dreams are for winners and i never lose.


i had a dream as i sometimes do.

so i woke up with the memory of an hysterical dream in my head... it was so hysterical at one o'clock in the morn that, after i peed, i went to the kitchen, found a pen, pad of paper and wrote that shit down. i wrote it down, a smile on my lips, knowing, knowing that the next day it would be even more fabulous. it would be the most funny story about trying to blow out a candle EVER, ever, man.

and then i read it.

i was like, "what? did you write down? blowing out candles? that's funny?" i couldn't even get that feeling that i had from my dream. i couldn't even get back in the mood. i couldn't even fool myself that if i could just get it on paper, it might be hilarious. i couldn't even lie to myself that maybe if someone had the same dream that i had, they would think it was funny.

i couldn't even read my handwriting.

does that ever happen to you? do you have dreams that seem so great slash funny slash shareable when in fact, they do not stand up to the light of day? it happens to me allllll the time. if you could just get all up in my head, you would think it was funny. blowing out candles is funny. i swear-ah!


but really, i love my dreams. i think they definitely translate from my life. if i'm nervous, anxious i have horrible dreams. they usually don't have anything to do with the actual problem, just the basic emotions. if i wake up to a dream i don't like i try to go back to sleep (or pseudo sleep) to try to fix what's wrong. then sometimes, there's that dream that just comes out of nowhere.

and that's the time, we talked about blowing out candles in an hilarious manner. what do you dream about?

ps someone, probably not me, but maybe me, opened a twitter account for their dog. weird. also, this: pantsthedog may or may not be my dog. maybe it's your dog. i don't know, i'm not some sort of a dog expert. oh... wait...

pps it's for research. about things. so, don't judge. (whores)

UPDATE: i think everyone hates me because i made a twitter for my dog. (allegedly) (we can't really be sure)

I am so going to follow your dog. Right now. As far as dreams go, It's kinda sad. I sometimes dream of things like eating a fountain of squeeze cheese, but usually I have scary dreams if I remember them. I can't remember any funny ones.. Sad face. Maybe I need to meditate before sleep or something.

Last night, I had a full glass of red wine and 2 cold pills (Because I HAVE a cold, tyvm). The dreams were wild. I can't remember them, but gawd they were genius. Like Naked Lunch.

Nikki said...

I did the same thing the other night and was like..I'm totally going to blog about this. But now I don't really remember...something to do with polygamy and my dogs, maybe I don't want to remember.

Unlike Chelle, my dreams are not Naked Lunch Geniusy.

They're usually sappy sad and involve Jeremiah leaving me for some super hot blonde chick with a rocking body.

Or they involve us going away on vacation...super boring.

Or they involve being kidnapped by Vic.

I hate your dog's twitter account.

But I love your hilarious dream! Blowing out candles! HAHAHA I get it.

1. I am so following your dog.

2. I, too, try to go back to sleep to "fix" a dream I dislike. Usually, even the second time around I can't solve any problems and I make things even worse.

I once had a dream that the tv channels were IP Addresses. Seemed fascinating to me at the time.. now.. not as much.

I am now following @pantsthedog on Twitter. :)

Dude, I totally wrote the best hit song in the history of music in my sleep. Even I was awed by its fabulosity factor, yet when I woke up I couldn't remember a damn note. But I'm SURE I wrote it and would now be a millionaire if only it could be remembered. Hypnotism maybe?

Alexandra Crocodile said...

your dog has a twitter?! lovely!

i dream a lot, mostly things that are frustrating and makes no sense, you know, trying desperately to put boxes on top of each other and not making it. bah.

i tend to have dreams that i believe could be made into the best film ever....and then i realize that these ideas are very retarded.

i've been writing down all my crazy dreams here: http://zortian.blogspot.com !

i love dreams too. i always look them up!

i dream a lot about driving up a steep hill thats a bridge. sometimes theres water that comes up over the bridge. sometimes i cant get to the top.

i use to dream my teeth fall out a lot, but thats when i was in a different place for years.

I had a funny dream one time that actually turned out to be funny the next morning. I had been previously stymied by exactly the situation you brought up, so I wrote it down and it was fun-ny. But I can't remember what it was now. I hope I didn't dream about writing it down and having a good laugh the next morning down at the IHop? Maybe I'm dreaming that you wrote this part to wake me up?

Big Mama Cass said...

chiefy- well, that's not very nice... she's very sensitive.

hc- you follow it! woo! i'm so glad someone else fixes their dreams. i think my mom first told me to do it. i was a very sensitive child.

mrs. l- dreams are so weird. she's waggin' her lovely tail.

veg- dude that's exciting. you're like a dream millionaire.

ac- isn't is just?

trs- imma check it out. i think some dreams can be the base of something big. (at least that's what i think about this other dream i had the other day that i spent like ferrrever writing out) (fingers crossed)

fizzy- where do you look them up? you have a dream book? (lalalalalalalaalalalaaaa, not thinking about teeth falling out!!!!)

eric- NO! WAY! i'll pinch you now.

bmc- do it, do it! um, is it because eels don't have feet? because you just blew my mind :)
