tv screen dreams

had a dream last night that i was a cast member in LOST. it was the final season and i had been teleported into another dimension. from my vantage point on the island, i saw oceanic flight 815 go down (AGAIN). i remark that there are only "micro-casualties". i think i'm jack. the show then proceeds with two of every cast member.

also, i dreamed i was in middle school with liesl. everyone's locker had there names printed on them in large, white lettering. one of josh's brothers went to this middle school too and his first name was "Fuck You".

another dream segement: i was a man who was married to a woman who was a member of royalty. she died while wearing a white dress with red and blue geometric patterns all over it. i told her i would meet her on the island. this then segwayed into the LOST dream.

also dreamed i was in a ball pit with duck from mad men.

supermanimals

josh and i went to eat at a restaurant and we have a big fight. i go home and i realize that instead of eating, josh is shooting a superman movie with him starring as superman. i see clips of this online. he is also filming a strange, animated movie about how a fictional creature that looks kind of like a blowfish came to be. inside of my house is a bag of animatronic animals that josh has left there from his movie shoot. they keep turning on and creeping the hell out of me. i can't figure out how to turn them off.

then, i go over to ginny's house and hang out there while she is at work. i start watching trashy movies and making a mess at her house. she shows up and isn't feeling well, so i give her my heating pad and make her lay on a huge pile of pillows. the dream culminates with me riding a huge horse, bareback, down the east coast.

exploratory pizza

last night my dreams were all over the place:

hillary clinton wanting to give me exploratory surgery for a problem with my appendix. she kept having to leave to go to the bathroom and it was awkward.

getting pizza with amelia and ryan. the pizza just had ranch dressing on it and that was it. tried to put some parmesan on the slice but it turned out to be crushed red pepper flakes. the lid fell off and dumped the pepper all on top of my pizza. amelia then stole a silver audi convertible and was trying to convince us to get in the car with her.

lots of other random bits: a huge red balloon. living inside of a video game. playing scrabble with josh. being in the back of a cab. a huge office building with a spiral staircase.

post script -

i use my iphone as my alarm clock. this morning when i looked at it, instead of seeing "alarm - snooze," i saw "atari - score." strange.

spongebob

i was enrolled in an underwater high school. my dad was there and we were supposed to perform in the school's talent show. we were in an animal collective type band. things took a turn for the worse, as i ended up somehow offending a group of unsavory drug dealers. i spend the rest of the dream trying to hide from them but was confronted uncomfortably at the end by a man who is clearly under the influence of crack cocaine.

i smile and cajole him. he wants me to join his crew. i agree just to see if he will go away and leave me alone. it works.

i guess it is kind of redundant to name my blog posts after the date. maybe i'll implement a more thoughtful system.

this morning, i woke up with the phrase "pizzeria vallarta" stuck in my head. unsure as to why. can't remember any dreams. woke up in the middle of the night and went outside to look for meteors. didn't see any. thought about crafting a leather sling.

woke up with this song in my head.

the main thing i remember from my dreams last night is being at an of montreal show. kevin barnes was in face paint and full regalia as usual.. but the crowd was embarrassingly small. something like 15-20 people. they were all talking smack about of montreal and kept saying things about how passion pit was so much better.. you could just hear "passion pit" being whispered amongst the crowd.

kevin barnes snapped and became very emotional at this point, storming off the stage in a huge huff.

other random elements of my dream: a smart car, enclosed in a tiny wooden shack, that was issuing so much exhaust it almost made me pass out. finding luna underneath the smart car with oil on her paws and having to give her a bath. walking with kate outside in the cold - but the month it was kept randomly skipping around.. like the flashes in LOST.

i had a dream last night that i was a large, toucan-like bird. large beak, colorful. i was part of a family of these birds and the elder, the largest bird, was dying. it was my job to convince one of my brothers to take his place as leader.

we began our journey across america and were flying above the clouds. suddenly, over los angeles, we all transformed back into humans. i fell through the clouds and towards those highway tunnels that are always in the movies.

suddenly, we all had these parachutes made out of green, neon grids.. like some cheesy 90's era CG. we parachuted through the tunnels of LA. and then i woke up.
