Emily Litella?

Bill, tgo

Never mind? What aren't we minding? That was what was funny about Emily, how much detail was presented before the "never mind". So....?

Cool...a wildcard thread 


We had a little wind storm the other day here in the NW,
power was out for about 25 hours.


  While napping I had a dream  I was sleeping during the outage...woke up..and the power was back 
Then I woke up for real...only to face 18 more hours of  the darkness.


Dreams within dreams are a trip.


I also had a dream I started a metal band named "Luffa" 


...Nevermind 

I tried to link to a shot I saved of a graphic; the link went somewhere else, so I gave up.

For the record, it was, top to bottom, a row of Marching Bears (Bear his own self insisted they are marching, and not dancing as most say), "Have a Jerry Christmas", a Stealie in a Santa hat, "And a Happy New Weir", and another row of bears.

And that's a big 10-4 on dreams-in-dreams, Elwood; I needed back surgery but had no insurance for 4 years, so I took a bunch of opioids so I could function.  A common thing was to dream that I woke up, looked at Her, and then spent a long time struggling to turn over to get up; I mean, I just could not get to the other side.  Just as I finally got there, I would wake up, look at Her, spend a long time.......rinse & repeat ad nauseum.

 Hehe...We are so smart we can fool ourselves 


May your tubes nicely glow,

I also experience the "dream within a dream" thing on the regular.
Sometimes it is rather unsettling... then it fades.

I don't sleep long enough to dream anymore... 2-3 hours at a stretch seems to be the ticket. There's a bottle of pills on the kitchen table that would fix that, but I'm afraid would present a new set of problems.


Here's my poison - popsicles. I discovered them after surgery. A very special friend brought them for my raw throat, but they I swear they are better than opioids. (and more addictive!) I could eat one of these and go back to sleep. Go figure. A little free advertising for Outshine... no idea if they are nationwide or just local/regional. Kroger carries them here in Virginia.

Best dreams I have are during what I call "Second Sleep".  I generally am wide awake at two am so will get up than and have some coffee and putz around.   After a couple of hours I'll sometimes go back to bed and fall asleep.  It's during this second sleep that I have some downright crazy, intense and vivid dreams. 

Wow and i thought i was alone having drems within dreams. No-one in my circle of friends Here experiences them. Glad to know im not the only one.

And don't forget to "swim" in the air.  Flying was a lifelong dream into my 40s, but somehow that one dropped away then.

My whole life I had total recall of my dreams; I could tell you now about ones I had when I was 5 (and that's more than a week ago now.....).  Then I started the above-referenced narcotic regimen, and for 4 years they got _really_ weird; the dream-in-a-dream ones were the tame end of the spectrum by far.  Got insurance, got the second surgery, stopped the pills - and now I can never remember them.
