Sweeping, consuming...

[wolven7]

Dreamed of a girl who was hunted and haunted across the country, hiding from something that kept talking to her through light on windows, whispers in her head, shadows on the handholds on busses. Everywhere she went, it followed her, telling her to tell people what was coming, that if they accepted it, and came to it, it would go a lot easier, and that it would be a wonderful, pleasant time. She got to her friends' apartment, telling them what was going on, and the Thing was rising through the building, sweeping from face to face, and it could only get you, if you looked in the eyes of the infected. As she was telling them, a man broke in through the front door, and she could hear the thing speaking through his voice, repeating the same re-assuring phrases, over and over, as the guy grabbed each one, in turn, and forced them to look into his eyes. As they were consumed, they screamed with a mixture of horror and euphoria, and as he grabbed the girl, I woke up.

Other dreams, after I got back to sleep, included reading comics, in a large house on a lake, and trying to explain one of the jokes to people on the dock, including lord_of_smoking, comorbid and his new girlfriend, [as well as]Warren Ellis, some stoats, otters, a few bunnies,and some ducklings and ducks, all moving around on or inbetween the slats of this very large deck/dock. comorbid's girlfriend kept talking to him about how, now that they were together, he had to try to get on Warren's friends list, otherwise it would just be awkward that she was there, and he wasn't.

Strange.

As someone with a vested interest, I feelI should ask: What do your dreams mean to you, today?

My dreams have been frightening things I can't remember, lately.

Also, I kept reading that as though comorbid's new girlfriend was Warren Ellis.

*shudder* No... No she wasn't.

I should correct my syntax, there...

And what are the emotions with which you wake up, aside from frightened?

[thenowhere.livejournal.com]

Desperate.
Weak.
Exhausted.
Confused.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Hm. How long? Do you think it's a stress thing, or a specific problem?

[thenowhere.livejournal.com]

No flippin clue. It's seemed to be a lot more lately than I'd ever noticed before, though.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Starting within the last month or so?

[thenowhere.livejournal.com]

Hm.
Yeah, perhaps a wee bit longer, but not much more.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Strange. See if it stops, tonight.

[thenowhere.livejournal.com]

*strange* dreams last night.
Not frightening.
Just *weird*
Utterly foreign, like e.e.cummings, picasso, dali and escher all took fingerpaints and the OED, made dreams, translated them through babelfish into Greek, then French, then English again.
Not literally, mind you, just... it was like it wasn't even *mine* it was that weird.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

That sounds really neat, actually...

[thenowhere.livejournal.com]

Interesting, but quite baffling.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. But at least not scary and upsetting. :)

well given that i dreamed that our downstairs neighbors were also Quagmire from Family Guy and that they were so stupid that they lit their kitchen on fire and then refused to call the firetruck because they did not want to authorities to find what was in their apartment...

and then ryam and i got in trouble for not evacuating when we were rescued later by the firemen and police. and we said "we couldnt leave because we had no exit to get out of here, everything was on fire." and they said, "that's too bad because we're blaiming the downstairs fire on you."

i think my dreams mean i'm pissed off with my neighbors for being asshats and that i worry that they will do something stupid that i'll get into trouble for.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Well, that's not likely. They may do something stupid, yeah, but there are limits to the sphere of knowledge. You can't be expected to know things about people who do not, in fact, live in your house.

It depends. Sometimes its whats going on, other times its what I have put aside. Then there are the dreams where things tell me that I am not welcome and they try to push me out. I push back.

Usually my dreams are of me sitting in a clearing of a rose garden that has grown slightly wild, with jasmine running through out. (not literally running as in frolicking or amok but interspersed through out the garden.) The garden is off the side of a house on a cliff that over looks the ocean. If I am here the dreams are peaceful.

Those sound nice.

Thanks for the Oingo Boingo today. Made my drive home much better *wink*

[wolven.livejournal.com]

.... Buh?

[mirrorofagirl.livejournal.com]

You didn't email 99x and ask for Danny Elfman? I figured it had to be you.. I swear they said your name when they read the request. They went on and on about how cool it must be to have the name Damian at Halloween.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Huh. No I didn't, but I think that's pretty awesome, and I'll still take it. :)

[spiritualmonkey.livejournal.com]

I can't say as I'm getting any clear message from my dreams, other than "Yup, still here. Care for a non sequitur?"

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Not a bad message, all told.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I love my dreams, and they teach me a great many things. :)

[unknownbinaries.livejournal.com]

Possibly-shit, probably-far more than they should with the blow off I'm getting from that quarter.

That's when I remember them.

I want a stoat. ^_^

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Stoats would be...interesting to have around, yes...
