Last night I had a dream that one of my friends and I met up with an old elementary school teacher of ours and had some beers with him at his house. In true dream fashion, he was younger than he was 15 years ago when he taught me and looked totally different.
At one point in the dream he was bringing another round of beers out of the kitchen and I noticed the lack of a wedding ring on his finger just as he handed me a beer and said "Well, what do you think? Is it time for old Larry Mudd to settle down and get married?
It got all weird and fuzzy at that point but I do remember telling him that I was a doper to, though he didn’t recognize the name.
The weird thing is that I don’t know the first thing about Larry Mudd. I don’t think we’ve ever interacted on the boards.
I had a dream that Eve set me up with Frankie Rayder. I started a thread about it, and Eve made a joke and I almost paniced (sp?) at the billion-to-one chance that it wasn’t a joke. My face was red.
Yep; I had a dream in which iampunha appeared, a few weeks ago. Like your drea, I see him around the boards but we’ve never interacted. I didn’t post about it at the time, 'cause it was an ugly, uncomfortable dream, and I wouldn’t have wanted him to think it meant I disliked him, 'cause I doon’t, but now I can’t remember what it was about.
Maybe there’s something magical and subconsciously delicious about iampunha’s name…because I think about that username at the most random moments. Sitting at the stoplight. Watching TV. Driving. Mostly while driving in general. And I always think of it in a myriad of pronunciations, all in a row. There’s something about that username that I can’t get out of my head. But no actual dreams (yet).
I had a dream a month or so ago that I was being given my grade in a class, and Polycarp started arguing with the professor that I should be given a lower grade because I was a bad person or something. I wish I had any idea why this dream happened!
I’ve had a few. At least two about vivalostwages, three or four about Tiburon, about as many about Nocturne, and there’ve been some others, like **Xan **and athelas, that’ve played supporting roles in the dreams that the aforementioned Dopers starred in.
I’ve also had dreams where I’ve been reading the board or having some sort of online interaction proving I have no life.
So are we just talking about purely social dreams, and not other kinds of dreams we’ve had about Dopers whom we’ve met in person and/or seen photographs?
Then, no. I’ve never had a dream like that. That would be just weird.
I was social with all the people I dreamed about and was even the best man at Nocturne’s wedding so I wasn’t dreaming of totally random people. Can’t speak for anyone else though.
Cheers!
Uh, sorry to bump a thread that’s a bit over the threshold… I guess I should do vanity searches more frequently, or not all, or something.
Your OP made a little twitch on my spookymeter. Ever since my best friend’s wedding in June, my Muddy marriagability has pretty much been the center of my anxieties. (Ditched a casual girlfriend because it was one of those mutually-gratifying-but-totally-impractical scenarios, started putting more energy into arranging things so I can actual save some money instead of being satisfied with just doing what pleases me even though it always seems to bring in slightly less than is required to live comfortably, etc…)
Anyway, the closest thing (that I remember, anyway) to a dream about another Doper was one in which I went to retrieve something from a neighbor’s yard, and noticed that they had a dog dish that said “Opalcat” on it. I thought to myself, “Heh, Opalcat will be amused to find out that there’s a dog named after her.” Then I noticed that the dish was actually a huge basin. “Must be a big dog,” I thought. I start nervously looking around the yard, interested now in the dog’s actual whereabouts. I see the yard is littered with the dog’s leavings. They’re monstrous. I’m frozen to the spot until I wake up in a cold sweat, giggling.
I dreamt about Eve a few months ago, and I think Already In Use appeared in one of my dreams. I don’t remember those, though.
Today I took a nap and Keapon Laffin was in my dream. I was at a food court and Keapon was eating a Big Mac. He looked like Lebron James. He had a sign that had his name on it, like those little signs that you put at everyone’s place when you have a dinner party and actually care where everyone sits. That’s how I knew it was him.
