Absolutely! You do what happens......... like I say, Arizona will roll out as it rolls out! I can feel that in my gizzard. Love to have you along, but the run back to Phoenix will probably take two hours........... adjustments must be taken into account. Don't worry about my sleeping arrangements......... I always squeek by somehow.

ah he never answers my questions.......... maybe once in a while he runs parallel to something I said. I think there's a "Moody Mind" that spans over about 10 news groups and all of us are constantly surfing our choices (FB, etc) pick up and sort out the same input, out comes similar output. I've thought that for a long time.

Everyone has a Muse........... Justin is mine right now (it could be Groucho Marx tomorrow) .................. if I were "her".............. I would refer you to the speech of Thomas Kent, somewhere in the middle of the Thames. In a rowboat at night with William Shakespeare. There are worse places for awkward scenes I suppose.

You really saw Emerson? Cool. I'm very envious of you doing Moogfest!

I slept so well last night I remember no dreams. I was dreaming something goofy right as I woke up, gave it a quick analysis and said "that's worth forgetting" so I did.

Last night, I dreamed I was in a local grocery store and saw Mike Dawes. I said hi, and he said hi. I complimented his video, and he gave me a kind of hmmmm, to let me know he didn't want to be rude, but he really had to study the groceries.

I had a really bad dream about Gordy a few nights ago......... I don't wish to put up the details, but it was G rated, have no fear. But I was really glad to see him post in the morning, for the first time in several months. The Moodies surround themselves with serious talent, no doubt about that.

Just two more weeks. If you see any of their shows, you must post and let me know.... I don't plan to do any of them... . time to behave myself. Staying in Realityland.

Two weeks until - - - Jury Duty!
One week until - - - The boss goes into the hospital and wants me to hold down the office in his absence!
Negative one week until - - - It's too expensive to buy airline tickets and get the brother's families in line to see me in Detroit!
Faith usually works miracles, though.

Back on topic!!!

I had the coolest dream last night. Graeme has been talking about his snakes and tortoises over on his facebook.... I'm afraid the little tortoises are probably eaten by now, but I had a dream about them last night. Momma tortoise (who looked remarkably like my old friend Blossom, one of our childhood pets) was guarding the babies, and about five or six had hatched and were running (flopping) around, had little soft shells. I was so excited!!! And yes I think the black snakes were in the picture too, but they were friendly. It was sorta a hopeful dream. I like those sorts. Blossom was a very sweet tortoise, she had almost a smile on her face sometimes. I miss her.

Yesterday or the day before, I woke up in mild fear. On my mind was the answer to the question, "Why do intelligent people do stupid things?"

The interpretation is that you will be the mother of five or six of Graeme's children. The black snakes were hiding. They symbolize trouble, but you were shielding the children from dealing with them. That's why they will all grow up to be flops.

If I say I'm a charlatan, does that mean I still am?

Nice try Wink

I decided that the five little turtles were the Moodies themselves. The big tortoise was Mother Earth (also a tie in to Hindu myth, the world rides on the back of a huge turtle you know). The snakes indeed showed up in the garden after I'd been blogging about them (true synchronicity there.... I feel proudLaugh) snakes* symbolize knowledge and also power/male fertility... so the mating dance is an extension of that.

The Moodies are but at the beginning.... and our knowledge (and manna) will increase.

Intelligent people doing stupid things is an oxymoron in perspective. Everyone has a blind spot. I've found I enjoy embracing the blind spots, as it's an opportunity to explore and learn.

*western and eastern myth diverge here (Christians think of The Serpent as "evil"), which is why dream interpretation is "iffy".............. the point to dream interpretation is to engage the dreamer in exploring what it means to THEM, not telling them what it means. The analyst simply throws out suggestions sometimes.

There are no charlatans in psychology. Only different methods.

Speaking of charlatans, I was just watching a movie today (finishing up some quilts) I think says a lot on the matter of male self esteem. "What is a Charlatan?" You see there's this carny magician, and he's left a trail of broken hearts behind him, because he's very Irish, very young, a dreamer, not really very mature, dissatisfied with life, not reliable etc etc (poplar psychology calls it a "Peter Pan" complex........ can't stay with one woman self esteem issues yada yada)

Anyway I really liked this... it's true family entertainment, fantasy for the kids, life lessons for the adults, a little romance. I also got into the "special features" section of the DVD and was impressed to find out that Disney bought the rights to all the Oz stories after MGM had such a huge hit.... it was interesting film history. There was a very cute dance with the Patchwork Girl and the Scarecrow from the Mousekateers, that sort of thing. Disney was working on a Disney musical to follow the original WoOz but it was dropped and *Babes in Toyland* was done instead.

*Return to Oz* was very well done, it came out in 1984 or so... my son, husband and I went to see it at the drive in. The Yellow Hen was a big hit with my toddler :) Anyway enjoy and try to track down the whole movie, it's very worth watching. Enlightening almost.

Speaking of charlatans, I couldn't stand the "Music Man." It was like a political campaign that actually came true. Creepy.

There is one scene in *Music Man* that just KNOCKS me out............ it's the song "Marian Librarian"............ that is one of the most fabulous dance sequences I've ever seen in my life. It must have been really cool to do on stage if it was anything like the movie.

OH relax. It's this "Story #24" in the formula book for writing plots. Dude is a slippery irresponsible cheater, is running a big hustle, falls in true love, gets redeemed, hustle turns out "for real"........ same story with this Oz story, only it's in Oz and makes sense in the Oz universe. Sometimes a charlatan is doing no more than drawing out our own sense of faith.... every hustle is a test of faith IMHO. "You can't cheat an honest man. Never give a sucker an even break, nor smarten up a chump". -- WC Fields Ponder these words of wisdom, grasshopper.

Sometimes irresponsible dudes DO grow up oddly enough. You've just got to have faith in them, sometimes that's all they want. Sometimes they relapse. Sometimes they relapse to "test their love" and it all turns into dumb head games. There are times I'm super glad I'm not married anymore, my Ex was prone to that sort of thing. Ugh indeed. Heheh he was a stage magician too. It's a type.

Only in fairy tales, sadly. Too often. I did think the Oz movie handled the ageless plot well tho.

It's getting complicated here, I'm actually running into something interesting.... good discussion. Just, it's a good movie, watch it if you get the chance. I enjoy a little trip to Oz once in a while. It's all about keeping your feelings positive. Laugh No matter what.

I salute all the women who put up with abuse and mind games and other ugh just to have kids. I feel like a schmuck for shirking responsibility and saving my hide.

Relationships aren't easy. Sometimes it takes a long time to figure them out. "Love at first sight" is very very very very rare. Romantic but not very practical....

No excuse for abuse, from either spouse. Then again professional victims usually find the abusers, and sadly that stands in for love sometimes. Cry

Dang it this isn't the topic for this thread! If people can't communicate (simply and clearly), they have no business in a relationship IMHO... but it happens.... it's amazing what we will do in a relationship to "fill in the blanks"........... lallallallal....... Cool

I had a weird dream last night........... of all people, NORDA was in it! For some weird reason, she was giving me a foot massage! And just the left foot too. (I do have issues with that foot cramping, a sciatica problem, long story, but usually a banana straightens it right out). In exchange, Norda commented, I had to find her some flowers and do a marvelous arrangement with them. This is totally out of my job description, but I took the job on... and then had a terrible time finding nice flowers. I looked everywhere. I was going to settle on wildflowers, but even those were in short supply.

Norda if you're out there reading, absolutely I don't want a foot massage from you, I do it for myself all the time. But it was like Norda was this "Maya in the garden" figure.... all very metaphorical. Really pretty actually.

Are your ready for my interpretation? Graeme is pounding his drums with Norda, because bananas become drumsticks in his dream, and Norda becomes bananas in your dream (simple substitution). Therefore, you'd better give Norda some flowers at the next concert, because it is not exactly joyous getting banged into a drum like that.

Am I close?

Pretty pictures. I welcome all wisdom.

There IS music in trees, in architecture.................

You may do any interpretation you like. It's like the turtles, I'm somehow tapping into Hindu mythos. I'm not sure why, very weird. I was a teeny bit wary of posting that, but Norda will understand.... she's into that sort of thing. The Abos feel it's polite to let someone know if you dreamed about them, no matter the reason.

I dreamed of visiting in a nursing facility. It was an unauthorized visit, and there were about four of us on some kind of a mission. Among us was a guy who had this androgynous persona he called Zorg. He was a fast-change artist, and he could go from man to woman, patient to nurse rather quickly. He was very helpful in keeping us out of trouble.

Zorg sounds like a handy dude to have on your side. Is he from the album?

Nothing so sinister here last night, I dreamed I was running a dog pound! Somehow my son and my dog Micco had merged into one being (because we were having a conversation, it all seemed perfectly natural) .... then I found another male German Shepard out on the streets, and we decided we had better take him home, give him a place to be, take care of him.... check his microchip. He was a real well behaved dog too. I woke up before we got home tho.

My son would be mad if I told him I dreamed he was just one more dog! Laugh

I was trying to find the quote about "Dogs make better pets than men" then I found some "adult humor" stuff which was totally disgusting :P ............... I think the bumper sticker was "Men are like dogs, but dogs make better pets" something like that. Laugh

I had a nightmare, which is why I"m up at 3 am typing on the website. Graeme Edge has said he has all sorts of reoccurring nightmares around the tours . I do too, mostly based on fact, This one reoccurs a lot for me.

I am trying to get to a show. Running late. Sometimes I've stopped to help friends, or to move them along at a quicker pace. This time I was dressed in regular clothing rather than cool concert clothes. Went to look for my ticket and it wasn't in my wallet. That didn't matter because the concert had been a matinee anyway and was just ending as we got there. I tried to go to the stage door and lost the person I was traveling with (bummer because I think I had the car). It was horrible, I was just wandering around obsessed and trying to "see" the band like the nerdy fan I am.... security kept looking at me like I was a lower form of life.

Justin made a cameo appearance in a dream last night. It wasn't powerful, just nice. I had Row W seats and then on intermish Justin decided to treat us to a children's show. Half the people left, so I moved up to the front row. Then, they changed the stage and it was 120 degrees behind my new-found seat. I tried to get my friends who let me sit with them to move, and as I did, Justin came out, sans makeup (It was a dream!), and said, "I want you to move." I didn't flip or try to engage in conversation. I was so obsessed over getting a good seat, I didn't realize he was standing right there. I followed orders, but every seat I tried like Goldilocks was an obscured view. Most of the time, the view was blocked by chairs set upon tables for cleaning. It never occurred to me until I woke up how simple it would be to take one of the chairs down and sit in it. You were in the dream, too, luna. You got David, who was setting up the stage, to give a lecture on the latest acoustic and light effects. The room was full of strangers with names and complicated bios. It always feels good to wake up after Justin makes an appearance, no matter how crazy the dream.

I don't remember my dreams, REM is but a fleeting moment I suspect. Life becomes a waking dream, I keep meaning to start another dream diary, then the scribbled notes get buried under another stack of paper. Seems like Moodies were wandering through my head last night, yes. Mostly "It won't be Easy"....... I really don't like summer hours. I don't get my sleep, I'm a natural night owl and stay up 'way past midnight, then when dawn breaks I'm up like a shot, programmed to go to work. I think I'll black out my windows today. Just found the paper I'd hidden.

Omar Shariff died and a probe approaches Pluto. If this is not the stuff of twilight dreams, then what is? I hope my Mom catches up with Omar in Heaven, she was an ardent follower, both were Bridge nuts. Grand slam, Mom and Omar! Seven no trump...........
