There was an object over by where their old stereo is, which looked like a large CD boombox, except it processed things like printed out paper. It was lit up with a bunch of amber lights and was very hot. It had a fan going going to cool the system off. Evidentally it had been running for a long time and no one had bothered to turn it off when not in use. Then I got a strange call from someone who I knew from high school but IRL had committed suicide over 20 years ago. He said that he had been using this thing and had left it on for me. I don't know if this is part of the same dream or not, but I was also watching a DVD (which came on a white 3.5" diskette...you know, like for Mac systems pre 1999. I don't know what the DVD was about in general, but part of it contained very glammy rocker scenes like from Velvet Goldmine (but it wasn't Velvet Goldmine). Then I was in a very weird situation where I was at a table with a bunch of snooty women around 50 years old. They were discussing cloves, and one had a "clove pod" that she pulled out of a teapot. It was a weird thing shaped sort of like a coccoon. It was white, but not because of color, but because it was glowing. I asked the woman who was talking about it whether it was burning which was why it was glowing, or whether it was influoresence. Now that I'm awake, I realize that influoresence has to do with flowering, what I probably meant in the dream was phosphoresence. No wonder why the woman looked at me strangely. In another dream, I was sitting on the front steps of my house with Stan and probably Tim. There were a bunch of young high-school aged girls around that were giggling and acting silly. Then a man came up to the door making a delivery. I asked him what it was and said that someone had to sign for it. I think Stan signed for the package. Then the delivery man went on to explain that it was a pair of jeans from Stan's high school football team and that he was selected to keep the jeans for a year. (WTF?) Tim and I had a big laugh over that. Later, I was in a room that looked like my parent's den. I was lying on the floor with an aquarium filled with lizards and geckos. Stan was figuring out what to do with the pants. In another dream later that morning I dreamt I was at a cheap restaurant or diner...maybe even outside on a patio. I was sitting on the table, so it must've been a very casual place. I was with Stan and someone who I think was probably Tim, but I don't know. Both of them were ordering drinks (drink drinks...IRL Tim cannot consume alcohol because of his condition...well, I can't either for that matter, but my condition won't kill me...just make my jaw hurt) The waitress was most scary. She was either my age and looked older or maybe she was around 50. She was very tall for a woman, brown hair that was moderately long but worn in a swept up style, glasses I think and moderately thin. She was like a Frankenstein version of an NPW* History teacher I had one semester. The most freaky thing about her was that despite the fact she was fairly thin, she was wearing some lowcut shorts and a shirt that exposed her stomach. At first it appeared she was pregnant, however she was too old for that. When I got a glimpse of her stomach, it was disturbing. There was an initial large bulge that was rather jaundiced colored, and on top of the main bulge there was a bulge on top of that that was reddish colored. Not only was she gross to look at, but she took the orders from Tim and Stan and just totally ignored me. I was pissed about that and when I get pissed in customer service situations both IRL and in dreams I tend to talk to the pisser in a very overly sweet voice...a sarcastically sweet voice. So I ask this woman if I could order as well. She comes back to our table and says something like, "not if you're going to talk to me that way." I told her I would like to order and she asks me what I want and I say a Cherry Vanilla Coke. She says they don't have any (this place looked like they specialized in stuff like Cherry Vanilla Cokes) so I order something else, but I forget what. Later she returns with our drinks. Stan's and Tim's drinks look so good, and mine looks so bland, so I grab Stan's drink to indulge myself for maybe one sip, but the drink turns to a tube of chocolate disk candy (Werther's?). *That's Ann and Stan for Nasty Piece of Work
17 Comments Very wild dreams...Pants? Posted by Stan @ 03:09:2006:09:13 AM CST "Tim and I had a big laugh over that." me too! Posted by greenthumb @ 03:09:2006:09:25 AM CST So did Stan! Also a few more points about this epic dreamadventure: A clove pod is not real. It was like a tamarind pod, but it was cloves. A made-up dream thing. The delivery man in the Pants part had sort of long greyish hair. He looked a little like the head vet on that Animal Emergency hospital show on Animal Planet (Dr. Ferguson?) but maybe younger and shorter. In the tumoroid waitress part, I remember the color olive green a lot, like the decor of the place was olive green. And black. It was definitely at night. It was like a cross between Glass Nickel Pizza (the color scheme at the entrance), Monty's (for the outside picnic table area), Ella's Deli (for the style of the food), part of the defunct for 10 years Cafe Palms/Club de Wash/Barber's Closet/New Bar microbrewery (for the drinks served and the outdoor seating area at the microbrew place) and Mel's Diner (for the surliness of the waitress). You'd have to know Madison and Madison's history to know the restaurants/bars mentioned above, except for Mel's diner, in which case you just would've needed to watch some bad TV in the 70s. Posted by Ann @ 03:09:2006:09:45 AM CST According to the RD article on dreams, colors are significant. Mel's Diner? Was that the one with the waitress who wore spandex pants? Posted by greenthumb @ 03:09:2006:09:51 AM CST Yes, Flo. This waitress was similar to Flo, except she looked like Mrs. Larsen...remember her? Posted by Ann @ 03:09:2006:10:01 AM CST Yes. I actually remember some of the stuff I learned in her class too (Civics) such as the 3 branches of the government, the systems of checks and balances, political expressions such as "lame duck" and "throwing your hat in the ring." Posted by greenthumb @ 03:09:2006:10:10 AM CST I took her for one semester in 9th grade and her class just DWELLED on the Revolutionary War. It was absurd. It was as if there were no other parts to American History than that. I switched to Mr. Ferguson (hmmm...odd...2nd time that name came up) the 2nd semester. I didn't care much for him all that much as a teacher but he was better than Mrs. Larsen. She was witch-like to me, very severe. I enjoyed the Friday quiz things he did at least. Posted by Ann @ 03:09:2006:10:28 AM CST I'm sure you could spend a whole semester on the Revolutionary War and just barely scratch the surface. But I know what you mean. I remember the name Ferguson more than the person. Tim Ferguson's Dad? I remember Tim. Friday quizzes? Newspaper quizzes where you'd divide into teams and get quizzed on current events? I'd do a lot better on that now than I did in junior high!

Posted by greenthumb @ 03:09:2006:10:37 AM CST Mel's diner... would anyone open a diner now modled after that one with food and wait staff like a romanticized retro thing? Even more interesting... what are the meanings of colors in dreams? Posted by Stan @ 03:09:2006:10:41 AM CST According to the RD article, some expert says that black means death and other negative things, red excitement or similar, blue tranquility, etc. These seemed like very safe interpretations to me. Same kinds of color/emotion correlatios that people have when awake. Posted by greenthumb @ 03:09:2006:10:56 AM CST Yes, the divided up room Friday quizes with current events questions. I always looked forward to those. I think it was a nice touch to an otherwise dry subject, not that I would think American history is dry now, but at that time it was different because it seemed like any teacher I had made the topic dull. Now, with television productions on PBS (Ken Burns Civil War comes to mind) and Hisotry Channels, it is much more interesting. But at the time, given the teaching methods and media...ZZZzzzzzzzz Yes, Tim (hmmm...that's the 2nd tim to come up in this entry) Ferguson was his son. I didn't like any of those kids. Tim was working at a gas station basically across the street from the Ferguson mansion near Elizabeth and Smith street or something back in '83 when I had my first Honda. I couldn't get the pump to work so I went inside for some help and he yelled at me like it was my fault. Maybe it was, but that was no reason for him to act that way. Asshole. I never went back to that station. Posted by Ann @ 03:09:2006:11:06 AM CST I never liked TF much myself. I can easily picture him having zero Customer Service skills. Posted by greenthumb @ 03:09:2006:11:56 AM CST I don't think that gas station is in business anymore is it? At least I can't remember it last few times I've visited there. Posted by Ann @ 03:09:2006:12:04 PM CST I don't ever recall a gas station at that location. Are you possibly thinking about one on Stover that's near Laurel? Or one on Whedbee one block south of Elizabeth? Both are in older residential neighborhood. Posted by greenthumb @ 03:09:2006:12:23 PM CST It's probably the one on Wheedbee...I just couldn'tremember the exact street. Posted by Ann @ 03:09:2006:12:28 PM CST After 15 years you can't remember the location of a gas station that you haven't patronized for over 20 years? What a surprise!
