Girl mouse/weasel dream

[clevermanka]

It's been a while since I remembered a dream, and it's been a long time since I had a dream like this one. For those who don't know, I have crazy dreams. At least the ones I remember are pretty weird. And awesome. Not only are the subjects usually pretty freaky, but sometimes the formatting is wonderfully weird. Once I dreamed in comic book strips where I had to actually read the word balloons. As a kid, I regularly dreamed in animation. Sometimes I dream in black and white, or sepia, or sometimes everything is different shades of a color. When I was taking sign language classes, I dreamed conversations in sign. Anyway. This dream!

It was a musical. This used to happen when I was a kid, too. Lots of Disney-type musicals, with big orchestral numbers and everything. This morning's dream was a little more tame, with just one or two people singing at a time. Except they weren't people--they were stop-motion animation animals with mouths that moved appropriately, like the animals in Babe. The plot was about some sort of evil...someone? I don't know...trying to take over the animal's town (they were very anthropomorphized, to the point of wearing clothes). And it was up to this girl mouse/weasel (I'm not sure which--most of the characters were of a relative size, regardless of what animal they were) to save the day. There were big chase scenes, and drama and intrigue, and the girl mouse/weasel's lover was killed I think, because I remember feeling really sad for her at one point. Then at the end of the dream, little girl mouse/weasel was riding in a horse-drawn carriage (the horses must have been larger) with one of the other main characters and they were singing and everyone was really happy. I was so charmed that I broke the fourth wall and reached out to grab girl mouse/weasel's paw. I didn't see it externally--it was like a first-person shooter game where I saw my arm come out to reach for her. She seemed surprised but pleased, and she grabbed my hand and kept singing.

And then I decided it couldn't get any better than that, so I woke up.

Man, my dreams are awesome.

Awesome.

I know! Singing mice/weasels!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

That is so COOL! And it would make an awesome illustrated book. Just sayin'.

*I'm looking at you, M*

I wish I could remember more of the plot...

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Well, here's where you work up a new one!

This is strange to me because it seems so sickingly chipper. And that isn't something I associate with you. At. All.

On the other hand, it's so stupid cute that ONLY you would have this dream.

Huh.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ha!

No, most of my dreams aren't quite so chipper. They are, though, always very unusual.

pssst!

I know! Break out the champagne!

[anomali.livejournal.com]

Love it!

Hooray for wall-busting charm!

It speaks volumes about the normal weirdness of my dreams that the fourth-wall breaking (not the singing mice/weasels) was the strangest part of it, for me.

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

I think that is awesome. Did you intend to break the fourth wall, in a lucid dreaming kind of way?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

My dreams are always pretty lucid. I didn't want to interrupt the song, but I wanted to interact with the character. I didn't think to myself "I'm gonna break the fourth wall!" but that's how my subconscious solved the problem.

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

Ha! That is pretty awesome. I tend to have pretty bizarre dreams, when I can remember them. I used to keep a dream journal for when I did. Maybe I should do that again.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

You definitely should! Every dream I remember I document here on LJ. In fact, my very first LJ entry (http://chernobylred.livejournal.com/437.html) was telling a dream I'd had the night before.

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

It'd have to be old-fashioned pen and paper by the bed; I'll forget within ten seconds otherwise (but there's no reason I can't retell it on LJ later, for sure). I really hate my terrible dream retention sometimes, I've had some really kickass dreams in the past.

I had a dream that me, jim and harry all enlisted in the army, even though I don't remember doing it, but we must have because we all got letters telling us where to go for training and when and mine said i had to go to Saudi Arabia where i was going to get training in "communications" and I had to be there on April 2nd and when I read my letter I was all "i can't go on april 2nd! I mean, Jet is in school until May and I have to nanny through mid may!" so I started to write a letter seeing if I could have the date changed and I started it "Dear Army," ...

Really? "Dear Army,"? That's all my brain had for that bit? Jeeze.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

OMG "DEAR ARMY."

This made me laugh out loud.

What fun! (and damn you LJ, for once more NOT notifying me that my friends have posted or commented, hence the late arrival again)

Mouse or weasel? Did you check the teefies? :)

Have you ever had reading dreams? I've dreamt of reading something I wanted to know, and when I woke up, I knew it. It was pre-Internet, however, so I suppose now I'd be using my Google-fu.

I've dreamt of reading something I wanted to know, and when I woke up, I knew it.

I haven't! That sounds ... really handy, actually.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

I wish I could do it again. I wish you could teach that lucid dreaming bit.

In the immortal words of Keanau Reeves:

WHOAH

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

:D Wish it still happened.

[siro-gravity.livejournal.com]

that's awesome! I love remembering my dreams, and sometimes they stay with me for awhile. The reaching out part sounds really fun!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It was really cool! I don't remember that ever happening before.
