What does this MEAN??

I've been having VERY vivid dreams lately! It's kind of exciting. Last night I dreamt that I was falling to my death......and it felt more real than me sitting here typing on my laptop. I was in my car turning left to get on the 54E (down by my house in sd) when suddenly there was NO freeway and I drove OFF A MOUNTAIN into a black hole. I swear to god my heart almost choked me and I was gonna pee my pants, it felt like I was going straight down to hell. In my head I was thinking, oh my god this is it huh, I'm dying....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Then the first person that popped into my head was my mom and I said to myself, well mom...I know I never say it but I hope you know that I love you. I was plunging down for a good 5-10sec when in my dream I realized, wait am I dreaming? Why haven't I hit the ground yet? I can't be dying! And my AHHHHHHHHH turned into a WAAAAHHHHHOOOOOOO!!! And I woke up in the middle of night disoriented, and mad at myself for waking up. Lucid dreams are so CRAZY!

I like to think that dreams mean so much more about our psyche than what science tells us (you know, like how I think that astrology can tell you more about a person than we like to acknowledge). So this is how I'm going to interpret the meaning of this dream:

Life can take some unexpected twists and turns and drops when you least expect it but what are you gonna do about it? Are you gonna let your fear (of failure, of the unknown, of defeat) determine how you think and act? NO WAY! There's no growth in that. Ride those turns and SCREEEEEEEEEAM your head off in anger, in confusion, then in JOY and EXCITEMENT for what's coming around the corner.....or at the end of the black hole. Take those opportunities to CHALLENGE YOURSELF (emotionally, mentally, physically, whatever). It makes life so much more exciting!

Angeloooo

I freakin love this kid to death:
..because he does funny things like falls asleep on the toilet when he's going #2! :)

coughcough....excuse me

Sometimes I get into these slumps where all I want to do is sleep and sleep and sleep forever so I could live in my dreams.

Speaking of, watch this movie:
Michel Gondry is fucking amazing. If you know me, you know that I know NOTHING about movies because I have ADD and can't stand staring in front of a screen for long periods of time (if you know me, you also know that this is the reason why I usually have my laptop with me when I watch tv so I could research random thoughts as my mind wanders frequently). Anyway, if you don't know him he also directed Human Nature and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 2 other amazing movies...and he also directed a ton of awesome music videos (for example, Knives Out by Radiohead)

I don't remember why I started this post,

but anyway,

I heard this song on the radio today and my whole body was instantly brought back to the magic! Funny how things that engage the senses (art, music, smell, food) can have such a strong connection to memory, eh? (<-- a thought which I'd like to interrogate further, but now I'm lazy, so I leave you with pics...)
