If you can remember one of your more recent dreams, please share it with us

How are you?

I'm swimming around in this ocean of gelatinous purple slime. Sort of like grape JELL-O that hasn't fully set. I can't see land or anything on the horizon. Every once and a while I encounter an enormous starfish. Just about as big as I am. They aren't stuck to rocks or anything, they are suspended in the gelatin like they can neither sink nor float. After a while, I begin to hear this strange discordant music. Long sustaining chords, gradually shifting. The sound was sort of like bells, but really more like a wind instrument. After listening to this music for some time it really starts to get creepy. I'm wondering where it is coming from. Then I notice that there is an outcropping of rocks in the distance. On the rocks, there is a group of these strange women. They all look very similar. Long gold hair, quite fat, nude, yellow skin, no body hair, weird faces...like rolls of fat. They are sunning themselves on the rocks. Then I realise that the music is coming from them. I think of the old sea legend about "Harpies". I don't really remember what the significance is. I just think "DANGER!!!" I'm trying to swim away, but it is very difficult. I can hear the music getting louder and louder as if they are pursuing me.

I don't remember any recent dreams, sorry.

I remember about 5+ each night, no need in going into them.
My boyfriend says I am a wreck when I sleep. As far as I know I sleep like a rock, but he says I laugh, roll around, talk, sit up and all that stuff... guess I've got a little world of my own going on while I sleep.

I can't remember a recent one... sorry....

For the first time I realized that I dream in French and English.

There was a terrorist attack on a small town. After the dust had settled, I searched for survivors. I found two young children alone in a house. I went into their mother's bedroom and found a bag of marijuana and a vial of cocaine, and was really mad. I cooked the kids supper, and took care of them. Then the mother came home. She was upset because she needed to make a phone call and pay some bills. The kids were in the bedroom, she didn't even ask about them. I said angrily, "Oh, whenever you feel like it, you can ask me if your kids are alive or not." She looked up from the phone and said politely, "Okay!" Then I woke up.

She must be the wife of that creep you encountered at Walmart.

Well, I was lying in bed and then Twistermime walked in naked and um.........I woke up

i had an office at M.I.T., where i was building a new kind of radio to communicate with people from other galaxies. the radio stopped working, and i couldn't figure out why. my ex-boyfriend stopped by with his three-year-old daughter, who helped me fix it. then they planted morning glories in the hallway outside my office.

That's what I was thinking!

Surreal. I was with Rob and Sandy, my dog at Coney Island, but not the present-day, awful Coney Island--the one of sixty years gone by, in freakin' black and white, man. Everyone was black and white and dressed in old-fashioned clothes and hair-styles. We kept wading out to the ocean but the ocean was too hot to wade in...

Well there's this guy that I really like....

tonight's dreams :
1) Being attacked by a laughing girl with a pair of scissors.she puts them next to my neck,but then she retreats them without hurting,then I turn my back to her and suddenly I'm attacked by a dozen other people laughing and jumping around me.They all have scissors and pierce everywhere.From my body starts to flow a mix of red red blood and cotton (the same kind you find in dolls and stuffed animals),I fall and they suck blood from my open sores.I must say that wasn't a bad dream.
2)We are in the future,I'm a girl that's done something illegal with babies (like getting pregnant without public consent or a written paper from the government...these kind of things).I have to walk on a metal structure and when different scenes on several screens appear to me I have to match a phrase with the image.Phrases I actually (in the dream I mean) pronounce are "good morning" and "hello" (these in italian sound like "buongiorno" and "salve") the later said to a picture of a little blond girl sitting at a table (not a real person,more like a cartoon).I have to push a sequence of red and green buttons that gets more and more complicated every time.I fail the last test and when I go down from the metal structure I "give birth" to a child looking like a doll that falls on the ground with a "thud".It falls from me without any effort from my part,full of white mucus.I know he's (or she,don't know the sex)dead,because I haven't passed the test.
Then (and that's maybe "another" dream)I'm the girl boyfriend that gets mad at seeing her child and woman (is she dead too? seems so.anyway she is not there anymore) killed and attacks a fat policewoman with a knife,and is carried away to prison.
Here I stop and leave you meditating on my dreams.I dream a lot and remember my dreams a lot and they are all complicated and weird like that.

My mind's gone blank! I usually remember my dreams, but I've not been too well recently and I haven't slept too well.

I like your dream!

I can't.

On the morning of Sept. 11 I was having a dream about dining on an upper floor of a tall building, with the cast of Frasier. Then I went downstairs (basement) and saw someone selling magazines with a plane crash victim on the cover. The basement had a ramp up to street level, and it appeared to be NYC.

I was awakened by my husband telling me about the attacks, and found it kind of freaky. Then I found out about the executive from Frasier being on one of the planes, and found it freakier.

I made it up all by myself! I never seem to remember my dreams any more, but I think I have a pretty good handle on what they are like, so when I encounter a "dream" oriented survey, I just...make it up!

It was really odd. Last night I dreamt that I had made some joke, and Pomeranian was the only one who got it. Everyone else was all mad at me and didn't understand that I was just making a joke. Then I called a friend of mine a stupid ugly chicken and stormed off, and suddenly I was walking up this twisty, root-and-vine-strewn path to my college dorm. A friend's cat was walking through the hall. I bumped into the friend I had insulted and apologized. Somewhere in all of this there was another cat, on my papasan, in the back yard of the house I grew up in, and the cat looked like she was about to give birth. My vet showed up and checked her and it turned out the cat wasn't pregnant. Then the vet came inside and I introduced him around. I don't remember the rest of the dream, but I'm pretty sure there was more.

I just had a dream during my nap today that I was walking to my favorite bar here. Distracted, I walked too far up Queens Boulevard, and found myself in front of a gorgeous nature reserve. There were streams, and shaded walks, and I figured I could cut through it to get to the bar. There were people sitting on benches reading, there were ivy-covered trellises overhead, there was a large, secluded, gated mansion on the grounds as well.
The farther in I walked, the muddier I got. I was wearing shorts and white shoes and was very mad that my new white shoes were getting muddy. The mud was the kind of mud that's like heavy clay, and it smelled bad, like sulfer.
I notice now that, while I'm still in "nature," I see a very high chain-link fence on either side of the path now, and this makes me uneasy. It looks more like NYC now, with bits of trash everywhere, etc. There are no people anywhere, which I find odd, as well.
I come around a turn, and there is a great rushing river in front of me, but it doesn't look very deep, it looks like I might be able to cross it. Thinking that it won't be so bad, I can wash off all the stinky mud, I start in, but it's like quicksand, and I can't cross it.
I really don't want to turn away, I've come so far, and I know my goal is 400 yards over the river (and through the woods).
I feel dread as I turn around to go back, and as I start back, I see the reason for the fence. On the other side of the flimsy chain-link fence is a mother black bear tending to her cub. She sees me immediatly, and goes into a rage. I'm stuck, I'm so stuck. There's no way I can cross the river, and a black bear is charging me.
I turn around so that I won't have to see her coming at me, and I think, "This is it. This is how I'm going to die. They will find my body horribly mauled." Right when I felt her come up behind me, I woke up, VERY happy to be on my couch.

Damn...quick...go back to sleep!

You've seemed really quiet lately. Are you doing okay?

Oh,for me it's the other way around...when I have to tell a story (I write stories)it's more than often inspired by a dream I had.Maybe because my dreams are always detailed and with a "story" in them.

I can't go back to sleep, I don't kn--kn---n.......zzzzzzzzzzz

There was a basement full of angel statues draped in scarlet-burgundy fabric recently.

Sounds like my walk yesterday afternoon. Need to sleep now.

Thanks! Right now I'm waiting for a plumber to show up to unclog my sink drain. But this afternoon I'm going to get my tattoo!! Pomeranian is coming with me. I can't wait!

I was a journalist and I was being sent by my paper to interview Anthony Hopkins, shortly after the release of the film 'Hannibal'. (Conveniently he was staying at the holiday home situated just up the road from where I used to live). As I was going thorugh the various questions, I noticed that he seemed to be flicking in and out of a variety of different 'personas'. This continued and increased in speed until it just stopped and he seemed stuck in 'Hannibal Lector' mode. It then dawned on me that I wasn't interviewing Anthony Hopkins but rather Hannibal the Cannibal himself. I took off down the road in fright (and fear of being eaten) and got to my house where my Mother was watching TV. Whilst I was hiding behind the chair she was sitting on, I was trying to convince her that we had to run away but she was having none of it. The dream ended as Hannibal and a few other memebers of his family that he had picked up along the way burst through my front door.

I've just been in one of those moods where if I do say something it's going to start an argument, so I'm just keeping my thoughts to myself.
Thanks for asking though.

You aren't the one who called me a name in the hedonism survey, are you?

If it was anonymously, no. I don't remember calling you a name at all.
Sorry if you were called on though.

I had a dream last night about finding out that my boyfriend was cheating on me. I've actually had several of them over the past 2 years. I'm just being paranoid.

YAY!!!!!!

Last night I had a dream that romkey was moving and I had offered to help. I showed up but it wasn't his house it was a house I'd never seen before. There were boxes everywhere and people wandering around packing up giant statues and pieces of art and huge candlesticks made out of wrought iron. bill and jen were there....popping those sheets of packing bubbles. lion was asleep in an overstuffed chair and someone was trying to wrap the chair up with brown paper while he was still in it. romkey was cooking. He asked me to roll his two cats up in an oriental rug for safe transfer to the new home.

Oh, a birthday tattoo...how exciting! Is it your first? What is it, where is it, how do you like it...do tell all!!!

Is the subject of one or more of the surveys upsetting to you, or does your mood not really have anything to do with SC? When I feel grumpy, I just eat Halloween candy until I'm sick and then I feel all better! Well, except for the stomach ache. Maybe you should try it.

She's right...eating candy is the solution to all of life's little problems....

*plink plink plink plink*


*picks up her teeth and tries to fit them back in the empty sockets*

Those moods, eh? What you *really* need is a little brother. When he winds you up you can shout at him and tell him exactly what you think of him. That always makes me feel better! If you want, I'll lend him to you

Maybe I should try that. I think eating might make me feel worse though. I'm trying to lose weight. Those binges do always make me feel good for a bit though. Did you have a nice Halloween?

You can keep him. Or maybe I'll trade you my job for your little bro. lol

Haven't had one.

It's my first. It's the cuneiform sign for "woman." It's black, on my left shoulder-blade, and I LOVE IT!!!

Don't fall for Biggles' ploy, whatever you do...she's obviously trying to pawn her little brother off on you! He must be a real stinker.

Halloween wasn't anything special for me this year. It was a regular old work day and the weather was crummy. Oh well. The candy was good! Did you do anything fun?

What a great, unique idea for a tattoo. I'm glad you like it! We want photos!

Does Pomeranian have any tattoos yet? Did accompanying you there make him want one? It tends to be contagious, you know.

He already has a couple. He was talking about getting them fixed up a bit, but he didn't.

lol He's actually very sweet most of the time. But there's those other times......

I have too many brothers at the moment! My older brother's come home for the weekend, and it's weird. I haven't seen him since September and in all that time I've spoken to him once for two minutes. It's nice to see him again I'm going to go and see him between now and Christmas at university. He lives in Manchester so I'm hoping to get to see autumnlight at the same time. Like a mini-SC-convention! (very mini!)

When I'm in those moods I eat chocolate. Good thing candy is on sale right now. lol

Yeah, but I was the baby so I never had a younger brother. Could be fun for a couple of hours.

I went to bed early. That's all I did.

My dreams are too abstract to describe what's happening, usually. The last one that made any sense was about war. I was in this destroyed building (or half destroyed?) and Osama's people (that group-forgot the name) and the Taliban were guarding all over the bottom so people couldn't get out. Some helicopters came and got us though. Pretty weird. I have different dreams all night because I wake up a lot, so usually they are very short. I haven't had any other recent half interesting ones though.

I'm sure he is sweet...after all, he's related to you. It's just a little brother's job to be a pest some of the time.

That's cool that you'll get to meet autumnlight! How's your older brother been doing off on his own?

I'm the baby of the family, too! Sometimes it was great, and other times it was awful. My brother and sister are a lot older than me (7 and 9 years) so I felt left out a lot. But other times I got lots of attention when they didn't. Did you like being youngest?

I like it until my older sisters use it against me. I wasn't really left out. My oldest sister is 14 years older than me so we didn't grow up together. My other sister is only 2 years older than me so most of my growing up was just older sister and younger sister, no middle kid. My sister looked out for me...she still does.

This night I had a weird one. I lived in some strange house and we had cockroaches... I loathe roaches... But in my dream I fought back against the creepycrawlies by teaching our cats and rats to hunt and exterminate the roaches. And I levitated in the middle of the room to avoid the bugz.

He's been okay. He's the one with Aspergers so we're surprised at how well he's done. He's getting on really well with the guys in his bit of the Halls of Residence. He hasn't managed to find his way right around Manchester yet though. He hasn't managed to find a supermarket yet! Boys.....

And I got my first offer from university this morning. I wasn't expecting to get any until April so it's really exciting. They offered me grades of BCC (including Biology and Chemistry) to go to Glasgow to read General Science! It isn't my first choice but it's probably my first reserve choice (it has lower requirements than my first choices). And I should get BCC! I'm sorry, I'm excited........

I don't think I dream anymore.

Congratulations!! I don't understand all that BCC stuff (apparently that's different from our system here in the US) but it sounds like a great start!! Those offers are bound to really start rolling in now!

I haven't remembered any of my dreams for the past week or more. I think I've just been too tired lately. Maybe that's your problem, too. Ya think?

*singing* You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true...

Thankyou

Those are the grades I need to get. I'm doing five and a half subjects but I only need three to get into most universities. If I get one B and two Cs I'm in to Glasgow

I'm hoping I'll get more early offers now! But I still have an Oxford interview to "look forward to."

Could be. Yep I have been a might bit tired for the past few weeks now. I'll E-mail you about that later.BTW Why are YOU still tired?? Might you be experiencing jet-lag even now??? Or is it work & life in general,the cause of you fatigue?

I'm trying to type this & listen to Ellen Degenerise on the Emmy Awards. God she so funny! I just love her. I like it when people make me laugh.

Last night I had a lot of night mares, I was trying to protect my birdie Goza Girl from the loud sloopy drunk party in our house. I was trying to get everyone to shut the hell up and leave, then some butt-hole said something rude to me so I knocked him out. My girlie girl Goza birdie was so sleepy and tired, so my man and I brought her cage into our room to sleep.... but he was all drunk too. It was just weird.
I had a few long islands at the bar with my man and some friends before bed last night so that probably had something to do with it, but it's no different than any other night.

Oh, I get it. I guess I applied to college after I had all my grades, or maybe they went by my grades up until the time I applied, because they didn't tell me what I needed to get. They looked at my grades and accepted me. That's why I didn't understand what you meant. I remember how excited I was to get that acceptance letter! Especially since I had my heart set on one specific school and I didn't even apply to any others.

Do you know when your Oxford interview will be?

I'm tired from working extra hours lately, and not getting enough sleep - partly because I'm too stupid to get to bed at a decent time, and partly because my evil cat has been waking me up early every morning lately. The little stinker doesn't realize we set the clocks back!

I love Ellen, too, although I'm disappointed in her new show. I missed the Emmy awards, but we were doing something better - topper was at our house and we were talking and laughing and drinking some yummy blackberry wine! We had a great time!!

*If* I get one (and they may reject me without one) it will be the 10th and 11th of December and possibly the 12th as well. I should have at least two interviews in that time. One for my subject and one for the specific Oxford college I'm applying to.

Talk about long hours,that's what I'vebeen doing also.10 hours plus. Some of the people I work with,start work at 5am & don't get out til 4:30pm.Now that's some LONG hours!They told us too,that we were going to be doing some long hours when I got hired.This is suppposedly their bussy season. Whatever that's supposed to mean.

Hey,so you guys got to party with toppper? Way cool!! You know? I've never had blackberry wine.I'm gonna have to try that some day.It sounds pretty tasty. Who makes it?

I haven't seen Ellens new show yet.I'm gonna have to catch that.What day & time is she on,now?

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

The blackberry wine we had was made by someone local, and it was really good quality stuff. We also had cranberry, which was a really pretty color, but I didn't like the flavor as much.

Ellen is on Fridays at 8:30 pm. I think it's on CBS. Her old show was much better. I thought this one would be really good. Cloris Leachman plays her mother, and I've always thought she was hilarious, but I just don't care much for the premise of this show. You'll have to watch it and let me know what you think. It has its moments, but some of it is just kind of dumb, in my opinion.

Thankyou

Too bad that wine isn't shipped out I'd love to try it.I used to love to sample all sorts of sweet wines.

I'll be sure to catch her show.But yeah,I know what you mean about her old show being better.I agree. Now I spend most of my time laughing with "Will & Grace" I love that show!

Nice to see you!! I love Will & Grace, too, but don't catch it very often.

My new job has been keeping me VERY busy.I've been pulling twelve & a half hour days lately.Thats why you haven't seen me for the past two weeks.There's a package thats been sitting in my car,for over 10 days now,just waiting to be mailed to Irene,but I haven't been able,to get off work early enough,to get to the post office to mail it. I'm just plumb tuckered out these days.My check looks fabulous tho.Other than that,I just don't think I'm young enough for this job.I'm the oldest person doing this. When I tell them how old I am,the guys think I'm joking.They even invited me to go out with them & play paint-ball on December 8th. I don't think so!

I've missed everyone here.You just don't know how much.I spend most of my time catching up with my sleep.Speaking of which,I gotta get up at 3:50am tomorrow.I get off at 6 pm-6:30pm.Boy am I tired.

Geez, and I thought I was busy! I've had to work 5 or 6 ten-hour days the last couple weeks, but it sounds like you've got me beat. The overtime is nice, but there's no time to spend the extra money! How long do you have to keep up the long hours? That's not a permanent thing, is it?

I know!!! & I'm WAY older than you too. Shoots,I'll be 50 next September.
They say we'll be pulling this kind of over time,until after the holidays.
I don't think I'll be able to last. I still have that on going medical problem I told you about.(Plus,David wants me to quit,he says the job is killing me.) It's been 6 & a half weeks now,I'm supposed to get my results back,sometime this week,I'm still waiting...........

Gotta go to bed now or I'll never make it to work.I'll talk to you more tomorrow night.(((((((hugs))))))

Sweet dreams!

12 1/2 hr days? Good grief. No option? I've done worse, but it's hard to even imagine at the moment. Take care of yourself.

I've got good news......I quit working at MIlgard Windows.

Last night was the last straw.I woke up at 3:50am started work at 5am & (get this) got off work at 9:20pm.

I QUIT!!!! No job making ANY amount of money is worth killing myself over.I've still got that medical problem too.Plus,I got hurt on the job last night,while working in the pitch dark.My knee has a huge knot on it & is turning a pretty shade of purple.
Yesterday alone,I made $216.00.I haven't even totaled my 2 weeks pay yet,to the $216.00 I made yesterday.It's gonna be astronomical (for me) I've never made this much money,at any job before.It's gonna be a phat check,but you know what?? At this rate,I'll be dead,before I even get to spend it.
Gotta call my OBGYN in a few minutes.I've missed you guys & I'm glad to be back at SC again.

I am once again,a happy camper.

Please see the above comment to SueBee.& thanks so much for your concern for my health & well being.I hade a 16 hour day yesterday,& that was the last straw!((((((HUGS)))))

Yea. Perhaps it was the appropriate job for the time. Find yourself something that you wish living next time

I think it's for the best that you quit. It's just not worth it. Too bad they made you work so much overtime. That is just insane. Like the Billy Joel song:

"He's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillac...
And if he can't drive with a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders"

Yeah,at least I have my finances are in order now.

I'll be searching the net for cheap tickets(from Hawaii to Los Angels)for my older daughter & my middle grandchild,to fly out here to visit during the XMAS vacation.Hopefully the prices aren't too high.(sigh)

My gosh,I slept a good part of the day yesterday,just catching up on my sleep.I'm glad it's Saturday,I get to REALLY kick back & enjoy the rest of the weekend.
I love Billy Joels music.I guess the guy has lived a rough life,to have written music that others can relate to.But yeah,your right,what good is a Caddy if you can't enjoy it?
You know what Sue?? I don't regret all the money I could've been making in the near future.& it's a lot.
I pretty much have ALL I really need.It was all right here,under my nose,all this time,I just never knew it.Life is good!& I'm feeling really blessed right now.I have friends like you guys,a fabulous family,a roof over my head,food in my tummy,clothe on my back,& my health.Yep life is very good.

In addition to this comment please read the above comment to KR.

I know what you mean. That's everything we really need. Life IS good!!

A couple of nights ago I dreamt David Spade worked in a film developing hut in the middle of a parking lot. lol

((((((HUGS)))))Thanks woman!! I didn't want you to think that I was just giving up on my new found job,without giving it my bet shot.

Lovely. Give them extra hugs for me. My folks are covering a trip to see my kids/family in AK for Christmas.

Ohhhhh,your so lucky...............I wish you the very,very best.(((((((HUGS))))))

I had a dream that I was really small, (not a kid, a little miniature person, a few inches tall) and I was looking through a big glass window that seemed to be a magnifying glass or a screen that sent me close-up shots. I was watching some people who had stuff breaking around them. (Lamps, clocks, exploding computers etc) There were bigger than normal people catching little pieces of the things, so it wouldn't land on anyone.

Staying at mom's is awesome too. Thanks.

Alice through the looking glass meets 19th molecular mind over matter breakdown. Not a good shape of things to come.

What do you mean?

I was describing a bit of my own reality at times. At least your subconscious feels someone has things under control.

Do you think I was little because I wasn't out there helping?

No, because they are forces above your control doing everything. All you get to do is watch. Even getting some sort of little prayers answered would make you feel more participant than victim.

I've been having repeated dreams of this old house with lots of rooms.Every time I have it, there's a different scenario to it. One time there was a secret room that I found. Another time there was a room full of stuff I found.There's a lot more involved but I can't remember it all now.

Have a great Thanksgiving Kristal! See you when you get back.

i had a dream where i was sitting at my couch when all of a sudden i was killed by a giraffe. did you know if you try to force yourself to blink in a dream you will wake up in real life

try it
