The Dream Thread
The most disturbing theme I've had since I can remember is that my legs won't work right. As if I have some sort of a disability, palsy or MD or something. Most of the time this happens when in my dream I am trying to cross a busy street, I get to the middle, and all of a sudden my legs won't budge. Sometimes it happens in an inconsequential situation, for instance in last night's dream I was shopping in second hand dress boutique of sorts, left, had to go back in because I forgot something, when I got to one of the cashiers' desks in the middle of the store I wanted to go around, but when I swung my leg to maneuver around the desk it felt as if it was kind of stuck and just wouldn't go...felt like a zillion pounds but at the same time, weightless.
In these dreams I am convinced that there is some type of neurological problem causing this. I've never been hit by not being able to cross the road in the dreams, nothing like that. Just stuck, with an overwhelming urge to get to the other side before something awful happens. It never does..and I never remember whether or not I ever got there.
Do you have re-occurring themes in your dreams?
Dream Interpretations welcome, although I am sure I could figure this one out all by my lonesome if i put some thought into it.
I love dreams and what they (might) mean. The mind is a fascinating thing.

Craziest dream last night/this morning. I was having a conversation with a writer about his recent book, which details his experience as the writer on the set of Star Trek V. The dream then shifted to his perspective having a conversation/argument with William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and the rest of the cast, explaining why they needed to act in a certain way and why they needed to follow the script. Apparently Kirk was supposed to yell at Sulu about something, but Shatner objected. And Chekov was supposed to shoot someone, but refused.
The version of this movie was set on a planet filled with cat people, and suddenly the dream shifted to that location. There I was, walking around a jungle filled with cat people. It was pretty terrifying. I was trying to hide, and climbed up a tree, and came into contact with a snake lion.
That's right. An animal with the body of a snake and the head of a lion. Again, terrifying.
In my pursuit to get away from the cat people, I grabbed onto the body of the snake lion and pulled myself up the tree, breaking the snake lion's back and killing it. Suddenly, the jungle was ALIVE with all these animals running in the same direction. Wolves, gorillas ... you name it, they were running away/toward something. So I climbed down and asked some of the animals what was going on.
Cat Person Jesus had just died, and the apocalypse was coming.
Cat. Person. Jesus. I'm not particularly religious, so, wow. OK. I have a crazy head.
Anywho, all the animals were running toward this temple to seek shelter there (shades of Lost, anyone?).
TL;DR: I was stranded on a planet from Star Trek V filled with crazy animals like snake lions, and Cat Person Jesus had just died and the world would soon end and kill everything, unless I made it a temple for safety, but I'm pretty sure that was just hopeful religious talk. The place was pretty much screwed.
Then I woke up."Where's KW?"

On my way home from work, I came upon an injured deer in the middle of the road that a state trooper had to put down, so I'm sure that factored into it. And our bed is always filled with cats, so there's that, too. The last convo I had with my wife before going to bed was about politics and the draft -- totally not religion in the slightest!lazloblue said:My Goodness KW what an imagination!

When I saw you post Cat Person Jesus on fb, I thought you were referring to yourself...in the picture with danger on your shoulders...with your full beard and the fact that Danger loves you so much he hangs on your shoulders, it's like your "Cat Person Jesus".Show #13 was a lucky one for me....0 -

I can't really remember what I was dreaming about, but a couple nights ago I woke up three times laughing my head off. And I mean LAUGHING. Once it was actually snorting!
My cat thought I was going crazy! It's actually quite disconcerting to wake up like that, and it also feels really good. I'm glad I was having such hilarious dreams!

I love the weird dreams triggered by something random I thought about or saw during the day.
Or the ones that make me feel like I'm traipsing through a Dali or Escher piece.
Recurring ones? Oy.
Being late for work or a flight - always awake with relief that it wasn't real
Losing my purse or wallet/ID/debit card - same as above!
Cats (both greater and lesser, and all in between) - no matter the scenario, there's always the underlying thought of "oh FUCK, they could really hurt me"
Being in my childhood home - those are almost always comforting
Seeing my dad - among the best. My first dreams of him after he died in 2008 left me sad and waking in tears. Since then though, when I "see" him, I feel such pure joy. Sometimes I say "dad, it's you!" And I get to hug him, and BE hugged by him. And I swear I smell his scent in those moments. I'm smiling huge right now as I type this.
Our brains are some beautiful pieces of work.0 -
had two odd dreams last night:
1) I somehow met up with Jesse Hughes of EoDM, and we were both crying (don't remember any dialogue)
2) I was wearing two wedding rings. The second was identical to my "real" one, only slightly bigger, and on the next finger. WTF?By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
I often have a recurring dream of being naked at work. happens all the time. I know it's a cliche, but I didn't realize it until recently. Constantly having to dive behind cubicles and desks (kinda like the beginning of The Matrix). Unfortunately, most of the offices in my building are housed in glass, so no hiding there. It's embarassing as all hell.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0
