I had a dream last night that I met a guy who wasn’t at all my physical type, but was really funny and clever and kind. He was in charge of planning campaign events for a low-level political character, like a county sheriff or judge. The candidate wasn’t getting reelected, and so this event weekend…

Dreaming in Danish
I had an interesting dream last night. I dreamt of a word in Danish, a language that I do not speak and of which I have no real knowledge. What’s more interesting is that the word made absolute sense in the context of the dream (though I didn’t know it at the time). First, a…
Midnight Drive
Granddaddy came to visit me the night before last, in a dream that felt like real life. I wish I could say with certainty that it was a visit from the man I so adored, rather than just wishful thinking and misfiring synapses, but I will always be a hopeful skeptic. It felt good, though,…
Dream Diary: Witch Tableaus
The last time I dreamt about C, we were at the French Market. He and my friend K were playing drums, and there was a group of dancers/mummers dressed as mechanical breasts milling around in the background. That was maybe a month ago. Last night I dreamt about C again, which is strange, since he’s…
Dream Diary: Garnished With Garnets
I had the weirdest dream last night – or at least, the weirdest portion of a dream. I can’t remember most of it, other than having the impression that I was visiting my parents, who lived in a metropolitan area in another part of the United States. Maybe Portland? It felt hip, but also relaxed,…
The Nightmare
After a few good, calm weeks, this morning I woke up with that familiar feeling in my chest. The anxiety is back. Maybe it’s because of the nightmare. It was one of those ones that wakes you up and sits there with you, daring you to try to close your eyes again. You won’t like what you…
My Weirdest Dream In Quite Some Time
This may be the first time that I completely ignore the point of a Daily Post prompt and write something related but off-topic, instead. However, it seems odd that the prompt today would be to describe the last time you were moved to tears by something beautiful, and this morning was the first time in…
Dream Diary 3/27/13
I’ve been having some weird dreams lately. A few of the things I’ve been dreaming about: 1) Friday Night. Trying to catch and hold 2 pretty large fish, with my hands, inside of an apartment. For some reason I was plucking the two fish out of some space (a pool? the sink?) and trying to hold…
Day #16: Waiting for Ella
Two nights ago I had a dream that I found a kitten. She was a tiny, scrawny stray, and I named her Ella. Ever since then, I’ve had this feeling that I was going to find a kitten somewhere around the neighborhood. I’ve been driving much more carefully than usual, scanning the streetscape in case…
Dreamscapes, or Nightmares?
Last night I dreamed deep and weird. I came home slightly drunk from trivia night, and ate a huge cheeseburger and fries before bed, so it probably makes sense that I would have some rather weird shit tumbling around in my brain during the night. I don’t remember everything – just pieces. At some point…
