Maria Dreams
Maria likes to talk in her sleep,
especially while she is dreaming and most especially when she is
having what I call a "Maria Dream". Unlike my own dreams
of death, destruction, being buried alive, prison, police chases
and hospital wards, hers are often about bumble bees with big eyes,
graham crackers, clouds and gingerbread men. Sometimes they are
about book covers. One time it was a about a penis wearing a clownshoe
as a hat. You read right. Just nod and lets move along....
So the way these things happen is that for example, as Maria is
asleep, I will be up on the computer working or reading something,
when suddenly she starts to giggle around and then says something
like "Hey you two gooftroops, this sidewalk is only for blue
goats!" At this point I leap into bed with her and start asking
her about the goats and rainbows and things. Sometimes we end up
having five minute conversations about the worlds she is submerged
in. This page will hopefully start to document some of these extraordinary
worlds and experiences. |

Purpose
April 2005 |
I'm playing Praetorious, a pretty aight game
where youre a Roman Legionaire guiding your armies through
conquests of Europe (Yes, I know..)..when
suddenly Maria starts to giggle. I leap into bed and ask her
what's so funny. She says that the book (some book she is
probably working on at work) actually sucks and that the cover
is too nice for the book. She then matter of factly mentions
that Gingerbread men are generally happy creatures that like
to dance and smile. I ask her if they ever get sad if they
dont get eaten, you know, like if all the gingerbread men
are taken but one, does that single one get sad from the shun.
She gets somewhat upset and says "POOR GINGERBREAD MEN,
DONT EAT THEM!" I tell her that gingerbread men were
made to be eaten and that being eaten was their purpose in
life, so sadness would only come from them not fullfilling
this purpose. She told me to stop wanting to eat them, to
just let them be, let them dance and play games. She reminded
me how cute they all are and how much she loves them. I said
fine, but dont get mad if you end up having to keep all these
gingerbread men around the house. She mentioned that they
could all live with her and do her laundry. Then flipped the
other way in the bed and elbowed me in the forehead. |
Punk'D
April 2005 |
Maria dreamt that her boss called her saying she had to go
to California for a conference...she sayd no way and then
the boss immediately said, "Youve been PUNKED!"
Thats it..I told her it may be the worst episode of Punk'd
ever.
