*Perk* It's no longer Monday!!

[msfledermaus]

I slept my brains out last night after going to bed early with a headache...(The headache's gone, I feel much better. Still crampy, though!! Yes, it's the obligatory once-a-month fury of: CraaaaaaampS! Toss me the chocolate and the salt slow, and no one gets hurt...)
I dreamed my mother's house was on fire, and the arsonists brought cook-out food which my grandparents kept eating and I kept yelling at them, "Are you NUTS?!?! Help save the HOUSE, you morons!!!" And I dreamed about being sent back to highschool. *Shudder* (You'd think 12 years would be enough of a barrier to the sent-back-to-high-school-dream, wouldn't you? Apparently not.) I do feel better for the rest, though. Now if only I can find some coffee. I think I'll have to....make it myself. *Double shudder*:)

But at least it's not Monday...

MsEff...what did you dream last night?

I had a horrible headache yesterday too. We are very synchronized...is it really time to go thru this again ALREADY?!

I always have Back To High School dreams when I'm stressed out about something. In those dreams, I'm always late for class and I get lost in the hallways. Everyone seems to know what's going on but me.

You too, hah?

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Yep, we get to be synchonized swimmers again...One and two and *craaamp!* and moan and three and four and *Yow!* and bitch...*grin*

I get the high school dreams for stress, too.
It's usually a new school, and I'm older and sent back for some reason, some callous error. (I'm always older in the dreams now, instead of the same age.) Sometimes I'll dream about large spaces I hadn't been to yet--one school that was very techno with escalators turned out later to be the Mall of America. (I have weird dreams.)

Ms Eff, grateful that every day I'm alive takes me further away from high school. What a world...:)

Re: You too, hah?

[cynnerth.livejournal.com]

Ooo! Ooo! I had that dream...the school I was lost in turned into a mall with escalators. How weird...what does that mean, I wonder?

Re: You too, hah?

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Um...maybe we were shopping for school clothes?

(I hate escalators, too...I always feel like I'm going to fall off, especially at the Maul, where they're 3 stories high in places and open. ack!)

Ms Eff. Okay, they have Hot topic, and a bath-goop store on first level, we don't need no schtinkin escalator:)

Evil Escalators

Did I ever tell you my story about saving a kid from being sucked into the escalator at the Downtown Library when I was about 17 years old? I was working the Check-Out Desk when it happened. I heard a kid starting to panic and looked up. A loose rubber flap on the toe of his tennis shoe was being pulled in between the moving step and the wall. I ran from behind the counter to hit the stop button. Then I meant to hit the reverse button so the escalator would spit out the kid's shoe. Accidentally I hit the forward button and the kid screeched as his foot started to get sucked in more. doh!! I hit the right button immediately and everything was fine.

Then there was the time that my future husband was working at the library and saw a drunk street person fall backwards down the escalator from the top, doing summersaults and rolling. It looked painful but the guy stood up, brushed himself off, mumbled something, and walked away.

That confirms it!!! Escalators is evil!! EVIL!!!
And you were very brave, rescuing that kid from Certain Mangling!!! I mean, it probably remembered you, the woman that kept it from eating human flesh!!! I bet it quakes in it's tracks to this day....

Ms Eff, who saw an escalato catch fire, once...in Dayton's, no less. Wow, did the firemen come fast...:)

Re: Evil Escalators

[cynnerth.livejournal.com]

For years, I carried a little newspaper article around in my wallet about someone who was killed by an escalator. I wonder what I did with that....

Re: Evil Escalators

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Wooow..I wonder how that happened..Did the guy fall off, or catch his face in the stairs or something?

Ms Eff, brain putting up gross images already..

Re: Evil Escalators

[cynnerth.livejournal.com]

If memory serves me correctly, the top of the step came off and the woman fell inside the machinery.

But then my mind is getting old and befuddled.

Re: Evil Escalators

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, that's grosser than anything I could have come up with alone...how horrible!!!

Ms Eff, Jeez, wghat else does your ancient mind remember, totella?;)

Re: Evil Escalators

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

Gross? Yeah, but she carried the article in her wallet!

Re: Evil Escalators

[cynnerth.livejournal.com]

That's because the article came out shortly after I saved that kid from the Child Eating Escalator.

Re: Evil Escalators

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

True...that means she has more gross memories!!!

I dreamed that I was stuck in traffic during a thunderstorm (possibly caused by real a real thunderstorm outside my window last night as I slept), and a man was walking along the tops of the cars singing. Then--suddenly-- I was eating bologa sandwiches in my apartment with a faceless friend of mine when my dad walks in and hand me a bike helmet and tells me that he fixed everything up on my bike and it's good enough for a cross country trek.

It's surprising that I actually remembered that dream... I remember waking up in there somewhere and then going back to sleep to continue the dream.

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

I did that too...and segued into the high-school dream. *chuckle*

Yours sounded kind of sweet. I like the singing guy...and the thoughtful dad.

MsEff, who woke up to a thunderstorm, but a mild one. *rumble*

[elysiangirl.livejournal.com]

i dunna remember. but that's cool cuz when i do remember, i rarely understand and there is only so much my little brain can take!

good morning, love!

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Good morning to you!!!

*gives Elly a smootch and some banana bread*

I think the dreams mean you're sleeping well if you don't remember them much:) (Or so I'm told.)

MS Eff, munching on banana bread herself..mufflweffle!!

All I Know...

[johnboze.livejournal.com]

is that the alarm went off and I realized I was dreaming. I guess I need to do something to remember my dreams.

Like pretending my dreams are small children and calling out: "Here kiddy-kiddy, kiddykiddykiddykiddykiddykiddykiddykiddy..."

Smooches to whoever comes up with the source to that reference (Shouldn't be too tough...)

Re: All I Know...

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

I am so lost...I haven't a clue!!!

I do know that to remember dreams it helps if you write them down as soon as you wake up, even if it's fragments or quick words strung together. It's a little hard to be that coordinated in the mornings, I know, but try it for a day or two just for fun...

Ms Eff, smootchless.

Re: All I Know...

[johnboze.livejournal.com]

Come drink wine with us!!!

*Smooch*

Re: All I Know...

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

*Perk*

Twist my arm, okay!!!

Ms Eff, running to the smootchers.

Twist!

[johnboze.livejournal.com]

Last saturday fell through, so we're going this Sat. instead. I'm sure you may have seen my post regarding this. I think Bria and I are definites, with Ilona a strong probable so far...

It would be great to get more people...

Re: Twist!

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

I might have another obligation, but I'll keep you posted. I think it would be interesting to go...

Ms Eff, with gratitude for the invite.

I keep having camping dreams.

I'm slowly waking up during them, so as time goes by, the campsite looks more and more like my bedroom, and my bed is in more and more danger of getting messed up by rain or something, and I get more and more nervous about people walking through the campsite seeing me in my less-than-fully-clothed state. I've had one of these almost every night since I got back from camping, last Monday.

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

How strange. You're still detoxing from the trip, eh?
It's a neat image, though. You waking up in a bed out in the middle of the forest, hearing thunder, wearing only pajama bottoms or underwear or something.

(Hey, I found an e-card for Richard...heeheehee! Now watch him ignore us tomorow...*quiet sigh*)

MsEff, who sometimes dreams of suddenly being naked Downtown, and having to find something to wear somehow...usually foliage or someone's scarf.

[cynnerth.livejournal.com]

Speaking of nekkid, I was that way in the mall dream but nobody seemed to notice. *SIGH* Story of my life....

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

At least you weren't in a clown suit...I hate it when people in my dreams wear clown suits...the horror...*chortle*

Ms Eff. and the Richard Nixon masks!!!Save me!!!

[banana.livejournal.com]

A long time ago I dreamed I was in the audience for Ready Steady Go (a 60s TV pop music show). The Beatles were playing, and I was standing round the side by the drums.

You know people ask if you dream in colour? Normally I have no idea, but I know that dream was in black and white.   8~)

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

That's pretty cool!!! Selective black and white!!!
Did you ever do that again?

Ms eff, fascinated.

[banana.livejournal.com]

No, just the once.
