Random Thoughts 3

Just a little weird thing.

The other night, I was asleep on my couch and I woke up to my son shaking me telling me I was blue. Okay, before you throw a cog, I don't think I was blue. I was in the shadows and glow of my christmas tree lights, so I think I appeared blue.

But, what's weird about this, when he shook me awake, I was dreaming about my grandmother, who is deceased, and I was standing outside the door to a room where she sat up in bed. She was a much younger woman, probably in her 30s, but I knew it was my grandma. (She died at 85).

I was so happy to see her. She looked over her shoulder at me and I gave a goofy wave and started crying.

In the dream. I didn't wake up crying.

Any dream interpreters out there?

It's not easy being blue.




That is seriously weird.

I have always heard that when you dream of a loved one who's died, they are visiting you. It may be for a message or mainly just to provide comfort.

P.S. Glad you weren't dying!

I needed comfort. It was so nice to see her. I wish we could've had a conversation.

P.S. me too!

I’m surprised you weren’t dreaming about Elvis, what with a Blue Christmas and all...

I think Scarlett Johansson is quite selfish. She accepted a role in Ghost in the Shell that should’ve gone to an Asian. She also accepted a role in Rub & Tug that was meant for a trans actor before she was pressured to turn it down. She shouldn’t have been nominated for 2 Oscars. She is not as talented as Jennifer Lopez or Lupita Nyong’o. Scarlett also betrayed her own gender when she defended Woody Allen, but I won’t say anything else about that topic.

 

[Dana Jean]

Mur - cure - ree with emphasis on the first syllable.

Okay, I say this one wrong. I say Mer - cur - ree. Emphasis on the first syllable.

He says it. Then I say it. He says it. I say it.

He laughs and says, "Mom, you're saying that wrong."

I think I pronounce "f**k you" perfectly.
