Based on what I’ve seen from my other online friends, I seem to dream more than the usual amount. I sometimes tweet about two, three, even four dreams a day over on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I shared my Twitter dreams from October through December with you last week<\/a>, and you can find my March through September tweet dreams, back to the beginning of my account, below.<\/p>\n

Why am I collecting these all here today? Blame Patrick Nielsen Hayden. It’s all his fault. And if you don’t know what that means, you’ll just have to wait for my next LJ entry to find out!<\/p>\n

September 2009<\/b><\/center><\/p>\n

dreamt I was 98 years old, and my doctor wanted to prescribe me antidepressants. “Doc,” I said. “I’m not depressed — I’m 98 years old!” 8:01 AM Sep 4th, 2009 <\/i><\/p>\n

August 2009<\/b><\/center><\/p>\n

July 2009<\/b><\/center><\/p>\n

June 2009<\/b><\/center><\/p>\n

dreamt I was rescuing a hostage in the world of Life on Mars, teamed with Michael Imperioli. And my POV character? Why, I was Gretchen Mol! 6:59 AM Jun 29th, 2009 <\/i><\/p>\n

dreamt I bumped into Peter & Kathleen David in front of the Brooklyn Museum. Oddly, I was scuba diving in a dream-only fountain at the time. 8:24 AM Jun 7th, 2009 <\/i><\/p>\n

dreamt about Irene this morning, which wasn’t unusual, but I’m still not sure why they were _these_ dreams:http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/qdvfkj 7:20 AM Jun 5th, 2009 <\/i><\/p>\n

dreamt I returned home to find that Irene had gotten a crewcut, which looked good with the many tattoos she was also sporting in the dream. 8:33 AM Jun 3rd, 2009 <\/i><\/p>\n

dreamt I was moving into a NY apartment, all the while thinking, “Why am I here? I don’t want to be here. What’s happening to my plants?” 7:32 AM Jun 1st, 2009 <\/i><\/p>\n

May 2009<\/b><\/center><\/p>\n

dreamt I wandered Brooklyn’s Ocean Parkway and Avenue P, which I haven’t seen in decades, complaining about architectural changes. But why? 8:38 AM May 21st, 2009 <\/i><\/p>\n

was visited by Harlan Ellison in every one of my dreams last night, proof I spent too much time yesterday watching Dreams With Sharp Teerh. 7:51 AM May 9th, 2009 <\/i><\/p>\n

April 2009<\/b><\/center><\/p>\n

March 2009<\/b><\/center><\/p>\n

dreamt this morning I shot a deer, had no idea what to do with it, and went looking for neighbors in smoky restaurants for dressing advice. 8:43 AM Mar 30th, 2009 <\/i><\/p>\n

dreamt Dad was alive. No surprise at seeing him, no memory he’d just died in January. We were waking to catch a plane home from China. Nice. 7:48 AM Mar 26th, 2009<\/i><\/p>\n
