Your Dreams

[papayahed]

I often fantasize about residing at the Hawaii State Mental Hospital. Basket-weaving classes in the morning, a lunch of poi, then guarded walks through landscaped grounds on cool rainy nights. Not a care in the world -- a long rest for the spirit. Some day, if I'm lucky ...

So.... What, should I give it my best shot??

Last night I dreamt i was at work - but it was also a grocery store.

Starr, I thought you ARE a Philistine, all blustering threatening and little yield in the scarey department.
And then along come a little David called Papayahed and smack, down you fall. She can do it with just three words -who's Phil Ochs. She is such a perfect straight man to your hilarious diatribes. I have a feeling you had better be nicer or there will be about a hundred forum people buying tickets to Hawaii to 'have serious speaks' with you.

Oooo, I'm trembling in my boots. Besides, it's more fun to be naughty than nice. Santa Claus is not coming to my town.

Santa Claus doesn't exist, I saw it in my dream, he is just a figment of a marketeers imagination, Saint Nicolaas on the other hand, he exists. died on the fifth of december, born on the sixth. And has been granted eternal torment, He now has to come to the Netherlands everyyear in November on a steamboat and give presents to annoying children. He is not allowed to leave until his day of death, when he has to relive the moment. At that time everybody celebrates his live by unpacking the presents he provided, and don't actually care about him at all. He dissapears again, untill the next year, when the process repeats itself again.

Saint Nicholas, once Bishop and imprisoned for his faith is my patron saint.
He's not in eternal torment. He became known for helping young women who would have been forced to marry a man they didn't choose because they were poor and could not afford a dowry. He was orphaned as a young man and used his money to help these girls. He was a very kind and honorable man and was known as a hammer of heretics.
Starr those boots you are shaking in , they are not gum boots with little duckies on them are they? See no matter how you try that little drop of sweetness shows thru. Methinks you are like the Oz as in Wizard of . Once the troop got thru all that nauseating yellow brick road bit and found out the guy was nothing at all really well there was only the good old witch that was interesting past that point.

[AimusSage]

Rachel, I am familiar with the history of Saint Nicolas, but I also know what has become of him in the Netherlands. Here his fate is very similar to that of Santa Claus, the little jab of eternal torment was referring to this. His actual life has little to nothing to do with it.

DON'T LOOK BEHIND THAT CURTAIN!

Last night I dreamed that I was on atype of balcony looking at 5 of me, all dressed differently with different attributes, standing in a circle, I think they were manniquens because I had to pick one and that was what I was going to whwear for the day. I think, I woke up before my choice was brought to me.

AmusSage

oh, oops forgive me. The word Netherlands sounds so ancient and Tolkienish.
I confess I don't know much about the land or peoples or customs. I will try to learn and not sound so ignorant on posts in the future.

so perhaps you were a cashier?
I so love Charlie Brown, the most misunderstood boy in the universe- besides dear Starr
