and a visit to the casinos for adventurous NYers.! It'll be fun.

― Arthur (Arthur), Monday, 28 April 2003 04:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

I was in a bookstore and found a lengthy zine written by Hstencil and published through a small press. There was at least one essay that mentioned ILX, including a paragraph where Hstencil included a long list of ILx0rs (NYCers? Derbygoers?). I was not mentioned.

i dreamed i was at my 9am class. which seemed like a good excuse not to be there in the flesh.

I dreamed they built a scenic walkway over the West Side Highway, except to get to it you had to climb up the side of a slimy mossy rock and swing up on a rope. Then once I was on the walkway, it turned into this narrow "plankway" with no sides (except there were sides, if you believed the sign on the entry to the plankway part -- you just had to trust that you'd stay balanced and not plunge to your death). The plankway offered a nice panoramic view that let me feel like I was walking on air. But it wasn't a view of NYC anymore; it was like a never-ending vista of Mesopotamian ruins.

That's all I remember.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 16:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mesopotamian

As you know, one of my favorite words.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 16:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Mesopotamia" - one of my favorite B-52's songs.

wow.

JBR, are your dreams usually like this? I ask cos mine are usually plotless, but 'about' the bizarre architectural mashups in which they take place (mall + Hell, mc escherish college campuses, houses I grew up in somehow rebuilt on a Hong-Kong style boat-shantytown)

I don't often have, uh, sexy dreams - but the other night I dreamt I was jerking off, which is oh so disappointing. What a waste

I am so ashamed: I had a Momus dream! I dearly hope it was only a coincidence that this happened the night after I saw the nude picture of him.
So in my dream I have to give a presentation in front of an auditorium full of people. But the student presenting after me brings his friends up to the podium with him, and they're all dressed in expensive-looking Teletubby-like suits. While my presentation had been more mundane, they start performing these dramatic MrWizard/Beakman/Bill Nye type demonstrations. The audience eats it up of course. In my dream I feel that the suits (for some reason) give them an unfair advantage, and the dramatic demonstrations are also kind've cheating or something, so I go into an adjacent room and sulk about thinking that I'd like to have a cigarette if I were a smoker. Then Momus, who was in the audience, comes in and asks what's wrong, and I confide in him how I feel about the other presenters. But THEN he immediately proceeds to go into the auditorium, directly to the podium, and tell everyone there what I had said. He meant well, and everyone pretended to be sympathetic, but I knew that they all were really thinking what a whiney brat I was.

Oh that's totally how most of mine go! Especially high school/college campuses, like in the old buildings and stuff. I always kind've thought that it was just because I enjoy exploring the empty and old parts of buildings and tunnels and stuff in my waking life, but now that I'm starting to get more into the physical side of sleep psychology I think it might have something to do with patterns of hippocampal activation during REM cause like your hippocampus is supposed to have all these projections to your association areas and that whole pathway just lights up when you're doing things involving spatial stuff and learning like exploring novel environments and things.

last night i dreamt that david hyde-white (=niles in frazier) and i were re-enacting a history of the uk tory party somewhere in carlton house terrace (nr the "front" = posh-not-public entrance of the ica, which only the staff ever user): a stream of ppl — representing the rank and file of the party — were sedately climbing an ornately sweeping circular staircase (the foreign office type buldings have a lot of these), while niles and i were performing daring overtaking stunts on the *outside* of the banisters, this to represent how high fliers and big beasts get advancement and approval in the party, and ultimately (by getting to the top quicker and more riskily) become leaders of men

i think we were trying to resolve an argument abt the recent catastrophic dynamics of the party, but were both of us too scared of falling to actually act out the thought experiment properly (i also think he wz pro the party and i wz anti — i certainly am when awake — and that this wz why we disagreed)

Last night I dreamt that I had a baby kitty and a baby munki that I kept in a cot in the living room. I would get up and snuggle them when I couldn't sleep. If this does not qualify as my first ILX-related dream, I shudder to think of the nightmares still to come...

I dreamed I saw rainy! I've never seen a picture of her before, ever. Somehow I was in an enormous Humvee truck kind of thing and me + the other guys in the truck sort of crashed into this dining room and suddenly the hood had a table cloth on it and we were all eating a mid-day lunch with wine and a glass decanter full of water. The truck was still stuck in the wall, halfway in the room and halfway out. rainy was sitting at one end of the table/hood and she started talking but in Finnish or something that I couldn't understand and I was impatien, I had to ask her point-blank "are you rainy?" and she said no, she wasn't, and I knew that because I'd interrupted her and jumped in so quickly she really wasn't anymore, whereas previously she really had been

I had a dream last night that there was this new poster named Auburn Dalliance. She went straight to the top of the USERS page. Then someone started a thread about why she chose the last name Dalliance for her pseudo.

Also, someone started a thread on housemates and it turned out that a bunch of different posters had lived with Ned Raggett at one point or another. They all kept going on and on about what a perfect housemate he was. So, for then on, 'Ned Raggett' meant someone who was a good housemate. People would post, "I'm moving to a new apartment and I really need to find a Ned Raggett..."
