LA REINE
last night i dreamed i was at haggen trying to buy milk and it was between 6 and 9 dollares per gallon which i thought was awfully steep but i couldn't quite remember what it usually cost. great intellectual one, eh? let me analyze is for you: i'm almost out of milk.
Liz Pearson
Which god? I wonder if it ever occurs to anyone that just possibly, we all believe in the same god, but that each religion is each individual's way of showing their faith. I.e, Muslims, Islams, Jews, Christians all believe in the same God, we just show it in different ways. How many Gods do you thijnk there are, anyway?
LA REINE
no way! someone else with the same religious philosophy i've tried to explain to people for years. so it's not just me.
FRuG
Well, we could be like the greeks and romans and have many gods.
John
I dreamed the Beatles were in a round raft being sucked into a whirlpool. John turned to Paul and said, "I love you." But at the last moment, a team of coastguard people in their own round raft swept under the Beatles' raft and flushed it out of the whirlpool.
Then I flashed back to the Coastguard Whirlpool Training, where the instructor said, "A whirlpool is nothing to be afraid of. In this course, you will learn how to enter a whirlpool, extricate its captives, and exit the whirlpool."
Then I was by a lake at night. A parade of children was about to begin. A plane crashed in the middle of the lake, and children in costumes walked on water along the shoreline. An electric Metro bus followed up behind them, driving on the water.
Finally, I was at the end of the parade route with my mother. The speaker said something about whirlpools. I asked Mom what they were talking about. "Whirlpool safety," she said. I showed her the shirt I had made: A raft with red ribbons pinned to it, and a message about whirlpool safety.
WHITE RAVEN
i sm my own god........ or at least until i can find one that'll rve me better!!!!!
Grendel
Liz, I'm a polytheist, not a monotheist. I don't believe in just one god so it would be quite difficult for me to think that we are all worshipping the same god under different names.
My gods are the old Germanic gods from Norse and Anglo-Saxon mythology.
Grendel
Kinda kills that whole ecunumical line of thought, doesn't it?
John
I also dreamed that the lead singer of Green Day was hanging out at my house.
John
I had many dreams last night, but te computer is not by my bed anymore, so I lost some of them.
I do remember one memorable item, though.
Many years ago, I wrote a BBS on the Commodore 64. The BBS ran successfully for many years, even after I had moved away. In my dream, I returned to check up on it. Do you know how I stored messages? I had this plastic tube running from the computer into a tank of water. The data was "saved" in this tank.
White Raven
John, you have VERY STRANGE dreams...
OJ's Afro
I had horrible dreams last night.
John
Last night I dreamed about John Lennon. But I can't remember any more than that.
ZooKeeper
I had horrible dreams last night too. An unending parade of nightmares interspersed with an unknown voice telling me I had to go outside. now.
go figure.
JayDee
weird ones about driving stolen trucks to do Citadel SS on Queen Anne Hill
what-else that happened in that dream is too erotic for this room...
JayDee
had a rap with JC at a church in Bellevue...asked him mention this
car-tab bullshit to The Man next time He saw Him...
He said "cool, will-do"
so I began walking to Queen Anne from Bellevue...
John
Last night I dreamed that the Rolling Stones played at my high school, and I sang with Mick.
This is the fourth dream about rock-and-roll stars this week. Something is seriously kooky with me lately.
Lord Vader
I know I had some wierd dreams last night, but that's about all I remember... Hmm...?
John
I dreamed I lived in a small, four-bedroom duplex in Bellevue with George, my sister, and Rich Davies. The house "bordered" the "largest convention center in 500 miles". It also bordered a trailer park, and a waterway. As I watched, a utilitarian boat which read "PARKING" went out of control and rammed a sailboat. It then pinned four police officers to a wall. One said, "Let go of me, John. You have live insurance. Then they all went into the swirling water, and disappeared."
Elisabeth Perrin
I dreamed I went to a nightclub run by Nazis. They had a HUGE parking lot, and a few minutes before they closed they went out and put a number on all the cars. The number was how many people that car could hold as youleft the parking lot. One Nazi was in a real bad mood and kept putting zeros on all the cars he passed. When I got to my car, a station wagon, this cute blonde girl had just put a big six on it. I had a few other people with me, but we started to talk to the girl. She was sitting in the car with us and gave su the idea she didn't really like working with the Nazis so I drove out of the parking lot and she just chatted away like she totally knew us.
Bad things happened to people if there wasn't enough room in a car to take them.
John Shannon
I dreamed I was watching a live musical number performed by the Chicago Tourism Board.
Pyromania
I dreamed, a few nights ago, that I was humming a tune to myself while making an odd, symmetrical design on my computer screen. It was somewhat fuzzy, though...
About an hour and a half ago, I was humming to myself the tune for the Thraddash (soundcard muzak), and making a neat-yet-ugly face for people to run across while the computer played against itself in Populous. Symmetrical face, as it happened.
This is really weird. I have these dreams all the time, and then stuff happens just like the dream. Now, if it was only something useful... ;}
Freejack
and i still cannot recall any dreams...
LA REINE
i had a bunch of incredibly twisted dreams last night. having to kill ghosts living in the vacuum cleaner. and that was one of the most normal ones.
JayDee
bogus, d00d
John
This evening I had a nightmare that this evening happened *again*, roughly as it had happened before. The dream taught me just how crazy this day was. I feel spiritually beaten up from it.
Blain Nelson
[[John]] because days and nightmares like those stink.
John
I dreamed there was a cement processing plant to the right of the stage at Lollapaloosa. Pain God and Mark Coleman started climbing on it when it started to operate. The building shook, and they fell to their deaths. Livia asked me if they were dead. "We shall see," I told her.
I never quite figured out if they were dead. Instead I was back at MS, supporting the product which I am writing now (*shutter*). I was not being an obedient employee. Playing a lot of Doom, wondering if Pain God was dead.
Elisabeth Perrin
I will have weird dreams today. E dreams.
John
Today I had many "dreamlets". I dreamed I was on a plane and a man stuck his hand out the window to grab a promotional balloon that had slipped out onto the wing. His hand got stuck, and he had to keep it out there until we landed. Ouch!
Then I dreamed David Letterman was hanging out at my place, telling me about a letter he got from a prisoner who was going to kill him upon release. "But don't you shoot in Europe?" "Uh, no, not anymore. That was a short-term thing."
Finally I dreamed that I was at the filming of Letterman's show, and the front row of the audience was filled with cats and dogs, chained together, alternating seat-by-seat.
FuzzyWuzzy
Right now I don't want to recall any of my dreams.
John
I dreamed about trains and Prague. First, I was on a train with my sister in my home town. Then I was on a train with a stranger in Prague.
Sean Beougher
I dreamed I found that sword again. Was nice to feel the steel of the blade and the way it cut.
ZooKeeper
good for you. now if you could just find it in real life...
ZooKeeper
fortunately I don't remember my dreams.
very fortunately.
Solitaire
You could look at it this way: Unless you're psycic or something, and unless you actually saw them or was told by somebody while awake that it happened, then there's probably no way you could have known about it even subconsciously, so it's probably not true....:)
Spur
i dreamt that i followed three ultra-goths out of some club in downtown berkely and kept passing them and then falling behind them while making strange grunting sounds. when i reached my home, i crawled to the door on my hands and knees.
Blain Nelson
I've found that dreams tell me about me and my thoughts, experiences, and fears. Sometimes they provide interesting narratives.
Torch Song
Soli -- and what if you *are* psychic? Happens more than you might think...
Grendel
Is the nasty little Blacky that is a congoer and who sleeps with anything female that moves?
LA REINE
say that again, grendel, and i will smack you.
Blain Nelson
I had a really weird dream last night and I woke up and thought to myself that I would have to remember it and post it here because it would be really weird. But it was like 2:00 so I went back to bed and when I got up this morning I couldn't remember it.
Solitaire
TS - true... I've actually had several psycic experiences myself...
Cloister the Stupid
Blacky loves Grendel about as much as Grendel loves Blacky.
Grendel
Yes, but Grendel has less chance of getting genital warts or herpes than Blacky does because Grendel is discriminate about who he sleeps with. These days he sleeps with just his wife. Before that, just with Cloister (I won't keep going back down this chain though). I'm pretty monogamous and stay with a single person for fairly long periods of time. Can Blacky name everyone he's ever had sex with? I can.
Slap me, La Reine, but it's true. Not only that but I've got a decent paying job (more than $22,000 a year) and a college degree. What's Blacky got other than gamers and congoers? Has he found a career yet?
JayDee
well, I can identify with the monogamy-thyangie
and the one sweet lady I had an affair with was a catalyst to set the kitty
off on The Great Leap Outward, because I had tolerated my SO having an affair
with the shithead that had knocked her up, dumped her, married a fool, and
was fucking around on her while she was at work, for almost a year...
most people are total chickenshit, and cannot deal with serial monogamy
because they are insecure little shits...besides having no honor
and that is no dream
that is reality, in yo-face
not saying that Blackie is a `ho...
explorations sometimes end up with one-night stands, which suck cold rocks
but, life is an exploration process
don't diss it
just cope, and do-better...
John
There he goes about the job thing again. Too bad this room is for dreams.
Freejack
i had a dream last night... i swore i would remember it... guess what? i don't recall the fucker... grrrr...
Lab Rat
Grendel >
You sure make a lot of friends, don't you?
Don't be a geek.
And stop operating on old old old information.
I had a strange dream / restless nightmare last night during my feverish stage of this strange cold/flu sickness thing about people arguing with me about the superiority of Unix.
what a bizarre thing to even worry about.
ZooKeeper
maybe his job is a dream? :>
I woke up screaming at about 2 this afternoon (looooong sleepless night, got sent to bed this afternoon. :> ) I'd been dreaming that there were these two wooden hoops with leather stretched tight across them, about --oh, 6-8 feet in diameter, hung about 6 feet off the ground, about 10 feet apart. I could feel this big hand that I couldn't see, I could feel each finger sliding under me and lifting me, then throwing me at the leather hoops. Sometimes I'd just bounce off the first one, maybe the next time I'd bounce between them a time or two before falling to the ground and being lifted and thrown again. Mixed all through this was the feeling of someone walking through my head. About the fifth time I was thrown I woke up screaming...
John
When I originally created this room, Little Nemo suggested I only share it with Slumberland, so it is not destroyed by dumbshits. She has more experience than me on such matters, and I should have listened.
Effective after my next net, I am doing what I should have done in the first place. Presumably, SLD is only sharing it with me, and now two different "Dreams" rooms will now exist. If you would like to see the one on Slumberland and SOD's side, you will need to call Slumberland.
Megamol
Does anyone feel deprived???
Megamol
I had a dream that I was being hung for crimes that no one would tell me about. The rope was around my neck and I was starting to choke....then I woke up with my hair wrapped around my throat. Sometimes there are disadvantages to long hair.....
MontyL
Bye, John...
JayDee
jeez, mol, that happened to me
it was a dream about the getting hung in the well incident
woke up, strangling on my damm hair
Livia
how sad
your dreams are the only interesting ones in here, john
John
I dreamed I took my brother to ride a go-cart. He got all banged up. At the end of the dream, there was a storm at sea, and people might have drowned.
JayDee
woo
maybe I ought to post some rather interesting dreams I had
too bad John will miss them when he goes off to form DreamNet
will DreamNet also have an equvalent to "Sysop Alert"?
Megamol
this is interesting????
John
I dreamed I was in my high school Spanish classroom. A substitute teacher was there. She was old. I guessed that she was.... Czech. "No," she said. "Croatian." She was my instant pal then. And as we chatted, she told me she was going on a trip soon, and could I please take all her cola? What an unfortunate coincidence, I said: My sister and mother are also taking their own trips, and they have asked me to take *their* cola! If I took hers, too, I'd have far too much cola than I could handle!
Then I was in a large room with rows and rows of work tables. I started somewhere in the back. Three Asian guys at my table were scribbling away at proving the next great geometric theorum. I moved to the front row, where three translators were mumbling everything said into their own language in little microphones. I sat next to a native-English speaker.
Then I realized this place might be an American university established for the richest-of-rich Japanese kids to spend their American academic year here. My girlfriend from highschool was there. Ana Marija was looking very cute (as she often could). She was talking to a new guy, fresh off the plane. She said the word "ciao". He asked what it meant. She explained. Then she said I was a "nephromaniac" and she was some other kind of maniac. He asked what that meant as well.
I looked to the native English speaker next to me, and we shared a thought: Don't you hate it when those non-native speakers use words you've never heard of?
ZooKeeper
JayDee! <snicker> ;>
Molly -- I was wondering that too.
my hair's just getting long enough to work on strangling me, so I'm slipping back into death by hanging dreams too. rats.
now I remember why I always slept with my hair braided.
Little Nemo
OK, this room is now grouped to be shared only between Slumberland and Saltlick of Desire.
Helix Quark
(giggle) that's silly!
JayDee
gets to be a bitch when you get trapped in a carseat and cannot launch
your butt outta there without a fight, or, Siamese cats wind up getting
lost in it, and won't come out...
Megamol
sometimes even braiding doesn't work.....Does anyone else besides me have a feeling that these so called dreams of Johns are more like the wide awake form of dreams that most of us call hallucinations????
JayDee
more like psychosis, mol
Megamol
WHATever....
JayDee
are they gone yet?
Megamol
we shall soon find out.....
Helix Quark
Oh no!
John
It's apparently not grouped yet. AHQ still has access.
ZooKeeper
Mol -- sounds like it to me...
wishful daydreams at the very least, some of them. :>
I spent all of last night fighting with various people from my past, winning some, losing some. woke up this morning with my back almost frozen into position... gack!
JayDee
yep...
Solitaire
I never reached REM sleep last night.. Woke up at 3 with a terrible headache and cough..:(
Helix Quark
Probably gone, who knows.
all they had to do was change the net id and group it. I mean REALLY.
JayDee
Oh, yes!
the Evile Helix Quark and his nauseating ahq still have access!
oh, what can be done about this?!
I will go Dream up a solution...a 20%, dissolved in a litre of methanol
and administered to John in a bolus, should be sufficient...
Twilight Eyes
sniff. They hate us.
Megamol
heh...
Helix Quark
(pout) he called my board nauseating *SOB*
god forbid, I mean it's not like anything I say in here can't be said on SLD.
of coures, I doubt it's _me_ that he's freakin' on. tho maybe ...
JayDee
they can have it...
but, really, Dreams aren't that easy to relate...gha...
they go beyond any senses you can have in the waking
and life seems a bit stale untill you bring it to the level of Dreams
then, you have a better Dream...
oh, my...
JayDee
yeah
and he keeps sending that foul PKZIP.COM...even sent it thru tmm, the hood,
so it will pop open and snoop my shit...
rather clever app...
I'll ren it and file69 ya a copy
it is a .bat converted to a .com with some PC Mag utility
I have one of those utils, but it is for another mutant box...
Megamol
Helix, I think he just freaks about existance.....
Helix Quark
wow that might even have been ... philosophical ... whoa, too bad the excluded us too soon huh?
JayDee
they can slam-the-ham to the Five Minute Hate all they wish, Twi...
they ain't worth shedding even the littlest tear over, and that is a bad
attitude that will gank your mind, anyway, so be-careful, ok?
Megamol
who hates who TE????
WHITE RAVEN
last night i dreamt about this modeling thing at sears. in this dream i was like the star of the show and it led to a further modeling career...... i was like the top super model by the time the dream ended.......
Blain Nelson
I don't remember a lot about this dream but I was in some place with my parents and maybe my kids and I got them all in the car and I drove us through a chained gate to get us away from there and we made it.
Helix Quark
oh, so that's what that was ... I saw it go thru after the fact.
silly. what a stupid game.
Solitaire
Wow, that was very exciting and suspenseful! :)
Megamol
heh..heh..heh
ZooKeeper
Blain -- I don't think you want me to comment, do you? ;>
Freejack
i hade a dream last night and i sorta recall it... actually i wrote a bunch of stuff down about it when i woke at 3 am... some of it is legible even... seems what interested me most about it was walking around with half my head shaved... and as the dream went on every time i pulled a watch out of my pocket it was different... just a wrist watch minus the band... but each time it was a different one... weird....
Blain Nelson
Well, actually, you weren't what we were driving away from (I think you knew that, but if you didn't you do). It seems to be kind of like we were locked into a neighborhood/barrio or something of the sort.
Now I think I'm having process dreams again. I get those when I'm getting used to a new OS or program, or things like that. Now the process is Al-Anon meetings.
