you killed Death remind me never to p*** you off

i generally wake up after dieing or go into another dream. i've had a dream where i was a ghost but i didn't dream of becoming the ghost.

I hate dreams where you aren't real.

I also hate becoming consious in dreams. Especially when you can't get out of them.

How did you feel when you were the ghost?

pretty cool and pretty in control of where i went. it was, interesting.

yeah?
That must've been nice.

In all the dreams I can remember I'm always in some kind of potential danger.

When I was little I had one where I turned into He-man

did you have the skimpy chest leathers on

on a serious note, i had another ghosty dream. well it was part of a larger dream. i wasn't the ghost but i was just scared to go into this room that i knew contained...something. i was in complete control as well. so i didn't go in. i had to though cos the keg needed changing but i just went back to the bar and sent someone else. then all sorts of weird stuff started happening. i think it best not to be in control when that happens. i find it most confusing

the complexity of the whole dream though was mindboggling. i wish there was someway of videoing them. it was, as always, extremely vivid and real again. i think possibly i touched on astral planing again i don't like that.

Yes I did have the skimpy chest leathers on, but I was also a man

Maybe it should've been you who went into the room. Is there something you're afraid to face?

Last night I had a dream.... can't remember it too well though. Probably another vampire one though.

*clears desk of clutter in one sweeping motion of the arm that knocks everything into the bin.*

right, who's got a dream for me to pick apart?

want a dream?

why, you got one?

slightly less disturbing that the last one.

I dreamed of a world where the people had no connection between each other, there was no empathy.
It was utterly dark adn utterly corrupt, and although my view was outside briefly I didn't see a sky and there were no plants.
When you were 'fired' you were expected to take your own life.
The people didn't make their own bread. Machines did. For some reason this concept horrified me in the dream. As though these people where utterly detached from what they needed to live. It was just provided.

I saw a man being fired in favour of another more skilled man.
There were no women.
The one who fired the man said "I know we owe this great city to you, and the other veterans, but it's only business."

Then I saw the War that they talked about. The ground was hard and black. There was sky but that was black and stormy. There were lots of soldiers. One of the men was being slightly disobediant and talking, so his commanding officer cut off his jaw.
That's how that world was made.

I woke up feeling grateful that that dream world wasn't ours.
then I wondered how different it was.

you said it was less disturbing

'sits on the couch'

?

wasssssuuuuuuup

don't take the micky!.i wanted to see the dream analyst not dr seuss

i had a rather disturbing one last night.. lots of assorted nonsense i dont remember much of ,but what stands out is waking up with a piercing..but it wasnnt hat id wanted..n i was saying how i couldnt trust the person who's done it anymore..(not the piercer, the person whod been with me, thoug i cant remember who it was) ..but the disturbing bit was i think i was at the denist.,or i had to go there.n my teeth were coming out..gum n all..just sort of falling out..n others were just breaking.. not had one like that..

well, the jumbled nonsense could be anything. your mind may just be doing some reorganising or soaking up some information. don't make sense to you, aint gonna mean squat to me.

and i can't believe that you of all people would ask me about the worlds most common dream where a persons teeth are falling out and crumbling away

are you just bored perchance?

no i am not just bored!.. i know what it means i think,just confused as to how it applies to me right now..

"but what stands out is waking up with a piercing"

you used to have one and it fell out not so long ago. perhaps you want it again?

"n i was saying how i couldnt trust the person who's done it anymore"

it fell out, no wonder you may have doubts as to whether it was in properly.

"not the piercer, the person whod been with me, thoug i cant remember who it was"

when we dream of others in our dreams, it is more likely that we are dreaming of ourselves. personifying an emotion into a form of it's own. or merely giving ourselves a solid projection to aim all our grievances and feelings about ourselves at.
you do not trust yourself because you let it fall out last time.


and the teeth is self explanatory and ties in nicely with the rest of it


that'll be £270 please

plus service charge at 10%

plus wear and tear of couch which is £3.50

and the fact this is a 'working lunch' which is time and a half that makes the total bill..

...£444.00

hmmm im not so sure about that..it was a piercing i didnt want for a start ..thanks anyway though..

you never said that

an intrusion that breeds insecurity then.

£494.00

I did say it was one i didnt want!

that sounds more like it.. goes bettter with tthe teeth too ..they werent so mucch falling out as coming in clumps away with lumps of gum still attached

its making more sense to me now anyway... ..i obviously have intimacy issues

oh yeah? don't you owe me more than that for my counselling services? then theres the magical invervention, the wages im owed for working here ,noyt to mention your rager large bar tab..
