I need to talk about the dream I had last night, because it's weirding me the fuck out. I dreamed that my friend Melisa, who died 18 years ago, was hanging out with me. I was happy to see her again, as I always am when she shows up in my dreams. (She hasn't for many years.) A mysterious shadowy other woman was there; she wasn't named and never spoke. It was understood that M. was in fact still dead, and we were working out how she could be reincarnated* to be with us again. Then our boyfriend M.L. (in RL) was there with us, and we buying some big warehouse/meeting hall where we would live and also set up an auction house to support ourselves. We were talking to a real estate agent who was showing us a map of where we were and how to get around, and she was taking our IDs and giving us new IDs for the state we were moving to. This happened three times, and I was aware that the same thing was happening over and over, with slight differences (once I couldn't find my ID, and once my ID was from Georgia.), and I knew that this was somehow necessary to bring timelines together and make it possible for M. to be with us again. Then the agent gave us a brochure showing who M. would be this time, a cute little girl with curly red hair (the child M. once dreamed she would have). That's all I remember. Usualy when I get a dream that "feels significant", I can figure out what it means. But this, I have no idea, and I can't shake the feeling it means something. I haven't dreamed about Melisa for many years. The idea of trying to bring her back into my life (not literally!) disturbs me a bit.
*I believe in reincarnation.
Thanks, Nilly! I hope motherhood is treating you well!
Happy birthday, Glamcookie. I hope it's excellent.
Zen, maybe it just means that you miss her? Or that you're looking for some kind of change in your life?
If I could play hooky today, I would spend the day watching Avengers and eating sushi.
Me, too! And re-watch last night's Sherlock. Get over here and we'll do it! I'm sure my boss doesn't really want this horrifyingly late issue of the journal to go to the printer today.
Me three!!
Zen, I've had a bunch of dreams lately that left an aftertaste in my brain. It's unsettling, to say the least.
Happy birthday, Glamcookie!
Happy birthday, Glamcookie!
Interesting dream, Zenkitty. Maybe it's a sign that someone may be entering your life that will have a role of similar importance to your friend. (Not the exact same role, of course.)
I couldn't watch Sherlock last night because of DVR issues, so I'm recording the rerun in the middle of the night tonight and watching it tomorrow. I did see The Avengers yesterday, and now I'm reading some more of A Clash of Kings, so lots of good media stuff in these few days. Tomorrow night I'm going to see Book of Mormon, too.
Happy birthday GC! Also sending ~ma as I recall last time you stopped by there was much going on in your life.
Grading stopped me from watching Sherlock last night. I finally emailed back all their final work and was finished around midnight. oof. Hate those kinds of work nights. Today I have to go to campus and turn in my final grades. But then I will be done done DONE with the semester!
And as luck would have it, that lemon cordial I have in the fridge should be finished steeping today. Mmm.
My non-internet friend asked me about Fifty Shades of Grey. I don't know how to tell her about fanfic and stuff without sounding crazy.
But then, she already knows I'm a little nuts.
Four cups of coffee and I still want to crawl back into bed. Fallout from spending the weekend with my new nephew and taking a couple of night shifts with the wee man. So glad I'm done with raising infants.
One of the parents at Franny's school told me about Fifty Shades of Grey, so I told her about the fanfic connection. She was shocked! Apparently, the book is quite a hit with all the dance moms....
