Dreamy

[greypilgrim]

Ok, this isn't for you to get your dreams analyzed or anything. Just say what you day-dream about on any given day.

Today I looked out the window and saw a McDonald's. I dreamt of what the sign would look like upside-down.

Later this afternoon I saw billions of red, blue, green, and "yellow" (grr, no yellow!) --colored raindrops falling in a rainstorm, but the sun was shining. (I just pictured it)

I just now had a daydream of a bunch of Outcasts telling their "visions" or daydreams here. That was wierd!:eek: Am I the only one here who daydreams?:confused: :D I don't think so...

[Kailita]

Oh, I daydream all right. But most of mine are a bit on the strange side. I can't even think of any to share at the moment...

Heh, here's a classic one that I'm sure a lot of people have. In that one REEEEAALLY boring class where the teacher has a monotone voice and just goes on and on and never shuts up...I know I can't be the only one who does the Charlie Brown thing and hears "Mwa mwa bwa mwa bla bla bla"...:D

[Saucy]

i had a dream once i was being chased by teletubbies! to terrifying.. i will never be the same again

[Vixen Evenstar]

*runs and hides in the corner shivering with terror at the mention of Teletubbies*

Ick! Scary horrible fiendish things! A terror to poor innocent babysitters around the world!

Oh yeah...i saw a fairy once....people told me it was a daydream...oh well...

[YayGollum]

I saw a castle in the clouds one time and people told me I was daydreaming. But then, my evil older sister said she saw it, too. Maybe she was just being evil. :eek: I still gots a superly good memory of the thing. Very detailed. oh well. Why can't we do normal dreams in here, too? No big deal. *hides*

[EverEve]

I have odd ones. They mostly consist of my friends doing truly idiotic things...wait, maybe they arent that odd then...

Gosh, I cant think of my day dreams right now! Gar. I fill you in as soon as I remember. ;) :)

[legolasismine]

Most of my day dreams come true thats why there is one day dream I had that haunts me alot!

[HobbitGirl]

My daydreams are wierd...most of them too wierd to tell, even to a bunch of Outcasts. But since I've been reading Wheel of Time lately my daydreams have had that stuff in them. For instance, I daydreamed I was flying over Tar Valon, when a couple of Aes Sedai decided I was invading thier airspace and they shot me down. :D Like I said, wierd...:D

[Kailita]

I keep daydreaming that my life is a play...kind of like the movie Chicago, for any of you who've seen it. It's weird, but kind of cool.

One of the most annoying things is when you're zoning out and having a really cool or interesting daydream, and then someone comes up and makes you snap out of it and talk to them, then you completely lose your track of thought. I hate that. :mad:

[The-Elf-Herself]

I daydream about all kinds of insane stuff in excruciating detail, but it's all too complicated to talk about here. What I hate is how when I start to daydream people come up to me and ask if something's wrong because I'm being so quiet. Interrupt some lovely strange ideas, they do. Then everybody acts SO surprised that I'm spacing out, apparently they think I shouldn't be like that or it weirds them out or something.

[YayGollum]

Daydreams are very fun and useful, but they're better when you freewrite with them. That's how I come up with all kinds of crazy stories. I have way too many stories in the works right now and I always want to write them down, but by the time I put pen to paper, I've told myself the story so many times that I'm too bored to write it down. *hangs head in shame*

[Kailita]

Yep, I hate that. How annoying. Meh.

Poor Yayish. So many horrible writing dilemmas. :( I feel your pain...I've been there, too. Oh, the angst of writing...:rolleyes:

[Saucy]

i used to write some dreams down but now i just draw comics stories mostly about people i know doing totally weird stuff, the great part about it is u can have whoever u want do whatever u want....to funny
it's real stress relief plus everybody laughs at them... my main character is a banana wearing sunglasses.

[Kailita]

I used to do stuff like that...

I would make comics of my friends and me in our usual, every day settings and predicaments...it was always fun...:)

[redphoenix4ever]

[Dragon]

[redphoenix4ever]

That makes perfect sense to me. :rolleyes: I'm the same way. Some daydreams just shouldn't be shared...

[Dragon]

I think K explained it very well, I mean good....I mean.....??? english is evil, I have it all figured out and then they make me think about it and it gets screwy.....oh woe is me....

[redphoenix4ever]

Fine...so be it...what about nightmares!...cant you share them

[Saucy]

don't tell me about nightmares...2 days ago i saw the movie 'the Ring" and have hardly slept since...but mostly cause i'm scared that if i go to sleep i'll have nightmares about it even though i haven't yet <any sense!!!!!

and about the um private daydreams....did it by any chance involve hot guys...with no shirts...and british accent:p ~just curious no peticular reason~ tee-hee!!!!

[YayGollum]

Scary nightmare (to me *sniff*) ---> I was invisible and running away from goblinses somewhere in the woodses. Later, I was in the shower, but still invisible for some reason :rolleyes: and a bunch of superly scary white mud covered zombies came and covered me with their scary white mud. Not very fun.

Also scary, but now seems silly :eek: ---> I was running away from a mummy that was running after me that squirted dishwashing liquid in my eyes when he caught me. :( :rolleyes:

[Saucy]

dish soap burns!!!!!!!
once i was looking to see why the soap wasn't coming out and somehow squirted it into my eye....:p very humiliating!

[Lossengondiel]

My dreamses are freaky. I dream about everything. Last night I had a dream about the Olympics...a day before i dreamt I didn't have a right foot (huh?). I've dreamt about Spider-Man, Harry Potter, various movies, books, dinosaurs, school, teachers (blegh) and even this guy who I am trying to get over AND IT'S NOT WORKING. Anyone want to hear something in particular?

[Kailita]

Spider-Man! Eeeee! Spidey's the bestest! :D

I have nightmares about spiders eating me sometimes. *Shudders*. Not fun. But the scariest nightmares are when people you love and trust turn evil. I had a nightmare when I was about eight or so that my mom turned into the Grinch and was trying to stab me with a kitchen knife. Hilariously funny now, but back then it scared me so bad that I almost peed my pants.

[Lossengondiel]

Yeah, I had a dream last summer that three of my teachers were chasing me around trying to stab me with a needle.

*shudders uncontrollably*

that was a horrible day when i had to go see him the next day after I had the dream

[HobbitGirl]

Some of the nightmares that I had when I was little seem funny now, but the nightmares I have now are too creepy to describe. <shiver> When I was eight, I had a nightmare that a vampire was waiting for me in a cellar so he could put Scotch tape all over me. Blech. :)

[YayGollum]

Yikes! My crazy older sister does really stupid things in her sleep sometimes ---> One time she dreamed that Batman was chasing after her and she jumped into a lake or something and saw his little ears poking over the water behind her, but when she got to the other side and was pulling herself out of the water, she pulled herself out of her bed in real life. oh well. :rolleyes:

[Lossengondiel]

Um, I tend to do crazy things when I'm asleep too. One time I woke up in the middle of the night screaming because of a dream I had had. And just recently while I was asleep...I sat up in bed kissing my pillow because I was dreaming I was kissing a certain someone *:o blushes uncontrollably :o * but hey, it was a good dream!:o :o :o :o

[YayGollum]

Well, that stuff is usually pretty annoying to me. I gots an evil little sister that always has conversations with herself that make no sense. oh well. At least we don't have any sleepwalkers.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Hmmm, I don't usually get nightmares. I believe there were three I've had in my whole life. One was where my entire family turned into giant spiders. Another where I was being chased by giant killer mutant mosquitos. And a recurring one where we move from our okay house to a really cruddy house somewhere, where we have to sleep in sleeping bags on the floor and there's always tons of things wrong with the place. The nightmare part of this is that in my dream everyone says that the move was all my idea and even though they didn't want to move they did it just for me, so I should be happy. Of course I can't remember any of that. I always wake up feeling superly relieved that we haven't moved anywhere. My good dreams always involve being a Jedi Knight or having some really cool ability. I've had over ten Jedi Knight dreams, which my brother envies because he's only had one and in it he couldn't do anything cool.

[Lossengondiel]

*sigh* my brother...*sigh* and we have PLENTY of bad snorers in my family too. ITS TOO HARD TO SLEEP *blegh*

[YayGollum]

Yikes! Scary dreamses, lady! Yay me for not having any dreamses about books! Anyways, oh well. Sleepwalkers are too scary for me. My evil father snores. Ick. My evil older sister stood up and starting searching through everything in her room one time, talking about needing to find the controls to the door so she could get out, but that's the only time any of my family has walked around. Too creepy!

[Lossengondiel]

If you thought that was scary, just listen to some of my other dreams. One would be climbing up a closet.....hmm more later to come!

[kohaku]

I have bad dreams frequently, and true nightmares with some regularity. But good or bad, my dreams are usually bizarre, often so they're totally indescribable. And i dream that I can fly all the time. One recent dream that was relatively sensible was about scuba diving. My partner and I had to dive down like 30 feet just to get to our wet suits and air tanks. i couldn't hold my breath that long and i started breathing and thought to myself "oh i can breathe because i'm touching my partner's arm." then i couldn't find one piece of equipment which mysteriously appeared on my later. yes, that is a "sensible" dream to me. and like most scuba dreams i ended up hurting my ears.

[YayGollum]

Yes, aren't most dreams indescribable? Or at least you think they're cool and when you try to describe them, it turns out that it's actually pretty achingly stupid? Not very fun. Some comedian says that we should all tell people our dreams without telling them it's a dream in the first place. Keeps them interested. :rolleyes:

[Elfarmari]

I never have exciting dreams. :( I just have 'real' dreams, about stuff that could happen, like going to school or other thrilling stuff like that. It can be confusing when I dream I go to school and have a test the next day, and then wake up and wonder whether I really have the test, or if I was just imagining it.

[Lossengondiel]

I dream very frequently too, and not all of them are bad. but one of the main things that I encounter the most would be me trying to run away from someone/something, and I can't run fast enough, kinda if I was on a treadmill.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Hmm. Most of my dreams fall into the weird but interesting category. Most of them revolve around being trapped somehow and being able to escape, only to be trapped again. The whole dream will be capture and escape over and over, until finally I get tired and I'm about to be permanently caught when I wake up. Not exactly bad, just very interesting.

I never have problems with any of my family snoring or anything. However I do have problems if the wind gets too loud, I live in a valley so it acts as a wind tunnel and amplifies the sound until I can't stand it.

[Lossengondiel]

I have a problem falling asleep when it's too bright. Strange huh?

[kohaku]

Anyone ever dream that they are getting ready to go to school/work just to have your alarm clock go off again? That happened to me this morning. I hit my snooze alarm without waking up but I dreamed I got up and did some weird stuff as I got ready. Something about Garfield comics. Then my alarm went off again, I hit the snooze, did n't wake up, and had a different weird dream about getting up. Finally I got up the third time it went off. It was silly.

[munchkin]

I've dreamed I was requesting Alive, by P.O.D. at a ski resort, and it was playing in my head, and I woke up and it was playing on my sterio, same exact part!!!!!

[The-Elf-Herself]

Yeah kohaku, I've had dreams like that. In all of them I usually end up being ready too late and miss whatever I'm getting up for. Also, lots of crazy stuiff happens.

[Lossengondiel]

A lot of times I wake up, fall asleep, have a dream...wake up, fall asleep, have a dream...

I can have like five dreams a night sometimes. its freaky:confused:

[YayGollum]

No, it's not. I thought that happened to everybody. No? Or are we just crazy? oh well. Yes, I've had plenty of those evil and annoying dreamses where you wake up and then you're not sure when you're actually awake.

[Lossengondiel]

One time I was asleep and I thought, "What time is it?" I opened my eyes (real life) saw what the time was, went "OK" and fell back asleep...

[YayGollum]

Yes, I've done that craziness, too. oh well. Very annoying. But the other thing is a little worse.

[Wonko The Sane]

Just for the record, GP you can do yellow like this: [ color = yellow

:) It's just not in the list! SEE?!

[kohaku]

I've dreamed I was requesting Alive, by P.O.D. at a ski resort, and it was playing in my head, and I woke up and it was playing on my sterio, same exact part!!!!!

Speaking of music in dreams, many times right before I wake up there will be a song playing in my dream, sometimes just background music like in a movie. Then I will wake up to find that I have that song in my head. I can still remember one in particular from a long time ago... I was chasing my boyfriend down a beach at sunset, and the song "Take on Me" by Ah-Ha was playing from nowhere.

[YayGollum]

What's that got to do with anything? just wondering. And who's GP? oh well. *sniff*

I'm so jealous! I've had probably three flying dreams in my whole life, and they've been so glorious, but they're never long enough to enjoy. :(

Sooo many of my dreams are like that. :rolleyes: Strange.

As far as kissing in dreams, as I think Lossen mentioned earlier...heh...I've never had any dreams where I'm kissing anyone. It's always my best friend. Whenever she shows up in my dreams, she always ends up making out with one of my guy friends. It's so weird. Like my mind subliminally connects her with that kind of stuff. Then again...she's not too far from that in real life...just a little bit more outgoing in my dreams...:rolleyes:

My subconscious is wacky.

Heh, a funny dream story...my cousin was on her first date, and she brought her date home late that night to watch movies. So they were sitting there on the couch, watching a movie, doing the things that couples do when they're watching movies :rolleyes:...when her brother walks in (sleepwalking), goes straight to the refrigerator (which is across from the TV in their house), opens the door, pulls down his pants, and PEES in the refrigerator! Then he just calmly pulls his pants back up and shuts the fridge door, turns back and walks to his room, leaving my cousin and her boyfriend staring after him...:D

[Elfarmari]

Last weekend I was at a Key Club convention, and didn't get much sleep. I took a 45 minute nap saturday morning, and had three different dreams about things which didn't happen at key club convention, two about things that didn't happen at school, and two completely random dreams that make absolutely no sense now. How I managed to fit all that into 45 minutes I have no idea. . . .

I have a lot of dreams that are centered around a song, and I wake up in the middle of the song playing on the radio....I'm pretty in tune with the awake world when I sleep, so I'm never completely asleep, which is probably why I sleep so much...:rolleyes: :D

[Kailita]

Ooh...that's weird, D. I don't always have sound in my dreams. It's weird. I get the gist of what's going on, and I don't seem to need sound to illustrate the point...*shrugs* I don't know, my dreams are weird...:rolleyes:

[HobbitGirl]

My dreams are SOOOO varied. Sometimes they'll be as weird as me dreaming I'm a frog and I'm swimming around in a farmer's pond, and then the pond dries up and I'm a rabbit. (<---dreamed that once)

Sometimes my dreams are freakily deja vu like. For instance, I'll be doing something when I'm awake, and remember doing it before somewhere, but I know that I've never done it before. Later on I'll figure out that I dreamed it before. Or, (and this is rarer) I'll dream something, kind of forget the dream, but then do the exact same thing as I did in my dream later on and at that moment remember that I dreamed it before.

Sometimes my dreams are adjacent to the waking world. Sometimes I can even control my dreams, but only for brief periods. (Those dreams are always the best ones. :D)

Sometimes I'll dream about something I'd do when I woke up and think that I was really awake. For instance, once I dreamed that I got up, did my morning routine, and went to school. There I met up with Kailita (this was when we still went to the same school) and we were talking together. Then I realized I didn't do my homework, and told Kailita so, and then the bell rang. Then I woke up. It was like going back in time. So freaky. :D

If any of that made any sense.

Like you care.

:rolleyes:

[YayGollum]

Well, sure. I used to have all of the dreams you were just talking about. Except for the frog and rabbit thing. Yikes!

[Kailita]

Ohmygoshness, I do that ALL the time!!! :eek::eek: It's so freaky! It's not like a psychic thing...but I dream little things about the future all the time. Things will happen in the exact place and exact time that I dreamed them in.

Once I dreamed that me and some friends were driving in a van with a friend's mom at night past a bunch of streetlights, on a specific road, with a specific song on the radio. And then, maybe a month or so later, that exact thing happened! Right down to us driving on that exact road with the exact song playing! It was the freakiest thing ever! So, naturally, I freaked out...everybody thought I was strange...:rolleyes:

[Dragon]

ummm...that happens tyo me too, except it isn't a month later, its almost always that same day or the next one, and something bad is always going to hapen.....that happens to my dad too...ande we boht always wake up wiht terrible headaches

I also have dreams that I have over and over, and they get longer everytime...like I have a dream, then a month or even a year later, I have exactly the same dream, except with more stuff added on to the end.....those give me headaches too....

[Kailita]

I hardly ever re-dream things or have reoccuring dreams. *Shrugs* Maybe it's just a K-thing. :) Do a lot of people have reoccuring dreams?

Last night I dreamed that there were a bunch of really big, black, fuzzy spiders crawling around behind my bedpost, and every time I cringingly killed one (I hate spiders and I'm deathly afraid of them :rolleyes: ), three more would come up in its place. It was sooo freaky. When I woke up, I checked behind my bedpost like a billion times to make sure there were no spiders back there, heh. :rolleyes:

[The-Elf-Herself]

I have recurring dreams. The worse part is when you become aware that you've had the dream before and you know how it's going to turn out but you can't change it.

Yuck that's a terrible dream Kai! I sometimes get dreams where I get into fights and suddenly my teeth are knocked out. I think it was something to do with the fact that I grind my teeth when I sleep, a visual manifestation of the pain. Drives me nuts, I hate fighting. I like the philosophy that if you run away, you live to run away another day. Why bother with doing something that's going to hurt you, even if you win? Better just to talk your way out of it.:D

[Inderjit S]

My day-dreams are inappropriate for this forum. ;) :p

[kohaku]

How many people here have problems with insomnia? I've been having major sleeping problems lately... i can't get to sleep, I can't stay asleep, and when I do sleep I toss and turn and have nightmares. Ick. This morning I had a dream that I got so tired that an entire week just vanished from my memory. then I couldn't write or keep my balance and I fell down a lot when I walked. It was like I was drunk or something. Not a fun dream. But kinda funny in retrospect. I suppose I'll laugh when I start sleeping right again.

Anyway, yeah many times I can control my dreams, it's so cool. Like i'll come across some obstacle or problem, and sometimes rather than solve it I'll just skip ahead to later in my dream and not worry how I got there.

[YayGollum]

No reoccuring, easily controllable, or fighting dreams for me. Also, Yay for insomnia! We get to watch lots of cool shows, right?

[kohaku]

no. I'm not talking about "fun" insomnia. I'm talking about seriously lying in bed for hours not sleeping and then being a total zombie day after day after day. I'm past the point where I just act silly because i'm tired, and I'm not able to get anything done with the extra hours in my day.

[YayGollum]

Ah. Got it. I just don't get tired and have to force myself to go to sleep after a while. Take sleeping pills. Why wouldn't you be able to get things done? oh well. sorry about that. *hides* Feel sorry for me, people. I hardly ever dream nowadays. *sniff* :rolleyes:

[Kailita]

Ooh...that's so cool...I wish I could do that with my dreams. Usually, as soon as I realize that I'm in a dream, I wake up.

Ick, insomnia. That doesn't sound like fun. :o

Poor Yay, not dreaming lately. Well, better to not dream and just have peaceful rest than to dream about large black spiders behind your bedpost! :rolleyes:

[Frodorocks]

I never have bad dreams lately. Which is too bad, because I think they're like horror movies that are personally catered to you. I'm sorry kohaku, I hope you get some rest soon.:) Poor Yay. I only have self inflicted insomnia, I'm a real night owl. :D

[Dragon]

regarding insomnia....ummm I have lots of trouble getting to sleep at night, so I just read and don't worry about it, and then, during the day whenever I start to get sleepy, I sleep.....the teachers get mad, but if your grades are good........

sometimes in dreams, someones will do or say something really mean and I will try to punch them but I can't, like a really big and solid (invisible) pillow barrieer is between me and them....well, I've started to think that (remember when I said I only sort of half sleep?) I punch in real life, but since I sleep face down, I am punching into my bed, and that makes it harder for me to get my arm all the way out, and in the dreams like those, I dont just know what it feels like (<----in most dreams) but I feel it

weird, huh?

[YayGollum]

Yes. Sounds creepy. Anyways, doobedoobedoo... I once dreamt that there were these two rocks that kept grinding together. It kept waking me up because the noise and vibrations were too annoying. *knows that it's not interesting* I didn't want to just put down that first thing.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Oh man. I just had this dream where I was watching a movie at the Most Incredible theater I have ever seen. The screen was enormous and slightly concave, wrapping around both sides of the stadium-seated audience. The surround sound was fabulous and the seats were so comfy. The movie I was watching was Star Trek Generations. I would have wished for Star Wars, but this wasn't exactly a lucid dream. Anyways, at the once point where the ship crashes into this planet the ship seemed to be projected out of the screen and above the audience. Sort of like a 3-D movie but superly better and no glasses required. Oh gosh it was amazing! Very vivid, man what i would have given to change the movie to Star Wars and watch the X-Wing sequence like that. The space battles were literally suspended in front of, around, and above the audience and the explosions would actually shower down these harmless holographic sparks and stuff on the audience. Dude, and my parents wonder why I don't want to get up in the mornings.:D

[Kailita]

Blegh, I hate horror movies, Rockie. :rolleyes:

Whoa, D, that is so funny...and that probably is what's happening. How crazy! :)

[Wonko The Sane]

I had a really nice dream last night.

Usually I sleep in my lame couch bed here at my dad's apartment but I visited my sister and the rest of my family last night and slept on my baby sister's floor in a sleeping bag with my body pillow Martin.
And I cuddled the body pillow and I dreamt it was Snaga.

*embarrassed grins* Hehe.:rolleyes:

[Frodorocks]

Did you name it after Lego?:D

[Wonko The Sane]

No.
I didn't know Legoman then! :)

(PS-It's also Snaga's middle name...but that's not how it got that name either.)

I just think Martin's fun to say. :D

[kohaku]

oops missed a few days. very busy. i'm sleeping better but now i don't have time so i'm sleeping even less :confused: yeah, i used to sleep in class but it's hard to get away with as a college senior. as a general rule i have trouble getting to sleep but things like reading and yoga usually help. its just that occasionally i will go through a really bad phase where nothing works but complete exhaustion, which takes a while.

[kohaku]

oh yes and pills = bad. any kind of drug induced sleep isn't restful. sometimes i will try stuff anyway and it won't even work. like codeine or alcohol. not worth it even when it does work.

[Wonko The Sane]

Codeine gives me a headache.
And it really doesn't help with the pain.

(Has a prescription for it...)

I don't use it anymore cos it makes me feel disgusting...all detached and yucky and it's not fun.

[Dragon]

when I REALLY cant sleep, I get out of bed and do exercises (push-ups, sit-ups, running in place...) until I just cant do them anymore, and my body is exhausted, and the only thing I can do is just lie on my bed like a potato until I fall asleep....

[Rhiannon]

A month ago I dreamed about getting married. A few nights ago I dreamed about getting engaged. Huh.

When I daydream it's usually about books I've read; I add characters, alter the storylines, make up new scenes, etc. Basically I re-write the book.

[Wonko The Sane]

:) I do that too.
I'll take a premise for a story, or even an entire plot and relive it as if it were me and my friends in it.
:) SOO fun.

Rhiannon, you and I should hang out. :) We sound to be very similar. :D

Both totally in love with books! :D

[kohaku]

Exercise hasn't been helping me sleep lately... I'm training for a 5k race so I'm exercising really hard, but not even that put me to sleep. Like I said, real insomnia sucks- absolutley nothing works, even when you're totally exhausted. but whatever, it's over now, I slept superly well last night and I took a nap this afternoon!! woo hoo! I dreamed about tornadoes. I dream about tornadoes a lot. I would really like to see one some day...

[Rhiannon]

:) SOO fun.

Rhiannon, you and I should hang out. :) We sound to be very similar. :D

Both totally in love with books! :D

Sounds good to me! *plops down next to Wonks* Popcorn?

I don't sleep at night at all, even when I try. So I stay up all night reading ;) Mostly bibliocrack, lately the Stephanie Plum series, which is like Bridget Jones from Jersey with a gun. Hardly great literature, but it makes me laugh ;) And I have a ton of novels to read, I don't know where to start.

[Wonko The Sane]

:) You're SO like me!

*Pulls out the popcorn and starts snacking*

I stay up FOREVER reading after posting on TTF.
And I have MOUNTAINS of books I haven't read yet and mean to get around to reading.

It's INSANE.

I have towers and towers of books stacked everywhere in my rooms at home.

It looks like Slartibarfast's office covered with books. :)

[Rhiannon]

Oh yeah! I've been going nuts in bookstores- used bookstores especially. This is what three years in Japan does to you, you have to order online and you don't get to fondle the books first! So not only did I go crazy buying books, I've been borrowing books from people too. I'm hopeless! One of these days the TBR stack is going to topple over- I can see the headlines now. 'Crazed Bibliophiles Dies in Bookslide'. Hehe. That's the way to go!

[Wonko The Sane]

:) That's hilarious!!

I know the feeling...
I was away at college and had NONE of my favourite books so I when I got back I went NUTS.

We have a library at the house I used to live in (where the rest of my family still lives) and it became my room so I had dominion over ALL the books! And we also have filing drawers full of books in the garage...I'd just go through them all and take what I wanted.

Unfortunately now that I've moved in with my dad my crazy control freak mother has gone in there and messed with my stuff.
:( So sad.

I want my books back but I won't get them. :( It makes me cry.

And yes, I prefer used, worn books to new ones! :D

[Rhiannon]

Heehee- my room's like that here. The only place in the house for the 6ft wide floor to ceiling shelves to go was...my room! Huzzah! Most of the adult fiction is in my room (on 1/3 of the shelves), plus all my books (on the other 2/3), and all my brother's books (he's away at college now) on the built ins over the desk. I'm the family librarian- want to find a book, come to me! I shelved them all (according the topic!) and did a spiffy job if I do say so myself ;)

[YayGollum]

Yikes, crazy book people! You're too rich. oh well. We have a couple of bookcases in my closet, so I guess I'm the resident librarian over here. I really should get around to decluttering that closet. Anyways, Yay for insomnia being gone! I know I don't have it. I just like staying up too late and not waking up for a while. oh well. Boo for morning people!

Sounds like a good idea to me, D. *Nods*. D always has the best ideas...;)

Oh, I do that too! All the time! Eee, yes, much funness.

Erk. I would love more than anything to stay up late posting on TTF and reading books. But I'm still in school, and I have to get up before six on weekday mornings. *Groans*...*is so jealous of Rhian, who is homeschooled, and Wonks, who isn't in highschool anymore...* I'm enjoying my spring break right now...haven't gone to bed before midnight once this week :D...but this'll be my last night to do that, since I have to go to bed early tomorrow to get up for church, and early again on Sunday night because the next day's school again. Ack. *Buries and mourns spring break* Sob. :(

[Wonko The Sane]

I hated High school...but I strangely miss it.

It was this time of limbo. But I had goals.

Where are they know?

My main goal is encased in some strange silvery shiny thing on my finger.

The other is off in space.

And Rhian, OH MY!

My sister plays librarian in my room cos I have so many books! She comes to my room to check them out!
:)

I organised them according to "Adult" and by topic, and each topic section by author.

And then "Teen" in the same way, "Children" in the same way, and "Classics" in the same way.

I even have a section for Encyclopedia sets, Magazines, and computer manuals and tech books! Even my dad's old law books and my sibling's text books! :D

[Rhiannon]

La la la, lately I've been staying up until four and not getting up until after 11am, la la la.... :D

All the fiction in my room is divided up by Adult, Childrens, and My Books (my books are arranged aesthetically by size, shape, typeset, and color- yes, I am obsessive about my shelves), and the shelves in the school room are by topic (pet books, theology books, travel books...), with all the different curriculum books from our reading lists together by grade.

Or at least that's how it was, but people keep messing my shelves up! *is indignant*

[The-Elf-Herself]

Huzzah for another homeschooler! Gosh, I guess you guys who keep your books neat wouldn't like our house. We don't even try. We have piles and stacks of books on two big shelves and several smaller shelves in the living room. Then I have two full-to-bursting shelves in my room and my brother has a whole shelf of history books. Then there are random stacks of books pretty much everywhere. It's always interesting hunting for books in our house, you end up finding novels you though were lost ages ago. :rolleyes:

[YayGollum]

Yes, I am afraid of superly achingly organized people. My house is organized chaos. It's not especially neat, but we know where everything is. If we organized things, we'd forget where we put them. oh well. I've been reading up on that feng shui type stuffs and it looks like I really need to get rid of some clutter if I feel like having fun. oh well. Poor Smeagol.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Yeah, I get what you mean. Organizing is bad. I spent an hour organizing our art/bird/dog/nintendo/computer room and then I couldn't find anything. It took me a week to find my play script because I had put it carefully away in a "safe" spot instead of leaving it lying around. What's wrong with clutter? I've seen a feng shui makeover, the places actually look less comfortable after the expert comes in and does their thing. If I thought anything of it I'd be nervous to touch anything and "upset the balance", that's no way to live.

[Wonko The Sane]

Feng Shui is ****!!

But they do say that Bruce Lee's son died because the Feng Shui mirror on his house fell off in a storm.

Hehe.

Dream I had last night:

I was with a group of my Uni friends and we had this "challenge" to complete.

We stood on the bank of this canal.

The canal water was about waist high on me. (I'm 5'8") but it led to a lake and depending on how close you went to the mouth of the lake thing the water rose to about chest level.

Anyway, I had to jump into this freezing cold Canal and when I was in the water the sides of the canal, covered in brick, rose about 2-3 feet above the water level.
And there was a small ledge on the bank opposite the one my friends were standing on.
And on this small ledge a conveyor belt covered in live water fowl moved towards the lake.

We had to knock off six water fowl.

There were ducks, geese, swans, and moorhens. And even babies. :)

And so I did the jumping thing and knocked six into the water.
And then I tried to get out but the challenge wasn't over.
I had to collect the 6 birds and put them in a bag specially made with holes and stuff.

So I collected the birds...one of them was a huge canadian goose that squirmed and it made a big bulge in my sack.
The nicest one was a little black moorhen with a red tuft on its beak and it nuzzled my hand.

And after that we had to go and take them to a woman on a table by the lake who would catalogue them, count them, and give us our seal of completion.

But I learned that I wasn't supposed to have taken certain kinds of birds but she let it slide.

Then I assume we let the birds go.

Although my friend Casey accidentally killed a moorhen and I cried.

Then I had a dream that my roommate, who in the dream was a cross between my roommate and my best friend, (My roommate's personality and definitely her, except she looked like my best friend and had her name) hadn't invited me to her wedding and I went to the jewelry shop where she and her husband worked to ask why and she was like, "I tried but I couldn't find you." I was like "You must not have looked very hard." She was like, "Well it's my wedding. I'm the bride. It's important if I'M there not you. I don't care if you're there."
I was like, "I would've liked to have seen your wedding. " She was like, "Oh well. I wouldn't have liked you to."
And then she asked me to leave, and I was like, "Do you still want to go to my wedding? Cos I want you to."
She was like, "Eh, I dunno. If we have time. Probably won't though. Send an invitation but don't have your hopes off."
And then she kicked me and Snaga out of her store. :(

[Rhiannon]

Wow, Wonks. I've never dreamed about water fowl.

Huzzah for another homeschooler!
Yay!

Gosh, I guess you guys who keep your books neat wouldn't like our house.
Oh, ours are neat. They were neat for a whole three days after we first got them all unpacked and shelved, but it didn't last. I do know where everything is, though, by virtue of I spend so much time just looking at the shelves. The shelves of my books are neat, because I obsessively arrange them, but the piles of unread books all around my bed (there must be 70, now) are messy as all get out.

My house is organized chaos. It's not especially neat, but we know where everything is. If we organized things, we'd forget where we put them.
Yeah, that's what it is. Organized chaos. God forbid you shift something of my brother's five inches to the right, because he'll never be able to find anything ever again.

But they do say that Bruce Lee's son died because the Feng Shui mirror on his house fell off in a storm.
He died because some idiot on The Crow film set didn't know a thing about gun safety. Feng Shui is double ****.

[YayGollum]

Weird dream, lady. Weird friend, too. oh well. Got it. Feng shui is ****. I'm still reading about it, though. Anyways, those books of yours still sound pretty organized to me, Rhiannon person. *hides* Yay for organized chaos!

[Rhiannon]

They didn't stay organized, I tell you...They are on shelves, for the most part, though.

[YayGollum]

Shelves make them organized. Anyways, yes, I saw where you said they got unorganized. I'm just freaked out that they were supposed to be organized in the first place. :eek: :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

Mwahahaha. I freaked YayGollum out! Yay! Now I've accomplished my goal in life.

[Kailita]

Sheesh, I wish I could be as organized with my books as Wonks and Rhiannon! Mine are just kind of...erm...on shelves. In no particular order. Or on the floor. Or my extra bed. Er...yeah. :rolleyes: (And what any of that has to do with dreams, I haven't the slightest clue.)

Originally posted by YayGollum

Same here. Or that's how it is with my room, at least. I have an extra bed in my room that I PILE with junk...but it's all in neat, organized piles with a specific function for each and a certain place. I love having friends over, but I always have to clear off that extra bed for them to sleep in, and that just drives me crazy...if one little thing is out of place on that extra bed, I spaz. :rolleyes:

Umm...yes, that is all I have to say, except for reemphasizing the point that feng shui is ****. :)

[YayGollum]

It's easy to freak me out. It happens all the time. oh well. Yes, got it. Feng shui stuffs is ****. *hides book* Anyways, Yikes! You must have a big room, lady. Room for two bedses? oh well. *runs away*

[Frodorocks]

Feng Shui is kind of pretty. All airy and breathable.:) But I like my living space all clean and cluttery and comfy. Feng Shui is too uptight.

[Rhiannon]

I'm not organized with my books, I am obsessive. Difference.

Anyway, last night I did not have any dreams that I can remember. How very dull.

[Annushka]

And what about nightmares? I don`t have them very often. but my worst one is being stuck in an elevator. I think it`s because I`m claustrophobic:( Last time i had that dream, the elevator by some reason wasn`t going up and down, but to the right and left. That was horrible, cause I imagined that in front of the doors was a solid wall and nothing could help me. In such cases i order myself to wake up. That helps:)

[YayGollum]

Yes, cluttery and comfy is better than airy and breathable. :rolleyes: Anyways, sure, obssessive makes more sense. I'm an evil person. Claustrophobic people are crazy. *hides* Let me see here. I have no dreams to report. *runs away*

[Saucy]

i'm not clausterphobic but damn it is annoying when everybodys crowded around breathing down ur neck esp while ur reading or typing...like now! my annoying sibling is right beside me 'what r u typing?" well he can read it and take a hint!!!!! oh yeah when people hug u 4 no reason in public oh so annoying

[YayGollum]

I think that a few people over here might not agree with that hugging thing. oh well. Got it. Sure. Yes. Annoying. Let me see here. I've been daydreaming. Why not? I daydreamed about those TV people doing a good job with that Helen Of Troy TV movie. oh well. :rolleyes:

[Frodorocks]

Random hugging is good!:D Oh well.:rolleyes:

[The-Elf-Herself]

Random hugging is annoying and makes me nervous.

[kohaku]

I think the world would be a better place if more people hugged.

[Annushka]

Actually i don`t really understand why people keep being so eager to hug each other whenever it`s appropriate or not. Anyway, random hugging makes me extremely uncomfortable and angry.
claustrophobic people ARE crazy. they are avoiding crowded or closed places. That makes us freak out:)

[Kailita]

Actually my room is TINY. :) I really don't know how I managed to fit two beds in. Well...one's a twin bed and one's a trundle. And there's hardly any floor space. :rolleyes: And, urgh, my aunt is staying over, so I had to move all my stuff off the spare bed and rearrange it in piles and...ack, I feel so disorganized. *Shudders*

Hugging. Ahh, I think I've stated this before, but oh --- crackers. (Almost put finished the evil "oh well"...*gasps* :eek:...what's wrong with me?? :confused: ) Anyway. Hugging. Yes. Well...I usually don't hug other people unless I have a solid reason to. (But sometimes "just because" is a solid reason for me...oh crackers. :rolleyes: ) I like my space, and I don't like people hanging on me. But I have a few huggly friends, and I've learned to understand their point of view. They show affection physically, and they need to be reaffirmed through hugging. *Shrugs* That's just the way they tick. And I've gotten used to it. Mostly. And sometimes when I'm down, what I REALLY need is just to find somebody to hug. Teddy bears work really well for that, too.

[Annushka]

Teddy bears or rabbits. i have a blue rabbit with funny teeth and terribly long ears. he reminds me of somebody who is very distant from me right now. So I hug him often.

there is one thing even more irritating than pointless hugging. that is when you`re talking to someone and this person keeps playing with your buttons, belt etc. Fuu..........

[Kailita]

*Laughs slightly behind her hand* I admit, I do that sometimes. But under certain conditions...

I only do it when the person I'm talking to has superly cool pockets. With zippers. Oh yeah, baby. :cool: *Has an extreme obsession with deep pockets and zippers and buttons and velcro and snaps and all those fun pants accesories* :D

Oh, and I only do it with people I know, heh. Wouldn't want to freak the heck out of some stranger by reaching out and tugging on the velcro on their pants in the middle of a conversation, heh. :rolleyes: *Would probably get a funny reaction to that*

I toy with pockets mostly with my guy friends...just because, duh, they have the coolest pockets, because they're guys. :o They - or a couple of them, anyway - used to get all freaked out and scandalized by me flipping out over their pants...I guess it could be taken the wrong way, heh. :rolleyes: But now they're just used to it, and I can zip and unzip the little zippers on the sides of their pants without them even looking up. (Don't worry...I never go for the vertical one, heh. ;)) Oh my gosh...one of my friends...has the best pants...with suspenders...and little seatbelt clips...ooh *faints*. I spaz over them every time he wears them. :D

[YayGollum]

Oh, Ick. I just saw the word ---> spaz. oh well. I'll ignore the evil thing. Anyways, you people should talk about dreams, not messing with people's pantses. Ick. I would have to slap some hands and run away. :eek:

[The-Elf-Herself]

Er, yeah that would freak me out Kai. I'm really not big on touching peple. *shudders* Oh yeah, crazy dreams. Well I had one last night where I was forced to work at a Blockbuster for some strange reason and I kept messing up, dropping things, tipping over shelves, being way more clumsy than I am in real life. Then whoosh! The next thing I know I'm in Russia in the dead of winter being chased by these scary soldier guys for no reason. The cool thing was I could sort of mess with their heads so they wouldn't see me. Of course, that may have been why they were trying to find me in the first place. I dunno.

[Saucy]

i had a wacky dream last night!!!!!!!!!, i dreamed that i couldn't sleep cause i kept hearing this bird chirping the same thing over and over so i got annoyed and went outside and told him to "shut the ***** up" and he did then i tripped and fell off the balcony!!?

mmmm...even more curious when i woke up iheard a bird chirping

[Rhiannon]

I don't think I'd like being touched during a conversation- it depends. I don't mind people touching my hair. My pants are off limits (no, they don't have cool pockets on them). I hug my friends, because I don't see them often, and I hug my parents, and I liked to be hugged back, but I don't do it all the time. I get claustrophobic when there are too many people standing around and you can't move without stepping on someone; I don't mind being heaped on say a couch with a bunch of people, but I prefer they be people I know. When my friends and I get together (once in a blue moon *sigh*) we sit on each other's feet, and things, but that's because we've known each other for 7+ years and for all intents and purposes they're family. Also, I don't like being hugged by my grandmother because she gives long, clingy, rocking hugs and keeps kissing you on the cheek, and I don't hug my cousins because I hardly know most of them, and come to think of it I don't hug most of my relatives except for some of my aunts.

And last night I had two really weird dreams; I remembered them when I woke up, but they've gotten fuzzy now- I can't remember what the first one was about except that it was really odd. The second one was about me and my friends being involved in a weird, mafia-style war with some other kids from across the street. At some point I fell in to the hands of the enemy side and got stuck under a car and was being dragged under it- the idea wasn't the run me over, it was that the underside of the car did something weird to my stomach, and when I woke up I tested my (perfectly normal) stomach muscles gingerly.

Spaz is a bad word? Hm. I'm called a spaz quite often. And yes, Yay, I can envision you slapping at handses and darting away in a very Yayish manner. :D

Hehe...yes, Jam, I knew it would. I would never do that to you. ;)

Hmm...yeah, it all depends. Some people I don't mind touching me, other people I'll duck away from immediately. I like the feeling of having my hair braided by someone. But my geometry teacher (who is an old man and a pervert *shudders*) has this thing with stroking my hair every time I do something different with it, and that's just freaky...*shivers and hides*

Oh yes. Dreamses. Rhian and Jam had some crazy dreamses. I think I had a weird one last night, but I can't remember it. That's usually the case with me. :rolleyes:

[YayGollum]

Yes, spaz is a bad word. It's just like perky or fantastic or spiffy. Ick. oh well. Let me see here. I dreamt that I was in a huge maze of those creepy tubes they have at really stupid restaurants just for kidses. That wasn't very fun. No slides. just the evil and weird smelling tubes all the time. *sniff* Yes, not interesting, but did it have a deeper meaning? :eek: :confused: :rolleyes:

[Wonko The Sane]

I had a nightmare tonight...so I woke up and came online...

Snaga was dead...and I got a call in the middle of the night.
It terrified me.
I started to hyperventilate and woke up crying.
I nearly passed out. :(

[Kailita]

Spiffy is a fun word! :) But, oh crackers, whatever you say, Yay. :rolleyes:

Ohmygosh, Wonks, that's a horrible dream. :( I've had dreams like that, too. Twice I've dreamed that one of my friends tried to commit suicide, and then once I dreamed that he got run over by a truck. Is this supposed to tell me something? Bleh, I hope not. And then in one of those dreams, another friend tried to commit suicide after his death, because she couldn't bear to live without him. :rolleyes: That part was pretty funny afterwards, but it was terrifying during the actual dream, despite the drama. I felt so helpless to stop anything.

Once, when I was about eight, I dreamed that I died. When I woke up, I was curled up under my flowery sheets and the sun was shining through them, and I thought that was Heaven. :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

...also I forgot, the mafia dream had this funky bit that involved a group of people from the background of the big party scene of The Philadelphia Story, which is a great movie.

Ugh, Wonks, how awful! *participates in random act of hugging* The night before we left Japan I had an absolutely horrible and very vivid dream about being chased by a serial killer. Very, very creepy. I wrote it all down in detail somewhere, but basically I was ten years old (and didn't look like myself- it was a 3rd person dream) and this guy carrying a baby car seat started followring me around; he kept talking to the baby (I don't know if it was a doll or a real baby), and the dream ended when me trapped in a parking lot with him coming after me in a minivan. I was caught in the headlights and then I woke up. Ugh.

[Saucy]

mmmm.freakish stuff!
i had a more lighthearted dream...i dreamed i was spiderman...wich is odd cause i'm a girl...and i was looking for peter parker...who is the real spiderman..cause my skewl was being attacked..don't ask? then i went up to these people and iwas wearing the spiderman outfit and i was like"i'm spiderman" and none of them would believe me....
2 weird no more comics 4 me 4 awhile:cool:

[Annushka]

Somebody told me that in life happens the opposite to the dream. So if you dreamed something terrible like Wonko you can be absolutely sure that it doesn`t mean anything bad:)

[Wonko The Sane]

Well one time I dreamt my friend had attempted suicide and I was meant to talk to her and try to stop her...
And we were separated as she had moved at that point and I called her up to see if she was ok...
And she HAD tried to commit suicide the same night I had the dream.

Creepy.

And right now I wish I COULD dream. :( I'm SUCH an insomniac.

[Saucy]

*hugs wonks* how tramutizing 4 u that would suck...

[Rhiannon]

Ack! How awful, Wonks! *joins in random act of hugging*

[Wonko The Sane]

*Hugs back*

Hugs are good. :)

[Frodorocks]

*Hugs Wonks and shudders.* Eeep! How awful!:eek:
I had a weird dream a couple of nights ago. I was in a greenhouse type place with lots of plants and a fountain and I was talking to a flamingo. I kept telling it to shake somebody's hand, it was very important. But it wouldn't listen. It just kept going on about how it's feathers weren't pink enough.:rolleyes: :D

[The-Elf-Herself]

Oh wow, that sounds funny.:D

I had this crazy dream yesterday influenced by all this talk of Greek mythology. In it a few friends of mine and I were chasing this evil imp bent on world destruction, but it would always get away. We had to chase it through time, space, and all that junk using this crazy portal thingy that only my one friend could open. The thing that kep tripping us up was that my friends kept saying things that for some reason insulted the Greek Gods(not a hard thing to do:rolleyes: ), and so they would get buckets of snow dumped on them from mysterious places in the sky. Half the time I was helping them dig out of snowdrifts, so of course the evil imp got away again and again. It got very frustrating.

[kohaku]

one time i dreamed that my life started over. it was really weird

[Rhiannon]

Last night I had a very bizarre dream. Completely senseless. Apparently I was friends with this lady, who at the start of the dream I thought was a teenager but turned out to be middle-aged, but my sister became friends with her and I was jealous, and then (after we found out she was middle aged) we were all going to take some kind of class from her- I have no idea what the point of the class was, but we went to the science museum, used one of their rooms, and all sat at tables with these things that were shaped like popsicle sticks but were brown and bubbly and brittle, like they were made out of beef jerky, only the texture was wrong. We were breaking them in to strips, and mine wasn't doing very well, and I was irritated. Then I woke up.

[Saucy]

i, have not had a dream in in 3 nights....that supposebly means ur not stressed.....mmmmm thats good 2 know i guess.

[kohaku]

hm, i stop dreaming or start having bad dreams when i'm stressed. when i'm sleeping well i always have dreams.

[Frodorocks]

I heard that you have dreams every night. Well, every time you get into the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep. It just depends on whether you forget them or not.

[Wonko The Sane]

I had a dream last night that I was dressed like Trinity (which isn't a stretch for me...) and that I was thrown a surprise Engagement party by everyone who was mean to me in High School and all my friends.

And then Snaga showed up and he and I were elves, and we went to like a Rivendell or Lothlorien type place, and Galadriel (Not Cate Blanchett but how I think Galadriel should look) was there and Turin's tale from UT to us and some other elves...

:) Nice pretty dream. :)

[Rhiannon]

I had a very very bizarre dream last night- I was a man, for one thing. A married man. With a baby daughter. Living in an old white farm house. And my brother dumped his two children on me while he went somewhere, and these children were incredibly awful brats, and the dream was about my efforts to reform them. It was a very vivid, detailed dream. It was weird.

[Annushka]

I had the strangest dream. I had a baby (a girl) with blonde hair and black eyes and a huge birthmark on her chick. And everybody was so sorry for me and my poor child. And I was mad at them for that and felt abandoned by everyone. It was so unfair: just because of that birthmark everybody turned away from me. I woke up feeling lonely and depressed.

[Rhiannon]

I had two very strange dreams.

In the first, I was one of six sisters- all the same age- and we lived in a freaky post-industrial city of the post-apocalyptic-SF variety, next to the ocean, and on the other side of the ocean (which was really a lake) there was another post-industrial city of the post-apocalyptic-SF variety, only it was populated by Bad Guys. And we (the sisters) were kidnapped and taken to the other sister, and its leader was Bealzebub (Satan), and he was going to make us his wifes, and we had to run away; we escaped and made it to the 'ocean' and swam (walked- my dream self called it swimming) across, all holding hands so we wouldn't lose each other.

We got back to our city, where the good buys were, and went looking for Mrs. Roth, a rotund woman with blonde hair and black eyeliner. She was the librarian, but when we got to the library we found out the city had been flooded and the water had gotten all the way up to the second floor- fortunately the books were on the third- and when I got up through the wet mildewing first- and second floors I found Mrs. Roth and Betsy (my voice teacher from when I lived in Japan) had started a rock group and Mrs. Roth didn't want to talk to me, so I wandered around the books- which were all really dirty- and a rather scary, dirty looking man came up to me and we talked for a few minutes about books that didn't exist.

And then the dream switched and I was with my older brother in an incredibly dingy Wal-Mart, looking for Patricia McKillip's new book, In the Forests of Serre (before I was going to sleep I was thinking about how I wanted it), only they didn't have it and I couldn't get them to get it for me. And then my mom showed up, trying to get a certain kind of vaccume cleaner, and they wouldn't do it for her, either, and I took her in to this bizarre little cafe in the store and tried to bribe her in to getting my book for me with a chocolate covered strawberry.

And then I woke up.

BIZARRE! :)
Rhia, maybe the reforming bratty children dream was a past life regression. ;)

And I had a freaky dream the other night...It was about Snaga.
One of his relatives was sick with cancer and I was a doctor and I saved him.
:) Sad and happy. :)

I had this incredible dream last night:

Let's see: I could shift and become the wind, not a bird gliding on the wind, but the wind itself. It was wonderfully...freeing and was so much fun, I could listen to everything and play tricks on people and help people. My best friend(who was also in it) could do some type of elvish thing. I think it had to do with being able to sense the ways of plants and trees, she could simply touch one and know everything about it and she could help them grow faster and resist disease. A bunch of us who could do these different things met on this quiet mountain in a huge glade surrounded by trees. Anyone who had something to do with the earth wore green or brown, my friend had on this really pretty simple green dress and I was wearing a plain white smock and pants, since I dealt with the sky. We went into this beautifully airy building, to eat while we held a big important meeting and the food! Cheesecakes and chocolate cakes and fresh ripe fruit and aaahhh. It was incredible!

Altogether a very satisfying dreaming experience.

A few nights ago I dreamt I had a threesome with Bruce Willis and some other random person.

THAT was scary. I don't even LIKE Bruce WIllis!!! :)

Last night, however, I dreamt of nice things about Snaga...we went to a church trying to decide on places to get married. :) Yay.
