Did the asparagus look like asparagus or did you just know that that was what it was?<BR/><BR/>Were you a vampire or were the other people vampires? I'm sad to say that in spite of years of Buffy obsession, I've never had a dream with a vampire. Or any kind of fantastic being: no unicorns, goblins, fairies. Kind of disappointing.saleemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346680913572656707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275632351023557092.post-85114935785691832632009-01-07T17:15:00.000-05:002009-01-07T17:15:00.000-05:00I didn't realize that people generally dislike, or...I didn't realize that people generally dislike, or are bored by, listening to others' dreams.<BR/><BR/>My friends seem to get a kick out of the one I had when I was seven (or so) in which I was at the circus, wandering under the bleachers, going towards the carnival part, when I look down to discover asparagus growing out of my arms. This was before I had ever encountered asparagus.<BR/><BR/>I used to have a recurring one that involved vampires (and me trying to fit in). That dream was related to self-esteem I strongly suspect. Haven't had it in years though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181283664801365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275632351023557092.post-17680215740661336052009-01-07T17:14:00.000-05:002009-01-07T17:14:00.000-05:00I think my favourite random part of the Lynch book...I think my favourite random part of the Lynch book is the section on Badalamenti ("He's like my brother.") where Lynch describes berating him until he stops playing "badly":<BR/><BR/>"...I like to sit next to him on the piano bench...Then I say, "No,no, no, no, Angelo."<BR/><BR/>I like picturing this happening.saleemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346680913572656707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275632351023557092.post-33249022276850048762009-01-07T15:44:00.000-05:002009-01-07T15:44:00.000-05:00I was also disappointed by all the meditation stuf...I was also disappointed by all the meditation stuff in the Lynch book. I promptly threw it in a pile of books I am going to give away or sell. It lasted all of an afternoon. But there was still enough interesting stuff in there that I can say I'm glad I spent the afternoon reading it. Yeah, the "dream logic" part is the best part of the book.<BR/><BR/>I have decided to abandon all previous blogs for my website blog, at http://www.jonathanball.com/?cat=3. I haven't yet written in that blog since Dec 2, until today that is, when I decided (one of many new year's resolutions) to actually write in the damn blog. So that's updated as of today, and I will promise to write more, as I see you've kept up your end of the bargain, with some sporadic-yet-interesting blog posts.<BR/><BR/>Hope the New Year treats you well!Jonathan Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658778404579677051noreply@blogger.com
