Guess what!?

I think all I needed to do to cure myself of my self-deprivating-dream-recollection illness was to get it out and tell someone. Cause last night I had a really wierd ass dream, and I remembered it this morning, and was lying in bed thinking that was wierd as hell, I should post about it. Anyways, not to go into great detail, but in the condensed version, my mom and marc picked me up from Lincoln, and as we drove across the no-longer-so-My-Antonia-pretty prairie that is Nebraska (by the way, did you know that was filmed in NE? That's awesome, Douggie Howser was in NE!..that makes me happy), and anyways, I spotted this giant creature thing that was like a big cow but shaped more like one of those cartoon baby goats with the big round heads..you know what I mean? Anyways, it upright in the air on 2 feet walking over the fields (and this was a giant freaking cow..I may have to scan a drawing later to help you picture it). The strange part was that I realized this "cow" had what appeared to be fingers...but upon closer examination I realized that it was in fact four miniature cow legs (hoofs and all) on this round ball of a hand...yeah I think I may be able to explain this later, you see, over the past I have realized that events from my day work themselves into my dream.

So to continue, I was like freaking out in the backseat, and my mom and marc were like, oh yeah, while you've been away (or paraphrased as "Since U Been Gone" which I believe was playing in the dream, courtesy to my Live KC/Mraz cd that I was listening to on repeat while I slept..also occured later when I saw Tyler and Reid, and Tyler was playing the guitar to "Shy That Way" and I was impressed that he knew the song and sounded so much like Mraz in singing it)..yeah, so..anyways, apparently I had been gone for like 100 years or something, because while I was away, Conan (said as if a local) had bred it that way. At this I was confused, and they were like, "Yeah, it was his special project..actually his first one was Teddy (who in my mind looked the same as this giant cow, but this flashback was in sepia color, and "Teddy" was wearing a giant sized cowboy hat) But unfortunately Teddy was in an accident where his giant barn he lived in burnt down. So Conan had to start over, and somehow this involved using parts of different animals and putting them together to create this new giant cow/thing. I don't remember why, but somewhere in there I remember a bunch of blonde girl's heads sitting in wood crate, jabbering about something. And then, as if I were watching this on TV the whole time, Conan cut to a commercial break, and said we would be right back with his biography on A&E.


Okay, so here's the interesting part, the part where all of this untangles itself to make sense to me. Okay, first off I was looking up Eva Marie Saint, and actress I saw in my Film Class, and saw that she was in My Antonia, and discovered that the "beautiful" scenery was filmed in NE, so that explains why we were on a ride through the middle of the prairie. Then I think the many sets of cow feet on each hand of this creature/beast came from the many many many times I heard the word "filangees" yesterday while editing my video interview I filmed with Ruth and Kristin (I convinced Ruth--the host who didnt want to use her own name, to use, Regina Filangee...Maggie will appreciate that). The Teddy cow, died in a barn burning accident, because I had finished writing my essay on the short story "Barn Burning" (yeah, that one wasn't so subtle to figure out, huh) by William Faulkner. Then last night Reid called me, and while we were on the phone, Tyler called him, and was going crazy, so that explains why Tyler out of nowhere appeared in my dream. And then of course, the songs he was singing came from my stereo that I leave on at nights. And lastly Conan O'Brien, was the last face I saw before I went to sleep. His face is on my computer desktop, and I shut my monitor off before crawling into my bunk.

See...it's all good. I'm now back to "normal" :)

(PS, Maggie, I definitely feel your pain with the whole Mrs. Bond thing. I would have cried behind my shed too...and I'm sure its paper/stress related. Remember all the wierd dreams I started to have about wars, and things from Mr. Henry's class my Junior Year? Those were awesome. I think Kayla had a few too. Mine was a war in Kings, and Kayla's was in her yard around a tree? Which involved Shirley too, somehow I think...haha)
