Ether / Dicks / Cactus

February 22, 2013September 11, 2022 ~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

(1) So...this dream.  Early on in it I was going to, or I did, sniff some ether.  It was a funny color—not clear like it should've been.  It was a milky pink and I don't know what happened with it... (2) In what I would call the main part of this dream, I was peeping … Continue reading Ether / Dicks / Cactus

Distilled Water

February 21, 2013September 11, 2022 ~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

Been having plenty of dreams but I've either been too lazy to write them down or I just didn't want to write them because they were either banal or too freaky.  Yesterday was a dream having something to do with 'distilled water'.Last night, two threads: (1)  Woke up at 2:30 after a nightmare involving this naked … Continue reading Distilled Water

Lost Cat

February 19, 2013September 11, 2022 ~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

•  Patrick and Brook got a little too frisky in the attic.  We were all here and knew they were up there but... •  We were going to get a cat.  I think it was Patrick's.  We weren't sure how Squirt would react. •  License plate switcheroo.  Jack from Lost switched the license plates on … Continue reading Lost Cat

Breaking In

February 18, 2013December 20, 2023 ~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

In a dream earlier in the night, B and I were in a house—maybe living there—and we were worried—or at least I was worried—about a break-in. Someone did indeed try to break in.  It was a girl wielding a serrated steak knife.  I thought I recognized this girl—maybe I didn't know her but I knew … Continue reading Breaking In

Ceviché

February 16, 2013December 20, 2023 ~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

I've started this habit now, out of—what?—laziness, vagueness, whatever: of writing my dream from the night before/morning-of late the next night, i.e. later during the night of the day I woke up in instead of writing it right away that morning-of when I wake up.  It's not a better way to do it, and I … Continue reading Ceviché

Snow Mae

February 12, 2013September 11, 2022 ~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

Had a tryst with an Asian named Snow Mae at some party or night club.  Ray or Phil might've been there.  I was completely trashed; met this girl; thought she was hot and we left together.  I was aware of my infidelity but said fuckit.  I do not remember what we did, if anything.  We … Continue reading Snow Mae

Thresh-hold: A Flying Dream

February 9, 2013September 11, 2022 ~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

Trying to remember the combo of a lock but I could not. Rebecca Gordon. Deep dish pizza. Taking a class somewhere. Getting a paycheck. Enough for a Roth? Also, Will Randall.  He was trying to find me.  He came to my house but I acted like I wasn't there.  I thought he was going to … Continue reading Thresh-hold: A Flying Dream

New Port

February 7, 2013December 20, 2023 ~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

In Bahamas with B.  Bored for a day, I bought two tickets for us to fly from Nassau to New Port.  I thought they'd cost $200 total.  When I got back to the room, I looked at the receipt and it was $900 total.  I had bought them on my Commerce card and had certainly … Continue reading New Port

Laughing

February 6, 2013May 1, 2019 ~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

My dream was about a girl who was having psychological problems and ended up killing herself.  I don't know my relationship to the girl.  We didn't know one another. In the dream she was played by Maria F., a respondent in the club drugs study.  It was a tragic story.  I feel like I, with … Continue reading Laughing
