I find I feel like that a lot. I think I've always been able to related to Prufrock, personally so it makes sense.

I actually really felt like that today on the bus coming home after class.

I read the title as "Wet Dream"

I've had some few weird dreams, I might turn it into a novel at some point.

[Severed Djed]

I have some really oddball dreams on a fairly regular basis.

Sometimes I have dreams similar to ones I've had before. Occasionally I'll have full-blown sequels.

I had a cool one a while back. I discovered I was just walking then I notice I'm flying. But when I'm flying I'm not flying in a straight line. I go back and forth like I'm in a harness.

I tell myself I better land to go back home but I then I think I'm to cautious so I decide against it. So I fly a great distance, very slow because of the back an fourth flying. I'm flying over snow capped mountains when I start to come down to Earth. And I"m somewhere over Europe.

I'm looking for a spot to land when I see a car that's going to crash into a lake. I fly after it, but again I'm flying to slow. I don't make it in time to pull the guy out before he hits the water. I'm screaming at him to open the doors so I can pull him out but he's in no danger, the water is just like two feet deep. I make gestures for him to open the sunroof and he does.

I pull him out but we fall off into the lake. When we're in the water it's deeper than before. We struggle to land and I notice the guy is a guy I used to know called Kyle. We get up and go to a restraunt that's right next to the lake. The restraunt is a typical restraunt you see on beaches in Mexico. We order food then I leave to the bathroom.

I'm peeing in the urinal but the urinal isn't against the wall like they regularly are. It's on a short wall and you can see the stall from there. Anthony Bordane walks in to use the stall but it's out of order. I think "cool it's Anthony Bordane." But then he walks behind me and trys to pull me away form the urinal and I yell "Anthony Bordaine is trying to see my penis." I wasn't holding on to anything but he couldn't pull me away.

I finish peeing and we have a big laugh but then the bathroom catches fire. It starts spreading from the direction of the stall out to where we are. We skedaddle and there's a crowd watching the place burn down. We join them and I feel a great warmth from the fire and being with the people enjoying the blaze. There might have also been a girl with Kyle and his sidekick Crazy Larry.

I've had the sequel dreams before, too...

And I have a recurring theme in my dreams, from time to time. A lot of the time, I dream I have powers, usually flight, but sometimes Matrix-y "The One" type powers. And I KNOW I have them, and I use them early in the dream.... but they gradually disappear through the course of the dream.

Like, at the beginning of the dream, I can fly just fine, and do. Next time I try, I might be only able to hover a few feet over the ground. And the next time after that, I fall on my face trying and failing.

Things like that.

my most reacuring dream finds me in my old neighborhood being chased down the sidewalk by three guys with suits and dark sunglasses. Then at some point I realize I'm dreaming and can do what I want, so I take off and start flying high into the sky. I get so excited and automatically fly right to New York City where I soar between and above the skyscrapers. It's always a beautiful summer night and the lights of the city are mesmerizing. I can hear the street noise below and the warm breeze on my face.

It's always the same dream and I have it two or three times a year. Everytime it ends I wake up a bit sad.

Niet? Thoughts?

I used to have a lot of flying dreams. My favorites were when I flew over a wheat field on a clear sunny day. I'd be high in the deep blue sky and then skim six inches above the wheat at top speed.

Boy were those dreams cool.

The realisation that you're dreaming and the ability to affect and lead the dream is very rare and powerful: it's called lucid dreaming, and it's quite a mental feat.

Aside from that, this dream is about getting away from both the mundanity and everyday dangers of regular life and flying. Flight tends to represent freedom and joy.

I have to say, it's very telling how many of us Superhero lovers have dreams of flight. Deep down, we can still access the inner child and that can only be a good thing.

What about how I was flying in my dream? It was like i was on a harness being pulled back and forth but I could go into any direction I wanted.

It's about any potential freedom you have being curtailed. You feel as though you can go in any direction so long as you stay within the parameters that have been set for you, either by others or by you yourself.

I don't have many reoccurring or continuing dreams, but I do have a reoccurring alternate reality.
I dream a pretty definitive and detailed alternate version of the part of the Bronx where I grew up. I could probably draw a map.

I don't think I'm alone in this as it reminds me of the alternate reality in King and Straub's The Talisman in that key places and streets are there only closer together and maybe rearranged a little

You should read Charles De Lint's Newford stories. There's a lot of that kind of thing there...

Thanks, I'll get something from Amazon after my next trip to a Coinstar machine.

The best place to start is with Dreams Underfoot, the first short story collection.

I was just gonna ask.
Poking around a bit and this stuff sounds right up my alley.
Reminds me that I had an idea years ago for a children's fantasy set in Housing Projects.
