The reason i ask is that i have recurring dreams...and not your usual kind (ie flying or walking naked into class though i've hadthose.) My most vivid recurring dreams actually are about reading books.
Now ordinarily that's not weird in and of itself. But in my dreams i pick up books i've never seen/read before and just start reading. Page after page of something i've never encountered before and yet i know every word contained within them. Sometimes the books are familiar (Shakespeare and the like) and sometimes they're just anonymous books.
I find it bizarre though that my mind is able to come up with page after page of material i read aloud in my dreams that makes sense. The bummer about the whole thing is that as soon as i wake up, i forget the words but remember the impression that the words gave me. I can remember moving my lips and uttering things that made sense, just not what they are.
Last night i had a similarif different dream. In this dream, for the first time, i was the one *making* the words. I wasn't reading but writing andpublic speaking andthe stuff coming out of my mouth i can remember as being the Tiffany Crystal of poetry in prose. Unfortunately, upon waking i forgot everything i said, but i remember the feeling of saying it and the realization that what i was saying in my dream was astounding in its articulate-ness and beauty.
Now if only i could remember more than fleeting glimpses into this corner of my mind. I guess what i'm wondering is what these dreams are trying to tell me. I've been toying with the idea of becoming an English teacher for a while which would tie in with this, but also, maybe it's my mind's way of telling me i have limitless untapped potential if i just looked within myself and freed it.
If this is what i'm getting out of my dream, then it does have meaning, but even if it's intrinsically and wholey meaningless my own tendency towards self analysis is giving it meaning. I'm creating meaning or discovering meaning for myself, but maybe there's something more to it. I wonder. In any case it's something worth looking into.
Got a big week this week. Docotr appointment on wednesday morning (the lump seems smaller and i think it just may be an ingrown hair, but i'm going to bring it up anyways.)
Thursday isee the SG Burlesque Show in Cleveland. Mini gripe here: why the fuck is it stopping in that asshole shaped pothole on the road to hell that is Cincinatti and not Pittsburgh? Cleveland i can understand, but not skipping the 'Burgh.
Then friday i come back here and hop on the car again for a road trip to visit myfriend in the Middle of Nowhere PA on our way to another road trip to Niagara Falls for a day or two of drinking, gambling and strippers. Plus some sightseeing thrown in there as well somewhere along the way. Should be fun.
Wow, this is like biblical in length here. Chapter 12, Verse 14 of the Book of Max16Characters. And ye i say to thee that Max12Characters beget Max13Characters and Max13Characters beget Max14Characters and Max14Characters beget Max15Characters and Max15Characters beget Max16Characters and thus was brought to the SG Website our author of this glourious Journal. Deliver us from Boredom Amen.
Ok, i'm done now

i find it jolly to think that extra curricular aliens are reprogging are heads while we slumber. maybe you are catching some errant tv signal from afar, that is accidently bouncing of your neighbours drainpipe. have you considered videoing yourself as you sleep? or audiorecording? maybe the words you dream would be recorded. i would kill for the ability to lucid dream, the control of dreaming. whenever i try to control the dream (hanging on the cusp), i wake up. apart from a few times on the back end of a night out on the pharma's where i've laid semi comtose and felt myself being squeezed thru pipes, aka regression back to birth. thankfully i never pop out from said pipes: i'd hate to see what my mothers hairy secret looked like. btw cool screen name you have, though it would be perfection if the letters added up to 16

I like this entry, as I have very vivid recurring dreams myself. I've had continuous dreams before, too, where for two or three nights in a row one dream picks up where the last left off. The content of these dreams seems to be fairly random.
Have you ever read up on lucid dreaming? It's interesting stuff...

i have this recurring dream where i go through my bathroom mirror into an alternate dimension. i end up in someone elses house... the first time they were all freaked out and they wanted to know what the hell i was doing there but by now they know who i am 
i haven't had that dream in like a year though... i hope it comes back. it was nice.
