Dreams and Themes

Last night, I dreamed myself in the middle of a Supernatural episode. Sam's hair was slicked back, and he looked like a completely different guy (which he was-some not-Jared person was playing him). Sam had been cursed somehow, and in the middle of breaking the curse, Dean balked at kissing him to finish the job. That might have been Dean being

BYU....how interesting...are you LDS? I dated a Mormon girl and lived next door to a Mormon couple most of my adult life.

I actually am not-- I'm agnostic. I was at BYU my freshman year, because I was just turning 17, and it was that or live at home and go to the local university for that first year.

Between being agnostic and a feminist, BYU was a lonely experience. I met some really great people there, but I was so mismatched to that culture (like my time in Peoria) that I felt incredibly isolated. Many good things happened there, but overall, it was depressing.

i am highly amused that a slasher such as yourself would dream about dean NOT wanting to kiss his brother. possibly your subconscious prefers gen, and turned sam into a shrunken head to drive home the point. or your subconscious is angling for a spn/walking dead crossover....

i noticed that the scissors graphic was gone and thought it was just because i finally figured out how to get rid of it. but i guess it was an lj-wide decision. i'm ok with that!

Me too! Though the prissiness and weirdness is very much Dean.

But the part that really cracks me up is that the final part is SO much how dreams often go: everything's going along in a relatively normal (dream-normal) way, and then someone looks over and, Uh-oh. !

I love that kind of absurdity when it happens in TV, for instance. In Buffy, there was that scene where Oz called home, and you could hear his side of the conversation that went something like, "So, is cousin Jordy like, a werewolf or something?... Uh-huh... So, how long has that been going on?"

I'm thrilled the scissors are gone, but also pleased that for once LJ listened to users saying "Hate! Get rid of this evil new thing!" and they actually did. It's a miracle!

Every post you make that references Peoria, I misread it as Peony and lovely images of flowers pop in my head.

[halfshellvenus]

Hahahaha! If only it were!

Peoria is a typical Midwestern American town, bigger than some, though it has some actual level changes and is not completely flat!

When you drive out of there, though... cornfields, soyfields, and a flatly flat flatness that is soul-killing if you come from a place with hills and mountains, as I do. :D

Hi!
I just stumbled across 2 parts of your post. 1) The Walking Dead. Same as you, I have just watched season and second you completely, gross but somehow fascinating. Only that they did the T-Bag thingie with the handcuffs was a bit cheap IMO.
2) Bush. Oh, I loved Bush back in the days, especially 'Letting the Cables sleep' :) They had one or two other ballads, maybe you meant 'Inflatable'?

[halfshellvenus]

Hi!

I've only seen S1 of The Walking Dead, and now I want to watch S2. I'll probably have to download it, since it's far from DVD-ready.

maybe you meant 'Inflatable'?
I haven't heard any other songs by them that sound like 'Letting the Cables Sleep', so I'll try that one via download! Thanks so much for the tip!
