dream: don't run from the snake

Another dream, last week:

I was driving with my son through this ruin, stone carvings, moss covered, the jungle growing up and through them. I saw a statue of a fertility god, with a round belly and laughing face. I parked the car and ran up to touch it. Then I noticed the ENORMOUS snake in the pool surrounding the figure. I started to run away, and the snake rose up out of the pool. Its head was above mine, it was at least three feet in diameter. I stopped, and thought to myself "If I run, it will surely kill me. If I stay still, I have a chance"

I felt a big thump on the top of my head, and knew that the snake had bitten me, and I was going to die.

dream: the world is on fire

Last night's dream:

I went to the parking lot to get my car, and D had it painted purple. I argued with the attendant, asking him how he could have let this happen as it is MY car.

I pulled out of the lot, looked out and saw block after block of office buildings and skyscrapers (i was downtown). and I saw all these buildings on fire. I looked closer, and saw the flames engulf a block of buildings. it was coming my way.

I backed up to pull out the other way, to try to outrun the flames. I looked across and saw the fire race past me. then the flames engulfed me, and i thought "so this is how it feels to die". I did not feel any pain.

This morning I made an appointment for D and I to meet with a paralegal to start our divorce.

I had a dream about you last night

We were giggling together, like children.
I turned away to catch my breath.
You came up behind me (I could feel you smiling)
and whispered in my ear a question
to which I replied a single word:

"music"

We both became hushed.

A movie within a dream

i had a dream about a man I had a relationship with, who chose not to continue that relationship. I'll refer to him as the Man or M.

In the dream, M and I were walking down a road, we came to a fork. i was going to move across country, i think. and so we parted ways. then i remembered that he had given me a movie that he had had made. i decided to watch it, and my family was there watching it with me. it was an animated movie, very beautifully drawn, well edited (i remember thinking that he had done a really good job of editing it).

The movie was a thinly disguised retelling of our relationship, only he was a dark haired girl. I remember feeling suspicious, but as soon as i saw the red haired man, I knew it was us. i blushed and hoped no one in my family knew. in the movie i watched, the girl told the man how she had regretted not being with him, how she still loved him and wanted to be with him. I wrote down some questions i wanted to ask M about the dream.

then later on, I saw M. I felt very guarded, wary of opening up this conversation again. I told him I saw the movie and his whole face lit up as if to say "oh! you finally got it!" He had given it to me a while ago and i never said anything. and then he said "and...?" waiting for me to make the first move again. i was irritated and said "so what was up with the main characters?" and asked a question pretty much like "what are you trying to tell me?" i felt i deserved an answer, once and for all.

and the dream ended with that. me not knowing, looking into his brown eyes and smiling face, revealing nothing.

a very nice dream

I had an erotic dream last night. I was wearing my black leather corset, standing in front of a woman I used to date, not so long ago. She was smiling at me in a way that said "come play with me!" She looked so pretty and inviting, I had to have her. I unzipped my corset down the front, said something about being dirty. So she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the shower...

I woke up with a languid smile, just before the alarm went off. The radio was playing "Erotic City" but Prince. NICE!
