04:05:2002 Entry: "DREAMs"

DREAMs

This is the absolute stupidest, most ridiculous dream I've ever had. You know how dreams can wake you up in seizures of emotion, either happy or sad? Sad dreams cause you to wake up crying. Usually, once awake and recounting the dream, you can see why you were sad...a pet died, a lover left. Dreaming of frustrating situations cause me to wake up talking in my sleep either telling someone off or trying to explain myself. Again, once awake, I can see why I was angered enough for the verbal outburst. Every once in a while I'll have a dream that while dreaming it, I'll find extremely funny. But once awake, it won't seem funny...it'll just seem moronic. This was such a dream:

I was looking at underwear in a department store. Some packs of underwear came with a free Quasimodo plastic toy (like that badly done Disney cartoon character, not like the original Victor Hugo character of pathos). Other women were looking at the underwear too. We were all stumped by why they were offering a free Quadimodo toy with them. Then someone said something like "It gives a new meaning to cleaning you out," implying the toy would come alive and...clean you down there while you're wearing the underwear.

I woke up in fits of laughter and couldn't stop. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending) Stan was sleeping on the futon in the living room because he has been sick with a cold, so he didn't hear me.

See, isn't that just stupid? What's funny about it? Nothing. What is funny, is that I would find something like that funny. So I guess it is funny in a removed sense.

Later at night I had a dream that I was on the other futon in the living room, my butt up in the air, and I was wearing no pants. I realized people might be able to see me through the windows...it worried me a little, especially since I had the anatomy of a man. Weird.

Just weird.

You really should get a book about dreams to see what they mean and what they're trying to tell you, or what you are trying to tell yourself through the dreams at night. You have some of the most mixed dreams from night to night that I've ever heard about. It must mean something.

I don't want to know what they mean though. It's more fun this way...like one strange David Lynch short series each night.

It could just mean I remember my dreams better than most people who will tend to forget them. ;-)
