So, I'm here because of a dream [More:]

I had a dream about not being to sleep. I dreamt I was tossing and turning and decided I would go out for some smokes and root beer to clear my head. While at the convenience store (which seamed to exist in the 1930s) someone tries to mug me and I flee, dropping all my hard-won insomnia grub, running until I find a fancy french bistro that is, thankfully, 24 hours. The clock says it's 4am, I'm tired as hell, the food is taking forever, and I can't smoke cause I dropped my smokes in the mugging.

Then, slowly, everyone in the bistro starts singing "Brain Damage" from Dark Side Of the Moon. They all stop dead in order to sing which is equally strange cause I've heard that song like once, ever. I register a "WTF" before they all vanish into mist and I wake up with the phrase "The lunatic is in the hall" on my lips and a vague but powerful sense of dread.

Which is why I'm up here, now, at this ungodly hour.
*whuffles The Whelk* There there.

I had a weird dream too. I'm sorry yours was crap and woke you up. Sounds really scary and realistic.

Mine was school-related and thankfully not at all realistic. I had gotten in TONS of trouble for something, and I had to hide out from some vague presence. I was almost not going to graduate, but I sense the trouble was way more than just that.

So I was in a dorm suite that everyone else had moved out of. For some reason though, the Palin family was there, and Sarah Palin was really, really nice to me. I kept telling her how I was 100% her opposite on issues, and that I was surprised at how nice she was. She was cheering me up, and eventually one of her girls came in to bring her a cute pair of blue shoes. I squeed and she brought out another pair to show me. I recall the first pair was a brand that was really spendy, but that I couldn't quite see what kind. The second pair were Charles David.

What the fuck?

It has something to do with the meteors.

3rd report of a nightmare last night! What astral plane event can we blame this on?

I slept the sleep of the dead, and now I feel like I'm missing out on something.

I dreamed of electric sheep.

I dreamed I was at a store trying on a suit and my underwear turned into bees and flew around the store.

"It is clear that *something* is trying to make itself known ...possibly using the medium of Devils Rancher's unused Dreamstuff to send confused messages during the brief astrological event corresponding with the Perseids. "

I was an astronaut last night. Except I was rushing to meet my shuttle and got there just in time to watch it take off, with a huge fireball explosion just overhead that threw me to the ground. Probably from watching half of Hangar 18 the other night.

So weird, I had a really bad dream too last night. You know those dreams where when you wake up, you run to your kid's room to make sure they're still there and safe? Yeah. I hate those dreams.

Damn meteors.

Fuck me, but I made up for it last night. Work had become this mega-corporation, and I was working in a cube farm. The guy next to me was gay, and totally misinterpreted my friendliness as hitting on him -- he took me to lunch, where he proceeded to totally not get what I was saying when I told him I had absolutely no problem with him as a person, but was married with children and didn't "do" guys. He was giving me gifts & stuff, one of which was this totally gaudy, cheap bling necklace that I felt obliged to wear.

When I got back to work, everyone was doing coke, and there were huge mounds everywhere on every table, and I was like "Oh, not THIS shit again" when the alarm clock went off -- it was playing Highway to Hell.

Ugh.

That wasn't a dream, Devils Rancher. That was time travel. ; )

Hey momma, look at me - I'm on my way to the promised land.
