@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

The stuff of which dreams are made
« on: May 14, 2006, 09:14:51 pm »
I have three really vivid dreams from my younger years.  One is so bizarre and trippy that I can't even begin to explain it.  The other involves a Joe Pesci-like character from Home Alone breaking into my room, but actually being pretty nice about it.  The other involves:

Teeny Little Super Guy.

I don't remember the dream that well, only that TLSG was in it.

Anyway, for years the character has been somewhere at the back of my mind.  Today, I watched another Sesame Street clip on a friend's blog, and had this crazy idea to try to find a clip or something on my guy.  I didn't remember the character's name, so googled something like: 'sesame street little cup guy walking clips,' and found his Wiki entry.  Then I googled 'Teeny Little Super Guy' and came up with some YouTube links.

Thanks Google, Wiki, and YouTube for helping recover a part of my childhood!  If only there existed a DVD compilation of TLSG clips.

Oh god... Teeny Little Super Guy...


that weird columbo voice and the like... dammit.. now it's stuck in my head.

Damn you miles.. damn you...

Now I can think of the guy with the 10 banana cream pies who falls down the stairs...   and the "Me and My Llama" song and the buttonhole song and the.. oh fuckit.. damn you.

Teeny Little Super Guy used to be on TV all the time when I was a nipper. I was so enamoured with his antics that one day I got all the good glass and drew little people on them at five in the morning. When my Dad burst into the kitchen I promptly knocked half the glasses onto the floor, with only the champagne flutes that formed the enemy army still standing.

Poor Judy had his legs broke.

The youngest dreams I can remember are by far the most insane, surrealistic and the most frightening.  That shit is just pure subconsious goin' nuts.  No fancy learnin' to get in the way.

If I had dreams like those nowadays, my heart would certainly stop in my sleep.

my little sister once had a dream that her pacifiers had returned for revenge (after she gave them up due to age).

it was a really terrifying dream.

my most bizzare dream at a young age was from this wierd Alice in Wonderland TV show. there were these two characters, and I dreampt that they were teling me my fortune-- "you will never dream again! You will never dream again!" in suitably wavery and creepy voices.

One of the first dreams I remember as actually having a narrative is also one of the scariest dreams I've ever had. I dreamt that I woke up in the middle of the night, in my room, except that my bed had been surrounded by some sort of plexiglass box and I couldn't leave. I was just... trapped. It's strange, because there wasn't any imminent danger and I'm not claustrophobic, but... holy crap, terror.

No, but I am about to go to graduate school in behavioral neuroscience, and I did just finish an experiment involving putting neonatal rats into restraint stress (although that was just for transport)... maybe I was prescient all along!

One of the earliest dreams I remember is of bad guys breaking into my bedroom at night and pulling on my toenails.

One of my earliest, most terrifying dreams I can remember: Vampires in a ball pit.  It is extremely hard to escape vampires when you are sinking and struggling in a room full of plastic balls.  I was so afraid of vampires as a kid that my parents tried to help by purchasing a book meant to alleviate my fears (it dealt with many frightening childhood monsters, including vampires), but the book ended up scaring me so much that I begged my parents to keep it in their room at night.
