i dreamed the following over the last month:

dave q was teaching a course at evergreen on feminist theory.
starry sarah and i were dating, but we were going through a messy break up.
i played a free jazz set in london, which was poorly reviewed and i was desperate for no one to find out. (hah! like that would be a problem.)

I had this dream two nights ago that I was at some weird house with my ex boyfriend and his friend from Montreal, except I don't know what his friend actually looks like so in my mind apparently he's been physically replaced by Fred Solinger. So anyhow, I'm at this house and for some reason I'm in a bikini and my ex is being really weird and laughing like Tom Hulse in Amadeus, and his friend is hitting on me, but not like in a hitting on me way, more of in a mean way, like he's hitting on me but just to embarass me. Then he wouldn't like leave and for some reason we were trying to have sex but he wouldn't go away, so then he starts hitting on me again, then the ex is laughing like that again, and I'm like, okay, fuck this, I'm going to leave and just as I'm thinking this and getting really upset, my friend Jus calls me and is screaming at me, "We're at Potion! Where the fuck are you? Get your ass over here!" So I left for Potion, in my bikini.

Not that this has anything to do with ILX, but it's still a weird ass dream.

I dreamt I read a really bad story of Mandee's about some woman having sex.

ps are you hot (if not I will pretend otherwise so no answer required I guess)

Your subconscious is obsessed with me and my EXQUISITE PROSE, Ally.

I actually had a dream that Tom Ewing was the intensely sought after guest of honor at a big house party in Orange County somewhere...except, Tom had, like, a huge of mod hair and was playing an acoustic guitar.

I've had a week of really odd dreams.

Sunday: Lots of different dreams, but all about horses Monday: Weird, there was an end of the world ball, I was supposed to be going, but said I'd get there later. I went to a kind of run down lido place instead. There were lots of pools looking over a lake. There were dead trees, all white, forming a screen in front of the lake, and they were full of children climbing and sitting in them like starlings. There were also a group of oldladies from Florida peddling about in gingham pedelos. When I got back to my friends the end of the world ball had finsihed, it only lasted 45 minutes. We sat about and waited for the end of the world. Last night: I got made president of the USA for no reason and spent the whole night argueing about free hea

Hey Jess, was I a hottie in yr dream? Actually sadly I probably looked no different to my WOOF WOOF usual hence messy breakup chiz chiz. OR was it messy cos my supermodel eating disordered coke addict lifestyle was putting an insufferable strain on our relationship, eh eh?

I had a dream that I had eaten quarters of oranges but had bitten into the pith too deeply. Then I realised that it wasn't a dream but an occurrence last Friday night at a chinese restaurant.I felt fuggy.

How do you all actually remember dreams, I only remember that I had some dreams, and pretty instantly I forget what they were about.

This could mean you have a deficiency of vitamin B6 and zinc Ronan. (According to Metro last week).

I never realised I was so influential. Unless it was the Metro seal of approval that persuaded you.

the only dream I can remember in the last year was about Elton John.

― Ronan, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

And you actually WANT to remember more of them after that? Blimey.

― Emma, Thursday, 9 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I suppose that's a good point but if I am having dreams about Elton I'd rather know what exactly is going on than have him left to his own devices in my head.

I had a long mostly boring dream just before I woke up this morning that I had to go to the local United Nations office (which doesn't exist, obv)and it was just a crappy little gov't office like where you would go to get your driver's license renewed or something. One of the employees called another woman in line "a dirty Jew" and I got into a huge fight with him and I said "This is a fine way for you people to act, no wonder the world's such a mess!" while I pointed out world trouble spots on a big weather-man map. Finally they apologized and put me on the phone with Morgan Freeman who told me that the offensive United Nations clerk would be fired. I felt guilty about getting him in trouble but figured he really shouldn't be working for the UN with that attitude anyway.

maryann I dreamed last night that we were in a huge fight over something I'd done or not done. I didn't promise to do anything recently and then not follow through, did I? cause that would be SO unlike me hrm.

i dreamed ned was in dunedin already. but he didn't look like ned at all, he had flaming red hair and it wasn't very long. there was a big dinner party, i don't remember anything else.

I told geeta this one but just before the Matos FAP I dreamed that geeta was having an arranged marriage. She was very happy and showed me her engagement ring. It was pretty, a ruby.

Previously I had dreamed that Jody Beth Rosen was the significant other of Mike Hanle y. I told Jody Beth that one at the Matos FAP also.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 00:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

I had a dream last night but I can't remember what it was. I hardly ever remember them.

Last week, I dreamed about doing something kind of interesting, but I don't remember what that was, either. Except afterwards (still in the dream) I was telling someone I used to know about 1,000 years ago about it and they just didn't understand any of it and I was getting angry with them. Part of my explanation had something to do with Laurel & Hardy, which is really quite disturbing.

Also last week, I dreamed about someone being sexually/romantically interested in me, but it wasn't anyone I know and nothing actually happened. Obviously, the utterly surreal theme of this one made it pretty lucid. :)

― ChristineSH, Wednesday, 5 March 2003 02:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

about 4 days ago i had a bizarre dream, i thought about posting at ilm but this is just as good.

i was listening to the radio at work and it was this great song i'd never heard before, sounded like old orbital - brown album type caliber. and the dj comes on and says the song is by 'hitler'. yes the hitler, he went on to say hitler had faked his death at the end of ww2 and retired to his ultra-secret underground layer to work on his true passion and create the world best pop album.

it was a great song, really catchy bass line.

a while ago I had a dream where Simon Reynolds (I didn't know what he looked like at time of dreaming) was in my kitchen I think trying to cook something with tomatoes. He had commandeered my stereo and was playing some imagined tune that was HUGE and sounded like a 2step Phil Spector with a cutup sample-choir thing for the string parts. I was really sycophantic; "hey, man, this song is, uh, really great!" But he pretty much ignored me and seemed put out that I was even there.

I had a dream just last night (my first dream to involve a fellow ILXor, honestly) where I was bicycling around Louisville's Phoenix Park with hstencil, except rather than his own visage, he looked exactly like Jeff Tweedy (possibly influenced by my buying and watching I Am Trying to Break Your Heart yesterday). It was a funny & extremely pleasant dream actually; we were, erm, "on da prowl", and it was a summer day and it was just us two and like thousands of giggling girls in bikinis and hippie sundresses and whatnot. Very nice.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 15:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

This dream will become reality if you come to the Derby FAP, nick.

(where the hell is Phoenix Park? I've never heard of it)

― hstencil, Wednesday, 2 April 2003 15:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

D'oh! Duh nick. Phoenix Park is in Lexington...I meant, um, whatever that big one is that's right by my baby's-momma's parents house...whatever that one's called.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 15:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well that narrows it down, then.

CHEROKEE PARK!!! Your parents live right next to Cherokee Park too? That's where my baby's-momma's parents live. You don't happen to have ever known a girl named Jenny Lewis that went to Male HS do ya?

The other month, I dreamed that Mark C was showing off a magazine article he'd written about how much he loves skiing. The article title was a bad pun on the word 'mogul'.

Male HS?????

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Male High School Dan. And don't ask me why it's called Male when girls go to school there; as Rummy would say, it's a "known unknown".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

Woah, HS stands for High School? Who knew?

(I wanted to know why it's called Male High School. I was going to ask if the mascot was a giant wang, but I'd rather not know.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 2 April 2003 20:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sorry, I thought you were implying something drrrty that just went over my head.

Giant Wang Mascot = I'll make a sizable donation, and we'll see if we can get this thing going.

You don't happen to have ever known a girl named Jenny Lewis that went to Male HS do ya?

Nope. I did know some people there tho. What year did she graduate?

Dan, Central's the Hornets, I think Male's the Rams or something. It is called Male because originally it was for boys only. The official name is "Male Traditional High School," because it is the only school in Jefferson County, Kentucky that adheres to a "traditional" high school format (altho they let girls and blacks, and sometimes even black girls in now! [bad humor, I know]).

― hstencil, Thursday, 3 April 2003 18:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Jenny graduated in '96.

One of Jenny's best friends from Male was a black girl named Lisa...um...okay I can't remember her last name.

I met a bunch of her high school friends, but for obvious reasons the only one I remember right now (besides Lisa, of course) is a skinny little white dude named Charles Mingus (and thus the obvious reason I remember him).

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 3 April 2003 18:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

I graduamated in '94, but I bet I'd know some people in her class. I think my friend Nadim Ziady may have been class of '96.

I have had my first ILx dream. This is very disturbing.

It involved Dan Perry. Apparently, he lives 9 floors below me in my apartment building (although I only had to go one flight down to meet him; why I would go to another floor to take out the garbage I'm not sure) with his sister. Also, he's Indian. I met him, that was it.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Friday, 4 April 2003 11:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

If I am Rockwell, then Dan lives in an apartment that looks like a dorm room and features his name in large brass script on the door.

Oh, and I should have clarified - although Dan's "friend" lives 9 floors below me, I managed to go 9 floors down by going one floor down. Maybe I live 8 floors below myself?

I hooked up a show for my band in Philadelphia. It was gonna be really awesome - lots of different bands over a couple of days. Then I found out both bandmates were busy that weekend. In my frustration and need for a vacation, I went on to PA for that weekend anyway to see other bands. When I got there I was surprised to see Di Smith hanging out in a coffee shop. She was in the states visiting some (very goth looking) friends. She took lots of pix of the shows and people hanging out at the shows. Then she made a pic of revolving images and posted it to an ILX thread about the shows. THE END.

As a brief interlude in a dream the other night, I found a book I'd really been wanting to read, and to my surprise the author was Fred Nerk. I thus realised that I was dreaming and promptly woke up, and now I can blame ILE for my wack sleep patterns.

More importantly: does anyone else have a DREAM DIARY?? I played with the thought of turning it into a blog, even...some highlights:

13/10/02

Next, I was at the harbour and there was this old guy fishing there...the sea was really rough, but he insisted on fishing. Finaly, he managed to catch a leopard, who promptly walked around the harbour and allowed himself to be petted by myself. The guy was gonna kill him; I really didn’t want that to happen, so I asked (pleaded?) him “why, why?”, and he got real angry and said “My daughter...my daughter is dead...she always wanted me to get her a leopard!” “But she didn’t want you to kill him?” I asked. “No, no...” he admitted, and broke down, falling to his knees.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10/11/02
We had gotten this new TV service, which allowed us to get plenty more channels (including German ones, and one which shows Buffy), and all those kids were watching it...though actually it was in a store and there dozens of diferent TVs. Then we decided that it was actually a store where you could *rent* certain TV packages.

Also, I’m not sure whether this was in the middle of that dream or another dream entirely, but here goes: me and mum were in this real fancy mall (with golden towers and everything), and she sent me off to buy coal....I got to the counter and there was my current history teacher, who made it difficult for me to get any. Mum walked by and was basically all like “yeah, it ain’t working, is it?” (I might have been Erykah Badu in one or more instances of this dream, I can’t really remember.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12/11/02
I went to school in a Willoesque outfit (dark green pullover with purple arms.) It was embarassing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14/12/02

A teacher (my 11th grade philosophy teacher, I think) wanted me to do something in class which I don’t have any idea how to do (it wasn’t sex, before you ask). So I refused, and she went “oh well, Daniel’s too shy to do this” and I got real angry because godamnit, I’m never too damn shy to do something in class. So I went “OH YEAH??”, and did it in a really overblown, incapable way. I think I might have sung bits of The Ramones’ “Rock & Roll High School” while doing it, too.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15/2/03

I dreamt that I missed Babylon 5. Which I won’t. (Update: I didn’t.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18/3/03

I dreamt that 50 Cent had actually already released two singles- that “In The Club” and the one with the hand-clapping were two separate records.

Back in ILX-specific dreams: Last night I dreamt that John Updike wrote a new book about a middle-aged man who went back to college. His best friend in the book was clearly modelled after Nabisco -- to the extent that the character's name was also similar. (I think the last name was "Erere.") The book was also well designed and had whole sections highlighted in orange.

I had my first ILX dream last night. I was wearing a leather jacket, which I've only done in dreams, and stumbling around a crowded area. Then some people started saying hi and pushed me into a room where everybody screamed "Hi Anthony!" and it was a big FAP. Since I only know people from photos on threads they all looked like those photos. N had a cello. Chuck and some guy were cracking up BIG time. Corny to say, but I don't recall being so happy in a dream in a long time. The dream ended right when I said "wow, hi!" back.

I completely overslept, and possibly as a result, dreamt about posting to ILE. Something about parrots, so it was probably a sublimated sex dream, cause that was the 5th grade slang for "dick." Or maybe it was a statscock-related ream, then. In any case, I don't own a parrot of the feathery sort.

I was walking in Generic City and trying to follow someone named Sean (I don't know any Seans IRL). Then I cross the street and almost run into P Diddy. I call out Sean--since I can't see the Sean I was following anymore--and Puffy thinks I'm trying to accost him. He starts walking faster and looking back nervously. I start following HIM just to tell him that I think he's unworthy to be followed. END OF DREAM

I also had a bizarre HS/college dream, full of huge lectures, trying to remember my locker combo, and helping out this guy--who I knew IRL, but haven't thought about in years--who had become a heroin addict and was OD'ing in class. (jaymc: Ms. Bronchema (sp?) had a bit part)

It wouldn't even make sense for me to type what I remember of my dream, because what I remember has no apparent ILX connection. But I woke up at some stupid hour like 8 or something, one of those rounded ones, and thought, "Damn, that was fucked up. And also, it had ILX in it. I should post .. zzzzz," and promptly went back to sleep where I belonged.

It involved a big desert that I think was Tattooine, and some kind of ... war ... thing. I think I was witnessing some kind of Star Wars-y sort of war, and then posting about it. Or something.

This was not a dream, but I don't know where else to put it:

So-and-so: Yeah, there's that Jesus movie coming out.
Me: The Verhoeven one, finally?
S: I don't know. Mel Gibson's.
Me: Awwk. Does he play Jesus? I wonder if that's Verhoeven's.
S: He could be good, he did Hamlet.
Me: He's like ten years too old, and besides, you can't spell HAMLET without MEL, everyone knows that. You can spell JESUS without it.
S: So who could play Jesus? Jess?

I dreamed they built a scenic walkway over the West Side Highway, except to get to it you had to climb up the side of a slimy mossy rock and swing up on a rope. Then once I was on the walkway, it turned into this narrow "plankway" with no sides (except there were sides, if you believed the sign on the entry to the plankway part -- you just had to trust that you'd stay balanced and not plunge to your death). The plankway offered a nice panoramic view that let me feel like I was walking on air. But it wasn't a view of NYC anymore; it was like a never-ending vista of Mesopotamian ruins.

That's all I remember.

I am so ashamed: I had a Momus dream! I dearly hope it was only a coincidence that this happened the night after I saw the nude picture of him.
So in my dream I have to give a presentation in front of an auditorium full of people. But the student presenting after me brings his friends up to the podium with him, and they're all dressed in expensive-looking Teletubby-like suits. While my presentation had been more mundane, they start performing these dramatic MrWizard/Beakman/Bill Nye type demonstrations. The audience eats it up of course. In my dream I feel that the suits (for some reason) give them an unfair advantage, and the dramatic demonstrations are also kind've cheating or something, so I go into an adjacent room and sulk about thinking that I'd like to have a cigarette if I were a smoker. Then Momus, who was in the audience, comes in and asks what's wrong, and I confide in him how I feel about the other presenters. But THEN he immediately proceeds to go into the auditorium, directly to the podium, and tell everyone there what I had said. He meant well, and everyone pretended to be sympathetic, but I knew that they all were really thinking what a whiney brat I was.

Oh that's totally how most of mine go! Especially high school/college campuses, like in the old buildings and stuff. I always kind've thought that it was just because I enjoy exploring the empty and old parts of buildings and tunnels and stuff in my waking life, but now that I'm starting to get more into the physical side of sleep psychology I think it might have something to do with patterns of hippocampal activation during REM cause like your hippocampus is supposed to have all these projections to your association areas and that whole pathway just lights up when you're doing things involving spatial stuff and learning like exploring novel environments and things.

Last night I dreamed that Nickalicious, a random generic ILX poster, and I all lived in a brick apartment complex. We all got together in the courtyard area to show off our musical instruments and gear. The generic ILXor had a reel to reel eight-track that was built into the outside wall of the apartment building and was one story high. It had giant knobs and dials and everything. Nickalicious had an instrument that looked like a banjo but sounded like an electric guitar. During this part of my dream, Nickalicious looked like I think he does in real life, but in a later part of my dream, everyone went into my apartment to look at my set-up, and Nickalicious had blond floppy hair, a weird-shaped head, no glasses, and a big cleft in his chin. He was vaguely sleazy in this part of my dream.

Last night the July 4 NYC FAP must've been on my mind; I dreamt that we were all at a long table and Matos and I were at the end. He was going on about this girl he'd gone on a blind date with; he was quite taken with her and thought he might marry her. Apparently she was Mormon, though, so I was telling him that he'd have to convert and wear the underwear and stuff, and also that he might not want to count on so much as getting kissed before marriage because I knew plenty of Mormons who were that strict about premarital stuff. Obv. I was secretly jealous of her.

i dreamt that i was in a car with my friend T and several (ill-defined) others

she was dressed — as always in waking life — in vivid red and black — but here as designed for eg Jackie O (*not* generally T's style): viz beautifully cut red jacket and skirt, and red pillbox hat!!

we were driving down mare street, and suddenly she leapt from the car, ran over to some workmen, seized a drill and bit from one of them and started drilling things (bricks, planks, all the stuff you build buildings with), and shouting at them — we were too far away to hear what she was shouting but the gist seemed to be "Do you see? Do you see what it's like?"

Anyway the workmen were running around waving their arms about, and she was running around alternately drilling and waving the drill about, and gradually the police arrived to run around and wave THEIR arms about, and meanwhile I was backing the car frantically, trying to magine where a good professional getaway driver would position it for when the drilling ceased and T had to escape

finally i decided this would be in the NEXT STREET: ie where no one was running around or waving their arms about

right at the end of the dream, a great crowd appeared at the end of this empty street, w.T in red at the front, waving the drill and running towards the car — i opened the door so she could jump in, and revved up ready to go — but then i woke up

(actually i just realised i opened the door on MY side, so if she jumped in we'd have driven ofrf with her sitting on top of me...)

I dreamt this morning that after getting my car towed I was sitting at a table in the parking lot (?) with a pretty girl who wanted to talk about bands like Coldplay and Travis. She named "the three stooges." "The Stooges?" I asked. "Yeah, I like them," she replied. "So do I, but they're not really..." At this point Tracer Hand appeared at the table and did an impression of Stevie Wonder singing a Stooges song. After a couple of very confusing seconds of that, Big Boi from Outkast appeared and started to talking to us about how much he liked dancehall. Then Tracer and I started asking him about rap's male chauvinist side, to which Big Boi's replied was that "someone's gotta have sex." Then I woke up.

I dreamed a friend of mine -- not a real friend, a made-up dream person -- contracted mxyomatosis by injecting a vial of Thom Yorke's blood. It was terrible. He convulsed and foamed, and we had to strap him to the bed, and he began to lose shape like the senator in the first X-Men movie. There was some tension as we waited for the antidote to arrive. But it did, finally, and he was ok. I told him not to inject any more Thom Yorke.

I just invented a vocalist in my dream. He's long dead now, and nearly forgotten, but was once a legend. He was of indeterminate race, kind of dark, but not quite Mexican. (He was the color of my uncle Melvin, actually.) He had a famous backing band that sounded almost like Reinhardt and Grapelli -- lovely guitar, lovely fiddle. Honey voice, with a bit of a twang. I think he was from Texas. And the songs -- genius. That was his real strength. He was the best songwriter this side of Gershwin. His biggest hit was called "Miss Lost," and they had some scratchy footage of it on a show called "Legends of Music" on Bravo, and I was fascinated, and thinking, holy Jesus, I gotta get some of this guys stuff.

And then I woke up.

Does it have to be about ILX? But other people talked about dreams that weren't ILX-related. (And what isn't, anyway?) I had very vivid, somewhat disturbed, dreams last night. A couple of them (or maybe it was one long confused one) involved looking for an apartment, or having moved into a new apartment. In one, outside my window, there was an old metal sculpture of some sort, depicting a horse's head (say, about half the size of a real horse's head). The head was partly covered by something like a hat, and I looked up, under that, to see if the horse's face continued past that point, which it did.

I wish I could see things in my mind even half as vividly as I sometimes do when I dream.

two weeks pass...

Had a lucid dream this afternoon. It was the weirdest thing. You know how you're not supposed to die in your dreams? Well, I got my head lopped off while fighting a particularly ugly Buffy demon. And so my head rolled away, but it was like, okay, I lost, on to the next scene. I was aware that it was a dream, and if I had been more experienced at navigating that weird lucid dream world, I would have kicked his ass, I just know it.

Waking up was also very weird. I had to concentrate to do it. And even then, I was for a minute simultaneously awake and still dreaming. I could see my hand on the pillow next to me, and I would move it in my brain, but I could see that in real life, it wasn't moving, so I had to concentrate until I could wiggle my fingers. And then slowly I came out of it.

Best nap EVER.

I had my first post-FAP ILX dream. Me and JBR were watching Year Of The Horse on video. I was sitting on a couch and she was sitting really close to the TV with her head in her hands. After the movie was over there was footage of a Tibetan Freedom Concert on MTV. The Beastie Boys were making hilariously awkward faces and trying to play funk on slightly oversized instruments. When Eminem came out they suddenly started saying stuff like "HERE'S YOUR MIC, DICK!" and "AWWWW YEAH!" Then the TV cut to Eminem nervously noting that he didn't mind the verbal abuse from the Beasties because it meant they were still rowdy. Ad-Rock responded that he wished he'd painted a dirty word on Eminem's ear. Elvis Costello was there.

I was about to ask JBR "whaddya wanna do when the nachos run out?" but then I woke up.

Don't be friends with Beefheart

Justyn Dillingham, are you black? You were black in my dream last night. You were also with two other male ILXors, but I can't remember who they were. Both were white with short dark hair. Very mysterious. We were just chatting, so nothing interesting, but it's just come to me now. Weird.

well mine is a Rainy dream frm a few nights ago

I make up a song for and about Rainy and sing it to her. It begins with something like "Rainy rides a reindeer" and I'm very pleased with what I think is my cleverness at putting Rainy and Reindeer together. She works at a sawmill (the one I lived on the same road as - ranzau - when I was a kid), for which she is widely admired as it's a tough job and she also still makes music and art. Later her, Maryann, me, and some other young women (who I don't know) have commandeered a huge tank-like ship. We're being chased but for some reason we're in high spirits and make a snap decision to steer for Africa, where we'll live wonderful lives as outlaws.

I dreamed that I was in a house on the beach with my mom and Chris Barrus. Waves were crashing like it was a tsunami, water rushing two feet high and coming into the side door, which for some reason was open. The pull back (or whatever it is called when the water runs back before the next wave) was *worse* than the incoming waves, and felt like it was going to pull the house in. It didn't but it seemed sure that the next one would. That's all I remember.

I've just noticed that "recently on ILX Dreams" makes it sound like "ILX Dreams" is the name of a soap opera and this is like the first 30-seconds where they catch you up on what happened yesterday.

Oh I had a dream last night where I was walking down a dark alley and there was a creepy door and I opened the door and there was a poorly lit concrete-block room with apocalypse-stylee detritus and ruin aplenty and there was an ominous figure sitting in a big E-Z-Boy chair like my grandpa might sit in, and the ominous figure came over and sat crosslegged on the ground right in front of me and pulled back the hood of its black cloak and it turned out to be a beautiful girl with dark hair and suddenly the creepy nightmare vibe disappeared from my dream and she kissed me.

two weeks pass...

I had a pretty strange dream last night...

A group of ILXORs and I were walking along the road I used to take to and from my junior school. Mark S, Julio and Tom were there. We were playing with these things that looked like Rubik's Cubes, but they had buttons that you pressed to play musical notes...we were all playing these beep beep tunes, they were pretty good. As we turned the corner into the road I used to live in Starry and Alang came skipping up the road also playing their musical Rubik's Cubes, and singing "Germany Germany"...

Then I woke up to the sound of the telephone ringing next door, it was 4:58am.

I am going to patent the Music Cube!

this has nothing to do w/ ILX, but I had a tres bizarre dream last night. I was picked, strangely, to appear in a commercial for I think some kind of clothing retailer, e.g. Banana Republic. But the commercial either required or transmuted into performing in a play with 28 acts that began during some sort of Sherwood Forest time and continued into the rough present. We started performing almost immediately, and unlike everyone else I didn't understand that you were supposed to know your part and lines right away and just jump into things. I guessed wrongly that I was supposed to be doing some sort of synchronized modern dance/ballet stuff at the beginning. Then I figured out that I played some sort of General who didn't appear until Act 27, and I didn't have many lines so I was busy trying to figure out what emphasis to give them and what model there should be for the role - George C. Scott? Huh?

I dreamt I had started a society dedicated to ridiculing the worst in culture and art. We had become quite popular, ironically, and our meeting was scheduled to be on television. About 300 of us (or more) filled a beautifully designed concert hall/auditorium for the meeting. At the meeting, I met Momus (who had joined the society) who was accompanied by a rather slender, good-looking gay man named Anthony. Momus and I got along rather well and were trading lots of good ideas about art. Then the meeting started. It was totally democratic and non-hierarchical (although I was sort of considered a leader, there were no rules on member rank and no one had to wait to speak in turn). At some point, we brought out a few members of the Eagles (with the exception of Joe Walsh, who was spared because of his involvement in James Gang and his solo records) to answer for their crimes against humanity.

Later, in an unrelated dream, I smoked a few bowls of pot with my dad at a rock concert/short story reading/weird cultural event in a stadium in Pittsburgh.

Oh dear. I dreamt last night that I was playing soccer on a sunny pitch AGAINST THE PINEFOX. We were on opposing teams. The dream occurred in those half-asleep minutes of the morning when several dreams begin to collide. I'd been dreaming earlier of playing soccer as a small child, against other children; I woke up and when I went back to sleep I was again playing soccer but now as an adult.

I remember the Pinefox getting the ball in our half of the field, somewhere outside the penalty box, and he began to dribble in a kind of loping, feinting manner around the perimeter, not attacking the goal (nor passing) but almost just for the beauty of it, keeping to the outside, and keeping the ball away from us. Not directly defending, I was more of a midfielder, and so hung back a bit, waiting for a mistake or for the ball to pop out. He looked quite smart in his Umbros and black soccer cleats.

Then the pinefox did something curious. He had an appointment to keep, and he kicked the ball hard out of bounds. When it came back in I snared it and had just open grass between me and the opposing goalie, but as is the case with all dreams like this, I either lost the ball or never reached the goal. In any case the end never came.

I had this dream not too long ago that I'm revealing first on this forum -- in it, I was watching TV with [certain unnamed person]. We were watching ABC World News Tonight and there was this consumer report that was going to be coming up and it sounded sensational. We waited for the commercial break to end and then when the report was just about to start, we paid complete attention to the TV. To our surprise, it was [another unnamed person] who was doing the report! We thought it was so amazing, not only because we knew this person, but also because this person ended up being a much, much cooler version of John Stossel.

I'm not naming names until I can tell the two people involved in this dream about it, privately.

I am reporting another pinefox dream, but unfortunately this one didn't happen on a sunny soccer pitch; I just dreamt that I was reading a post of his that read "Tracer Hand seems to want a world where he is necessary." Not quite those words, but that's the gist.

Last night I dreamed that I was back in school, at my punk rock class. The special guest speaker for the night was Jon Spencer. He came out and took the podium, then shouted "Blues Explosion!" until someone took him away. I think he ended up in Mr. Weatherbee's office.

Hey, first time I caught those responses!

At any length, the person I was watching TV with was Julia, and the person who was the new consumer reporter for ABC was Ned. *laughs* I didn't think it was creepy or anything -- just thought it would be weird to admit this without chatting with these people in private. Oh well. You're right. Much ado about very little.

Last Wednesday night I dreamed strangely of a trip to France. Flann O'Brien was in France. So was a town called 'BOLTON'. I had to get there. I was in a circular railway station much like, for instance, Leicester Square tube station.

Then I learned that I had to go to Ireland. It was unavoidable. But I was sad because I thought that Irish people I know were coming over here, and I would not see them.

I woke up before I went, or did not go.

The other night I dreamed that I was in some kind of Big-Brother / game show type situation. I was the last one to be left in a cellar, to await the arrival of a visitor. It turned out to be Charltonlido. He told me that he was writing a thesis on luxury and leisure in America, possibly in the interwar period. I pointed him to a book on the subject, which was just behind him, for we were now in what was once my local branch of WH Smith. He said he would not be buying it at the price of £19.95.

Then I was out on the high street, yes, that old high street, with Amanda Wright. It was terribly windy. She was after chips, I think.

Last night I dreamed that I was at a house with a garden, at some kind of party. I knew the hostess. She talked of the book she was working on. It was about... o, I cannot quite remember. Feminism and something else. She was due to finish it by August. But she had been working on it for 4 years or so.

She said other things, some I can't remember, some I can't repeat.

Recently on Nickalicious dreams...

(from last Friday night)
I was leaving a vague someone's apartment, I knew it was very late at night, almost sunrise, and my son was with me, and he was still awake. I realized we needed to get home immediately, so we leave. As I drive towards our house through the 'hood, I have to maneuver through strange gangs of children who are throwing fireworks or explosives or something. The whole thing is very vaguely sinister; after all, it is right before sun-up. Then something explodes near my car and Luk4s and I get out and walk. As we're walking an IRL acquaintance (whom I at one point or another have had a massive crush on) appears out of the strange throng gathered at my door, but no real involvement in the dream-plot yet. Anyway, my house is full of cops who show me all these strange drugs they've found in my house, drugs that I definitely AM NOT down with: heroin, crack, meth, etc. Then they handcuff me and drag me away from Luk4s, who is yelling "DADDY! DADDY!". As I'm dragged out the door, away from my son, random crush/acquaintance watches, points, and laughs.

Last ngith I dreamt that there was a shortage of train carriages and in order to combat this Great Western had started attaching rails and wheels to the undersides of peoples' houses (this involved plucking the houses and their gardens out of the ground, cartoon-style) and then using them as carriages and they were using my house and all these people were coming into my house in order to get to work and my house was stuck with another train carriage in front and a house behind, I think it might have been a house from Teignmouth and then I fell asleep in my dream and woke up and my family and I were having a meal at a restaurant and it was rubbish and ym gran was there and she kept putting salt on my meal, which was rubbish, so I threw the plate at her head and then my actual real alarm went off and I woke up and nearly cried because I was confused because it was a weird fucking dream.

Last night I had a strange but sort of good dream about being in a strangely lit attic room with lots of twentysomethings. It was like a cross between a party and a seance. Alix was outside on the balcony with joss sticks, but that's not the weird part. As I approached the balcony door to talk to her, I saw a guy in white with his back to me. I stopped dead, and just studied him for a while. As I moved closer, I looked over his shoulder and saw he was holding a cuddly toy. That man, ladies and gentlemen, was Jess Harvell.

(i think he was onto us.) then we all went back to my mother's house in the country (there was a riot in nyc) and there was an ilx murder mystery, with zombies. latet in the dream, minna was my waitress, and we were passing secret notes back and forth to each other giving me advice. i didn't take her advice because i ended up making out with and fucking [DELETED] in hallway, despite the fact that i was still dating nancy.

OK I had a dream this morning that really has been bothering me all day; I was at the zoo with bnw and we were chatting about random stuff about the upcoming holiday season and where I was moving to and blah blah blah when all of a sudden he got really angry and told me he hated me. I was like, what? And he was like, "I really think you're a horrible person, that's all" and walks away, and I'm like "(bnw's real first name here), wait!" And then he turned around and he WASN'T bnw but was instead was an old male friend of mine who I've lost touch with years ago and he's like, "I'm not even named that! This is why I hate you!" and started running away from me. So I'm confused and I turned towards the little pen at the zoo we were looking at and realized that these animals were PIGS WITH PENGUIN FEATURES LIKE BEAKS OR FLAPPY BLACK WINGS. The sign says "PIGUINS" and then I woke up.

Right, so last night I dreamt I was chatting up Jennifer Connelly in some bar with an extraordinarily widescreen TV (like 6 inches tall and five feet wide) and she said "what's your favourite film?" and I said "Dark City... no, Hulk... no, anything with you in" which is kind of true cos I do love both those films, and anything with Jenniffer in is obviously watchable, and then she came on to me really strongly, and I said "Wait a minute, aren't you married?" and she said "Yes, I'm married to Dan Perry" so I said "I could never go behind Dan's back, I have too much love and respect for him" and she said "Fair enough, our love can never be" and walked away and I'm like wtf?! this must have been the opposite of a lucid dream because had I Had any modicum of control over proceedings we would have made lots of babies for the next 10 seconds or however long it is that dreams last.

OK, I'm worried. ILX or ILXors have turned up twice in my dreams in the past week. Perhaps due to withdrawl.

The first dream featured me going into a dodgy record shop in Camden and finding demos from the new My Bloody Valentine album on sale for only £10, and me buying them shouting "Ha ha, Ned will be so jealous!" I think this theme is starting to become sort of a recurring dream.

The other dream was a strange sci-fi epic in which I was working for a secret branch of the Environmental Protection Agency under the cover of a Tower Records subsidiary. We were being infiltrated by strange alien children who could do things like fly up the walls and swim across the ceiling. But this song kept playing on the radio that went "Jaaa-panese Hipster Girls Scout For Momus..." It was a great song, I remember the tune and everything. I wish it were real.

I've had nothing but nightmares recently. The one that had ILXors in it was only tangential presences, we were all in this big fancy beach house and along with real life friends and my mom and Tom there was also Tracer Hand and Geeta. None of you bastards would allow me to eat for THREE DAYS and I got so desperate that I was eating MEOW MIX and then I was like, gah, what am I doing, and tried to spit out the cat food and instead my teeth came out and I was like, OH NO I should go to the hospital to save my teeth (instead of the dentist I guess?) and no one would take me. Nor would any of you give me food. WTF you bastards. I wish my dream self had invited Chris and JBR to the beach house because at least they could've told me where to go for some food. The rest of you were all obviously tweeking out of your fucking minds (PS thanks for sharing assholes)

I have them at least once a week, every week, for the past ten years, if not longer. I think it's because my teeth are enormous so I think about them a lot. This one was particularly gruesome though as I went and looked in the mirror at this horrifying mess of dangling, moving, bloody teeth with gaping holes where the spat out ones should've been...ugh!

One of my other nightmares had a Diana Ross cameo and took place in a weird airport/casino/amusement park hybrid but no ILXors so alas. TWO of them made me wake up really, really angry with my boyfriend until I realized "Oh wait, those were just dreams, obviously since they took place in landscapes previously only seen in my 'life' in episodes of Starblazers and Lupin III, never mind." I hate those type of dreams.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 15 January 2004 15:57 (twenty years ago) link

Actually I did have another dream with an ILXor in it, I dreamt I was pregnant last night and thhe person who called me to tell me the test results identified herself as "Rosemary Gilbert, from Dr. Maran's office" and I've just realized that now, that the nurse at Dr. Maran's office is named Judith or something like that, not Rosemary Gilbert.

Last week I dreamed that ILX was actually several long wooden fences, where people would spraypaint their posts. Several people were standing around reading them, discussing them out loud and deciding what they were going to write next. A newbie had written a post in elaborate bubble letters filled-in with polka dots, and everyone was admiring and commenting on the person's attention to detail.

I had my first ever ilx dream last night. it only partly counts as a dream because I was wearing a nicotine patch, which gives a person (or me, at least) totally fucked-up dreams. anyhow. pretty much all ilx worked in this big building that was like a warehouse with old wooden desks and very tall shelves partitioning off the various sections of the place - in the storage areas, we mainly dealt with the kind of thing you keep in "dry storage" in restaurants (croutons, bacon-flavored bits for salad, etc). It came to pass that Ally let me know she was leaving the job where we all worked. Everybody in the office knew she was going, but we were all sort of ignoring it/pretending it wasn't happening/pretending to be too busy to notice. There was the feeling, in the dream, that this was our general policy when dealing with people who are leaving. I was overcome with emotion and I felt like it was important for all of us to say goodbye when Ally left, which she was doing in the middle of the day. So as she made her way toward the door I found a place where everybody could hear me and I tried to call out "Ok, everybody, come and say goodbye to Ally," but I was choking up so badly & trying so hard not to let my voice break that the voice coming out of me 1) barely sounded like me at all and 2) wasn't nearly as loud as I'd usually get if I were trying to get everyone's attention. The thing that woke me up was that the "eeeee" sound in "Ally" got "stuck" on my tongue, so that what I actually said was "come and say goodbye to Allyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy," at which point I was so mega-creeped out that it jolted me awake.

I had a flying dream involving Simon Reynolds recently. I was flying like Superman over these fields and SR was holding onto my hand. I kept flying low to the ground and then veering up again. So I flew low straight towards this timber fence and then just as I was about to collide into it I flew up. Then I looked behind me and SR had smashed into the fence and was knocked unconscious. The next thing I was being chased by an angry mob down some cobblestoned streets in a kinda Eastern European looking city.

Last night, I dreamt I was walking home and got mugged by BabyBuddha (of I Love Film). When I explained who I was, he gave my wallet back. But he wouldn't return the money and I.D. he took, saying he "needed" the I.D. As were talking, though, a crowd gathered around and started to beat him up -- badly enough that he slumped to the curb. By the time the ambulance came, it was too late. The paramedics dumped his body in someone's bathtub. But when we checked on him a little while later, he was gone!

I had a really boring dream with Ally in it. I was supposed to meet a group of people at Ally's house, which was in the suburbs because she lived with her parents and siblings (whom I've never met, obviously). Maybe it was going to be a FAP, who knows. Sarah was one of the people I was supposed to meet. I ended up getting there really early, which is pretty true to real life, because I'm always embarassingly early for everything in real life. So I went somewhere in the neighborhood, I think a restaurant, and hung out, waiting for it to be closer to the right time. Then I went to Ally's house and I was still really early, but she was really polite about me being early, acting like it was no big deal. Then I hung out with Ally, her parents, her little brothers, and a bunch of dogs, watching TV.

I'd just moved into a new flat that looked kinda like a school classroom, and it was full of bookcases, so kinda like a school library. Then I discovered who my room-mate was, I hadn't been expecting to have to share, it was Momus. I was about to move out, as I thought there had been some sort of mistake, but I decided to stay, though by this time the room was full of Mo's pals all totally ignoring me. However, then he got a book of the shelf "Introduction to Information Management", and I was quite annoyed and asked him if he was taking the piss, then I woke up.

So I had this dream the other night and just found this thread, so here ya go:

I'm at a cottage in Northern Ontario that I usually go to in summertime. I'm hanging around by the dock/shoreline, and I'm chatting with TOMBOT (whom I've never met). TOMBOT is putting beer and ice into the boat, as one does in these situations (an aluminum rowboat, not fancy). Then I notice a whole lot of frogs around. There's the regular ones that are a common sight at the cottage anyway, and then there's these really big yellow-ish ones. The big ones can't leap very well, and tend to have a wonky leg. TOMBOT tells me it's because they are paralysed. I accept this explanation. The dream kinda fades after that.

I had a dream that I lived on a farm, and it looked as if it was from the future. Then I went with some friends on a boat ride. There was this person on the boat who really had a liking towars pigeons. All these pigeons got on the boat and she was telling us everything about them and no to harm them.

When the ride was over, I was the last one on the boat. A pigeon was next to me. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING and the pigeon was pecking my leg. I just tried to walk away. The pigeon flew up to my arm and was trying to peck my face! I put my hand in front of my face. The pigeon began pecking faster. I pushed it. It flew. Came back. For some reason, I had my violin case with me. I grabbed it. There is an out side pocket on my case. I opened it, the pigeon flew inside, I zipped up the pocket, and I suffacated the pigeon. I threw it in the water.

Then I went hicking with my mom and one of her friends. We got lost, and I was trying to make something, but didn't have everyting I needed. Then some Stone Temple Pilots song was playing in the backround. My mom got mad at me. She made me, and only me, eat all of this cardboard. The worse part was, there was paint on it. I ate it.

Some how, I ended up in a building with three other people. We were all to eat ice cream. One person took all of the one flavor I liked out of the three that were there. Some old woman and I asked if he'd give us some. He kept most of it, gave a resonable amount to the old woman, and as for me, I got two table spoons!!

I had a dream: Chris Piuma was coming to visit me, but instead of living in an apartment with Sarah, I lived at home with my parents and sister. So he came over and chatted awkwardly with my family. Then we all went to see a movie. The movie starred Nicolas Cage, and was based off of a (nonexistant) Donald Antrim novel. It involved several members of a family coming over to the home of a recently deceased family member and dividing up their belongings, destroying everything in the process. The end of the movie was that the house caught on fire, Nicolas Cage being ejected from the house in a giant ball of flame. Anthony Miccio was in the movie too, he found some really old cigarettes and smoked them. After the movie, we (my family and Chris) were walking back to the car and we had to walk up this huge hill. My parents and I found an escalator that took us to the top, but Chris got sidetracked and was stuck at the bottom of the hill below an embankment. He finally managed to climb up it though.
Fin.

Last night I dreamed I went with Suzy to the offices of Edgy Style Mag, which were in St Paul's cathedral. They said they would give me £140 to interview Aliyah (3200 words, deadline Monday). People were milling about in the vestry trying to set up a photo shoot and then someone said "Oh we can't do photos, she died over two years ago, but Anna, you can still do the interview."
I thought this was fine, and totally possible. Then Toby walked in and he'd grown his hair, but it was light brown and straight (which it wouldn't be if he grew it in real life).

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:34 (twenty years ago) link

We do tend to go to movies when I visit. And that plot is remarkably close to something that could be a Donald Antrim story. Though if it was an Antrim novel, it wouldn't end with flames and explosion. But it makes sense that they would add that in adapting an Antrim novel into a movie, especially if Nicolas Cage was starring.

Last night I dreamt that I was trying to ride a bike up 18th Street NW in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC. Except that the bike was powered not by my legs but rather by a cross between those old hand-cranked railway cars and the childhood Green Machine. Basically, I had to make almost punching motions with my hands to make the damn thing move, and uphill I wasn't going too fast.

Then I noticed someone passing me on a normal bike. This person was chattering on a cell phone with an earpiece and microphone. And then I realized that this person on the bike must be Ally, because she was a she, and over her shoulder she was carrying some dry-cleaning that had a big label that said TOMBOT but in the style of Talbot's: http://a1389.g.akamai.net/7/1389/2573/20010329163324/www.talbots.com/images/upper_nav/talbots_logo.jpg

I was supposed to visit NA at his parents' house in Virginia (have no idea if his parents actually live there), so he and his mom came to pick me up (from the airport, I guess?). I spent the car ride there talking about some article in the New Yorker from a few weeks ago about some architect who had either designed buildings at William & Mary, or who was a well-known alum of said institution, which I referred to as "your [NA's] alma mater." NA's mom had read the article, too, but NA hadn't. I wish I could think of the guy's name; I'm sure my subsconscious mind had created something suitably ridiculous. I want to say it was something like Jefferson Mitchell. Anyway, we finally got to the house, a tasteful white colonial-style, and upon getting out of the car, I made sure that my girlfriend's three cats also got out with us.

Then a group of non-real life cousins appeared out of nowhere to have lunch and hang out. There were 6 of them and the all had this weird tendency to talk almost incessantly on their mobiles. Then my 2nd younger brother (who's still in the UK IRL) showed up to hang. I ended up going back to my room, which was completely different to the one I actually ahve and suddenly all the 'cousins' come in one by one and start telling me "We're not who you think we are, no one is" and each throws their mobile on my bed, which all turn out to be fake Nokias. Then my brother comes in and says "I am not truly your brother" and I'm paralysed with fear and confusion and am all like "Who the fuck ARE YOU PEOPLE!" and then I'm all sad and going "What did you do with my bro?" and he just leaves, repeating his phrase. Then the eldest of the fake imaginary cousins comes in and starts explaining the "plot" but I woke up at that point.

Meanwhile a Phil/Daddino amalgam and Geeta (who had Mike's beard! didn't somebody else have a Geeta w/ beard dream before?) were telling me they meant to pick me up from the station when I got into town.

Last night I had a nightmare!

I was driving in a big blue minivan with tinted windows through an endless parking lot littered with burning cars. And I was in a good mood, listening to Mott the Hoople on a ghettoblasta sound system.

Getting hungry I stopped at a taco bell in a place called 'INTASTATE WASTELAND PIAZZA" and went inside. I ordered a taco, informed the server that he'd, haha, better make it good because I'd never had a taco before. I wondered why I'd said that, and it was clear that the server didn't believe me.

Said server was about 6'2", with really mangy short brown hair, and looked like a cross between Mike Skinner and Bill Haverchuck from Freaks and Geeks. He handed me a really terrible taco, which I (for his benefit) pretended to enjoy before walking to the car.

I'd parked near a brick corner, so there was a mini-alley between the edge of the minivan and the wall. I walked into it and opened the side door to the van but before I could climb inside I was thrown bodily against the wall. The mangy Mike Skinner/Bill Haverchuck taco server stood at the alley's exit, holding a chunk of cinderblock he'd used to clock me in the gut. He bent over me and tried to kiss me, and I could see that he had a bifurcated snake tongue. I ripped off his chin which fell away (I suspect) in a manner modeled exactly on the way Brindle-Fly's does at the end of Cronenberg's movie. I started running and he loping after me.

Then I shut a gigantic magazine and realized that the whole thing was a story in a new issue of the New Yorker. It had been written by Walter Cronkite and the front cover illustrated by David Hockney.

someone quite accidentally gave me mark sinker's AIM name - copying and pasting a conversation they'd had with him, i think. later on i used this AIM name to telephone him. dream logic allowed me to this, but when i told him "mark? this is thomas.. someone gave me your AIM name" dream logic didn't extend to him understanding how that let me call him. also he sounded (quite rightly) confused because i) i had woken him up and ii) he has no idea who i am.

after this conversation it somehow skipped to a bit with us working in a very fake old timey pub together. he was in charge. then i dreamed about a boy band performing the orange juice's version of al green's 'l.o.v.e.'; they were quite good. (i think this might be something to do with "rockism".)

Hmm, I wonder. I do admire (more than envy) people with academic drive and ability, and sometimes I feel a bit dumb in comparison (Sarah, who's also doing a PhD, gets to see this quite a lot). Historically I've always consoled myself with the fact that I am fundamentally clever, but as has been discussed before, ILX is a difficult place when it comes to asserting your intellectual strengths as there are so many geniuses about.

I dreamed I was buying some pistachios and tiny rainbow coloured ice cream cones in a corner shop, and I put the pistachios in the scale at the till and went to fetch the ice creams, then, despite having been the only person in the shop seconds ago when i got back there was a huge queue, so I joined the back, thinking I'd catch up with the pistachios when I got to the front and no harm done, but everyone in the queue started having a go that I'd jumped the queue by putting the pistachios in the scale when I was still at the back of the queue, even though when I'd put them there there had been no queue. I tried to explain, but it all went nasty and I got upset and shouted 'you people' and ran off. I woke up and thought it was all real. I am blaming the crap day I'm now having on this dream.

I had a dream that mark s told me I should write a book examining math textbooks from something like a ten year period, critically examining their approach. (I think it started at some point in the 80's.) I said something like, "I know you're going to say it's not really a weakness [when it comes to doing a project like this] that I'm very bad at math, but I don't believe you." And then mark s did indeed say something along those lines, and make some sort of case as to why it wouldn't matter, but I can't quite remember what it was.

A couple of weeks ago I dreamt that I was amateur!st, and that I'd been captured by Texans who were angry about me being some kinda foreign no-good non-Redneck type. I was sorta sad and slow and kinda Zoidberg-esque about it all, like this sort of thing happened all the time. Then I found out that their leader was Blount, and I thought that was a good sign, only then he announced that one of his buddies had decided that I was going to be hung, and they're wasn't much he could do about, though obviously he'd like to, fellow ILXors and all. He wasn't very convincing.

I always thought that people who said they had dreams about ilxors were weird but IT HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT!

I dreamt it was my birthday and my sister had a surprise party for me but let it slip on the way to the venue (a large pub with a circular bar) that she'd invited all my 'friends from ILX'(!) I said, 'I don't know anyone on ILX and don't really want them at my party anyway'. And next thing I was at the party but it was over very quickly. Next day, all my 'friends from ILX' were saying, 'Great party, Penelope' and I was saying, 'what the hell are you talking about, you weren't at my party'. And I had this awful feeling that I'd forgotten what had happened the night before and I started to panic cos I thought my mind was going.

Then I woke up.

What CAN it mean??? I'll be afraid to sleep tonight.

Omigod, I forgot about this! I had a dream that Colette and I moved into this beautiful new apartment, and we had finally got all our stuff in, and were sorting it out, and then all these TEENAGE GIRLS turn up and start wrecking everything.

Turns out that we had been duped by a shifty landlord, and our fab new "apartment" was actually the lobby of a GIRLS BOARDING SCHOOL.

i had this fucking horrible nightmare last night. i will describe it only it won't sound bad--what was really bad was the feeling of dread it inspired in me for no reason.

so it's two weeks from now, and i'm in paris. only i don't know how i got there or what has happened in the two intervening weeks--i somehow have blanked it out or am suffering from minor amnesia. i'm in a restaurant, a long place with one wall full of little sculptures of buildings. or maybe they are buildings! because they start to get bombed or something, and i can't figure out if it's real buildings in the distance or weird little models in the restaurant.

all the time i am thinking, "SHIT, THIS ISN'T A DREAM. THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS A DREAM!" it was like a reverse-lucid dream! then i "wake up" and try to post about it on ilx, except this is dream-within-a-dream styles going on here!

then i really wake up and kinda freak out and scare the gf and sneeze a lot.

I had the worst dream ever last night:

I was listening to football results on the radio. (Note, I do not like or understand football) I was waiting for something. When the announcer said 'Arbroath' (Not the result mind, just the team. I don't even know if Arbroath have a team) I leapt in the air and cheered.

I also did this in my bed, asleep. I've pulled my back really badly, and woke up in pain. Certain movements cause a surprising amount of pain, which makes me catch my breath and feel sick. So, worst dream ever.

Also, I'm trying to find a meaning. Why Arbroath? Is Arbroath a good thing? - I cheered, implying it was good, but it also destroyed my back, so who knows?

I had a dream about a month and a half ago that was just... well, it was mundane, but odd in its mundane-ness. The whole of the dream was just me posting to ILX. I remember having something I'd really wanted to post, rushing over to my home computer, and posting to ILX, and then when I got to the "Success!" page, I woke up. I think it was something that I felt would incite quite a bit of controversy and was actually nervously anticipating the reaction to the post.

Odd thing is, for the first few minutes after waking up from that, I felt like I *did* post whatever it was that I had dreamed I'd posted and rushed over to ILX to see what the reaction was like. Hmph.

The dream ended when (for some reason, we had the scrabble board set up on the wall, and we place tiles by somehow fixing the letters on the board, without glue or anything) I messed up, and made all the tiles fall down!

The word I was trying to put on was "WAKE", I didn't realise the significance of the word until I woke up after that and remembered that I shouldn't have been sleeping at the time.

I was going to have the W on a triple letter too, had I not messed up. But it was all a dream anyway.

I had two ILX dreams in a row on Saturday night. Unfortunately, the second one erased almost any memory of the first - all I can remember is that I was hanging out with Casuistry at a baseball game.

The second was bizarrer and much more star-studded. I had travelled by train to see a non-league game near my house, but I'd gone too far and had to walk back on myself through the snow to get to the game. On the way, I came across a nice, cosy pub, so I went in for a drink.

However, attached to the pub was Porkpie Chris's house, which was tiny but crammed with flash kitchen appliances. It was a bit of a squash - Chris was there, as was Tom E, Carsmile, Pete and Emma. SGS was sitting in the corner gazing out onto the snowy street.

I tried to find a fridge to get a beer, but the only fridge was the size of a rubik's cube and contained one tiny can of pop. Meanwhile, Tom was showing Pete and Emma his Xmas present to them, which was a beautifully framed and inscribed photo of Tom himself in tasteful black and white.

In my dream, Sarah and I were on a plane, but we were going on seperate trips, she was going somewhere with her mom and I was going to NYC. I was staying with Phil-two so I went to his apartment. It was large and white. He told me that his apartment was too expensive and that he was going to move to northeastern Canada (like in the tundra) and was going to commute to NYC. He said that he got the money for his move by smuggling guns. Then he showed me an itemized bill comparing the cost of his current apartment to the cost of his new apartment. It turned out he was paying like $100,000 a month in rent and had to pay for all repairs. We were going to leave to go eat or something, but first I had to make a call. I looked in my bag to find the phone number and realized that Sarah had left her glasses in my bag. Then I found the number, I had to call my drug dealer and arrange to meet up with him later.

I started tango-ing with people to Tom Waits songs, and I was dancing with jel and I kept trying to get Markleby to dance with me but he wouldn't, but it's probably a good thing because then I fell on jel and crushed his head. With my breasts. (This is quite embarrassing since I have never met jel and he seems like such the gentleman)

So I'm in some sort of gymnasium or something when I see Chris V walking around in a baseball uniform, looking very serious, and it dawns on me: He made the U.S. Olympic baseball team. And I'm at the Olympics. So I watch him and the team for a little while, and the next thing I know, I'm standing on first base, which Chris is defending. The base, however, as with all the bases on the field, is a large pizza. I'm not sure whether I should fully stand on it or not, in case it's being saved for later. At no time does it occur to me that this probably isn't actually the Olympics.

Especially because my morning newspaper arrives, and it's the ILX EDITION -- you know, how some major metropolitan areas have special regional editions for if you're in the suburbs or the city -- and the front page is all about the Olympics. And there's two separate articles about relatives of Chuck Eddy. In one, his mom is interviewed about how excited she is about the Olympics. Another is about his brother, who's like a referee or something.

Later, back at the baseball game, Teeny has set up her sleeping bag on the field, which has now shrunk to the size of a bedroom. Chris V has to tell her that she should probably move to the next room over, since there's a game going on and she'll get hit. (Although when she gets up she looks less like Teeny and more like Maria Tessa Sciarrino.)

I had this dream last night that my band was playing a show with my friends' band, the Super-Eights, and some other band. While the first band was playing, I got bored and took a walk outside and ended up taking a nap on a bench on the El platform. Then I went back, and the Super-Eights were playing, and the guitarist was playing one guitar with his hands while kicking another guitar with his foot to make noise. I went online to ILX on my laptop there in the club and jocelyn had said something on ILX that seemed to reference the guitar player playing with his foot so I was like WTF? jocelyn is at this show? But then she posted something that made it clear she was talking about something completely different and it was just a coincidence.

I ate too much pizza last night and had way too many dreams. THREE involved me still being in college and not having gone to classes in weeks (I'm still kind of frazzled). In one dream I was reading an article in SPIN where they had different types of women sit in pools for long periods of time reading different magazines (I think it was a scientific study). There was a group shot of a bunch of baseball, music and movie critics and Maura was wearing a large jacket with graffiti on it and bleached blue jeans. There was also an article about how 90210 was terrific, and how later characters people dismissed because they were introduced in the final seasons now seemed terrific in re-runs. I had another dream where I was massaging the legs of a different ilxor (her name is removed to protect the innocent). They were stubbly but I didn't mind. I also had a dream where I was really mad at my co-worker, Bob Dylan, who refused to do any work and I actually started throwing books at him. I was also upset cuz I hadn't gone to class in weeks. I think I was starting to dream about another ilxor but then someone knocked on my door to announce they were cutting off the power to my place for a couple hours. :(

I dreamt last night that I was in a big house but I'd eaten and drank too much and had to go for a lie down. So I pass out on this bed in a messy bedroom, and at some point become aware that Texas Sam has come into the room and is singing to herself in the en-suite bathroom. I am still woozy and sprawled on the bed, and it's clear she hasn't noticed me. I'm not sure what to do.

Anyway, after a couple of minutes listening to her unselfconsciously warbling away, I thought I'd better make my presence known. So I got up, picked up a couple of dirty plates and walked towards the door. Suddenly she spins round, terrified, and brandishes a pearl-handled revolver at me, screaming "what the fuck are you doing here?!".

I woke up at this point.

one month passes...

I had a strange (real life) experience just now. A co-worker (I don't know particularly well) in another department, who is also a clergyman, just pulled me aside to tell me about a dream he had about me. The imagery involved was very disturbing, but then he told me that someone he consults about dreams told him that it meant victory and that anything I touch will turn to money. He wanted to know the month and day I was born, as well. I didn't want to give it out at first, but then curiosity got the better of me. (He's goign to ge back to me with more information.) I was expecting him to tell me it meant I was in danger of killing myself, or I was going to hell or something. If it means anything (and I am open to the idea of psychic whatever you want to all it), it could be a reference to my attempt to change my status at work (though that's not particularly money related).

I dreamed Sarah and I went to the same high school, and she was in this super advanced Biology class and I wasn't. So apparently every year in this class the students and teacher discuss people they think should be in the class next year, and my name came up, but Sarah didn't think I'd be good for that class. She told me this in the hall. She said she thought I'd be too nice, or was too much of a pushover, or that I was somehow not tough enough for that Biology class. I was so mad at her.

But the teacher, who happened to be my senior Biology teacher in real life, thought that Sarah was wrong about me and gave me the entry test anyway, which wasn't just a test, it was a test and an interview and I had to give references -- references from people who would say I'd be really good at biology, I guess. Anyway, I got in and then Sarah and I were friends again, though I was still a little mad at her.

I recounted this dream to a nuber of you yesterday, but hey.

It was school science project time and stevem and I had teamed up to build a robot (that looked suspiciously like one of the two-legged walkers in Star Wars) in some kind of box-shaped diorama. Our robot was pretty cool and we were pretty confident of winning.

So we set off to school along the Thames in a tiny boat. Soon though Caitlin pulled alongside us in a boat powered (incredibly quickly) by nothing more than rubber bands. There was no doubt that Caitlin would beat us in the science competition, but to make sure, she torpedoed us with her fast boat, leaving us floudering in the water as our robot/diorama got chewed up by a nearby hydroelectric dam.

I was going to transcribe the dream but it will take too long, so here are the salient points:

1. I had a drink with John McLaughlin of the Mahavishnu Orchestra (so this is more of an ILM dream than an ILX dream)

2. Me and my brother went to see the premier performance of John's new piece - which was about Ruth Ellis (you know, the last woman to be hanged in Britain) but was entitled "June Walter Ellis".

3. The performance took place in a shop with the "musicians" sitting behind counters.

4. They did a version of "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, another song was written by... Brian Auger!

5. As the last piece of music started, a spotty bespectacled nerd stood up in front of the stage/counter and started offering a critique of the night's performance - saying it was regrettable Mr. McLaughlin was not playing "more notes" and, bemoaning the fact that he was no longer playing "skinhead funk", stated, "Playing six notes endlessly - no matter how well played - is not sufficient." (maybe it was Geir?)

6. Part of the performance involved Madonna getting her head shaved.

7. The music consisted of really powerful and melodic feedback drones which "John McLaughlin" was controlling by means of pedals. He did not have a guitar.

8. The rest of the music was coming from a device which was being attended to by several earnest young men - this device, frankly, was a laser printer.

9. I said to my brother, "Can you guess what age he is?" My brother said "34", but it was obvious he was referring to a piece of musical equipment and not to John McLaughlin.

OK I had a fucked up dream last night, for some reason I was at this southern truck stop stereotype of a hellhole bar with virtually no patrons (though all were female to start with), and Je4nne Fury was the barmaid. At one point it became a weird situation where teh drugs were referenced and suddenly Je4nne and this heavy, middle aged woman both produced like sugar bowls of coke. Je4nne was like all scarface about it, she like dumped the damn thing on herself. She also grabbed my hand and blurted out that I was "catatonic." An influx of other customers came in out of the blue, they also partook in the coke, one of the new patrons I'm pretty sure was JBR but it could've just been someone similar to her. Then I ended up wandering down a long corridor to the "parking garage" with two of Tom's friends, having a weirdo psychology discussion about porn, phone sex, and masturbation. One friend just kept giggling and yelling "CRANKIN'!", the other had quite a bit to say. We gave up on the car search and ended up back in the saloon because he needed to ask Je4nne a question about the topic but I woke up.

Last night I had a dream where that took place in small, broken down cottages over miles of country hillsides, all at night, all kinds of faceless dream people all paranoid about something out on the prowl killing/eating-parts-of people. Everybody's all clutching their big guns and whomping sticks and Teeny is there in this one cottage with a friggin ninja sword, and she's all like: "Nickalicious, I have to tell you what my real name is now before all hell breaks loose...it's [unfortunately, I don't remember what she said it was]", and then suddenly there's an angry mob coming at that particular shack and my roommate is leading them all like "I'm sorry Nick, the reason you can't figure out who is behind all this [for some reason, in the dream hill/shack society, I was supposed to be some kinda detectivoid duder, totally on top of catching the killer] is because IT IS YOU", and suddenly I realize OMG I'M A WEREWOLF and I start turning all wolfman right then and there and dream-Teeny is like "dude, this is just a dream, you don't have to do this!". There was also something about this little wooden foot bridge over a river that seemed important, but fuck if I know.

i had a dream last night that chris and i were on a train going through germany and down into north africa. we were reading the route map and got very excited when we learned that the next-to-last stop in germany was near a castle where some freako sound artist had installed several hundred alarm systems as a kind of electroacoustic experiment. chris and i got off the train there and found a very posh, modern hotel in a small town. we were having a total blast until later that night, when the hotel became overrun with a busload of rambunctious mexican tourists. so we locked ourselves into our room, turned the radio up loud to drown them out, and spent the night singing along to '90s eurodance hits. i woke up before we got to the castle.

As I walk out of the store I realize I only have one cd in my hands and opposed to the 10000 I thought I bought.

Two ILX dreams in one night!

The first one was that Stevem had made Poptimism Ultramix CDs and they were available on the front cover of Teen Pop Hits! magazine and were suddenly the biggest thing in the country. Children were trading them like Pokemon and beating up other kids to steal theirs.

The second one involved myself, Carsmile, Tom, Isabel, Dave B, Stevem, Alix, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were in a big bus driving round some scary-looking mountains in Italy. Suddenly a car came round in the wrong lane heading straight for us and Carsmile (who was driving) had to swerve to avoid it and we went off the cliff edge and our van exploded in the snow. We were alright but then we remembered that we were being pursued by Nazis so we sent Stevem and Alix off. They got away but the Nazis had sent packs of ravenous dogs after us and we had to fight them off with pepper spray. I woke up at that point, but weirdly the dream was framed at the beginning with Carsmile and myself talking about what had happened in the office, so we clearly got away. No idea about the rest of you, sadly.

Weird Dream #3256

I dreamt I was at a FAP, I spent 10 minutes tying my shoe laces. No one seemed to know I was there, I spoke to Tom about something. Stevem challenged me to a game of pool, he was angry about something...the pool ball was red and really small and Steve just hit it off the table into a bin. There was a lot of mention of a girls name.

I took a cruise ship ride from Ohio to Richmond, VA - which is right next to NYC. (It only took about 2 hours.) I met up with some other non-ILX people. Chris V. made a brief appearance. I think he said something really off-color. Then on a bus ride across the Chicago River, Ally was talking about a FAP? in her client's hotel lobby which reminded me of "the" steak buffet (which does not serve choice cuts, as you can imagine.)

I then went to a glaze your own pottery studio, and hated it. Because the guy who works there did everything. I just told him what colors to use. And the best thing I could find was a pig - and all of its internal organs were showing. And anyway, I didn't care for the glazing technique, and I felt rushed to pick a piece of pottery - because there were other people waiting behind me at the glaze-your-own cafeteria.

Matthew Perpetua was in my dream last night. Apparently Martha Stewart was having some money troubles and needed to sell off some of her prized possessions and creations. But these were only being offered via a secret sale that you had to be a bigshot to find out about. Matthew knew about it, and tipped me off. The sale took place in the gift shop of one of those small Upper East Side museums. I thought Martha's jewelry was too gaudy and "mature" for my tastes, but I saw some clear-plastic pill bottles that were decorated with little beads and glitter and stenciled flowers. They looked like something you'd buy at Ricky's. I bought like a dozen of them.

Last night: I had to give Barima a ride from the Knoxville airport to my house, where he was crashing. He was wearing a kind of blue/red, argyle sweater vest and carrying a solitary, brown train case. My IRL friend Ben demanded to be in charge of Rima's travel money, shoving the cash greedily into his pockets. Rima said something like "Um, are you even sure of the amounts?" and Ben was like, "YES, TWENTY SEVEN IN THE FRONT POCKET AND FIFTY SEVEN IN THE BACK. I'VE GOT IT."

two weeks pass...

last night, i dreamt in was in the UK with my family for some middling Royal wedding. i kept wanting to get away to find a computer to see if any ilxors wanted to get a pint.

or, more importantly, to also see if any of them had Simon Pegg's or Nick Frost's number, and see if they wanted to get a pint too. I remember saying something like, "dammit, i know ONE of them knows how to reach those guys."

really.

tho this may have had something to do with watching the new Harry Potter & bootlegged Narnia trailers just before i went to sleep. With each new Potter flick, their haircuts get more & more mod/shaggy. One wonders if the Weasley twins will still be sporting their Keith Relf 'dos...

I was at school and half the class, with me included, got in trouble, serious trouble, yet I don't even know what it was. All I know was that we had to spend an hour after school and they weren't going to tell our parents. The funny thing was, that it was all the "good kids" that got in trouble.

Well, some how I snuck out and attempted to run home in the rain. But I suddenly remembered my knee is still twisted and slowed it down. Then all of a sudden I took a moment to think about something and changed directions. I began running away, towards downtown. Again, the fact that my knee is twisted slipped my mind. When I finally remembered, I slowed down. I waited at a stop light to cross the street. After I crossed the street I walked towards a pay phone. A man was on the phone, but I grab the phonebook, and without even looking at him, I said, "I'm just going to look in the phonebook." He continued talking on the phone and then left. He didn't hang up the phone. I picked it up and listened. Nothing but a dial tone.

So I began looking through the phonebook. I guess I was looking for the Hs but kept coming across, J, R, and G. Then when I came across O, the phonebook pages were full of pictures of birds and other wild life. I didn't get it. I left, and that was it.

I have know idea of what all that ment, but it was raining here earlier today. Maybe we'll get a new phonebook in the mail today.

This was a couple of months ago, but both in the same week.

1) I have to catch a plane from London back to Glasgow. SteveM is supposed to be driving me to the airport, but doesn't seem too fussed by the imminent departure time. In fact he decides to take a detour via his house just to 'pick something up' and I realise I will never get my plane. I hate SteveM.

2) There is some kind of network of walking tunnels under the streets of London, like the tube system for ramblers, with the same colour coding. Matt DC and I are wandering north to south. We pass through Piccadilly. I am having an OK time with MattDC. I hope we get to the pub, or somewhere.

Thanks ailsa :-/

So I'm talking about music with this guy I don't think I know. I'm spouting some guff about major chords/scales and power chords and this guy starts shouting at me that I have no concept of melody. I'm saying "I'll get to melody, give me a fucking minute" and he's as good as dismissed me - he half turns away from me and says "You can't call it music without melody".
Then I realise he's got a guitar. He picks up this brass slide, places it on the 3rd fret and starts strumming and saying "This is a G, this is a C, this is an F" and I'm shouting "THEY ALL SOUND THE SAME! FUCK MELODY THERE ISN'T EVEN A TUNE THERE" or something similar. He smiles, hands me the guitar and quietly says "Fine, you show me how to play an F then" and I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW. I'm fumbling my fingers all over the place and remembering a picture in a chord book that seems to suggest I need at least six fingers and the whole time I'm doing this I'm thinking "If I can't play this F properly I've lost the argument."

The next morning at breakfast I'm relaying this bizarreness to my wife and it isn't until I repeat the "You can't call it music without melody" line that I realise I HAVE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT GEIR HONGRO.

These explanations about dreams, are they in anyway correct? For instance, the dreams where your teeth rot or come out is supposed to mean you’re not happy with yourself physically. If they are remotely true, does anyone know what it means when animals keep biting you? It happens to me all the time.

From http://www.soulfuture.com/dream_dictionary/symbols_a/animal_dream_dictionary.asp

Being bitten or attacked by an animal may suggest feeling hunted, vulnerable or doubting your own strength

There are lots of lists of specific animals as well so you should look up whatever animals you dream of.

There is a school of thought that the animals represent different people in your life, particularly if you dream of a variety of animals attacking you.

(not that I necessarily believe any of it)

I started telling my brother about a recurring dream I'd been having lately and he finished the story off for me because he was having the EXACT SAME DREAM - kind of freaked me out tbh

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 12:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Some of the ones so far, panther, dog, cat, otter, rat, and finally, moose (?)

Bizarre to say the least. I’ll have a good look at the site, thanks.

I bet it freaked you out, your brother finishing your dream story. Are you a similar age?

a couple of months ago i had a dream that lots of us, ilx and non ilx, went ice-skating on a frozen lake in a city somewhere. it was a gorgeous day, bright and cold-cold, so everyone was glowing and breathing little puffs of steam like in cartoons. everyone looked like they normally do if i know them, or how they reasonably might look if i don't, except pink, who was a stream of computer data. i'm not sure how to explain it any more clearly. she looked beautiful swirling and twisting and gliding across the ice, mobius-like, and no one seemed to think there was anything unusual about it at all.

Haha - "Don't tell me! Don't tell me! AND THEN I CAME ON YOUR ASS!"

Somewhat disappointingly, it was about being at school and everyone except you knows the timetable and you know you've been at school for ages and should really have it mastered by now... (the bit where my brother takes over)... then you somehow work out that you're supposed to be in Physics but you can't remember where in the school the Physics rooms are.

What's *really* weird is that we both dreamt the same school subject. I left school 16 years ago, these anxiety type dreams should really be set in the workplace by now.

I am having a dream about being in some toilets quite a lot lately. In the dream I am aware that I don't actually need the loo, but for some reason I need to find a working toilet cublicle. Anyway, I walk into this cavernous and dingy toilet block, which is really huge, like 3 tennis courts worth of floor space. I walk about looking for a decent loo, but there's always something wrong with them - no door, no seat, no paper, full of water and stuff, blocked, overflowing or occupied. Plus they have weird partitions, with really low walls, or not enough wall, or there's 2 toilets in one cubicle. The cubicles are all odd shapes and it looks a bit like a shanty town made entirely of toilet cubicles.

I have no idea what this means, but I keep having it.

The other night I dreamt I was in McDonalds. While seated at a table and sipping my milkshake, I noticed that all of the customers lined up at the registers were in various states of undress. One guy was totally naked. I went up to the cashier and asked her to pass along a message to her manager about disallowing naked people from the dining area. After triumphantly returning to my table, one of the hairy, naked, food ordering guys sat at my table and said "I BET YOU WOULDN'T MAKE SUCH A REQUEST IF IT WERE JUSTIN GUARINI WHO WAS UNCLOTHED!"

Last night:

I found a second-hand bookshop just off the Strand. It stocked a series of books of walking tours of different areas of London, and the book covering the West End and Covent Garden featured a masonic and esoteric walk. "Ooh," I thought, "that would be ideal for an FAP." So I bought it.

a few days ago: i was crossing camden road whilst on the phone to roxymuzak, and i was telling her "i'm crossing the road just now" and i had to run across because there was a bus approaching, except also a Suzuki Vitara was overtaking another bus and i didn't see until too late and it ran me over.

it drove right over me and i think crushed a few limbs. (in reality the bottom of the car wouldn't have cleared my body obv. and i'd have been flattened rather than merely seriously injured) ouch ouch.

This morning, I attended the worldwide FAP in London. Well, don't be sad that you missed it; there were only 15 of us there. ken c didn't even bother to show up. We met in a dark, hotel lobby. No one was really talking to anyone else. You all are so fucking shy. Someone claiming to be Teeny came in, but she didn't look anything like her pictures. Somehow she knew my name without me telling her (Moderator knows ALL!) and she gave me a real cold fish handshake. Then we spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out what to wear to the FAP, which had already started. Everything I put on was dirty.

I was a little pissed off that I travelled so far for such a lame event. Since I just flew in for the day, it started to seem like kind of a waste of time.

last night i dreamt that most of the Chicago crew came to visit me in Worcester. Nick, Sarah, Kenan, John, Jocelyn and then Oops. I lived in a big apartment and they all showed up and wanted to go out to eat. Kenan was insisting we find a bakery because he wanted cake. He just kept going on about baked goods. We all were outside and I decided i needed to change my t-shirt and I went back inside only to find Kenan and Jocelyn in a rather compromising position so to speak. After rushing outside we all heard Kenan yell out "baaaaaaaked gooooods". Whatever that was supposed to mean. So then Nick decided he wanted to rent a car to go to Sbarro's and he was really mean to the lady behind the counter...he called her a fat lesbian because they didn't have the car he wanted. Then Oops showed up and revealed his real name to be Walter Cariglia. Nick yelled at him too. Well we all made it to Sbarro's which was actually not Sbarro's but a cool club where Nick and Sarahs band played and John joined them. At this point Kenan probably found his baked goods. The end.

This is what happens when you drink a lot of beer with ILXors right before you go to sleep: I dreamed that jaymc, jeff-PTTL, pullapartgirl, and I were in a Jurassic Park-esque theme park, filled with dinosaurs. Jaymc and I were walking and we saw this pack of dinosaurs that looked kind of like the raptors from the movie, except covered with fur that made them look kind of like doberman pinschers. They made us nervous, but apparently I was aware I was dreaming, because I told jaymc "If those things start to chase us, I'm going to wake myself up." Jaymc agreed that this was sensible.

... I had my first one ever last night! And Dave Boyle was in it!?!??! Why, I've no idea.

The only bit I remember was being in a band, or maybe auditioning for a band(?), I was playing guitar but no-one else appeared to have any instruments at all. It was decided we would play a song by _________ (I've forgotten who it was now), but I didn't know it so Dave Boyle said he'd show me how to play it. It consisted of hammering-on (to use a musical term) on all of the strings at the first fret of the guitar in a vaguely funky sorta way. When I came to play, I spent the first minute playing the machine head of the guitar before I realised my error, then I realised there was a change coming up and I said, "What do I do now, just keep chugging away on one chord?". And Dave Boyle said, "Yes, but the right one! A minor!" Then I kept coming in at the wrong bit - tho as no-one else was actually playing anything I don't know where the rest of the music was coming from. Towards the end of the song, I started to get this rather unpleasant controlled feedback thing going and then right at the very end I did this thing with the guitar and the feedback and it made a sound like a voice saying "Easy", and everybody was very disapproving, especially Dave!

My brother was standing next to me outside Forbidden Planet repeating "we are nowhere and it's now" to himself without stopping for breath. grimly fiendish passed and gave us a funny look, then muttered something and walked off down Buchanan Street. My brother told me I to follow him and find out if he was "one in control".

I chased grimly down the street and he told me to leave him alone. I said "first you must tell me... When are you? Where are you? What are you doing and why? When are you? Where are you? What are you doing and why? When are you? Where are you? What are you doing and why?"

He replied "It's Monday at 6pm I'm walking down Buchanan Street, going home because my work is done." To which I said "Ah, but don't you see at least 1 in 20 say that and still carry bottled water? You are One In Control!"

He laughed and disappeared into the St Enoch underground station.

I had a rather elaborate dream last night in which Elvis Presley was making an avant garde movie critiquing the United States.

The movie included accompaniment by an all-celebrity orchestra, and at one point I was watching Elvis train Cindy Crawford on the cello.

The visuals of the film included animations that were based on Frosted Flakes box (with Tony the Tiger, bright blue background, etc.) and text that would say things like, "America, The Good Guys!"

Later in the dream I complained to my friend that the film was "so OBVIOUS" and that Jim Jarmusch had already made practically the same film. I then suggested that Jarmusch should sue Elvis, which somehow in the dream was supposed to be a funny suggestion.

lots of ilxors in my dream last night! i don't remember the whole thing but it was a series of road trips that somehow converged into elvis telecom, ally, tombot, me, and some other guy all in the same car. the ally/tom stuff was weird because (a) one night they disappeared into the woods to fix a broken watch and tombot drew up all these very detailed mechanical blueprints that he didn't want anyone to find out about b/c it might mean DANGER (b) there was one night when everything got really intense b/c we saw a cop kill someone, and ally lost her shit inside a convenience store and started busting up the place. then elvis telecom, who was in a bad mood, hotwired another car that was in the parking lot, drove it into a tree death of a salesman-style, and killed himself.

so the rest of us went all vigilante on the evil cop (i forget what happened here but we didn't kill him). after that, we dispersed, and i ended up taking a greyhound bus home. hstencil was on the bus.

I had my first ILx dream last night - and it was quite a disturbing one too. I was sitting with Suzy outside a cafe in Kensington High Street and doing my usual whine about the lack of the love of a good woman, etc. Suzy said to me "You know, there is someone on ILx who is pretty crazy about you. She's very attracted to you but she's also a little scared of you." I said bemusedly, "Why scared? There's no need to be scared of me; you know what I'm like in real life." She said, "I know what you're really like, but she doesn't. So next time you see her at an FAP or Club FT, go and say hello to her, talk to her, be nice to her - you might be surprised at what you get in return!"

"Well I never. All right then - who is she?"

Then Suzy produced a folio of FAP-type photos, pointed to the ILxor in question and smiled at me "It's her. Are you surprised?"

It was like the end of Poirot. Always the one you least suspect.

"Good God, I would have thought that she'd be the last person who'd feel that way about me!"

"Come on MC, you two were made for each other, admit it!"

Dream ended at that point, but obviously I'm not going to say who it was or do anything about it in real life because, firstly, it was clearly a Freudian projection of a hitherto unrealised crush. Also I have no idea whether the ILxor in question is spoken for in real life, and I think it would be a very dangerous path to pursue (it's not an obvious ILxor by any means; certainly not one who posts very often or very prominently, but it kind of shocked me).

I need to get out more.

Last night:

I offered to come up to London again, to go to a club (not one of the ilXOr clubs like FATS, Seal or Popular/FT though) but Martin Skidmore was insistent that London would come to Bristol instead. In the end there was about twenty of us*, and decided to go to Espionage at the Thekla. While waiting in the queue some local kids started lobbing clods of earth at us from the roof of the restaurant next door - Matt DC decided to lob one back and cracked the window of the restaurant. The bouncers then ushered us in and had us wait in the cloakroom** until the police turned up (though strangely they let us buy drinks in the meantime). They took statements but didn't pursue it because it was too much effort and we danced the night away. I snogged one of our party*** just before I woke up.

** The cloakroom was not that of the Thekla (which I'm not even sure has one), but of a very large theatre.

***I have had two, much ruder, dreams about this person recently which is why I have kept them anonymous. I am beginning to find it disconcerting.

I had a dream about Shimura Curves last night! They were playing at a big Poptimism festival we were throwing, although for some reason they had my brother as a fifth member on keyboards. Loads of Ilxors were milling about and dancing and I was supposed to DJ, but had to apprehend a murderess backstage who was trying to kill Tom. Every time I got near her, two girls who'd been fighting over me because I'd been seeing both of them at once kept getting in the way, but I eventually shook them off and pushed the murderess into the Thames, then escaped on a boat.

I think the Shimura Curves song playing in the dream was Elephants.

I had a nightmare last night. Around half of London ILx were involved and it took place at a FAP in a building that was half Sam Smith's pub and half stately home. I was stuck in a typically nightmareish situation and harly anyone would or could help me and I was crying and crying ande embarrassed about making a huge scene, but I couldn't stop. I remember Cis being unable to stand up or speak (through odd forces, not drink) and just smiling helplessly at me over a table. Suzy refused to talk to me about anything other than superficial chit chat. She was sitting opposite a woman in some kind of uniform and at first I thought Suzy was helping her wind wool, but actually the woman was tying Suzy's wrists together. Every time Carsmile Steve came to talk to me the floor moved and pulled him away. Stevem and Kate wouldn't or couldn't turn and face me. William BS was very sweet and pointed out a door I could get through (although, for reasons best known to dream William, he had dyed his hair a bizarre bright ginger colour.)Matt DC eventually got me out of the main room, but the house carried on in these endless corridors. I was just about to get out and I woke up. I'd been crying inmy sleep and now I have the kind of headache that gives.

i had a dream the other night where ckb and i were somewhere on the gulf coast, stumbling through the remains of an amusement park/historical theme park that had been ravaged by time and weather (pre-katrina, but post-katrina as well obv). we there there for a long time and met a guy who showed us all the weird things that the tide pulled ashore -- a dead pig being one of them (he tried to make bacon with it but it was spoiled). there were other people hanging around there, on the abandoned rides, in the games booths... seedy-looking down-in-the-mouth guys with metal detectors and drug paraphernalia and whatnot. i half-expected them to say "warriors, come out and play-eee-yay."

I'm going to start referring to certain current events as "occult forces" from now on, as it would explain a lot. ;-)

With really scary dreams like that, I find it helps to analyse them, break them down, and then find a way to laugh at the stress behind it. It strips the dreamfear of its power.

First ILX dream EVAH and it was horrid. Dream opens with me being told that my wedding is being moved up for convenience and it's going to take place within DAYS. I don't feel ready but by this time all the preparation is done and it would cost too much to cancel, although for some reason most of the festivities are excised, so no dress, no dinner, no celebration.

There's also no honeymoon so the next thing I know I've been packed off by new husband to live with his parents in some Pennsylvania farm town where no one knows that I smoke and I just KNOW that everyone will disapprove of me, they will hate me, and my husband (who never has a name or a face) won't even come home, I'm just there to learn to fit into his family's lifestyle. BUT THE ILX PART is that somehow this guy is a friend of ALLY & TOM'S, he and Tom work together or something, and we're all living together in the basement of this ranch house, sleeping in a row of twin beds like some kind of fucking orphanage, and Ally is the only good thing in my life, the only person who hasn't already passed judgement.

So yeah, thanks a LOT for introducing me to someone who would ship me off, keep me out of sight, etc. Some friends YOU TWO ARE.

I dreamed recently that I finally hooked up with Mutya from the Sugababes and we had this fanatstic relationship where we took the piss out of each other constantly, had great "chemistry" and I was the perfect father to her mondo adorable baby daughter, but The Lex ultimately renounced his friendship with me because he kept objecting over Mutya having a post-birth sex life or something (just like in real life).

I had a dream the other night that I was in America and I went to visit some friends in the middle of a desert and it turned out that we were staying at Allyzay's house. Her father owned a zoo/safari park type thing out the back yard, and we sat and looked at hippos and alligators and bears running around. Then someone showed me a magazine, a sort of Hello! type thing, and it was full of glamorous pictures of an engagement party and it was Tombot and Allyzay, all glamorous and Hello!-magaziney.

So apparently my subconscious is on a roll with the ILXness cos the other night I dreamt that Carly and I were tired from walking around town and she was feeling bloo so we ducked into a nearby cafe to rest & cheer up. Unfortunately, in a twist from the "why'd the NYC diner kick us out for ordering fries?" thread, it was NO CAFE but in fact Anthony Bourdain's new (imaginary) restaurant and we couldn't stay unless we ordered serious food. Fortunately there was a prix fixe menu with an Argentine-themed option for $30 a head; meal consisted of a cut of beef and a cottage loaf of homemade bread. No veg, apparently!

At some point the Nick Lowe song "So It Goes" was played in the restaurant (which was empty but for us) and AB was favorably impressed that both Carly and I sang along -- so he sent a bottle of champagne to our table, and it tasted like strawberries. That's all I remember.

Last night I dreamed that I was a character in some sort of mid-nineties Bill Cosby crime/mystery drama. Luna and I had been taken captive by the villain and were being held in an apartment. The captivity was actually not very strict. We never saw the villain or any real signs of captivity. Mostly we just sat in the living room and ate cookies and chatted, and every now and then Vanessa Huxtable would show up to tell us how Cosby was coming along with solving the crime. Still, Luna seemed a little worried about the whole thing, because her son had just contracted a rare form of bellybutton lice, and she needed to take him to the doctor. She seemed embarrassed about telling me this, so I lied and said that I too had suffered from bellybutton lice, and that it was no laughing matter.

Then a bunch of my middle school friends came over to help formulate an escape plan. We went out into a garage and built a giant hardwood canoe-on-wheels, which we used to batter through the rear wall of the apartment and roll away down the back slope. When we hit the one obstacle along the way -- a big curb -- I activated the special wheelie-popping device we'd installed in the canoe, and we made it over successfully. But then I looked behind me, and noticed that Nick and Brian and I were the only ones who hadn't been jounced out of the canoe by the impact. So after a long argument about it, I convinced Nick and Brian to ignore Bill Cosby (who was up on the next hillside with a bunch of police vans, waving us to safety) and we went back toward the building to search for Luna and the others.

Last night: I was standing around, wading in a broad stream, with Marcello and a crowd of other people. I was excited to finally see what Marcello looks like, and found that he's rather handsome, much better-looking than Ken Stott. We were standing at the mouth of a culvert, and Marcello was persuading people (mostly women) to walk through the culvert with him to talk about pop music, promising loudly that "WHAT GOES ON IN THE CULVERT, STAYS IN THE CULVERT". Eventually he persuaded some and set off; after a while I sneaked in after them, and found that they were walking round in circles in the dark, still talking about pop music.

Ronan O'Gara
POSITION: Fly-half
COUNTRY: Ireland
INTERNATIONAL CAPS: 52
LIONS CAPS: 0

A touring Lion in 2001, making two midweek appearances, O'Gara will look to make the step up from the bench to win his first cap this summer despite stiff competition in the fly-half ranks.

That is something the Munster man has not avoided in the past, indeed he has been a part of a see-saw battle for the Ireland No 10 shirt down the years with David Humphreys.

The San Diego-born O'Gara has certainly been winning the fight of late though, being the first-choice since impressing in last year's Six Nations as he helped Ireland win the Triple Crown.

O'Gara shot onto the European stage in the 2000 Heineken Cup as he inspired Munster to the final - and the Irish selectors sat up and took notice.

He was frustrated by injuries and a loss of form in the summer of 2002, allowing Humphreys to edge him out of the Ireland side, but now he is back firing on all cylinders.

A solid goal-kicker, probably only Jonny Wilkinson is better, and a shrewd playmaker, it is great to see the Munster man back where he belongs – on the biggest stage of all.

My car got a flat on the Kingston Bridge so Ned Raggett, ailsa, Madchen and I had to walk along the motorway and into the city centre to get to a shoe shop. On the way I came up with
Some tyres are fat,
some tyres are thin,
some stop you skidding,
others help you win
Ned laughed and said we should start an ILM thread "Songs about car parts" and I said that that sounded like a shite idea. Ned said "Heavens!" and we all laughed that Ned said "Heavens!" in real (dream) life.
When we got to the shoe shop ailsa and Madchen were buying matching red plimsoles then everyone magically changed into some of my old school friends when I wasn't looking.

The ILX dreams are coming thick and fast right now. This one is especially random. I dreamt that Dadaismus was marrying a younger version of the actress that played Blanche in the Golden Girls. He was only doing this to hide the fact he was gay from his upper-crust family of Highland Lairds. No, Dada, I have no idea why you appeared in my dream in this frankly baffling form.

There was another one a month or so ago where I'd gone to Texas with my Dad for my Uncle's second wedding to some woman we didn't know. I was worried we'd get caught up in the hurricane. We were driving towards a huge isolated city in the 'desert' and then stopped at a diner to find Pete, Tom and his wife within and I realised I was also there for Chris and Vicky getting re-married even though they were already married.

i was back at my old house with my mum, she had bought a new couch set for the lounge. The couch was covered in a pattern of sand and pebbles. When I asked her why she had bought such a bizarre colour she told me she had seen it on a web site. And she showed me ilx which only had 3 unread messages, but they weren't messages at all in fact it wasn't even a web site it was just 3 sections of sand and pebbles each representing a seperate chair. We were both amazed at how similar the colours were between ilx and the new chairs. I remember staring at the patterns and being mesmorized.

I had a terrifying and horrible dream last night that had two parts:
Part One:
Pullapartgirl, Jeff-PTTL and I were wandering around this huge indoor festival in a convention center that was also full of caves and cold, dank places to sit. We were waiting for a surprise show that we had been invited to that would include Guided By Voices and Steve Malkmus' new "Band of Plants." We waited and waited and no one ever showed up, so we left. This part was sort of long and boring.

Part Two:
I went home and I was there relaxing on the couch with my hubs and one of our dogs and for some reason Jeff was still there. He was talking in the bathroon when there was a loud knock on the door and 6 people walked in, male and female, and they announced that they were going to kill us. There was a Christmas movie playing on TV that featured singing pieces of asparagus. Jeff suggested I take a butcher knife and slit the throats of our would-be assailants, so I killed them all, one by one. When we had about 6 dead bodies on the floor Jeff said "Well, I better go -- see you guys later" and we had a huge argument about whether or not it was his idea to kill the people and whether or not he owed it to us to help us clean up the mess. The asparagus started singing again and I woke up.

I was going through Boston, so I stopped in to see Ned Raggett. (It's a dream.) He tried to sell me some CDRs, calling them "Test Pressings"... But then I did ask if he had any LPs he was trying to sell off .. he did, but they were mostly horrible, except for a 2LP version of Solid Gold which I didn't even bother to look at to see what was on disc 2. But he coerced me into buying a Los Lobos record called "The Sun" and a fIREHOSE CD that I already own. Together, they were $10. I opened up my wallet and he snatched two fives out .. and then he took out a twenty and said, "I'll get you change for this" .. He changed it for $6 and a bunch of cookies. Individually wrapped, Little Debbie cookies - presumably valued at $1 each. I asked for a bag to put the cookies in. At first he gave me a ziplock freezer bag, but then as I started loading it with cookies, I noticed that it was actually an old sofa pillow with the stuffing taken out.

Seemed like it took forever to get out of that place. Do not visit Ned at his Boston home.

last night i was involved in a scene from grand theft auto. i was in a parking lot and stole a 85 monte carlo and was driving like a maniac to get away from the cops. in the passenger seat suddenly appeared Dan and he was frantic screaming out "kill the children". We made a quick turn into Umass Hospital parking lot and I ran out of the car and decided to hide in the hospital where i could blend in with all the people. the cops were right on my tail with the owner of the monte carlo in tow. i ducked into a booth and peeked my head out and suddenly Pleasant Plains spotted me and explained that I had stolen his monte carlo. I pleaded with him to let me free and he was beginning to soften up his stance and told me he wouldn't press charges against me. Alas, i decided he was lying and grabbed him by this huge beard he had and swung him into a bathroom stall and proceeded to kick him in the face. i woke up.

Dan Perry was in my dream last night, though I didn't see him -- he spoke to me through the tinted rear window of a white SUV, slowly following me as I walked down the sidewalk on my street.

At one point, the window rolled down a bit and Dan handed me an envelope that contained something very important, but I don't remember what it was now -- some information that was vaguely sexual, I think, but also esoteric & mystical.

Last night I dreamt that Onimo turned up at my house extremely drunk with two hospitality tickets for some crap Second Division football match that I had no interest in going to and insisted he'd got them specially because he knew I wanted to go. He seemed so pleased with himself. Thing was, I'd been discussing with my husband how it looked like the worst match ever and why would anyone want to go, then Onimo just sort of materialised in my living room, I hadn't let him in or anything. What was especially weird was that I could actually *smell* the alcohol - I've had dreams that have translated into real life (waking up crying, phone ringing in dream = phone ringing in real life etc) but I've never noticed a *smell* manifesting itself in dreamworld.

last night i dreamt that i was at a hockey game. (i often dream about hockey.) it was at an outdoor rink and the pittsburgh penguins were playing the montreal canadiens. the penguins were wearing blue sweaters, which they haven't done in 25 years. the rink was enormous, and the teams were playing like 11 a side.

the canadiens were absolutely killing the penguins, not least because bob from that 70's show was the pens' starting center. then i realized that ken c (whom i too have never met) was playing defense for the canadiens. after the game i went to the restroom and found ken washing up. i said, "hi ken! what's up with chu?" he didn't know i was an ilxor and we stared at each other uncomfortably until the piped-in music changed to the first song off that arcade fire record. and then i woke up.

eugh, a rubbish one over christmas. i dreamed i was at warp for a meeting about shimura curves because they were thinking of signing them, but the warp hq was this weird corporate monolith place where everyone wore suits and everything was very spartan. the meeting wasn't with steve, it was with a japanese guy in a suit. we sat opposite each other across a small table in a small room with one wall made entirely of window. my chair was a normal office chair except when i looked down it was on a pole which stretched a hundred metres down into a white-lit pit, but there was a see-through floor at normal floor-height relative to me, so it wasn't like i was going to fall. i was increasingly uncomfortable in this situation and the guy was explaining - quite curtly, like a teacher talking to a five-year-old who's done something wrong - that warp really wasn't the right place and i really wouldn't want them to be signed to them, and saying "do you see? do you? and do you agree?" a lot. i mumbled something about knowing what he meant and got up to leave, and he said he'd give me five minutes to think about it anyway. i went to the toilets and the belgian was there and she was wearing the same skirt as me. we agreed it wasn't a good place. i went back to the meeting room and the guy was still there and ned was in the chair i'd been sitting in, then when the guy saw me he pulled a lever that pulled the floor out from under the chair and tipped the chair forward so ned fell off and fell a hundred metres. they said they'd done it to prove this wasn't the sort of organisation i wanted to be involved with, but when i said i'd already realised that and there wasn't any need to start killing my friends to prove it, he just shrugged. then they took the belgian and me outside and we were in a massive dark carpark that stretched for miles in every direction and we couldn't work out how to get home.

I was in a weird house in Finland. Some dude was showing me round, I think he was actually Tuomas' brother - he took me through the secret entrance to Tuomas' room - it materialized! There was a fish tank in there, and we fed the fish - they turned into lizards and got out, and had a fight, my cat was sitting on a chair and ran off. There was a locked door in the room and an old bike.

Later, I was looking through the house, and you could just walk in on the people next door. I said something like "it's so communal here!". I enquired about house prices in Finland - £24,000 apparently!

Had a dream which had a Beach Boys album in it last night. I woke up and wrote some of it down, then went back to sleep. It was an eighties album. It had ten tracks on it. The first track was one of their old songs, the second was called something like "Really Back" (referring I take it to the fact that Brian Wilson was back in the band) - it was 0:00 long. What else? Oh they do version of The Who's "Tommy Can You Hear Me?" on there, this is 0:30 long (for some reason the lengths of the songs have stuck in my brain). Fourth track on Side One is an epic, an eight minute track called "The Grand". But there's another 8 minute track which closes the album, this one's called "Coconut Buffin'". Highlight of the album has to be Side two, track one, a collaboration with 70s funk legend Johnny 'Guitar' Watson (and 'his Crew'), a song called "Rain and Shine or 1 of a Git".

Last night in my dreams, there was a Glasgow FAP (in my dad's local in Spain, but that's neither here nor there) featuring me, Madchen, Stet, Grimly Fiendish, Onimo, Aldo and, erm, Sir Jimmy Savile. Sir Jim was very well-versed in everyone's private life, having read a number of threads on ILE, which seemed to not surprise anyone at all.

I have been watching too much TMWRNJ this weekend, and this exchange keeps going through my head:

Sir James of the Saville: But ask yourself this aldo, who is the real sick man? Is it the repected, cigar-smoking marathon runner, who does a lot of good work for charity, who just happens to like dressing up in his dead mother's clothes and pretending to be her, and who might have once taken her dead body home, talked to it for a week till the sexual frustration got too much, then rubbed his winkie all over her face before masturbating to climax all over her lusful face just like she always wanted me to but daren't ask because of the supposed conventions of 'normal' society? Or is it the businessman... in his suit and tie... despoiling the memory of Mother England by sometimes charging a little bit more than he really should, if he thought about it?
aldo: Well it's the first one, isn't it? It's the shellsuit-wearing, jewellery-jangling, aging incestuous lothario with the dangerous maternal rape fantasies. It's him, isn't it? You didn't think it through.
Sir James of the Saville: CURSE YOU GOD FOR MAKING ME THIS WAY!

Coincidentally, I've just remembered that after the hott snogging session in my dream, me and everyone I was with arrived in Glasgow by train - but ended up trapped in a room somewhere in Central Station with the staff refusing to let us out. And then, I woke up.

This is all a bit hazy, but I dreamt that someone I knew (maybe another ILXor) had dressed up as Pleasant Plains and looked uncannily like him, right down to the goatee.

I had two ILX dreams in one night! The first one was that something mocking I'd posted on a grime thread caused the MC in question to come and get me and he had Jess with him, except Jess had a cockney accent and baseball cap and was carrying a bb gun. Anyway, I remember I had to run away and somehow the story got picked up by the Sun or something and kickstarted a race war. Half the people in London wanted to kill me so myself and my family fled to Ontario. I swear this ended with me actually sitting bolt upright in bed in a cold sweat.

Then I went back to sleep and dreamt that I was at London FAP and an old lady got killed, and everyone in the pub was a suspect. Then we found out the murderer was actually Andrew F.

I think this is evidence I'm not utilising my brain enough this week.

Last night I dreamt I went to Ronan's funeral! Only the thing was, Ronan was there too. He'd expected the problems with his nose to kill him and had organised his funeral in advance, then decided to go ahead with it anyway to see what people would say about him. Then I went home and posted on the ILX Ronan Memorial Thread, and he kept responding with 'I DIDN'T LIKE ELECTROHOUSE I LIKED MINIMAL OKAY?!!"

That was even weirder than a couple of weeks ago when I dreamt I'd donated my right testicle to Andrew Farrell so he could sire children, then he returned it in a highly ungrateful manner.

A couple nights ago:

(back story: in starting to prepare for a course I have to teach in the spring, I was looking into Abraham Cahan's book The Rise of David Levinsky)

I'm in a field somewhere, and there's a stand-up comedy show, and the comic is David Levinsky. I'm troubled at this prospect, because I didn't realize it was happening, and I feel like I should see it to prepare for said course. I move up close and I see that 'David Levinsky' is none other than Tracer Hand, whom I've met all of once. I don't remember if he was funny, as I was preoccupied with my anxiety as to whether I was 'prepared'.

A couple of weeks ago, I dreamt that I was walking near Tottenham Court Road tube, and I spotted a little pet shop with a big sign that said: ONIMO. I went in, because, of course, it was Onimo's pet shop. He was annoyed at having to stay late (at the pet shop), but told me he would come out to the pub later.

Last night, Teh Kit. He was behind the counter of a shop too. That's all I remember, though.

The other night I dreamt this:

I had taken the kids on holiday and we were staying at a big house somewhere in central Europe with Ally & Tom. Ally and I went down in the morning to make some breakfast and we both wanted chips but there were no potatoes - it was then I remembered that I had dreamt (yes, within the dream) of a soaking wet Tom carrying Charlie in his arms before collapsing and I was sure it was linked somehow to us going out to buy potatoes. After a bit of discussion I somehow managed to persuade her that this was actually going to happen (I think I told her that Tom died in my dream, but I can't really remember) and we didn't go out to the shops - instead we kept Tom and Charlie in our sight all day to make sure nothing happened. In the early evening they started glowing before disappearing. God then whispered in my ear that they were supposed to die and I had spoiled his plan "you selfish bastard" so he destroyed the world in a fit of pique.

Last night I dreamt that myself and Jon Williams moved to the country to run a pub. The only thing was, we didn't have any food for the customers so we went out into the woods out the back to capture a pig. When we got it back to the pub we were at a total loss as to what to do with it so I gave Porkpie a call and he came over and killed it, then we roasted it on a spit and served it to the punters.

The actual pig-killing bit was kinda graphic. I think it shat itself at one point.

I killed them by "shooting" them with my bare hands - i.e. pointing index fingers and going "bang!". They all "died" without a fuss except for Nikki/Jessica, who was really surly and like "I'm not dead just cos you pointed your finger and went 'bang!' at me". Then I had to report back to my superior officer, who was Louis Jagger, sitting on the floor of my girlfriend's parent's living room, playing Dungeons & Dragons with two teenage girls.

This is fucked up, but anyway. I was living in an ornate Italian garden with Drew Daniel. It was very formal with a lot of marble statues and we shared an underground appartment, which was actually quite nice when you were in it and had massive dome skylights, but you had to get in through a potting shed. The light was always very bright and it was baking hot. We got a couple of tourists, but no one really came around much. Drew was in charge of the upkeep of the gardens and I was staying there as a part of some kind of rehab. One day I met my boyfriend (it was my IRL boyfriend, but in the dream I'd never met him before) and we started seeing each other. I got pregnant. Drew was wildly disaproving and stopped speaking to me. Then Martin Schmidt turned up and they were whispering with Martin breaking out into "you have to TELL HER!" Drew took me to one side and explained that my boyfriend was actually my long-lost brother and the child would be deformed. At that point I freaked out and woke up.

NB: That day I had been reading some columns written by Drew for the website I work for. There are no other explanations for this terrifyng mental chain of events.

So last night in my dream I was listening to some npr-style talk radio show, and the sage voice was talking admirably of Matt DC (whom he referred to as 'Mr DC'), and how he had stood up on ILX that day about some pressing issue (I, of course, do not remember the issue at hand; it was probably about someone being an asshole). So, having missed this, I duly went to the thread in question, and clicked on the 'Today' button (in my dream, long threads had a 'today' button at the top of the page, that, when clicked, would immediately scroll you down to the first new answer entered that day). There, someone had bombed the thread with an endless number of horizontal lines. Then it was tons of images. Then lots of random imdb biographies. But then, I got to Matt DC's post, and he was, indeed, quite sensible about whatever it is he was talking about.

So in the dream I was a mixtape DJ.

The local alt weekly said that my tapes were "innovative, and driving the local hip-hop scene in a more creative direction."

Then someone on ILX called me BIG HOOS aka the scenedriver.

Whoa, I was watching the news and it turned out Kathleen Turner was linked to 9/11. They showed this diagram with a photo of Osama Bin Laden----a photo of Mohammed Atta----a photo of Kathleen turner.

The weirdest thing is that I don't even think Kathleen Turner has crossed my mind in the last five years or more.

I finally has an ILX dream!

I dreamt that some distant cousins of mine were weird cultish Mountain Gotes groupies. I met them at a family reunion and I was fascinated. They were kind of surprised that I had no knowledge of the MG's (which I don't, IRL). I told them that JD was on a 'message board' that I frequented; they were non-plussed. I asked what the most popular/recognizable MG song was and they said 'Tiny Bubbles' and I was like "Oh yeah I know that song!" I think this means JD is going to die soon.

So, the England football team's assistant manager has been murdered, and "Steady" Michael Jones, PI, is on the case. I am his loyal and eager sidekick. Michael believes Sven Goran Ericsson is the perp, but can't prove it on current evidence. And what's the link to the CEO of Britain's biggest producer of male grooming equipment? Luckily, when interviewing a female long distance runner in an industrial complex, I notice that the male grooming corporation has its head offices in the very place the body was found! The female runner then heads off for a lap of the complex, leaving us to ruminate on the discovery.

I had a dream that aliens left these disc things on the ground all over earth that looked like giant refresher sweets. People started picking them up and eating them like cakes, then they'd fall into a reverie where whatever fantasy or dream they'd always secretly had, they'd live it out in their heads, thinking they were living a perfect life. All the while everybody else is having to look after all these victims because they just lie around drooling, locked into their imaginary world.

Then one guy finds out what is happening, that the whole thing is an evil Triffids type plot to conquer the earth. So he leads humanity in a victory against the aliens, finds an antidote for the coma-fantasy drug discs and returns everything back to normal... Then you find out that was just his fantasy and he'd eaten one of the drug discs himself!

Pretty cheesy, but I was quite impressed that I basically got to watch an entire TV-show in my dreams with a plot, characters and a suprise ending.

look at this picture of me trapped on a horse-drawn cart with people i don't like!

also, i dreamed that it turned out deathmetal group graveland was actually an ilxor's secret home recording project. to complete the illusion, he'd send the tapes to a friend in poland who would then market them from there.

I don't normally remember my dreams, but I've had some odd ones recently.
In one dream I was at a party, and was introduced to a person I know and their gay partner, but IRL I know they're not gay. Also at the same party, I met Robert H3inl3in on the stairs.
In another dream, I was in the bathroom, and the window was open, and the person in the flat above was trying to swing a tortoise tied to a rope through the window. Once the tortoise was inside, the shell exploded and it turned out to be a robot.
I'm wondering if either of these dreams could be due to ILX being offline for upgrades?

He left a note reminiscent of the one Mark Asprey leaves the narrator in the beginning of London Fields ("You don't understand, do you my talentless friend? It doesn't matter what anyone writes anymore. The truth doesn't matter and is not wanted."). Then I chose to go through a mazelike treasure-hunt game in some kind of cloister.

Following on from my bizarre sex dream which involved two women and Dom on the top of a bus (and I want to make it clear that the sex occurred after Dom had left but it was Dom who introduced me to the women so thanks for that) last night I dreamt that I had stumbled on Tombot's great grandfather, a man called Tombotti, who was (according to my dream)a lifeboat coxswain in a small village in somewhere in England that I was walking through (in my dream), there was a memorial to his bravery, but when I read about him in the village hall it turned out that although he was legendary for his daring and indeed died in WW1 doing some brave thing, he was also well know for his explosive temper.

If it turns out that Tom's great grandfather was a lifeboatman I will be seriously freaked out.

I was in Dallas County jail, which in my dream was merely the top floor of a high end mall. Those of us in-the-know inmates knew how to breach security to access the lower floors during free time. I happened upon a large, friendly-looking green robot with a "Tracer Hand '08" sign tacked to the side of its motorized tracks. It was obviously just a costume and it was furry and had a pleasant demeanor. Somewhere around the chest was a sign telling em to push a button for more info. I did, and a Matchbox car was deposited out of a slot underneath the button. The car was wrapped in some literature which I didn't read. Instead I asked "Are you Tracer Hand?" and the Hand himself pulled off the head of his costume and lo and behold. I told him I though he lived in NYC or Engoland or somewhere and he said no, he was born and raised in Dallas. He asked how I knew of him and I said something vague about the internet, not really caring to go so far as mentioning my ILX affiliation or screen name. Ha, I just remembered TH was sipping from a bottle of MD 20/20 Orange Jubilee and sweating a bit. He also expressed interest in checking out the new several-thousand sq ft Madden Superstore dedicated to all things Football and/or EA Sports. Most of my dreams are not this weird.

i had a dream that i was making coffee and then my roomies were talking about jergins having gotten mugged and asked me to ask him something, and i was like 'huh? you know jergins?' and they said, 'yeah, he's the guy that uploads all the funny stuff to that world music thread!' so i assumed they were ire googlers/lurkers but secretly had a giant fear that they knew all about my ilx life.

I decided to get a PhD in literature at a North Carolina university AT THE SAME TIME as getting my JD in New York. I was going to commute back and forth every day (like straight from class to class). The NC university had a campus that looked like a woodsy summer camp, and there were herds of moose roaming the premises.

I am auditioning to be vocalist for a grindcore band. I am on a small stage in a spotlight. I look behind me and Grady gives me a goofy wave from his seat behind the drum kit. He counts a fast 4 and the sounds of scary quick guitar & bass come roaring out of the darkness around me. I do my bit, shrieking lyrics off the page of notebook paper I've removed from my pocket. They go something like this:

i speak you hear but don't overstand me
eardrums cracked like dry earth rupture

etc

The song ends. I'm sweating. I drop the mic and there's a squall of feedback.

Last night I had a lengthy and elaborate dream in which Latebloomer and I had to present a two-page poem (later, it was just a paper) about John Lennon to a college class. I lost my notes, and LB gave me his, which were a jumbled mess. I struggled to remember my opening line, and the professor says "talk about how he's a Marxist!" I said "you're making a joke!" The class turned into a battleground with people climbing up to the ceiling and hanging off to escape the carnage, and I ate a piece of fried chicken out of a stryrofoam container.

Last night I had a very real dream that Estela and I were doing some arts and crafts activity in a church, gluing things to other things. She looked a lot like Annabella Lwin. I had to use the restroom so I went out in the hall to look for it. There were four or five different ones, most of which looked like cruising spots of the future (steam, neon lights, muscular dudes). I finally found a normally looking women's restroom but it said something like "Aurgabalus Wilte" above the door. I ran back to Estela and said, "In Australia, is the ladies' room called 'Aurgabalus Wilte'?" She laughed and gave me a piggyback ride to the actual women's restroom (which was called something like "Maurtouly Gaybe").

I asked Trayce if she knew this record by Aussie band Deckchairs Overboard that I posted to my blog awhile ago. She said she had the record but couldn't get to it right now or something.

I beamed down to find he was being guarded by the headmaster and a sports trainer dude, so I was chatting away in an unconvincing pretence of being a school inspector, except after a while I realised the sports trainer dude was Tombot doing some other secret agent business, so I was trying to determine if we were working in the same direction or not, and then we were both FOUND OUT and we were going to kidnap the prince and escape before dawn, and then I woke up

And then it turned out everyone was staying overnight but I hadn't brought any blankets and I didn't know where to sleep and I still couldn't find my boyfriend. Somewhere in the middle of trying not to have a break-down, I woke up. Today of course I am about this <-> close to tears at any given moment thanks to dreaming of abandonment.

* Watched "Ghost World" last night. Woke up this morning after having a dream that a friend of mine had actually played the Buscemi part. Remember thinking, "How weird is it that ___________________ was in a movie with Scarlett Johanson?"

* Visiting someone in St. Louis and they have a Like soda machine in their basement. Friend gives me a can and it's one of those weird 8 oz squatty cans. "Remember how small the cans were?" he asks. "No, I don't remember them being like this at all," I reply.

Last night I dreamt Dan Perry and I went bowling. Midway through someone came in and told him his grandma had really fucked things up by just changing the admissions standards for public colleges in Minnesota. They grumbled about it for a long time and I didn't really understand, it was all about people & places I didn't know. I went to go get us beers, not knowing how else to fill the time, and at the register was a People magazine w/him and his grandma on the front. "DAN PERRY MAD AT GRANDMA," the headline said. I came back w/cans for everyone and told Dan he was on the cover of People magazine. "I didn't know you were famous enough to be on the cover of a People magazine!" I said. "Yeah, well there's a LOT you don't know about me," he said.

Bout five hours ago:

I was partaking in some sort of spiritual powwow with roxymuzak, a pretty well-known critic who used to post on ILX, and some other folk. Someone said that if you just concentrate on the person in front of you, then their thoughts will appear in script floating above their heads. So we were all devoting our attention to roxymuzak and apparently we were having trouble reading her thoughts because she told us "Ok, I'm thinking about The Smiths." And immediately someone said "Yes! And you're thinking about a Smiths book!" "Right. But it's not a book with words exactly," she explained. Then I said "I got it! You're thinking of a songbook. And the songbook is....Hatful of Hollow!" "You got it!" Script never appeared floating above her head.

I should mention that the scene was exceedingly warm, fuzzy, and peaceful.

Monday morning: I was showing J0hn D. down to a north shore-style beach, something like Manly, but we got distracted by Huey Lewis playing a free concert on an elevated reserve on the promenade. Lewis was chunky, mulletted and slightly balding. He was backed by Ben Lee, playing drums on a kit made entirely of chlorine buckets of varying sizes. The whole scenario confused me so much that I woke up.

Last night I dreamed I was invited to Abbott's birthday party, among some other ILXors. However, I couldn't afford to fly to USA, which made me sad. Abbott was at the airport waiting for the other overseas guests to arrive, and they were all pretty surprised when I came there anyway. I told them that I couldn't afford the plane ticket, but I was using some sort of state of the art technology to project a holographic image of myself across the Atlantic Ocean. Everyone thought it was weird, but they were still happy that I could attend the party this way. I remember that I too thought this technology was kinda weird, as it allowed me too see and interact with thing on another continent. We drove to Abbott's house, it was very picturesque, I think it looked a bit like the house the Moomins live in Tove Jansson's Moomin books. I can't remember much about the party itself, except that it was fun. At some point, when most of the guests had already left, Abbott lead the ones who were still there to the attic. The attic looked exactly like some other attic I've dreamed of years ago, but I can't remember where I've seen it before. I think we smoked some weed at the attic, but the reast of the dream is very blurry, I can't remember much more.

I dreamed that Grady showed up at this open house benefit that is happening in real life this Saturday. He was just standing in the doorway waving, and then came up gave me a hug. I said "What are you doing here?" He said, "I saw on facebook that you needed an extension cord, so I thought I would bring you one," and indicated the extension cord with a gesture; it was sitting coiled up on a nearby couch. I laughed and introduced him to a friend saying "this is my friend Grady." He laughed and extended his hand to the friend saying "actually my real name is Michael Gradient."

Had a dream I was at a BBQ with Whiney G Weingarten in a suburb somewhere. Our parents were there, relatives. It was like a family picnic almost? We were the cool younger kids. Turns out my mom(!?!?) wanted us to go pick up some weed for the party "from a nice old woman at the hospital downtown." So we drive down to the hospital (Whiney is a horrible driver) only to find that, "It's a common mistake, but you need to go to the Medical Center on the other side of town." So we drive over there and procure weed from a nice older woman. It was really cheap. She gave me change from my twenty then made fun of us for not being very "smooth" in the hand off. Then when we were driving back for some reason Whiney decided to take a shortcut through a boggy forest and the car got stuck in a ditch. We climbed out and walked back to the party. When we got back to the party, we smoked weed and ate cheeseburgers.

I miss my flight to a long-haul destination beginning with B that I can't remember, then aimlessly hang around the small airport waiting for the next flight. The airport has some scrubby ground around it. Suddenly I see a large group pass by and I hear someone say 'Cutty'. I hesitate for a moment, then march up and introduce myself to Cutty. He has a blonde afro. I shake his hand and everything. Then I go back to get my flight but before I get on it I have to take my place in the line, which turns out to be a big revolving turntable that everyone stands on with their bags. It's hard to keep my balance and I wonder why I've forgotten how to do this since my last flight.

Hey, I had a dream about HOOS, too. I ran into him somewhere, and he told me that he'd seen the first episode of the new season of LOST, and that it was kind of disappointing. He started to tell me why, but I was like, I don't want spoilers. Then a tall, beautiful African American girl he was friends with came up to say hi to him, and I knew I'd met her before but couldn't remember her name, so I said, "Hey, I'm sorry, I forget your name." She said, "It's Erin." I said, "I'm John." HOOS said, "Easy to remember, right?" I said, "Or not, since there are so many other Johns." She then said, "What about Mark? How many Marks are there?" "Do you mean how many are born now or how many were born when we were born?" "Both." "When we were born, it was like a top 10 name. Now it's barely in the top 100." Oh, and we were all underwater the entire time.

"This" was a John Hughes movie called "The Table is the Table: The Musical," which Mr. Hughes had not allowed to be released during his lifetime. It had just been released on a deluxe DVD treatment. We smoked a bowl and watched it together. Between musical numbers, it was a lot of Mummenschanz/Pilobilus-type arty dance numbers, but during the singing parts, it was more traditional choreography. The only song I remember was sung by Molly Ringwald, and the chorus went: "the table is the table is OTM! is OTM! is OTM!"

I swear to God, I had an ILX dream years after I'd dropped this place like a bad habit. And that is why I'm going to post this one last time here, swearsies. It's a long and involved dream and involves a lot of people I remember from coming around here, and is as follows:

I dreamed I was in this vintage-looking kitchen (with updated appliances and all) in this rambling Victorian house that looked like it was set in Louisiana -- everything looked like it was set in Louisiana. I was making a huge batch of pasta salad while Texas Sam was beside me making a gigantic pot of baked beans and listening to some old-sounding country band (they sounded like Hank Williams or Johnny Cash). Then I seem to remember that we're there because we're making food for a wedding reception and the wedding is between Julia and Kenan, who are going to be getting married in an informal garden ceremony. (They were both upstairs in separate bedrooms getting ready.)

I spot Mark C's Sarah going upstairs with Julia's dress, which looked very flowing and 1920s vintage, while I went outside with this gigantic pot of pasta salad, and outside nickalicious was manning the grill, putting on some big racks of pork babyback ribs and butterflying the chicken for barbecuing later. I wanted to chat with him briefly so I could let him know that my bf was there (I think he was off to one side smoking with some other random people) and how they both were into Fishbone (which is true) and were musicians and they'd probably get along really well, but he was talking with Tep and they were having a little discussion about the barbecue sauce nickalicious had made and Tep -- who for some reason I knew was the property owner -- was telling nickalicious about how he puts more cayenne pepper and less vinegar in his own homemade sauce and nickalicious was arguing about how this was how they did it back in Kentucky and it was his grandfather's recipe or something like that.

Anyway, so I let them be and moved further out into the garden, which stretched out about an acre or so and had a lot of grass and trees, and under a really old and shady tree there were a lot of plastic picnic chairs gathered in a circle with a whole lot of ILXors sitting around drinking beer and chatting, from Ned and Dan (Dan's wife was also there) to Ally and Sarah McLusky to Mark C and Matos, who was making them all laugh because apparently he was great at telling funny stories period (and not just about his stupid ex-stepfather), and many more people. I was also standing right next to this weird underground walk-in refrigerator dug into the garden and as I was opening the door (it opened upwards and revealed a set of stairs to climb down to where the fridge area was), I wished I could be with those people having fun chatting and laughing, but I felt like I'd be imposing myself on them by just pulling up a chair and sitting down, but when I looked up I saw Dan waving at me in a friendly manner as if to say that I was welcome to join in, and I waved back acknowledging that I'd seen him and was happy about getting to join them after I put away the pasta salad when I suddenly slipped and tumbled down the stairs. That's when everything went black and my dream ended.

Much like my post. And my being here. Hi and bye!

on a friend's couch this weekend, dreamed i was driving thru the American South with J0rdan S. & deej. stopped at a record store. there were five or six loose tapes w/o boxes in a vinyl rack for $2 each. one was Kountry Kings self-titled, which i wanted for years. took it to the desk and they gave it back to me boxed with the original lengthy intricately detailed inlay card. (n.b. this group don't exist irl)

One wall there was top to bottom CD racks, lowest was labeled "free mixtapes". i took about 12 interesting looking ones (thinking "oh hey they have lil b here wtf") and the record store guys rang them up and said "$55 plz" I kept saying "no u don't understand these are mixtapes!" eventually i called across the store to another employee, "hey do u know what mixtapes are" and he said "sure" and gave an encyclopedic definition & history of the mixtape. this meant that i got them for free for some reason.

Anyway, an actual ILX dream. I've mentioned elsewhere that most of my dreams are in black & white, without sound. But this dream was like being inside one of Abbott's comics...
Abbott's Comix
...because at one point someone knocked on the door and instead of the sound there was the caption "knock knockle knock".

I woke up in a semi-panic this morning, not for the reason it actually should have been (it was almost an hour and a half later than intended) but because in my dream I'd forgotten to review something which ilxor 'stevie' commissioned me to do for the Evening Standard. Whichever way you slice it I need to apologise to stevie :(

Radio broadcast of recorded art from an airplane. We're in the noisy fuselage and the next woman up is describing her project. Then I'm next, and I'm jumping with a mic attached to a very, very long cord. I don't remember what I was supposed to have performed on the way down.

Somewhere in the air I'm reading ilx; something about the blue and white in the sky reminds me of style.css. LJ and I are looking at old posts between us, some misunderstanding. I'm aware of ilx wolves looking over our shoulders and their impending Monday morning quarterbacking, and then I wake up.

For some reason, I'm going to see Mark Grout, in his (dream) hometown of Cambridge. The main purpose of this visit is to jam and make some music with Mr Grout, who I've never met and who I've only talked to on the phone. Apparently Mr Grout is notorious for only using one note in all his compositions. However Ed counsels me against visiting Mr Grout, implying that he is a somewhat weird character, with very few friends, who feeds visitors potatoes full of worms and maggots as some sort of strange dietary discipline. Anyway, I can't remember what happens in the rest of the dream (I've never met Mark Grout IRL by the way) but I do remember one of his songs from the dream: a doowop song, with no (or very subtle) chord changes called "Olè Baby".

Night of weird dreams. Only part I remember (and just remembered it now upon seeing one of his posts) was that in it I was trying to explain to some girl that LJ's name is pronounced like "Louie" and not "Luis". I remember saying to her, "OK, this is going to blow your mind . . ." LOL.

Everyone was in a hysteria because it was just found out about Grady's sociopathy. I was with his grandma and she was upset and I was being pedantic, saying, "Just because he's a sociopath doesn't mean he's gonna kill somebody."

Then we were upstairs in her Miss Havisham house and I was teaching some poor Oliver Twist some kind of literacy that most resembled either rolling sushi or sculpting chewing gum to look like tadpoles. She was mad about something to do with my tadpole literacy teaching that would be too tedious to explain.

Should we make one, then? I'd definitely willing to contribute. We'd just need someone who's good at doing at layout, and someone who has an access to a free/cheap copier.

Other possible contributions:

* A comic by Abbott?
* Record/book/movie reviews, shouldn't be hard to find people to write these.
* Wasn't there a thread where some ILX posters ate various foodstuff and reviewed it? They could do a similar column for the zine.
* Mandee's pick-up tips.
* Have some personal issues? Internet Hardman (HI DERE?) will give you the cold truth.

three weeks pass...

Was on a bus ride to summer camp with acoleuthic. I gave him this cool polo shirt. We were talking about this one woman at the camp we would do anything for - it turned out that I was talking about a little old lady while aco was talking about a ravishing young woman. I wrote "I know, right" in big cursive script on a pad of paper. The bus came over a hill and we could see this four story townhouse whose top floor was on fire. Somebody jumped out of the window like a madman and plummeted his death. There were two people left and all of the sudden the dream turned to live news broadcast footage of the fire. One of the people was the girl from the Puff Puff Give video, but she was all dressed in black leather.

Ok had this dream about 90 mins. ago.

I went to the apt. of an ilxor I hate (don't waste your time asking). Can't recall why. It was either a very small gathering or maybe he (only clue) was going to rent out of room in the place. In any event, he turned me away at the door. :(

Cut to a few months later. He's throwing a party which he HAS to let me attend (in my life, the closest explanation would be an academic dept. party). Once I discover/remember it's his place, I start smooshing cupcakes all over his bed and into his sheets. Someone watches over me disapprovingly but I continue with glee.

Cut to me reading ILM (at the party?) and I come across a 1999 post from surm in which he asks "So who is this Destiny's Child band?"

Lot's of ilx dreams lately, though in none of them am I reading ilx.

1. My brother, pre-opiate addiction, says something about ilx rumormongers.

2. Lying down with my full body across a desk at work, which was like the newsroom in Superman: The Movie, or maybe like the offices at the beginning of Joe Versus the Volcano. The prodigal son nabisco is coming back, people say.

3. Eating with Roxy, who is wary of me, but tolerant. I can't remember what she says. It was something characteristic.

BONUS DREAM: Large, confusing, multi-purpose building. I show the girl the door to the sound room so she can complain about the drum sound or something from the show in the concert hall. I step over the legs of people sitting against a wall and drop into the room of somebody on the first floor. I realize that I've been the one stealing from everyone. I didn't know that I knew the building so well. I say, "Swilly fatbacks with bacon also!"

jaymc, I dreamt that for some reason I had to go back to BHS for one more year (have these sort of dreams a lot, for HS and college). I showed up to some sort of orientation, and you, Jon D3Guzm@n, Adam Gyn@c, and a couple other people were sitting at a table. Jon jumps up and greets me like we're long-lost brothers, approaches me but I'm all sweaty from (I think) just playing basketball. So I go to the bathroom to wash up, and Anselmo is in there. I say hi to him but very coldly, and then immediately feel bad about that. I come out, and we're all told that starting this year, we're going to have to live in dorms w/in the building. I freak out and wake up.

This is my first ILX dream (it's kind of boring![not the ilxcameo part, but you know... a dream about shopping in a bakery? come on]):

Went to a really cute bakery. My irl friend co-owned the bakery with La Lechera! I was there buying cupcakes and talking about recipes and they had this cute little book with pictures of the girls (even though I don't know what la lechera looks like) and the cupcakes they sold. We had a nice really normal non dream-y chat about how we know each other and how it was cool and I paid for the cupcakes and left. Have a nice day! I will say that the colors were really rich.

I hope it was not one of you guys. I didn't recognise him, but if that face ever appears on WDYLL, I promise you that I will sb you to death.

if jung were alive in the eighties he likely would have penned commentary on the alchemical aspects of her "teen steam" workout videos

― dude (del), Sunday, 10 October 2010 15:20 (fourteen years ago) link

The heat is the purifying agent. Matter boils until nothing remains except the purified steam that rises above. This steam represents the second stage, the whitening stage. This vapor is our essence, our pure and true selves that rises and is separate from the worldly soup. It is the alchemical metaphor for the soul’s release from matter. It is quite beautiful. You can imagine the vapor floating above the physical world, drifting up to meet and merge into Sophia who then embraces you and manifests in her full glory.

Last I dreamt I was living in a commune/shared flat with chak1, an artist friend of mine, and several others. I woke up one morning, got up, and noticed chak1 had packed his bags. I saw the artist friend and asked her what's up, and she said chak1 is going abroad as an exchange student. I replied: "chak1 goes abroad as an exhchange student every year", which was true. Then chak1 came from his room and we kissed, briefly - not in a sexual manner though, apparently it was the habit in this flat to greet each other by kissing. I checked my mail and noticed I'd received this weird mag, which had both news and comics in 3D. However my head was kinda sore and I didn't feel like reading the 3D stuff. My friend asked if she could have the mag, and I gave it to her. Then I asked her what time it was, and she said "10 o'clock", and I was like, "Omigod, I should be at work at 10!". Then I woke up and I wasn't late from work, it was only 6.

Dreamed I was in a college classroom after having missed a couple of weeks of class. The instructor was returning some graded essays -- I thought I'd have to take zeroes, but it was even worse -- somebody (an ilxor who shall remain nameless) had turned in photocopies of New Yorker articles with my name on them, and the teacher was pissed at me for the obvious plagiarism. But he did let on that another ilxor had done something even dumber -- printed out every page of his work on the same piece of paper so that the page was just a jumble of overwritten gibberish.

also read an article about a trend involving the use of decorative light switch panels found in mcdonald's restaurants. the writer ripped on a whole foods for using one of the mcdonald's ones in their store. also, in the dream the produce section at whole foods was known as "the organic play station"

I dreamt I was reading a thread where underrated aerosmith albums produced evidence that Satan was real. It was a really long and controversial thread that ended with everyone going "oh fuck!" Actually it felt a lot like the U.S. politics thread. The devil was my #1 childhood fear, I've spent years convincing myself many reasons this is an invalid fear, and I felt so vulnerable and scared feeling all my reasons unravel. I woke up and had to pee and I was almost too scared to leave bed.

three weeks pass...

There is a wild monsoon storm outside, and I am running through it with a jacket over my head trying to get somewhere inside. I duck into a library. It is empty and silent but for a bay of 1980s Macintosh computers. The walls are tall and full of leather-bound books. My phone buzzes with a text message. I open it:

MAN SEES U
-- The 1p3 Janitor

I whirl around. There is no one. I look out a window. There is a thunderclap. Now follows the strike of lightning, and there in the pouring rain stands BERNARD, THE JANITOR OF 1P3, 6 feet tall like a man, in wet janitorial garb with an awful emptiness in his eyes.

I run.

It was me, corey, Xgau (!), and someone else noteworthy (or at least noteworthy on ILX) but I can't for the life of me remember. We were taking about the Beatles and corey and this other guy were being snobs, saying they hate the early Beatles (we were listening to their version of "Please Mr. Postman"), that they weren't advanced enough, that it was mere rock 'n' roll, and Xgau and I were like "Ha!

Perennial mystery-man 'nakhchivan' cropped up in my dream earlier...he was living upstairs in my university-attending brother's loft room and when I met and greeted him he told me he had renounced his former name and preferred to be known as 'nakhchivan'. Then I repeated this to him and he snippily corrected my pronunciation. Then he said 'I'll see you online'. Dude even gave his birthdate (7 days before me). At some point I had to take my supporting tooth-brace out to speak properly. It was odd.

I was eating apple scrapings out of some brass device. We had just finished this huge epic adventure and were talkin' about this girl Tara who wouldn't give us the time of day.

I had a dream that I drove to California and hung out with Justin3 and ytth! They asked what I wanted to do and I told them "ice skating." They said it was too hot for ice in California, but they did have a "California ice capades arena" where you could go indoors and pretend you were ice skating. The ice capades arena had rainbow banners & ribbons hanging fron the walls and ceiling, and those little hangy crystals people put in their cars to make rainbows appear everywhere. They were playing The Free Design and the Fifth Dimension. We all roller skated around in circles together on a concrete floor, and laughed and had a good time.

It wasn't until I went to type this up just now that I remembered roller skating rinks are a real thing.

So anyway he decides to perform for us before we all go out (in this really boring looking room w/ a dropped ceiling and fluorescent lights and folding chairs), and at one point he mentions he's v excited coz his mom is here today, and we turn around and she's in the back of the room smiling and waving. And he's very sincerely going on about how grateful he for is mother and that she's here, and then she starts tearing up and crying and shaking her head and is all "No, no, I can't do this"

So later everyone leaves to go hunting but plax and I stay back and hang out w/ our famous rapper buddy, and we asked him "What was up with your mom earlier?" and he just started laughing and was like "Oh, that was just some dude I paid to dress up like my mom"

Then later, I was in some weird place where there was this crazy psychotic bitch who had powers to do whatever she wanted (like, control your mind and use ESP to throw things at you and shit), and the only way to 'defeat' her was to realize how lame and stupid she was instead of being scared of her. So anyway, I'm totally over her from the get-go and she's just being an annoying pest, but then del shows up, and he doesn't know the secret yet! So here I am just kickin it w/ my bro and she fucking makes him FALL IN LOVE W/ HER and it is so goddamn annoying. She also keeps throwing really large objects at me, which is also annoying. Finally somehow I manage to wrench him free, and there's a door that leads from her crazy world back into the real world, but he is still smitten w/ her and (earnestly) writes lyrics from some Train song on the door for her before we leave.

dreamt about hanging in a bar with ppl talking about the t-shirts they had as children. ilx user max ruefully told us that his dad was a huge chicago bears fan and had forced him to wear a bears super bowl vii shirt when he was little.

i was like, wait ilx user max, you aren't that old. he said, yeah, my dad bought a bunch at the time (1973) to save for his future children. also the bears lost to the dolphins anyway, which made it extra embarrassing.

(notes: i have met max once or twice. from what i know of him, it seems pretty unlikely that his dad would be a bears fan. the bears actually went 4-9-1 that year and did not appear in super bowl vii -- the dolphins beat the redskins to complete a perfect 17-0 season.)

Dreamt that a large number of ILXors came to my parent's house uninvited on Christmas Day. There was no food, booze, games, party hats, or anything. The atmosphere was like the reception after a funeral. Highlights:

homosexual II wondering out loud if we should all call each other by our real names or our ILX names.
my father starting an argument with roxymusak for no reason, because IRL he's an unpleasant anti-social mean spirited tosser.

Then an ex-colleague arrived and acted towards me in a cordial manner, the opposite to how he behaved when I was working with him. Then I went outside into the street and thought "wow, I should be completely drunk by now, but somehow I'm sober".

I was in a sci-fi conference with Abbott and Tracer Hand. Next to me sat the sci-fi author Octavia Butler and his 10-year old son [I have no idea what Octavia Butler looked like in real life, except that she was African-American, or if she had a son]. Abbott was chatting with the kid, who had round "professor" type of glasses and a charming smile. A lecture started, it was on the subject of "Classification of sci-fi works based on the level of idealism in them". The kid, who was apparently was some kind of a prodigy, kept making really smart but kinda pompous remarks about idealism in sci-fi, and about the classification system the lecturer presented. The classification was a sliding scale that went something like this:

Utopian sci-fi

Idealistic sci-fi

Realistic sci-fi

Pessimistic sci-fi

Dystopian sci-fi

Really dystopian sci-fi

Awful, depressing, dog-shit kind of stuff

I dreamed forks lived in the apartment above me (I was in Apt. 1101, he was in something else). Anyway I get a knock on the door from the mailman asking if I know where package was to be delivered (It said, like, 1 1st Ave, Apt #1) and I was like "I have no idea", until I saw that the package was addressed to the name of forks' company (though it said "Concerts" instead of "Publicity"), so I walk the mailman up to his apt, but the lights are off, and the mailman starts walking downstairs, and I go "no, wait, let's ring the doorbell", so he comes back up and we ring the doorbell, but forks doesn't come out immediately, so the mailman starts walking back downstairs again (lazy fucking mailman, I tell you), but then I see him walking to the door through that crack btwn the door and floor, and he opens the door and is all "Hey, what's up?" and I was all "Oh, you've got a package", but at this point the mailman has already walked down to the floor below, and vocalizes his frustration with having to keep walking up and down the stairs. So instead of walking the package back up, he just throws the contents up the flight of steps, and I catch it and hand it to forks; it was an enormous bag of goji berries. Also, he had decided to added several numbers on this apartment number on his door (so instead of 2045, it said 1170424059931), and I asked him why he did that and he said he got the idea from Lady Gaga.

2 ilxors in my dreams last nite!!

1) dreamt that i saw s1ocki walking down a sidewalk in Honolulu. he was super lobster red sunburned, sweating, and had his hands full with these really heavy cases. i was like "hey s1ocki! you're in hawaii!??" and he was like "yeah, for for work." he seemed really irritated. then i was like "cool! are you working on a film project?" and he just walks past me and goes "furniture repair." then i noticed he wearing a shirt that had a little swastika under the collar, like right between the 2nd and 3rd button. i was like "hey s1ocki! why does your shirt have a swastika on it??" and he goes "stupid work uniform...." then i followed him up a flight of stairs and watched him take out a hand saw and start cutting little pieces off the baseboard on some king sized bed.

2) later in the same dream i got an email from underrated aerosmith albums i have loved. it was about some on-board question or something but at the end he was like "PS- looks like i'm playing a show in Hawaii later this year!" and i got really excited that i might get to kick it with dude and show him around the island. then i looked up the venue of the show he had booked and it turned out it was a church that was super anti-reproductive rights. i somehow deducted that it was A TRAP and spent the rest of the dream trying to tell aerosmith but kept getting silenced by these church people who were all wearing t-shirts that said WE LOVE UNDERRATED AEROSMITH ALBUMS I HAVE OWNED and were carrying signs that said the same. at one point someone told me they were trying to make a WE LOVE UNDERRATED AEROSMITH ALBUMS I HAVE OWNED sign so big that astronauts could see it from outer space. somewhere during that last part my alarm started going off and i woke up.

Like my previous ILX dream, this one featured Shakey Mo; but whereas we were co-workers at an ILX magazine in that one, this recent one featured us meeting for the first time. Seems we lived in the same building and crossed paths while taking out the trash. He greatly resembled a South Asian version of Roger Kaputnik (Dave Berg's "The Lighter Side Of..." guy) with the similar horn-rimmed glasses, and somehow I recognized him. (He looked nothing like he did in the earlier dream.) Shook his hand ("I've wanted to meet you for a long time!") and suggested a future FAP. He agreed, then dug through his pockets and handed me three pennies, explaining that I could extrapolate his phone number from the coins' dates. I tried for awhile with no success, until I realized that the coins in fact revealed, not his phone number, but his date of birth. I interpreted that as his passive-aggressive way of snubbing me, and decided "The hell with him," then went out shopping to quickly buy some ammonia before the stores could close at 6 pm. Never found the ammonia but managed to buy a perfectly square picture frame from a junk shop at the last possible moment. Then I woke up.

Pashmina and I were sharing a squat somewhere in South London (Thamesmead or thereabouts). Ned Raggett turned up and Pashmina was showing him a guitar he'd found, which to me looked like one of those shitty wee toy ones that break in ten minutes, and Ned asked if he could "mess around with it for a bit". He started strumming some rubbish but the next thing we knew it was two hours later and he'd put us to sleep by playing a perfect rendition of 'Cavatina' and had disappeared while we slept. I said to Pash "I thought he was just messing around" and Pash said "That *is* messing around when you're Ned Raggett!"

Started a band with ENBB. It was us and two round, trolly teenage boys. Everybody moved into a bedroom at my parents' house. We didn't make any music in the dream, but someone had a copy of Siouxsie and the Banshees Tinderbox and just in case there was a demand for an acoustic cover of "I Kill Everything I Fuck" was playing in the background at one point.

Later on in the dream, jjjusten and I got called up to active duty in the army because we had accidentally enlisted when we entered a sweepstakes for a free guitar. There was a going-away party that was cool at first because everybody gave us LOTS of chocolates. JJJ's had his real name on them, but mine had my new army nickname on them: "Pvt. Pooper".

The dream got real intense when someone gave me my baby to hold one last time before I went to Iraq and I woke up crying.

Night before last -- I was the property manager of a seaside place where Ned and his girlfriend were gurus/cult leaders. I wasn't under their spell, just there to look after the place. The situation lent itself to me having a bit of sex with some of Ned's followers.

gr8080 was giving me a ride to madison, wisconsin. we pulled over at a gas station, i stayed in the car at first but i could see gr8080 directing the cars by the gas pumps, making sure they were all in order. then i went inside the gas station and was looking around while gr8080 was in the bathroom. it was a weird gas station, i couldn't find candy but they had fresh-baked bread and used books. the owner was talking to me and when i found out i was with gr8080 he was like "that crazy kid!" in an admiring way. i guess he appreciated his gas pump organizing.

I was having a vacation in London with Emil.y and Some Dude. We were hanging in our hotel room and I was all excited about going shopping, while Emil.y and Some Dude were lazily hanging on the sofa and watching the telly. I tried to get them excited too, and I was like "Some Dude, you like neo soul, right? We can go to a record store that sells neo soul! And Emily, you like psychedelic rock, we can go to a store that sells psychedelic rock! And I like underground dance music, we can go to a record store with that too!". And they were like, yeah yeah, we'll go to record stores soon, but they didn't sound excited at all, they just kept watching the TV with bored eyes. The TV was showing an Arnold Schwarzenegger action comedy, and he was saying something silly in English with his Austrian accent, and I was like, why do you want to watch this when we could go out? But they kept watching it, and all of sudden I noticed that Arnold was now speaking in German. It was the dubbed German version of the movie, the channel had changed to RTL, and I realized we weren't in London but in Berlin. And Emil.y and Some Dude weren't lying on a sofa anymore, but on a pile of 7" vinyl singles, but they still looked as inexcited as before. And I asked them, can we go shopping after the movie is over, and Some Dude answered with a bored, monotone voice, "Oh yeah.". That's when I woke up.

My home was dropped into an upscale Washington D.C. neighborhood. Trees were down across the road. Tried for some time to pull them apart, split them at their Y's. Michael Jones pulled up into my driveway on what under him appeared to be a child-sized red motorcycle. When I got on it was normal man sized. He had been busy teaching people ("The Freer Method"). The parentheses and quotes are part of the name. This was a strange psychological/psychiatrical examination method that involved drawing disparate things on two different transparencies and then, using an overhead projector, merging them on the screen to come up with some bizarre epiphany. Michael was ecstatic about the success of ("The Freer Method") but I thought it was just drawings, however cool.

one month passes...

I had a dream Stevie D opened a little outdoor kiosk that sold small pieces of pre-wrapped fancy cheese and alcoholic drinks. It was maybe the size of a rotating comic book rack with a little bar. I showed up and he was super happy to see me, and handed me a big glass of rosé that had price tags floating in it. Stevie was very congenial and chatty with everyone, spending lots of time with each customer. I listened in on the other people at the kiosk – two female friends of his saying it was going to be a horrible failure because no one like cheese that's been sitting out in the sun. A guy came up to order a margarita: "I really liked the drink you made me last time, Steve, but it took two hours." Stevie took out a bottle of sand art, like you make at a carnival, and poured half a bottle of tequila into it. He told me later running the kiosk and dying his hair red were both punishments meted out to him for trying to steal the sun.

elmo argonaut owned and operated some pizza place that I think I may have worked at and he decided to open up a salon next door on 31st St called "31st Salon" (instead of 31st St Salon, idk why) and he wanted me to singlehandedly operate and close on Wed nights even though I have no experience whatsoever with hair cutting/coloring, so he made me a chart on a piece of black poster board telling how to mix the colors and apply them. And then he just left and someone wanted their hair trimmed and dyed white and I just fumbled around looking for the dye and things until I woke up.

I had a dream last night that I was watching some kind of jazz/blues band playing in the courtyard of I dunno, a college or mall or somewhere. I walked up to check them out and Crut was playing saxaphone, and did this mad-ass really complex solo that would have been impossible to do in one breath, just managed to finish the last note, gave the audience the middle finger with a free hand and then fell over from lack of breath.

The audience was all "wooooyeahhh!" at this display. LOL wtf.

Ran into ZS while mountain biking in some Washington-area park. He told me that he had run into some girl he used to know in high school the night before and they had had "t-shirt fun" in his tent. We were jumping off of huge rocks and doing tricks that were more like flatland freestyle than mtn biking. Eventually we got to this huge open rocky area, at the end of which the government was arresting some al-Qaeda for terrorism. Then we raced back along the trail so we wouldn't be late for work.

I had a dream a few nights ago that I met Dog Latin outside his house and he told me that he was moving to Germany. The house in question was a large multi-storey grey stone building like the ones that are common in Bristol.

I also had a dream where I had to go to a meeting and demo the software I sell (always odd when work intervenes in dreams). I checked out the biography of the person I was meeting and I found out that he had worked with my Dad at the hospital where he was an administrator. The guy was called Conway and there actually was a guy called Conway that my Dad worked with in the seventies whom he used to come home and complain about. In the meeting I mentioned to Conway the fact that he had worked with my Dad and asked if he remembered him and he said "Oh yes, portly fellow as I recall" (which he was). "I seem to remember he was quite disapproving of Kidd's interviewing technique". (Kidd was the name of my Dad's boss). Conway then went on to ask "You aren't expecting the fact I worked with your father to influence the outcome of this meeting are you?" and I said no.

It is very rare for my dreams to have dialogue in them as complex as this and to have such odd references to real life. I wonder whethe the fact I was on holiday in the Tatra mountains and was feeling pretty hyped up after some vigorous hill walking had any effect on the nature of the dream.

ilxor wasn't a message board, but a real life office. Dayo and ZS and I were assigned to a thread on white rappers. We discovered this enormous coffee-table book about rap in the archives, and it was mostly filled with white rappers from Britain. Instead of pictures, there were youtube imbeds in the pages. The black american rappers usually had videos of interviews or songs or whatever, but the white rappers from britain all had videos of them tandem skydiving with their mothers.

ENBB needed some stiff paper onto which to paste some photographs, and I had just the thing, I said. She waited in the green Chevy Astro in the dark alley while I ran into The Dorm. (Aside: The Dorm is a dormitory apartment-like place that I've frequented in dreams over the years—hello dream topography thread. In this dream, my room was on the 2nd floor, but it was technically the 3rd floor because where the 2nd floor should be was a dingy unlivable dark space. Maybe it burned? Whatever's in there, one shouldn't get off the elevator there. You keep going to the "2nd" floor. Sometimes I live in or visit different rooms on this or different floors. Sometimes I can't find my room for the life of me. Anyway, it's a frequent dreamplace.) Got to my room on the "2nd" floor, dug around in my shit and realized I'd given that pack of stiff paper away years ago.

roxy played bass in my band. we were playing our first gig, opening up for aerosmith (actual aerosmith, not underrated aerosmith). I was the lead singer, but we only had enough microphone cable to plug directly into the wall, so I was kinda behind the piano. I was yelling into the microphone, trying to amp the crowd up, and they were eating it up for a while, but we couldn't start because the children's choir was missing. eventually the children's choir showed up, but much of the audience had gotten up and wandered off.

I had this long, motion-picture length dream about Lindsay Lohan. There was a full cast of characters and some sort of plot about moving from L.A. to New York. I can't remember most of it, but at the end, Z_S and I were traveling with her and we stopped at this outdoor library on a farm. We were standing near a stack full of Ruruoni Kenshin manga, when Lilo took me aside and asked me to help look for her postal scale (this kind, not the digital kind). She thought she had dropped it somewhere, but couldn't go back to look because there was a squad of cops in the library and she didn't want to violate her probation. So Z_S and I went looking around, in drawers and kiosks, but didn't find it. Finally, we were walking down a dirt road past a bunch of people playing beach volleyball, when I kicked a rat and watched it scurry away down the road. Z_S realized that the rat had the postal scale in its mouth! With renewed spirits at having finally spotted our quarry, we took off after it into the woods. That's around when I woke up.

Last night, Get Bent was smoking cigarettes on the side of the road. There was a coffee shop with Joni Mitchell playing a small gig outside of it. Joni invited the audience to participate by blowing - jugband-style - into these jugs that were shaped like toilets and also served as ashtrays. Get Bent wasn't into the ashtray toilet jugs and went back to smoking. She showed me her harmonica and rare miniature harmonica amp, but then pulled out a Beastie Boys CD and plugged it into this trippy oscilloscope. Then we were under an overpass and this emo mall punk band was running all around us, but at the same time their video was playing on my tablet. Yeah, they were teenage mall punk, but they really transcended the form.

I dreamed all my teeth, they were all coming out and they were black and shitty looking, and there was a lucid part of me that was horrified, thinking "when you dream about your teeth falling out, that's really really bad luck, a death in the family and so on." But I'm walking around with a handful of busted teeth, and my friend Basia-- blond hair, Polish genes, perfect teeth, perfect skin, wearing a stole-- she says, "ah don't worry. My teeth fell out years ago" and gives me a gleaming acrylic smile.

I had TWO ilx dreams in a row, it was weird.

The first one was obv. inspired by the new My Bloody Valentine album because Ned was supposed to give a lecture on stage before MBV played music from their new album. It was going to be broadcast on tv. Ned came out wearing a glam rock gold lamé shirt that had v-neck down to his waist and lots of people were laughing at him. I was so mortified for him.

In the second one Aero was being catfished by a fictional ilxor (obv. inspired by Luna) and he took a bunch of other ilxors (including me) on a cross country trip on his tour bus to California to confront this person. He kept crying and I felt really uncomfortable because I couldn't take any more days off of work for the trip but didn't want to seem like an unsympathetic dick.

I think that's a sign I've spent too much time on ilx lately...

I had a really interesting one last night.

I was in a pretty ornate, opulent antique store of sorts... and masturbating (sorry, TMI). I have masturbation dreams a lot. Anyway, then this antique store kinda transformed into a huge, open plan kind of studio, and I was MOLDING CLAY really poorly, sloppily, and I couldn't keep anything held together (it wasn't like clay was in real life, it was much MUSHIER). And then FORKS was suddenly there, kinda helping me keep everything together, and interlacing his hands with mine and we made this gigantic clay thing like delia deetz would make from Beetlejuice! It was kinda poignant.

I don't know what's up with my flood of ilx dreams lately. I'm getting horrible nights of sleep these days though. Dreams have been memorable at least. Don't know if that's better than not remembering dreams at all. It would be nice to get a good balance.

Last nights dreams were mostly ilx-free, as far as I can remember, except for a cameo by some dude, who was on the radio talking about getting laid off from his job at Royal Farms. When I went into the Royal Farms, there were all these jabbering, laughing maniacs who worked there, but I ordered some fries anyway. I began to notice the place was crawling with bugs. First a stream of ants, then these cockroaches doing backflips off of everything, then finally a giant, killer centipede with these deep-black eyes.

Then I woke up this morning and saw the Yelp thread:

people that YELP are scumbags

like finding a deep fried bug in your fries and marveling at the fact that it is so delightfully crispy between the teeth.

I'm praying for no dreams tonight, to be honest.

A couple of nights ago I dreamt I was at a party at some friend's house, and Ned turned up. In their back garden they had a square mudhole filled with water in which were floating some giant tubers that looked like decapitated torsoes and Ned produced an electric thing like a Machine Of The Future from the 50s which dried a square of it off for him to rest his feet on while he sat at the side.

We must have stayed up drinking all night because in the morning Ned was woken up in his survival food store bunker by his ride telling him he was leaving in 5 minutes to take him librarianing. This shocked Ned and he stumbled back into his honey shelf, covering himself in it, then staggered forward into his cereal store. He then just ambled about like a Burry Man made out of Cheerios complaining about his sore head.

(I have left out the non Ned parts such as lying to a small child about liking his Lego Star Wars collection and punching an old woman in the face after she hurled sectarian abuse at me because I wasn't going to Joe Ledley's disco in a scout hut.)

earlier this week i had some seriously distressing nightmares that totally put me into a bad place.
(details are not required ..)
having thought about it, i realised i had some cheese on ryvita as a late evening snack each evening.
so, last night i cut out the cheese - no nightmares.
is it for real the connection ?
i always assumed it was one of those 'myth' type of things.

― mark e, Thursday, 9 May 2013 09:44 (eleven years ago) link

Were they ilx nightmares?

I've recently been consuming large amounts of iced chamomile tea before bed. 4-5 cups, well-steeped, then poured over ice and taken to the head through a straw. Great vivid dreams, although after too many nights in a row of doing this, I started to get real lethargic the day after. Anyway, much better roi, dreamwise, than sitting around trying to choke down a cup of the hot stuff. I'll be sure to take note if I get any ilx dreams.

Very vivid dream last night that Whiney built a purple flying saucer and took off in California as US ilxors tracked him west to east, but it was revealed after takeoff that it was a suicide mission. Soon it was on the news and the Air Force was tracking him and all of ilx was posting with him, pleading for him to land it safely somewhere. Then he crashed it and died in my backyard (of the house in Alabama that I grew up in, not where I live now). It took about ten people to unscrew the lid off the saucer and retrieve his limp, naked body.

I had a dream the other day that I was in the supermarket looking through a pile of books that were on sale and I found this hardback copy of a book about Bertolt Brecht written by Roger Ebert. It had a 1970s style gold, green and maroon cover, no pictures, just the title and Ebert's name. I was going to buy it, but then I remembered Alfred, Lord Sotosyn saying something withering about it on ilx once, he didn't exactly say the book was garbage but it was obvious he didn't rate it, so I put the book back.
I didn't meet Alfred in the dream, just remembered something he had written on ilx.

That's not really as interesting as Johnny Fever's dream, just reading about that freaked me out! I always get the jitters when I dream about people dying, even if it's some celebrity I've never met, I have to google them as soon as I get out of bed to check they're still alive.

I was backstage at an underrated aerosmith show. Guy was being very aggressive: "where is the rum? There is supposed to be rum on the rider" and he turns to me and orders me to go and get the rum, it has to be Barbancourt rum, and to do it now, his friends are waiting for their drinks. I leave the venue and look on my iPhone for places that sell Barbancourt rum, and find a place about twenty minutes away, and start walking there. It is a beautiful day and the walk is long. I arrive and head to the rum section. There is a lot of Bacardi and some Malibu but no Barbancourt. I see an empty space labelled "Barbancourt" but no bottles. I kneel down to get a better look and see nothing. Suddenly, a shadow is cast over me. I look up, and aerosmith is standing over me, impossibly tall and furious, with a shopping cart loaded full of Barbancourt rum, and he hisses "you walk too slow, asshole"

the security guard at the library was watching a tape of a mid-90s nhl game and was a huge jeremy roenick stan. he kept going on about roenick and i was like dude, he was a solid player but nowhere near that good plus he's a kind of an egomaniacal blowhard. the security guard said 'well you can't stay now, can you?' (in an accent that was more irish than aussie) and kicked me out. and then i woke up. fuckin roenick

in orbit was a 50-foot-tall redhead rampaging on the streets of dc. She had inexplicably found a giant-sized AR-15 and was trying to work out how to fire it, all while giving her personal history of her favorite directors: "...and then Kubrick was my favorite director until Cronenberg came along, and then Cronenberg was my favorite director until..." BLAM! She gets it to work. There is a huge explosion on the street. She fires again at the wooden gate of some embassy, but it doesn't damage anything. Suddenly I'm at a tropical resort, where I got a great deal because of civil unrest, and I'm trying to order pineapple pizza.

This morning I woke up from yet another version of what seems to be one of the two usual dreams I now have. I had a completely different life almost three years ago, nothing wild, just different. It was a life I thought I'd pretty much have "forever". Although the change isn't what most people would call drastic, it was pretty drastic for me and since April 2011 my mind seems to be working it all out.

So just about three times a week, or more, I dream that my old life and new life collide. Sometimes my old life is my "real life" and other times my current life is also my current life in the dream world but takes place in my old house. I am often at my old house, yard, job or back with my ex and have to explain where I've been for 2.5 years. It can be sad like when I find myself without August in my old life, which is the life I end up. They are ridiculous sometimes, like when I made a cute nursery under my old work desk to hide August while I worried like crazy about my boss walking by and coming up with an excuse for my two year absence and explaining August. I dislike seeing my ex or his parents when they appear in my dreams. I use to have chickens and sometimes I wind up in my old backyard and it's overgrown, all my chickens and other pets dead.

Wonder when all this will stop and I can return to trying to put a giant contact in my eye or driving a teacup down the highway or having sex with weird things like cars.

dreamt that z s, dick cheney and i were in a presidential debate, except that it was taking place in a hotel room (z s sitting on one bed, me on the other, cheney at the desk) and was being moderated by a long-ago ex-gf of mine, who was now married to a spectre operative. i was wearing shorts and a long-sleeved t-shirt, which felt underdressed for a nationally televised debate if personally in character.

not sure why z s and i were both there, as we seemed politically in tune; i guess one of us was green party or something. i remember wondering if it would be politically astute to bring up cheney's daughters' feud and/or loudly accuse him of being a war criminal. at some point an unnamed, unconventionally attractive female minor television star wandered into the room, looking bored, and quickly left.

dreamt that luriqua decided to write, direct, and produce a feature film. once his ILX faithful learned about this, many of us volunteered to work on it with him

once production got underway, we found out that the film was about a cult leader (luriqua played the role of the cult leader)

around the time i woke up, we had discovered there was no film at all and that it was a giant plot to make us all join a real cult and be tricked in to a mass-suicide.

the last thing i remember was seeing someone who looked like luriqua's last WDYLL laughing maniacally as big hoos aka the steendriver said "lol classic luriqua"

one month passes...

Alfred, myself, and Ryan (a friend of mine from high school) had concocted a plan to sleep over at Ryan's house after prom. There was the promise of a cornucopia of drugs. The other guys, as far as I knew, had the hook-ups, and I was not holding anything yet. I was getting a ride to Ryan's house (a big farmhouse in the country) from his dad when I mentioned something about a sleepover. His tone got serious as he said "You're planning a slumber party?"

The next thing I knew we were all over at Alfred's house instead, which was a very small trailer in a trailer park. We didn't have any drugs, just a cube of Miller Light and we were all sitting outside the trailer in folding lawn chairs drinking it. Alfred's mom came out to warn us about some kind of snake, it was long and colorful. Just as she went back inside, the snake appeared, dangling down out of a tree! And Alfred was teasing it and taunting it as it crawled under the trailer. It was hissing at him and he said it bit him, but I didn't see anything.

Flash forward to later and we were all standing around in some mall watching euro disco videos.

Oh god. ILX has made its way back into my dreams again.

I fell asleep reading the Body Positivity thread, and then I had a dream that La Lechera started a thread that was called "ILXHacks" or something like that, which was just a list thread of all the excellent advice people had received on ILX over the years - and she started it off by saying that the Body Positivity thread had taught her how to wear scarves properly, which she had never really got. And as I was reading this thread (which was great, in my dream) I was thinking of all the little, invaluable bits of advice that *I* had received on ILX over the years and which ones I was going to add to the thread, if they weren't already there.

And I woke up and I was so sad that it wasn't a real thread! And now half want to start to start that very thread. (But half fear ILX meta of that sort often going nasty.)

But it's just so funny that my dream was so clear about ILX and the format and specifically which users were saying what, screen names and everything. It was very lifelike. (Perhaps this is a sign I am spending too much time on ILX)

A long and unbelievably vivid dream. A user named "poptones" was posting photos of herself on WDYLL and I recognized her as a co-worker. After a bit of deliberation, I decided to come clean: "Amy, I saw you on ILX. You are user 'poptones'. I am user 'goon tie'. I can't believe we've known each other for eight years and didn't know we posted on the same message board!" We smiled and laughed about it but then got serious. "Please do not do any searches about X or Y." "OK, I won't, please don't search anything I've said about Z".

Whoa. Just came out of a deep sleep. The dream is fading fast, but flamboyant goon tie was over at my parent's house working on some synthesizers. He was also cooking dinner for everybody, but was upset that my folks didn't have a can of peas. I offered to go to Harris Teeter for him. "I'll be back in 10 minutes, I swear." When I started driving away to the grocery store, a trio of insurance agents stopped me. They were there to check out my car with two robotic dogs. I was so frightened by the sight of them that I could barely even put my car in park. I went upstairs to tell flambo and he was like "I know. I saw." then he requested that I do a fingerstick on him with this orange plastic shard. I jabbed him in the finger with it and it filled with blood.

umm .. ok last night was a new one on me.
my first ilx based dream.
basically, at 4am i woke up to a full moon shining through my skylights, and the one memory i had of my dream was of me throwing my pint of beer over ned.
ned, myself and this couple had been chatting in a bar on the outskirts of leeds, and the couple said something that i disagreed with.
ned said this couple were right, and i was wrong.
i took umbridge, so i did the only thing anyone in my position would do.
as to why this couple were so unpleasant, i have no idea.
as to how, i was in a bar with ned, i have no idea.
as to why i wasted my pint, i have no idea (its something i would never EVER actually do).
but thats dreams for you.
not only does ned dominate the internet, but the bugger is now invading my dreams.

So there we all are sitting at a table with fuckin Peter Jackson. Then suddenly some other random lady who is there pipes up with "excuse me, Mr Jackson?" and proceeds to ask him the most cringe inducing, inane gossip-mag question ever (I forget what it was but something like "if you could choose between chips and mash which one would Frodo eat?" or whatever).

The next thing I know, Peter Jackson is over the other side of the room, sitting at a table on his own finishing his soup with a scowl on his face, and Aero is Not Very Pleased.

Hahaha, that's actually quite funny, considering my IRL interactions with Kevin (quite the reverse of stalking).

I came here to post that I had another dream about having sex with an ILX0r (different one this time) or rather an ILX0r trying to have sex with me. And realised that the world divides into two groups: people that if you dreamed about having sex with them 1) you never EVER tell them, EVER and 2) the ones you tell immediately and laugh yourselves silly over it.

And I'm trying to figure out what the dividing line is, and I don't know, but I definitely know there is one. (But I guess I also know that there are other ILX0rs who, if they told me they dreamed they had sex with me, I would laugh uproariously with them, and say "OMG what a crazy dream, that's hilarious/wonderful/awesome" and others I would be "I'm calling the police. Now.")

Treeship and I went to Whoopi Goldberg's birthday party but I didn't bother to bring a gift and I felt like such a shithead at the end when everyone started handing her her gifts, and also there were two ways we could walk home, one was just a normal path where we walked and the other was this weird hang gliding adventure pathwhere we kept getting shot w/ paint balls and he kept being like "dude I don't want to take that path, I just want to walk home normally" and i was like "oh okay" but then kept going on the path where we got shot with paintballs, and he asked like 4 times and I kept saying "yes okay we'll move" and then didn't

basically it was a sad dream abt my inconsiderate and self-centered tendencies (nb: I have a lot of these) and it bummed me out but it was also p funny I guess. Whoopi was p chill.

Man, last night was an all-star doozy. I was having a sort of big rambling BBQ party at my place (well a fictional my place), and I was keeping an eye on Aero's kid who suddenly decided to make a bolt for it and climb the screen door, much to dad's displeasure who plucked him from the door and told him off.

Then, uninvited, my party was gatecrashed by MWhite, Ronan, Gareth and jaymc. MW wanted to start shit and was being menacing.

Was in a doctor's office with my wife and daughter. I am completely naked and ran there naked through the streets of the city. We were all waiting for my kid to be called back, but meanwhile we were listening to the office staff argue about the incentive perks that they would get if they performed certain procedures on patients. Like "You said if we {name of procedure] we should have enough points to get a coffee machine!" "When are we going to have enough points to get a tropical vacation?" pplains shows up and explains to me that these people are scientologists. He shows me a magazine article about Scientologist Navojo sand artist named Almovar. Halfway down the page, Almovar replies to PP: "Hello Pleasant Plains, this is "Jackin'" Jackomar! I don't know how I got wrapped up with these Scientologists. They're like what happened when the hippies all got haircuts. I hope this helps!"

this isn't recent, but a few months ago I dreamt that I was standing on the lawn of a vast, hilly plantation, talking to some unnamed ilxors as we prepared for a FAP. pretty soon the plantation owner (who happened to be Ned Raggett) drove up to us in his car. his trunk was open and filled with loose papers. "are those your reviews?" I asked Ned. "no, second grade," he said. sure enough, he had saved all of his old second grade schoolwork, and he carried it with him wherever he went. after a minute he drove off toward his mansion and we followed him on foot.

A drop of coffee here coloring one of the sand-dollars, a dot of mustard coloring another.

My wife and I were visiting the twin cities and on our way to meet up with jjjusten at his store. We reach the top of this huge hill with sporadic patches of snow on it. Mrs. Life decides to grab a sled and slide down. "I'll see you at the bottom," she yells. As soon as she disappears from view, I receive a text message from her: can u shovel the snow? jjjusten is worried that if his sidewalk is too slippery, everyone will shop at the competition, benjamin dutton's.

I think his worry is baseless considering that there really isn't all that much snow, so I keep walking on. I'm chatting with some random local about this as I walk and they're like "Benjamin Dutton's? Are they still around? I haven't been there in years, but it's a local Minneapolis sporting goods institution."

He leads me into this warehouse-like store, where I'm greeted by a Benjamin Dutton's employee. She's a disinterested retirement-aged woman with cat-eye glasses reciting their corporate spiel in a dull monotone. "Welcome to Benjamin Dutton's. All we've really got are these racks of emulators. If you want to try out a pedal, one of our associates can try to figure out what it might sound like if you plugged it into your personal rig."

one month passes...

had a good'un a week or so ago, that i wrote down quickly after I woke up from it and before going back to sleep:

A wintry late afternoon in a dark portside London, gulls and the smell of brine. Several separate sets of events that I can't piece together in consecutive order now.

I remember turning up a snicket away from the port (out of an undefined sense of fear of beign on the main street). Dark tarry doors on either side, one of which led into a labyrinthine pubs set across several floors communicated via narrow wooden staircases. On the ground floor young set of men in the pub affecting piratical costumes and manner, as a form of recreation. Further up and on a landing, a set of early middle aged bowler hatted city clerks, would fly across skies and seas like a black cloud of ragged bats - I saw them on the way up, but in fact this bit was revealed by looking in a notebook on the top floor. There were pencil sketches of their tattered flapping nocturnal flights - looked very like Goya, and sinister, and I still have a very clear image of what that looked like, and could draw it if I had the skill.

When I woke up I wrote some notes, and here wrote (in that sort of semi-woken state you have when writing down dreams, that seems to communicate directly from the dream: 'Through their simple Romanticism they opposed the Variations of Beëzlebub and Baal.' I have no idea what that means, and it was more like a dreamed supplementary glossary.

At the very top of the house - and I can't remember whether I saw this or if it was in the notebooks I found, but there was either a dying old woman, or a woman who lived there once. There was a book typeset in a Victorian manner - heavy serif small text, v spacious leading - detailing her life. There was a line drawing at the beginning, lightly coloured. Notes again: 'Through a simple piety (insert tracing paper between picture and page) lived in the attic of the pub and later in life feel in love with an extremely old and decayed man.' There was also a picture of him (when he was younger) - a curious bifurcated picture so that his face was split in terms of expressions - very odd, almost modern. Sombre and slightly smiling.

Later (or before) in the rain I lost my trainers and doubled back and found a church very central and symmetrical in my dream - early romanesque not so baroque. It stood very gloomy and gothic in the rain. I walked up to it - in the words of my dream, describing myself, 'a simple prelate'. My dream-mind chose completely the wrong word - I was not at all high up, but a neophyte of some sort. Found myself dressed in simple white robes. Climbed stairs to an arch high over the ground, with the intention of throwing myself off (no fear or worry, this was just something I was going to do). A churchman appeared behind me and saw my silhouette in the arch against the dark evening rain and sky and called out. This surprised me so that I half turned and fell at the same time, and as I was falling thought as I had been surprised I hadn't really done it right. My last thought was of the absurdity of this thought - literally 'What does it matter you idiot?!' before dashing my brains out on the stone base of a pillar. This was not frightening or nightmarish in any way. Whole dream seemed suffused with melancholy fatalistic gloom that was quite enjoyable.

Whiney G. Weingarten and I were walking around London, looking for a place to eat ice cream. We found a Cold Stone Creamery location and ducked inside. The music on the in-store play was the Beatles' She Loves You. Whiney starts going off loudly and vocally about how much he hates the Beatles. The next song is While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Whiney keeps it up, chanting "The Beatles suck!" I join in. "The Beatles suck! Clapton sucks!" Eventually, this wears down the poor ice cream stand proprietor and he changes the music to some noise rock. Whiney is exultant. "Yes! Yes! Do you realize what we just DID here?" Skeptical, I glance over at the shopkeeper, who looks unperturbed by the change of music. In fact, he has a secret smile. I take a closer listen to the noise-rock. It is a Melt-Banana cover of Within You, Without You.

Imago was away at a conference so I met wins and flopson at the station. We walked around some of the tourist sites of London, which included Euston Cemetery - 'over 600 acres of memorials and art'. We got some beer and sat in the cemetery talking, mostly about my script for a crime drama series starring Sarah Paulson which featured even more lines about her haircut than ACS. Flopson was wearing a raincoat with the hood up the entire time even though it was sunny. There was an extended sequence where wins got upset at one of the sculptures and we had to comfort him. We walked back to my apartment in the King's Cross grand hotel to wait for imago to get home. I was looking forward to surprising him with some of his ILX friends! But when he got home he came into the kitchen and just sat looking at the table for a very long time - angry. Then began the most terrifying argument I have ever heard between imago and flopson - just this neverending battle of expletive-filled attacks. I tried to make dinner awkwardly in the hope that it would get resolved while wins played N64 in the front room.

I had a dream about an ilxor/pitchfork writer. I can't remember who exactly it was, but if you're on here and write for pitchfork, presume it was you.

After I had finished fighting a lion underwater, a royal messenger came to me from King Trump, who had decided to award the ilxor a prize for their most recent book they had published. The prize was a whole bunch of cash money, including a 1 million dollar bill as well as some smaller denominations. I went to find the ilxor to deliver it to them, but in the meantime, they had gotten into a road rage confrontation with this asshole driver who hadn't acknowledged their right-of-way at a pedestrian crossing. And in between the time I had started looking for them and when I found them, they had written a huge screed about the incident and published it on pitchfork.com. They made me read the whole thing before I could deliver the message from King Trump and the prize money. The article had a detailed personal narrative, eyewitness accounts, and cell-phone footage. Reading through it, it became obvious that the asshole driver was Donald Trump, Jr. and we had a real problem on our hands.

In the centre of Bip was all these enormous public art installations. Kind of an intersection between trash art and reclaimed slabs of Roman-era stone

We walked through the town quickly. I read a brochure describing how the town of Bip got its name, but I can’t reemmeber what it said. Up above the ruined amphitheatre was a cultural centre style building adorned with Mason and Rotary symbols. The banner above the door said The Sons Of Bip

i went out for a smoke with tracer hand (i do not smoke nor do i actually know what tracer looks like) but the convivial atmosphere was punctured when we noticed a man dressed as spider-man 2099 skiing along a powerline high overhead

as i astutely pointed out 'hey that guy's dressed as spider-man 2099!' the mysterious skiier slipped, lost his balance and tumbled 100 feet or so to land in a crumpled, broken heap in the snowbound field across the road in front of us

Trying to get as much of this down as I can before it evaporates.

A group of ilxors were on our way to Carl Sandburg Mall in Galesburg, IL. On the way there, I warned everybody to be careful in traffic because "for us it's this dinky little mall, but for farm people Galesburg is the Big City and they'll come from hours away just to drunkenly cruise the strip." We enter through Kmart. As we're walking through the hair care aisle, Karl Malone checks to see if they have sulfate-free shampoo (they do!). ENBB and I split off and walk around talking about how when you're a kid you use the architecture of the mall to jump on and imaginative play. "this planter is a rocket ship!" "these stairs are a lava river!" etc. We stop in front of a closed Lego store. Lego had gone out of business. There was a mechanical pulse in the floor that would create these microearthquakes about every 30 seconds and every time it shook, all of the elaborate lego sculptures would break apart just a little bit and the pieces would pile up on the floor. In the front window of the Lego store were a pile of used cassette tapes. ENBB picked one out and put it on it was 50 Foot Wave. I was so excited to hear Kristin Hersh in my dream! Kerr showed up and he started talking about a number of different bands. Then Katherine showed up and was telling ENBB "You should really get a huge collection of shitty cassettes..." My eyes lighted on an old yellow Memorex cassette and I was so excited. I kept wanting to tell the gathered ilxors "look! It's my sister's copy of Grease!" But no words would come out. Then I woke up.

i have been taking a kind of medicine that apparently has a "weird dreams" side effect. my dreams have always been weird, which i consider one of the very best things in my life. now they're weird in a different way. i always used to have dreams with anonymous people. there would be people that i would interact with, but more often than not i wouldn't know who they were. now, on this medication, i almost always know who they are, so it's like an endless series of guest appearances by friends, family, and celebrities.

obama was in my dream last night. he tried to convince me (and he did convince me) that i should try to go to law school. we started talking about places he recommended, him writing a recommendation letter, etc, but he got distracted by a wall of screens showing a sport that doesn't exist but was popular in this dream world. i started watching sports too and got engrossed in the game, and by the time i snapped out of it, obama was gone and i was dejected because i knew i'd never get his letter of recommendation and had missed a key opportunity.

I had another dream in which I made a post to ILX, except this time it was in the middle of a bizarre series of dreams. I've been feeling extremely ill since the beginning of the month and was operating on ridiculously little sleep until three nights ago, at which point I began catching up on all the sleep my illness was preventing me from getting. As a result, I've been experiencing a massive amount of dreams per night lately, all jumbled together in a bizarre dream collage. In the middle of one of those dream collages, I remember stopping the dream-action to sit in front of a computer and post something to ILX. It wasn't an existing thread or anything, just something that coincidentally happened to touch on a topic I was dreaming about at that moment; because of that, I felt I had to contribute in the dream version of ILX. Living the dream right now, let me tell you.

"malt" drinks. i was pretending to look for something that i didn't have, something small. i felt guilty. i overheard a faint story someone was telling. a man wanted to split a purchase with me over a bottle of 'ulls' water (Lake Ullswater is a lake in England). it tasted like the earth, and you could see all the sediment floating away in the drink - but the bottle looked like naptha spirits. i was in the back room again, looking for a harmonica; i knew that they didn't sell any, but there were two old ones atop a really dusty cabinet. i thought about stealing them but i knew they were just toys, and too sentimental to the owner. i turned back away from the refrigerator to the sound of a small crowd singing me happy birthday - except, they weren't sure of my name... so everytime they'd get to it - "happy birthday to...", there was a stifled pause between all of them.

then, writing to a friend on the computer about a woman i'd dreamt of. she was angry that i'd used her pastry. i was joking about it to her, saying "well karen it's a mushroom pie now and it's not fucking coming back".

So I had my first semi-ILX-related dream the other night and it was one of the most terrifying of my life.

I was trapped miles underground with some other ILXors and the only way out was to climb a metal ladder that was in a shaft the diameter of a manhole. For miles and miles. It was known that there was a problem at some juncture in the ladder/shaft that would require manipulating the ladder or a gap somehow (this was not clear) making the climb even more dangerous. We begin the climb and I realize that I am in the middle of the climbers and if I fall I will take out the climbers below me, which include upper mississippi sh@kedown. I am not crazy about ladders and the dream was wave after wave of the most intense fear of heights/falling.

I woke up and my shirt was absolutely soaked through.

I was sitting down for lunch with my wife and parents and the National Mall, which had become an Actual Mall, when I realized that I was only wearing jeans and no shirt. I decided that I would need to at least need to change into shorts to make myself presentable for dining, so I set off in search of a JC Penney. "I'll be back in 5 minutes," I told them. But the Mall was so huge that I was having trouble finding JC Penney.

It was then that I ran into frequent dream guest-star Karl Malone! He was already wearing shorts and had a shirt on, but agreed to help me in my quest. As we turned a corner, we came to a storefront-turned-office that we knew was the headquarters of unspeakable evil. Some real estate or stockbroking company or something. We steeled ourselves as we walked in, prepared to ask the receptionist if she knew where JC Penney was, and hoping that we wouldn't be sussed out for whatever it was we were guilty of in their eyes. Fortunately, no one was in there and we were able to walk straight through.

On the other side, there was a shoe shine booth, staffed by an old man with a pushbroom mustache. We asked him if he knew where JC Penney was. He replied that we might want to check out a store called "Black Tie White Tie" instead. I'm thinking that this is some amalgam of real-life mall women's fashion store Black Market White House and David Bowie's album Black Tie White Noise, which Alfred had mentioned on the US Politics thread yesterday. It was then that the old man's phone started to ring. And everybody's phone started to ring. As the old man answered, his face drew into a rictus of horror. He couldn't speak a word. And I had left my phone back on the table with my family.

Was in a VIP lounge doing coke with s1ocki. A Black woman with a clipboard appeared at the top of the stairs and asked for the name of my party.

WIZARD IS HUNGRY, I told her and then immediately felt these cold slices of horrible regret. WIZARD, -- LIKE A *MAGICAL* WIZARD, I clarified for her.

I don't know why I'm such an asshole.

one month passes...

I was back in college at some state university. When I got to my history class, who was the professor but Saddam Hussein! He was looking young, trim, healthy. And as the students filed in for class, he was showing off his cool Iraqi tambourine. It wasn't like any actual instrument - it was very big and blue and had many more bells and jingles attached to it. He was very proud of it and hoped to win us over with his Iraqi tambourine songs. But I thought quietly to myself - I can't believe the school hired a brutal dictator to teach a history class. Just then, Mr. Hussein received word that his offer of employment had been rescinded. I guess the school was reading my mind or something. With a downcast expression, he excused himself from the classroom but urged us students to never stop learning.

After class, I found myself outside of a moderately-large craftsman house with Karl Malone. Karl, I have no idea why you keep ending up in my ILX

I keep accidentally hitting Tab and then Enter instead of shift. This is irritating. ANYWAYS.

...ILX dreams.

Karl had a window unit air conditioner and said that he wasn't sure if he was going to install it. And I was like "it sure is hot out here, why wouldn't you install it?" But then I remembered that Karl is an avid environmentalist and probably wants to cut down on electricity use to reduce carbon emissions. But he says he would like to install it, but just doesn't know how. And I, having done this a few dozen times, offered to help. "See, we could put it in this downstairs window, but you could also install it in an upstairs room and the air would flow down and partially cool the downstairs as well, depending on whether you wanted to leave a door open up there." Karl thanked me for my expertise and set off to find an extension cord while I put the AC in.

I realized that this was some kind of cooperative student housing, with lots of students and resident life staff coming and going. I went to look in the basement and it was huge! Unfinished and dusty, but it was the size of a warehouse. I have dreamed of huge basements before and I thought to myself "this is the basement of my dreams." That phrase kept repeating itself in my mind. I ran back into Karl - he had a backpack slung over his shoulder, heading back to class. As we walked toward the exit of the house through the living room, we entered a field of clocks. I mentioned something I had read, that if you look at a clock once and read a specific time, but then you look away and look back and see a different time, you're in a dream. And then exactly that happened! I enthusiastically showed Karl, who was like "cool, I'll see you later" and left. I was very excited to realize that I was dreaming and tried to exercise some willpower over the situation. I decided to walk back upstairs in the house and found a huge spread of food. It was supposed to be like, your standard spread of cheese and fruits, but nothing looked recognizable. Weird blue and green shapes. Suddenly everything went black.

***end ilx portion of dream***

I woke up the next morning in a bed at the end of a long pier. It was parallel to a bridge and cars and trucks were driving past. I was damp all over and couldn't remember a thing, but began to recognize this as a cheap hotel that I occasionally frequented. I made my way to the front desk, which was three old ladies standing in a small deli where the pier met the land. I struggled to form my words or coherent thoughts.

"How much'll it be?"
"Forty-five dollars."
"Five dollars? Ok."
"FORTY-five dollars."
"Isn't usually a bit cheaper?"
"Tell that to all the young ladies causing a ruckus in my hotel last night."

Young ladies? And I couldn't remember them? Just my luck.

I tried to get some money out of my wallet, but it was all soggy and sticking together. I didn't have enough money, but remembered I had some bucket hats in my backpack. When I opened it, an empty bottle of booze fell out. The counter women were looking at me with a mixture of amusement and scorn. I pulled out of the stack of bucket hats, each with a denomination embroidered on it: $5, $5, $10. One of the women turned to her friend and said "I'll have to see if management will accept this." They all had a chuckle over this. I finally asked if they had an ATM and they pointed me around the corner. As I walked past, a mother shielded her child's eyes from the sight of me. I kept thinking about Saddam. I swiped my debit card in the ATM and woke up, for real this time.

Last night I had an extended anthology of dreams in which “budo jeru” appeared as both:

1) the name of an overpaid rookie football player, like a johnny manziel type, and

2) a macguffin, some arcane engine part that would contribute a significant multiplier to power output.

No ilxors in my dream this time, but I was waiting in a really long line at a coffee shop. When I finally got to the front, the clerk asked for my order. I said, "What's the name of those cookies you're so famous for?" He replied, "Oh, you mean the Acura ILX!"

Last Night:

Perhaps a couple of months before the dream's present I had posted a Spotify playlist on ILM trying to capture the vibe of living in the Mid-Atlantic states (MD/DE/PA/NJ) and specifically, maybe, OCMD. The only musical artist from the playlist that I recall was John Mellencamp.

In the dream present, I am in OCMD and I pull up ILM and see that JCLC has started a new thread and written an essay-length post exploring/interrogating the world/genre implied by my playlist. I was thrilled. Most of the dream consisted of me drafting a post in reply, the thrust of which was that a central element of this vibe/genre was the presence of MAC machines in the Mid-Atlantic region. (For those unfamiliar, MAC, or Money Access Center, was what an ATM was called in this region in the late 80s/early 90s. They had a very distinctive blue color with a white MAC logo on rainbow stripes).

A song I could not quite identify was playing while I was composing my post but upon waking was confirmed to be The Incredible String Band's "You Get Brighter."

I met Ned Raggett in a park where he told me he had obtained the rights and original art to Usagi Yojimbo and could I negotiate a deal for him for the licensing rights at $120. I then met the guy who ran my LCS 10 years ago in a different park, who would do the deal and print one set which he would buy himself for £12000 and therefore show a huge profit to the business. The rest of the dream was a lot of lecturing by me to both of them explaining why their plans made no commercial sense.

I think I've had two ILX dreams in my life and both featured Ned. Obsessed.

i had a dream that i let someone give me a tattoo. didn't want to choose -- it could be anything they wanted. at first, it was a simple line illustration, i think a little whale, and i was happy with it. but over time it expanded, it took over my whole arm, and the whale motif was intermingled wiht a design that included the new england patriots logo. i was mortified and complained to *redacted, a non-ilxor*, who lectured me on being too self-absorbed, asking why i cared so much what my arm looked like. then i went to ilx and complained and all of you gave me the same lecture, chastising me for my vanity. i think i was even driven off ilx and facebook for criticizing the tattoo artist and the magic, morphing tattoo he gave me.

Whiney G. Weingarten (who in my dream looked like Mr. Show-era David Cross) had moved to Berkeley and was a DJ on KALX and had his own public affairs show that was a mix of politics and comedy. He was working in the production studio editing his show, and he had full-color screen-printed posters with 2007-era DIY show aesthetics that said "WHINEY G. WEINGARTEN" and came out of the production studio wearing a t-shirt that said WHINEY G. WEINGARTEN on it.

I hadn't quite mustered up the confidence to ask him why he was wearing a t-shirt with his name on it and how that affects his hipster evaluation score before the dream ended

Dreamed that all the other ilxors lived on one street in my neighborhood that had gates at either end of it - not big guarded ones, little ones that you could walk through, but enough to mark the street off as the exclusive domain of ilx. In the dream I finally got up the nerve to walk down that street, and I chatted with some ilxors there but didn't identify myself as one of them.

I was at a bar in my hometown. I receive a tip that Matt Berry is coming to hang out for some reason. It's 9 PM and I decide to go say hi but first I have to go to the bathroom. By the time I exit it is 3 AM and I think "oh my god, I just lost 3 1/2 hours, something's wrong with me" (though I realize now it was 6 hours? at the time I thought it was 3 1/2). Matt Berry is still there though and I go up to him to say hi. I ask him about the band Cluster, because he mentioned in some video that he really likes their second album. So I ask him if he likes all their albums and he says "I do even though I haven't got fuck all idea what they're singing about" (every Cluster album is completely instrumental, but that doesn't occur to me at the time). I say "I hate to do this but can we take a photo together". He agrees and sure enough my phone camera doesn't work, it keeps putting a weird filter on everything. Eventually a couple of people from the "What We Do in the Shadows Social Media Team" approach me and say "Thank you for being a fan, Mr. Berry will take one photo with you but then he has to go." They take a picture and print it out on that real cheap printer paper. I'm excited to show my friends but when I look at it, it has this frame full of bats on it so you can't see either of our faces. All you can see is a Miami Heat fan at the bar watching basketball, even though it is now 4 AM and basketball season hasn't even started yet. I start driving home and think about what I'm gonna say to my wife, since I've been gone for hours and apparently just blacked out for a large chunk of time. I notice my car is growing a horn.

Had this dream where I showed up at this nondescript building and the “owner of ilx” (not who it actually is, some completely fictional person) was like, I’ve deleted your account, can you go to this room? And the room was like a waiting area with other apparently now ex-ilxors? Matt DC was there soon after me & he threw a laptop he had with him at the wall (in this dream reality we…brought our own devices to the building to work there? I don’t know). Someone else (not a real ilx poster) showed up and was like, the owner is deleting the accounts of everyone less famous than Jake Lamb and making it into a music industry insider board. Jake Lamb?! I said. My better half showed up and was like, yeah they deleted my account, yeah I got four weeks notice. Then everyone in the room was like…are we unemployed now?

I was on an impossibly tall riverboat looking down at the water from a great height and disembarked at a huge warehouse. I escaped a human threshing machine that emerged from the ceiling and then noticed rows of cubby shelves with pies in them and was trying to alert people that there were probably human remains in these pies, but was completely muted and couldn't talk. Then I was told by someone I'd make a very good social worker and there was a place on a course for me. I told them I fucking hate social workers and they said that's precisely why you'd be a very good one! I was looking at a desk in a giant warehouse with rows of desks, which was presumably a place where they train social workers in my stupid dream. On my desk there was a picture of me looking unrealistically handsome and with a full head of hair. And I was thinking this is blatant flattery, this is a scam.

He woke up and grabbed one of the hobbits by its hair to eat it. The hobbit screamed "hair!" and a bunch of its friends wrapped themselves around him until his hair broke and the massive guy gave up.
