I have dreams where I can’t remember my locker combination, and I have to be somewhere in like five seconds.

I once had a dream that monsters that looked like something only the director of Hellbboy could come up with were chasing after me. And in the few minuets before waking up up movie credits began to roll…the only problem was I couldn’t see who was the director or who starred in my dreams other than me. *grumbles*

OK. Now that the bulk of humanity has moved on to Tuesday, I can post my grownup dreams and fears. Odd that I would have cared what a multitude of people think about an anonymous identity…

Anyway. I still dream about tornados, but not as nightmares. Now I actually see the funnel clouds forming and my response is 200% active. Half my brain is 40% fear and 60% fascination, while the other half is busy calculating the best plan of escape and amount of time it can allow the fascination to supersede the fear. I know these must be dreams because in real time, I am rarely so present and cool headed.

I don’t know if I still have nightmares. Fear is so much more frightening for a child, or for people who, as adults, have experienced things to fear beyond their control. I’ve led a fairly well controlled life.

The closest thing I have to nightmares these days would be based on the real life experience of someone dropping by unexpectedly, and there is no way to hide the mess. Interestingly, this is a motivational dream, as opposed to the paralyzing fears of my childhood. I invariably say to myself in the dream that next time I will be prepared. And then I wake up and continue to do anything *but* put my things in order…

Errrmm… Sorry about the length. I know it is a faux pas to try to cram essays into a comment box. But I do find dreams so interesting.

“At dawn my lover comes to me and tells me of her dreams
with no attempts to shovel the glimpse into
the ditch of what each one means.”

my dreams end up being like (http://xkcd.com/430/) more often than not and often involve films and novels from different genres running together (alex ryder is: the transporter) or (cloverfield ep.5 : the empire strikes back)

Over the past week, my dreams have become increasingly trippy.
Best one was when I sealed a bad guy in a giant pickle freezer.
