Seasons

I've dreamt in German before, even though that's only my third language. I'd spent the day practising and practising for my German speaking test and somehow when I went to bed, something clicked and in my dream, I thought and spoke in German. It was very weird.

Maybe I'm weird for having sexual dreams! One thing I have noticed is that the more I dislike the person, the more aggressive the dream is, if you get my drift. If the dream involves someone I don't necessarily hate, just someone I don't think of in that way, then it tends to be more a romantic dream. Perhaps that's some psychological thing; I can't take out my aggression on the person in real life so it manifests as a different sort of aggression - passion bordering on violence - in my dream. Just call me Freud.

I often have dreams that switch between genres, and whether I'm a participant or observer. I might start off participating, then be drawn back and now I'm watching it like a tv show, then I'll remember something from the book the show was supposedly based on (which usually doesn't exist outside of dreamland). I don't remember ever having subtitles, but I do get voiceovers on occasion.

Here's a dream I had a few years back, drawn as a comic strip by my friend Jesse Reklaw. You folks who are interested in dreams ought to check out Jesse's site...

...drempt I was watching The Amityville Horror pt 4 starring Jack Black as the new home owner and the little kid from 8 is enough as the son/possesion victim. It featured a scene with KISS playing a benefit concert in Amityville. My fist thought on waking was "Not even Wisconsn has that much cheese!"

Would you tell your spouse/partner/whatever if you had an erotic dream about someone else?

I suppose it would be a cheap shot to be mean to Laydee (see message 2198) in hopes of getting into her dreams!

Irina: purely erotic? I suppose I would. Love based? I might be more hesitant.

I wouldn't. I just can't see anything good coming out of whatever conversation would follow that.

I might acknowledge that my mind wanders sometimes, but anything more detailed is just asking for a night on the couch.

Exactly- thats why I made the distinction between mere eros and deeper emotional connection. One say "I am sexual" the other says "I am needing something"

i always dream about death. i don't usually die,though. everyone around me does. i also kill my best friend in almost every dream she has.
