Long time no comment! Thought this was the perfect place to mention the nightmare/dream I had the other night… that I had a fencepost-sized necrotic wound going into my abdomen and pelvis, eating away at the anterior pelvic bone… Hey – maybe I’ll blog about that in my super secret blog that no one knows about. ;) Glad you’re still around, Mig.

I just remembered this. If I’m in a dream and there’s a noise (the noise is real, such as a car backfiring), I hear the noise in my dream, but interpret it as something different, such as a gunshot, and then notice that somebody has a gun. Very normal. But my father always said that if this happened to him, he would see the gun in the person’s hand *before* he heard the car backfire. I can only surmise that his brain rewound the scene and replayed it with the gun to give some context for the noise. Very weird!

I’m on the fence about dreams. I used to have some decent nightmares that I thought were telling me something. Lately I rarely remember any. Once I woke myself up laughing out loud at something in a dream that wasn’t funny to my waking mind. I used to have dreams set in the same place all the time, an intersection in Seattle that doesn’t really exist, or an empty bordello made out of concrete that I am pretty sure doesn’t exist anywhere because it looks more like the reptile section of a zoo than what I imagine a bordello would look like.

I read a book in which Karen Blixen, pen name Isak Dinesen, wrote about her life. (My favorite movie, “Out of Africa,” was about her life in Kenya). She said she always had wonderful dreams; this was a gift she shared with other family members. No matter what problems she had in her life, her dreams were always wonderful! It made me a little envious, as my dreams are only rarely pleasant, tend be unsettling and have an “otherworldly” quality about them. I dream about places that I recognize only in my dreams!

A friend of mine has facebook posts about all these elaborate and varied dreams that he has and the he remembers. They are actually kind of interesting and often humorous (or he tells them humorously which is one of his talents), and although I know this guy pretty well, it’s so rare for someone to have such good recall of dreams, that I’m still not certain he doesn’t just make them up. Not that it really matters if he can tell them in a humorous way.
