Gary's Dream
Sometimes on the weekend I'll wake Gary up and he'll say "Lemme alone. I wanna finish my dream." Then he emerges from the bedroom three hours later and gives me wild details of the dream he just finished. Pirates and action-adventures, usually.
I've always been suspicious of this. I say things like, "Those are called fantasies, Gary." He insists he's able to wake up and then go back to a dream. Someone suggested I look into lucid dreaming and I suppose that explains it.
However, Gary said this a few days ago: "I started having a Big House dream, but then I woke up. I got as far as seeing the bottom half of the house, but I didn't look up to see the rest of it. But, it was surrounded by water, not a moat, more like a lake. Of course, as usual, there were squatters, and we were visiting our own house. But this was new, the guy who paddled us across the lake didn't recognize us. Then I woke up."
"Well, that's not much of a dream."
"That's okay. I'll finish it later this week."
Yes, my Matrix - Philip K Dick - Alice in Wonderland obsessed husband is able to dream in installments. "Oh, I've always been able to do that. You don't do that?" No, you freak. He says that he'll be back to the Big House (specifically, back to the very same Big Stone House on the Lake) this week. I think this one is easy. The Rock House on the big body of water? That's pretty obviously the BNL cruise.
My Dream
While Gary's out there watching dream re-runs, I dreamed a dream with two unreal events in it.
First thing, I ran in to one of my college boyfriends, Dave, and decided I was going to have a affair with him. I have never had an affair even in a fantasy, much less a dream. I always do Gary the courtesy of at least killing him off. This time, though, I made quite the conscious decision to cheat on him with Dave the college boyfriend.
However, Dave was not in luck, because as the sex with Dave started, I became aroused, and glanced down to see that I had grown an erect penis above my vagina. I thought perhaps I could pass it off as a clitoris, but when it curved up to my navel I realized I should honestly call Dave's attention to it.
"That's okay," said Dave (It happens to everyone), "I was almost done anyway." And then he was, by his own hand, done.
First of all, and this was odd, the whole sexual experience took less than two minutes, and second, it seems my old friend Dave ejaculates something that looks like cappuccino foam with raw egg whites beaten in*. Oh, and I had a penis. I really don't know what this means.
* I AM allergic to raw egg whites. Freudian?
Well, you know, you do have your balls back.

Somewhat related, I saw Jaime Friday and watched L Word last night before bed. Definitely a recipe for good dreams!

I've had "Hey, when did I get a penis?" dreams before, with no apparent connection to anything I can think of in my waking life. It's never there when I wake up, so I don't worry about it. I figure my subconscious is having a good time. I've dreamed I could fly or breathe underwater, too. Never really worries me unless I wake up soaking wet.

I had a penis once, too, and I'm often able to breathe underwater. The secret is, not to suck too hard (I'm talking about breathing underwater here. You knew that.)

3 - First thing I thought of.
.75 - I hear one of the characters on L is doomed to die this season.
Sherri - I've never had dreams of flying or breathing underwater. If I recall, flying is ambition, and a little research tells me that "Brand new penis" dreams mean you want adventure, not necessarily sexual.
Big Dot - You. Are dirty.

Queen...they already killed off one major character in Season 3 I think it was. And no one has gotten over it. :(
They just had a bike ride for breast cancer in her honor in the episode I just watched last night for this past season. It was horribly sad.

Queen...holy crap, there was a gun in the last episode and I started to freak out! WHEW...no one was killed.
Yet...going to watch the last episode now.

OK! You were right! Someone did die but it wasn't a major character. In fact, a lot of good comes out of it.
I can sleep now. WHEW.

.75 - Yep, that's what I heard.
