medical curiosity

Something about bagels.

In a dream between hitting snooze I was parking the car in a very skinny spot.

The first part i have no idea what happened but I woke up with the urgency to rememeber MEXICAN FOOD. This appeared to have been a central theme.

The next section involved Ellen Degeneres who was a psychoanalysist who told me there were 3 very important things you need in your life – mints, carnitas (pork) and…I missed the last one! Throughout the night I kept waking up and thinking “PSYCHOANALIST. CARNITAS”.
Oh man and also I had an in-dream vegetarian fail! I ate some pork off a cooked pig’s pelvis! It was delicious, and I was trying to figure out what muscle it was, kept thinking “pyriform, posterior wall of the pelvis”.

Early this morning I was somewhere like Leura with my Mum & Dad and 2 mysterious Aunts I have never seen before. There was this large elaborate set of stairs to the top of whatever was the main attraction. The Aunts were fairly annoying, my Dad was trying to take photos and they were just being stupid. I asked him to take a nice photo of me and when I went to review it he’d somehow taken it on an iPhone (even tho he was holding his SLR) and also he was somehow taking screencaps rather than photos.
We went to lunch, my mum had already sat down and ordered a whole strawberry cheesecake and some beef & black bean sauce. Didn’t eat any beef, just rice and onions. ‘Wuthering Heights’ started playing in the restaurant and I started doing the dance moves, which I thought was pretty amusing.

Something about a hospital just jumped in my head too.

Oh man and I had to change my trousers and somehow was at uni and the trousers they gave me not only had Coca-Cola branding across the groin they had a NEON sign near the ankle that lit up a hand giving you the finger. I had to wear them, I was mortified!

Re: clothing – in an earlier dream in the night, I found these shirts that had picture of a dude on them slipping over (kind of like the dude on toilet doors). In my head I knew these were worn by the kids at uni with narcolepsy, and in the later dream with the neon trousers I considered putting one on but thought it was rude.

ok so uni is dumb and i am not doing very well and exams are in 2 weeks and i might fail WHO KNOWS but it turns out studying medicine is kind of dull? i mean it is real interesting and i am learning a lot but trying to write a blog with proper posts is hard so eff that.

so instead, for the moment, i am gonna use this to document my dreams! i dream most nights, and always they are odd and boring! they are very much centred in real life where nothing interesting happens. now why am i going to document them? to help me LUCID DREAM

this has actually happened to me about 3 times that i can recall, but only one time did i remember to try and do something cool and i thought about floating in the air and i started to float in the air and then it all went to black.

So, going back to the last couple of dreams I can remember:

Wednesday: was at Steve’s house, was going to root him. ‘Smile’ (or ‘Not Big’?) by Lily Allen was playing and I thought to myself it was weird to be having sex with your ex-boyfriend while a break-up song is playing. We were in the living room pashing on and people kept coming in, I said we should just go to his room and he said “oh this is my room now”. He’d lost his job and could only afford to rent out the livingroom of the house.
I started to laugh and walked away (end).

Thursday: can’t remember much detail, but at one point I was talking to a social worker at work (?) and her phone rang and it was Peter! She passed the phone to me (it was an iPhone) and he just sounded distracted and irritated with me. In the end he said he had to go to the toilet and hung up.
Also somewhere in there Ryan was asking me all these questions via twitter, most of the time forgetting to @ me.

Friday: can’t really remember the start, but Tim Heidecker featured prominently as a close friend, he was kind of partly Webber but looked like Tim.
We were in a big house, there was something about posters for an upcoming show and the start of the dream was set in on the stage of a theatre. The house was getting leased out and Tim/Webber had to move out (there was something about Kate Beaton?) and I found that a mirror on the wall was on a hinge and behind it was a SAFE! The safe was open and that was actually a doorway to a whole other secret studio apartment!
It was really modern and clean, the weird thing was that the window above the kitchen sink looked out onto the livingroom of the main house (on the ground floor with high ceiling, the studio was on the first floor). Someone had left 2 chocolates on the kitchen bench, a Baileys and a Cointreau liqueur, so I decided to eat the Baileys chocolate. It was pretty old and not very good and then Tim/Webber discovered that I had found the unit! He already knew about it and thought it was cool too.
Ok then there was something about being in a Walmart-esque store (actually maybe more like Sam’s Club? stuff stacked on pallets in a big warehouse) and someone had taken me and my car and they said they would buy me a new tyre as compensation for kidnapping me. So while I waited for the tyre to be fitted I went to the pet food aisle and there was all this crazy dog food that was like frozen Hungry Man dinners for dogs (in those little trays with sectioned portions) and lentils for dogs. I couldn’t find the cat food section before I had to go.

Ok so I can’t remember any more after that but somewhere before all of this I was in the dream going “ok so I gotta document my dreams to help me lucid dream” (which at the time I thought was real life so I didn’t realise I was probably lucid dreaming!) so I wrote this list in an email to myself about all the stuff that had happened prior except then I woke up for real! I was really annoyed because I didn’t have it documented and I couldn’t remember what had happened.
