DREAMS...I have been having strange, vivid dreams recently. I did not enjoy last night. Horrific images of people I knew in dreamland who were injured or were hurting themselves or others. At one point, I was in a dirty, dingy apartment that belonged to someone that I knew very well but never named. I was rifling through the closets and drawers looking for something. I looked out the window and someone was taking telescopic pictures of me in the apartment. Someone, a man I know in the dream but can't identify while I am awake, comes in and tries to kiss me. I rebuke him. He has an injured foot that is wrapped in a bloody bandage. I continue rifling through the closets and hear a scream. He has lit himself on fire; is trying to kill himself. The last vision of him that I have is at the hospital, he is horribly burned but is still alive.
Suddenly, I was shopping in a mall and kept seeing people that I knew. Lisa was there with her kids in a store similar to Target. Mom and dad were on the escalator, I didn't see their faces but recognized one of mom's ugly t-shirts. Then I saw Grandma with a woman that she introduced as some sort of cousin or aunt. This woman had to be at least 7 feet tall. This was in JC Penney. Then I am in the Bon looking for a new purse and I am all alone.
I fall asleep in a dressing room and awaken on a floating spaceship kind of thing. It is set on a grid like an old-school video game. I am below and am shooting people off and pulling them off the grid so that they float in space forever. A TV crew is filming me but there is nowhere for them to transmit their feed since we are floating in space. Finally, everyone tips off the structure and we all float off forever. We don't really seem to live or die, we just float there without purpose or direction. I remember being upset because there was plenty of food and we could have survived on the structure for a long long time.
Right before I woke, I discovered that someone was watching all of this on TV, ala the Truman Show.
Weird.
Tsunami...I am still so sad and horrified by what I am seeing on the news. It is horrific and terrifying and I feel so much empathy for the people impacted. More maybe for those who lived even than those that died.Tsunami Death Toll Jumps Over 120,000Miscellaneous...I have 95 movies on my blockbuster waiting list. It will take me years to watch all of those. A good proportion of them are new or coming releases but there are also some classics or movies that I have missed somewhere along the way.
Watched more of Buffy, Season One last night. It is really quite good. I can see why it developed such a following. The characters are well drawn-even in early shows. I like a lot.
Well, I have rambled and slacked enough over the first 90 minutes of work. I should play productive and earn my keep for a while now.
