Front-Ranger:
My New Year's dream brought a few epiphanies. There were the usual crowds of people in my dream. There was a house as usual. This particular house was a ramshackle place that my son had bought on a whim for his family and me to live in. He had put in an offer which was accepted but the sellers hadn't announced it yet so looky-loos were streaming in and going through all the rooms.

At first I thought the house was a disaster, with windows and doors made from scavenged parts and walls covered in graffiti. But then I noticed that it had some very nice appliances and special features such as a great security system. If my son was willing to put in a lot of work, maybe this house would work for us after some time. Then, my son whispered into my ear that the house was formerly owned by a celebrity. Who was it, I asked. "Anthony Quinn" he answered.

I looked at the house with new eyes. Suddenly it seemed charmingly eccentric. I went outside where there was a fantastic view across a valley and there were pools and bathing places with hot, warm, and cool waters. Back inside, I admired the graffiti-covered walls which now seemed artistic and profound. In one room, two women were scrubbing the walls and removing the paint. "Stop!" I cried. "I own this now!" They didn't believe me and I had to go hunt the sellers to confirm that the house had been sold. I waited patiently to talk to my son who was talking to someone in the hallway. Recognizing the voice, I saw that it was Alan Alda. I was torn between wanting to talk to him myself, wanting to get my son to stop the de-graffitiing, and wanting to explore the house more.

Front-Ranger:
A movie has come out that is so much like my dreams that I couldn't finish watching it. Have any of you seen "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once"? Well, that is what my dreams are like. Exhausting! Although I did like the idea of Michelle Yeoh playing me.

Front-Ranger:
I was finally able to finish watching that movie last night. What really helped was seeing the comedy in it. That's what also makes my dreams so memorable too...seeing the absurdity of life and using it as a tool. I woke up to learn that it has been nominated for several Oscars. 

Front-Ranger:
Have you ever gone to a movie and then seen the movie set in your dream or had some of the characters appear? I imagine this happens a lot. But, have you ever had the opposite happen, where you go to a movie and recognize the set and/or characters that you dreamed about in the past? This happened to me last Friday. I saw the movie "Living" with Bill Nighy, and the main set, an office building in London, was the same as in my dream from last September!!  :o


--- Quote from: Front-Ranger on September 26, 2022, 11:17:57 am ---...I was going for a job interview at a very old-fashioned office where the secretaries were all seated at large desks arranged around a central area, with offices around the perimeter. Everyone in the office was dressed in dowdy suits and clunky shoes with crisp white shirts.

No, I've never had that experience before.  Not that I can remember, anyway.
