I hate to say it, Cap'n, but I think you need to be toilet trained.

(yup, I know I'm ignoring the past 70 years of psychiatry. but this ain't Ask Dr. Maslow or Ask Dr. Piaget, so what am I supposed to do?)

mods: plzzzzzz to change the title of this board to Ask Dr. Maslow, post-haste.

I dreamt that I was walking down a sidewalk in some generic city. three (college?) girls were walking about a quarter of a block ahead of me, all of them sporting fancy, expensive-looking dresses and elaborate hairdos.

pretty soon they stopped in a parking lot and just stood there. I joined up with them and started to chat. they were French & were also v v obnoxious: they couldn't stop talking about how wonderful and pricey their clothes and jewellery were. I couldn't stand them.

at the far end of the parking lot was a ladies' clothing store. I led the girls toward it, hoping to ditch them as soon as they got inside. the store was closed (it was very early in the morning), but when I knocked on the door, a kindly old lady answered it.

at that moment, the girls transformed into life-sized wax dummies. apparently they assumed dummy form whenever they were in the presence of people other than me. the shopkeeper got really excited because she thought I was delivering a shipment of brand new mannequins. I helped her carry the dummies inside, and together we stood them up beside the dress displays. pleased to have gotten rid of those nasty girls, I left the store and went about my business.

when I came back later that day (via time warp), the dummies were still in place, and the store was teeming with customers. I hung the dummies on tall clothing racks so that their feet were suspended a few feet above the floor, knowing that they'd be furious and disoriented when they turned back into humans.

in the admin menu there's a funny thing. here's part of it:

Ban Pattern

This is a sophisticated banning mechanism. Please be aware of what you are doing with it, as it gives you the ability to ban a range of users....If you don't know how to use regular expressions (Java regular expressions, which differ from Perl 5), then turn back now! You could wind up banning a country!

i dreamt i was like crazy obsessive about the part in my hair cuz it was goin all over

goaty (harbl), Sunday, 5 April 2009 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link

it means that your life feels like a "bad hair day" and it is out of your control to fix it no matter how much you wanted to.
as you life as a broad term here. it could be just you or it could be you and everything you deal with day to day.

guys i have a recurring theme in my dreams related to my teeth. a lot of times (in my dreams) a tooth will fall out, but last night i dreamed that i fell and chipped one of my front teeth. what does this mean?

prostitutes all over the place (k3vin k.), Monday, 6 April 2009 04:21 (fifteen years ago) link

i would like to know as well, in my teeth dreams they all fall out and I spit them out one at a time.
i think it means that you feel like you don't have control over your own life.

CaptainLorax, Monday, 6 April 2009 04:34 (fifteen years ago) link

last night i dreamed that i fell and chipped one of my front teeth. what does this mean?

of all your teeth, your front teeth are of course the ones that are most visible to the people around you. a chipped front tooth, then, might indicate that you're anxious about the way other people perceive and judge you. you fear that you have a glaringly obvious personality flaw, or maybe you've suffered a sudden and serious blow to your reputation. either way, you consider yourself incapable of hiding or rectifying the problem on your own. the only way to repair a chipped tooth is to see a dentist, so maybe you need to work out your issues with a skilled mentor, whether it be a friend or a counselor or a swami or what have you.

the whole point of parting your hair is to divide it into two orderly, distinct sections (duh). so trying and failing to keep your hair parted is a sign that you have trouble keeping all the pieces of your life in their proper places. maybe you strive to keep your personal life and working life separate from each other, and you're freaking out because they're starting to overlap in unpleasant ways. you feel overwhelmed because you're playing two (or more) different roles at once, and it can be hard to stay in character day in and day out. your life is too neat, too structured, too compartmentalized, and it's perfectly healthy for things to get a little mussed up from time to time.

also, lots and lots of hairspray.

Dreamed last night about a spinoff of The Wire that centered around a female sniper. She was an expert sniper but unfortunately she was also a werewolf, a male werewolf in fact, and when she began to change he/she would be much less effective because he/she would start to sympathize with the hunted party.

i had some seriously disturbing dreams last night.

for a while i dreamed about lying on a bed studying musical scores and listening to them but the bed was like, in our press office and my coworker was at his normal desk/computer working away and my other coworker was in and out and we were discussing dates in the future when our boss would be out of town and who would cover what.

then i had another dream.
i was with my entire extended family at some kind of resort. my uncle had died i think? i kept going out on the balcony. i also went swimming a lot. then my cousin, who had just had a baby but was pregnant again, showed up with her husband. she was holding her baby and they were walking on the balcony but it was really steep. i asked if i could help but she said no. then she mentioned something about getting her period tomorrow and it turned out there had been a car accident in which she lost the second baby (very graphically). it was very sad and i felt really bad but she seemed ok? then i was in the kitchen preparing plates of food for my family to eat. they were all seated around a giant table eating charcuterie type stuff, but we were running out so i didn't eat anything. then we decided to go swimming but there was a debate about going to the pool versus the beach. i said beach because it was free, whereas you had to pay like $20 for the pool. my mother wanted to charge me a $5.95 shipping and handling fee for my towel, which i thought was ridiculous because i had packed and brought the towel myself in my own suitcase. i suddenly realized that both of my uncles had died in the course of a few months, and it was really alarming. while we were on the way to the beach in my mother's car that was missing all the window glass, i got a call from my brother-in-law, who was very distraught because my cousin was flaking out on him over some kind of phone meeting they had scheduled with a consultant. i tried to explain to him that my cousin, who was in another car, is mentally retarded and he did not really get the idea of having this appointment, but my brother-in-law was just really upset and teary about how this was going to lose a lot of money for him. i tried to tell him he was being ridiculous and that he could not blame my cousin, and that i would try to have my cousin call him once we reached the beach but that it did not mean he would even comprehend why he was calling. we got to the beach and i told my cousin to call my brother-in-law and he seemed excited (because he loves my brother-in-law) but i don't think he had a clue what the call was about. then i woke up.

what do my dreams mean???

I dreamt that I was headed to a party. As soon as I walked in the party room, someone tossed me a red sweatshirt, probably because I didn't look "hip" enough in my yellow long-sleeved shirt and jeans. I slipped it on, and the only way I could think of to express my gratitude was by shouting, "Hey, I look like McDonald's!"* and folding the end of one of my sleeves into the shape of a McD's arch. no one thought I was funny iirc.

*cuz of the red & yellow shirts, get it?

I dreamt that I was doing the "light show" for a Lily Allen concert. Very old fashioned "oil on an overhead projector" setup. Keith Allen was there, laughing at me for being so amateur. I said "OK then watch this", and switched on both bulbs in the OHP, which both immediately blew out. I turn around and KA is laughing at me.

Brian Lehrer was having a segment in which listeners picked their favorite song and said why. The bumper music on the way out was a kinda awesome remix of Around the Way Girl that appeared to have been made w/ LL's participation (implying it was Brian's pick? I wondered why). I did pretty good production work on that one.

tehresa, it means you fear that you're too ambitious for your own good. you seek to impress people with dazzling displays of prowess, but you suspect that you'll burn out at any moment because you're not skilled enough to do the job properly.

I dreamt that I walked out of a bookstore and onto an early 20th century city street, complete with stone pavement, streetcar tracks, rows of swanky brownstones, et cetera. a group of ≈10 people were gathered up the road, and I recognized them as my neighbors. as I neared them, they told me there was a terrible blizzard coming. they said Mrs. _____ (she had a name, but I forget it) was out driving somewhere in her steam car, and they were afraid she'd get stranded in the storm and freeze to death. some guy with a mustache and bowler hat pulled me aside and said we had a neighborly duty to make sure Mrs. _____ was alright. I just wanted to go home and sit by the fire, but I agreed to help him out. we fast walked down a bunch of streets and alleyways searching for Mrs. _____. the steam car was nowhere to be found.

at some point we walked under a bridge and onto a sandy strip of land between two sets of train tracks. we followed the tracks for what seemed like many miles. finally we climbed up a small hill and found a dinky little steam car idling on the sandy ground and puffing out steam like crazy. Mrs. _____ was messing around under the hood, and she didn't seem to notice us. the dream kinda peters out at this point, but I don't think Mrs. _____ needed our help.

waht does this mean?

you are nervous baout something, but it's all gonna work out ok. you won't let yourself believe that, though, so you're dreaming about fake emergency situations that aren't really emergencies.
