Weird dreams

[Snarky Oracle!]

I had an "acting" dream last night -- I somehow was up, and the leading candidate, for the role of The Mummy in a major motion picture. I'm not even sure how this happened, as I had no agent to submit my name for the role, nor was I really sure I wanted the part or to be in the movie at all... I'm not even sure I knew the role was for that of the mummy, or "the lead mummy", until the last moment.

Then there became some weird scandal that began brewing over my getting potentially cast the role, my anonymity being stripped away even before I'd secured the part which might even prevent me from getting the part -- which I was increasingly disinclined to take as the situation progressed anyway.

It was all very elaborate and involved.

Are you sure?
Someone may have broken into your dream and sent your name to the casting agency, the mummy role being a mockery of your age.
But I'm just speculating....

Yeah. That's kinda what I thought.

But all I want to play is Roger Grimes -- dragged out of an icy Colorado lake (even though it's clearly late summer, southern California), laying on a gurney for several months (because I get lazy), kissing on Pamela Sue (and not Emma Samms, godblessher) in a dream sequence, beating up Alexis in a cottage on the outskirts of the estate, and then getting my brains blown out by tiny Baby Fallon (in flashback).

That's the only career I'd want.

But then, I guess a mummy is a corpse, too. So maybe that's the tie-in.

You said it was a major motion picture but dreams can be deceiving.
Maybe you were supposed to take over from Victoria Principal - again, mocking your age.

Possibly. I'm almost a 36,000 year old spirit!

And perhaps you should consider this: what are mummies before they get mummified?
Does your dream tell you that you're a reincarnation of some pharaoh? (or his tramp).

So many readings!

Do tramps get mummified? How distinguished and classy!

This can only end with an Oscar win. You deserve it after all that!

Last night I dreamt I'd won some kind of competition to record a Madonna concert straight to the GarageBand app on my computer. I think this was present day, but her appearance (after she'd morphed from being Tina Arena, that is) was The Girlie Show era

As she was on-stage and ready to go, I decided I wanted the first song to fade in. However the touchscreen controls (invisible, of course) were either directly in front of her face or actually her face itself was the touchscreen. Naturally, this was tricky as Madge was in the zone and didn't want to indulge me poking at her features.

I heard her snarl at me not to touch a stud piercing just below her nose so I went a bit lower, just above the lip to make the necessary swipe action. Unfortunately, I'd misheard and she'd been telling me I should use the piercing. And what she was trying to prevent was exactly what happened: as I swiped, I knocked her beauty spot clean off her face.

There was very little blood, but she was most ungracious about it.

I did get to keep the mole, though. Roots and all.

Another Dynasty dream: I discovered that the DVDs didn't feature the intros and outros, the episodes played continuously with only the episode title appearing on screen.
The DVD set was a Dutch release and I couldn't remember why I had bought it since I already owned (and own in real life) the UK and US versions.
Suddenly I got very confused and couldn't remember which was what. And then I woke up, thankfully.

Last night I dreamt of snakes, lizards, iguanas, they were everywhere. Scary stuff. They were sitting next to me as I drove, on the floor, on the dashboard, in the windows, the center console, pretty much all over the place. When I woke up I was checking all over the bedroom.

Dreams can be so powerful that it takes us a while to recover from it.
But....do we know for sure that our dreamworld isn't the real reality? I mean, we're living two lives (awake and asleep) and then we die. And when we're dead, does it even matter what was real and what wasn't? (yeah, I'm still watching the Twilight Zone). And maybe death is our third life....or the beginning of everything.

I'm sometimes stunned by how "real" these nocturnal hallucinations can be, and how the brain has the uncanny ability to seance a person, long-past in your life, and imbue the mental image with all the subtle detail you might not expect nor even think of in waking life. The specific quirks and attributes, the neurotic tension -- it's like they're really there.

It's almost like everyone lives on an objective, universal plane of existence somewhere separate from our earthly activities.

The most amazing thing about a dream to me is how they can seem so real sometimes. For example, last night’s dream is still very vivid in my mind. I was pressure cleaning someone’s house, the entire exterior and their driveway, something I don’t even have much experience with. I can’t tell you who these people even were, but I remember their faces as they appeared in the dream. They were telling me how they wanted the job done and then from there I remember getting ready to paint the entire house as well, another thing I don’t really have much experience doing. I do enjoy getting to do things in my dreams that I normally don’t do though.

I’d like to think that eventually I will dream an entire season of a prime time show. I know it’s already been done but that is my goal.
