Last night I dreamt I needed important surgery of some kind. It was urgent, it needed doing within the next couple days.

Last night I dreamt I was at a big outdoor concert festival like Coachella and a guy asked me to watch an ant he was fighting while he used a port-o-potty.

This was 6:30am, it's a good thing I'm still on Comic Con ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamt I had a very friendly pet iguana--friendlier than the one in Terminator (I wonder what happened to that iguana). I lived in a larger apartment than I live in now and there were several people living with me who had permanent, constantly bleeding injuries they were not conscious of due to an elaborate mass hallucination woven by ( Read more... )

I dreamt last night I was watching the première of True Detective's second season and it ended up being a retelling of the first season from the perspective of woman working at dispatch at the police station.
