Well, I was interested in the subject because I've been wearing the nicotine patch for several weeks and it's been giving me wildly vivid dreams. Because I'm also in the final frantic days before turning in my dissertation for defense, many of them seem to have a diss-like symbolism. Last night, I dreamed that I had a newborn baby and was keeping it in a cardboard box. Except that when I went to check on it, I realized it wasn't a baby at all but a rat! I hope my dissertation doesn't turn out to be rat. And I only just now realized that it's funny, considering my fora moniker.

Oh--and I had one with a narrative. I can't remember it all now, but I was a peasant girl and had married a king somewhere or other. Unfortunately, he was quite horrible and I was desperate to escape. An hireling of the king's, who hoped to stage a coup, agreed to meet me in the tunnel under the amphitheater at 5:15. We were to escape on camels. As I was hurrying to the amphitheater, I ran into my horrible husband king and my plan to meet the turncoar hireling was stymied. As I walked along with the horrible husband king, the hireling passed us and stopped for a minute. I tried to give him an emploring look, but he only gazed on my stonily. And then he said, "the university has some pleats they want you to look at on the internet." I knew this was code for something, but I didn't know what.

I cannot recount my dream on the fora. I suppose there was some narrative...

Wow....that's a great (and a little scary) dream, not to mention rather amusing due to your moniker! I'm sure your diss is not going to be a rat, even if you are rodentia-brained! :) My dream last night was odd. I dreamed about two young men I was friends with in graduate school (I'm still friends with one, but I've lost touch with the other). They appeared where I now teach and were giving me hell about computer-related stuff. One friend was chastising me for letting the computer battery run very low and causing the system to be slow and the other was trying to fix the computer for me. The one that was yelling at me then turned around and broke a plant light that was sitting on the lab counter just to "show me what the computer was feeling". (My friend said that in the dream.) I actually woke up laughing....it was just so nonsensical. |

Let's compromise: choose 3 nouns and 3 verbs to describe your dream in miniature, then. |

It was a code. Your mission is, if you should choose to take it. Break this code. Is it a dress code? A really bad thread code? Or just a code red? |

It was like this http://virtualguidebooks.com/Washington/EasternWashington/SnakeRiverWashington/PalouseFallsTwo_FS.htmlCropguru was quoting Pushkin and I was wishing I was somewhere else, or that we were both somewhere else together, I don't remember. There was something about a decaying hotel. Very postmodern. I have postmodern dreams |

Mine also involved royalty. The whole thing took place in one of those artificial wave pools one finds at amusement parks. The only action I recall is that I got hold of a friend's kayak, got in it, and paddled toward the British royal family's flotilla--just to annoy them--and they WERE annoyed that I encroached upon their space. Once I got there, though, I gave them an innocent look as if the current had "just taken me there".
No idea what it means. Can't recall the last time I was in a boat, and I don't even swim.

I am a historian. I'm finishing my book manuscript.
I keep having dreams that I am "living" in various chapters. Like, if I were a historian of the Civil War, my dream was about being a soldier in a Confederate prison.
It's really annoying. I live with the crappy book day in and day out, and now I have to dream it? Oy.

I dreamed I was looking for something and couldn't find it. I searched everywhere but people kept moving it.

I dreamed that I was trying to get the orientation for new TAs underway, but there were some undergrads there who shouldn't have been there, so I was trying to kick them out while making sure all the grad students who needed to be there were, and that I had all my handouts. A typical too-much-to-do dream during the planning stages of an event.
