dreams for today

[alexr_rwx]

I had some dreams...

In one of them, I had the standard "trying to get to the place but can't figure out where, and can't remember how it was supposed to work out" dream... in my mind it was Sunday, and that Natalie (mi hermanita) was having her first move-in as a freshman this weekend, but I couldn't remember if I was in Atlanta or Tallahassee, or how I was supposed to get there to help, or if I was going to have to drive ATL-TLH-JAX-TLH-ATL all in the same day... I was confused, but it all worked out, because it's neither a Sunday nor a day in which Natalie is about to move to Jacksonville, so we're set.

In the other one, I was with Brett zip4096, and we were in this large, white-painted building, and we had some sort of invisibility power. And a lot of video games. And we were... almost like minotaurs in a maze, in this building. Some people (Normal people, capital N) would come in, and we would be invisible and eventually catch them and beat the ever-loving snot out of them, sort of in a Ghost-in-the-Shell fashion... I'm not entirely sure why we were doing this, but that's what we were doing. Also, there was an NES with some enormous number of games, including, vividly, a multi-game cartridge with TMNT III and a "The Simpsons" game primarily about Lisa Simpson on it. Also, there was this enormous game where you had to use your real hands to bat at these virtual little balls and letters and things that were flying at you... it had this enormous console that you basically stepped inside.

Make of those what you will :)

it must've been a particularly psycho-active night in atlanta... I wonder if there's any sort of weather or psychic or magnetic change or something that induces more weird dreams than usual.

You also had some strange ones?

Last night, I dreamed that Marty parked my car near my house, but I wanted it in the carport because my grandparents were gone and it was snowing (In July. In Alabama.). So I took off my socks and went outside to move it, but it started snowing really heavily, and I couldn't see my car because everything looked like it does when it's late at night and I don't have my glasses on. There I was, lost in a snowstorm five feet from my own house! Luckily, though, five tiny dogs came to my rescue and showed me the way to safety.

hum... maybe marty is one of the dream subjects too... :) I dreamed that about 10 of us were asleep on the floor in one room. Marty came in and woke everyone up (pre-dawn), asked if they wanted chocolate cake, told everyone to go back to sleep, and said he would wake us all up when he was done baking it. Then he ran off towards the kitchen as we all went back to sleep.

10 people? on the floor of one of our dorm rooms? good god. I don't remember most of my dreams this morning but one of them involving dodging flying trains.

Knowing Marty, that might have actually taken place.

I can't imagine sleeping on those floors. The beds are hard enough. *wrinkles nose*

Wow :)

Really interesting :) I have three things to say:

1. I'm quite flattered that I showed up in your dream :) Made me feel important. I wonder what the situation we were in there means...

2. I wonder if the many-gamed-NES-ROM was inspired by the Dreamcast?

3. That Strongbad email was quite amusing.

Re: Wow :)

Important is how you should feel, then :) I think the dream was a reaction to this big ... maybe military, maybe police... training camp going on here around Tech. It's sort of representative of all that's forced-conformity/Fascist/wrong (in a Stranger in a Strange Land) sort of sense, at least in my mind. People marching around in lines for no obvious purpose, wearing uniforms, waving flags... and you're both super-important and very much not connected with this sort of thing :) Hence, it's apropos that you should show up in the dream.

I'm not sure where the NES cartridge came from, though :)
