“Dreams say what they mean, but they don’t say it in daytime language.” (-Gail Godwin)

Aren't dreams fascinating? Who knows why we dream what we do.

I once dreamt that I knew I was having Siamese twins, (and I knew this—how?) In my dream, I was quite disgusted with my doctor, because he didn’t seem to have a clue that I was having these Siamese twins. I kept thinking What kind of doctor is HE?!”

I have no earthly idea why I dreamt that...

Joe was telling me about a dream he had the other night that had me laughing:

He said that he was in a large auditorium, where a woman was asking him to give an important presentation on (get this) “the Three Stooges” to a group of college students. He was nervous, because he couldn't remember what their names were. Then, the woman handed him a big plastic bag, and told him he was lucky that this meant he’d be getting a free lunch! But in his dream, that only made him worried, because he’d be busy giving the presentation during lunch time! A real nightmare, eh?

Recently, my dad told me he was dreaming about my mom, and she was evidently relaying to him (in his dream) that she was worried about something or other. I was glad to hear he still thinks about my mom, but in this instance, with a strange sense of humor as well. He was trying to help her deal with her stress, when, in his dream, he suddenly thought to himself, “Wait a minute—she’s dead now, so she doesn’t have to worry about these things any more!”

What a load off!

Have a great weekend, and Sweet Dreams, all!
;))

Oh I have been neglectful in commenting on your lovely paintings. It is just that you write some interesting subjects that I get so involved in them. :)
I have some weird dreams to sometimes, at least the ones I can remember.:)
Thanks for your concern. Con is SO much better today. I think it must have been a 24 hour bug as he is back to normal. He was out in the snow this morning while it was snowing, chopping wood till Fair, next door, and I got on his case and made him come in before he has a stroke from maybe being dehydrated yesterday. Arrgh.
I was worried to death yesterday and he is out there chopping wood the next day. Now that's a nightmare. Grin

Sue, your paintings are out of this world! I can't even begin to imagine how you manage to create such diverse works of art. Beautiful.

I have to come back to read your posts, now it's time to say good night, from V.,

Oh heavens!
It must be the season bringing it on...
The other day I dreamt about someone frolicking with polar bears on a hill (and this was in Charleston!)
and nearby there was an ornamental fountain for outdoor babtisms.
A victorian lady wearing a straw hat was twirling her white parasol.
In fact everything was white...
must be those damn Xmas windows invading my unconscious id etc...

Cris, so glad to hear Con is doing better!

Merisi, aren't you kind. Your Christmas photos belong in a beautiful coffee table book or something! I love 'em.

Ms Paris Anony mouse, I'm laughing--outdoor baptisms, now in Charleston, eh?! LOL

Meredith, thanks so much for stopping by. I popped over to your blog and laughed at your current "Breathe" post, and smiled at your sweet children...

Beautiful painting--I love the mix of line and wash, and the "scribbly" quality of the line.
I wish I could remember my dreams. Or maybe I don't, since the one recurring dream I occasionally have--and remember--involves my teeth crumbling and falling out of my mouth one by one!
An anxiety dream one friend told me. No kidding!! ;-)

Laura, that's hilarious. I hate to admit it, but I've had that dream a few times in my life myself! It's awful--I'd awaken, checking to see if my teeth were all still there. Go figure!
