The SubUnConscious

Do any of you dream and recall with any regularity? Do you dream about things other than taking out the trash or being behind with a time-sensitive work task?
That is the quality of the majority of my dreams, when I remember them. Although, two nights ago I dreamt I walked into a house of homeschooled kids. You could tell by the home-done haircuts. Oh the DRAMA!

The other night Josh yelled out in the middle of the night. More a type of loud long moan, really. He was dreaming that a ghost, an old woman, was trying to smother him with the sheets of the bed. I last had a dream like that when I was like, eight. He has and recalls weird dreams like this all the time.

What's it all mean, really? I'm kind of jealous.

Was the woman in Josh's dream an old woman or an older woman, say...2 years older? Quit scaring him, Pat...is that what date night is?

yeah, you might want to lose the grey wig and knock off the auto asphixiation for a while...

My dream life, on a regular basis, is so active and intense...I feel like I never slept. I do my more while sleeping...than, I do when I'm awake! Ugh. (frown)

I have naked in church dreams about twice a year. Really. They're terrible. We'll be saying the Our Father or givning the sign of the peace or something and all of the sudden I'll be mortified to notice I'm naked and I try to crouch under the pew. I always wake up as I'm trying to hide and it takes me a few seconds to realize that it's all a horrible dream. Can anyone tell me what this means. Or maybe I'm so screwed up I don't want to know.

I have naked dreams...all the time! Of course I AM NOT at church...you sickie. However, I am out and about...the grocery store et cetera. What's funny is that I'm not, necessarily, horified at being naked...it's that I look sooo terrible...naked! ~ha!

I've never had a naked in church dream, but I used to be terrified that Jesus or Mary would appear to me. Like the little kids at Lourdes or Fatima, etc. I'd pray for it not to happen. I'd take out the line "thy will be done" from the Our Father.

Not on topic, but, Nance or Tom did you guys go to the funeral? I think Cathy was there, and I guess Joe went to the wake last night.

I have dreams about all my teeth falling out all the time. Usually around stressful events. It's a loss of control thing.

Yes, Joe III went to the wake and Cathy and Tom went to the funeral. Tom said it was very sad and there was, probably, a thousand people there.

I thought there would be a lot of people...the Farrell's are very well respected in town..Cathy talked to Darlene, but she can tell you more. A thousand people, that's 1/6 the town!

Monica, you should have married a dentist! But, no joking, I've never heard any dream sequences...dream talk, etc...refer to teeth falling out!

I had something great to say, but I'm full of pithy witticisms...where is Grace?

Dreams about one's teeth falling out is common...from what I know. Similar, to the dreams about, "falling."

So, I'm having a drink and talking to Nance...she tells me the teeth thing is VERY common, I had no clue! I would give my eye teeth (I think I already did) to know more about this phenom! Nance, Call me back...geeeez.

When I was little I had a recurring dream where the communists invaded a la RED DAWN. (I didn't even know what a communist was, but I knew they were bad) We were on the farm, running everywhere,hiding in the corn cribs, in the fields, it was total chaos. The commies tied Dad to a cross and his cross magically flew over the house and they were trying to shoot him. That's when I woke up. Very very strange and at the time very very terrifying.

When I was really young I had a dream that gangsters broke into our house while I was babysitting and while I was trying to hide the kids from them they shot me in the legs with gatling gun. I woke up and reached down in the dark and felt scars on my legs where the bullets had hit me. Also, when I was dating a guy (not Ryan) in Okinawa and he was back in the states on leave during Christmas, I dreamed I was in his California backyard with a swimming pool and I fell in and it was full of black snakes. Turned out he was cheating on me with his old girlfriend the whole time he was on leave.

Oh, and right after Ryan and I got engaged, Ryan had a very vivd dream about a man, who was related to me, having heart trouble. The man gave him some kind of message about me. The next day he was flipping through some of my snapshots and saw my Grandpa Jayjack(deceased)for the first time, and he looked exactly like the man in his dream. But I used to pray about my Grandpa all the time and I swear he was watching over me in boot camp. When I asked Ryan to marry me I did so because I felt Grandpa's spirit kick me in the ass and "say" this is the real thing, you polack!

Last night, I had a long and exhausting dream (won't bore you with the details) about my marriage to Tommy Lee. Yikes!

I wish I could put the breaks on MY dream life! (smile)

Man, I missed all the dream stuff. I used to have dream about flying all the time. I miss them. I also dreamed about being naked on State Street. Don't miss them. My other recurring dream was about being chased by a cyclops all around St. Cecelia's School. It was scary but had comic elements in i, like trying to run up that one sloping hallway and just spinning my wheels like a cartoon character. Also, the cyclops was in some mysterious way Ryan Lynch. I prefer not to analyze this element. And odd, anxious child, I know who you are! I used to pray not to be given stigmata.

I wish I could multitask like Nance

There is a common theme...the ex Mrs. Lee and Dolly...although Dolly's are real.

I remember having dreams in High School about getting pulled over by the cops and getting arrested. They were so real and vivid that I almost told mom and dad one morning that I had been arrested the night before (when I really hadn't).

Those dreams really sucked.

Anonymous said...

I wonder if Frank ever had dreams about you being arrested for something he did.

Anonymous said...

Frank may have had dreams about being arrested for something Ed did.....

Anonymous said...

i've never had a dream about being arrested. i did have a re-occuring dream in college where a lizard in a trenchcoat shot me Creightons parking lot. i haven't had that in years.

Anonymous said...

That lizard in the trenchcoat wasn't a dream...it was Joe Jarecki...it's why he went into the plumbing business.

I was trying to post a reply to Grace's last question but I MYSTERIOUSLY kept getting an error message. I actually feel sorry for Cheney - what an awful thing to happen. But it's typical of his arrogant imperialist attitude to decide not to tell anyone (his reasons suck - the vice president shoots a 78-year-old man hunting and it's nobody's business? Gimme a break). And did you catch how the President's press office deferred to the vice-president's office about releasing the story? You tell me who's running the show. Choices: A guy who thinks that if he shoots someone it's his own damn business or a spoiled, school-yard bully who thinks he can have a war and a tax cut for his rich pals at the same time. I also think the congressmen and senators Dem or Rep who bent over for this are chickenshits. So there.

Frank at Creighton didn't you go to a Halloween party as a lounge lizard once? The subunconscious will out. But how's it going with the shots and blood-sugar counts and all? Any news?

Anonymous said...

Yes, I went as Vic Gecko, lounge lizard.

The shots are going well. Just upped the insulin i take. We're getting to where i need to be i think.
