Dreams

My subconscious has been quite active lately.  Much more so than my real life.  I think part of the reason has to do with me watching SNL clips on continuous play (on hulu) as I fall asleep.  Usually I reserve the dreaming to my good spanish friend (hiii lola!), but for the past weeks not only have I been having very vivid dreams, but I've been remembering them too.

For much of my life, I've fallen asleep to the TV, and before I had a TV in my room, I fell asleep to music.  I can fall asleep without it, but definitely not as well.  I think it's so interesting how a person can absorb what's on the TV as their sleeping.  For example, during college--I would always watch Family Guy on Adult Swim at 1:30am as I was falling asleep.  And for anyone that's watched Adult Swim late into the night, there is some very scary and disturbing programming.  You can imagine the dreams I woke up with when I forgot to put my sleep timer on.

This past week, I had a dream that I was at a Dave Matthew's Band Concert, but either the concert was in the dark or something because none of my friends could see it.  And I was like "guys, it's Dave Matthew's Band, I know their sound,"  and I was so proud of myself for recognizing the song without knowing the song or seeing them.  And guess what...I woke up and there was a DMB clip playing on my computer! (they were on SNL recently)

But more interestingly, my dreams for the past week have involved Twitter.  For those of you who are on twitter, (and hopefully you can follow for those of you who aren't), sometimes you have a thought during the day and are like....i think my readers (aka all 15 people who follow me) would be interested to know this little tidbit.  In my dreams, I've been having these little aha moments, where I think to myself, "I must remember to post this on twitter when I wake up, it's sooo funny."  And I've actually been remembering when I wake up, but everything I've thought of is complete nonsense.  For example, I thought to post, "when I wake up my cat while he's sleeping he makes the same squeaky clicking sound as my computer does when I wake it up," or "I'm making a musical montage for the opening credits of a show by ripping up ziploc bags and taping them back together."  Like subconscious Jamie, those thoughts aren't coherent and nobody would like to read about them on twitter.  Give me some good material I can work with!
