interesting dream

One of my regrets in life is that I didn't do more with my father's mother, my grandmother. I had a dream last night that she was alive and my brother Fred and I were with her. I realized in my dream that, even though my grandmother was miraculously alive again, I wasn't doing more with her as I'd previously regretted not doing. I was aware of the regret even as it was happening!

a daughter?

I had a dream last night that a friend gave us a little girl (I suppose the way one would give someone a dog or cat that he couldn't take care of anymore): her name was "Olive Gordon."

Jerry and I were on a flight to London and were dismayed to find that we couldn't sit together: Jerry was sitting in the ceremonial section, or something like that, so I couldn't sit by him. I was put out because there were so many people on the plane that I wouldn't be able to lean over into a free seat: all the seats were filled. In fact, there were so many people on the plane that folding chairs were having to be put out...it was a big plane, obviously. Actually, it didn't come across so much as a plane visually, on the inside, as a big room.

two good quotes

"A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow."

"Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quetly and safely insane every night of our lives."

• Sleep expert William Dement, quote in Salon.com

Freddy Krueger

When the kids on Elm Street found themselves in a dream with Freddy Krueger, could they not make themselves wake up? This Freddy vs. Jason movie is cracking me up!

Freddie brought Jason back, and now he can't make him STOP!!

Is what we see or seem
but a dream within a dream?
