Good Morning! What did you dream about?

[Inchworm]

I dreamed there was a pot of stew that never ended

We would add stuff to it each day. The stew was on an old woodburning cookstove.

We were in about 13th(ish) century Scotland wearing kilts, and we were housed in a barracks-type house with several other families. It was each family's responsibility to keep the stew from becomming empty.

Oddly, I was working as an Ironworker setting steel.

:donut:

1. I don't recall exactly, but it was some kind of detective story.

I don't even remember who I was in the dream, but I think it was a Sherlock Holmes era thing, with a few anachronistic elements.

[Inchworm]

2. Maybe you were looking for Jack the Ripper

:D



:hi:

[DarkTirade]

3. Nah, nothing that serious.

And I don't smoke opium. :P

4. I entered a dance contest

A couples thing, like Dancing with the Stars, but there were two couples (us and another couple) and two single competitors doing modern dance. I bought new shoes for the occasion--black with white stitching. They were ugly, but for some reason I thought they looked good.

It was a two-part contest--first the other couple performed, then one of the solo dancers, and then there was an intermission with a buffet dinner on the stage. I told my partner we had the win--all we had to do was look more animated (in our expression) than the other couple.

The dinner intermission was long, so I went home for a while. I still lived with my parents. Then I decided to walk to a store in a bad part of town, and a guy started harassing me on the street, so I called my mom to pick me up, but for some reason she wouldn't. And by then it was time to go back to the contest--I knew if we were late it'd be considered a forfeit, so I started to panic a little. Then I woke up.

Now I am having lots of coffee. :D

[Inchworm]

5. I bet you would have won

:)

Nice detail. Love it.

I'm on the mass quanities of coffee, too.

:hi:

[MorningGlow]

9. Thanks!

:hi:

I do have a bit o' theater in my background (just a lil' bit...okay a whole lot ;) ) but dance was never my strong suit.

Forgot to mention--in the dream, when I was walking around in the bad part of town, I only walked on the sidewalk some of the time--the rest of the time I was going through tiny alleys and up over people's porches and through old factories and out the windows, squeezing between metal bars. I have no idea what THAT means...!

More coffee (blueberry flavored today)...

[Inchworm]

11. hehe

I forgot to mention the weirdnedd of Ironworking in a kilt. Following someone else up a ladder was quite the view :rofl:

:D

[MorningGlow]

21. ROLF!

I'll bet!

I was going to post upthread--sounds like a past life memory. I did a regression once and found out I was a tanner in a sort of medieval walled town. I was a man, had a fat wife and many kids, and lived above the shop.

6. I dreamt I ran away from home to become a pirate

Cut off all my hair to pass as a boy - I was a teen with long black hair in the dream - and went off in search of my sweetheart who'd been kidnapped by pirates. Also to avoid marrying a really despicable rich man my parents had picked.

I've never had long black hair in my life,

There's either a great ballad or a really lousy kid's movie here.

[Inchworm]

7. I'll imagine it as a great ballad

Sounds like fun to be in too!

:hi:

[kentauros]

8. I only know a little bit of "V for Vendetta" was in there

as I watched that for the first time all the way through last night :)

"Ideas are bulletproof!"

[Inchworm]

12. Loved that movie

It is almost time for the poem :D

Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gun powder treason and plot.
I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.

:hi:

[FloridaJudy]

19. Love that flick!

I bought for seven bucks at Beall's, and the little old Southern lady behind me said "Oh honey, that is a great movie!"

After I watched it, I had a completely different opinion of little old Southern ladies.

[kentauros]

26. Maybe I should buy a copy in the store (instead of downloading as I did)

and see if I can garner that kind of reaction, too ;)

By the way, if you want to attempt to control the content of your dreams, try this site:

It does work, too :)

[kentauros]

24. I need to watch it a few more times

before I can quote the longer lines. Plus, I don't always catch what's being said because of the British accents. Hugo Weaving is a brilliant actor, strong Australian accent or not :)

I think it's an appropriate movie to watch this political season, too ;)

10. Night before last I had that recurring dream. I was taking several college classes.

In one class, I was woefully behind. I tried to pep-talk myself that I could read the text relentlessly and catch up even though I was way behind.

[Inchworm]

13. Cram reading can be difficult

;)

G'morning!

:hi:

[TZ]

14. I don't remember last night...

But the night before I was at a party and had a sit down chit chat with...Obama..Seemed like a pretty interesting guy....:D

[Inchworm]

15. Coolio!

You remember what you discussed? lol

Inquiring minds...

:hi:

[TZ]

16. I think we discussed his upbringing to tell you the truth..

It was more like a friend chit chat than a "what are you gonna do as President" chit chat...

17. My little buddy sleeping with me...

20. I actually had a nightmare.

I was in our mobile home, listening to tornado sirens going off all around. Everything outside was that scary shade of bruised green that happens in the midst of a really bad storm, and I was here alone with my little boy. The only shelter I could think of to get to was the McMansion house on the other side of the hill from us--it's enormous, and they have a basement door that we can see from our porch.

For some reason I couldn't find my shoes, or his, so we were scrambling down the wooded hill barefoot, getting bloody from rocks and sticks, and being pelted with hailstones, trying to make it to this basement door. But when we got there, the door was locked. I beat on it and tried to kick it in, but it wouldn't open, and no matter how loudly I screamed for help, the roar of the storm kept drowning me out. We couldn't get up the hill to the top of the house, because the grass and mud were too slick--we just kept sliding back down. I could see the people who lived in the McMansion through a window, but they couldn't seem to see or hear *me*.

The last thing I remember is crouching down at the doorway of this McMansion, trying to cover my son and protect him, while watching helplessly as an *enormous* tornado got closer and closer to us.

:cry:

22. My neck hurting... and cats...

that's all I remember. Weird, I know. :crazy:

[MilesColtrane]

23. In my dream I was snuggling with a married co-worker.

We've always been friendly to each other, but last week I thought there was a "moment' between us. I guess that led to this (nonsexual) dream.

Later, in the dream, we were getting in a car at night when we heard a cat screaming. I looked down the road and saw a black cat coming towards us, but it was walking upright, on it's hind feet. It was some kind of evil spirit.

Real spooky, Halloween type stuff, hunh?

Maybe just my subconscious telling me to stay away from her?

25. X-Rated

And it was nice......:woohoo: :hi:
