So way back last winter, I posted about dreams and how I wasn't having them anymore and also how SAD this made me because I think writers should dream vigorously and pay attention while they're doing it. And many of you offered suggestions about how I could up my dream quotient, including Kerry who suggested I break something because pain helps trigger dreams. Apparently that's why I broke MY WRIST. Thank you very much for the suggestion, Kerry!
Anyhoo! I did dream twice last night. Here's what I dreamed:
1) I dreamed I was telling a really long story to a group of people and realized halfway into it that I was being comletely boring.
2) I dreamed that I noticed a boy in a cast whose upper arm was as flabby as mine because his muscles had atrophied, too.
These are the kind of dreams I put into a category called GRUBBY LITTLE DREAMS. Included (for me) in this category are dreams where I try on swimsuits and the sales clerks laugh at me or where I step into sprinkler holes and trip in front of my old junior high school.
Meanwhile, Stephenie Meyer dreams about golden, glistening vampires swirling about in meadows.

gah! Did I really suggest you break something?!
Lately I keep thinking that I remember my dreams only to find out, no, that really happened. (Ambien. Good times.)
Reunion = Self Consciousness
You're gorgeous, you're a genius, and you're going to have a great time.
Trying on swimsuits is a recipe for depression no matter who you are.
I've read all of your books, I've never read one by Stephenie Meyer, so my personal statistics are in your favor 100%.
Ugh. I did try on a swim suit today. If a clerk had been there she would have laughed.
Oh, and just like Lucinda I've read your books but not Stephenie Meyer's.
Dream #1 is a nightmare. Dream #2 is grubby.
That name--grubby little dreams--is perfect. Ugh. And they do make you feel kind of like that--grubby and little.
Ha ha ha! You are hilarious Ann.
Speaking of dreams.. had one last night, but his part is real...sent Ms off on Wed. The dream: Nice editor I sent it too said, "your voice is nice, but..." and then she told me all the things she hated about it, then morphed into an editor who I know who is notoriously MEAN...and then we were sitting in New Jersey on the set of The Real Housewives...ugh. Grubby grubby.
