I want to have some cool dreams.
The more I read Steven’s page, the more I wonder about my own dreams. He’s been posting these amazingly vivid dream stories lately, and it’s gotten me to thinking.
Why are mine so boring?
He’s got these weird pirate stories co-starring Eric Idle, deranged sea captains, 50-foot mutant sharks, bands that play inside whales and crazy stuff like that. What was my last dream?
That I was cutting my toenails.
Okay, what the hell’s that about? Is that the best my brain can come up with? Why not pirate stories? Or sex dreams? Or sexy pirate dreams? Hell, I’d settle for a dream where I was masturbating at this point. Now, in my brain’s defense, the toenail-cutting dream did have one bit of weirdness. The toe next to my big toe (is that the index toe?) had a nail that was larger than my big toe, and while I was trying to clip it, it fell out. It wasn’t painful or anything, but it did make a fairly disturbing sound – but still, not A-list dream material.
Maybe I’m eating the wrong foods, or not drinking enough, or not going to sleep at the right time. I’m really not sure. I’ve had cool dreams before, so I know my brain’s capable of them. It just seems to be stuck on a boring channel.
Suggestions?
Please…..?
