i dreamed i insulted lij and viggo

[lobelia321]

I had a weird dream. The following people figured in it: azewewish, blythely, a friend from my days at high school whom I haven't seen since 1984, plus three Lotr actors: Elijah, Viggo and a third (Orlando?). Also: old man repairing bicycles.



I was in a foreign city (or possibly in Berlin? which isn't foreign for me but in the dream felt foreign). I visited and planned to hang out with these friends of mine in this apartment very high up, with dizzying views of the city. One of them seemed to be Brenda, one of them was my high-school friend, one of them was skinny, pale and had dark-aubergine hair and claimed to be blythely. They were all quite stand-offish with me and hardly spoke. The atmosphere was very difficult. There were also these three Lotr actors but I clung to the women and tried to socialise with them except that they were so cold and spoke mainly to each other and to the Lotr actors.

One of the women claimed to be blythely. I said, "But you don't look anything like her." "Yes," she replied shortly, "I'm her. I'm (blythely's real name)." I remembered that blythely had recently changed her hair but here, her face and figure were also completely changed.

After some awkward moments, involving having to go to the toilet in adverse conditions (don't these dreams always involve that?) and losing school-friend's umbrella out in the streets, I finally summoned up some annoyance and told the women angrily that I thought they were rude and that I would go now. I prepared to slam the door but then I opened it again and shouted at Lij and Viggo et al.:

"And you're just some mediocre actors in some mediocre films!"

After that, there were actually some invitations to stay so I talked a bit more -- the atmosphere was still not great but there was a bit of cold chitchat.

Towards the end, some life-size styrofoam sport planes flew through the sunlit streets, and the entire apartment started rotating on its axis. It was some kind of experimental architecture, with all these pod-like apartments jutting out and revolving like caroussels. I cried, "Oh, how terrible", and so forth.

End of dream.

That's rather interesting.

Do you often have social anxiety type dreams? I often seem to have dreams about school reunions, or just parties or occasions at which all these people from my past suddenly crawl out of the woodwork and start mingling with people I know now and it's really uncomfortable.

Interesting that they invited you back in after you started insulting them!

I know, isn't it!!! So it started out anxious and ended up kind of empowering. I don't often have dreams where people don't like me in that way of this dream but I do dream of being in odd cities, in weird buildings, to do with planes, and not being able to go to the loo in peace. I have never dreamed of Lij and Viggo before!!!!

I once had a dream that I was in LA (where I've never been) looking for some public toilets. I looked for them for what seemed like hours, and kept being thwarted in all sorts of ways. There were Hockney style swimming pools all over the place. It was a very dull dream.
