Then there are those other kinds of dreams, the ones that happen when you’re supposed to be resting peacefully to the visions of REM.
Have you ever dreamed about another blogger? I know I have before but right now I can’t remember who it was.
And then there was last night….I remember (ahem) quite a lot.
I dreamed about Jenny, 1/5 of the Houston Drama Mamas, and aka The Bloggess**. Funny thing is, it’s not like I was up-to-date in reading…just today I blog-hopped the Fun Monday peeps.
So, what’s in a dream featuring Jenny, the apparently "hot and bothered" Mama?
I was at her house. I had "to go"…yeah, t h a t. She graciously offered for me to use her master bathroom. And get this: she had a computer IN HER BATHROOM…and there was a "Bloggess" page up with a bunch of comments and I accidentally deleted all of them by just TOUCHING the screen! AND, she had a book on her king-sized psychedelic bed appropriately titled "The Bloggess" and it looked old and ragged, kind of like a Reader’s Digest condensed book; the front 2/3 were an autobiography, the last 1/3 just posts of hers (I had to thumb through it, I was most impressed). And no, I didn’t see any of her 1,400 glass animals. Not one (I was cheated).
And then she walked in the room, and I couldn’t "go" at that point, and that’s all I remember. And that’s enough. And even if I did remember anything "hot and bothered" else, I wouldn’t tell you because I fully understand that listening to other people’s dreams is about as exciting as watching an ice cube melt.
But does this make me a blog stalker?
p.s. The kids and I went back-to-school shopping today…and this is a present I would’ve gotten Jenny if SHE was going back to school. Maybe she could use it to carry her laptop in…hmmmm….

I freaking love the dream. Hilarious….now I am off to go check out those contests!
Last night I had a long, vivid dream about a cousin of mine I only know through blogging–we’ve never met in real life.
$2500? Insane. I thought Ree’s prize for today of $300 was darn generous.
Now that’s just weird. The dream, that is, not the contests, although the adjective could be applied to both subjects.
Then again, who am I to talk about weird dreams? I’ve had my share.
Nikki, watch out, you might be next!
Kila, I haven’t come up with anything ORIGINAL yet for Ree’s do-flotchy…
Heather, I guess the weirdest part is I dreamed-and-told ;).
HEE HEE –
I have had one dream about a bloger. It involved Matt from Animal Mind….no, it wasn’t kinky. He was just there, in my dream (I can’t remember now – it was way back in March)
I watched her hot and bothered video, too.
It reminded me I was old and bothered by hot flashes.
I can’t decipher your dream.
I can tell you that late afternoon caramel machiatto may have been the clincher.
I just laughed so hard I brought concerned people into my office!
PS. There really is a computer in my master bathroom. I blog while Hailey’s “swimming” in the tub. Next time you come I’ll give you a personal tour and have some high-fiber snacks for you.
Pamela…ha! If only I could’ve blamed it on THAT!
Jenny, gracious, no, chile! I might not be able to demonstrate my total.body.control. if I eat those!!! I’ve GOT to see your bathroom, though…seriously, A COMPUTER???
Well, not a whole computer. Just a laptop. And a charger. And my camera uplink. And sometimes a printer. But I mean a whole computer…THAT would be crazy.
*cough*
Jenny,
Is there something wrong with crazy??
Robin, I’ve used Jenny’s bathroom many, many times…even though I’ve only been to her house once. The cool thing about her having a computer in there is that while you’re sitting there, you can change all her passwords. She keeps sending me e-mails crying because her computer won’t acknowledge her. I laugh and laugh.
