Re: Thread of Dreams
I dream nearly every night but they're invariably so bizarre I can only remember bits of them for 5 minutes after I awake and then they're entirely forgotten. Right now I'm struggling to actually remember any dream I've ever had. Don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: Thread of Dreams
I had a dream that my dad died again the other night. He didn't come back to life and die again, but instead died for a second time. We had to have another funeral and everything, and I was freaking out because I forgot my eulogy. Dreams are weird.

My Dad regularly fetures in my dreams despite dying 16 years ago. It is nice in a strange way because it is also equally upsetting.JennyB wrote:I had a dream that my dad died again the other night.

Re: Thread of Dreams
This was actually my first dream about him since he died about two and a half years ago. Absolutely nice and upsetting.101Walterton wrote:My Dad regularly fetures in my dreams despite dying 16 years ago.

Re: Thread of Dreams
Three days ago I had a dream that I witnessed David Tennant's Purple Man from Jessica Jones committing a crime and he used his mind control powers on a wave of children to make them believe they loved me romantically and to chase me around and publicly proclaim it to frame me as a pedophile.
Thanks, subconscious. I've been freaked out ever since.

I'm only 2 in, because Ali was interested in watching it, so we're taking it slower. He's damn well creepy as hell.JennyB wrote:Yikes. I just finished episode one. That is some dark, dark shit.

Re: Thread of Dreams
IMCT Special last night. . .
Dreamt they found the long-missing, so obscure it was never even rumored music video for "Red Angel Dragnet", and were premiering it to great fanfare on an Interwebs TV channel whose graphics looked a lot like MTV in 1992 but wasn't. Supposedly an extremely high-budget affair with groundbreaking direction for its era, enough that CBS moved R.A.D. up to the front as the lead single off Combat Rock and payola'ed MTV to make it an "Exclusive". Until some typically Clash legal infighting thing got it shitcanned at the last minute, they lost the reels between the couch cushions, and copious drug intake erased it from all 4 members' long-term memories. And then it was found in somebody's garage or septic system or whatever. So tonight. . .a world premiere.
The tape was somewhat degraded, in VHS quality. It involved Paul walking through some Salvador Dali-esque landscape full of colorful moving animated shapes, done in that pencil squiggle effect. Very high-end for 1982, and would've beaten A-Ha to the punch by 3 years. There was no plot. It was just Paul lip-synching to...those lyrics ( ²)...while strutting around in a leather jacket looking cool in some southwest-y outdoor landscape surrounded by a very busy backdrop of abstract animation. It had absolutely no relation whatsoever to the subject matter. And was very confusing. And very expensive-looking.
And in the choruses they'd pan over to the rest of the band standing in a thicket of tall abstract-art grass. Mick was wearing the sombrero and handlebar mustache from that Photoshop Doc did of Mexican Mick winning a Grammy. Joe was crouched down dressed like some troll-like creature. Then they'd pan over to a studio close-up of Topper doing the little drum solo after the choruses against a white background. I remember being surprised that he was fully involved with this production...they must've had the video sitting in the can for months.
I can't recall Kosmo's rant being in there at all. It probably was, but it was all so confusing I must've missed it. Also...there was an extended guitar intro at the beginning with close-up shots of the band playing instruments. Not like the opening riff, but some completely different Rn'R solo that went on for like 10 seconds before launching into the same old song and the video getting all confusing. It was somewhat interesting but misplaced, and it pissed me off because I was already pissed off at how absolutely nothing about how that song was constructed in the studio ever made sense.
Then it was over, and I was tired and had a headache. Because it was fucking R.A.D. with the most expensive video budget of its era, and full of confusing animation of no relevance whatsoever. And still way too much Paul. The End.
Jesus Christ, this Combat Rock.

The best part is that my Photoshop hackery has invaded—nay, haunted—Ratty's dreams. I'm updating my goddamned cv.
