O happy dream!

[thrihyrne]

You all know that I have very long, detailed, did I mention detailed and long dreams that I remember more often than not. I don't write them down much anymore as it just gets too confusing when going on in real life, but this past week I've been dreaming of going back "home" to a house under renovation/reconstruction that I didn't remember at all. I was retrieving all of the things I'd had housed there, including photos, letters, and for some reason, loads and loads of jewelry: but things like brooches and earring sets, things I don't actually have in real life.

But last night, I got to dream about… Alan Rickman. Think "Truly, Madly, Deeply" Alan Rickman, but without the facial hair. At first we were both in a period movie, and were long-separated lovers, but it was Victorian or Edwardian, so there was no real getting it on, but lots and lots of really scorching finger touching, nuzzling, nibblekissing, that sort of thing. But then we were together somehow in real life, in current times, and it somehow segued into me being on a trip and a bunch of people running past me to catch a connecting flight and I'd become buddy buddy with somebody that I was going to get opera tickets to. And I was still involved with Alan, but had to wait to fly there and was hanging out with my (turquoise, hard case) suitcase in a waiting area until some flight attendants from another airline said I had to move- turns out my flight wasn't for another 4 hours or somesuch. Anyway, eventually I believe I was able to hang out with Alan and hold hands and there was all kinds of promise for marvelous things to come. The emotional hangover of sorts of happiness of reuniting in both the period piece part and the real life part has made me rather wistful and full of longing… for someone I've not really met.

This is why I try not to write down my dreams: it gets too complex, with the elements going on in my real life, the one that other people interact in, anyway, plus my writing life and the feelings/actions of the characters who demand I write about them, and then this additional layer! Still, I can revel a bit in the memory of something that emotionally happened and felt as real as anything else. And me with no Alan Rickman icon right now... phooey. We'll go with me daydreaming under a tree as a child. I come by this stuff honestly.

Happy Friday!

dreams to long for

Damn, sounds like a cool dream, and I do so hate those dreams that give you that empty, longing feeling for something that was never real. Haven't had a dream like that in a long time though.

Happy Friday!

I love dreams like that, that feel so real...like you really knew that person. I still believe that every person in our dreams is just ourselves, a part of us.

In any case, have an icon!!

Yes, it can be terrifically annoying/baffling/troublesome when you have a dream that's incredibly vivid in every sense, including emotionally, only to not be able to truly share it because it was a dream. It doesn't make the feelings any less true or 'real,' however. You're such a good sleeper; do you dream much?

Happy Friday back to you! I'll have weekend minutes tomorrow and can call you, finally! :P

That's what one of my therapists said. What manifestation of myself does Alan Rickman represent, I wonder?? Thanks ever so for the icon! I have one of him in a kilt that I should bring out of its folder.

Hope you're having a good start to your weekend!

I'm not surprised that you're dreaming about houses/homes. On the whole, certainly in Jungian interpretation of dreams, you would expect a house/home to represent the whole self of the dreamer: the state of the house and what is happening to it being relevant too... rennovating/restoring sounds like lots of changes - hard work but changes for the better... just a thought!

I do dream a lot, however I don't remember them as much as i once did.

i don't have those vivid/lingering dreams that often, but i love it when i do (well, that is if there were positive emotions involved. had one recently with kissing and bradley james (arthur in the beeb's merlin). it was v. nice.

we really need to get together, hon.

I don't have any Rickman icons as well, if it's any consolation (or any HP icons, for that matter, though I dabble occasionally in that fandom. How strange of me.)

It seems like a very cool dream! ^^ And Rickman is made of intense win.

Very interesting!! I don't know much about Jungian anything, but the symbolism of the house and going through my old things and re-owning them seemed pretty straightforward.

So great to chat with you!!! (((loves)))

I'm used to mine, but they don't usually involve someone quite so famous like that, lol.

How's your tomorrow? Maybe I could stop by after church or something for a couple of hours? I'll email you as well.

I was huge in HP fandom for a while, a few years, but now I'm mostly on the other side. The dream was quite lovely and it was a shame that it didn't get to be more involved. The muted sexuality of things was quite hot at the time, though. ;)

Oh my god. What a dream! Interesting and appropriately Kristi-awesome-profound-poetic near the end, but guuuuhhhhhh I think I was a puddle after the word nibblekissing.

From what I heard it's kind of a scary fandom to be in. >.> Well, I do tend to stay under my rock, so really these are fourth-hand rumors.
