I had several very strange dreams yesterday |
|
The most bizarre involved a married couple having breakfast in the restaurant of a posh hotel. The woman was acting drunk even though she wasn't (how I knew this I don't know). She was giddy and giggling, and talking with bacon hanging out of her mouth. It was apparent to everyone but her that her husband was quite irritated with her. This went on for some time when suddenly he leaned over and hissed, "If you don't stop that right now I swear!".
The woman sat straight up, chastened, and began to act more appropriate. Then the husband dropped the bomb on her. He wanted a divorce. He handed a sheaf of blue legal pages to her, which she proceeded to look through. Each page she flipped through she muttered things like "No, this is BS, no way, I don't think so", and when she got to the end she slammed the entire thing down on the table and stormed out of the restaurant.
She went up the stairs toward her room grumbling about her husband the entire time. When she got to the room she began packing, calling a maid and bell-boy to help her out. In her closet besides her clothing and shoes was a Koala bear and two lemurs. Once she got packed she appeared in a ball gown complete with crinolines and a huge bow on the back. Her hair was done up in banana curls and she began doing a musical number with an older gentleman who was dressed in livery. Then she called to the hotel employees to help her carry her baggage downstairs. She passed by her husband who was in the process of packing his things.
As she exited the hotel I suddenly became her and was seeing things from her POV. There was a young woman beside me (daughter? assistant? friend?). I was going on and on about how much of a jerk my husband was, then I paused near the stairs to coax the lemurs to come with me. They crawled up the front of my dress and curled up in my hair. Then we proceeded down the stairs to a wide walkway where some fair was going on. I was asking the young woman how she liked my dress, then shouting things to passersby. I saw a woman dressed all in pink and yelled, "Are you one of those Code Pink ladies? You know, fighting for peace and all of that silly stuff?".
Next thing I knew I was myself in normal clothes but in the same place. I was before a table with a CD player on it and I was struggling to get a dangly earring out of the CD player mechanism. Once I finally extracted it the earring flew out of my hand and landed just under the tire of a guy's motorcycle. I tried to get it but he revved the engine and took off, sending the earring to who knows where. I was quite dismayed.
Just then two guys walked up and one, who looked very much like "Angel" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, asked what had happened. I told him and he pulled out a pair of dangly earrings from his pocket and offered them to me. I thanked him and he told me I should leave the area. I started to walk away as he and his friend went toward the graveyard to the right.
Suddenly I heard running footsteps and turned to see "Angel's" friend running toward me. He was a vampire! and asked me, "Do you want to play?". I screamed and took off running. He caught me and was on top of me about to bite me when "Angel" came up and grabbed him.
And that was the end of the dream.

1. So, was Angel's friend a Fundie? |
|
Wow. Lots of symbolism there. But I have no idea what it may represent to you.
What do you think it means?

3. I'm no good at dream interpretation |
|
Angel's friend was a vampire (and if you've ever watched BTVS you know Angel is a vampire, though one with a soul so overall he's a good guy--except when he lost his soul). Of course I've jokingly referred to fundies as vampires in the past so maybe in some way he was a fundie. :rofl:

I got an even better pair from that nice "Angel" guy. But you have to lay off the biting stuff.

7. What a great product name! |

There's an Italian cleaning product here called "Fabuloso!" (Yes, the exclamation point is part of the name.) :thumbsup:

Yeah, it's smokey flavored strips of tempeh. |
|
So, it's basically smoked strips of fermented soy bean cakes.
I love it.

10. This must be the week for weird dreams.... |
|
...I had a very strange one a couple of nights ago:
My brother, my wife, and myself, were going to my wife's father's house. My brother and I had found out that Hitler was hiding out behind her father's house in some woods. We were going to capture him, and turn him over to the World court. The dream was vivid as hell, and I can remember conversations, and every detail.
p.s. In the real world, my wife rarely sees her father, he doesn't have woods behind his house, and I've been estranged from my brother for about 2 1/2 years. Yet in my dream, we were all working in concert together. Where's Freud when you need him?...:shrug:

Maybe you seek a family reunion and that's why you dreamt of all of you being together?
In one of my other dreams I was visiting with my grandmother and she's been dead for several years. :shrug:

11. All right, lets see who can interpret it the weirdest! I'll start! |
|
At first, the woman with bacon in her mouth (and not knowing) was symbolising your own inability to 'fit it' with the average person where you are, and your inability to understand that.
You then displayed your contempt for how written things are overriding the human element (like that recent bill about marriage) with the BS document, and how you feel that to act in a way that you are not (the woman acting responsibly) will only further remove you from society.
That will do for starters, now someone else 'interpret' the next bit! :)
