Re: Post Your Dream
ashi and Ptah were in my dream. Ptah was in the beginning of the dream and I dunno what we were talking about but I do remember we were laughing. ashi was with me later on a bus, where a cop offered to take us out to dinner and she rolled her eyes. xD
Re: Post Your Dream
Patch-prompted wild dream excerpt:
My tonsils or some other imaginary new body part in my throat had split in half (the halves were still joined together) and I could open my mouth and see them kind of flopping around and occasionally blocking my esophagus.
I took a saw and sawed out a section of my neck so that I could examine them more clearly.
My dream logic was thus:
Will my head just plop down onto the next section of neck that I didn’t remove? No, because my spine is still intact.
I did not take time to consider breathing, and it wasn’t an issue.
Let’s test eating. I can still swallow food but it’s much harder because a substantial part of my musculature is missing now and the bolus is weaker/ harder to move down into my stomach.
Why didn’t I just bleed to death? Let’s look in a mirror. Oh I see, my arteries moved over and were not sawn through. I just barely nicked one, I can see the tiniest bit of blood welling up, just there.

The same.starjots wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 9:04 amI used to have similar recurring dreams, except I was crossing a road. I saw the car coming, had plenty of time to walk across, but the further I got into the street the harder it got to move, like I was in quick sand or something, until all I could to was struggle to move at all. And of course, the car just kept coming.
Another common dream in the past was signing up for a university class and then forgetting all about it until finals day, followed by a desperate search for where the damn class was meeting so I could take the test. I think this is a pretty common dream for many people.
I don't remember dreams so much any more, except sometimes I get a passing relief that someone is still alive that I dreamt had died.
But I can recall five recurring dream archetypes from when I was younger:
- At home in the countryside, escaping out my bedroom window to get away from something or someone, but as I escape, the wind picks up and I cannot go further. I'm just running on the spot waiting to find out what catches up with me.
- Variants on the exam or class thing, where I turn up and don't know jack shit.
- Falling dreams. I read at some point that these are common, and relate to your neck muscles relaxing. Could be bullshit.
- Naked dreams, like I need to do public speaking or something and I'm naked.
- Sexy dreams, though I never recall having had an actual wet dream ever.
I'm pretty happy to not remember my dreams so much any more.

I am trying to understand why in God's name I've woken up for the second night in a row now with the same New Kids On The Block song ringing in my ears as if it was really playing.

Re: Post Your Dream
I dreamt I put some little furry pet in a rhinoceros cage without realizing it and the rhino ate it. I told Spanky and Alfalfa that I made a big mistake buying the rhino. I led Spanky to it. While looking at it, I released a bird where some other predator got it. I left the building I was in at night and wondered what my next step would be.

Re: Post Your Dream
I swear this time I woke up and almost didn't notice the song fading in my ears, like I was just used to it. But when I did, I was like, "Seriously?!"MoneyJungle wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 1:11 amI don’t know that song and there’s no fucking way I’m looking it up based on it’s commandeering of your subconsciousMadrigal wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 1:40 amWorse, it's Please Don't Go Girl.MoneyJungle wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 12:36 amKeep hangin’ tough and just take things step step by step.

And of course you know the song, you just don't know that you know.
