Dreamlife Feb 29 - Robin

Dream One

Type:  Computer stress
People: Just me
Featured: A mac turning into a PC (Quelle horreur!)

My computer was acting all glitching, so I turned if off and back on.  When I turned it on, it had wiped off everything I had ever loaded or written and—worst of all—it was now a PC!!!  I was backed up and it was still on warranty so I thought it might turn out ok.  But even looking at the PC made me very unhappy.

Context:  Last night was clear, so we were going to go out to see the aurora if it got active. We set the alarm for wake-up every hour and a half, with the computer ready to check a webcam site and the prediction site.  So the computer was very much on my mind, and I ended up with multiple separate dreams due to the alarm clock.  My Mac Air had actually once done all this (except turn into a PC) so it is a fear based on reality.

Dream Two

type: alternate biography
people: myself and a boyfriend
featured: my heterosexual self?

I had a boyfriend but I totally neglected him.  I didn't return his calls very often and didn't always remember he existed.  I hadn't talked to him in several years so I thought I should call him and see if he was alive and still my boyfriend.   He was French and seemed interested in a French woman so I don't think he was anymore.  I wasn't upset about that, of course.

I do like young French guys a lot—having gotten to know many over the years—so my choice makes sense.  However, back in my heterosexual days (i.e. before 19), I did have a striking indifference to my boyfriends, so this makes sense, also.

Dream 3

Type: pop culture
People: Angelina Jolie and Demi Moore (as objects of a discussion)
Featured: Jolie's leg and anorexia

I was talking to a group about the Oscars and we were discussing Jolie's leg.  Someone said they thought she was anorexic.  I said that, while she had a skinny leg, she didn't look anorexic to me compared to, say, Demi Moore. (Poor Demi.)  But her knee looked very odd.  Perhaps she had surgery on it?  I was surprised that she wanted to show that knee.

Well, this is a very literal dream.  And here is the knee.

  1. I hadn't observed her knee that closely before, but you're right--it looks messed up. I was talking with a friend today, and we thought that Angelina is too smart to buy into all this posing stuff and we think she was playing a role. Especially on stage when she presented the award. Seemed completely tongue in cheek. But boy, did she ever stir up a shit-storm!
