How cool. I usually just dream I'm in a bar.

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.

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
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

Hstencil, you weren't mean to me. You just ... neglected to mention me.

Last night I dreamt I was teaching my little sister to play cricket. It was the nicest dream I've had in ages.

Last night I dreamt that I was in a supermarket with George Bush and he was putting loads of boxes all marked "Dubya Chow" into his trolley

david hyde-pierce surely, mark? except it was your dream so not really.

I had a dream that wilfred hyde-white was keen for me to stay in austria to give a speech.

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..."

Sarah McLUsky (coco), Thursday, 8 May 2003 11:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

*dies laughing* Oh heavens. Well, I can always promise to vacuum, at the least.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 8 May 2003 12:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned even pays extra rent because his records take up so much space.

Two nights ago I dreamt my ILX fantasy baseball team was in twelfth place when in fact the next morning it was in sixth.

felicity (felicity), Thursday, 8 May 2003 13:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

last night i dreamt james blount (who was a girl) and i were trying to destroy a giant man eating shark who was terrorizing the "town" (!) of ilx

jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 8 May 2003 14:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

Did you succeed?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 8 May 2003 14:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

as i remember i set my arm and most of the dock on fire when trying to use my homemade flamethrower.

jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 8 May 2003 14:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

I WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE OF THIS. I want the villian who is denying that there is a threat to the town be Chris of M. Matos's childhood trauma fame.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 8 May 2003 14:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

"we've got to get a bigger car."

jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 8 May 2003 14:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

I wish I could have dreams like this!

Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 8 May 2003 15:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

it was really involved...like i had to put together the flame thrower by pressurizing (?) this propane tank and attaching a spray nozzle to it while still finding a way to light it...there was also a subplot where i believe i may have been cheating on nancy with her best friend girl-blount

jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 8 May 2003 15:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

! Genius!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 8 May 2003 15:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well, I can always promise to vacuum, at the least.

Hooray! With this info, and that Ned is probably going to stay at my place in October, I now know I need do no more cleaning this year! Hurrah!

i have been having quite a few dreams lately. one in which i was drafted for the us army by colonel klink (sp?) to fight in syria. the other in which i lived in a beautiful valley in central otago next to the lindis river and the chills played live in my backyard 24 hours a day, and i drove dean and anton around on my four-wheeler motorbike.

Jess your dream is so Resident Evil. Only with a shark, I guess...

I had a dream last night that I was living in this huge apartment in New York with a bunch of roomates, and one of them was a guy who was completely obsessed with Killing Joke. That had to be Alex in NYC, right?

Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 9 May 2003 12:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ah! I almost forgot! Hstencil showed up in my dream the other night! He looked like a cross between Jason and Sonic and I was in lust just seeing him walking down the street, but then he ran up to me and said "Hi! I'm hstencil!" (he pronounced it as Aitch-Stencil, I recall) and I just started gibbering.

kate, Friday, 9 May 2003 12:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

whoa, that's pleasantly strange. Unfortunately, I don't look much like those dudes (the cheekbones aren't nearly sharp enough, or even present really).

hstencil, Friday, 9 May 2003 13:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

It doesn't really matter, it was a dream, so it was your dream-representation - my subconscious subconsciously thinks you are PHWOAR! obviously. But it may just be because I'm subconsciously cross at HSA for cutting off all his hair. (Cue Beach Boys string swells in the background: Soundartist, no...)

kate, Friday, 9 May 2003 13:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

but maybe he needed a summer cut? It will grow back, you can chart it even.

Last night I dreamed that Nickalicious, a random generic ILX poster, and I all lived in a brick apartment complex. We all got together in the courtyard area to show off our musical instruments and gear. The generic ILXor had a reel to reel eight-track that was built into the outside wall of the apartment building and was one story high. It had giant knobs and dials and everything. Nickalicious had an instrument that looked like a banjo but sounded like an electric guitar. During this part of my dream, Nickalicious looked like I think he does in real life, but in a later part of my dream, everyone went into my apartment to look at my set-up, and Nickalicious had blond floppy hair, a weird-shaped head, no glasses, and a big cleft in his chin. He was vaguely sleazy in this part of my dream.

NA. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 15:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

ha ha, "vaguely sleazy", as opposed to how I'm actually specifically sleazy in real life! ;-)

nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 15:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

I always dream "mark s posts" and then forget to write them down when I wake up: he was saying something about Missy Elliot's career arc being "a chart of successibe vocal-lingual phrasiac compressions" last night. Yes.

Cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 16:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

it is like a videogame that you play too much!

Last night the July 4 NYC FAP must've been on my mind; I dreamt that we were all at a long table and Matos and I were at the end. He was going on about this girl he'd gone on a blind date with; he was quite taken with her and thought he might marry her. Apparently she was Mormon, though, so I was telling him that he'd have to convert and wear the underwear and stuff, and also that he might not want to count on so much as getting kissed before marriage because I knew plenty of Mormons who were that strict about premarital stuff. Obv. I was secretly jealous of her.

teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 19:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

p.s. Matos I am not a stalker. See you in July!

teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 19:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

(I've fucked my chances with Matos, haven't I?)

teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 19:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey, is it awkward in here, or is it just me?

teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's just you. I thought that post was funny.

hstencil, Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey stence, do you want to make out with me?

teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

Is it me or are an awful lot of us having dreams that incorporate nickalicious?

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

uh, sure!

(but I thought you had a boyfriend?)

hstencil, Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey, Nicole: did the Killing Joke fan resemble Russell Crowe? Cos if so, then it was Alex.

I had a dream last night that I was in bed with an ILXor but it was not a sex dream. For some reason I had like frosting on my stomach though. I blame the cold meds.

Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

ally you were in my dream last night. you came to FunQ with me in a nurses uniform.

di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 23:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

i dreamt that i was in a car with my friend T and several (ill-defined) others

she was dressed — as always in waking life — in vivid red and black — but here as designed for eg Jackie O (*not* generally T's style): viz beautifully cut red jacket and skirt, and red pillbox hat!!

we were driving down mare street, and suddenly she leapt from the car, ran over to some workmen, seized a drill and bit from one of them and started drilling things (bricks, planks, all the stuff you build buildings with), and shouting at them — we were too far away to hear what she was shouting but the gist seemed to be "Do you see? Do you see what it's like?"

Anyway the workmen were running around waving their arms about, and she was running around alternately drilling and waving the drill about, and gradually the police arrived to run around and wave THEIR arms about, and meanwhile I was backing the car frantically, trying to magine where a good professional getaway driver would position it for when the drilling ceased and T had to escape

finally i decided this would be in the NEXT STREET: ie where no one was running around or waving their arms about

right at the end of the dream, a great crowd appeared at the end of this empty street, w.T in red at the front, waving the drill and running towards the car — i opened the door so she could jump in, and revved up ready to go — but then i woke up

(actually i just realised i opened the door on MY side, so if she jumped in we'd have driven ofrf with her sitting on top of me...)

Yes. I'm pretty sure it was him.

The subliminal-suggestions-through-posting-on-a-message-board-plan-for-world-domination is finally coming to fruition MUAHAHAHAHA!

(Okay, so I had noticed that too luna, it's kinda weird.)

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 15 May 2003 12:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well okay, but are you sure you want to start here building your world army? Those of us not stoned, drunk or listening to or performing music are probably too busy worrying about panties and writing papers/columns/articles/novels to really be effective. Really. Every time you tried to muster us out, it would turn into a FAP.

We're here to *hic* take over the world, dammit! It is U&K! We will tell you stories about bootyflakes! And call you asshat! DO YOU SEE?

luna (luna.c), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

I put it to you....do either of the individuals pictured here -- happily unencumbered by dignity -- resemble Russel Crowe in the slighest?

http://homepage.mac.com/ltsufura/.Pictures/TIME%20Softball/Voice082702/019.AS.JF.jpg

And yes, haters, that is a Killing Joke cap I'm wearing. The fire gets honored 24/7.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 15 May 2003 17:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dude, what's Russell Crowe doing with that kid from American Pie?
