A couple days ago, I was hanging out with Jan in a department store.
My dreams have become a lot more vivid and memorable of late. I've had several fun magic-related dreams, and this morning Stephen Colbert beat the crap out of Tim Curry for looking at the screens during a live taping (when apparently he shouldn't have?). Since I was also looking at the screens, I was glad not to be beaten up.

No. I fear it's something sexual when I say I not only almost always remember my dreams (for years if I write down parts of it) when I wake up but also have vivid ones the majority of the time.You do know what vivid dreams are a symptom of, right?My dreams have become a lot more vivid and memorable of late.

Not sexual, per se. It can be a symptom of pregnancy to have more vivid dreams. Sorry for the confusion.No. I fear it's something sexual when I say I not only almost always remember my dreams (for years if I write down parts of it) when I wake up but also have vivid ones the majority of the time.You do know what vivid dreams are a symptom of, right?My dreams have become a lot more vivid and memorable of late.

seconds after reading this thread, for whatever reason a song popped into my head I haven't listened to in years.
I've no idea why the association popped into my mind but it was kinda startling.
The song was Vincent by Don McLean particularly:

They're not listening still
perhaps they never will.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Featured Pwebber: Mich
I had gotten back to my house after some outing, walked into my room, looked at my stereo's right cassette player (I don't actually own this stereo anymore; I gave it to my big brother in January) and saw that it wasn't shut properly. This, in my dream, could only mean one thing: Mich had been over. See, in the dream, it was normal for him to break into my house and room, look around at my collection of stuff, write out a review of some aspect of it (books, movies, music, etc.), and then stuff it into the right cassette player. I'm pretty sure they were less than favorable reviews and I ended up discarding some of the stuff he disliked.

Last night I dreamed that Rei and I were moving back to York. We had Italian food at a restaurant I've been to before, in the Shambles, but it had been reno'd and they were rude to us. Then we got caught up in a gang war on campus as we tried to locate one of my friends' house in a wacky case of mistaken identity. The Blue Hoodies were suspicious because Rei was wearing a black hoodie, and the Black Hoodies were upset there was an imposter running around. No one would believe us that it was a different black hoodie and we just wanted somewhere out of the way.
Then Hermes Trismegistus showed up out of his secret cryo-lab and everyone was too shocked to shoot. He had been searching everywhere for Rei and was thrilled to have found him. So we got into his cryo-truck and prepared to go back to his lab, and then I woke up.

This dream did not feature any pwebbers, but I wasn't sure where else to put it.
It was awesome.
Right before I woke up, I was having the best (G-rated) dream ever. I dreamed that I had discovered that if you sprinkled the spice thyme on something, you would automatically have enough time to accomplish whatever tasks you have to do associated with that. So, if I sprinkled thyme on my computer, time would pause/stretch/bend so that I could do all my paperwork and still have enough time to do other things. Sprinkle it on the computer when I have my dissertation up, and presto! Time shifts and bends and I can get it done. Sprinkle it on the wedding planner, enough time to make phone calls and plan and order things. It was so, so great.
The fact that I am having punny dreams about making enough time probably says something about my life right now.

We have this thing for Hermes. He's kind of our mascot. Rei thought this was the best dream EVER because not only did it feature Hermes, Hermes was LOOKING FOR HIM.Woo, alchemy!

I had a great, coherent dream last night that was a cross between Dollhouse and Johnny Mnemonic. I was just about to find out the big reveal of the movie (it was very movie-ish) and I'd just discovered the hidden mover behind all the conflict and she was going to tell all when Brent came home and I woke up.
It was a crazy-fun dream. Might need to write it down and/or think it out into a proper story.

In my typical fashion of dreaming about rather normal things since even my subconscious is boring, I dreamed that I was talking to Alea on AIM.

Technically, this involves another pwebber, since my dear other half was involved.
I dreamed I was going to church, and it was the very worst of what Catholic mass could be. And then I had to explain to the in-laws what had happened. Ugh, I hated sitting through that mass even in a dream - 40 minutes on, and we hadn't even gotten to the psalm yet.
There was also cats and for some reason auto-detailing, but that was at a different point in the dream.
Still not pregnant, Steph!

I've had not one but two dreams this week so far, I am ecstatic. In last night's, I was camping out with hippies in some vague desert that looked more like Eastern Washington than California or Arizona or Utah, though we were talking about the Columbia river and water rights and drought, so it was meant to be Washington. Though, who knows really when it comes to dreams.
I think it was an omen that today would actually be warm. Wooo.

So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about you constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect
Your life anymore

Featured Pwebber: Ed
I was at home, packing for a trip to visit him, when it started raining outside and subsequently, in my home - the roof must have sprung a bunch of leaks because it was pretty bad. Shortly thereafter, while trying to pack and take care of the water, some guy breaks into my house and I have to hide out in my room, holding the door shut, trying to help the lock as best as possible until someone can come help me.
I assume that gets taken care of because the next thing I know, I'm off my plane and in the car with Ed, traveling down this rural-esque road when I ask him to pull over by what appears to be a dirt road but is really paved. (I don't know why I noticed or cared about that in the dream). He parks and we walk up, coming across this almost plantation like mansion that is built so that its second level is at the road's level. He asks if I want to go in via the second story balcony and I tell him it looks unstable but I'll try stepping on.
Sure enough, it was too unstable for me, so I let him go in alone and watched from the side of the road. He walked through the kitchen just fine but then got this look on his face like he was just barely keeping cool. He rushed out, grabbed me and said we had to leave but before we made it very far, he collapsed and was shaking like he was having a seizure or something. I screamed for help but no one rushed over and for some reason, I asked him if he was still breathing (I think he said yes).
I happened, right around then, to notice this woman make a rude comment about it, so while he was still shaking -but getting better- I walked over, grabbed her by the hair, dragged her to him, and told her to help. So she started making out with him and he got better pretty quickly.
She then walked off, mad at me, and I grabbed him and started walking him back to his car.
A little ways down, the girl who had helped him magically changed into a bikini and I was really confused and annoyed because it was cold out and she should be wearing clothes. Ed, on the other hand, didn't mind her change in wardrobe.

Oh man, I was so happy for this dream.
Featured Pwebbers: Nomi and Ali
The two of them decided to come visit me in AZ and to make things even better, it wasn't Sucktown, where I currently live, and it wasn't Phoenix; they were visiting me in Tucson, which is the only city in the state I have a real (read: positive emotional) connection with. I was so stoked to finally be able to take someone to a place that really mattered to me like that, so I asked what they wanted to do, on the offchance they had some ideas. If not, I'd give them the tour of what I considered important stuff. One of them suggested a rodeo and while I'm not a fan of those at all, it was what they wanted, so off we went.
That was the basic gist of the dream but there were little things that made it a good one, that are hard to explain. Everything they did radiated kindness and warmth, which made me feel at peace. Dreams that don't make me feel bad or, at best, indifferent are pretty rare.

Kelly, for some reason, you are the only pwebber ever to make guest appearances in my dreams. I've randomly had dreams where I was reading pweb or posting on pweb, but you are the only pwebber ever to show up live and in person. Last night was the second time.
(At first this morning, I couldn't figure out why, as I haven't been on pweb for the past couple of days, but then I realized it probably has to do with me rereading Lolita over the weekend and recognizing the lines you used to use for your sig.)
Anyhow, I don't remember the details of the dream -- other than that it was a very involved and detailed dream -- but somehow we ran into one another at a gym. We were on some kind of massive structure, like a jungle gym on steroids, that was an absolutely brutal workout. And we were talking about workout songs, at least, partly, when not trying to climb. And I think at some point you talked me through climbing up a really tricky piece of it. And then that part of the dream ended, and you were my houseguest or something, and I was living somewhere on the Northern Plains, and we were supposed to go to dinner with my extended family, and we were in this weird restaurant/western bar kind of thing, about to leave, and I don't know exactly what happened. Somehow, I discovered that I have a really impressive gift for throwing toothpicks like darts into walls, pretty much exactly where I aimed them. And then we were all supposed to drive somewhere to watch some high school football game -- six man football, and it was kind of like a double header, and was going to involve driving long trips between the two games -- and I was getting really worried that you were going to be annoyed with my family, and I was trying to find you in a crowd to save you from having to ride with my rather boring and evangelist uncle, who I thought would get on your nerves.
That's all I really remember. Anyhow, it was kind of a fun dream.

you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

I didn't make a real attempt to remember these two dreams at all, so the only things I can say for sure are zero and Kelly were in one, and Mich was in the other; Kelly and I were heading back to a college campus just before the sun set; zero wasn't being mean to me, which is rare for his dream-self; and Jeff was hanging around with me in my room while my parents, just outside the room, were going on about how concerned for my mental health they were.
I also had one a little over two weeks ago that Eddie IMed me (just before, in reality, I did receive a message from him [insert Twilight Zone music here]) but that wasn't enough to warrant posting all by itself.
