I love Finnegans Wake.

[Frumple]

I love Finnegans Wake.

Nothing wrong with that.

D'you have a preferred performer?

[kisame12794]

You thinks thats weird? Go look at what he does in einsteineian roulette.

Okay, so I told my LF about what MZ thought her dream meant. And she asked me to ask my, and I quote, 'Internet friends', "What does it mean if you have a dream where you kill someone?"

So. Any ideas?

Trying to figure out how to communicate with a team in China... their e-mail and instant messages are broken; and I have no clue what their phone numbers are... came into work just to check on them remotely...

Psychoanalysis is a lie and anyone who tells you what a dream purports to mean are making a guess, if that.

Depends on who it is. Stranger? Aquaintance? Family? Boss?

This is most likely.

I'm guessing either close personal friend or lover.

[Frumple]

Probably depends on the why, how, the when/where, and the who. I mean, there's a lot of different ways and reasons to kill someone, and who they are changes things up, as can the situation involved.

But seriously, I've got no clue. I've never really had much luck with dream interpretation. Mine tend not to fall into any particularly normal pattern, unfortunately(?). So the standard "It might mean this" just... doesn't really fit. My subconscious mostly seems to like to world build, and prefers a neat story to anything else, including my own wishes. Mumblemutter. One day I'll have one of those falling dreams or somethin'. Or standard social anxiety!dream or whatever. That day is not yet here!

And then mostly what Wrex said. While it amuses me, I've often been fairly well convinced it's bunk, or at least so heavily dependent on individual factors (up to and including brain structure) that generalizations are mostly useless~

[Xantalos]

Yep.

[Hanslanda]

This makes sense. I've had falling dreams btw, but never social anxiety dreams. In my dreams, I've got balls of steel. I do what I want.

I turn roadsides into lego chesspieces via hadoken from the rear of a school bus, and then get chased by the pieces as they assemble into a golem. While awesome music plays.

That was a good one. It made sense in context. People had superpowers (or could simulate them via spoken word... like somatic verbal casting kicked up to the nines, given to schoolchildren.), mine was to turn things into lego chess pieces via hadoken blast.

Alternately, alien xenomorph in living room. That one was less pleasing. But it was interesting. They're all interesting. It gets somewhat annoying, honestly...

[Karnewarrior]

Falling in my dreams always immediately wakes me up. And as soon as I wake up the dream starts fading real quick, and my brain is too slow to write anything down so it fades away or is rewritten into a waking, lucid mishmash of imagination and dreaming.

I sleep weird.

[Meansdarling]

I remember having the falling, wake up as you hit dream.
It was scary the first time but then I dreamed it on purpose for fun and haven't had it since.

As for killing people in a dream, I've never done it.
I've had the impression of fighting others and defeating them but it's so non specific that there is no guilt or emotion involved.

Having an intense dream of killing someone actually sounds like a good time to me.
I wonder what sort of emotions it would bring up... Would I feel guilty during or after the dream?
Would I be terrified of what I could do IRL afterwards? Would it simply be a rush, enjoyable even?

I've have dreams where I may as well call it genocide. They are rather enjoyable in context.
