I’ve been busy lately, so it’s unusually late in August for me to be gathering up July’s dream tweets to see what poetry they might make all in one place.<\/p>\n
Due to Readercon, Comic-Con, and the hacking cough given to me by the latter, I had fewer dreams to harvest during July than any other month I can remember. But still, I has visitations from Bette Midler, John Kessel, Bob Dylan, Dan Rather, Robert Guillaume, Tom Cruise and many others.<\/p>\n
Welcome to my subconscious!<\/p>\n
July 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n I dreamt I underwent a physical exam in preparation for my visit to an alien world. Lots of poking and prodding. Never got there though! 31 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt my son and I somehow got our hands on a huge Green Lantern power ring battery and only used it to project comic panels on the wall. 31 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt @LenWein<\/a> and I rode the subway from Brooklyn into Manhattan for a comic convention, only — we couldn’t remember the hotel’s name! 31 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt I visited @NextRestaurant<\/a> on my birthday, and was served a special dessert as a result. Don’t think the former likely, so dream on! 31 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt present-day me waited for younger past me to wander by with his\/our\/my dad, and then we all posed for a photo. Paradoxes be damned! 31 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt I was coughing endlessly, which I guess is progress of sorts, because I was only dreaming about it rather than actually doing it. 28 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt that our table at a wedding was served a giant flan the size of the table! I took it upon myself to spoon chunks for each guest. 28 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt I was trying to teach a course on the history of public libraries in America, but couldn’t control my class, so had to abandon it. 28 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt I was Dan Rather, and in a deep philosophical discussion with Lena Dunham at a college party. What did we say? I don’t remember! 28 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt I was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and when I attacked by five enemy agents, I successfully fended them off. But then there was a sixth! 28 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt that in a grand public ceremony, I knelt and presented @neilhimself<\/a> with an antique can opener while Dick Cheney watched. 26 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt I was Facebook friends with the Beatles through a single Beatles account. They asked me to do a favor, but I can’t remember what. 25 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt my friends and I kidnapped someone. I trembled when one of them sent me a link about it fearing clicking it would help us be found. 24 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n First post-SDCC dream: Current boss @CraigEngler<\/a> and former boss @LenWein<\/a> talking about how @Paul_Cornell<\/a> turned into a Labrador retriever. 22 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt I was Dexter, upset that LaGuerta had placed spy cameras all over the place. Rather than avoid them, I was about to disrupt them. 20 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt @MaryRobinette<\/a> and I were in a truck near a train that was derailing and knew we’d be hit. We assumed fetal positions and survived. 19 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt John Kessel and I edited old timey literary magazines — each more than a century old — and debated tradition vs. innovation. 19 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt I was a guide on a bus giving foreign tourists a tour of — I have no idea what — and instead made the driver show them my house. 18 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n I dreamt I was in a park with one of my writers, and when she picked a celosia, went on a rant about how the flowers belonged to ALL of us. 18 Jul<\/em><\/p>\n
