I had a dream the other night that I was in love with someone that I'm not actually in love with. It was very strange, and it's still sort of haunting me.

Coming from a rich and recognized psychological background, I have come to the conclusion that your dream means that you actually:

1) Want to kill your father.
2) Want to marry your mother.

That is an unavoidable side-effect of being apart from whoever it is you want to be with. I can't count how many times this summer I've had dreams about awful exes, lost opportunities, or current friends, all in relationships I shouldn't be in and don't want.

These are totally disturbing and screw me up for days, by the way. You get over it, though.

I've had those. The biggest example I remember was back in Jr. High or High School, the person was someone I had never been friends with or interested in in the slightest, and it completely screwed me up for a few days because whenever I saw the guy in the hallways, I immediately had an emotional reaction, or at least a shadow of an emotional reaction, based on the dream.

Things you dream of remembering can also mess you up like that.

I often have dreams where I meet someone and fall desperately in love with them, with the full intensity of feeling you would expect if it happened for real.

Usually this person is a stranger, someone who doesn't correspond to anyone I actually know. Inevitably, at some point in the dream I will "remember" that I am actually married to Ramee, and that I have put myself in a terrible and irreconcilable position. I wake up from these dreams disturbed, frightened, and sad.

I had a dream last night that involved stand-up comedy with David Carradine, but you don't see *me* posting about that, do you?


...oh, wait.
