recently on ILX Dreams...

Ha

I dreamt about ILX except ILX was a spaceship and I was a fucking SPACE WHALE just spiralling around outside without a care in the world.

ease his sorrow about the bong
made me lol

not ilx-specific... but anyhow, last night i dreamed that i was reading an article about an exhibition celebrating people who scale the sides of tall urban buildings for fun/thrills. there were plans to display various features of buildings' exteriors which served as classic footholds used by the climbers

also read an article about a trend involving the use of decorative light switch panels found in mcdonald's restaurants. the writer ripped on a whole foods for using one of the mcdonald's ones in their store. also, in the dream the produce section at whole foods was known as "the organic play station"

hahaha

I dreamt I was reading a thread where underrated aerosmith albums produced evidence that Satan was real. It was a really long and controversial thread that ended with everyone going "oh fuck!" Actually it felt a lot like the U.S. politics thread. The devil was my #1 childhood fear, I've spent years convincing myself many reasons this is an invalid fear, and I felt so vulnerable and scared feeling all my reasons unravel. I woke up and had to pee and I was almost too scared to leave bed.

I hate that - waking up from a bad dream, need to take a slash, but too scared to get out of bed

There is a wild monsoon storm outside, and I am running through it with a jacket over my head trying to get somewhere inside. I duck into a library. It is empty and silent but for a bay of 1980s Macintosh computers. The walls are tall and full of leather-bound books. My phone buzzes with a text message. I open it:

MAN SEES U
-- The 1p3 Janitor

I whirl around. There is no one. I look out a window. There is a thunderclap. Now follows the strike of lightning, and there in the pouring rain stands BERNARD, THE JANITOR OF 1P3, 6 feet tall like a man, in wet janitorial garb with an awful emptiness in his eyes.

I run.

^conflagration

It was me, corey, Xgau (!), and someone else noteworthy (or at least noteworthy on ILX) but I can't for the life of me remember. We were taking about the Beatles and corey and this other guy were being snobs, saying they hate the early Beatles (we were listening to their version of "Please Mr. Postman"), that they weren't advanced enough, that it was mere rock 'n' roll, and Xgau and I were like "Ha! Get real, snobs!" Barely a dream, really.

I bet the other guy was lex pretend.

Even half of Rubber Soul is too shrill and tinny for me to enjoy, so it's not unlikely.

Lex listening to the Beatles, however.

Perennial mystery-man 'nakhchivan' cropped up in my dream earlier...he was living upstairs in my university-attending brother's loft room and when I met and greeted him he told me he had renounced his former name and preferred to be known as 'nakhchivan'. Then I repeated this to him and he snippily corrected my pronunciation. Then he said 'I'll see you online'. Dude even gave his birthdate (7 days before me). At some point I had to take my supporting tooth-brace out to speak properly. It was odd.

anyway, my dream isn't ilxor-involved but I had one of the strangest dreams ever the other night — I had found both my kittens who had ran away when I was living in FL a year ago, but one of their heads had been replaced by an outdoor water faucet. It was horrifying, like it was trying to be affectionate and I was just afraid.

BERNARD, JANITOR OF ILX?!?!?!?!?!?!

ha i gotta renounce this name but i don't want to be changing dn's all the time [via markers/kskhighway/ksh/kelpolaris etc]

I was chillin' in the front seat of an early 90s toyota corolla with my friend Todd, the Prince of Fruit. We were parked in downtown D.C., but it looked like some British high street. I was eating apple scrapings out of some brass device. We had just finished this huge epic adventure and were talkin' about this girl Tara who wouldn't give us the time of day. All of the sudden Todd says "Oh shit, here comes the Prince of Pipes!" The Prince of Pipes sauntered over to our car, exchanged some pleasantries and hopped in the back seat, where there was this Vox amplifier. The Prince of Pipes was ZS!

Oh yeah, he smelled like a dirty pipe.

hahahahaha

I do live in DC, too! But I am no longer not the Prince of Pipes, sadly.

BERNARD, THE JANITOR OF 1P3

thinking of Beauregard?

I had a dream that I drove to California and hung out with Justin3 and ytth! They asked what I wanted to do and I told them "ice skating." They said it was too hot for ice in California, but they did have a "California ice capades arena" where you could go indoors and pretend you were ice skating. The ice capades arena had rainbow banners & ribbons hanging fron the walls and ceiling, and those little hangy crystals people put in their cars to make rainbows appear everywhere. They were playing The Free Design and the Fifth Dimension. We all roller skated around in circles together on a concrete floor, and laughed and had a good time.

It wasn't until I went to type this up just now that I remembered roller skating rinks are a real thing.

It made me want to hang out with Justin3 and ytth for real. We had the best dream fun!

Also I can't rollers skate at all IRl so that was very thrilling!

omg that sounds rad!

but i can't skate irl!

<3

in dreams we both can
in real life, neither of us can

every second of the night
I live another life

<3
corey, did you know that is one of my favorite songs?

mine too!

I had a dream that I was tutoring a class of ilxors on the writing of some really bad Dave Eggers-type writer named Ezra.

so Abbott was coming to visit me and she got here and she was CUH RAZY and she also had this v strange accent. And anyway we met up in some sort of store (for some reason), but then she kept running away to other stores! At one point I went to look for her at a pet store, but as I was walking in all the other employees were walking out in a single-file line and told me they were closed. No Abbott was to be found :(

Well first plax(ico) and I were getting all bundled up bcz it was really cold outside and we were going hunting with this huge group of people, and one of them was this rapper who was p famous or something. So anyway he decides to perform for us before we all go out (in this really boring looking room w/ a dropped ceiling and fluorescent lights and folding chairs), and at one point he mentions he's v excited coz his mom is here today, and we turn around and she's in the back of the room smiling and waving. And he's very sincerely going on about how grateful he for is mother and that she's here, and then she starts tearing up and crying and shaking her head and is all "No, no, I can't do this"

So later everyone leaves to go hunting but plax and I stay back and hang out w/ our famous rapper buddy, and we asked him "What was up with your mom earlier?" and he just started laughing and was like "Oh, that was just some dude I paid to dress up like my mom"

Then later, I was in some weird place where there was this crazy psychotic bitch who had powers to do whatever she wanted (like, control your mind and use ESP to throw things at you and shit), and the only way to 'defeat' her was to realize how lame and stupid she was instead of being scared of her. So anyway, I'm totally over her from the get-go and she's just being an annoying pest, but then del shows up, and he doesn't know the secret yet! So here I am just kickin it w/ my bro and she fucking makes him FALL IN LOVE W/ HER and it is so goddamn annoying. She also keeps throwing really large objects at me, which is also annoying. Finally somehow I manage to wrench him free, and there's a door that leads from her crazy world back into the real world, but he is still smitten w/ her and (earnestly) writes lyrics from some Train song on the door for her before we leave.

has a dream i was talking to the tune is space and then slowly as he was talking i realized he was call all destroyer and it was really embarrassing that i had made that mistake. it was an easy mistake to make bc call all destroyer looked nothing like he does irl and had the tune is space's haircut/style.

HAD

I dreamt last night that my wife had a bunch of ilxors over for a dinner party. When everyone arrived you were dressed head to toe in female muslim clothing. I remember thinking "wow, I didn't really picture any of them like that".

Was hanging out with tune is the space in Asheville and he tricked this teenage girl into believing that he was a member of the Smashing Pumpkins.

had a dream where i was walking up a steepish driveway with iiiijjjj. His wife came out of the house to greet us. His wife and I said 'Hey!!!!' at the same time and as we approached her I said in an overly excited way (referring to iiiijjjj and myself) "Look! Now you can see for yourself. We're not the same person!!!!'
