I had a dream..(help!)

Damn, smetchie, I wish I knew you well enough to psychoanalyze you. ;) Oh, wait, it's janine's dream thread!


My dream last night included Martin Amis, Prince William (very affectionate), one of my neighbors putting his hand on my butt, and a traffic pileup on a hill where a man was thrown from his truck and survived, but then the truck rolled backwards over him.

I dreamed the Washington Post was changing the font of their logo, from its current gothicness to something more spare and simple. (I just finished reading a memoir by the Post's former editor.)

We got out of the car and took shelter at a friend's house. We kept the aliens at bay by turning an amp to the window and playing electric guitar very loudly. The Star Spangled Banner seemed to work.
Then I realized I needed to cash a check before money ceased to have any value. It was a $500 check from the band Mumford & Sons. I'm assuming I opened for them at some point before I came in on the dream.
I was going to a philosophy class. I'd only been to one previous class the whole semester, so I was nervous and having that "fucking-up" feeling. When I got to the classroom it seemed like the professor was getting ready to administer a quiz or test. I thought, "I hope I can at least bullshit a little bit through this." Instead, she started a slideshow. The first slide was a black and white photo of a friend of mine from 9th grade, in her parents' modern house. Another guy I knew from high school came over and asked me to give up my chair and sit in a really tall director's chair. I climbed awkwardly onto the director's chair. Later we went to a small dinner party and were sitting around in chairs, eating off plates on our laps. The guy I knew from high school surreptitiously took a small jar of tomato sauce and stuck it behind him, to eat later. A man was giving out free, tiny pairs of wooden clogs. I took a pair.
When he thought no one was watching him, my brother wore a fake beard. I was spying on him and when he heard someone coming, he took off the beard. Later, I was hanging out with a metrosexual.


I was supposed to move to Lovedale, Colorado to stay with a sort of foster family and attend college.

On the morning of the wedding, I asked my nephew to scrub the bathroom floor. I told him it would help me a lot. Then I grabbed the paint can and took my husband out to the yard where the wedding was to be and instructed him to paint the floor. I wanted it all nice and white. I headed out to buy the cake.
I went to Safeways, but they didn't have anything. I was going to go to Superstore and Co-op. I was back home and was in the bedroom when I slipped. My husband had painted the bedroom floor instead of the floor outside.
No wonder I'm feeling tired this morning.
One of the Assistant U.S. Attorneys in Patrick Fitzgerald's office (the northern district of Illinois) showed me a letter he had written to a woman on monarch sized note paper. He had addressed her as "whoremonger."

Emily Post recommends foolscap or A4 paper for anti-whoremongering letters, but in a dream, I guess the rules can be relaxed somewhat.

I like the jello pompadour image, Rhyan--very funny.
I went into a room where Prince William and Joe Biden were lounging on a bed, but not in a sexual way. It was like the bed was just a random piece of large furniture. Joe Biden said to me, “Are we going to see you at dinner?” I said, “When is the dinner?” He said, “Tonight.” I said, “I feel like such an idiot.” I realized his daughter was getting married to William, and the rehearsal dinner (or something like it) was tonight and I’d gotten the invitation but hadn’t paid much attention to the names and dates on it. He said, “That’s okay.” William’s shirt was off and his shoulders were freckled. He was very friendly; in fact, our shoulders were touching.
I've learnt a new word! Maybe the shapes of England and Delaware coupling, overseen by a statuette of Neil Kinnock.


There's a movie script in just that one phrase, Heidi.

You should try being in my dreams!
But not this one (otherwise, you might've ended up being a baby daddy prospect like all the others)...

In one, we had bunnies... lots of 'em for eating. I was given the task of slaughtering them. But I kind of became attached to one in particular and decided to hide it in the Igloo ice chest with carrots and grass and kept the water drain hole open so it could breathe. I was soooo worried that someone was going to take her out of the ice chest and cook her! So I took her everywhere with me, even to the bathroom. And I gave her a mohawk. I named her "Pepper."
In another dream, I spent most of my time trying to talk serial killers out of hurting people. For some reason, they'd listen to me. I was trying to get them to turn a new leaf and give nonviolence a chance and... being nice can be fun!!! This is a recurring dream of mine. I don't have it often, but I've had it more than once... since I was about 4, maybe 5 years old. Except back then, they were monsters - ykno - Frankenstein, vampires, werewolves... and occasionally Natasha and Boris or the Road Runner.
I have very vivid dreams. I love sleeping for that very reason. And I usually remember them.
