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?

barfy (harbl), Saturday, 25 April 2009 22:34 (fourteen years ago) link

tehresa, Saturday, 25 April 2009 22:37 (fourteen years ago) link

i dreamt my grocery store was being changed into a super-version of itself, like a huge suburban version (now it is just "neighborhood" size or something) and it was so confusing and i was lost. there was no produce at all out yet. i got very confused in the cereal area too. cereal dreams.

barfy (harbl), Sunday, 26 April 2009 13:16 (fourteen years ago) link

I dreamt I went to the supermarket and was surprised to see bottles of pomegranate juice, which had been illegal until recently because of its hallucinogenic properties. they had plain pom juice and pom-cherry blend (which really exists — I had no idea), and after much thought I settled for a bottle of the pure stuff. I felt a little guilty when I went through the checkout line, like I was getting away with buying drugs or something.

blue fescue (unregistered), Thursday, 30 April 2009 18:37 (fourteen years ago) link

(tbh I think I was confusing pomegranate juice with absinthe for some strange reason)

I dreamt I was taking a riverside stroll with Abe Vigoda by my side. Abe had a weird, fist-sized liver spot on his right cheek. He was my friend. At the sandy river's edge, hordes of people were eating lunch and enjoying the mild springtime weather. As Abe and I walked farther and farther downstream, stray people would emerge from the crowd and offer Abe bits of their lunches, which he politely accepted. He soon had more food than he knew what to do with, so gave a lot of it to me. I appreciated Abe's generosity but was secretly jealous that people worshiped him and ignored me just because he was a celebrity and I wasn't.

other than that, I've been having the usual ho-hum dreams about failed exams and dying grandparents/pets.

i dreamed i was looking at an apt and the carpet was dirty so i was steam cleaning it and it wouldn't get clean, it was just pushing dirt around. then i went to the next room and it was like this huge house with secret doors and beautiful hardwood flooring and wood trim and colorfully painted walls. but then i realized i was in the wrong apartment, and this was like 3 connected apartments, but i couldn't figure out which was the right one and where one ended and the other began or which door was for which apartment.

what does my dream mean?

tehresa, Saturday, 9 May 2009 18:49 (fourteen years ago) link

it means you can whistle through your teeth in 3 different octaves at the same time.

also i couldn't lock the doors is that significant

I have recurring dreams that I'm in school and it's the end of the semester when I suddenly realize that I am registered for a class that I either never attended or was supposed to drop but didn't and so will therefore fail. What does it mean?

I should probably note that I actually did this as an undergrad and did fail the class. But why am I dreaming about this 10 years later and what can it mean now?

To dream that you are in school, signifies feelings of inadequacy and childhood insecurities that have never been resolved. It may relate to anxieties about your performance and abilities. If you are still in school and dream about school, then it will naturally serve as a backdrop to your dream world.

Alternatively, a dream that takes place in school may be a metaphor for the lessons that you are learning from your waking life. You may be going through a "spiritual learning" experience.

tehresa, Sunday, 10 May 2009 04:47 (fourteen years ago) link

it means you have trouble deciding whether to escape or confront certain responsibilities. for whatever reason, you want to have your cake and eat it too. on the one hand, you want to be held responsible for your work (i.e. you signed up for the class & didn't bother to drop it), but on the other hand you don't want to be responsible for it (because you don't show up for class). thus you're left in an uncomfortable middle ground where you lack both the freedom that comes from escaping an obligation (i.e. dropping the class asap) and the sense of accomplishment that comes from facing it head-on (i.e. showing up and doing your work). in the end, you have no choice but to be held accountable for whatever task you've committed yourself to (i.e. fail the class) no matter how hard you've been trying to force it out of your mind.

this kind of dilemma tends to play out a lot in relationships. for instance, you might have a friend you don't get along with very well. you're too afraid to come out and say, "I don't want to be friends anymore," but you're too angry to work out your differences and stay in contact with the person. but inevitably that friend-not-friend will come back to you and be like, "What's going on? Are we still bros?" and suddenly you'll have to deal with a boatload of unpleasant feelings and memories.

the solution, predictably enough, is to decide whether you want to break off or stick with an obligation/friendship/whatever, and to act upon that decision with as much conviction as you can muster. taking sides is often less painful then trying to have the best of both worlds, even though it might not seem that way immediately.

i had a dream that i went to a football game and it was "playoffs" like instead of bcs this was like a semi-final game and the game i went to was ohio university (that's weird but it was ohio but not osu because the colors were green) vs. texas. also the stadium was a new design where the field is vertical, like the entire stadium is tipped sideways. my seats were supposed to be on the side where your stomach would be facing the ground. i was really scared. i don't think i ever made it to the game. what does it mean?

i dreamed that i was driving around what looked 90% like my parents' town (where i grew up), and i at one point saw someone i know but not from that town. they were driving a different car than usual, and somehow i ended up behind them for a long time, but then they were behind me, and it was this weird constantly following each other thing but never quite connecting or acknowledging each other and i felt somehow guilty. and then i looked and saw that their glasses were on my dash and i was confused as to how they were driving. then i got on the highway. they were behind me. in front of me was a truck that had cheese puffs flying out the back! but a sign that said 'do not eat!'. from the left side, regular ones were flying out (like cheetos), from the right, it was snowing cheese balls. they came into the ventilation system of my car and got chopped up so it was like cheesy flaky corn raining everywhere. then i got off the highway and drove down a major road but i have no memory of anything happening next. maybe i woke up?

tehresa, Tuesday, 12 May 2009 14:15 (fourteen years ago) link

I have been having weird dreams lately that feel more "real" and more vivid than ever. To the point that when I wake up they feel like memories. The weird part is they seem to continue on from the night before, eg last week I dreamt after a club I was in I went to a party in somebody's house, the only hitch being it was in a small French village that felt vaguely familiar, possibly from a family holiday as a child. Was seriously weird and felt like I was in this dream for hours. When I woke up I had dreamt so much that I was like "thank god that was all a dream, all those complicated and weird events".

Might need to sharpen my lifestyle up a bit.

I dreamt I went to a chop shop in some guy's garage because I couldn't afford the (legal) market price of $1000 to get one of my car's wheels replaced. instead of handing me a stolen wheel, the guy insulted me by saying I had "porpoise cheeks." I have no idea what he meant by that, but I was extremely offended and nearly in tears. I stormed out of the shop without getting what I came for.

I dreamt that I was explaining my guitar pedals to Stephen fry, who was in full on "popular beat combo tweed jacket" mode and asking me dumb questions like "what is a cable? I don't understand, what does it actually do?", and I'm all like "FFS man! you have two dozen computers, of course you know what an f-ing cable is!"

i dreamt i received a postcard from someone because i hadn't been emailing and they were wondering what was wrong and if i hated them

fantazy land (harbl), Sunday, 17 May 2009 22:51 (fourteen years ago) link
