Dream Interpretation

Maybe with a side of fava beans?

Haha, I think that's a Hannibal Lechter reference, right? I'm not sure what the connection to cannibalism and Armie Hammer is, and not sure I want to know. So let's say my lover in the dream looked a little like a Ken doll instead.
About the monster, it was purple with green spots and I think it actually had two heads but one was on a short neck so it was not a threat. That whole part of the dream reminded me of the passage in Brokeback Mountain where the spoon and cup were in lurid cartoon colors and the spoon resembled a tire iron. Sometimes your brain does things to try to defuse a situation so you can tolerate it.
A lot of my dreams have metaphors and puns. So I think that the monster biting my chin means that sometimes my past actions will come back to bite me. Literally.

Let's just say he's fallen from grace. He hasn't eaten anybody's liver or any body part AFAIK but some little gross things, also told women he imagined eating their ribs. But the real dealbreaker was that he was abusive and rapey. Sorry to have to break this to you. If you google "Armie Hammer cannibal" you'll see a bunch of articles describing his specific actions.
But if you weren't aware of this, then obviously the Armie in your dream did not hold that meaning, so whew.

Much better, because a Ken doll apparently looks like Ryan Gosling and that's about as good as you can get!

That's an intriguing interpretation!

I wasn't sure of the wine. ;D

That's a movie I think I'd actually like to see, that and Asteroid City. :D

Last night I woke up at about 3 a.m., half-remembering a dream I'd just had. I could vaguely see meaning in the part I could remember, and I told myself I would come here today and write about it. But now I have no memory of even that part.
Maybe I should keep note paper by my bed. Although I have a feeling any notes I might have jotted at 3 a.m. would be unreadable or make no sense now.
My theory is that dreams happen in a language so different from that of your conscious brain that it doesn't translate well and the memory fades far more quickly than memories of waking experiences.
