Amanda also has a way with words. If you are ever looking for a new word to add to your vocabulary, talk to Amanda. She’s got language and knows how to use it.
But I’d like to talk about dreams for a bit, and since I can’t remember any of Amanda’s dreams, I’ll relate the one I had last night.
I was stranded on an Island somewhere, although it wasn’t a tropical island, more like a sub-arctic island. Anyway, the people there had apparently shipwrecked or crash landed or something, and had reverted to a more primitive lifestyle, much like the YSA. There was some sort of leisure center on the island (maybe something like the institute building).
Anyway, the people had adopted a particular method for courtship on the island. The men would run down into the water, catch fish by whatever means they could. Then they would run back up to where the women were, smack a woman with the fish and carry her off. I had no fish, and therefore, no luck with the ladies.
Now apparently there was another way to be impressive on the island, and that was to find a piece of the shipwreck on the other side of the island. Now, even though I don’t like swimming in real life, I’m very good at it in my dreams. I can hold my breath indefinitely and even sometimes breathe underwater.
Well some jerk was taunting me to jump into the water where the shipwreck was, but I didn’t want to. So he pushed me in. I responded by pulling him in with me. When we got to the bottom, this jerk tried to hold me down underwater. I didn’t really understand the point of this because, well, I can hold my breath forever down there. That’s where the dream ended. What does it mean?
Besides being able to swim like a fish, there is another recurring ability I have in dreams. I run like a wolf or a dog. A dog runs by pushing off with both hind legs, catching himself on his front legs, and then swinging both hind legs underneath his body for another stride. That’s how I run in my dream, and I seem incapable of running any other way. I seem to be able to run very fast like this too.
So tell me what you think. Am I crazy or normal? Share your dreams with us.
