They're one of the most evil villains ever devised. I am shocked, yes, shocked that you have not heard of them.

Weird and random dream I had last night:

In my dream Seth MacFarlane was a neighbor of mine, and was throwing a big holiday party at his house. It was like every cool house (well, what I think is cool) rolled into one, to the point of radically conflicting decor. It only worked in dream logic. 50's style diner bar, billiard table in rustic cabin, christmas tree in swanky townhouse living room and other bits and flashes. Early on in the party there was a live TV cooking segment, where I impressed the TV host with knowledge of the differences in baking with real whipped cream vs fat-free whipped topping. Then everyone starts taking their seats for dinner, and there are lots of people there. The menu is a limited selection from Red Robin (burger restaurant chain) that has a mini-location inside of Seth MacFarlane's house. I'm trying to decide what I want, and wondering if there's dessert, when I spot some friends of mine I haven't seen in years. I'm thinking how odd it is that Seth knows them and then the dream fades.

I love it when I have interesting dreams.

I had a dream recently in which I met up with someone I used to hang out with in high school. He said I should call him at is old number and was about to remind me what it was, and I spouted it off from memory. He was shocked and I confidently told him that he should remember how good I was with remembering phone numbers and dates and stuff like that.

When I woke up I realized that

a) the number I told him was his (and he RECOGNIZED as his in the dream) was actually the number of an old coworker of mine from a few years back; and
b) I actually remember the REAL number of the house he lived in in high school.

Weird.

If it was McFarlane's house, it was probably interesting and new for the first couple of rooms, but then the rooms kept repeating themselves.

You know what I just realized? Denethor, the Steward of Gondor in The Return of the King and Walter Bishop, the nuttier-than-a-bag-of-chipmunks professor in Fringe are played by the same actor! I just watched some of LotR and kept waiting for Denethor to call for Asterix and ask for some ammonia and a spatula.

My mind, she is blown.

I had a weird dream the other night. Dreamt I was in a movie theater and wanted some popcorn. So, I went to the concession stand, but before I was allowed to get anything, I had to defeat a North Korean Army midget or "little person" I guess I should say. It wasn't hard for me to overpower him, but he just kept getting back up. I literally kicked him across the room a couple of times, but he just sat up and walked back over to me, sneering the entire way. I woke up before i got my popcorn. That makes me sad for some reason.

Man, dreams you wake up from before getting/achieving something are the worst. I've had loads of dreams in which I was shopping for books or whatever and they ended before I could buy anything. Then again, dreams in which I do purchase sweet stuff are usually not much less frustrating, because I wake up temporarily expecting what I bought to be there. :(

Actually, now I come to think on it, I have an inordinate amount of dreams that involve wandering around in stores. I wonder why that is ...

ooo me too! I dream about stores all the time. The other night I dreamed that this target/walmart type store was closing and everything was like a dollar.
It was wonderful.

I dream a lot about classrooms and exams, travelling (generally by bus), hotels, and walking through town, but stores are a rare setting for my dreams! I wonder what makes one dream more of one setting or another?

I always dream about being ridiculously late to get somewhere. Like, little things keep distracting me. The most common is that I'm at school and I start to head home but then I remember that I've forgotten something and go back to get it, and then I run into someone and talk to them for a while, then I misplace something and have to look around for it. It gets to be like mid-evening and the stress and hunger is all killing me.

This dream began in grade school, wen I lived a 15 minute walk from my school. In high school, it bacame a half hour bus ride or 40 minute walk, depending on the weather. Now in college, it's a 90 minute bus ride home. So clearly the dreams have been getting much much worse.

It's always zombies for me. They're pretty easy to analyze though. I'm fairly certain they are the shambling embodiments of stress. The upside is that my dreams are always coherent and movie-like, as far as I can recall.

A recurring dream kind of like Gusto's is remembering halfway through the semester that I'm enrolled in a class that I've forgotten to attend.

I had a dream last night that I was haunted by a ghost. So what do I do? I hunt the ghost down and eat it.... I sucked it into my lungs and was all like chanting in a strange language to destroy the ghost.

My wife woke me up because I was talking in my sleep again. I dream about ghosts often. I don't believe in them though, is that strange? This is the first time that I did anything to fight the ghosts though.

Your dream means the same.


Actually, your dream is fucking awesome. You've ruined all ghost movies for me with the knowledge that the ghosts can simply be eaten, if only the humans were more carnivorous.

Not a recurring dream for me, but I've had it. The worst part of it was waking up and not being sure whether or not I'm really enrolled in a class I've forgotten to attend.

I have those dreams. My recurring theme is water--usually the same gross-looking beach next to shark-infested waters. The sand is almost gray, and it makes more of a short plateau than a gentle slops towards the sand. I always meet someone different. Last time it was an old woman in a shack who hoarded beach trash.

In the school where I'm substituting it's customary that at least a week before an exam the teacher sends a notice home with the student, informing the parents of the coming exam. I handed out such notices to my 3rd- and 4th-graders today, telling them to show the notice to their parents and return the papers with their signature on it. Today, one of the third-graders comes to me and asks if she can have a new notice. Why, I ask, wondering to myself how could she have lost it between putting it in her backpack and getting home. She then informs me that she had left the notice on the table, and that the family dog had reached out and ripped the paper to pieces.

That's right.

The dog ate her homework.

It happens despite the cliche. My german shepherd literally ate my homework in grad school once. This being a grad class, that was a lot to re-do.

Random:
I was reading an article on the Financial Times and the still-present caste system in this society was once again elucidated to me. This person was talking about internet addiction, and was writing about her 'fashionable, astute' friend who posted photos of monkeys on FB with pithy captions, because being childless, she was 'satirizing' her breeder friends' photos of children. She went on about how clever this was, and how it examined society, blah blah blah. What? EVERYONE EVERYWHERE has noticed that monkeys act kind of like people. Everyone has seen a photo of a monkey in a human-like situation and thought that immediately. If her more rustic associates had made that joke, she'd roll her eyes about how simple their humor was.
