I had a dream a few days ago, was quite emotional for me 
. Dont think I should talk about it on here though, for the sake of others.
A dream I can share with you however involves me, my mother, and one of my old teachers.
I was in a dark, brick room, with a kind of square brick bit with brown fencing on top of it, and a short set of stairs leading up to it.
I walked towards the stairs, entered the 'square' to be confronted by a black abyss inside. Standing there, my mother and teacher both look at me, and nod. Next thing I know, ive thrown myself into this abyss, I was falling for about 20seconds on average (I say on average, because this was a common dream for me a few years ago). Rather than waking up quickly, I wake up slowly, the darkness fades into my room.
Any thoughts?

Wow! Remarkable! Perhaps the teacher and mother figure represent aspects of yourself, or spirit guides.
isaacc: What was your dream?
Simulo: Last week I had this one dream where I had to fight a minotaur with nothing but a bag of animal crackers and some chopped pea. The minotaur was going to kill me, but it wound up asking me to work for its corporation instead.
isaacc: Did you like the job?
Simulo: I think, in the end, I had to fill out too many forms. But I can't remember it clearly.
isaacc: What other dreams have you had?
Simulo: The other night I had a dream that I was in this abandoned resort hotel, and there was a lot of water damage: holes in the floor and in the ceiling. I knew that I had to play the role of Malvolio, and King Zolf was supposed to help me, but all King Zolf would do is talk about drinking. It was very distressing.

Theres supposed to be books availible, all about dream analysis, might have a look at some, the whole idea of dreams having a meaning etc seems quite intriguing. Maybe it will help me work out what on earth im thinking half the time 
Heres a brain tickler....In one of my other dreams I was being chased round the lounge by a Flymo while my whole family was sitting there talking. FIgure that one out

The most intriguing method of interpretation I ever encountered is: consider each character or object in the dream to be an aspect of yourself.
I might be a little late, but I want to comment on the 'line' between porn and art. I think the key lies in sensuality (excuse me if I spell it wrong). What has always struck me about porn is that it's not at all sensual and just...dirrrty.
I've seen a lot of sensual paintings featuring sex etc. A very famous one is "Madonna" by E. Munch. This one is not so "explicit" in our modern eyes, but it shows a woman climaxing. I don't think it would be visual enough to replace your everyday pornographic material, but this makes it even better.
I think the line between porn and art lies in the sensuality of the picture, but also in the mood. E.g.: Nude-photography can be the most beautiful art, but I don't consider your average Playboy photo "beautiful". But then again, I'm a woman

Irina, I agree.
I keep having this recurring dream that I'm back in community college and am flunking two of the courses because I forgot to go to class or do homework or ANYthing really, and it's almost time for finals!
That one's a no-brainer to interpret, especially considering that last night, one of the courses I was failing was history.

Butterfly dream:
Ah, many students and ex-students have that dream, recurrently, including myself!
Now, if you interpret EVERYTHING in the dream as yourself, then you are also the college, i.e., YOU are judging YOURSELF to be inadequate in some way.

I still dream from time to time that I'm doing so poorly in my classes that they send me back to elementary school to start over. I can trace that dream back to when my 4th grade teacher pulled me aside and angrily held up some unsatisfactory art project and threatened me saying, "I'm going to send you back to kindergarten to learn how to cut!"
What's really bad is that it's community college, which is where you go (at least in America) when you want to go to college (university) but need to brush up on some college prep subjects. I went to regular college later. In the dream, I haven't learned the basics in history (learned from the past).
My new job requires me to cook, look stuff up in the courthouse, and drive a stick shift. I have cooked before (though not nearly enough for it to come to me automatically), but the rest is new. It's a little embarrassing, because I could have learned a long time ago.

Congrats on the new job BD.
A few times I have had the dream that I graduated from college when I find out that I missed something in high school and I have to go back to high school. Odd.
