i dreamt i had the same accent as sarah palin

What does it mean if I have a recuring dream about beating up my sister's ex? He did a 5 month jail term for spousal abuse lol, but should I be the one behind bars? If you knew me you'd never call me a violent person, but that's how these things work, if I had mad anger issues I'd prolly be the last to know. Any advice here?

yes you should be the one behind bars

i was in a hotel the other day and there was a bottle of water in the room and it had a tag on it that said like "you will be charged $5 if you drink this water" so i dreamt that i was trying to figure out how to drink the water and refill the bottle and make it look like it was never opened. i tried a lot of different ways.

i did that at a hotel once. it's not that hard. i was able to get it so that the bottom plastic ring was pressed up against the cap. it looked like it was sealed, but if you twisted the cap off, it was obvious that the seal had been previously broken.

is it weird knowing that my life experience was your dream come true?

you two are gonna kiss.

i dreamt i was a really good ice skater (i suck at ice skating irl)

i dreamt i heard a noise in my kitchen cabinet and i opened it and there was a rat eating my onions! i grabbed it with my hand and held it underwater until it stopped squirming. what does my dream mean?

this reminds me of an actual dream in a freud book but i can't remember it

a dream i was lost in a familiar nieghborhood then ended up at my grandmothers house but scared to go

a dream i bought two jackets (one purple, one green) and each one came with a dog! i had a black dog and a white dog.

i dream a mudslide inundated my work but we didn't die. what does my dream mean

i dream i had to live at my parents and they moved to this huge 10 bedroom house but it was ugly and they gave my sisters the better bedrooms even though they didn't live there and the room i got had stains on the carpet. what does my draem mean.

oh it could mean anything really but probably that your going to die?

the other night I dreamed I had babby but did not know how to care for babby and babby did not do very well because I forgot to change and feed it and then I left it somewhere by accident. :-( It was scary and sad. what could dream mean aside from that I will one day be horrible mother?

i am not the person to ask about horrible mothers...

Tehresa,

Do your parents hoard back issues of Reader's Digest? I need the October, 2007 issue with Martina McBride on the cover. I'm starting to think it's an ultra-rare limited edition, so at this point I'm just asking everyone I know to keep their eyes peeled. I won't give up while there's hope, godd*mnit!(lol)

As always, I'm a huge fan of your work.

this reminds me of an actual dream in a freud book but i can't remember it

i remember it now and it's the RAT MAN dream (duh) except in that dream the rats bit the guy in the ass because he was stuck to a bucket full of rats. that is not my dream but i have a lot of dreams about killing or mutilating rats and mice. i tink it's kinda ridicalous

i bought that book but i forgot to read it what does that mean?

i rarely remember my dreams what does it mean?

oh i used to know the answer to that one

does that mean anything? that i don't now?

i dunno i remember a few per week. they are very vivid! i'm always tired and a v heavy sleeper so that could be it.

oh the rat man was not really a dream just an obsession this guy had with rats and torture

it seems like the only vivid dreams i ever have (or remember having) are bad dreams. but i have gotten to the point now where in such dreams, i can recognize that i am dreaming, and i can then wake myself up. i wish i could fuck around in my dreams once i realize that i am dreaming, but i never seem to remember to do that.

otm

cept last time i couldn't wake myself up and overslept!

i can control a dream for 5-10 seconds once i realize i'm in it

it's thrilling. i wish i could make it last longer

my lucid dreams are always about work and i can't stop the madness!!!

it actually requires a lot of effort, to wake myself up once i realize i'm dreaming. it feels like it's straining my brain.

unnecessary comma

you better not do it, then (commas or self-waking)

self wanking

jergins how much control do you have in your dreams? can you basically do anything you want and make anything happen that you want?

movement mostly. and i can conjure people or actions
just for seconds though

(all w/in the current dream situation)

teach me!

what happens after a few seconds? why aren't you able to maintain?

Do I have a special power or was it a coincidence?

earthquakes always wake you up?

i can control my dreams if i am very tired and falling asleep

i also have sleep paralysis sometimes, like last time it happened i thought someone was shaking my bed, getting into my bed, and breathing on my neck and i couldn't turn around and prove that it wasn't happening. i didn't panic though because i knew it was not possible and it had happened before.

oh yeah the other day i dreamt that an irl friend i have not seen in a few months lived on the 6th floor of an apt building and i kept breaking into his apt during the day and stealing books from him, reading them, and returning them secretly on another day. it was weird, i could have just asked to borrow his books.

I dreamt that I met Raoul Wallenberg in a mental hospital, but he was minimally conscious and apparently dying of radiation poisoning(?). He wore a threadbare grey sportcoat with a Star of David on the breast; his nurse said he hadn't changed his clothes in sixty years because his skin was extremely sensitive to sunlight. I took two cellphone photos of Raoul and promptly left because my press pass only allowed me to stay there for 15 minutes. On the way out, a guard made me delete one of the photos, claiming it "violated the great man's dignity." He didn't notice the other one.

I dreamt that I was dating a woman, and went back to her apartment for the first time. It turned out that she had a dog, which I didn't know about. IRL I'm allergic to dogs. Anyway, during the dream this dog, which was a bulldog to start with, transmogrified into a bear cub. That may sound cute, but I knew in the dream that the moment this woman's back was turned, this dog/bear was going to try and bite my face off. And that's not all. It hadn't been neutered, at least not properly, and it kept treading on it's scrotum until it was this huge flap of skin that the dog/bear kept tripping over. I decided that I couldn't possibly date this woman, so I told her that I was dumping her, on the basis of her ownership of this psychotic chimera. Then I trapped the beast by shutting it's scrotum flap in a door, in order to ensure my escape.

i dreamt my uncle was in charge of hiring someone for a job and he wanted me to fax his written decision to other people. it turned out he was hiring me! i promised not to read it but i could see through the cover sheet. the writing referred to "the queen" but i knew they meant me.

the writing referred to "the queen" but i knew they meant me.

:D love this line

i dreamt i was outside with my sister late at night in front of my parents' house and a guy was walking by. he started to walk up the driveway because he wanted to commit armed robbery against someone, either me or someone else. i told him he had to leave the property. he began to retreat but as he did he shot at me 5 times. somehow i knew none of the shots would hit me so i was just like "meh." i didn't call the police. the next day i was sitting in a room with some people, possibly at a school where the other people were students. i was reading an old newspaper. i saw an article with a large picture of the guy. i then looked up and he was sitting on a chair nearby, minding his own business. i said "HEY! IT'S YOU!!!" and he kind of shrugged. i told him i didn't believe in calling the police so i wasn't going to get him in trouble but i said it wasn't right to come onto someone's property and shoot at them, and he should consider not doing things like that anymore because other people might have guns and shoot him back.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS CONFUSING FREAM

you want someone to give you an erotic massage, but you're unsure whether it should be in the traditional style or "siam" style.

I went out back to this trash compactor. I had a big mail bin. I pulled a lever and held the bin beneath the trash compactor. A bunch of mail and post cards came raining down into the bin. I went through the bin and some of the envelopes were sticky but there were 4 or 5 that were pretty thick and one post card that was cool so I snatched it. The thick letters were from 6 or 7 years ago, from my friend Scot to his mom who lived in Miami (IRL she died when he was 10). I opened one of the letters and it was like a little diary he kept for her to let her know how he was doing. I felt bad about opening that one and decided to mail them all back to him, but I couldn't remember where he lived.

I wish I had the self-control not to do this, but...

some of the ********s were sticky but there were 4 or 5 that were pretty thick and one p*** c*** that was cool so I snatched it

poignant dream though. maybe you're curious about the inner life of people who've been through tragedy because you'd like to learn how to cope with traumatic events in your own life. but you feel that it's improper and a little exploitative to seek out and study their feelings of loss for your own personal gain, so that's why you mailed the letter back to him.

hmmmm... good insight! perhaps!

ASK DOCTOR FREUD HAS HAD A BRAEKTHROUGH

dreamt

• i was about to start school. all classes took place at a dinner table! with food! boring american food. i forgot to get one of my books, though. i had to go around the corner to get it at the bookstore. the professor had written the book. the course was economics. it seemed he was making his own illegal copies but his copy machine was like some kind of stove. turned out he was teaching some kind of right-wing dumb economics so i dropped the class after i looked at the book.
• at the class/dinner table a girl had ordered whiskey. it came in a snapple bottle. i asked for some and implied she wouldn't be drinking all of that and she became irate
• i had written and published an article about economics & homelessness
• i gave legal advice to a domestic violence victim and omar little was there. he had an afro with syringes sticking out of it. i hugged him.

* You have a secret crush on someone much older.
* You're bicurious but are hesitant to act on it.
* You wish you could organize your everyday life better.
* You need a hug.

I dreamt I found a chintzy plastic Spongebob doll in the toy aisle at Walmart. when I pressed a button on his belly, he said "fuck veterans" in a German accent and not very spongey voice. I ended up buying three of the dolls because I thought they'd be worth something someday.

look under your bed. the money you left there is gone. you will know in your heart of hearts who took it.

omg

no

please tell me this is a dream

i dreamed i was dating james franco and mandee just could not believe it. what what does my dream mean?

-extremely smart guy from highschool keeps ignoring me when I go to say hi and ask him a question
-I'm back at college and I go to the wrong class and make a scene (also random moment involving battletoads video game cartridge)
- go off and find my correct class: "Folk Festival". Cool class that's outdoors
- next class has slanted floor and my desk keeps sliding down. plus the classwork makes no sense. I have trouble carrying all the coursework I receive

Dream #2
-my dorm bedroom is redecorated by my last roommate and his girlfriend. it looks pretty cool even though it was totally unexpected
-I wake up in my dorm bed somewhere outside on campus. I walk with the covers tucked in and the bed on my back all the way back to my dorm room. even though I'm quite embarassed. I act confident and meet some girls and they show up later and one of them asks me out (I say yes)
-if I remember correctly, my dorm room is empty and I take my bed, still on my back, and go find my roommate in a parking garage (another floor of the dorm) and he has all my stuff packed up in the back of his back truck-camper hybrid vehicle. I get in the camper part and I guess I no longer have a bed on my back but I'm still tied up in the sheets. along the carride I talk to chicks in the camper area (the one's I met earlier are there too). I slide around the edges of the camper since the tightly wound bedsheets don't allow me to hold on to anything. A girl asks me out patially because I'm funny when I pretend to bowl all the girls over with my friend cheering me on (somehow he's riding in the back now)
-we get to a new place to live. All my stuff is dumped out on the city sidewalk. I leave it there and follow my roommate to our new place so I know where it is and I can get out of the bedsheets and put on some clothes other than my boxers and night tee. The new place is like a tiny apartment with a gift of peanuts on the ground and other crappy welcoming gifts like gum...
-I go back and get my luggage. it has been messed with by street folk. it's evening time
-while I'm putting my luggage back together I join a game of hacky sack. I was trying to get on the good side of all the street folk so that I could get any stolen luggage back - I kick the hacky sack in the gutter (I'm rusty) but offer the dude one of my many hackysacks and we are cool with that
-I think - might have got my luggage back to my new place (no longer an important plotline). anyhow I'm back on the streets and I go to shirley's tiny bar (in which street kids are trying to get me to go) and I think I but one of the cheaply advertised beers. I join a poker game that has really weird rules and I lose my first hand. I never get around to paying for my beer/poker-hand but it doesn't seem to matter because shirley and the sketchy patrons have bigger things going on (patrons are making drug deals etc.)
-I get gum stuck in my mouth and no matter how much I pull out it won't go away. It becomes a pitiful spectacle and I pump chumps driving around in gocarts for change at the city corner. I get a dollar which I remember to keep for when I go back and pay my tab. meanwhile I have become one of the streetpeople and one street pal even helps me pull gum out of my mouth. It stretches a few yards away before it snaps out of my mouth. (I step in gum and the puller accidentally gets some of it in his mouth at one point). I feel like I almost got all the gum out after a really long time spent snapping pieces out - mostly me doing all the pulling

<typos due to me typing on my phone while lying in bed>

i dreamt that all my skin imperfections turned into a small white specs of liquid, like tipp-ex and i wiped them away and i was perfect

oh god, I had a Miss Buxley dream last night.

she (dreamland Miss Buxley) wasn't cartoonized & didn't even look like the comic strip character, but I knew who she was. I was working as an intern in a military office, and she handed me a stack of papers, telling me to deliver them to the general.

I wandered the hallways in search of the general, but I got lost and ended up returning to Miss Buxley's office. except it wasn't an office anymore: it was a WAR ROOM. there was a war map on the wall with pins stuck in it. one of the pins was flashing red and white like an ambulance beacon, and a few seconds later all the pins around it were flashing too. this meant war!

somehow it was all my fault.

I've had a few of dreams lately where I'm at the far end of a loooooong parking lot and I'm walking toward a mall or stadium or restaurant or whatever. there are lots of empty parking spaces closer to the building, which is convenient because in my dream world it's customary for people to leave their car doors unlocked and their keys out in the open so that friendly strangers can borrow their vehicles while they're out shopping. it's a very safe and trusting dream world, I guess. all I have to do is hop in a car, drive it to a better space, and go on my way. what does this mean?

i guess we need to get to the bottom of why you have trusting people in your dream world and everything's safe

i dreamt that my friend's cat, which is at least 12 years old now and firmly in the cranky old cat stage of its life, suddenly got really excitable around me and started leaping over my head repeatedly. which i think is physically impossible even for a cat. what does my dream mean?

I dreamt that I had somehow got on a professional baseball team and hit a single. But when I was on first base the opposing team's coach unfairly made me forfeit my single because I wasn't wearing any shoes. And he got his way because he's a coach and I'm just a random dude that somehow got to swing the first bat of the game. Anyways, I was really pissed off.

(this is my dream diary, I don't really want my dream interpreted)

ciderpress, you are the cat. you might be getting old but you know in your heart that you aren't too old to be excitable and jump around

I dreamed captainlorax started the 2011 ilx poetry tourney. then I woke up.

I dreamt that I was watching a music video by some girl singer with a celebrity father. Willow Smith? Hailie Mathers? Sonic Youth's daughter? whoever it was, the song was titled "My Dad's a Turd" and the chorus was just a girl joyously shout-singing, "my dad's a turd!" over and over while a cartoon seagull slid down a series of diagonally-placed party hats onscreen. here's a sketch of it:

http://i55.tinypic.com/am84g2.jpg

I don't really want to know what this means.

haha

some people come up with musical masterpieces in their sleep. I come up with "My Dad's a Turd." maybe I should pitch it to Ark Music Factory.

I dreamt that I was watching Lemmy from Motorhead eating beans on toast. Except instead of the slices of toast being positioned on the plate next to each other, he put the first slice on the plate, covered it in beans, then put the second slice on top of that, then covered it in the remaining beans.

it is your subconscious trying to warn you that space is dark, it's so endless, when you're lost it's so relentless.

black metal churchburner Varg Vikernes appearwed to me in a dream! I was walking around Swanzey Lake with a bunch of my dream friends when Varg crossed our path. he looked a lot like this (# GIS result):

http://i53.tinypic.com/sgmr9x.jpg

but he wasn't smiling & he was wearing a long, white Polyphonic Spree robe. I asked one of my friends if it was really Varg and they said yeah, and I spent a long time debating whether to report the Varg sighting to the police. I decided not to do anything about it though.

I dreamt that I was at my parent's house, and I found my mother's old 1960's Dansette record player. On the platter was a slightly warped (both physically and in musical content) GG Allin single called 'The Biggest Insult in the World' (which doesn't actually exist).

I dreamt I was dating a possessed girl. she was really sweet, but every minute or so a demon would enter her body & her eyes would cloud over & she'd give me a really evil stare. it only lasted for a few seconds at a time, but it was really freaky, and sometimes when she was possessed she would make jerky hand movements and growl something cryptic (but not necessarily evil) like, "we're waiting for the doctor." I met her family at a dinner party, and they were really embarrassed whenever she got possessed. and one time when we were in class together, one student was bullying a gay kid, and when my girlfriend went into one of her fits, she glared at the bully and was like, "cut it out with the homophobia." I guess her demon wasn't so evil after all, but it still creeped me out.

I also had a dream that I wrote down a detailed summary of the demon dream in my dream log. I don't even keep a dream log.

I've had a few other dreams about writing in a dream log. it seems like half of my dreams these days are meta.

ha

harbl said something about meta dreams upthread, so I guess I'm not the only one. the demon dream was even more complicated because in one version of the dream, everything was happening in real life, and in another version, I was an actor in a youtube tv series about a guy with a haunted girlfriend. it seems like even my subconscious is tainted by our hypermediated society. pretty soon all of my dreams will be about posting to Ask Dr. Freud.

I dreamt that my mom and I were on vacation in Costa Rica. it was a brief overnight visit, and we spent the entire time sitting in our hotel room watching tv. the remote control was weird because it had two extra buttons: one labeled 'ZOMBIES 'N' BLOOD' and another labeled 'CHILI'S'. when I pressed the 'CHILI'S' button, I was treated to an on-demand horror movie compilation sponsored by Chili's® Grill & Bar. I didn't press the 'ZOMBIES 'N' BLOOD' button.

I dreamt that I was running down the steps of a cathedral killing bees with my bare hands

but then the POV of the dream shifted, and I found myself watching a TV movie in which some dude was running down the steps of a cathedral killing bees with his bare hands

I couldn't figure out the title of the movie, so I started hitting people up on the IMDb forums, but no one could tell me what it was called

(it wasn't My Girl)

i dreamt i was possibly in the military or something, outdoors in nature in a line w other dudes and we were all peeing….when i finished peeing part of my penis detached and fell to the ground. On the ground it turned into a snake w red and black stripes but still w the head of a penis.. I didnt really want anyone to notice so i surreptitiously picked it up and tried to put it as a bookmark in a book to save it.. as i went to close the book its tongue shot out and hissed and i dropped the book

what does my fream mean

I'm not touching that one.

wow that is some fream

i dreamt that there was a famous image file called "indies.jpg" that people would post online a lot, it had some sort of storied history and was known to everyone by precisely that filename, kind of like canyon.mid or whatever. the actual image was just a solid turquoise field with a black and white pixelated smudge at the lower right. when i woke up i immediately went to my computer and opened up ms paint and tried my best to replicate it as i saw it in the dream. so, here is my recreation of the famous indies.jpg
