I actually love interpreting dreams and think it'd be a fun comm
I had a dream I met the author Thomas Pynchon and had him sign a book without letting on I've never actually read any of his stuff. I then proceeded to tell him how I knew someone that went by the screen name @HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net and instead of looking like this
he kinda looked like Mark Ruffalo.
But...I am Thomas Pynchon.
Hmm, it's harder when i don't know what else is going on in your world, but my first crack is you love you some hexbear slop but you maybe think it's time to buckle down and read (or more deeply read) that one theory/book/piece you've not delved into yet
I have been reading more lately to work on my in the gutter attention span but I've just been rereading some fantasy slop. Have been thinking of getting into some Parenti though
I need to read more anything as well. i used to be such an avid reader but its super bad now, maybe ~4 books inna whole effin decade.
I had a dream last night where I killed someone. I was trying to beat them to death but that was taking too long so I shot them a few times and dumped the gun in a large body of water. There was something before this but I only remember the very end. We were in the woods.
Dream 2 (woke up and fell back to sleep) I purchased a large fossil from a museum and was trying to convince security it was mine. I kept trying to show proof but, as a dream, the papers kept changing and I couldn't remember any details. It was huge, some kind of dinosaur bone.
Usually in my dreams I get killed, which isnt very funny, because I can "feel it". Like hiding from a school shooting (not american btw) being shot in the head and it felt too real, like my vision suddenly flashing black and the sound of the gunshot slowly fading out into black void.
There was also a dream that actually woke me up and traumatized me because it was so horrific. Tbf my phone was playing like a scary video (thanks youtube) and so it was kinda subtly influencing me.
The good ones are usually me living a cottagecore lifestlye post-apocalypse or like as a vampire in a vtbm-esque noir city.
I feel like these dreams're connected. In the first you dump the gun but not the body. Did the body go in the lake too? Mebbe you're trying to kill an aspect of yourself?
The second dream was an interesting follow up to the first, this time trying to convince others of your ownership rather than covering something up. Both dreams had large objects, so size is important maybe?
Other people's perceptions are something you're working with in both dreams, tho you actively avoid discovery in one and fight for validation in the other
Perhaps there a problem or project you feel is too big for you to handle? Or maybe you don't feel yer getting enough credit from people for the hard work youre doing?
I think I left him there. I had to go a long way to find a place to throw the gun away. I feel like I thought I needed to hide him too but I didn't actually do it. I don't remember that part very well though. I definitely didn't actually get around to doing anything with the body.
That is interesting, I hadn't noticed that connection. Thank you.
I'm glad you liked it, it was fun and interesting for me to try. Thanks for sharing your dream :D
