For some reason, I haven't been sleeping very well the past couple of weeks. My sleeplessness is a little bit related to Puddy, a little bit related to work, and a little bit related to what I'll just classify as "other".
So, imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning after having a very odd dream! I don't remember all of the details, but it was one of those dreams that left me feeling very odd and off balance all damn day.
Okay, so see if you can follow me here...First up, I'm at my parents house. However, there's a pool in the backyard. There are tons and tons of people over, and everyone is having a good time swimming and stuff, and then it turns into an episode of Northern Exposure (see, I can't even be creative in my dreams!). The episode it turns into is the one where Maggie goes camping for her 30th birthday and gets sick and hallucinates all of her dead boyfriends having a picnic. Remember that one? Well, that was my dream. All of these men from my past...some of them just friends, some of them more than friends, and some of them I dislike...are sitting around, and they just have this bitch session in front of me talking about how inadequate I am.
They were just listing all of my faults, and having a good old time. It was totally a rip-off of Northern Exposure, but everything they were saying about me was relative to me.
THEN...All of a sudden (in my dream) I started to hear these noises happening. I climbed up the fence (in my parent's backyard, remember) and all of a sudden I came to the realization that we were under some sort of bombing/terrorist attack because I could hear the noise and sense the change in the atmosphere. Now, THIS is were it becomes a dream that I'm used to having! So, not only can I scale fences in record time, I can sense terrorist attacks due to the change in air pressure! Yay me!! So, I run around trying to convince everyone that we're being bombed. Of course no one listens to me, and all I can think about is Puddy and Blondie (she was my first dog, when I was very young...don't know why she has a cameo in this dream), and how I really need to get them into the house. For some reason, we won't all be killed if I can just get them into the house. I don't remember much of anything else. I just had the distinct feeling in my dream that I had to save the dogs, and none of the people would listen to me that they were all about to die in some bombing attack in my parents backyard.
So how does it all connect? The past relationships/friends firing squad evolves into terrorist attacks at my parents' non-existant pool with me able to save the dogs but not the people...YOU TELL ME! What does it all mean??

It's just you realizing that you're responsible for someone else now besides just yourself. Now you have Puddy to worry about too. No biggie there. Now, the guys talking about you, I think that's easy to figure out too. You're feeling slightly insecure these days. It will pass. Now, your parents having a pool... that just means your parents should get a pool so we have a place to go swimming. Tell them to get on that!
it means people are evil are dogs are good! :) you either have shitty friends now or have had them in the past! that "other" stuff you were referring to is WAY overrated! and jenny's correct, once you have a dog as an adult it's not you you you so much and you have to accommodate for that in your life. and that was a good episode - that show was good!
