Funky Dreams

[Patient7]

Latley if I have a dream with explicit content, I don't know how this works but my brain censores it!!  How?  I don't know, but it's kind of disturbing.

I had a dream this morning that Sally Forth (from the still-running comic, not the adult-themed one) dyed her hair blond and decided to explore her newfound bicuriosity with her girlfriends.  Weird!

There's this one dream.  Had it as a kid, and once again as a teen.  It starts off with me playing with some friends of mine in their driveway.  I don't remember it completely vividly now.  But, it starts with us playing in their driveway.  We get in their van to take a vacation to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.  For some reason there's some spies and ninjas, and they plant a bomb on our van.  We then skateboard down to New Orleans from whatever state we're in.  We find a groundhog along the way.  Then, for some reason, we get to Mardi Gras, but find it's now inhabited by giants in costumes trying to kill us.  But, we kidnap a dog as well.  Why, I don't know.  Then we end up back in Philadelphia, and we're eating hoagies for breakfast.

Parts of it are missing, as it's been years.  For whatever reason it just really creeped me out, and I've had it twice.

Also, I had a couple of dreams as a kid about events that would happen down the line.  Like, I missed some school and hadn't talked to classmates of mine, dreamt about a final we'd be having (which, not being in school for a couple weeks, I'd not know about).  Then, get there, take it, and pass, without studying.

Well, last night I was the director for a play the Three Amigos were putting on for their town. The other night I was witnessing the first N.W.A. album being made, complete with original rapping.

I haven't watched The Three Amigos or listened to N.W.A. in years.

Have you noticed that you never see The Three Amigos and N.W.A. in the same room at the same time?  Coincidence?  I think not...

I had one two nights ago ~ I dreamed that Oliver Stone was directing me in a movie.

Were you sleeping with THE DOORS open?  Were you having a SEIZURE?  Did you sleep with your Cookie Monster doll in THE HAND?  Did it happen on ANY GIVEN SUNDAY?

I had to make a UTURN at JFK Airport before the army PLATOON escorted me to SALVADOR where I met the COMMENDANTE named ALEXANDER who was living SOUTH OF THE BORDER.

Too bad you weren't Born on the 4th of July!

During the YEAR OF THE DRAGON, after an accident on the MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, I got a SCAR on my FACE after colliding with HEAVEN AND EARTH.

Mofo Rising, I know you live in Arizona. We visited Arizona one year and went to Old Tuscon Studios and they have a live show with THE THREE AMIGOS. It was so great sitting in the audience and watching the comedy with the Arizona mountains and dusty streets of the studios that I nearly cried. Not sure why, but it hit me pretty good. We ate barbaque ribs at BIG JAKES across from the Amigos movie set and I even got a picture with the THREE AMIGO'S from the show.

It's amusing; my parents visited me a few years ago, so we took the tour of the Old Tucson Studios. It was very clear that are tour guide had nothing but disdain for The Three Amigos. He would get really excited when he showed us where all the classic John Wayne and John Ford films were made. Then, every once in a while, he would show us a place where The Three Amigos was filmed. You could hear the audible sigh in his voice when he had to announce that.

I love The Three Amigos.

I have always had very intense dreams. I usually wake up several times during the night, still in the throes of my most recent dream. I fall back into sleep, and it usually involves a continuation of the previous storyline. Or tasks I have to do, which all seem very real to me as I'm trying to sleep.

The thing that really gets me these days is that moment when I wake up and am completely unmoored in the world. I will wake up and have no idea where I am, or almost with no idea who I am. Slowly the information will filter in. I'm in Phoenix, where I live, now I can place myself.

Another aside, I tend to dream epic storylines. Some of the most fascinating narratives I've ever been party to take place in dreams. But they never finish. My theory is that your dreams become more understandable the closer you get to waking consciousness. The "climax" of the story usually takes place when your waking consciousness reasserts itself. Unfortunately, that means I never get to to hear the end of all the really cool stories my brain is telling itself when I sleep, because when it starts getting good, I wake up.

My brain is almost hyperactive when I sleep, and occasionally I find myself in what people call "lucid dreaming." But I'm somebody who really enjoys what other people would term a disturbing intensity.

Had a dream last night that I was in my grandparent's old farmhouse.  Of course it was bigger and more elaborate in the dream.  I was trying to kill a spider, except it was surrounded by some hard substance so I failed to squash him.  I got a length of 2X4 and started going through the house.  I eventually killed the spider with an old hammer, and the head of the hammer fell off afterwards so I had to put it back on.  I also killed some big red centipede/crab thing that was about 8" long.  My mom was there and identified it as something, can't remember.  Then I found some rats and mice and killed them too.

I had a slight headache before bed so I took a couple aspirin.  I think the caffeine creates a weird sleep state and lets me remember my dreams, which I normally can only remember about once a year, if not once in two years.

I love The Three Amigos.

I too am from Arizona and love The Three Amigos. It's practically a state residency requirement. If that guy doesn't like that movie he should just leave.

Dreamed I came across a fetish site on the Internet where nude women dress as Santa Claus.

Aren't they all nude before they dress as anything?

I knew someone would bring that up after I wrote it.  They wore hats and fake white beards.
