My dream, from 7-8 this morning:
I screened a movie for friends. There had been a murder on a campus, which created fear and chaos. A dashing young vampire took the opportunity to ingratiate himself with a beautiful woman and her friend. While they were all at his apartment, the power went out, and he went to light candles, but the match wouldn’t catch. Somehow, this affected time, both forwards and backwards. Suddenly, the woman and her friend didn’t find him charming anymore, among other problems (him becoming a suspect in the murder).
More people had come over to watch the movie halfway through. They were complaining about it (one complainer was played by the same actor who was Dr. Cox in Scrubs). Our power went out, and I started to light candles as I explained what they had missed in the beginning. Did I mention the meta-ness when my candles didn’t catch? Yes. Did I tell people that the movie was Sliding Doors, but with vampires? Yes. Did I suggest that we all watch Shadow of the Vampire? Yes.
How do I know this was my 7-8 dream? Because I also woke up at 7, from a dream in which Melissa and I were going to a play in the Bay area. We took Thoth and Graymalkin with us, dropping them off in an empty lab on the Berkeley campus on the way. When we returned, the lab was covered in litter. The professor who ran the lab was a very hot guy in a wheelchair. He was telling me I didn’t have to clean it up if I would go out on a date with him. I explained I had a fiancé. He said, “I can tell you’re still attracted to me.” I explained that having a fiancé didn’t mean other people became unattractive, and I was relieved he knew I thought he was hot, because I didn’t want him to think being in a wheelchair was the reason I wouldn’t go out with him.
Interpretations:
I watch a lot of movies.
I want people to know I’m woke.
I’m impotent, since I couldn’t get the match to catch, but so was the vampire.
