“Dream Momma, i sent you a dream with a car in it about my son and I trying to climb a mountain.  i read your reply and it made sense to me. I had another dream  2 nights ago…………me and my sons father are in a car……..a car again……this time the person driving crashes into a pool i prepare my self to let all the water flow in i let the car load with water hold my breath and see that the car is on it’s side under water with doors locked…….. i then open the window and let water in while again sons father was knocked out from the crash  along with this other person who was reckless that was driving whom i do not know…………I end up dragging them to the top and saving their lives………….Even though I can make some kind of sense of it, I hope you can explain it like you did the first dream I sent.” (sic)

I will try. Cars usually represent someone’s world. You didn’t describe the car but it didn’t sound like a flashy sports car or RV. I’m guessing it was a sedan. A sedan means the dreamer has a mainstream type of life and is responsible. A sedan is a family car, and often represents someone who is conservative (I don’t mean politically). It has four doors.

Spencer Duhm, the UF student from Lakeland who was bumped last night from Survivor, says on the TV show’s website that the only thing that he wouldn’t do for a million dollars is “Snakes. I just don’t do snakes.” Apparently, he also doesn’t do coming out; though billed as “openly gay,” he was anything but open in last night’s episode, skipping an opportunity to respond to direct questions about who he was dating, later explaining that he didn’t think it was a good idea strategically to come out, especially with a good ol’ Southern boy like tribe-mate JT around. As it turned out, JT voted him out because Spencer, a member of UF’s crew team, did poorly in an athletic challenge. We don’t know what editing left out, but up to that point Spencer had seemed kind of reserved, and peripheral to the main action; if he’d been open about his life, maybe he would have been able to forge stronger alliances.

In any case, his whole approach seemed kind of wussy, not to mention politically backward, especially given all the contestants on this and other reality shows who have been very open about their sexuality and managed to do very well. Maybe Spencer gets this attitude from his mother.

I had a dream the other night that I was on a transatlantic flight on its way to Africa. I was sitting next to a man in a brown jacket, clown pants and Jesus sandals who kept repeating, “Down we go.” That should have given me a clue to the unfortunate end to my dream, or nightmare, but it didn’t. Suddenly, the no-smoking sign started flashing a blood-red color and the pilot got on the intercom and said something along the lines of, “We are going down, hold on to your fucking hats.” I couldn’t really make out what he said, but I’ve always thought that would be the best way to break the news to the passengers. If we’re going to die, I don’t want to hear, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to bring an unfortunate situation to your attention. Blah, blah, blah.” Cut to the chase, man! Anyway, to make a long story short, we plummeted thousands of feet into an island and, magically, I was the only survivor. That is the point when I woke up. And for some batshit crazy reason, the first thing I thought of was an episode of The Office when the employees play Desert Island. This taught me something about myself: Apparently, if I were the sole survivor of a plane crash on a deserted island, the most important thing to me would be what movies I was carrying on me and how I could watch them. So, if that were to happen, and if there were a television and DVD player on this said island, these are the movies I would take… Read the rest of this entry »
