Re: Thread of Dreams
Oh fuck, I'm so sorry that your dream state is kicking you around like that. Especially when the lady in question was a feral cat. It's no understatement to say you saved her.Mimi wrote: ↑01 Apr 2019, 12:05pmThe worst one was not too long ago. She came to me, healthy and happy, wondering what happened to her?

I think I'm glad my dreams leave no impression. My waking life has been fucked up enough lately sleep is my refuge.

Re: Thread of Dreams
My dreams are usually so damned weird and entertaining that I've come to think of them as gift that my unconscious is giving me. It's like my brain is taking time off from making me second guess myself and throwing me a bone.

Re: Thread of Dreams
I was watching a newly discovered, unaired episode of All in the Family. Meathead was trying to prove to Archie that he was a financial success, so he went to a loan shark to buy a Cadillac. Archie was impressed and told Meathead he was all wrong about him. Meathead then had to sell the car to pay back the loan shark. As I was "watching" it, I asked why the hell Meathead didn't just rent a Cadillac if he wasn't going to keep it. The other thing about the episode was that it was shot at odd angles, from behind and to the side rather than the studio audience's vantage point.

I was serving as a consultant for a musical on the life of Mark E. Smith called I am a Yam Salesman. I can't remember any other details except that the music was really good and based on unreleased recordings he'd done.

I've been calling Sister Midnight, What can I do about my dreams? It seems they won't let me sleep anymore, not sure what's going on inside my head but haven't gotten a decent nights sleep in weeks. Way too much to dream last night lately

Re: Thread of Dreams
I was working in an ad agency—surprisingly, it looked and felt nothing like Mad Men, which is my only real reference point to advertising—where I was in charge of coming up with premises. Nothing to do with products or campaigns, just premises to be stored away. A fireman using an elephant trunk like a hose was one I still remember. That's it, my work is done. It's up to someone else to apply it. I'd dick around all day, my boss looking over my shoulder and asking whether I'd taken the day off, and then I'd rattle off a couple premises and be done my work.

Did it also have a rainbow? Because, really, that's the only way it would work.

Re: Thread of Dreams
As per my job contract in the dream, application and fin tuning was someone else's department. Honestly, it was a oretty sweet gig. I come up with pelicans dancing in the shower.

I wish that was a real job. It's usually up to the copywriters or designers to do that.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 May 2019, 8:29amI was working in an ad agency—surprisingly, it looked and felt nothing like Mad Men, which is my only real reference point to advertising—where I was in charge of coming up with premises.

Re: Thread of Dreams
I was in a 1970s-style detective show—like The Rockford Files or Charlie's Angels—where I was sent to investigate a town where everyone wore small sacks over their heads. The reason they did this was that by hiding their identity, everyone could be corrupt. (Somehow people could still see what they were doing.) I was making contact with the "underground," where people would meet in washrooms and back alleys and briefly take off their sacks. The last thing I remember was being passed information about the ringleader, and then an ominous knock on the door.

Re: Thread of Dreams
I've said this before, but you always have such cool dreams. Mine are either me being back in high school and not being able to find my locker/showing up for a final after skipping the class all semester or my teeth falling out.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Jun 2019, 6:47amI was in a 1970s-style detective show—like The Rockford Files or Charlie's Angels—where I was sent to investigate a town where everyone wore small sacks over their heads.
