Water Water everywhere

I'm always dreaming about water

all the time

Last night I dreamt that I was playing with a man in water -- the way you do -- when you're half wrestling -- half playing

I don't know him in r/l -- but I was familiar with him in the dream.

the water was shallow and I was on my back -- but still laughing and wrestling (a bit fruitlessly) with him -- and he was laughing too.

I had a big bottle of water that I kept filling up by squeezing it under the water and letting the water suck in and then trying to spray it at him.

and then he was kissing me -- and the water kept getting in my mouth and I choked a bit

and woke up

I looked at the time and declared 630 to be too early for a Sunday

and rolled over to go back to sleep

more water

no man

I was floating in the water fully dressed and being chased by some creature that paced me on the shore

I'm wearing really cute red shoes -- that will be ruined now

and I start to move with the current down stream

eventually -- the current gets fast enough that I'm pretty sure I lose the creature -- it's huge -- and crafty - -and I'm pretty sure wants to eat me.

I end up in an concreted arroyo (I know there's a word in English for this - but it escapes me. It's like a ditch -- but really big) and I'm sputtering and coughing

and I realize that I have to make my way back -- but my shoes are ruined.

I buy these super cute boots -- which feel amazing on -- and as I start to turn to swim back upstream up the arroyo -- the sales man says

"you can't get these boots wet"

and I'm full of attitude, "just watch me"

he says -- no -- and starts to take them back

you can't get them wet

me: "but they're boots?!"

or dirty

me: "they're boots -- it's what they're for!"

so I can't wear the boots on my journey back

so I put the boots in their box and I put the box in a big bag -- and then I put tape all around the bag to keep out the water -- for good measure -- I put my computer and flash drives where they will be dry this time too.

I have a casual thought that this is silly -- they work fine now and they didn't have all this protection the first time I was in the water.

and then I dive back into the water -- and start to go back

and I woke up.

  1. This does much to explain the font craziness going on here this morning...
    Sad that the red shoes bit the biscuit, tho'...

  4. So -- are we hating the new font?

    I'll take it under consideration

    and yes -- I do remember my dreams well -- but only when I wake up in the middle of them -- and only if I write them down right away.

    @PL -- nope -- very little water in my world -- and yet -- it's in my dreams all the time.

    maybe I just need to go potty.

  5. Um, water could be - often is - the feminine aspect,so it's all around you - the man in it with you - could be your own masculine aspects.... ok, enough already, right?

    Love your dreams - wish I had cool dreams like that!! JM, the amazing analyst, would be wild about you. Whatever they mean, your subconcious is clearly working hard, and I think that's a good thing.

  6. I agree -- my subconsious is working overtime

    I think I post them here mostly because I write first thing in the morning and I find that if I write them down instantly

    I can remember them -- and remember them vividly for quite some time

    but if I don't write them down - they're like a soap bubble and burst and fade.

    ps -- how interesting is it that I woke up from choking on my own feminity

    or more likely?

    just swallowed wrong in my sleep and was actually choking
