I had one of those horrible tooth-loss dreams last night. This was the worst one I've ever had. In it, I was talking to Greg and Jennifer from Rosary Army (I don't know why I would be talking to them; I'm sure such a conversation would be extremely awkward). I would try to talk, and my broken teeth would get in the way. At first it was just the ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning from this crazy dream about my Mammaw. In my dream, she had not died in 2005 as in real life. Somehow, she had left the nursing home and joined a group of explorers/vacationers who were going to colonize Mars or the moon or Venus or something. At some point, my brain settled on the idea that they were living on a meteor of ( Read more... )

I had a dream last night about my mom. I only have the vaguest sense of it, so I don't know what happened in the dream. However, I'm pretty sure it was a happy dream, with hugging.

Most of this is from an email I wrote to Apeliotes after I woke up on Sunday ( Read more... )

I had one of those intense, cinematic dreams last night. I was David Sedaris (!?), and I was on a mission to prevent one of my friends from being hanged. The friend was another This American Life contributor, as I recall, but I don't remember which one. He was slated for death by hanging, but every time they'd go to hang him, I'd be in the ( Read more... )

I had this horrifying dream last night where I was with a friend, trying to get through some obstacle with the help of another, more knowledgeable friend. The knowledgeable friend told us that to complete the obstacle, we had to kill these baby monkeys for some reason so that we could use their bodies. The baby monkeys were tiny, tiny, tiny-- ( Read more... )

Last night, I fell asleep thinking about my old friend, Contraception Guilt. I had a nice couple of years free from him while we left ourselves open to conceiving Penelope, and then while I was pregnant. And now, the time has come to work on the child we have for some period of time without shattering my breast milk supply with a pregnancy and ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is my Connecticut state licensing exam. I have to pass this to work in this new job. It doesn't seem like it's hard, but it does seem kind of complicated. I've been studying... but I should be studying now. I will feel like such an ass if I fail--which seems like a possibility, because other people in my office have failed. You can ( Read more... )

Another Mom dream. I don't have one for months, and then I have two in the space of a week. In this one, I was visiting the South for a surprise birthday party for Missy. I baked a cake (which someone, I think it was Blair in the dream, mysteriously mutilated by cutting off all the outsides, all the surfaces with frosting, which kind of pissed ( Read more... )

I had a dream about my mom last night. I haven't had one in a while, and the three I've had before were all bizarre, where she was undead or a ghost. In this one, she was definitely just a memory. Someone in the dream sent me a video he'd taken of me on an airplane (the person sending the video was someone I barely knew through people on LJ, and ( Read more... )
