"Whoa."

Well, I didn't have that nightmare before... But I think I will now.

I'm not sure if I give too much credence to dream interpretation but I read that it could mean you fear something in your life "crashing down".

Are you overwhelmed at the moment? Maybe a number of events or pending events you're balancing at the moment?

That could be it. I'll have to monitor what's going on IRL when I have the dream. I haven't done that to date.>> ^blankfist:

I tend to have weird anxiety dreams when I have a lot of plates in the air. Each spinning plate doesn't have to be a groundbreaking occurrence either; just has to be something preoccupying. Work. The little lady is flying out of town. Projects. Deadlines. Money. Debt. Scheduling.

When I was in college I would tape a piece of paper on the wall by my bed and write everything and anything I had to do. Somehow having it there I felt like it was off my mind momentarily, and that I wouldn't forget so I was okay to sleep comfortably at night. Once you move in with someone, she doesn't want you funkin' up the walls with your ghetto to-do lists.

Ever have those times when your mind starts racing while in bed, so you cannot sleep, then you check the clock and see it's already 4 in the morning and you have to be up in a few hours so you start getting more stressed and eventually you have to go to @rottenseed's house to rub one out in his mom so you can calm yourself again and get some shut eye for work?

I have dreams where I am sucking off a group of spider monkeys, but when I wake up it's only my dad.

I get the same "waves" nightmares. Large waves breaking over the boardwalk and up the streets and pulling me in. Pretty weird.

This is coming up soon in my Netflix queue, so I'm going to avoid the spoilers for now.

@dystopianfuturetoday, I just watched it tonight with a good friend who had never seen it, and he thought it was a bit better than okay. I'd say he gave it a fair and strong good. I thought it was great, but there are certainly things about it that now stand out as diminishing.

You're gonna love the Kubrick-esque ostentatious music cues! So awesome! You'll know them when they happen.

I thought it was a very solid movie. I think it helped that I knew nothing about it. I thought it was going to be a supernatural Ring-esque type movie. I was very happy that it wasn't.

I love being surprised by movies. Trailers often ruin it for me. My all-time best surprise was The Matrix. Not having a TV at the time, I had seen no trailers and thought it was going to be a lame kung-fu move with Keanu Reeves. Best surprise ever.

Sixth Sense was also a great sucker punch of a surprise that I completely fell for.

With that in mind- I'm trying to stay away from buzz on this movie as it looks like it could be very interesting/surprising - like the Matrix.

@blankfist, Netflix predicts 3 stars from me, so my expectations have been appropriately calibrated. I'm guessing I'll like it more than that, because I have a soft spot in my heart for post-apocalyptica, and like a lot of the same things that you and dag like.

@dystopianfuturetoday, well, there's no avoiding Cage's ridiculous hair piece. Hope that doesn't detract too much from the overall experience. Also the kids do a fair bit of mediocre acting throughout. Let me know when you've watched it. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Were you a fan of the Crow and Dark City? I loved both of them.

Dark City was fantastic. Proyas is a talented story teller- I'll go see anything with his name on it.>> ^blankfist:

I saw Dark City mentioned in the appreciated comments and had to come running in, that's one of my all time favorites.

It was on my second viewing I realized there was something different about the movie.. something that drove the intensity in even the calmest of scenes. It's the camera cutting within 5 second throughout nearly the entire movie (backed by the relentless thumping soundtrack).

I liked Dark City, but haven't seen The Crow. I'll add that to the list.

Issy and I are just finishing up season 5 of 'Weeds', which we are totally loving. 'High'ly recommended.

I just finished season 2 of Breaking Bad. I'm now working through Season 3 of Peep Show on Hulu which is hilarious.

Fucking collectivists - flying in a plane, all together, at the same time.

Got what they deserved....

(actually, that's one of the scenes that I stepped through a few times in slo-mo - sorry to hear about the bad dreams, hombre - now tell us about your father....)

..."weird"....

There's that word again.

Wow, the Weeds season finale ended with quite the shocker.

that is a hardcore plane crash scene. wow. hope the dream turns out to mean nothing at all in the end.

I asked my friend, Dr. Freud, who said that the jet plane is obviously phallic, a symbolic for the impending crash of your sexual function as you creep into your forties. The deluge of jet fuel is seemingly your last act of fertility.

I don't dream. It's weird. Sometimes I'll awaken with bits and pieces here and there, but I never, ever remember what I dreamed.

Back when I was a raging alcoholic, I could only dream if I fell asleep drunk. Now, nothing.
