Dream: It's a bird! It's plane! It's... an eyeball!

I dreamed that in a superhero world, one of the caped crusaders had a head completely covered in eyeballs - layers of them, so that his head was about the size of a watermelon and appeared to be entirely made up of eyeballs. His superpower was that he could send his eyeballs, individually or in a swarm, to fly through the air after bad guys and

I haven't been recording most of my dreams lately because they've been endless iterations of:

- Forgot to turn in paper.

- Forgot to study for test.

- Forgot to put on clothes.

I don't ever get to the point and laugh part either. My naked in public dreams focus on the horror of the forgot-to-get-dressed realization, and on my baffled, guilty, horrified thought process as I try to figure out how the hell I could have forgotten something so fundamental.

There is truly nothing new under the sun.

Night before last I had a dream in which I owned three severed heads (no idea whose). Toby had given the third one to me because, as I seemed to like the first two, he thought it was a nice idea. It veered into nightmare territory when I started thinking about what I'd do if someone discovered these heads, and how I should get rid of them in a way that nobody would find them. because if I was caught with them, the cops would assume I'd murdered the people. At one point the dream veered off in another direction, when I asked a friend of mine to marry me and he agreed. I eventually "woke" out of that one, realized it was a dream, and was grateful that no, I was marrying Toby after all. But then I realized I still hadn't got rid of the severed heads and it went back into fear and panic again. Waking up for real was a relief.

I have no idea why the idea of severed heads wasn't enough to make it nightmare territory; it took the threat of discovery to make it that.

I like how after that you were still relieved to be marrying him :)

Well, y'know, he meant well! (I don't think he'd killed the previous owner of the head - we were staying at my grandparents' old house and there happened to be a dead guy in the other guest bedroom so he thought I might like the head!)

Come on, he gave her a sweet, thoughtful gift based on her observed preferences. What's not to love? ;)

His superpower was that he could send his eyeballs, individually or in a swarm, to fly through the air after bad guys and bang into them, with the same force as if he'd picked up his eyeball and thrown it at them. Unsurprisingly, supervillains did not find this to be a strong deterrent.

I think you should see if he can get a guest spot on Axe Cop.
