I had another one last night. It started out with me participating in an "extended group interview" with a big company, maybe IBM. It was like a summer camp / reality show where we'd do activities and one of us would be eliminated every day. The place was something of a cross between a kid's clubhouse and a haunted house. It wasn't that scary, though. The atmosphere was just...pensive. I was just about to find out if I got the job when... ...I crawled through a cavelike passageway with a bunch of pilgrim type people. My mom was there, on some kind of quest. We emerged from the passage into a green clearing, and it turned out to be ground zero in New York. They were dedicating the new buildings. The whole place was lush and green, with muddy pools where the towers had been, and everyone was singing. I wandered off to the side, away from the people, over to a building that looked kind of 19th century New Orleans-ish. As I wandered around the side of the building everything changed to a futuristic setting. In the middle of the clearing (which wasn't a clearing anymore) was a giant hologram showing alternating 50 foot tall logos of various corporations, booming out audio from ads. I took an escalator up to a promenade and wandered off into a back alley to a dark sushi cafe. I went up to the bar (rather run down and shabby) and tried to ask for sushi, but I couldn't talk well. That's it... |
but when I came home to meet her, she was really mad at me because I had promised to put something away and forgot, so she wouldn't speak to me. So now she was leaving and angry with me, and I was completely miserable. when I woke up I was still really mad at her. she called to talk to Maria, and I snapped at her. dreams are funny. |
there was more, but its lost. |
Oddly, towards the tail end of this dream, D called. At some obscenely hour at the morning. And wanted to hang out. Deeply confusing. I notice lately that there's often a link between dreams and life. Recently, I have been reading a lot about brain death and beating heart donors, and then, suddenly, people are brain dead. Or I'll have a dream about talking to someone I haven't talked to in a while (because their fiance is convinced I'm secretly hoping to ravish them in the poolhouse) and then they call...There's an interesting connection between sorabji, dreamland, and my life in meatspace. |
i haven't dreampt since tuesday. that's only two nights but still. after the paticular vividness of it. |
then I went to sleep and dreamed that I was going over to Ron's house after a late indigo shift, and it seemed to be taking me Forever to get there. I kept missing buses and ending up in wrong parts of town. When I finally got to Ron's house I found him with a bunch of people, having some kind of party and yucking it up. somehow this made me feel betrayed and forgotten about. like he was here having a grand old time while I was miserable and lost and searching for him. like he wasn't even Thinking about me. I hope the bad dreams stop soon. |
I was dating my friend M. who is a straight woman, but I was also with Sem. In the dream it seemed as though no one knew about sem and everyone expected that I was going to marry M. and I didn't want to be with M anymore but I didn't know how to get out of the relationship because everyone expected we were going to stay together and I really just wanted to be with sem. Then there were all these small planes crashing but everyone survived. one crashed right next to me in the river and i ran away but thought I should stay and help people get out of the water. Then all of a sudden I am somewhere in Canada hanging out with Megan Follows (who played Anne in Anne of Green Gables) and I think she's flirting with me so I kiss her, but she wasn't and then I got really embarrassed but she didn't care and took me out and showed me around her town, which looked like German Village in Columbus. |
Most of the dream is very hazy, but he killed lots and lots of people. He killed most of the people on the island. I was with a small group of people trying to stop him or maybe just survive, and we kept losing people. There was an underground lake on one of the basement floors, and many other strange places. We spend a lot of time in these really large elevators. At some point I knew that the building had a consciousness. It was an AI, and once we made contact with this entity, it tried to help us. There was also an android or something that was battling this evil thing. It had a consciousness of its own, but was somehow linked with the building. The evil thing was trying to kill the building. It could do so either by doing enough damage to the structure, or by killing the android. Eventually, everyone in my group was dead or just gone, and as far as I knew, I was the only one left on the island. The bad creature had the ability to spit these spheres that would explode, and it used these to severely injure the good android. I managed to throw one back at the evil thing before it blew up, and that seemed to kill it. The building then told me that 21 other people were still alive, scattered over the island. It said that it would be able to repair itself given enough time, and that if I could find all the survivors, we could live there in the building. It thanked me for saving its life. |

I dream in widescreen. |
In my dream he was the arch nemisis of a boy I really care for (in real life), and I felt really bad for finding Vin so damn sexy in my dream. I felt as though I were betraying The Boy, even though there was/is no commitment there. the night before last I dreamed that I was walking around toronto with The Boy and it was dawn and rainy and we were planning to go to a party, and he said to me "We'll stay for 20 minutes and then we'll go to City Hall and get married, okay?", and he said it all matter-of-fact-like. the situation seems to be getting dire. |
