Dreams with unsubtle hints

[davidn]

I had a dream about cutting somebody up with an axe, depositing the resultant pieces into a bucket and then carrying them up to a top-floor flat to use them as feed for a collection of carnivorous plants.

I can recall very little about dream interpretation, but I can guess that this combination of scenes means that you're probably a psychopath.

It's extraordinary how dream logic just... seems to make sense, even though you know things shouldn't work like that when you're awake! Were the sunglasses, for example, an attempt to disguise the fact that it wasn't human, or were they there for any other identifiable reason? :)

In dream logic the horse just happened to be wearing sunglasses. Not even an attempt at disguise!

Man, that is one cool horse.

When I was much younger, I once dreamt that we were out of cookies, so I went to the Oreo mine in our backyard to go mine some more. This made perfect sense until I woke up.

That one is quite wonderful :) It puts me in mind of the... I don't know what the word for an "in-joke" is when applied to an entire country, but... treacle mining, anyway. It might make more sense if you're a Discworld kind of person - and despite knowing you for a long time, I can't remember if you are...

In my own stress dreams (which curiously enough don't usually involve murdering people), I'll always have to... actively do something like that to achieve a task, like dreaming about having to define and instantiate a hospital the night before having to go there.
