February 2010 Tweet Dreams

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  dreams    Posted date:  March 1, 2010  |  No comment


If you’re bothering to read this now, you likely already know—I have a very active dream life. The more involved ones get reported on LiveJournal, while the ones that can be summed up briefly are being sent out into the world via Twitter. But since those near-daily tweets seem far too ephemeral, I’ve been collecting them in one place.

So here are the messages my subconscious sent to me last month. Were you with me when I slept?

February 2010

I dreamt I was trying to steal a secret family recipe from one of the Babylon 5 aliens so I could cook the dish to impress his daughter. 7:51 AM Feb 28th

I dreamt I was wandering NY with Jeff Garlin looking for his favorite nut shop, and as we did so I found a pen I had lost many years before. 8:27 AM Feb 27th

I dreamt I was wandering the WTC (the WTC of now, not of then) shirtless, barefoot, in search of both shoes and shirt, never finding either. 7:50 AM Feb 27th

I dreamt I was hanging with Dad in a comics shop as a woman rode by on a bike with a chrome animal skull for handlebars. So I snapped a pic. 7:48 AM Feb 27th

I dreamt I worked in a science-fiction bookshop that published its own magazine. Also working the store that day: Jenn Reese and Mark Kelly. 7:52 AM Feb 23rd

I dreamt I sat in a alley petting a dog who only moved in slow motion. And when I tried to abandon it, Stephen Colbert wouldn’t let me go. 7:47 AM Feb 23rd

I dreamt Cory Doctorow told me someone sent me a coded message via an ad in the NYT, but when I tried to decipher the gibberish, I woke. 7:32 AM Feb 22nd

I dreamt about Cory Doctorow and Neil Gaiman, but don’t know why. Only their names are decipherable from my middle-of-the-night scribbling. 7:28 AM Feb 21st

I dreamt I had tickets to the Tony Awards, but was running late, and could hear the orchestra start to play while still checking my coat. 6:52 AM Feb 20th

I dreamt I was a doctor comforting the mother of a friend after he’d committed suicide by stabbing himself with a pen while in my hospital. 6:49 AM Feb 20th

I dreamt Bob Silverberg wrote a story in which someone won $1,000,000 in the lottery, so fans besieged him with tickets. Which he refused. 7:50 AM Feb 16th

I lost two dreams by scribbling my middle-of-the-night notes one atop the other, and now I’m unable to separate what should be memory aids. 8:12 AM Feb 15th

I dreamt I was trapped in a colorful Jerry Lewis comic book drawn by Neal Adams, and pestered by Lewis’ extremely annoying nephew Renfrew. 7:56 AM Feb 15th

I dreamt that True Blood was taken off TV and now going to start screening in theatres only, but none of you were willing to go with me. 8:02 AM Feb 8th
