New Dream Blog Post: "Tramps Like Us"

After nearly seven months on hiatus, I finally have a new post on my dream blog: "Tramps Like Us." It is pure folly to try to explain away most of the random things that pops up in dreams, but in this case I can say quite authoritatively that it was partly inspired by this clip from the Emmys:



I'm not a big Glee fan, so I don't know why this would snuck into my dream, although I love me some Tina Fey, Jorge Garcia, and Jon Hamm (the latter two both have some pretty rockin' voices). Also, I have no idea why so many of the dreams I've chronicled on my dream blog have scenes set in malls (such as "A Mall and the Night Visitors" and "ZCMI India"). I haven't gone to a mall in years, save for the dollar theater at Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor, and a vast majority of my dreams are strictly mall-free.

You know, one of my favorite things about writing on my dream blog, besides drawing illustrations in MS Paint, is giving my dreams a title. There's something about a title that makes an amorphous and fleeting thing like a dream feel more concrete and real, like a movie or a short story. Next time you have an interesting dream, try giving it a title - it's fun to think it up, and I guarantee you'll remember the dream better.
