Hey, it's dream time!

I dreamt that my mom and I went out for some kind of Middle Eastern food. We ended up at a place that wrapped meat and vegetables in pitas, but apparently she was trying to get something more like an Indian dish of meat and veggies in sauce. She kept asking the girl behind the counter for things they couldn't make, and both of them got very confused. My brother and a bunch of his friends came in and were being rowdy, so we left and wandered through the streets of New York, where odd things were happening. There was a ballet company practicing in a park - their ballet was going to be outdoors in the dark with spotlights. There was also an ostrich which took off and flapped about a bit. It was clear that it wasn't a good flyer, but it could fly, and I was surprised, since I had thought ostriches couldn't fly.

This somehow segued into a different dream, where I was a soldier in the Confederate Army. But we'd discovered that our officers were either incompetent or possibly aliens. Something strange that they didn't want us to discover. They'd locked a bunch of us up as "traitors", but we talked to the rest of the detachment through the barred window, and they agreed to mutiny with us. They'd blasted their way through the wall with a cannon and we were climbing out when I woke up.

*sings* Big birds don't fly! Bi-ig birds don't fly-y-y (they don't fly). Big birds do-on't fly.

I love the idea that the Rebs were roused by a bunch of aliens. It would explain a lot, like Southern indifference to the evils of slavery, for example. Also, those mustaches.

What part of this is weird? None of it is stranger than realities we've experienced in NYC. What about the mostly naked dancing/roller skating guy in Central Park? The parade with Sean Connery, (was it?), bag pipers and angry horses in the freezing sleet just before Easter? The wolf running around the city a few months ago? I'm sure there's a lot stranger stuff than these mundane dreams. (Have you seen American Idol?!!) I think your dreams should go back to slandering historic statesmen. And that counter girl was just being stubborn. I know she had Indian sauce back there....

Oh, I'll admit the first one wasn't actually that weird.

But c'mon, the second? Alien Confederate soldiers?

I've had bosses who I thought were incompetent, or possibly aliens. Seems reasonable that Confederate soldiers (or, for that matter, anyone) would suffer similar experiences...

OMG,
Your dreams are really, really interesting.
A Freudian would have a field day with them!

Since you have not asked me, I will not interpret them, but WoW.

Anyway, I find you and your comments are quite interesting and I am going to friend you (and since I am engaged, I am finding that your interests are becoming congruent with my own...)
