Baseless Dream Interpretation

Faith tells us about a dream where she and a friend are dogs (and also small naked human creatures) running through a busy market trying to find food to eat while evading many kinds of danger. We spend some time trying to untangle the concept of instinctual versus learned behaviour, Avalon goes on a tangent about cuttlefish, and Angharad compares the whole province of Alberta to a marketplace full of knives being thrown. (Real life spoiler: Faith made it to the forest! And we are very happy about it). (content warning: cursing).

Mallory tells us about a dream which is a complete song and music video for a new (and nonexistent) Harry Styles single. We marvel at the clarity of this vision, Avalon talks for over 6 minutes about why Harry Styles is a human angel and an ambiguously queer icon for our times, we discuss various dairy products and our relationships with them, and Angharad speaks the phrase "peanut butter cheese evangelist" (content warning: cursing).

Zoe tells us about a recurring childhood dream where she and her brother sneak their way into a NO KIDS ALLOWED meeting of fictional villains that their dad is attending. We have divergent initial interpretations of the connotations of "cheese and crackers," and discuss the possibilities of conflating boring things with evil things. We wonder what Zoe's dad was up to attending this meeting in the first place.

Anonymous tells us about a dream where she gets on a plane and realizes she has forgotten everything that she meant to bring with her. We talk about the existential angst that can come from not knowing what the point of a travel experience has been, the category of anxiety dreams where our brains are giving us important reminders, and the kinds of things that happen when our brains don't give us those reminders (content warning: cursing).

Emma tells us about a dream where she spends the day blissfully cliff jumping into a blue lagoon, without worrying that her teeth are all coming loose. We think about aging, periods of transition, and what it looks like to be flexible to changing experiences (content warning: cursing).

Greg tells us about a dream where he is part of the entourage of an up-and-coming band, when suddenly disaster strikes and some morbidly hilarious shenanigans ensue. We talk about taking unnecessary measures to resolve problems, getting past imposter syndrome, and consider whether Greg's subconscious is more sinister than it first appears (content warning: cursing).

Rena tells us about a dream where she has a premonition about the weather. We go on a tangent where Angharad baselessly interprets a dream Avalon had many years ago, and then we baselessly theorize about whether time and fate exist, and what the purpose of premonition dreams might be.

Liana tells us about a dream where their ex sends them a message, and then when they wake up in real life they find that this same ex has sent them a message while they were dreaming it. We try to sort premonition dreams into categories, talk about the blurred lines between magic and science, and consider what it means to have a connection with someone that is entirely based in the past (content warning: cursing).

Michael tells us about a dream where he tries to learn how to safely walk on clouds. We talk about looking for certainty within ambiguous situations, acro-yoga, and how often consequences act in unexpected and indirect ways.

Tony tells us about a dream where his patience is pushed to a breaking point. We talk about dreams as outlets for otherwise unexpressed emotions, and about the ways in which we all learn about being annoying/getting annoyed during childhood.
