Dream One
This is a picture of the first dream I ever remember remembering. It was drawn on the back of the August 6 page from an old Get Fuzzy desk calendar. (I'm running out of pages. I need to get another desk calendar.) I started this with a number 2 pencil. Eek! It's becoming a habit! Then I inked over it with my gel roller, (I love my gel roller!) and of course finished by coloring it in Photoshop.I had just turned four when I had this dream. I can't believe I still remember it. In the dream five brightly colored giraffes were standing around an oasis taking turns drinking. My family was living in Springfield and it was the sixties so who knows what I inhaled before going to bed that night.
I was so excited about the dream; I couldn't wait to go to bed the next night so I could dream about the giraffes again. The next few nights when I went to bed I would force myself to think about them as I was falling asleep. I never did dream about the giraffes again but I can still remember the dream vividly.
Do you remember any of your dreams from childhood? Do you love me?

Hi Loves-
I just wanted to apologize for not being around much this week. It turned out to be another busy week for me. (sigh) I'll try to catch up this weekend. :-)

Childhood dreams...hmmmm...something about me on a bed and flying up to greet the moon. I, too, am a product of the sixties.
I love your giraffes...and I love you. :)

When I was a kid (in the sixties), in the ceiling of my grandmothers' bathroom,over the shower, was the little access opening to the attic.For some reason, there was never a cover over it. When you took a shower, you could see up into the creepy blackness. My Dad always told my brother and me that Soap Sally lived up there.I pictured an old deathly pale hag with zombie eyes and soapy hair. Needless to say, showers were quick. I think I had quite a few dreams about Soap Sally.(...oh,my Dad really is a very sweet man!)

I remember dreaming of a wonderful bowl of fruit and realising that I was about to wake up I put some under my pillow... but was very disappointed to find that they were not there....
love your giraffes... shame you didn't manage to get back into the dream, as a child I could do that quite often... do you still try? (not necessarily with giraffes...;-)
love you
love your giraffes

I do remember dreaming of Deborah Harry Dreaming:
When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure
A movie or a measure?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me We just walk on by - we just keep on dreaming
Feet feet, walking a two mile
Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him, I'll never forget him
Dream dream, even for a little while
Dream dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Love
PS Because the spots are squares is this a move to Cubism?

You can have a good laugh with a snazzy giraffe. And a rip-roaring party with five of them!
Earliest dream: I was being attacked by a lion and/or a tiger, but I suddenly realised that I was a turtle, and that I was safe and sound in my turtle shell. (Good thing some turtle soup lovers didn't enter the dream)
My word verifier is HWOOF! Which has got to be giraffian for LOVE!

I am a very vivid dreamer. I used to do a lot of "dream work", for lack of a better term, I'm actually pretty good at directing my dreams. I'm sure it's due to trying to focus my dreams at a young age. Not so much lately though. I've been stressed out and focused on other things.

detlef: I have dreamed of Deborah Harry once or twice myself. I loved her in Videodrome. Remember her song "French Kissing in the USA"? The first few times I heard that song I thought it was a really long ad for some restaurant. I thought they were singing Best Chicken in the USA. :-)

Since I have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast this morning...remembering the details of a childhood dream is out of the question...but I vaguely remember something to do with a peacocks on my swingset.
love. :)

I think you must have been in SouthPark's Springfield!! (Which Springfield was it?)
I remember a dream of LOTS of yellow and red trains (I think they were the California Super Chief's) slithering over and under each other like a pile of night crawlers. It was scary, and I was unable to untangle them or make sense of it. Actually, that's pretty much how my childhood was.
Glad you liked my insects! I like your bad art button, too. I think I'll take the cat one and put it on my side bar, OK?

I remember my earliest childhood dream. There were giraffes in it, psychedelic giraffes from some strange veldt.
And they were all gathered round asking me for ...
love.

a creative journey: Ha. We had the same dream. Maybe it was all part of some government mind control project. That would explain the micro-chip in my ear.

Freud had enough problems working out just one giraffe - five is a real worry! Nice pic though!
