AFRO-PUNK

... the other Black experience

Props to whoever suggested this, I'm thinking it was Rage Proletaire.

I had a dream last night that all my church going relatives were suited and booted at someone's birthday party alongside Tony Alva, Steve Caballero, Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, and Lady Gaga. I don't remember who the guest of honor was, but the Bones Brigade dudes answered every question and were very cool.

Post yours.

My last dream was two nights ago. I was searching for something in a desert with my sister and some guy. I was looking on the ground and through the sand. All of a sudden my hand started to hurt realy bad. I could not move my hand because of how bad it hurt. I woke up and my hand was hurting. FREAKY!!!
a good one from lastnite: was having dinner with a bunch of friends and re-connected with a former friend/crush and i felt so at ease... an unusual dream for me because i'm usually very tense at night while i'm asleep and can definitely feel it when i wake up.

a funnier one from a few weeks ago was dreaming about my old room that had bugs in it and i'd been debating on whether or not to get some sort of small animal friend and the dream included a bunny that hated me, it's crap pellets, and all sorts of bugs crawling in the carpets and on the comforter. ...yeah, so i'm not getting a pet anytime soon.
I had a dream that Blind Date got canceled/removed from syndication, making it a nightmare. This came after recognizing the comedic genius of Roger Lodge and that his real name is Rogilio(?) Chavez. He also married to Pamela Paulshock whom some wrestling fans may remember as Gene Okerlund's replacement in WCW. She had a nice boob job.

Then I had another dream where I was on a date with a guy codenamed The Pig, not because of his behavior but because that's his sign.

A really enjoyable one was Harpo Marx chasing me around.

I had one where my cat died, multiple times. First of a heart attack and then for no reason.

Then I had a dream we had a pet lion and tiger like the Addams Family and the tiger ripped my eye out but then it turns out it didn't and we were trapped in my bedroom.

Then I had a dream that was like The Addams Family mixed with the Princess and the Frog/Snow White but I was a villiain and tried to kill Naveen.

One time I watched the BooBahs and had a nightmare, not because it was scary but just because I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on.

I have been a intense dreamer for as long as I can remember. The first dream I remember as a child was being told by my mother to go in the basement. When I went down the stairs,the door close and it was pitch black. Some monsters grabbed me and started tickling me. Another would be sitting on the rail of a freeway overpass that was extended vertically in the sky. Kermit the frog was sitting next to me and then suddenly pushed me over the side.
-On New Years,I had a dream that I was creating a precious metal that I knew many people would want.
- A couple of nights ago,I had a dream that Andy Warhol wanted me to be in his art show but I refused when I saw the clothes he wanted me to wear.

kermit is an assholes and that metal you were making must've been unobtanium. lol.


but speaking of nightmares from childhood ... i had your run of the mill being chased by something and it's night dreams. but there are a few that i can still see in mind--one involved an upside down pyramid and being trapped inside of it and the other involved an oversized egg i had to protect and some witches hunting the egg and me down in the neighborhood i grew up in.

...oh and there was a long stretch of dreams where i had to protect myself but it involved sleep walking and throwing things at people IRL--so when i'd wake up my cousins would tell me i was running around and throwing socks at them the night before (lol). i also had a very long stretch of choking/throwing up dreams that had a sleep walking component to them--it started when i was really, really young and it stopped maybe last year or late the year before?

oh and i had a few lucid dreams when i was taking a psychoactive drug a few months ago... it was exactly like the eXistenZ scene where they kept unplugging/waking up but each time they thought they were safe they realized they were still plugged in and had to find their way out--i remember thinking about my options rationally and still knowing i was in a dream despite "waking up" multiple times. freakyshit.

haha... and speaking of dreaming about "ailments" -- i definitely remember dreaming about organic chemistry compounds when i was stressed about the class or a calculus problems and have even solved or understood the mechanisms a few times in my dreams. my most recent dream that answered a question that was bothering me recently involved a bunny that hated me, my old room, the bunny's crap, and bugs crawling on my bed and in the carpet--the "message" = not the right time for an animal friend.
I was considered starting a dream thread again, after Monday night/Tuesday morning's dream. I have a feeling that as I become more settled in life (greater responsibilities, greater potential for losses should something go wrong), my dreams may become more violent.

I dreamt of a riot across the street (no idea where I was, but I was cutting through a parking lot on foot, in wool peacoat. Police showed up to break it up, but they didn't know whether to shoot indiscriminantly or back off. So they stayed in place, some poised with guns drawn, shouting "cease and desist" feebly. Some guy walks out of the gas station, and some other guy in a black military jacket shimmies up to him, draws and gun, and blows a hole through his head. The body drops like a sack o'stones and sort of ripples on the concrete. Cops zero in on him, point their guns, and he crosses the street to get away, running directly at me.

I remember saying aloud, "aww, fuck, man. Of course you're going to run right towards me -- really?" or something akin to it. I woke myself up before the po-po shot us both up.

Will definitely be back to this thread.
... Had a dream about five or six years ago, whilst couch-surfing at some friends' house. I'd entered an arm-wrestling tournament, and I must’ve had some ulterior motive for doing so, because there was a lot of backstage snooping going on. Somebody was systematically offing opponents as I made my way across the brackets, and each time they’d do it in the dead of night, seemingly without weapons or much of a struggle. It was always the day before I was due to compete, so I kept getting byes. When I made it to the finals, I was staring across the table at a cobra (apparently he was the Grand Champion, and had been picking people off so that I’d have to face without any possibility of an alternate outcome). He hissed at me, and then lunged forward. I remember waking up, running across the couch, falling over the end, and smashing a plant pot in the process with my knees.

I remember someone, at some point in the dream, saying "he killed O'Hara!"...
I have had dreams in black in white. I cant remember all of it but I know it was about my parents struggles with their marriage.

Sometimes I think we dream about sensations or ailments that we are feeling at the moment.

For instance, earlier this week I had a dream that I was having a heart attack. When I woke up I had chest pains (from my acid reflux and heartburn). It's interesting.

I'm curious-does anyone dream in black and white?

I don't recall that ever happening for me. Not yet, anyway.

Had a dream (maybe two years ago?) that was almost entirely in yellow. It was a Saturday morning, and the alarm clock was set to sound off with NPR. A Stevie Nicks song (I think it was "I Can't Wait") played for what seemed like an eternity, and I wound up dreaming I was at a sleepover concert of some kind in a high school auditorium. There were blankets, sleeping bags, and basketball goals. I remember a lot of windows, so maybe it was sunlight that did the trick.

So now I always picture the color yellow when I hear anything by Stevie Nicks.
Yes, there's a dream thread! Thank you for telling me, D. Thank you for starting it, Compound.

Part of last night's:
I was at a wedding. The bride was a sista, really light, almost White, sista. I was with her when she was getting prepared. She had some kind of silver glitter right over her lip. So, I got really close to her face and tried to get it off of her. She and I were very close to each other, face to face, like we were going to kiss. Damn. Then we were at the reception and she was sad. So I danced with her. I remember our breasts touching and the both of us getting very happy and very comfortable in our embrace. Then I saw my husband and knew that she would enjoy dancing close to him more than me. So I asked Omar to dance with her. Then I ran up to a bedroom to watch them on some type of tv screen. WTF Then Omar came into the bedroom, his dick was hard, and he was doing that 'I want some' smile at me.

My interpretation: I'm a closet freak! lol I've been trying to get tickets to see Sade, my husband's favorite singer. The sista may have been Sade? I don't know. I loved how I was so comfortable with giving up my husband for a close body to body dance with another woman. I think it means I feel secure in my marriage, knowing that my husband never hurt me that way. And in the dream, when he got all sexually arosed, he came back to me to be completely satisfied. Oh, I know, that's my understanding of him and his porno! I got it. I used to be so upset about his Asian porn viewing. Now, I could care less. It's what he does. It has nothing at all to do with me.
Wow so I just had a dream that kept waking me up. Kill the Zombies!!!! lol

I was in a car with my brother, father and mom. We heard of a safe house in a factory building. We get there and they let us in. There was food and water there. It was safe until the next handfull of people came in. This one guy just started to eat a lot. I kept telling him that we have 106 ppl to feed and he should just have serving of food. Well that same guy left the back door open. The door that leads to the trucks and cars. So we had zombies break through. My family and I got away, but i could not find my sister. We made it to a house and boarded up the windows and doors. I called my sister but no anwers. I thought she was gone and turned undead. I got mad and took my brother out with the car to search for him. As we did so I lost my brother but fround my sister. lol For some reason this zombie dream really scared me, but i think its bc i had family in there and i didnt want to loose them to a bunch of zombies.
just had a cute dream about love/partnership
followed by a horrible dream about youth incarceration and abusive guards
What did that dream mean? I saw two people who I just can't stand. I think my mind is being too occupied by their bullshit.

Also in last night's dream, I held the cutest little baby. I knew that she was mine, but she wasn't Veta. She was so precious: dark skinned, smelled so good, little nappy fro, beautiful brown eyes, and looked just like ME! She looked like a baby version of me. Maybe she was me. Maybe I dreamed about her to remind myself just how beautiful I am. I held her like she was the most important person in this world. Perhaps it was a reminder that I need to treat myself well. She was so adorable. Yep, that me. teehee
