i had a dream this morning right before i woke up (indeed, the dream woke me up) that i had commented on an entry by zcat_abroad, and moments later received a mail reporting that anonymous had replied to my comment. i returned to the journal where, the first thing i noticed about the

I'm sure I must have had a much more interesting dream at some point during the night. Pity the one I remembered involved an imaginary hyper-critical anonymous Peanuts lover.

Smiling at the Yes lyrics in the subject line. I was caught up in Caesar's show myself on Friday and singing along with you on FB, then realized if you hadn't continued listening past "All Good People," you'd have no idea why I typed what I did.

Oh, woe. I seem to be making mountains out of molehills at every turn this week. I think I need a vacation from myself lol.

First time I read through that - for some reason - I thought it was really something that happened. I was about to find out where that was so I could go whoop some a$$ ... then I re-read it and realized it was a dream. Good grief can I be goofy sometimes!

Ha! No, I'm pretty sure it was just a subconscious "note to self." I'm not really sure where the Peanuts icon came from though, unless my gray matter was making a "peanut gallery" connection. Dreams are so weird. Thanks for wanting to whip it into shape though. ;)

Wow! I know we've been communicating a lot recently, but to actually figure in your dream - that's kinda cool! Perhaps you'd also subconsiously noticed the rise in anonymous comments on my posts, as my family have been reading. (And then picking up my overly-sensitive feeling of them criticising me?)

I'm trying to figure out how to wean them off my journal now - lots of f-locked posts coming up. Actually, given that I'm back home, with dial-up, and having to kick zcatcurious off the 'puter to connect to the interner, there will probably be fewer posts.

It is very strange the things the subconscious picks up during the day and then dishes out at night, indeed. I hadn't even thought about it until you mentioned it, but I did notice anonymous comments on some of your entries. A dream-anomaly I didn't notice until just now, though, is that anonymous posters don't have userpics, so maybe my subconscious really did relate the Peanuts comic strip to "the peanut gallery."

A lack of posts probably will wean your family off quickly. Best of luck with that lol.
