rabbits and mice

So I stayed over at some friends' last night, and I ended up getting some really weird dreams. I woke up with the impression that I had been talking in my sleep but nobody said anything about it so hopefully they didn't hear me...

(In my dream) I was reading this really really dirty underground comic strip, and for some reason it inspired me to draw some really dirty comic strips in my sketchbook. They involved nuclear warheads or something. I ended up filling every page in that sketchbook with dirty jokes and then I was so embarrassed that I tried to get rid of it, but I couldn't because people kept trying to get it from me.

Then I was taking a lot of pictures for class, and somehow I was able to get a photo of my friend Paul with a fishbowl on his head with water pouring from it and a giant goldfish in the air, and I kept thinking "oh man my teacher will love this! It's so perfect!" but for some reason I wasn't able to upload the pictures from my camera, and I got so upset that I smashed it.

And in another part of the dream, I was at a theme park and in line for a roller coaster where they put rabbits and mice in your pockets and you were supposed to keep them from falling out on the ride.

51st post

I wrote this dream before I forgot it, but I had it a while ago. One of my studio projects involves recording a dream and using it in a peice, so rather than try to have a new dream I'm recycling this one. And hey-- 51st post everybody! CELEBRATE! Also, trying present-tense this time to keep it interesting.

It starts out with one of the false awakenings. I wake up with the sensation that I overslept way too late, and so I rush downstairs to go on my way to school. As I go out the front door, my gramma is on the porch, and outside it is pitch black, and the air is crackling and thunderclouds are rolling this way. I'm concerned, because I don't want to ride my bike to school in that weather, so I announce to gramma that class was cancelled and I'm staying inside. I go back upstairs, happy to be getting more sleep in, despite the apocolyptic weather.

There is a giant, fat snake on my bed. It hisses and rears its head to attack me, and I am terrified. Running into the other room, I trip over some tools and rubbish and hit my head against a Bad Batz-maru shelf unit. I think to myself, 'did Dad instruct the maids to build this for me?' and lock myself in the bathroom to get away from the snake. Then, two people burst in through the skylight. It happens to be two dudes that are my friends, but as to which ones, I don't know, perhaps all of them. They say, "Let's go! We have to get to the Arby's!" and then we are back on my porch.

It's raining terribly now, and there is a flood. Water is everywhere, and quickly rising. The snake suddenly appears behind me, only now it has sprouted some stubby legs, so now its a giant salamander. In terror I jump back I and fall into the water. My friends heroicly dive in to save me, and as we're all in the water these three half-naked mexican chicks grab on to us. That's a little bit creepy, but what's creepier is that all of us holding hands lifts us into the air and spirits us away to the nearest Arby's. At Arby's, there are people trying to film a rap video, but there are so many people escaping the apocolypse that the place is too crowded.

It gets weirder, but I don't feel like typing it all. At the Arby's, I discover that there are a lot of people eating little squares of jelly on toast, and that it happens to be an excusive club. I notice one of my friends is eating the same thing, though he says he was kicked out of the club. He launches into a tale of how he used to be a babysitter but then became an international car thief and fell in love with a 60 year old woman. Towards the end of the dream Tiago shows up at the Arby's and some more stuff happens and then that's it.
