Discuss amongst yourselves - October 17, 2005

What are your dreams like? Do you have vivid dreams with some kind of narrative, or is it all just nonsense?

In my scientific estimate, 19/20 dreams are forgotten (just like old boyfriends). But on occasion, there is one beautiful dream that sustains me through the dry spells. One about my success that builds me up for the future, one about love that rises me above the clouds. I wake fulfilled and can't wait to be a part of what Life has in store.

So not Me, but then again, I guess it is.

The frustrating dreams are the ones with narrative, usually because I'm trying to accomplish something and the wackos in my dream won't let me. But when I just go with the flow, it usually surreal.

I have semi-regular dreams about killing animals. I am trying to kill the animal, but it does not die, and my efforts to finish it off only deepen and prolong its agony.
I am not trying to be funny.

My dreams depend on whether I am keeping a dream journal at the time or not. When I do, I remember them more accurately, and they tend to be obsessively detailed. I think my brain is just playing elaborate jokes on me, knowing I'll have to write it all down later. When I don't keep the journal, my dreams disintegrate into very vague, hazy feelings.

I have different kinds of dreams. Some have a narrative of sorts (these tend so also sometimes have background music).
A lot of my dreams are almost indistinguishable from real life until something happens that is completely out of the ordinary.
I've had dreams of falling into my own grave (which read "Here Lies Jorge Figueiredo. Beloved Friend. 1974-25??)
Very odd.
A lot of my dreams also contribute to my theory of reincarnation and recycled energy

Probably a bit of both, I'd say. And the themes suggest some of my own frustrations and paranoia with respect to little everyday things like delayed trains, heavy traffic and line ups...I usually have dreams about airplane crashes; though I'm never on the plane when it happens, I'm just watching it crash to the ground. I also have dreams where I'm trying to call someone on the phone and I can't dial the numbers correctly and there's some kind of life threatening event going on (these are the worst).

I normally have very involved dreams that follow a story line. Normally they're good dreams that leave me waking up fulfilled, but I have one recurring nightmare that horrifies me.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.

Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
