Sunflower tower →
I dreamt something cryptic about an enormous sunflower (think: Sequoia Sunflower) growing out of a well that was built up with stones so high that it was also a tower. At one point a wizard checked the tower, and the sunflower was not there anymore, and the(very clear) water level was falling. This is apparently a very spiritual dream. The sunflower, tower, well, clear water, and wizard all point...
For the C.J. Cherryh fans- A Bren dream →
Sorry, there. Life exploded.
and September is shaping up to be a supernova. I will try and post as I can, but please forgive if I need to redirect my energies towards other things for a while.
——————————————
This is set in C.J. Cherryh’s Foreigner Universe: Bren Cameron had a girl, a young woman, who...

The Princess Diaries? →
Somehow I became married to a princess. I have no idea, people. Don’t ask me, I just dream this stuff. Earlier on I know my husband was there (with a collapsible white van), but later he just wasn’t, and I was in Europe, and apparently married into some royal family or other. (not the British one though! no worries there.) I think I had met them at… wait for it… the mall,...
A Scarry dream →
This one was a cartoon, viewpoint being the backseat of a cartoon car in which sat the worm family from Richard Scarry’s books. You remember Lowly the worm? Yeah. He was buckled in the backseat, and his parents, complete with hat and bonnet respectively, were in the front. It seemed to be a normal car, and not an apple with wheels- but it was red. The background music for the dream (was not...
Training →
I was having fun browsing a lovely flea market run by gypsies, but I also was a gypsy myself, as apparently was my mother-in-law, who sent me off on an errand. I passed several covered stands, one of which specialized in cheeses, before returning with my sister and settling some dispute having nothing to do with us. Then it was not a flea market, but a train we were aboard, and we were not gypsies...
A Tully dream- the ghost →
In this entry, I refer to my real-life daughter as Brigid, which is not her actual name. I’ve been having connection problems and now am way behind. Sorry for the delay- Sometimes I have dreams that I have a son named Tully. This has been going on for years, and these dreams about Tully are very realistic. I used to dream just that he was my son, my youngest, and the dream never really got...
Remembering dreams →
My dreams are quite vivid, but I would forget most of them automatically and not even realize it if I did not cultivate certain habits. For example’s sake I thought I’d take you through the writing up of today’s dream (Portals in the sky). Before I go to sleep, I remind myself that I want to remember any dreams. It is a mere statement of intention, but it can be quite a powerful...
Portals in the sky →
A young girl, who had long, dark curly hair and was wearing a deep green dress that set off her fair skin and freckles, picked up a dime in the parking lot of an apartment complex. As she stood up, holding the dime between her thumb and forefinger, it shimmered and became a circular portal, and she became a very young woman, standing in a lush green park. The perspective changed, so that it seemed...
A different sort of string theory →
Earth was the size of a car, and I put my head out the window. space went streaming by then—- look there! a galaxy speeding away from us: backlit, beautiful, and connected to Earth; you can see the string. and there! and there! and there! others, all separated, never to meet again yet forever connected to Earth, sparkling like charms on a bracelet. As the universe expands, not only great...
Adventure, Romance, Mad Science! →
I just heard about Girl Genius receiving the 2009 Hugo award for best Graphic Story, and I knew I had to find a dream that was somehow appropriate to celebrate. This, my friends, is as close as I could come- in that it involves a powerful, somewhat evil, somewhat mad-sciency family. Enjoy the dream (vintage May 2007, way before I ever came across GG)- I was not dreaming from first-person...
Hello, Newman. →
Apparently we lived in Missouri, and Newman was our neighbor. Only god knows why, but Newman kidnapped me and my husband. We were held hostage in his house overnight; we weren’t tied up or anything but for some reason were unable to leave. Newman wasn’t mean to us, actually I think he was sweet on me. o.O So why did he kidnap my husband too? Anyway, in the morning, we detained him...
Interplanetary kitchen travel →
I was with one team that went to another planet. (Woo! but seemed so nonchalant at the time.) We had just arrived on what was supposedly Mars. The horizon was smaller than that of Earth’s somehow; a bizarre effect. The planet was mostly brown and had lots and lots of TREES. Yay, Mars with trees. Twas a happy dream. My team and I were hiding from another force (also human) on the planet. We...

Drums and Aquariums →
My drum set had some strange gunk on it, so I decided to soak it in the aquarium. It was not an assembled drum set, but all the drums were there, floating about with the fish and decorations- quite a large aquarium! In fact, there were also turtles and alligators alongside these huge goldfish, which were eating the gunk off of the drums. It didn’t seem to bother the fish at first, but then...

The Reading Tree →
I was visiting an old and magical estate, there with another girl my age who was apparently also me or me from another place and time. The gentleman who had up until now owned the estate, and who may have been a shaman, was giving us a tour of the grounds. He looked quite young but that was an illusion. We had reached the back of the house, and were in a sublevel or basement level which was so...
Soldier the winter white →
Here is a dream I had of stormtroopers or teaming hordes as snowflakes, sent to conquer the land out of spite and cold self-righteous hypocritical fury- indefensible abuse presented as vengeance against evil, as the force of good in the world, and as the only true path for justice. Snowflakes as deception and assault and lack of empathy. And the return of the Sun, when the reality is brought to...

To start us off, here is a doozy.
did you ever see the movie Splash? the 80’s one about the mermaid? do you remember when, towards the end, scientists were after the mermaid, and they caught the human guy she loved and had put him in a tank—-to see if maybe he was a merman or something too? well, they had him in this giant aquarium-looking tank, hooked up to monitors and the like. and...

nessun dorma, the extended version
I am not sleeping these days- sick child- so my brain is on power save and the website is not getting updated at all.
instead I have been propping myself awake with comics. Girl Genius (which I just found) is absolutely wonderfully rich elaborate dramatic and above all fun. gotta love a series with characters named Gilgamesh Wulfenbach, Bangladesh Dupree, and Ognian. gotta love the jagers!

now that I’m actually sleeping a bit at night, I hope the website will progress much more quickly.
