That's not how I meant late either, but I'll let it slide.  Continue with your 'Stad obsession.

All my dreams have been about wacky fantasy crap lately. A few nights ago I dreamed that I was LARPing some kind of reverse Angband where, as Satan (or maybe Morgoth; I'm not sure) I had battled my way out of the depths and now had to race to the bell tower at my college to signal my victory before I was caught. To represent my role, I was wearing a big black cape and carrying around a heavy costume-type sword as I ran through campus. There was an immense sense of urgency, even though nobody actually seemed to be pursuing me (or even concerned that I was running through foot traffic in a black cape with a big ol' sword), and the dream ended just when I reached the bell tower. Eerie.

I really do have dreams where apocalyptic giant machines are mowing us all down. Sometimes, I am the machine.

I hope everyone who has played Half Life 2 has nightmares about those fuck*ng poison and fast zombies. I have not wet the bed yet, though the daily nightmare of a skeleton-like being galloping towards you screaming horribly means it can only be a matter of time.

Sometimes I have nice dreams when I'm seeing the Buzzcocks live in concert (when they were young'uns) and Pete Shelley grabs me from the audience and kisses me.

This morning, right before I woke up, I heard "I go tanning to work out issues I have with my midget wrestlers".  This was spoken by a female bigfoot who was lying in a tanning bed with those goggle things on.  The "camera panned out" to reveal two little people who were indeed wearing Mexican Wrestling masks and grimacing.

Jeneane Garofalo was sitting near by painted green and wearing a muscle suit in an attempt to be the Incredible Hulk.  She was laughing hysterically.

I really wish I knew what the rest of the dream was about.

Yesterday, I dreamed that I was a student in a huge impersonal high school (nothing like my small and easy to navigate highschool of yore), and that I had forgotten my backpack in a classroom.  My backpack contained all the information I needed to study for a test I had the next day in a Math class I hadn't bothered to attend.  A class that I had to pass if I wanted to graduate.  The school was huge and all the classrooms looked the same, and were full of classes I was interrupting, so I couldn't find the room I'd left my bag in, nevermind the bag itself.  A disapproving authoritarian principal, who looked vaguely like someone I'd seen in a movie, and was several feet taller than me was getting more and more pissed off at me as I tried to find the room.  to avoid his disapproving stare, I ended  up in back hallways and eventually got lost in basement -like places with pipes and steam.  I never did find the room or my bag.

I thought high school-based anxiety dreams ended after you graduated highschool, but apparently graduating high school and university and excelling in my career field are not enough to keep this dream away.  I have had several similar dreams, most notably this one and another like it both in the past week.

I'm no psychologist, but I'd say this is Indonesia related anxiety.

Good point. Clearly the backback represents your passport/plane tickets and the huge high school represents an airport. The authoritarian principal represents having seen Ferris Bueller too many times.

just a minute ago, I awoke from a dream that my two cats were colluding to kill my in my sleep. the fatter, masculine cat was sitting on my face, and the smaller, feminine cat was kind of on my arms so I couldn't move. In the dream, they were apparently heavy/strong enough that I could not simply lift them off.

I still have the high school dream and the college variant, but only at stressful times. Usually when a big grant was due or some big report I had procrastinated on needed to be written or something like that. Only work-related stuff triggers it; life stresses don't seem to affect my dreams.

Well the most delightful Hobot has convinced me that I should share the dream I woke up to the other day, so here I present you myself, unedited:

"I woke up at 6:30 this morning by yelling "Suck me off Jennifer Grey!" all angrily, which is odd but not for the reasons you would think.  For one thing, I don't even like Jennifer Grey.  I mean, she was in what... Dirty Dancing and that's it?

Secondly, I wasn't even dreaming about Jennifer Gray doing anything of the sort.  I was instead dreaming that I was having tea with a monkey that was dressed in a Ship's Captain uniform.  We were discussing how best to go about invading Byzantium (leftovers from the Roman conquerer game I had been playing I suspect... oh my Ancient Rome obsession!) when I pointed out that his plan was a bit foolish as his ships would be blockaded with the winter seas.  He began howling and throwing chairs at me.. and that's when I woke up and yelled out about Jennifer Grey blowjobs apparently."

I hope it was worth it.

I just remembered another dream I had last night. It consisted of me being in that half-awake state, and hearing the following:

*phone ringing*
my mom: "oh, hi $SO!"
*vague noise of speech heard over phone (VNOSHOP)*
mum: "wow, you're calling daniel all the way from Italy? too bad he's still asleep!"
*VNOSHOP*
mum: "no, I'm sorry, I couldn't possibly wake him. I guess he'll see you when you come home!"
*VNOSHOP, sounding upset*
mum: "oh, you're staying there longer? oh well. I'll be sure to tell daniel to call you back."
*VNOSHOP*
"goodness! I forgot! you're in italy. I guess he won't call you, then. bye! *hangs up*"

so I woke up feeling pissed at my mum, and it took me a few hours to realize that it was because of a dream.

That had neither blowjobs nor monkeys in it.  I want my life back!

Not long ago, while I was still in Iowa, I awoke my father in the middle of the night by screaming "Goddamn!" before mumbling and whimpering and lapsing back into silence.  Apparently I have night terrors.

sorry, Q. I found it humorous that apparently my subconscious thinks of my mum as someone who will cheerfully fuck things up.

I guess it just isn't weird enough for you, you little shit.
