I Feel The Need… The News has Jumped the Shark
Feb 25

You will probably be delighted to know after yesterday’s mammoth post this is going to be short.

Apart from last night when I couldn’t sleep and spent a lot of the night watching Sarah Connor Chronicles (a tasty bit of violence was what I needed after the post) I have been having the same dream on repeat for a while now.

I am standing in a garden surrounded by Chinese lanterns and white fairy lights in full trees creating a border of kinds. The air is warm and fragranced with flowers I don’t know the name of. A party is in full swing and important people from my past, present and a few I don’t recognise (my future?) are there all talking and laughing while well dressed waiters walk between freshening glasses and offering tiny canapes. There is a small jazz band in the corner playing mellow standards and the mood is light.

I wonder around not being ignored, but apparently unseen.

I hear a noise from beyond the trees and put my glass down to investigate. As I reach the edge, about to step through to the other side. I look back and see one of my friends trying to stop me. She races towards me but I step through.

On the other side I see the world burning. Buildings are falling and explosions are going off left and right. I see the faces of the people I know twisted in pain and terror, screaming and I step forward to help but am pulled back into the trees.

As I land back on the other side I see my friend sitting on the ground beside me. She is shaking her head telling me to stop. then she rises and goes back to the party. I glance up and it is like nothing has happened. I turn back to the trees and hear the sounds of destruction but don’t move.

    kapgar - Yeah, I was thinking that. Maybe I’ll go back to watching High School Musical…

    Miss Britt - ‘m beginning to realise that… I think I’ll just watch the screensaver to make my eyes tired!

    Avitable - Yeah… I never said my dreams were ‘original’ - they tend to be movie/tv based… Although I am having trouble remembering the last time I saw T2…

    Wow, that would freak me the hell out. i always fear that dreams MEAN SOMETHING.

    I hope yours means you are soon going to watch “Curse of the Golden Flower” followed by “Armageddon.” Only that, and nothing more.

    SJ - Freaked me out? Oh hell yes. Dreams based on movies always mess with my head because of the hyper realism thing. Haven’t seen ‘Curse’ yet… is it good?
