R. Martin&#8217;s party, patting my pockets for my ticket, sure I&#8217;d get in if I found it or not. <em>Nov 30<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt three gangsters collapsed on a golf course, and when I investigated, I collapsed, too! The fertilizer was sending up poison gas! <em>Nov 30<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt I worked in a jewelry store, and the moment my boss took a break and left me in charge, the store was overrun by shoplifters. <em>Nov 26<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>I dreamt I interviewed Dwayne Johnson on a movie junket &#8212; but when it was all over, realized I hadn&#8217;t asked any questions about the movie! <em>Nov 26<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>I dreamt I wandered Brooklyn in search of breakfast and ended up at a 100-year-old knishery. Which I don&#8217;t think Brooklyn has in real life. <em>Nov 24<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>I dreamt my HS pal <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marcfrons\">@marcfrons<\/a> got cast as a criminal on <em>Law &amp; Order<\/em>, and I was hired to be his dim-witted sidekick. I used my Lenny voice.  <em>Nov 18<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt I was Loki, trapped in the Roosevelt Island tram above the East River. Don&#8217;t know why, if I was Loki, I couldn&#8217;t escape. Oh, well. <em>Nov 16<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>I dream I visited <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulKupperberg\">@PaulKupperberg<\/a> in Copenhagen, where he was now in charge of tourism. I kept offering him Starbursts. He kept refusing. <em>Nov 14<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>I dreamt <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BELUTHAHATCHIE\">@BELUTHAHATCHIE<\/a> asked what I was working on, and I told him a story that existed only in dream. Now to decide whether to write it. <em>Nov 13<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt I was at Bob Silverberg&#8217;s house. He was decluttering, and offered me a box of his correspondence with Tom Disch. I took it eagerly. <em>Nov 12<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt I visited a cemetery and got into a conversation with a guy who&#8217;d gotten married there only 5 minutes before. Never found out why. <em>Nov 6<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt my mother-in-law built an Eiffel Tower out of cheese as a centerpiece, then grew sad when she realized she could have bought one. <em>Nov 5<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt Katee Sackhoff and I went for tattoos together. She got a skeletal rib cage over her rib cage, while I got zombie flesh on my arms. <em>Nov 5<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt I left a Moscow restaurant and saw <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ResaNelson\">@ResaNelson<\/a> zoom by on a steamroller. I tried to follow on roller skates, but couldn&#8217;t catch up. <em>Nov 4<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt I swam to the bottom of a swimming pool and stayed there for hours, safe and happy. There seemed nothing odd about breathing water. <em>Nov 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt I found myself wearing wedding rings on the ring fingers of BOTH hands. Which confused me at first, but then I became OK with it. <em>Nov 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I dreamt I was working in the Bullpen with Stan Lee &#8212; &#8217;70s Stan Lee &#8212; when a letter came from Larry Lieber suing Marvel for royalties. <em>Nov 1<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been bemoaning the fact my nights have contained fewer dreams than they used to, and November seemed to have had the fewest ever since I began to sharing them with you.
