Write Me

I bought an air conditioner last night and forgot that installing these things isn't a picnic. So even though I have the proper cooling appliance in my house, I had a miserable night's sleep due to the heat. Irony, how thou mocks me!

I had a wicked cool dream last night (heat induced most likely). That particulars are pretty fuzzy but it was an ego gratifying dream where I was being honored for being an expert on Dark Culture. All sorts of luminaries (wait...is that the right word for the stars of dark culture?) or maybe I should call them blackholaries were in attendence to this grand fete. Admittedly, in my dream all these people were very generic, no one I actually know or know of, but I'd like to think that among the writers Stephen King and Clive Barker were there, among the film makers Tim Burton and David Lynch were in attendance, and of the rest LeVay's daughters, the head of the OTO, Illuminati, Circle Sanctuary (okay, they aren't 'Dark' but they do perform nifty Samhain rituals), and others were there.

The dream was mainly being in a castle like building, stone corridors and sconces on the walls, being led into a large ballroom that was appropriately decorated. I was then taken to a throne like chair on a dais where select individuals were seating at long table to the right and left of me. One after another, people got up and raved about my wisdom and understanding, declaring me in some cases a peacemaker between differing traditions.

While this was a great dream, the reason I had the dram (at least the reason I assume) is because I've been watching Comedy Central at 10:00pm when I do my ab exercises. Normally the Daily Show is on which keeps my attention and lets me do a full 30 minutes of the crunches, but this week has been 'Roast Week' and Comedy Central has been airing the N.Y. Friar's Club Roast at this time. So I've been seeing people led up to a dias, set upon a beautiful chair, and 'honored' by people of the comedy industry. On top of this, I just finished the Fortean Times which always has a few articles of 19th mystics, cryptozology, UFO's, conspiracies, and strange unexplained phenomenon that may or may not be ghostly hauntings. I love the Fortean Times, and credit it for my 'academic' interest in Dark Culture which parallels my 'emotional' interest (vampires are interesting, werewolves are cool, horror movies give me a rush).

It has been awhile since I had a really cool dream though. I did dream about being invited over to The Osbournes once, but it was such a chaotic dream that even know it seems very ephemeral.
