October Dream Tweets

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  dreams    Posted date:  November 7, 2010  |  No comment


Another month has come and gone, and you know what that means—it’s time to harvest the October dreams from my Twitter feed.

Making guest appearances in my dreamworld this month were Nalo Hopkinson, Len Wein, Harlan Ellison, Madonna, Paul Levitz, Adam Baldwin, and many others. (Including—who knows?—maybe you!)

OCTOBER 2010

I dreamt I was being chased by a high school gang drawn like Archie characters, and I was only saved due to the intervention of Miss Grundy. 30 Oct

I dreamt that as I wandered the hallways of a strange hotel, hundreds of people dressed like Alice in Wonderland characters passed by. 29 Oct

I dreamt I bumped into an ex-Syfy employee in a parking lot, then another, and another, until it was a noisy, crowded backslapping reunion. 28 Oct

I dreamt I was trying to retrieve a package of art–including a George McManus Bringing Up Father–that had been misdelivered to Rose Fox. 27 Oct

I dreamt that I woke from a dream and wrote it down, so when I actually woke I didn’t think I needed to write it down. So it’s lost. 26 Oct

I wrote this down to help me remember a dream come morning: “punch commission guy arrested carried away.” But the words mean nothing now. 26 Oct

I dreamt I went to the bank, and my loan officer turned out to be an actress from Gatz, a bit sheepish to be recognized at her day job. 25 Oct

I dreamt I ran into one of my Clarion students, who grew upset when I told him I didn’t understand the ending to his latest story in F&SF. 25 Oct

I dreamt I threw a rent party in my decrepit NYC apartment. But by 3:00 a.m. on Monday morning, I tried (and failed) to shut it down. 25 Oct

I dreamt I attended Worldcon and watched Mike Willmoth furiously complete the program grid for the _following_ year’s con on a whiteboard. 25 Oct

I dreamt I was the curator of the new Harlan Ellison museum, and HE gave a speech during the opening ceremony thanking me for my hard work. 23 Oct

One of my dreams this morning reveals what I must REALLY think of my friends (guest starring Killer Kowalski): http://tinyurl.com/362t2wf 22 Oct

I dreamt that as I tried to make it through the halls to my hotel room, I kept tripping over kids underfoot playing soccer with bottlecaps. 21 Oct

I dreamt I became part of a bizarre cult, and the only reason I stayed was because they DIDN’T want me, so I hung around to be annoying. 21 Oct

I dreamt a Mini Cooper pulled in front of the house, but by the time I got outside, it was gone, leaving behind thousands of pounds of lime. 20 Oct

I dreamt I stood around the kitchen island with friends, paging through an impossibly thick Neil Gaiman popup book. While eating pineapple. 20 Oct

I dreamt I was with Paul Di Filippo and Deb Newton, flipping through a book of wall decals, and suggested they get one of the African veldt. 19 Oct

I dreamt I tried to buy cupcakes at a 7-11, but whatever box I picked up, there was only a fraction of an inch of raw batter at the bottom. 18 Oct

I dreamt I ran down cramped, endless, narrow stairs trying to catch a train I’d never reach, like something out of Tom Disch’s “Descending.” 18 Oct

I dreamt I showed Liz Gorinsky a flyer for Sean Wallace’s course on “Secrets of Publishing.” It unfolded until it was a person-sized sheet. 18 Oct

I dreamt I wandered the deserted streets of Manhattan at 3:00 a.m., and suddenly I was surrounded by thousands of women pushing strollers. 18 Oct

I dreamt I was filming a humorous documentary at San Diego Comic-Con, and interviewed Michelle Trachtenberg, still the age she was in Buffy. 18 Oct

I dreamt I was walking down a country road, a cold bottle of root beer in each hand, when up ahead I saw a police car, and so turned around. 18 Oct

I dreamt I helped Doctor Who–who was sometimes Tom Baker, sometimes David Tennant–smuggle disks containing computer code past evil aliens. 17 Oct

I dreamt I attended a play at which all the parts were performed by ornately iced gingerbread man cookies. (Can’t remember the plot though.) 17 Oct

I dreamt I drove with my Dad and Adam Baldwin to a garage in a car needing repair. While Dad upchucked, Baldwin tried to bribe the mechanic. 17 Oct

I dreamt I missed my plane to Brooklyn and had to spend the night in a hotel. When I checked flights the next morning, they ran $800-$1,000. 16 Oct

I dreamt I talked to Madonna during a photo shoot. She told me not to tweet she was dating Dan Aykroyd. So I turned around and there he was! 15 Oct

I dreamt I had my head stuck in the fridge at the home I lived in as a teenager, arranging dozens of bottles until everything fit perfectly. 15 Oct

I dreamt I was hanging with my parents, and prepping for a trip to California in which I would deliver Mom there and immediately fly home. 15 Oct

I dreamt I was being shuttled to a hotel with two friends I won’t name. When we arrived, I was the only one willing to tip the limo driver. 14 Oct

I dreamt I watched as Carol Burnett flipped a switch detonating explosives that demolished a huge suspension bridge made out of spun sugar. 12 Oct

I dreamt I stood on a mountaintop, eating a perfect pear with a penknife, looking down on a city far below. I was happy. And life was good. 11 Oct

I dreamt one of the most boring dreams EVER — I poured the contents of a bag of frozen pineapple into a bowl and watched it as it thawed. 9 Oct
