You myoclonic jerk!

May 2, 2008 · Print This Article

There is no feeling quite as delicious as the incredibly soothing and relaxing bliss that overcomes me just as I am slipping into the abyssal plains of dream-ville. My body relaxes, my mind clears, for the first time all day I feel at peace. I float deep down through the clear blue space and sink into a nothingness that encapsulates me like a bubble. Floating, drifting, I’m almost there…

bubble in the sky

No, wait…I’m picking up speed now. Something is wrong! Suddenly everything is getting darker, and I am spinning out of control. There is nothing to grab on to as I plummet, plunge, pitch my way down into this pit of infinite darkness…

falling dream

Hit, twitch, and I am wake again. Sigh. Repeat the above 3-5 times and perhaps my exhausted body will finally release me and allow me to get six hours before it’s time to start my new day. As a frequent sufferer of insomnia, I long for a smooth transition into the Land of Nod. Unfortunately most nights leave me less than fulfilled…

sleepless

Anyone else out there suffer from the most common dream in the book, the “falling dream?” That is no exaggeration up there; I have it every single night, without fail.

What’s an outrageously fatigued girl to do? Well, first I turned to the internet, of course. There was no common consensus.

Some sites told me I was stressed out. What a revelation! Me and everyone else in this county…

Others said I was suffering from sexual frustration. Yeah, tell me something I DON’T know! But what the heck does that have to do with this falling bit?

Then my girl, my pal, my co-conspirator did the most amazing thing. She booked this lovely woman for our show tonight: Dream Coach Kelly Sullivan Walden

kellysullivanwalden

And she’s not just going to be there for my benefit, she’ll be there for yours as well!

The floor is yours. We need you to share some of your dreams for the lovely Kelly to interpret and analyze. The weird, the reoccurring, the sexy…nothing is off limits. Here’s your chance to help us out and be a part of the show. But get them in now, because he show is tonight!

Friday May 2nd at 10:00pm Pacific time.

Any other questions you have for Kelly are also welcome, of course. In addition to being a dream coach, Kelly is also a hypnotherapist, author, and all around inspiring gal.

I don’t remember most of my dreams. The ones I do ALL include being chased and sometimes bitten my a snake…the SAME snake…a HUGE water Moccasin…and they usually include different people from high school!

I was telling Karri, I am the most bad ass chick in my dreams. I can fly, do back flips, kung fu, I can kick anyone’s ass in a fight…

Dream Trista is awesome!

As I broke it down yesterday, I have many odd dreams. Some I am being chased by a man with a gun. (I always hide in the hamper).

I have a lot of dreams about tidal waves. Waves that over power. I MEAN HAAUGE one’s.

The oddest two lately have been dreaming I had mushrooms growing out of my face. It was as if I had gotten burned and when the skin peeled tiny thin mushrooms were growing out.

The one before that, I was being held captive and as a form of torture they supplied me with fried tampons. Yes. Fried.

Perhaps I should contact a therapist and not a dream coach…

Food for thought.

Karri said:

WHAT THE…? I’m speechless. I can’t wait to see if fried tampons are in the dream dictionary. Did you get the melatonin?

Trista said:

I don’t think feminine products exist in my dream world…

which is kinda scary considering how often I forget my pants in the dreams. Hmm.

I’m starting to believe that we’re all a bunch of loons around here!

Better than no feminine products and white pants.

See, always the optimist.

Hahahaha…

Yeah. Fried. I dunno… hahahahha

Recurring dream.

Nighttime. Being chased. I know the street, duck and hide. I think I have eluded the asshat and make my way to my car. The tires have been slashed. I run to another place, not afraid, because I have keys to a friend’s car. Asshat had already closed that option off, too. I start feeling desperate. My heart beats out of my chest, painfully so.

All of a sudden, I wish I could fly over the trees to safety…and some fucking way, I almost make it. About mid-flight, I come back down and have to run again.

Hello, anxiety anyone? You must be sure to watch Kelly, it is my understanding that she will teach us how to control the outcome of our dreams. I like that idea…a lot!

This week i haven’t had any dreams that i remember. I know last week i had a dream a night about all the ex’s. Not so good nights of rest for me.


On 05/2/08 at 6:58 am
Trista said:

I have 3 of them in 1 dream, last night. It was definitely in the top 10 weirdest dreams of my life. I think I’d rather dream about your ex’s. Wanna swap?


On 05/2/08 at 7:03 am
mai said:

well which one do you want to dream about. old, f-ugly, fruit name, or most recent crazy biznatch?


On 05/2/08 at 7:43 am

I’ll trade you fruit name for the ex husband.

The ones I remember are all erotic. Most involve me being used sexually by The Hawaiian and another person, sometimes male, sometimes female. Nothing too outrageous there.

Ohhhh, that is sad. But I don’t even get any play at all…that is sadder still.

UncleGus said:

Well, I don’t know if this helps, but you get plenty of play in MY dreams…. ;)

I’m usually having dreams where I’m fighting someone, or I’m trying to get somewhere fast, and I can only walk real slow because my legs feel like they’re moving in a vat of molasses. No running. Then sometimes I can totally fly and do whatever I want. Normally, if I don’t like the way something is going, I can rewind to right before I start losing the situation, and turn it around into my favor. That would totally be a power I’d choose.


On 05/2/08 at 9:34 am
Karri said:

You’re fighting with Trista in your dreams? ;)


On 05/2/08 at 9:39 am
UncleGus said:

Well, you may call it fighting, but in my dreams, we don’t necessarily get hurt. There’s lots of wrestling, and biting, and sometimes even molasses, and then… well, let’s just say they’re fun nonetheless… and always with a happy ending!

Now I feel better,I am not only one having sex dreams.
Worst thing is,I can’t usually remember my dreams well.
And,if it counts,I have dreamed about you ,Trista ,but before I go to sleep.
Don’t know, why I feel myself sexually frustrated,is it if I don’t have sex while I am awake?


On 05/2/08 at 10:00 am
Trista said:

So you having waking dreams of me? Awesome.
as far as sex dreams go, I’m curious too, because I tend to have more sex dreams when I am MORE sexually active. Hmm. I will definitely bring this up tonight with the dream lady.

The recurring theme in my dreams is frustration, where nothing goes right and there isn’t anything I can do about it. On the rare occassion I have a sex dream, there’s always a lot of foreplay and I wake up before the finale. Without fail. I have NEVER actually had sex in a dream. Also, the sex dreams are always about either my husband, or Colin Farrell.

Trista said:

Lucky, I never dream about sexy celebrities. I am more likely to dream about Paul Ruben.

My dreams usually fit right in with my life. If I am really stressed and have a ton of things to get done I’ll have the Black Hole Dream. Floating in space and toward the black hole until I start to get Spaghettified (real term for what happens- it kills me.) and stretch into it until I wake up.
It’s never anything like, a polka dot butterfly with 8 wings lands on the east side of a map of Rancho Cucamonga, and it’s wearing my mothers favorite Holiday Hand Towel like a turban.
Actually - that kind of sounds like an acid trip…

Trista said:

last night I dreamed that by accident I had discovered I had this amazing talent for kicking objects into space(what the…?) but my ex husband came along and ruined my world tour by trying to kill me.
yeah, dream lady… Interpret that!

Meghan said:

Should have kicked him into space! I know kicking in general has a ‘dream meaning’. Can’t wait for the show!

TRM said:

I have a recurring dream.

I’m working my way through a wood with no paths. Occasionally I begin on a bicycle, other times I’m simply walking. I eventually come upon a stream too deep to cross. Sometimes I can ride my bike along narrow paths of branches criss-crossing the stream, others I can’t - but I always eventually end up abandoning the bicycle and finish the crossing on foot. As I make the last leap onto the opposite shore, I crash through a thin paper-like membrane, down into an enclosed depression, and land upon a soft mound of earth and leaves. As I stand, I accidentally crush a small red bird. Then I realize I’m surrounded by a rainbow of differently colored birds. I’m also aware I’m able to see what appears to be a door ahead, with a window. I then become aware I’m in an enclosed space. I make my way to the door, and see a woman on the other side. I ask her to release me, but she refuses, citing the death of the red bird as the reason. As I turn again to look at the bird, I see through a larger window I’d not previously noticed that several people - odd but alluring people, like the nymph-ish woman behind the door - are watching me through the glass, and I’m now the featured centerpiece of some sort of display in an underground marketplace or gathering place - like a mall of sorts. I generally wake up at this point, while I’m observing the faces of those who observe me.

Now - tell me how crazy I am. Have me committed. I could actually use the vacation.

that is so detailed, I could see it…
and you’ve had it several times? I will retell this tonight, most definitely.

Rex said:

I’m prescient. Honest.

I always have dreams, but every now and then… snippets of events that haven’t occurred YET. Which is why I’m worried about this recurring dream of mine getting shot in the throat in a fast food restaurant and dying. I’ll save you the details. Know that it’s intense and all senses come into play.

Actually, all my dreams are vivid and sensory-inclusive. Especially the sex ones. Damn shame none of those could manifest into reality.


On 05/2/08 at 1:04 pm
Trista said:

Oh gawd! That’s freaking awful!

No more fast food restaurants for you!

If you must know here’s a journal entry about it. Every now and then, I get a bit more detail on the woman’s face.

Not even for a 99 cent Snacker??? I’d almost risk my life for one of those. ALMOST.

I would share one of my sex dreams, but nah. WAY too graphic. And many involve mutual friends. Sometimes you. WHAT. Just being honest here…

It’s how I roll.

Nice. You should get me to do some back flips…dream Trista can do that, you know.

Look at all these epic comments! I’m just full of one-liners. Anyways, I’ll tell you why you don’t have sex dreams: BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEX.

“I only have sex dreams when I AM having sex.”

HORNDOG. I didn’t do any other damn thing when I finally got some. No dreaming… no jerking it… nothing. I just spent as many hours as I could with the girl, boning her into unconsciousness.

OK, not unconsciousness. Just until her legs were jelly.

Tossing and turning all night I finally drifted into a dream state, and now this is weird, but dreams are weird, I was trying to escape some kind of, I don’t know if it was a cult or what, a private village or something. I did finally escape about half way through, but not out of the barriers that enclose the place. The leaders were searching the place high and low for me. I’m the human sacrifice or something I don’t know, I didn’t ask them, but I rather had to put the pieces together of what the hell was going on. If I were to interpret it, it could be me trying to escape the prison in my mind, my life, or some kind of false subconscious prison? I woke up mid-way through, but when I finally fell back asleep, we’d just pick up where we left off in the dream, as if it was a movie. That often happens, I always go right back into the nightmare. James Cameron was asked where he gets his ideas from (Titanic, Terminator). He said, “When I’m asleep, in my dreams.” I did make it out of the barriers finally, and that’s when I woke up. Strange.

I rarely remember the good dreams, or the sex dreams, but nightmares are very vivid. Snakes tend to make random appearances in them. There was one where they were all around me attacking people, but not touching me I was walking through them. I asked a friend of mine what that meant, he said, “a snake means someone is jealous of you.” I’m all, “who is? And Why?”


On 05/2/08 at 1:09 pm
Trista said:

I had a reoccurring dream with snakes when I was younger. I shall ask about snakes.

Karri said:

“I’m the human sacrifice or something I don’t know, I didn’t ask them…” I know this is totally inappropriate, but that made me giggle.

I don’t remember the good ones either, I’m convinced I don’t have any. That sucks!

A recent dream:
There was some emergency, what was unknown, but the U.S. was devolving into chaos. I got a call from a friend of mine at CSUF who was stuck at the Daily Titan because someone had slashed her tires and she needed a ride to evac. I was at home collecting my survivalist gear when she called, so I went to pick her up. I pulled into the College Park Building parking lot and parked near the back door of the building. As I got out, I heard screams and fighting, so I got my .22 out of the car and went, stealthily, into the building. When I got to the security desk, I saw a couple of guys trying to rape her behind the desk, and she was fighting them. I stepped around the corner and capped one of them with a head shot, then turned to the other and said, “This looks like fun. Can I play, too?” He looked at the muzzle of the gun and stammered, “Yeah. Sure.” I said, “Good. I’ll be on her side.” and popped him, too. As she gathered herself up, I policed my brass. Then I handed her the .22 with, “Safety’s off, 9 rounds left,” and pulled a .45 out of the back of my waist.
.
We went out to my car and headed for the freeway. As I pulled onto the onramp, I saw a guy flagging me down. I stopped and he pointed a gun at me and told me to get out of the car. I said, “Don’t hurt me, please, I’m afraid of guns, it’s no problem, don’t shoot me, it’s no problem.” I opened the door and said, “Wait, let me get my seatbelt. It’s no problem.” When I reached down and unbuckled the seatbelt, I pulled the .22 from next to the seat. I started to get out of the car, with my hand behind my back (.22 in it) saying, “It’s no problem, it’s no problem.” As I stood up, I said, “There is one problem.” He said, belligerently, “What’s that?!” I pushed his gun aside, brought my own up to the middle of his chest and said, “I don’t respond well to threats.” Then I put a round through his heart, took his gun, policed my brass, got back into the car and we took off.
.
I thought it was odd that, in the midst of all this chaos, I MADE A POINT of collecting my shell casings.

I have a lot of sleep problems myself. Hypersomnia, and central apnia are the two biggest sleep problems. But as far as dreams go, I have a lot of dreams, where I am killed violently. I am shot multiple times by someone I don’t know who has a big gun pointed right at me. And the weird part is, I actually feel pain in my dreams. I lay there, after I am shot, bleeding to death, in a lot of pain, until I slowly bleed to death. Well, there are also a few lucky times, where I am shot square in the head, and die right away. Either way, these dreams scare me, a lot! I do also have those falling dreams, but I don’t wake up, until after I hit the ground. I see myself die in my dreams often. I am almost used to it by now, but it still wake up in a cold sweat. I just want some peaceful restful sleep!!

Oh man, that’s awful! I have never died in my drams, not that I can remember.
