I’ve been dreaming of pet stores lately.  This is not surprising, as I used to work in one long and long ago, but it is notable to be presented with the idea of keeping a betta, which is not a fish I have ever cared about (and it’s been even longer since I kept a fish at all ( Read more... )

I have been dreaming recently of loss and restoration.  I am not puzzled; I have lost a family member this year in a non-lethal but very definitive fashion, and part of me is still staring in bewilderment at the gap and whimpering.  But I could do without the loss part of the dreams, especially when it leaves blood all over the back seat of my ( Read more... )

Comment to this post, and I will list seven things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

I dreamed, among other things, that I was trying to hold off hospital personnel long enough to get hold of jeanniemac's sister so that we and her family could try to find a door into Narnia.  I'm kind of glad I didn't get as far as Narnia, because knowing my brain it would have screwed it up somehow, but it also makes me sad, because I think Bethie would ( Read more... )

Just woke from a nap that was mostly preparation for an upcoming zombie outbreak, à la Feed, but with mix-ins like ancient Egyptian figurines, a garbage truck, Jayne from Firefly (briefly), an iPad, and several of the cast from Criminal Intent.  I don't know if an old Victorian house was really the best pick as a refuge, but it seemed like a good ( Read more... )

Apparently my subconscious has a thing not only for parking garages and elevators but for interconnections.  I used to have a familiar street in my dreams, of shops all linked together; it was something akin to the mall I dream about from time to time, in that I know where everything is even if I can't reach it.

But I also have a basement that is ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamed I was wearing a fantastic purple dragon necklace.  I'd never wear it in real life--far too big, it took up half my collarbone--but it was gorgeous.

Unlike most of my dream details, this probably exists somewhere, or at least the close equivalent.  But I have no desire to seek it out.  

I slept about fifteen hours today.  Which wastes the day, but I needed it.  And oh, the dreams...some more pleasant than others, but I loved the swimming pool, even if it did flood the basement.  And I again dreamed that my living space had more room.  It's intriguing, how often I dream that my apartment has an extra room to it, that I am ( Read more... )

I dreamed that Sneakers had come back this morning, almost as thin as she was when she died; standing with her mother on my bed and purring loudly as I stroked her.  In the dream I knew she had been dead, and was baffled but thrilled to have her back, though I was a little worried because she wasn't healthy again.

Waking from that sort of dream is ( Read more... )
