No, he going to study in Nijmengen. ...
He'll feel right in place there, as a socialist - phaps the most leftwing city in the country.
Ooh, it's a really strange adventure which starts off with our hero going off to capture Evil's pet (and that probably wont make any sense to you unless I write the book)
The stories I create very rarely make it into my dreams. The same cannot be said in the reverse.
You should, fortune. You know that I think that one of the worst things to do is to waste talent, and if you did, it would be a great loss. Heaven knows what the world would be like if Das Kapital or Othello had not been written.
I'll write it one day. Which reminds me, I really should dig up my notes on that dream so I can file them away properly.
I have never agreed with Freud, even when most other people seemed to back in my university days. Most of my dreams involve segments with people from the past and the odd visual that I weave, as I think most everyone does, into a storyline as the bits wend their way out of my brain in rem periods. M'self, I think it is brain reorganization going on, a little bit of housecleaning, though some dreams recur for a while.
From time to time new people show up in them, but mostly the dreams are fleshed with people from twenty or more years ago. (I noticed this pattern
a long time ago, not just in my progressing age.) My mother, for heaven's sake, for heaven's sake being a phrase she would use. My mother died when I was 38, years ago, as I am 62 now, though I am young to myself.
My ex is showing up and not antagonistically but also not romantically (I didn't dream of him much the years we were married, though a little bit), and most pleasantly one of my lovers from my interesting to me past, what a fine and sexy man, I'm glad he's back on my mind screen. Sometimes my childhood playmates are in the background while I try to get somewhere in downtown Chicago, which I was last in a really long time ago. This is all mixed with current concerns, as my sleeping overview self seems to know what I know.
I am a bit worried, I say mostly kidding, since I visualized a very flat tire a couple of nights ago...
This is one of those special threads, one with a tangent from a tangent growing longer than the original, a pocket within a pocket, or bag in a bag.
Yikes, I am almost 3 and a half times Rick's age. Whee!
I think Rick holds his own, and agree he'll do well.
well ive seen a picture of you in the a2k gallery osso and i wouldnt believe you were over 25
hmm i havent really dreamed of a2k in my dreams
if youve been here for years drom and you spent so much time here im not surprised you dream of it ..i probably would to and if youve met fellow a2kers in your dreams well then on one level you just might have for real....in the dream that is
you know they say their is a dream level an astral level in this level we can all meet in our dreams bodies as all our minds overlap..
drom i do have some wierd dreams too
fortunes story rings bells to me..
maybe the only nightmare i ever had was where i had this recurring dream where things big green dragon a bit like godzilla would come to get me...and chase me all over...
is always wake up terrified
but one night i decided to take control of the dream, i dont know what possessed me i was only 6-7 at the time but i went back to the dream and i gave myself all these powers and i beat up that big bad dragon and defeated it
you know since then i havent had a nightmare....
And I would have thought the 8 year-old smarter than that.
Go figure -- Geez!
I've only been here for a while, and only been active for shorter than that.. but I do spend quite a lot of time here every day, and so the people here must be on my mind.
By the way, I agree exactly with what you have said, Osso; many people are indeed preoccupied with sex, but not everything boils down to that... I'm more into Jung's ideas, though I feel that dreams are mostly like this: what goes into our heads is like freshly-squeezed orange juice going into a funnel. The dreams are the dregs that stick to the side. Often, they have some sort of significance: but the significance is usuallly found in why they stuck to the side, not in what they mean...
what happened that led to their being a flat tyre?
that analogy is all too much for me
i prefer just to think that the mind is an electrical field and dreams are sparks within this and sometimes sparks can meet one another...
That's a cool analogy, Col. So, the people of whom you post here never end up in your dreams? You're lucky -- I have lots and lots of sparks, I guess, and lots of sub-sparks... as nearly everything ends up being dreamt of...
not for me yet mate...although there is time yet...and im sure eventually they will start creeping in...
i was in the maldives the other week in a dream
was odd really cos ive never been before in real life but in the dream i knew id been there before...
freaky
hehe and i know you have lots of sparks drom.. your a light shining in the darkness
. Yeah, creating little stories is so much more interesting as a way of punctuating reality than most of what TV and the like offer. The weird thing is that I hardly, if ever, think of the things that end up in my dreams, and it's been like that since I was young... that's why I hardly ever agree with Freud.
