A few nights ago I dreamed that I was onstage singing "Mack the Knife!" It was wonderful! I sang the entire song, and I remember during this performance, I was surprised and impressed with myself for knowing all the words!
I was wearing the cutest little khaki colored suit , very "au current," I must say. Not sure how to spell au current, but I think that's right.
Here's what my suit looked like.
Wish I had a film of ME singing "Mack the Knife," but I don't!
So, here's that famous guy himself, Bobby Darin!
So, what did you dream last night?
The Great Bobby Darin! Thanks for the song, and the dream. I didn't dream anything last night, but the night before, I dreamed I was riding a brown horse in some woods. I saw a black bear and a beautiful gray wolf. Then suddenly there appeared two un-beautiful wolves, all mangy and hungry-looking, who started nipping at my horse. I kept shooing them and warping at them with a plastic bag full of some soft material, which was the only thing I had handy. The horse wouldn't run, and the wolves kept nipping at him. When I realized that if they got the horse, they might start nipping at me, I woke up.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. For the last month, I've kept a "tape recorder" (okay, it doesn't have tape but it does record) next to my bed, so that I could document my dreams as soon as I wake up. Most of them are just scraps - not many clear plots. In one dream, I came across a poster for a movie called Jawinger. The movie was about a tough cop (Jawinger) with a big jaw. In the poster, an actor who looked a bit like Mark-Paul Gosselaar is standing in front of a burning police station, sticking his jaw out and trying to look tough.
ReplyDeleteJoanne and JD - Thanks for sharing those intriguing (sp?) dreams! I think "the horse you rode in on" is pretty unusual. I can't remember ever dreaming about riding on a horse! And, Jed, the Jawringer movie sounds hilarious! A tough cop with a big jaw!
ReplyDeleteIt's odd about my dreams, in that the ones I remember almost always involve going somewhere. Walking across a sandy desert place, or through woods in France. Driving in the dark with no lights. Running to catch a bus. Riding a horse.
ReplyDeleteI dream of driving almost every night, usually in places I recognize from previous dreams but not from everyday life.
ReplyDeleteI've had a few dreams where I was riding a motorcycle. But my most common mode of transportation in dreams is flying.
ReplyDeleteI don't often find jokes in my dreams, but I was laughing about Jawringer for days after. The best part was the look in the actor's eyes. He was clearly thinking, "Am I making a huge career mistake?"
I LOVE flying in my dreams. It's the most delightful feeling in the world. I always start out a little timid, like floating in a swimming pool without getting wet. Then I find I can sail through the air. I'm often out in my yard, and worry about what if the neighbors see me flying around!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever dreamed of flying. Once I dreamed a cliff edge was crumbling under me, and I thought, I can just float up to solid ground. But I knew that was impossible in reality, so I woke up.
