we did the monster truck intro we we did that forever after that. Yeah,
we can't. We can't give that up, Sorry everybody. We're also
going to talk about the psychology involved different than the science psychology obviously being a
science, but we're going to delve into what some of the heavy hitters in
the old Psychology Department song someone go down to the dock the wharf bar and
collect drunk ass Captain Carl because you know, he showed the fuck up,
but you know what, finally like he's qualified to show up. This is
like the one time he didn't stick his head in through the window. Go
y'all talking about parts to which the answer is always yes, yeah, Oh
we do have a carrot. We do have a carrot in this episode.
What is that carrot? Our innermost thoughts? We've been keeping a dream journal,
that's right, We're gonna throw in a dream journal there towards the end.
We also have some explanations on what dreams might actually be, and we're
gonna dissect what what is going on in the middle of our cabases and um,
we're gonna throw out some common dreams and dream inferior lingual cortex su gyrus
inferior lingual gyrus located in the frontal cortex. Yeah right, Um, I'm
gonna tell you spoilers my dream journal. It's just all of you, all
of the ladies, that's right, all the ladies and Peyton Bob. I
mean, I mean, I have to have somebody to high five, right,
right, that's a good call. Mine is just beating the hell out
of Greg Bach. Dude. If you can get through that beard, good
on you. But that's the thing. Yeah, I can't. I never
can get through that any a helmet, a pick axe and a sack lunch
because you're gonna be at it for a while. Uh yeah, I've got
a I've got a book on dreams. Uh, ten thousand dreams interpreted.
Oh, we're gonna crack into that and see what they think. Oh,
oh, you think you're a dream weaver, like a spider spider weaving silk
sol can dreams in there, oh silk road. Oh hey, how are
you doing? I want to trade something with you? Oh you want to
trade dreams? WHOA, he's robbing way is a genius. I'm an If
you couldn't clearly define that difference all both you're a geniassul, i'm an ass
neis anyway, let's get started with a lightning round. I'll tell you straight
up, I don't have I don't have many creatures, but we're gonna blast
through the ones. I do have lightning round style lightning sound and now a
sound of the lightning round. It sounds a little something like this, number
one mayor. This is a creature of Germanic and Scandinavian folklore which that m
a r e. Oh okay uma horse well oh i oh oh, I
just got it. Wait for it. Okay, okay, I mean there's
a lot of etymology through it which I will not take you through. You
can, you're you're don't make me go go by myself? You can?
You can do it, you can do it. I'm taking the training whils
off, a creature of Germanic and Scandinavian folklore which calls bad dreams whilst sitting
on a person's chest during sleep. Oh okay qua como. Mayors also rode
horses and apparently gotten trees and things ended up tangled after contact, such as
branches and hair. Wow. Another assorted waking as well as the sleeping.
Yeah wow, it gets how predictably German Actually, If you'd like to hear
it. I've got a German charm prayer for it. I'll allow it.
Okay, I'll tell you nonbelievers out there, this is straight from Wikipedia.
Hold on, hold on, um, if you ever speak about nonbelievers,
I'm gonna have to hear that in a wrestler voice. I'll tell all you
nonbelievers out there. Yeah, uh, this is straight from the Wikipedia page.
Ye. If that's not your bag, then golf you can all just
cry it off. Brother, this is your golf morning, all right.
This is uh this, this is a German charm prayer to guard against mayors.
Here lege mischoffen kind of knocked me soul mcplagan busy schwimmen alavas de alf
erden fleesen untellt alshtana d I'm firmament erschinen. Wait my turn, I have
to I have to try that. Yeah right, okay, who wore it
better? Gorden tag Hey leggish mission. Well that's it, that's over,
hey, legislaff and can I knocked marson mcclugin miss ishwarmin ali vasa die off
ardin flibin untealastana die on ferminment air shine and what that means is that if
we roll this podcast, it's on us here. I am lying down to
sleep. No nightmare shall plague me until they have swum through all the water
that flow up on the earth, and count it all stars that appear in
the skies that'll keep them busy. These are also known as alps Alp alp
huh. It's a it's sort of another brand of of chocolate here. It's
not unlike an evil elf, which wears a magical hat called a tarn kaba
huh, which roughly translates as camouflage cap. Well, I mean he's got
he's got one up on the red caps. He's gonna get a lot closer
before it's too late. It's true. M These caps granted invisibility and shape
shifting, among other things. Sweet and what Alps did that put him on
the map. They drank blood from male nipples, but they preferred women's breast
milk. So wait, I preregret asking for clarification on this. So you
line up a topless woman and a topless man, they're gonna go for the
breast milk first, yes, And if that's not on offer, they're gonna
go from the breast blood from a dude, from a deard, I mean,
thank god, because they're not getting milk from a dude. So,
I mean, I don't know, I gotta get something. Bro, what
a weird thing that I'm gonna I'm gonna put that in the top five weirdest
things I've heard on this while we've done this podcast. Oh okay, good,
that's why I put it in here. Got another poem? You want
to read it? Is it in German? No? Yeah, no you
don't. This is a this is a Shetland poem. Yeah, it's a
phonetic fairy tale. Sure, Demona micked he rowed a nicht. We never
sweard no faird nor licked. He sucked a mayor, he found a mare
he bonda mare with his on hair and made her swear by mutters micked that
show would never made a nicht what he had rowed dot mon amicked. Yeah.
That that that's that's from a part of it made sense. I don't
know, like that was like listening to a drunk at a bar. Oh
yeah, well, I mean it's a it's a Shetland poem. I think
from a Shetland fairy tale. Maybe something tolls, That's what you're good at
anyways. That's you barely literate bastards. That's mayor. Yeah, lightning round
is going great, so wow, it's like a continuous thunder store. Okay,
all right. Number two Baku. A baku is a generally beneficial Japanese
creature which has the ability to eat nightmares and or evil spirits. Yeah,
keep the baku around. Sure, if you can realize that you're in a
bad dream, you can call upon the baku to come and eat it and
poop out. Good luck. Sweet Yeah, I'll line up to that diaper.
They originated as a Chinese folklore creature with mixed animal parts, commonly including
some combination of elephant, lion, horse, ox, and tiger. Like
a little bit of half a lumps of woozel in there. Yeah, I
mean it was like tail of ox, legs of tiger, body of lion,
you know, stuff like that kind of thing. But that's the baku.
Love it. Number three Incubus oh id and succubus. Oh I've slept
with this. An incubus is a male demon that seduces women in their sleep
guilty as jack and a succubus is a female demon that seduces men in their
sleep. Damn suckerbus socker bus about three. For more about that joke,
see South Park. These things are pretty common, especially in the old gaming
world, the fantasy stuff along the lines of your Castlevania's your Diablos. When
you gotta have a bad guy and that bad guy's gotta wear a thong.
You got yourself a suckerbus. Here you go, sucking us a socerbus,
Damn lognus master And sometimes like I want my bedroom with renaissances and snackam I
wait for that suckerbus. Um. That's called a Louisiana staycation. Sometimes we
don't come out till eleven o'clock and I'm one on you. Oh uh,
here's the weird thing about psychopascibus. Could be the same demon, just changing
gender. You know, as long as everything matches up while they're with me,
I don't care. I'm why well number one, they can enter homes
uninvited, perfect so do I Uh? They shape shift, they change into
a male if it's if if they're seducing females and vice versa, it's consistent
they and they have repeat victims. They'll keep coming back to you night after
night. That sounds like the most stable relationship I could ask for that,
yep. And and the thing is they it seems like a dream when they
come and and victimize you. That's perfect, okay. They drain energy from
victims. What was I doing with it? Nothing up to including death.
There's there's worse ways. Ago, Yeah, that's I'll take it. Um,
here's the deal. Cold genitals, very cold. Uh how cold ice
cave. I'm still okay with it. Okay, Well through what they I
have been to Antarctica, I'm okay with it. Sometimes on those lonely nights,
I just dig out a hole snow bag. It's called snow coning.
And no I never did that. Thanks a lot Hawaiian shaved eyes. What
they do since it's one demon being male or female, Yeah, they'll they'll
change into a female, collect semen from a victim, then change into a
male, go to another victim and deposit said semen. I'm on the collecting
end of this deal. No, well no, yeah, well you oh
yeah, yeah, from yeah, that's fine. Sure they as in fayor
collecting, not you are collecting, right yeah, no, no, I
am the donor. Perfect Okay. Well, I gotta say there's aside from
some mild genital discomfort. I'm okay with this arrangement. Okay, okay.
If you want to defeat one, there's a few ways to do it.
Exorcism is one. Getting really clingy is one. Sacramental confession, showing up
where they work with flowers, the sign of the Cross, insisting you meet
their parents like in the first week. See, all these are like very
heavily Christianized ways to defeat them. Here's one. If you don't ascribe to
that, just move to another town, simple as that. That's it.
Wow, strikingly close to my theory of Also within the first two weeks,
scheduling a three day long weekend vacation that involves a plane ride. Yes,
a demon from another plane with the ability to shape shift and victimize people up
to and including death, but can't find you if you move one town over.
There's not allowed to use Google Maps. These things go back as far
as ancient Mesopotamia, and they were referred to in one form or another as
Leelu, which was the male version, not the multi pass version, and
Lily two, which was the female version. Huge in the Middle Ages.
This is where you get a lot of this extra system concentratorship for sure,
and and uh the Middle Ages and stuff. That's where people were scared to
anything. Yeah, right, quick question, Okay, hate to harp on
it. The genitals couldn't be that cold because there's a repeat business. They
keep coming back. I don't know, I don't what I mean. I'm
just saying, sounds pretty great, sounds like it sounds like a winning deal.
There's a tail. I mean, I guess you could look past that.
There's a tail. You didn't mention that. I mean, yeah,
yeah, the girls have like the little fork tails and the and wings and
horns and still cool with it. Yeah, I mean there are worse things.
Yeah, that's uh, that's you give us secupist number four. Morpheus
just showing up offering your pills. What if I told you, Yeah,
it's pretty good, Larry Fishburn, Oh thanks, that's all I go through.
Uh. The Morpheus was the god of dreams in Roman mythology. He
was the son of Psalmness, which might sound familiar if you're talking about dream
stuff in Latin, right, right, Um, that's that's really all there
is to him. He you know, he could shape shift, I think,
visit people in the dreams. In La La la la or cool there's
more, tie, there's more, but Morpheus is fun to include. I
could throw in one more. In fact, let's just do it for shiggles.
Come on, what are we We're gonna short change our listeners? Hell
no, give him the full thing. Bring it. Remember number five.
Freddy Krueger, Oh yeah he is. He is a Yeah, he's coming
after your dreams. That's I mean, obviously, yeah, a very wonderful
fictional character. But great number one. Yeah, I mean, and who
is to argue that he's fictional? And I'll tell you why. I would
guarantee that fred Freddy Krueger has shown up in the nightmare of a person.
Sure, they went and saw the movie, they had the nightmare, and
so now Freddy Kruger is something that shows up in a dream. Wait,
life imitates art, Yeah, where they art kind of? Yeah, they're
pretty good. They define a horror. Yeah, it's an iconic figure.
And not to mention like that that kind of horror, but I mean,
Freddy Kruger made like puns and jokes and stuff about how I killed people.
Yeah, he was a prey. He was a sixth son of a bitch,
and I loved him anyway. That's your lightning round. That was the
longest lightning round we've ever had. It is true, that is very true.
I'm sorry, Secker basements might be some mild flooding if you got to
roll at the window of your car. Sorry, sorry, I might have
to call in some tree trim and CRUs Yeah. Let's move on. Talk
a little of the psychology. Yeah, that has gone into dreams. Dreams,
Thanks Paul Freud and Young. Oh, the pillars of dream times the
match of the century. Uh. Tons of thought has been done about dreams.
But Freud and Jung put this in lights. Yep, they made it
fame the famous I'm young, I'm young, and dreams. Freud wrote the
Interpretation of dreams in eighteen ninety nine, and his thinking was that dreams brought
out the primitive and regressive tendencies which were latent in people. Yeah, or
as he using the the repressed right, Yeah, dreams released repressed desires,
especially sexual and violent. Yep, what's the death right? Moving on?
When people when people tried to remember dreams, he said, they tend to
rationalize and smooth out the weird stuff in what he called secondary revision. Oh,
Yeah, that's a very interesting concept. I think we even mentioned that
last the last part, where dreams maybe just this jumble of stuff people kind
of string the narrative to just string it together. Yeah. Yeah, so
that makes sense. You know, you know, you you know when when
when things get weird because everyone has had a weird dream where you're like,
oh, I don't tell anybody that happened. Yeah, and then if you
have like a B and C happening, well, if you have like a
L and T happy dream, then you're going to fill in, you know,
the rest of the alphabet around it, just best you can. Yeah.
So it's not just like so go ahead and write us in your weirdest
dreams, the ones that you tried to self edit because they disturbed even you,
or just the ones that that you tried to make sense of. Freud
Else said that dreams are like free association. You never know what you're gonna
get. Oh wait, no, sorry, yeah, like you know,
you know, free association where I say a word and you say the first
thing comes to mind yep, blah blah blah. You know, free association
isn't free. You need patriots to defend it. Anyways, that's a that's
a quick rundown of old Freud. Young, however, did not agree with
Freud's views. He thought dreams compensated for whatever was underrepresented in a person.
They bring the stuff that doesn't get much attention in a person or a person's
mind out to the forefront. M It also helps vent emotion and or stuff
that that could manifest in waking life that maybe you know, might might not
be the best thing to manifest, which which would kind of file under the
sort of the threat simulation theory. Oh, I see that it's allowing you
to run through these things that you can't safely run through on a day to
day basis, scratching that itch as it were. Yeah. Yeah, he
of course, being Captain Carl, he believed all dreams are part of one
great web of psychological factors. Wolf, Thanks, thanks for young ing all
over this, Carl, he was real stuck on this collective unconscious. Yeah.
He thought it was possible that people in dreams, people that show up
in your dreams could represent parts of the person dreaming. Okay, so so
you're you're anthropomorphizing a facet of your own psyche, Yeah, with with people
that you either knew or I just spent two hundred dollars on fancy words for
that sentence. Good. I think it pays dividends for him. Keep it
in your pocket and see if you can use it. Gets right, Yeah,
it doesn't. Just sit on that shelf and wash it off and use
it again. Archetypes of the collective unconscious are represented in dreams, Young thought,
of course, And when we when we do our gala Carl Young episode,
I'll tell you all about the archetypes and all that stuff, man,
collective unconscious synchronicity. Who Carl Young slipped with, Oh my god, I
what was he worried? Man? I can't wait to tamzy Carl Young.
That's Carl Young was getting out of a luxury automobile and we cut more than
he been. Carl crog By the end of his career, he guessed estimated
that he estimated he estimated that he had interpreted over eighty thousand dreams for people.
Wait, wait to go, Carl, maybe that's the next one we
should psychically dominated over two hundred and seventy six million ants. Prove me wrong,
Carl. Of course, there's there's a ton of psychology on dreams,
and you there's there's a lot of a gray area around the edges of this.
You get into um regression therapy, you know, there's there's some schools
of thought that hypnosis that you're you're accessing this same portion of the brain that
generates dreams, and so what you may be construing as a memory is in
fact a dream, whether it is a dream that you're you're bringing the memory
of or you're spontaneously generating one in this slightly altered state. I mean,
like, there's there's a lot of fuzzy areas in this, which is what
makes it fun to talk about. Sure, there's also the old the New
Age belief maybe new age but was it a belief or was it boo shit?
Uh? You you tell me. But there's also the thought that one
can train oneself to access the Akashic records, which are the the the repository
for all knowledge ever that has ever been, that it will ever be,
and you can visit this and use it, use these records to find out
answers to questions. This is something that Edgar Casey was able to do.
Who will talk about one of these days. He's been he's been on our
list since like season one. Yeah, I need Tom. I'm reading the
book right now, and I just don't want to do it before I'm finished
because I want, I want to know more. But Akashic records, um
boy, I do not have a library card for that. Well, according
to everybody who says there are Cashet records, you do. You just need
to train yourself to find it and then use it. Okay, I mean
I believe, I believe. Okay, huh. Ascended masters and all that
stuff probably plays into this a little bit, A lot a lot of season
three of Stargate SG one coming into play. I think there's also the whole
like put a book under your pillow and absorb the knowledge, also something Edgar
Casey was able to do. But Edgar Casey might have been a special flower,
so doesn't have to be under your pillow. I just close to you,
near your head. Maybe because I have at any given moment, like
I'm a big I love to read. I read a lot, and I
read before I go to bed. I have a stack of no less than
twelve books next to my bed just because like I finished a book and it
just goes there or or or I'll set a book there to read it and
not get around to it. I don't feel like I'm absorbing. Well maybe
then it's an your pillow. I think I've tried it before in it and
I just get pissed off because I'm like the princess and the pee when it
comes to anything under my pillow. Oh dainty, mister Flora, And how
there's nothing that can be under that I cannot feel. I swear, so
no more sleeping with a gun under your pillow. Had to stop that.
Years ago. I used to have a girlfriend who did that. She slept
with a loaded three fifty seven under her pillow. I was like, you're
gonna blow your brains out. That's how that story's gonna end. How weird
is that? I mean, I guess it happens, I just under your
pillow. Yeah, it's just not comfortable. I can feel like a fingernail
under my pillow. It's terrible. I just couldn't imagine a gun, right.
Guns make me nervous. I've handled a plenty of firearms in my day,
but like I have that like what I consider to be healthy fear of
them. Yeah, a healthy, respect respectful fear. Yeah, like I
wouldn't. I don't even want to. I wouldn't want a gun in my
my bedroom, let alone under my pillow. What the fuck? I don't
know how we got there. Moving on dreams, let's take let's take a
look at some explanations. Okaydoke classic explanation. And I say classic because it
goes back so far in time. Yeah, like we're talking like like Toga's
classic dreams deliver messages from spirits and or divinity. Then the divinity that I've
been trying to contact me is just crazy. This is I mean, we
we went over this in the last the last episode. People think that dreams
are just like little spirit colms to the afterlife or God yep, or whichever
god you wanted to be. But somebody somewhere is trying to tell you something.
Yeah, you need to you need to get that message, you need
to decode it, and you need to enact it in your life. Right.
Yeah, that's and that's that's not an uncommon thing. And I think
that I think a lot of people arrive at that without even um, you
know, without having read a book or had someone tell them that this is
the concept. I think I think that's that's that's not hard to be an
intrinsic quality of dreams. I think people can cobble that together pretty easily on
their own. Yeah, and a lot of I don't want to say wishful
thinking, but a lot of hope maybe goes into spirits of the dead or
recently diseased, it's deceased, recently deceased maybe contact people in their dreams to
most often let them know that they're fine and everything is okay. And I've
had a number of those dreams. You've had those dreams? Yeah, you
do you believe them? Do you do you believe that it's a spirit trying
to contact you or do you think it's your yourself trying to come to terms?
I don't know. I mean I always find them very comforting. Sure,
yeah, we're all sad. But if honestly, if I really honestly
had to call it, I would lean more towards the belief in them than
the than the like my own psychology trying to Yeah, if I was to
pick, if I was to pick which side of the fence, it's interesting.
Yeah, Um, same same spirit or person or different different different I've
I've had dreams about um, uh my grandfather, uh, my my mother's
dad, and I've had dreams about my own dad, who who died about
eight years ago, and so it's, uh, it's it's, it's it's
it's tough, like I actually one of them is in my dream journal.
Oh, I have one from my dad in there also. Yeah, was
he like, stop doing this show? Puts? Damn kids? What are
you? You think you're so funny? What do you swear words? And
you beep in the button? What you think you think beep in it makes
it cleans? People respect you. Everybody knows you filthy clean, your wracked
up. Yeah, I know my dad just the opposite. You know,
you kids could say a lot more. I think it'd be great. I
think I think that might be the way that he went on that one.
That's interesting. I don't think I've ever had a someone that's passed on visit
me in a dream. I remember I had one about my grandpa and I
went to In my dream, I went to this my uncle, which was
his brother, owns this ranch in Colorado. The reason my parents moved from
Michigan and Colorado because my uncle lived there and I was there and I was
just kind of walking along this creek and he was there. I was like,
holy crap, Grandpa, have you been here all along? It was
like this very thin allegory. And he's like he's like yeah. He's like,
I'm always here, you can always come see me. You just never
do you never make it over here? Classic yeah, And I was like,
oh my god, you're just this was easy he goes. He goes,
yeah, but he's like, you might not remember. It's it's it's
so simple that people don't do it very often. But it's really nice to
see you and this has been really great. So I hope, I hope
you find your way back to the ranch again. Now golf, I'm trying
to fish. Yeah, I get the hell out of here, Like,
wow, I got some girls meet me later. They're nice, Oh yeah,
we get them dreams going, yeah, you better get out of my
creek. But yeah, so so it was. It did have this very
thin allegory to like a an afterlife, like I'm always right here. It's
it's not hard to find me here, and you never think straight in dreams,
No, it doesn't. It gets very convoluted and you're always like afterwards,
you're like, well, I could have asked him, like, well,
how do I keep doing this right, what's you know, what what
do I need to do to connect more? Just just the mechanics of it,
Like you're always just like wow, legos right, and then you wake
up. And I think part of that though, is like dreams, like
they don't they not only inform you of the present. A dream will give
you an entire multi at least for me, multi year backstory. I'll have
memories in my dreams of oh, well, I remember last time I was
here in Lollipop Town. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, like it'll back the
world. Yeah, it'll backfill a history of that area. And I think
the thing that I remember about that dream with my grandpas that I it was
so simple. I was like, oh my god, this is how you
like. I didn't have to ask and I didn't have to have them repeat
it right because it was so patently obvious. Yeah, and then it was
gone. Yep. Yeah. Dreams are a real cool because, like the
whole context is there. Usually you know, you go into it, it
happens, you know everything what's going on and what you're doing. And yeah,
I mean for the most part, not neither. You know, you're
always going to get a weirdo dream jump in there. Sometimes, but anyways,
messages from spirits. Oh um, how about this, it's a glimpse
into another dimension or reality. I mean, okay, all right, let's
go with it. Here's here's what I read from that, and what I
actually think about sometimes and wonder about. And I don't know, dreams.
Are you going? You inhabiting the consciousness of yourself in another reality for the
briefest of times. And and maybe here's here's a little whip cream on the
sunday for you. Maybe that's when that person experiences deja vu. Oh well,
maybe not. I just it. I hope you like sweet things.
I hope you got it sweet too. What are you doing right now?
I don't know? Stop? Yeah, what about that though? Yeah?
What if it's actually stuff that is happening just in a different dimension, a
different reality. I like different reality. I don't like the phrase another dimension.
I think people throw that around when another dimension whenever people are like,
oh oh, I don't it's something different. We'll call it another dementia.
I don't think that quite. But an alternate reality there, I think is
much more accurate. Wow. Maybe maybe it's that that bridging. Maybe there's
that's the time that you you can, and you're fucking with their ship.
Right. There is that that whole popular multiverse theory that's that's popping up like
bubbles. If that's the case, there are two things that I dream about
consistently, on the order of at least once a week, zombies and Antarctica.
That means that the alternate realities that I'm tied to are locked permanently an
ice and under constant assault by the ravening hordes of the undead. Their worlds
are. But see for them when they dream, they get a nice,
stable reality, a sort of stable. They get a reality where you're not
constantly bombarded by zombie That's true. I've got a really nice sofa and a
great Internet connection, so we're doing all right. Although maybe they come in
and they just see like hordes of the Undead from you playing Diablo, oh
yeah, and they're like, nah, yeah the game to this man,
dog Yeah, I mean, it's it's fascinating to think about. No way
in hell to prove it. Oh man, you know what I'm looking forward
to is uh the listener mail on this episode, like we're gonna hear some
cool dreams, I think. So we're gonna hear some cool dreams. We're
gonna hear some Shannah, yeah, and what you think. We also want
to know what you what you think? You know, if you have some
cool theories of what this stuff could be. Oh man, it's gonna be
great cause spoiler alert if we haven't already, nobody knows what dreams are.
So we just got to rise now everyone's turned it off too bad two hours
into it. All right, here's another explanation. It's uh, and we
brought this up in the last part day residue. This is cobbling together all
the random memories that you have made during the day and basically sorting them out
in your brain. You're you're defragging the hard drive. I can see that
happening because I think everyone has uh. I keep accusing everyone of having the
same experience I do, but I can't imagine it's that weird. Like if
if you read a bunch of one you know, if you read a book
for like three hours before you go to bed, you're gonna dream about that
book. If you play a video game for an hour before you go to
bed, you're gonna have you know, like you can feel it while you're
doing you're gonna be watching like if you're binging a TV show, You're like,
oh man, this is in my head. This is the one and
only thing channel that my brain has dialed to right now. And now I'm
going to go to bed and it's gonna be that's what I'm dreaming about all
that. Yeah, well, let I'll let the old cat out of the
bag. Finally, God, I hate the cinema. Bitch Cat's been in
the bag for like a week. Dude. Oh that's not funny. We're
kitty. Uh. This this is my this is my horse. This is
the one that I'm betting my money up. Okay, all right, and
I'll tell you why when we get to our dream journal part. Because just
about everything came from my life, my recent life, like that day.
Yeah, it makes sense as much as it can just trying to. I
mean, obviously we don't know why the brain has to to go in,
you know and sort what has happened or whatever. But it's obvious that that
some dreams are pulled directly from experiences and stuff. So that's that's an interesting
one. Now, this this leads into another explanation that the random synapse firing.
This is the theory that that dreams are nothing, that that it's just
images, that your brain's just the whole time, how's my brain? Well,
when you're asleep, it's all okay, perfect Stage five, Stage four,
Stage stage three, Wow, Wow, Stage two. I mean,
what what do you think of this one? Just I'll tell you what I
mean, Like I I this is the one I most want to believe that
it's just random town and you know, your brain just kind of you try
to put together a story at the end of the day. But I've,
I mean, I've had the experiences I've I've I wrote a Second City sketch
that that got put up. I got I wrote a sketch in a dream
that I woke up and like I like jumped out of bed, was like
I can't lose this, and I scribbled it onto paper and it got put
up on stage. Like i've, I've, I've done things, I've worked
through ideas. I've I've written jokes or things like that that when I woke
up, they were they were there, they were exactly how I remembered.
I even had like a tune in my head. I've and it's very rare
that doesn't happen all the time, but I've had that happen. I mean
talking in your sleep. Oh yeah, you know. I used to do
that all the time. I thought that I did it a lot. And
for about the last month, I've been recording me myself while I sleep.
No, no, no, I got wed. I've been worried about.
I got really freaked out that I had sleep apnea because my my dad had
it and my uncle has it. And and so I downloaded an app from
my phone that called snore Lab that literally records me yep, uh it uh.
It records me while I sleep, and then it kind of I can
the next morning, like it shows me a little like wave for him,
and it can it'll say, oh, yeah, you spiked here, and
then I can listen to it. It'll play back or recording of me sleeping.
And I keep expecting to see it like a spike and be like no,
no more popcorn, you know, But it's never happened, so I
don't. I don't. It's it's kind of a weird thing. I used
to do a lot a lot more in my youth. Um and and it's
just stopped for a while. So if you listen to uh, the Harmontown
podcast Dan Harmon, who's the creator of community. He is awful, Like
he's I mean, like I think he's got a borderline sleep disorder because he
talks in his sleep so much. And his girlfriend now fiance, will record
him sometimes and and he just like like she likes to watch chick flicks and
he'll and so they'll watch him in bed and he'll fall asleep and he'll pop
up with no memory, like he's asleep and and just cut the movie to
ribbons, just hate it. It'll just like pop up and be like,
oh no, she probably has to go talk to her best friend and that's
gonna like solve all her problems and go right back to sleep again. I
mean, maybe that's a different thing. It's not quite the same as you
know, but I'm the moral of the story is I I want to believe
that it's completely random, but I just don't think it is. I don't
think that's quite how it works. Yeah. Yeah, the last one I've
got here. This is again sort of interconnected to what we just said.
Your brain trying to make sense of stimuli that it has received from the day.
It's trying to either form or delete pathways that it has made in the
brain. I think what I what I read was it was trying to get
rid of the stuff that it thought wasn't necessary, or the memories it made
that won't help in the future, and trying to strengthen the ones that it
thinks maybe will. And this is a very evolution based That's crazy, though,
because how is the brain making that decision? How does the mind know
what the useful data is? Yeah, I mean that would play into the
old instinct concept. Yeah, but again, what is instinct? Oh?
What controls instinct? Who watches the Watchman? Yeah? Crazy town? I
got nothing there. That's that's We're we're way out there right now. We're
just afloat in the sea of who the knows. The great thing about this
is we start at way the fun out there and we end at way the
out there, way out there. It's it's very cool. Let's let's keep
trucking though, Okay, all right, let's keep paddling and let's get into
let's let's climb in our nuggins. Okay, right now, it's time to
do this, time to do this time for a lot of honesty with you,
our listeners. Now we kept journals when we decided to do the show.
Because you can hear the paper, we kept journals for about a week
or so. Yeah, I want to point out something that, just like
the podcast, my notes are like little bullet point sentences, and Flora has
just has like page after page this is He's way better at this than me.
When I when I started to here's the thing with with this dream journal.
I tried to write as soon as I could after I get up,
after I got up in the morning, and in some cases I didn't.
I was like, Okay, I've I've got to start my day. I've
got to do these you know, X y Z. And then I was
coming back later to it. So that whole rule of you know, five
minutes after you wake up, ten minutes after you wake up. Yeah,
I also had a really problem with that. Um. I think we mentioned
that I had to I had to skip down all of a sudden and help
my friend of mine out. Um. And it wasn't wasn't anything terrible.
I just had to help him take care of his kids. He had had
surgery, his wife had to leave town for ten days, and it was
two year old and a ten month old, and I had to you know,
change some diapers and run around with some kids and I had to life
and uh that was while we were doing this, I had the same problem
because you know, I wake up when the kids up. Yeah, and
so in the first you know, I can't be like, hold on a
sec, I need to journal, you know, you know, I gotta
get the kids up. You gotta take down to the kitchen, get him
in the high chairs, get all that, like, get get breakfast moving,
and then you can like sit down. So I had the same exact
thing where I was. I definitely was exceeding that ten minute barrier. But
here's the thing. When I started writing it down, everything flooded back.
Yeah that's saying yea once it's for me. Like I would sit there and
I couldn't remember anything, and then I would remember one detail and boom and
I had it all back to it. And then like after you're done,
you're like, oh but wait, this happened too, and like, I
don't know if we have time to go through every single I mean, what
I ended up doing was was writing like this fucking Hemmingway esque like stream of
conscience in this bullshit that I don't know. It's it's more like writing writing
as opposed to like, here's a memory, here's a memory. So I
don't know if I'll read all of mine, but I will definitely pick out
some of the highlights of the dreams. Who starts, Well, how about
you start? We've just been talking about how it's gonna go, so let's
hear it. God, Okay, Friday night, I was on a bus
in a strange town. And by strange, I mean it was unknown or
new to me, going to a place or event that I hadn't been to
before. I think I was dressed in ubs gear maybe, and some of
the other people on the bus were two. I heard some old ladies behind
me snicker and talk about how I had no shoes on, even though I
did those lying pitches. At one point, the bus stopped and one old
lady did something. I don't know if if she insulted me or just got
off the bus or something happened, but I please tell me a punch an
old lady in the dream, I took her seat, yeah, sat down
where she had had been sitting. Uh. And then I hear hear the
old ladies in the back say, poor thing, he doesn't even have shoes
on. And I turned and I had to laugh at their ridiculousness, and
I said, yes, I do have shoes on, and then we all
shared a good laugh. Wow. Keep going. This is maybe related to
the context of that one, but I was. I was in a strange
town, and I get the feeling it was like Arizona or New Mexico or
something like that. Um. I was walking along the street that had different
shops along it, like antique shops or like candy shops, stuff like that.
I think I see Willie Nelson crossing the street, Like across the way.
I go into an antique shop which also has a case for ice cream
that you could get by the scoop in it. The owner was real surly,
almost like a Danny Treho kind of character. Wow, would you buy
ice cream from Danny Treho? He told me to leave because apparently for some
reason he didn't like to look at me. He wanted me, he didn't
want me in there. So jet day doesn't set ice cream? You get
out of here, dicker Willie Nelson friend with you? Why? Was like
asking? There? Uh. I walked down a little bit more and I
went into an identical shop. It was like basically the exact same shop.
Uh, and same go guy was in there, and and then I kind
of like hunkered down tried not to be seen, hiding from day trade.
This is all the same night. That was. That was one night.
Yeah, I've I've got a little bit more, but um, what do
you have? It's not it's not necessarily it's cool. Uh, let's see.
I started mine the next night, so you're one up on me.
Okay. I had several dreams in one night. This is I think the
only night that I had multiple dreams. Okay. Um. The first dream
I was, I was gas harvesting in deep space. I was on a
very small spaceship and we were harvesting fuel, but the majority of the fuel
was locked in dark matter and we couldn't really detect it. So it was
like I remember someone saying in the dream, it's like crabbing, but in
space you just gotta put the collectors out there and hope you're on the fuel
trawl in space. But it was like a really sad dream because we realized
that we weren't getting fuel at a fast enough rate, and we were so
far from Earth that it was too late, Like we were we couldn't Yeah,
we couldn't bring fuel back to save Earth and time. Like it was
we were just too late. We couldn't get the job done. And so
there was like this kind of like do we just I mean, we can
probably collect enough fuel to keep the ship running, but like what's the point.
So it was like this kind of really sad, melancholy, existential what
the hell are we doing? Dream? Wow? Um. Then the next
one, I was, Um, I was on an improv team, but
that was like also shooting like a TV show, and so we were running
all around the streets of Chicago being wacky and I was talking like Craig Greg
Proops from Whose Lines And I kept doing a weird pony riding walk which you
could only do in a dream where I was just like skipping on my toes
as though I was riding a pony down this yeah kind of but just like
on my toes, just doing you're doing. And I was just like cruising
down the street doing this, and I was like, oh, this is
going to freak everybody out because I could do this. Um. There was
two redheaded female comedians in the improv group and they were like constantly fighting over
who the sassy redhead was, and we kept going, guys, guys,
could you just just not right now? Can you just focus on what we're
doing? And they were like just at each other the whole time. At
one point from talking like Greg proops too much, I lost my voice as
you skipped down the street. Yeah, and I have this doing my weird
pony riding walk. That's what I have written here. Then there was like
a couple of really quick one one more that night I had. I was
living in a house full of roommates and I was really like happy with my
room, Like my room was awesome. I had it all tricked out in
My roommates were all jealous how cool my room was. And so I go
into my room and then it's all like kind of weird, and like when
I first walked in, I recognized it, but the more I looked around,
the less I did. And then I realized, oh, this isn't
even my house, I mean a stranger's house. And I was like,
oh, but it's like eleven o'clock. Everyone's home in like kind of a
sleep. So that I had to sneak out of the house because I was
like, well, I'm not here to do anything. I just was in
the wrong house and it'll freak him out if they find me. So I've
got to like sneak out of the house. And then, throughout that last
dream and even to the moment I woke up, I had the song A
Strange Arrangement by Mayor Hawthorne going through my head and it was stuck in my
head for the rest of the day. Wow, yeah, go ahead,
look it up. It's on iTunes. This a great song. Back to
you, Back to you, Flora. I'll tell you about about that series
of dreams. For me. I can tell you that I took the bus.
I don't normally take the bus. I usually take the train in the
city. I'm the same way, but I took the bus the day before
and there were a lot of old people and disabled people in the bus.
I had seen it well, I mean, cubs stuff is everywhere here,
but like in my house there was a cub's hat on a stand I remember
seeing. I did have ice cream at home, so that was I feel.
Girlfriend does not look like Danny Trejo at all. No think gold,
but she does go by the name Machete, so I guess that's where that
came from. Excuse man, this is this is my favorite one. I
had a one series. I dream multiple ones, but I usually could only
remember the ones that I had just before I got up for the day,
which is I think generally the case for most people. But a series that
I remember most was about being in a game where there were two teams,
but the teams were comprised of people I knew in real life and fictional characters,
mostly from Game of Thrones. The teams were vying to overtake each other,
and it was it was like a small war that the general feeling was
killed or be killed, and it was literally like you got killed, you
got killed. Yeah, but it was also a game anyway. I didn't
recognize the setting of it. It was it was kind of like a building
with just a ton of different areas and like long hauls, medieval and modern
mix stairs and just all kinds of places. I had a long sword with
me nice actually it was. It's the one that I have hanging on my
wall in there. And here are the scenes that I remember. A teammate
and I came upon an open area just this. I mean, it wasn't
huge, but it was like an open place inside the building, grass stuff
like that where some foes were there, along with two wolves. We dispatched
the foes and my teammates said to not bother the wolves. They'd fight for
us. And that's when I realized it was a Stark boy from from the
Game of Thrones. It was either Rob Stark or John Snow you know something
like that. Did he appear to know anything that might might narrow it down?
That's when I was like, you know nothing, so Rner nor but
the wolves did. We didn't fight the wolves and they joined us and started
fighting for us. Way to go wolves. Uh. Then I then another
scene. I was sneaking around a warehouse type area trying to avoid foes that
I learned were Joffrey from Game of Thrones and Denarius from Game of Thrones.
I positioned myself for a surprise attack, like around a corner or or like
you know, inside of a doorway or something. And then Joffrey came around
that corner and I sank my sword into his ribs, very satisfying, and
I then ran up some stairs as Denarius was rounding a corner and it was
mostly reaction on my part. I quickly upthrust my sword through the bottom of
her jaw, Jesus. She was dead. That was it, that was
in the heart. I felt pride in dispatching two well known foes, but
I couldn't stay in the area because you know, there were other people that
were starting to come in from the enemy side. So I man the next
thing that was constant motion, always running in this dream, I was always
on the move, because you know, you stay still, you die.
I found Gandolf Jesusking Nerd, and we headed. We headed towards a position
that our team held in order to reinforce them. Only RoboCop could save you.
We ran down this long, dark hall and I saw a guard from
our team that was at the other end of it, and they were like
they saw us coming, and they kind of got ready with a you know,
a sword. But but I was running so fast that I nearly barreled
over this this person. And it was a very small guard and she it
was a girl. She had barely had time to recognize me too. But
I did manage to stop once I saw that was Aria Stark from Game of
Throne Jesus with her sword needle, and then the game was over. After
in the next scene and I was in the middle of this this like colosseum
or arena type area, or like a football stadium even kind of thing.
The participants were all filing towards the stands and the exits good good guys and
bad guys. Um. The ground was was really dirty and kind of upturned,
but also it was kind of like construction ground, and it was also
like hardened by time and cold. Anyone's wondering, We've solved it that there's
no way your dream in real time. This is like an eons of a
dream. But everything happened at the at the right time. I just skipped
to a different scene of stuff, and as as I filed out by,
we had to go and walk up steps of the arena to get out.
I the the Los Angeles Lake were filing in Jesus, and it was crowded
on the stairs, and the players were curious about what we were doing there,
but they didn't ask. They didn't care. Ultimately, but my sword
accidentally came near one player um, and it was this really tan white guy
with the flopped they tried to draw the foul. No, he was really
tan. He was white guy. He had like this nineties highlighted hair like
prince hair, and Uh, he had eyelin iran and ear rings, and
you know, he was he was just he had he had like a poor
excuse for a soul patch on his chin and stuff, and he just glared
at me. And I remember thinking, what a rich douche. So that
was. That was that nice Jesus, that was That was extensive. And
don't worry, we'll hear a little bit more. But then we're gonna grab
the trap at him and the trap at him. All right, I'm gonna,
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna lightning round my own dreams for the week
because I really just had these old boot point real too long. I'm sorry,
I didn't mean it was a magnificent tale. Everyone remember heroism, heroism,
So everyone knows that Flora will loiter outside of an entrance and sucker punch
people. A lot of women getting killed in that drab just just want to
take away you know, I killed Geoffrey too. Yeah, all right,
let's see here. I did have a post apocalyptic zombie dream, as is
my want. It's my most common thing. Um at my old, my
old neighborhood back in Colorado. Um, it was a lot of like just
usual, I mean it's really bog standard for me. A lot of barricades,
a couple of them fail, you, you shotgun a few people away,
there's some hand to hand combat unit, and then it's over. Yeah.
Um, I did have so. As I said before, I did
have a dream about my dad and that we were um we were riding in
the car and he was telling me some story and I was just like I
don't I don't know, man, I just no, no, I'm not
interested. I forget what he was talking about. And we went we were
like in a mall and they had this big display of Star Wars action figures,
like they had like re released all the old school ones. And I
was like, oh, Dad, check it out, old school Star Wars
stuff. And he's like I'm gonna go over here. I was like no,
come look and he's like nah, thanks, and I was like what
a dick. I was really pissy about it. And then in my dream
there was like this voice that was like, you know, you should probably
be nicer because one day he's going to die. And then and then I
took a few steps and then I stopped and I realized. I was like,
oh crap, he already did. Oh wow, and then I like
turned around and he wasn't there, and I was like, oh, you
idiot. Wow. Yeah, So that was like I was like yeah,
but it was kind of weird. It's not like I felt like, oh
I was so terrible, Like it didn't feel like that. But I was
like, oh, oh yeah, because I've I've had that dream before kind
of in that that that vein. Would you consider it lucid? No,
okay, not really? Ish sure. Um. I had a even though
I think this has clearly actually happened, I had a dream that I was
in a cop action movie um with Tracy Morgan, even though I've never actually
seen the cop action movie with Tracy Morgan. And there was like a weird
there was like this running joke in the movie that you could see that they
were using stunt men, like it like looks like we'll have to jop you
know, or you know, a guy gets thrown through a window. But
every time like they would show the face. It was clearly like two guys
just dressed like me and Tracy Morgan, but it was like other SNL actors.
It was like they're weird little cameos that they were the stunt men for
all these scenes. I had a dream that, um, the office I
work the auction house, was at the bottom of this big ice hill and
you could just like glide down it again with the ice. Yeah yeah,
always ice, ice and zombies. Those are my things. And there was
a big convenience store. It was like one of those really big big ones.
And this weird office culture kind of popped up about the convenience store,
like all of one group of people would always hang out in the beef jerky
aisle and slim gym clieh. And there was like the people hanging out around
the coffee machine. They're like, what are you doing by the coffee machine?
I just need some coffee? Okay yeah they cured and click yeah yeah.
Um. There was some some discussion of Paintball that never quite panned out.
I have this written somebody describing a terrible video game. I don't remember
that at all anymore. That was just me calling you. Yeah. Oh,
I had a dream with a really sweet reference to the movie Beast Master.
Yeah. Someone who was like yeah, somebody was like, dude,
just get one of those helpful ferrets, like they like, you know,
that ferret will totally help you out if you need to like steal like jailer's
keys. You know that Fairt'll get them. Um, you played a lot
of Diablo, though maybe it came from that, maybe because those are in
there. Um I did. I had a boot camp of employees at work,
and it was that like, uh, I recently became director at work
back in the fall, and and so I know, dude, I prophesied
it. Oh that's right, you did through the tarot. Uh. And
so in the dream I was, I was training employees and I was like,
man, I hope, I don't get this up. I gotta do
this right. And then I got through like it was it was like boot
camp, like I had to train them for like twelve weeks and then and
that part fast forwarded through and then they left, and then this new group
came in and then I was like I got this, got your miserable sorry
asses in here. I have never seen so many hopeless, less weird list
bags in my life, and I had created this weird, this weird like
not they were just employees at the auction house, but they were also like
gonna be marines, right, And I was like, get to your cots.
You do not deserve bunks. Yet marines get bunks, you get cots,
and in six weeks you'll get rucksacks, and after eight more weeks of
that, you might be worthy of a bunk. I had created this weird
hierarchy of how they sleep, who determines like they're worth? Yeah, and
that was it. Those all my dreams for the week. Wow. Yeah,
well I thought out there that I also had a zombie apocalypse dream.
Sweet. I mean, it was like living with zombies was the norm.
Oh you know, and I know, I don't think I ever saw any
direct combat with zombies. It was just the life that went around around what
happens one guy has to live in a house full of zombies? I had
a stroke? Who ain't my peanut butter? It's just like confessional man.
All right, ten thousand dreams decoded. So where do we start with this
thing? Oh? Easy for you? It's killing women shabbah. You know
what, No, let's make it easier. Sword fights sword Okay, yeah,
I think let me just check my um Siegmund Freud Book of Dream Interpretation
Sword Fights Penis so ends the reading stabbing a lot of ladies in your dreams,
That, buddy boy, a good point. Yeah, all right,
it only has swords and daggers in here. Okay, fair enough? Sword.
To dream you wear a sword indicates you will fill some public position with
honor. To have your sword taken from you denotes your vanquishment in rivalry,
never happened to you. Nope, to see others bearing swords for tails,
dangerous altercations, a broken sword for tails, despair? Um? Maybe what's
what else? I look for? Killing? Yeah, murder, ambush,
murder? There is something with with killing. To dream of killing a defenseless
man prognosticates sorrow and failure in affairs. If you kill one in self defense,
or you kill a ferocious beast, it denotes victory and a rise in
position. Way to go, all right, I'll move it on up to
the east side. Think that. Um, all right? What about you?
What I could look for Willie Neilson in here, but I don't think
see if zombies are in there? Oh yeah, okay, that covers both
of us space too. Oh yeah, dark matter, gas harvesting, look
for that. Wow, and Metallica. Always add Metallica to a search if
you want to make it awesome. Zombies is not in here? Uh all
right? Uh? Ice? Oh okay, ice. There's ice and there's
skating. I'll just just hit a ice. I kind of had a skating
thing because I was cruising down the ice. So we'll try them both.
Okay, starting with ice. And it has ice cream too, Maybe I
should look at it, although I really think it comes from that bernand Jerry.
Hey, there was ice cream. If you if you can't find Willie
Nelson, you can't find Danny Trejoe, then we have to latch onto ice
cream. To dream of ice, but tokens much distress, and evil minded
persons will seek to injure you in your best work. To dream that you
walk on ice, you risk much solid comfort and respect for evanescent joys.
I hate evanescence, but does that mean you would risk it all for Amy
Lee? Ay Lee? Are you kidding? Who's Amy Lee? She's the
singer in Evanescence that would row nurse? Come on, I really you should
all right, I'll have to google it because I am I am one hundred
percent unknown who that is. You're taking a quick care to google images of
Amy Lee? Mmm. She is an attractive girl, but you and I
will not have to fight over her. That's all right. She takes my
talk. So yeah, perfect, Hey, that's that's that's that's the way
friends should work. Yeah, all right, so yeah, Ami Lee cross
her off the list. If any was wondering who the girl of my dreams
is, her name is Paget Brewster. She's the greatest human being ever,
Paget Brewster. Oh let's see what else do we have that we can latch
onto? Oh? Ice cream? Read ice cream? Okay, you said
something else for you deep space to dream that you're eating ice cream for tales,
happy success in affairs already undertaken. Dude, you're like killing it.
This is like the perfect reverse of the Tarot episode. You're getting like all
the like ascendant man of power, and I'm getting all the like your life
is riddled with inconsistencies and fear you well, you know what what happened with
that? Also, I you know, pretty much came true. Was the
I think you said that I still had I came out of the clearing,
or I came out of the forest into a clearing, but I still had
more forest to go through, or something like that in Miles to Go Before
You Sleep, But this was this was read from the book I think.
Oh yeah, and then that was sort of true in the situation I was.
It was the horrible apartment I was living in that rained on me and
we got out of it. And they're they're gonna legally get money from us.
Before that, they're gonna get money from us. I've got space space
aliens flying through, but that's under flying, so I'll just hit space.
Yeah, just space. There was no aliens in my dream. I've got
eclipse, stars, planet, Mars, Comet, sun Moon, not really
any of that. Huh No, well I get. I mean it's cool
if my dreams defy. Um, there are ten thousand options. Oh is
Greg Proops in there? Also, check right by Willie Knows weird only riding
walk look for that one. Oh, here we go to dream that you
are traveling in outer space means that you will soon be freeing yourself from a
confining situation. You will experience a newfound sense of independence and freedom, an
odd compiling with the sense that you got from the dream itself. Yeah,
that is weird. The dream itself was a downer. We all had to
recognize that we were going to die eventually. To see yourself as manning the
rocket ship means that you will take control over your difficulties. To dream of
a rocket, I don't know if this would be the same thing as your
space trawler, but to dream of a rocket indicates that you are currently frustrated
with your personal relationship. You are restless and in need of some movement or
advancement. I don't remember much about the ship. I actually remember more about
the gas collectors. Yeah, and you know some common dreams that people have.
Of course, there's the old flying dream. Have you ever had a
flying dream? You know what? No? I um, I have gliding
dreams, which is weird, Like, I don't I've never to my memory.
I don't have dreams where I can fly ever. But I have dreams
I used to play hockey like. I have dreams that I'm skating a lot
or that, like even when I had the dream of the office building at
the bottom of the ice hill. I have dreams that I just just effortlessly
glide along the ground, so that I have that dream a lot. But
I don't never dream that I'm flying. Interesting. I've had quite a few
flight dreams. I would say ninety nine percent of them have been trying to
fly with great difficulty. One dream I remember I had to run and then
I would jump kind of like Hulk style, and I would travel for a
lot trying to fly, but then I'd always come back down. So it
was it was never a smooth flight thing. It was always trying to take
off. There was also one where I could sort of levitate, but like
imagine like if if you started like jumping in the like you would start falling
back to the ground, but then you'd sort of hop in the air video
game double jumping kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah, but it was constant,
so I wouldn't wasn't touching the ground and I kept ascending, but I
would kept being pulled back down. It was real weird. Was everything takes
a lot of difficulty, yeah, and effort to try and fly. And
I think there was one time where I kind of had a lucid dream where
I realized I was flying and I made myself like take over and and be
like, no, you know what you're doing. You're flying and don't wake
up you at Yeah, that's pretty legit. Yeah, but everything always tries
to like pull you pull me back down, you know. It's like fighting
gravity is huge and in that stuff. There's a lot to be said about
that. I'm sure. I'm sure there is um teeth falling out people.
People get that. I get that. Sometimes I get I get broken teeth.
Ah, let me let me look up what the old book says about
that, because that's a that's I mean. I part of it is that
I I had my two front teeth broken in a bar fight. Oh wow,
Yeah, I took an elbow to the mouth as a bouncer for a
while. If you lose your teeth, you'll have burdens which will crush your
pride and demolish your affairs. To dream that you have your teeth knocked out
denotes sudden misfortune. Either your business will suffer, or deaths or accidents will
come close to you. Spitting out teeth pretends personal sickness or sickness in your
immediate family. Do you ever spit any out? Yeah? Did you get
sick after that? I don't know. I get a lot of where teeth
hurt and I gnash them to like you know, it's it's it's a painful
thing, or they're real loose. If you dream of your teeth are loose,
there will be failures in gloomy tidings. Oh boy, I've also heard
that that teeth also denotes like financial worry. Yeah, I've heard that a
lot. I've heard that before. What's what's another one? Oh the classic
naked and junior high. Yeah, I think I've had one, at least
one dream like that before. I don't know, I don't. I don't
know that. I often get full nakers, it happens. I have naked
dreams where I'm just like, but it's never like it always it always surprises
me, and that like why did I just now figure out this was such
a bad idea? Why I couldn't so or like I'll just like be in
my underwear stuff like that. Yeah, to dream you're naked? Foretales,
scandal and unwise engagements. Jesus, is there one dream I can have that's
like, oh, you're you're good and you're winning. All of them are
like I'm going to die in double explode. I don't who wrote this shit?
Well, I whoever wrote it was sitting in in like a coffee shop
at three am, like, dude, my life, there's no meaning to
it. Yeah, that guy doesn't matter, he knows, he knows.
All right, try this one. Uh so we've got nakedness? Um,
oh, what about unpreparedness. I mean the classic college you never went to
the class and it's exam time. Everybody gets that. Want to tell you,
what I've had is being on stage and not being prepared for the play
that I'm in. Oh, I've never had that. That's the most terrifying
because I think maybe that's because you are in plays and I just do improv.
So you know, such thing as not prepared. I don't see an
unprepared. What else would it be under I don't know, but I think
everyone has that dream in different in different ways, you know. The one
that I have a lot is that I that I mean high school, that
I'm not going to graduate high school. I don't see an unprepared. But
there's got to be another term, you know, speaking of that, there's
that really if anyone, I'll bet you, I'll bet you Peyton Bob knows
what I'm talking about here. The movie the I think Val Kilmer's first movie,
Top Secret, which is awesome, and he has the dream, he
has the anxiety dream that he it's like exam time and and he didn't study,
and like you're gonna fail. And he wakes up and he's being tortured
and he's like, oh, thank god, that was so great. It's
a good bit. I can't really find it. I'm sure there's there's a
different term I could look for, but so anyways, Yeah, as you
can see, it's not hard to feel a lot of time talking about to
dreams. Right, welcome to the place we promised nowhere, Now get out
this. Uh this would be a fun one to sit around and bus with,
you know, the friends and stuff. Um So, in the interest
of your time, dear listener, which is of so much interest to us,
we are going to call that dreams in a huge, gigantic nebulous discovered
recurring, sometimes erotic, sometimes erotic nutshell. Oh yeah, that's it.
I mean, that's that's that's the end of the road. The only thing
more difficult to interpret it than a dream is another dream. Just kidding,
puns, Yeah, palms all right, mother trucker, I am a mother
trucker. Let's say you went first last time. Yeah I did. I
did a really good job of it too, so you should feel pretty and
timid, dot toad, I'm gonna go first. Don't get a tough guy.
I have a baroque composer who don't fix it. Eight other composers up
if people thought music was in trouble or they were listening to bad music,
and they could call on him to come and just eat those composers up.
It was Johann Sebastian Baku. A nice you called upon him. I thought
about doing Greg Baku, Oh nice, thanks for stealing mine, dick.
Uh. You know there was an eighties cartoon about um creatures that would sit
on your chest and uk with your shed dream style. Oh except for um.
They made sure that your dreams are uplifting and you learned lessons about sharing
and being kind and and just having a good time. They're called the Caremeres
Nice. Yeah, camere stare. That's right, all right, I go
one more. Okay, I got a nineties boy band nice and sneaks in
at night and seduces you to do the nasty what it's insyncubus. That's really
good. That's really good. Oh those those nice uh n A good night's
sleep can go bye bye bye? Oh jeez, nice tag on it.
Well, you know it's funny, uh, because I also a musical act.
The problem is is um, the realm of psychology is difficult to understand.
It's full of nuance, interpretation, a lot of a lot of opinion
masking his theory, and it's it's honestly, it's hard to get kids interested.
Um and so one researcher decided to try to make it more vibrant,
make it more interesting and relevant to them, by um turning all of his
theories into um rap lyrics. That man was known as Carl Young MC.
Yeah. Nice, that's funny. That's fun I gotta tell you the floor
all this type of dreams makes me so sleepy. I'm just gonna rest my
head on this great, big pun pillow that we just fluffed and drift away
to a world of doctor nightmares. Yeah. I think I did just steal
the trock door song. I'm sorry, but that's that's the hardest rocking song
I've ever heard in my life. It's true. What we gotten is speaking
of hard rocking ding Dong Connor knocking the distant thundering, Yeah, the distant
thundering of literary hammers. It is Connor. The word smith was crafted the
finest meathrill another missive far is I am high. I'm gonna grab the fire
extinguisher here pretty soon. Connor how are you doing? We got to say
con m well, Connor is um I'm gonna go ahead and say, inappropriately
honored that it was his palindrome that led to your incarceration Visa v. Gray
Cats, perfect punctilious prosecution of you boer alliteration. My friend is the soul
of wit that does not exist as a phrase. But uh yeah, so
thank you Connor for submitting. Uh, I mean he thank you Connor for
contributing to Floora's incarceration. He does admit that he used both boob and boobs
as one boobs one as the example, the other reference. You did your
time, You did your time, did your time? Just time? And
uh, Connor, I don't know. I think we did lose. Connor
was asking about an email heson. I don't I don't see it anywhere I
looked in the backlogs. The animals are our various catchpots and book marks.
I don't say nothing but bye weeds. By by way of a probably I
deleted it. I'm an idiot, sorry about that. Um. I believe
that we're going to be granting a certain Connor's wish for an upcoming show.
Oh we may just in front me that's a little Surrey. It's right,
and we're not even gonna say anything. So Connor, for the next week,
that'll be your secret, pride and joy, keep it secret, keep
it safe, and let's keep the next listener mail rolling. Connor, what
have I become? I don't know, getting rewared with it. It's getting
kind of hot in the room though. Quick note to our listener Jesse,
Rusty Wallace, it's filthy. Well, look who it is, Old toboggan
Gin, Hello, Jen, I get it a when some men get to
hear from you again, and to hear from your with pup, Jen says.
Legend has it that there is yet another version of the Anjiocuney mystery.
A trapper stops into a restaurant near the village, goes inside, but no
one's there. It's clear that the restaurant was holding a competition. Before he
arrived. A huge banner hung above the entryway stating annual Anjiacuney Bake Off.
Beautifully decorated pastries and other baked goods were on lovely silver trays. About the
dining area. A judges table was set up, but alas no bakers,
no judges, no spectators, remained to be found. It was the Ajikuni
cake mystery. Are you kidding? That's the That's the Angiocuney cake opportunity to
eat all the cake. The setting for the Angiocuni Lake mystery was set in
an inhospitable tundra. If none of us had come up with any puns for
it, would it not be called a pundra? Oh? It is a
harsh landscape. Oh oho? And look at this. To settle the argument
over disappearance or disappearances, she's with me. With disappearances, you feel toganites
like just like I said, Angie Cooney, lake disappearance sounds like the lake
itself disappeared. That was my That was my argument. Oh oh, sir,
was the rest of her reasoning because you made fun of her. Toboggan
Oh, toboggan Nites. Toboggan Nites. Nice. I don't care about science,
You don't care about anything but your head gear and your weird names.
I gotta say, listening to that episode again and disappearance rolls off the tongue
better, but I still it still makes me think of the area that's disappearing
and not you know, a group of people but disappearances doesn't really cut it
either, So I don't know. How about toboggan Nites. Does that cut
it? Yeah, we'll do that. Deane Coney like Tobogganites. Thanks Jim,
