    Oh my dear Anna, you are the first person I know with the ability to sleep and dream of bears while the rain is falling upon your face YOU ARE QUITE A CASE

    It's weird enough for me for the reasons aforementioned I'm proud of you

    Quite an appropriate bleeding for the scene you had to portray. It must have given your performance a lot of realism

    How peculiar, I've had similar dreams and I still have them every so often! I think it's like a déjà vu, only that being asleep and pointing to the future.

    I've had those too, for example dreaming of some person I hadn't thought I'd ever see again and then running into him the very next day.

    But my boring explanation would be that whenever something like that happens (and it's bound to happen every now and then), it helps us to remember the dreams we'd otherwise forget, thus making them seem more significant.

    Or if that sounds too dull, maybe it means that the shadow of Easter Bunny was there to give us some information about our futures. That's what was supposed to happen to The Comedian, too, but he just happened to be awake at the time

    Hahahaha. I have to think about this one. My LIFE is weird.
    Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.

    I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.

    Yes - exactly. So I was wondering if I was supposed to do anything when that happens or should I just sit back and observe and think "dang, that's pretty trippy..."

    Also, i never quite know what to make of the dreams...they're always so weird and I guess all I've got to go on is the people in them and how the dream made me feel.

    I once had a dream where I had hitchhiked. I was with a friend going somewhere, so I really have no idea why we hitched a ride from some stranger, but we did anyway. So I was sitting in the guy's pickup truck and he was driving. All of a sudden some guy walks out into the road and bam. Dead. You know how in dreams you are able to "feel" things (like when you fall or get shot or something)? Well, I "felt" the guy's head split under the wheel.

    And the driver just kept on driving. My friend, sitting next to me, didn't even notice.

    It still freaks me out, why I would dream such a dream.

    (Oh, and my "friend" was a litnet member I've never met in person. Good grief.)

    Hmm... hummm... clever analysis

    Never ever seen an Easter Bunny... but I'm seeing Valkyries in dreams and everywhere else... would that do?

    Definitely, they are so weird that we don't really know what good interpretation (or interpretations) could come out of them. I feel some dreams may be warnings of what should or should not be done, but how to know, especially when most of the time I forget many of the details of my dreams? Do you recall them in detail, or you find yourself amid loose ends?

    Maybe it's a warning not to ever meet your friend in person . Probably destiny is not prepared for you two to occupy the same space/time layer

    .....

    On second thought... I'm beginning to derail... so I'd better go to bed before you start believing every word I'm saying as though I were in my right mind

    You seem to frequent this thread frequently.
    Yes indeed. So real that most audience members thought it was part of the show and therefore fake. I certainly had fun milking it for all it was worth; I'm just thankful my scene partner wasn't faint of heart.

    That's what good performers do, take advantage of misfortunes and enjoy the results
