If I keep having weird Dreams I can stop renting DVD's and save a small fortune. As Odette mentioned I had been unable to sleep due to a medication side effect. Wrist pain. Normally I can deal very well with pain but I don't even think this pain was really there. I have a Doctor's appointment in the morning so hopefully a working change is in order.
Doctor's can be very insensitive to pain. I had an ER Doctor say I couldn't have Kidney stones because I had walked in an stated the pain level as a 7 on scale of 10. I told him " My 10 was spinal meningitis, 9 was a spinal tap and 8 is fourth day of a migraine." Then I lifted my shirt to show a scar on my left abdomen. " That was a stabbing, it was a 4 ". My own Doc was also my best friend at the time and he got a laugh out of the other Doctors description of my pain tolerance. They did give me a shot of demerol and I spent the next few hours telling my Daughter that if I could " Fart " the pain would go away and I would be fine. Took all of the poor girls self control not to laugh at me. I have to credit her she didn't. The hardest pain I ever had to deal with was when SHE had her tonsils out ( can't take codine ).
Back to Dreams, Last night's stars were Evil Dracula vs Bart ( Van Helsing ) Simpson. Poor Count didn't have a chance and the fight would have taken much less time if Van Helsing's Monk inventor partner's invented things that work they way they were supposed to. ( Homer as a Monk there's another one for dreams ). In case any of you ever do run into a Vampire I will save one of Homer's mistakes. The bubbles in Beer do not qualify it as Hole ee water. In the end the Dire Count was defeated when trapped by The Sun having risen at the end of the Alley the Italian Chef's garlic fueled breath as he closed shop. And Van Bartling on the Roof armed with a Cross bow with Silver tipped wooden arrows dipped in water blessed by Saint Lisa. He could of gotten away if not for his compulsion to stop to count everything. ( Too much seseeme street as a child ).
If I could find a way to put these dreams into a pill for mass market I would be rich. Except for the darn side effects.
Maybe we could sell a TV network a reality show where "celebrities" act out the dreams of ordinary people.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Mimi. My everday life is weird enough so my Dreams are extreme. I worked 29 years for Transit mostly on the subway system. Had 8 years as an Army officer ( which came in very handy on the subway ). Have 3 larger than life brothers. One of them who makes "Charlie Sheen" in Two & a Half Men look like the Dali Lamma. Another who was once asked "How does the TV work?" and spent 25 minutes explaining AM & FM Modulation and demodulation how rasters are drawn by a picture tubes yoke etc before realizing they couldn't figure out how to turn it on. My Dad is too Zen to be the Dali Lamma and my Mother put up with raising all of us.
ReplyDeleteFor my dreams they would need a whole network. I've even got a name for it. The Damn We Should have Censored This Network.
what could possibly be the side effect? turning loony for once can be more attractive with the way things are going around the world!
ReplyDeletemaybe the chaos will stop if people started having funny dreams, no?
xoxoxoxo
Possible side effects include enlarged breasts ( on Men ) exesive facil and testicular hair on women. Higher Blood Pressure Lower IQ errections lasting longer than 8 hours if there is no female around and inabilty to achive one if there is. Balding ( both sexes ) sudden loud extremely fragrant flatulence in crowded public places. Loss of appetite with huge weight gain. Craving for sushi accompanied with inablity to realize wasabi is not gucamole. For further possible side effects read the enclosed 86 volume pamphlet written in 42 languages none of which I can read.
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaaaah yes. The wonderful world of side effects. My man boobs are big enough thank you very much. Women with facial hair I've seen. More often than I had ever thought possible. I'm sure you didn't mean it this way but, if women could grow testicular hair, men would become opsolete overnight.
ReplyDeleteEver since Viagra commercials came out, I've often told my friends that, if I could get an erection for 4 hours or more, I'd call every escort service in the phone book and have them send as many escorts as possitlbe. Then, I'd have a one man orgy. Now THAT's what I call going out in a "Bang". :D
I had a kindney stone as well, about 10 years ago. At the time it was the worst pain I'd ever had. I didn't walk in to see my doctor I hobbled. lol I had to ask the x-ray tech several times to get me something for the pain. About an hour later she FINALLY called my doctor.
The absolute worst pain was the first time I had pancriatitis. Felt like I was hit with a cannon ball. It took about 8 hours for the morphine drip to kick in. But, I hope I never have to say those are only a 7 on the pain scale like you can Sid. Not my idea of good times.
As far as dreams, if mine could be turned into movies they'd be the highest grosing horror/phsycho flicks in movie history. I sure could use the money though.
Apparently the Viagra people have problems that people phone everyone they know to brag about long lasting erections before they get around to the doctor. It was there commercials that were my inspiration that led that part of the post. I can read the channel listings faster than the tv can list them which gets my Mom mad. But viagra has so many side effects that they run them over the screen more then twice as fast as I read.
