#30th Symposium Dreams
Dreams can be the awake type or the sleep type. They can also be day dreams, pipe dreams, lucid dreams, nightmares, recurring, prophetic, life changing, signal, epic, progressive, sexual or mutual. Oh what a coincidence, I put sexual and mutual next to each other!
I used to get loads of dreams on my sleep, but not these days. I only have sleep dreams rarely and also when I realize what the time is on most nights, guzzle my last glass of scotch and go straight to bed. Those times I get some real weird ones, or nightmares, even with the ex. So after thinking long and hard about it, I stopped doing that. The going straight to bed I mean, of course! I stay up for another 10 minutes after the last scotch and then crash!
I sleep like a log and often experience a sudden muscle contraction (called hypnic myoclonia) as I feel the "falling" on sleep's NREM stage 1. This is when I punch you in the face, or kick you, totally unwillingly, ( unless you deserve it ) and then wonder why you try to suffocate me with the pillow, especially as you just said how much you liked me and kissed me good night, a minute ago! I can not seem to remember the hypnic myoclonia explanation as I am gasping for air. I only learned about the name today, from mother google! I had this forever. Just never bothered to see if it had a name, and I thought it made me so rare! Mother google also says "intense dreaming occurs during REM sleep as a result of heightened brain activity" REM stands for rapid eye movement, and is the other period of sleep, following the Non REM period and it's four stages", which together make up the sleep cycle. 4 stages of NREM, and REM, repeated many times during our sleep time. I learn something new every day!
Most of my dreams are the "awake" type.
When I see a pretty woman. I dream I am her man, how she smells and tastes, sleeping and waking up with her, how she feels when I am inside her, how lucky my friends would think I was, and those nice thoughts are soon replaced by thoughts of the hair, her hair all around the house, everywhere, from the shower to the butter dish in the fridge. Her funny moods every now and then, when she says everything is "fine". Her 168 jars, tubes and tubs of moisturizers, lotions, potions, creams and ointments occupying most of the bathroom, on every possible space, including the one inch wide window ledge and some of the floor. Her shoes, all 87 pairs, and I thought I was the one with the shoe fetish!
A fast car. I dream about me been the driver, and beating the last person who beaten me at the traffic light come F1 kind of start. I can only remember the last one, the most recent, as they all beat me with my snail pace 1.6 little Ford! No warp drive on this one. I guess I should of got a Ferrari if I wanted to be boy racer! Then I think of how many speeding tickets I would of accumulated with the Ferrari, and feel kind of thankful I drive an old banger. Even our motorways have a 70 miles per hour limit on them. That's just 5 miles higher than a Ferrari still on 2nd gear, no?
A nice house in town. Steps and columns at the front, four floors high, and a gym at the basement! I dream of been the owner, the one who can afford to live there, the good earner. Enjoy the amenities of my little palace, while I am raking in thousands every week! Then I remind my self that the best houses in town are build with love and not money. Wealthy people can have exactly the same problems others have, or even worse. And they can be equally nasty as well. It's just seems more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.
A boat, when on holiday in Greece. I mean those grand vessels you see moored out, 30 or 40 meters length, with cabins for guests, crew, the lot. Still divided and never know if I prefer the schooner types, with the sails, the busy deck areas, and all the ropes hanging, or those shiny white motor boats with the tinted windows and helipad! Both send me day dreaming. Been a host or guest. And then....and then there is nothing against that, in my mind, nothing to help me snap out of that dream! So, the boat ones are long time day dreams, lasting for weeks after returning to reality...
The moving back to live in Greece in a decade or so, is also another day dream of mine, and although far away, seems the most likely to achieve, as far as day dreams go. There is not even a plan yet, just the idea...
A huge nice job. Something long term, and located somewhere nice, in town or out. I dream how it could be, steady wages for a couple of years. The joy of driving by, years later thinking, I helped to build that. All the peace of mind. Then I see the slaves coming out of them. I was working on one recently, as a self employed contractor. My colleagues were all "employees" of the company, having their rent, transport to site by bus, and food paid by the company. On top of wages! Nice I hear you say! Not really. Wages.....3 pounds per hour. Taxable! WTF? I was making in less than two hours what they got on a day! And I thought slavery was long dead! They live 10 or more people in 3-4 bedroom homes. The food allowance is just that, a tenner a day. And always under the threat that if you put a tiny step wrong, you end up on the street and with no job! I was there as an independent contractor but hated seeing all this slavery going on. I am surprised there are people who accept to do it, to be slaves. Not for me, at all, and never ever!
A bird flying. Makes me dream and wonder how it could be if I could fly. And shit all over those white cars! The only real life flying I know is from a diving rock, 4-5 metres above the sea, and it's always downward! I know nothing about white cars, and the customized marks birds put on them. Is this some sort of art? Ass-emblage art? The inventiveness of placing a flying shit from high up, right in the middle of a windscreen amuses me!
A asleep on a sunny patch. When I see that I think why do we use the expression "it's a dog's life" as a somehow detrimental term? They have sex with anyone, anywhere, sleep anywhere, what's so bad about all that? I will not even go on about their ability to lick their own balls! I like my balls but always try to get a friend for the licks, and I do not dream of a dogs life. The dogs house always sounded a scary place.
...as I drive my Ferrari, returning to my palatial home and my basement gym to pull some weights, I see a pretty woman, think of pulling her legs over my shoulders, on the top deck of the schooner, what a nice slave she would be all tied up, as we fly over the waves of the Aegean, and on to cloud nine, with all her help with the ball licking...
I hear the driver behind me hooting, informing me I been standing still on the green light, in my 1.6 Ford with no warp drive, caught day dreaming again, and need to drive off! I think of my last day dream and smile as I drive on for ten seconds and stop again. I see the guy behind me on my mirror, looking at me, wondering why I think a mile long traffic jam in front of us is funny! He is confused and a mile long jam will help him, and I have a mile more of day dreaming to come...
I also have many of the other types of dream I mentioned in the beginning, serious or not, but this is the "lite" version of my take on dreams. Can not do philosophical, deep, or thoughtful all the time!
And some dream jokes, what else?
----------
Man says to wife 'I had a wet dream about you last night, I dreamt you got run over by a bus and I pissed myself laughing'.
----------
Follow your dreams. Except the one where you're naked in church.
----------
I would tell you about my dream involving a Lion, a Witch and a Wardrobe, but it’s Narnia business.
----------
I had the worst nightmare last night, it didn't scare me at all.
----------
After she woke up, a woman told her husband, "I just dreamt that you gave me a pearl necklace for our anniversary. What do you think it means?"
"You'll know tonight." he said.
That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife.
Delighted, she opened it to find a book entitled "The Meaning of Dreams."
----------
Andy said, "Doc, I had the worst dream of my life last night. I dreamt I was with twelve of the most beautiful girls in the world. Blonds, brunettes, redheads, all dancing in a row."
The psychiatrist replied, "Hold it, Andy. That doesn't sound so terrible."
"Oh yeah?" said Andy, "In the dream, I was the third girl from the end."

Dreams really are strange things. . You never know what it might be about.
Now day-dreams are different. . Often you cause them to happen. . Usually without the bummer endings yours did though... .
And love the jokes, as usual...

Aww, thanx pocogato. Google is "the mother" as she knows more of ourselves than some of our own mums! As for Andy, what a nightmare he had! Look me up tonite, I will be day dreaming at night, playing knock down ginger at 10 Downing street, and evading arrest!

Does it work cuddly? Sounds a great idea if it works. So some gourmet cat food for kittens, and a ball with bells, happy thoughts for any kitten! And the dream? I guess a pair of balls, somewhere along, at least, with bells or not!

Oh yes goodatpoetry, strange things indeed. Apparently interconnected with the deep ends of our minds, the fears, the hopes, the lot! The window, or another window to the soul, for those who can accurately interpret them! The ones at traffic usually end bad. Other times, at the park, by the water, on the tube, not so bad.

I think day dreams are the best wicked. Where you can make the beginning middle and end, just as you like it. Now if you have to do it at 70 miles an hour, you just gotta do it faster!

Thanx tickles4us. I can guess a couple of your day dreams! On one you are up on a hill putting the revolution flag up, after your troops have taken it back from the establishment....
On another one you are the governor of a jail....a jail for ex presidents from around the world, oh revenge is sweet indeed!
