so this dream was so amazing that i actually just got out of bed to post about it!
setting: i can only assume sometime in the not too distant past like maybe the 90s.
steve irwin and i fought ghost crocodiles! they were ghosts/crusty zombies that just walked around, but then they would turn into crocodiles and the only way to kill them (i have to assume since i didn't kill any of them any other way) was to break their neck. i wore two red rubber matresses to protect my torso and had pillows wrapped around my arms and legs for protection, but steve fought with nothing but kakis (sp.). personally my favorite part, just for the strangeness it brought to the dream, was that one of the ghost/crocs was virginia woolf... whom i've never read and pretty much only know the name of (i wiki'd her once i woke up). the strange part was that it seemed i knew that she and steve were friends, so i let him kill her out of respect. but then steve being the hardcore guy he was didn't seem to care and killed her with what i can only describe was extreme malice.
overall the whole dream was plesant and not frightening at all. although the apparant anti-feminist tones present make me think i should consider seeing a therapist.
so any thoughts or screenplays being considered right now?

and i just noticed that my dream was the 2500th post on ttf.

extreme malice ahahhaha.

Wow that's a fun dream :D nice visuals, strap dbrown up with mattresses!

db: you like how i changed your user title when you told it to me over the phone?

Irwin meets Norris. Nice.

my dream last night was like a marathon.

it ended with a philosophical talk at the end with my dad, then he kills us both in a car crash. then our charred bodies continue walking and talking, then i think we finally got it all figured out.

the dream featured:
a cafe
dad, sister, mom
a professor
scarlett johansson
random cafe people stealing my chopsticks
salespeople selling us batteries

i guess it was also halloween, my birthday, and my death all on the same day. or my professor was just being weird and decided to dress in a costume for my birthday.

note that this is the second dream i've had where batteries were being purchased:

if i can transcribe the entire dream, i'll sling it up on ttf. it's like the dream of a lifetime, and much better than some of my recent economics/urinal nightmares.

I had a dream the other night. I started off in an old industrial building on the second floor which had some weird cable cars going to the base floor ~100feet. Walking around taking a look then I go back and around a wall where one of the phone guys from work was standing. There was a bunch of fiber hanging down and running across the floor which I accidentally bumped into and disconnected a few. After plugging them back in I took a set back and the same large cables as I was looking at in the start brushed up against my back. AHHH I JUST GOT ELECTROCUTED and jumped up in bed.

IT is a dangerous field

DC power will make you sterile.

That just means less of my income will go towards condoms and abortions.

lol

one of last night's dreams:

i was driving in my car with schuld. i was pissed at him for some reason. i think he was fucking with one of my loved ones. i turn to his and punch him in the face. he says something like, "dude, you're driving!" i punch him again. and he jumps on me and returns some punches. at this point, i crank the wheel all the way to one side, so we're fucking boxing with my car going around in tight circles extremely fast. then he starts choking me. at this point, i woke up.

an email from dbrown:

once again ttf has made it into my dreams, this time it was 100 percent redesigned
the bg and color theme was a lot like bp oil company but blue instead of green. also the whole thing was threaded with
spin down boxes. it had a built in document manager so that a new thread could be
started and a file could be referenced like an attachment. also all the main forums had
changed. it was crazy. when i woke up and visited ttf it took me like 2 mins to realize
i had dreamed about the other ttf and that you didn't just do an svn revert...

I try my best not to sleep for long periods of time because of the fact that my dreams are so vividly disturbing to me. My lady friend Erika says I swear in my sleep every night.

when i'm bored with life, i try to change my sleep patterns so that they are more conducive to dreaming

how could one ever become bored with life?

well it's usually only for a few hours or a day, but it happens

you know, existential ennui ;o

I've been having a series of dreams recently. All different but all "starring" me and this fresh outta the mental hospital 14 year old girl. It's starting to get weird.

Use protection. And possibly a cattle prod.

dreams a million

one of last night's included a show--either the new pornos or andrew bird. there were only a few people there, so we all just sat on the ground together (except for the violinist).

then after they left, i danced around with my femme fatale.

two thumbs up

I dreamt I was driving my father's car.

torture chambers!

last night was terrible. i went to bed at midnight with a few beers in me and intentions of waking up at 7am. i studied all day yesterday for a quantitative methods (in economics) exam that was this morning at 8:45am that would cover linear programming, differential and difference equations, and optimal control theory.

i had numerous dreams about solving diffeqs and the simplex algorithm. i kept waking up all the time, so my tiny thermarest mattress pad and my sleeping bag became a torture chamber, because i'd always wake up off of the pad and with my bag all twisted up and sweaty. i've been using the bag/pad for two months now, and it's really getting annoying.

i also had a dream that myself and some other people went on a road trip (the dream took place the night before the exam). i was driving, and i didn't know where i was going. we got there and stefanie (another grad student) was walking with me and i asked her where we were and she said london, on. i asked her if she knows "ba," and she's like "fuck yeah i know ba." i likely proceeded to yell "yeah! bpa!" or something similar.

i forgot the other dreams, but there were tons of nightmares. never have i slept so little. :(

but i killed the exam this morning. i'm expecting to get a score that is one std. dev. above the mean. woo!

When done relax with a pint of something delicious... you've earned it.

i will in 3 minutes when my office hour is over. :)

i hope i didn't creep out bpa.. :o

hahaha, i'm honoured

so after stefanie and i recognized each other's knowledge of bpa, we proceed to a house party in london, which was right on the us-ca border in the dream. we were on the us side. all the girls at the party wanted burke there, so i called him up, and he was on the ca side. and i didn't bring a birt certificate or a passport. so i had to stay at the house party with all the girls.

last night there was a dance competition. i don't remember who all was involved, but it went like this:
1. you do a quick individual dance to get scored and placed into a group.
2. groups compete to win, but individual scores are also maintained.

my group got knocked out (tournament?) despite me having the highest individual score. :(

then dp and i were going to get food and this old bro-man starts harassing us. so i try to id him. (you gotta always carry your id, right?) he doesn't have it--he never has it on vacation. then he tells me about those income tax deductions.

dp gets food from dairy queen.

dairy queen, hm sounds like a good idea, and sorry if I failed your group, I'm pretty good at doing that at life.

:\

last night i almost killed a cat by shopping its head off with the end of a huge cleaver.

i also visited the back alleys of some swedish town with christy, after going through germany. there were cute girls everywhere and i couldn't keep their names straight.

hm.. what else happened.. christy and i saw some dude getting a blow job in a car. and i joked about how if the cops came, they'd just ask for a blow job as well.

one of the girls passed out or fainted at a bar, and when she stood back up i held her (because she would have been very unstable) and she got super weirded out.

.. bleh this isn't interesting

my weird dream of the week:

so my hometown got bioweaponed and everyone died except for like 1% of the population (when i woke up i wrote 1/100)

my girlfriend (clara) and i were walking around my old neighborhood and it was all eerie

we started walking up this hill and a car came out of nowhere (not literally) and hit her

she broke her "utah"

i know it sounds like "i am legend" but i haven't seen it yet.

oh yeah and then i had a dream someone got kicked out of res because they were in possession of an isotope. an isotope of what i have no clue, i'm no chemist but i'm pretty sure isotopes are everywhere. rare dangerous radioactive ones not so much.

last night I took a hot bartender home and then got in a shootout with an ak47 to protect the house

haha

was playing a role in this weird british high school comedy with some british girl alongside me. she didn't know that i had a girlfriend and was totally coming on to me the entire time.
