So I woke up earlier this morning and my roommate and our friend M who is hosting Thanksgiving dinner today were in out kitchen cooking because of kitchen troubles.

And then I went back to bed and I was thinking about Thanksgiving and I just woke up from a dream where all of the Thanksgiving guests for tonight’s dinner and I were staying at a hotel that was semi-flooded (on purpose?) and there were like tiny orangutans with finned webbing in their arms in the water and they kept trying to pull us under and we went to this strange museum which was like someone’s house full of cats that would get bigger and smaller and all kinds of vases and then we accidentally entered a private room which was someone’s bedroom and then later ivyeyed needed to charge something and she started a blue and purple electrical fire that could barely be seen and I had to put it out but the museum lady got mad at us and kicked us out and so we went to a zoo and there was snake made out of little pellets and it attacked ivyeyed and it was attacking anyone who came close and because of that the king was considering canceling the magic show competition, but my brother was a competitor so I didn’t want that to happen and I accidentally said mean things about him into a mic and 

okay this is getting long so I’m skipping to the end

everyone started becoming evil vampire-like zombie things and I wound up having to violently kill everyone who I’m about to go eat Thanksgiving dinner with, mostly using sectum sempra to sever the head. Luckily Snape was there to make a public announcement about that.

But at least one of them I snapped her neck on the ground with my foot and then later she got up again and I had to kill her again.

And like I just woke up. 

And now I have to go eat a pleasant holiday meal with all of these people and all I can think about is how I’m still half-asleep with a toe still in a universe where I just violently killed them all. 

So.

Yeah.

just woke up from a nap where I had a dream that I was asked to go to a screening of a new Dreamworks movie and afterwards the director asked me what I thought and I was like “Honestly, I thought it was pretty stupid” and he asked me to explain and I elaborated on the inconsistent characterizations in Dreamworks films that allow for cheap laughs at the expense of character and then we watched the movie piece by piece and I was like “See, this talking lion is trying to get out of doing his paper route, which, okay. But he does it by training a zombie to pull his bike! That’s just irresponsible!”

and the director cursed and gnashed his teeth and cried and was like “I am failure! You are right, it is awful!” and I was like, “No don’t be like that. It’s okay. Do you want to go for lunch sometime?”

and then I left the screening and stopped to get some water next to a table where a guy was standing and I was looking at the table because it had papers and stuff on it, and there was a guy behind it and to the side Tom Cruise was sitting on a bench. And the guy at the table was like “We’ve been waiting for you! You’re that writer who wrote all those quirky musicals in the 80s and 90s, right?” and I was like, “Noooo…” and he was like, “Sure you are! Do you want to hear our idea? We’d like to write a musical for Tom to star in, based on one of the greatest novels of all time!” and then he handed me a copy of Paradise Lost, which was apparently written by Stephen King in my subconscious (whaaaat) and some papers and he was like, “We can’t wait to hear your pitch!”

So, first off, I would like to say that I would actually totally watch a movie about a talking lion who trains zombies to help him with his paper route. And second off, coming soon to my subconscious, Stephen King’s Paradise Lost: The Musical! Starring Tom Cruise!

My brain is a strange place.

I had a dream last night

where I had a bunch of kids, all in sets of twins and triplets, and all named after authors. Like every time my brain thought up a new author, there was another set of kids. These kids included

  • Arthur, Conan, and Doyle
  • Jane (girl) and Austen (boy)
  • George and Eliot (both girls)
  • Jake A. and Roland (J.K. Rowling)
  • Bill and Bryson
  • Douglas and Adam

There were more but I don’t remember them all now. George and Eliot were awesome kids, though. I wouldn’t mind real kids like them.

Fun fact about my dreams

I often make up words and names in them. 

Like a few years ago I had a dream when the name of the country I live in (USA) was “Indivia”

Because it’s the root of both “Individual” and “Indivisble”.

Other words dream-me has made up-  notcheese, catju (the front is “cat”, the end comes from the Japanese “kaiju”, meaning “monster”), timery, and probably more that I can’t remember.

And today, while taking a nap, in my dream I was having a discussion with a person who doesn’t exist about kids and whether or not people want to have them. And dream me needed a word, but real me has problems with the word “childless”, but also has problems with the word “childfree” as an alternative, as it is also problematic and overcompensates creating a comparable problem. And so dream me was stumped for a second, but it was a dream and so dream me just had to plough forward and say something because that’s how dreams work.

Which is how I created my favourite dream word yet.  

Aprogenous (adj) - without children or a desire to have children

Presumably the corollary would be Progenous - someone with children and/or a desire for children. 

I AM VERY PROUD OF DREAM ME FOR MAKING UP THIS WORD. 

Not that I expect anyone to actually adopt it. I just wanted you all to know that in my mind this word is totally real and I will probably continue to think it for the rest of my life even if I never use it out loud. 

Wooo.
