I’ve led a sheltered life.

Fascinating post. I use my dreams all the time. Last night’s was vivid and a mixed recollection of an excellent play, ‘Best of enemies’ that I just saw. They are also excellent places to solve puzzles if I can remember the damn solution when I wake up.

Some interesting dream imagery coming from new AI now. Some somewhat scary. But we always knew it would end like this, didn’t we?

Anyway, off to finish the excellent ‘Masters of make up’ book and do a few tweets on it.

Thanks, as ever, for your wonderful support. You’re a dream!

It was a really interesting post. As I’m sure you’re probably aware HR Giger dreamt his ‘Alien’ creation lived in a well outside his house. Probably prefer not to have that one, thanks.

[ I apologize in advance, for some of the emotional parts of this story]:

I was lying in bed. I had just woken up.

My girlfriend, her nickname is Sandy, was lying on on her stomach, grinning lovingly at me.

She looks sort of like the actress, Amy Adams, from the film, "Julie and Julia", except she has long, blonde hair.

She's wearing some kind of outfit, that looks similar to a black bikini.

She props her head up on her elbows, and says: "Hey hun! You're awake! We've had so much fun, during this week off. You always know how brighten my day, when I'm with you!"

I said, "Hey love! What's going on?"

She said, " You've been wanting to go to the countryside, like for...forever! Let's drive out there, and go to Phil's restaurant, and to the bookstore, and to the ice cream place, + just walk around town, and just have fun!"

I said, "That's a great idea!. Um...our doing a lot of yard-work, yesterday, has really made me tired! Could I sleep for about 3 hours, and then we can go for that trip?"

She then moved off the bed, + then she gave me a nice hug, and said, "Sure thing, hun. We always have a great time together! I'll see you then. I love you, my little Love!...I'll see you later today!"

I then fell back to sleep.

Later, I woke up again.

I got out of bed, + got a paper cup of water, from the kitchen.

I looked out the window, at the driveway, + then I was confused by what I saw.

I said to myself, " wait a minute! wasn't Sandy's car parked in the driveway???"

"...Wait- what does Sandy's car look like?"

I then- stood there, + closed my eyes in sadness, + crushed the empty cup, while tears ran down my cheeks.

I then said: "HOTDAMN it!!! ...Why did this happen???....

"....YOU were ONLY a DREAM!"

Thank you. That did give me kind of a rough day. :)

*looks embarrassed*

Oops. Maybe I should written that story, and then reread it later, before deciding if I wanted to post it, or not.

That dream [does] have an amazing plot, but yours is a happy-themed page, in my opinion. I probably should've chosen a happier dream, to put on your page. I'm sorry. :)

I once had a happier dream: one night I dreamed that- Pierce Brosnan, + I, were in a Power Rangers-like team. (My dreams do pick some wild stories, don't they?)

We were on a mission, to look for magic items, in some underground rooms.

Pierce Brosnan found a toy, fake, tobacco-pipe. I think it was a pipe for blowing soap bubbles.

Pierce blew into the pipe, + then the pipe turned all of his hair white! I guess it was a magic pipe. And that was the end of the dream. I guess there's no deep meaning to [that] dream. :)

I love that dream and please, no need to ever apologise. Please share whatever you like. I'm glad you feel the happy vibe of Words of Nerd and hope it makes you smile sometimes.
