What dreams may come
Stumble it!
I had a dream a few days ago that I still can’t get out of my head. Mostly because it is so preposterous. Plus? I have NO idea where it came from.
In the dream I am 20 or maybe 21. And I have the body of a Playboy centerfold — seriously perky, pouty breasts and a tiny yet curvy butt. I look freaking hot! (In other words, nothing like I look in real life.)
Anyway… In the dream I also live in California in a 1920’s type mansion outfitted with lots of beautiful antique furniture. There’s a HUGE kitchen, which has been transformed into a ginormous bar. There’s a big stage with a king-sized bed on it in the center of the dining room. Because I? Am (and this is where, if you knew me, you’d spit out your drink) a burlesque dancer. Yes, in the dream, I dance around slinkily and gyrate my hips wearing skimpy, skimpy things and tease men for money. And the bartender? Is my college sweetheart. In the dream he has very long thick hair pulled back in a pony tail. He’s also very muscle-y. And apparently, we have this little business endeavor together. He’s bouncer/bartender and I’m the “entertainment.” And what’s really screwed up is that the place is PACKED!
I have NO idea where any part of this dream came from. And not a clue as to what it means. But I have to laugh because not one part of the dream is even close to my reality. Anyone care to take a guess as to what this dream means? Anyone have a wierd dream they want to share? Anyone? Anyone?

Feeling exposed? Or the need for attention?
I don’t know - my dreams are always totally REAL and I hate that.
For example, when I was near breaking up with MY college boyfriend (considering going to grad school near where he lived and being pissed that he didn’t want to live w/ me after being together for 3 years), I had this dream that we were at the altar and he said NO and we went to counseling and the priest looked at me and said “Just because you have been together for 3 years doesn’t mean you have to get married.”
And there you go. I broke up with him.
ACK.

Sometimes I think my dreams are actually me visiting myself in an alternate universe. Because they seem so real and normal while I’m having them, and often incorporate real people I’ve met (like ex-boyfriends, etc.), but the world they’re in, though plausible, is different in both subtle and drastic ways. And then when I wake up I’m all like, what? Me, a quantum physicist? And I would NEVER go skiing with that annoying ex of mine from college!!!! I don’t even know how to ski.”

That sounds like a fun dream! I have bizzaro dreams all the time (when I don’t have insomnia, that is). The last one was, there was an impending nuclear attack on Baltimore (a-la “The Sum of All Fears”), and we were frantically packing to flee the city, and my fatass cat wouldn’t go in his carrier, so I them both into a backpack, threw the pack over my shoulder, and… then I woke up.
I have had at least three variations on this dream, where it’s a fire/flood/earthquake. I would much rather dream about being a hot dancer!

Don’t have a clue either…but man, are you having fun! I’d be taking naps if I were you–rest up for your night escapades. Dreams are suppose to be a way for your subconcious to work out problems….hemmm–feeling a little closed in? Feeling a little stifled? Feeling a little dragged down by the responsibilities of life? Hemmmm…I don’t have a clue. Just keep sleeping!

I have had the recurring dream that someday my wife will leave me for a large and swarthy man with a black ponytail. In my dream I am notified of this by a small asian fellow who says “She go marry oily bohunk”.

Your husband is funny
But your dream is funnier! That’s quite a business there. Could you have unrequited entrepreneurial ambitions? Or a secret desire to be an exhibitionist. A past life as a stripper? Oh the possibilities…

Maybe Spring is causing your subconscious mind to wander, thinking about things from the past and how your present is so different? Or, maybe you really just want to dance for money.
Either way, this is hilarious!

I’v been having some pretty bizzare dreams myself lately… I may blog about them, maybe not.

Damn girl! Marcus knows now. What did I tell you about those oily bohunks? Unless it’s for a salad or a car, oil is bad. Write that down.

Clearly the dream means that you’ve been watching way too much B porn.
