i feel sorry for people who say they don't dream. remembering my dreams each morning is like watching reruns of this freaky show i saw last night and still can't get over. they're the sort of thing you'd discuss with your coworkers with varying degrees of amusement, horror or puzzlement, depending on the episode.
of course, not every show is a winner. sandwiched in between such stunners as "the salmon that wanted to kiss me" and "the government has downgraded my official status to white trash" are more predictable stories with tired themes such as "why can't i run faster?", "holy shit it's final exam day and this is the first time i've made it to this class." my theory on this is that if you're the sort of person who has nutball dreams every single night, you might be the sort of person who resides in one of those places with mandatory meds and bars on the windows.
even so, i'm sort of strangely proud of some of my odder conjurings. there's some interesting shit swirling around in my head! i woke up abruptly in the middle of the night once and thought to myself, "i just dreamed my BESTSELLER." it was an epic masterpiece with intrigue, surprising plot twists and a shocking and satisfying ending. i was counting dollar signs and interviews with oprah as i drifted back to sleep and awoke remembering not one single thing about my genius story. asshole brain had a good laugh about that one.
recurring themes: heights, elevators, animals (that love me and wish to show me affection, no matter how inappropriate and kittens specifically), flying, swimming/floating, drowning and being okay with it, nudity (usually mine), sex (but not with kittens) and slow running, which ironically is exactly how i do it when i'm awake.
summary: that salmon was going to stop at nothing to kiss me last night. the other fish just wanted to hug me, but that dirty salmon had to take it to a place where we were all uncomfortable. what's wrong with you???
