Feeling somewhat paralyzed with the amount of stuff I need to do. Right now, am being quasi-lazy by searching dafont.com for a calligraphy/script font that looks like it could be Rose Hannah's handwriting. Meanwhile, poor Vladimir is trying to get his White Noise presentation together for the new film commission--he's going to try again, even though he shouldn't have to, because the old one promised him funds after he won that screenwriting competition, and he'd gotten as far as casting before it fell apart last year.

Cleolinda : don't overwork yourself too badly
Cleolinda : me, I've started having mild heart palpitations

Vladimir: oh no!
Vladimir: rest!
Vladimir: leave what you're doing!
Vladimir: relax!
Vladimir: play with doggies!

Cleolinda : yeah, I took a nap before dinner and had bad dreams
Cleolinda : something about having to marry some Mexican Mafia kid, and I didn't want to, and a molar came out while I was sitting on the floor in some dark guest bedroom in my wedding dress, and the filling was made of black enamel and tiny round rhinestones, and I was so pissed that it had come out

Vladimir: heee
Vladimir: that's such a cool dream

Cleolinda : like, in retrospect, yeah, it was cool. At the time, it was ick

Vladimir: I guess

Cleolinda : also, it was a really frilly wedding dress. Like Lucy Westenra gecko-frilly

Vladimir: nice

Cleolinda: I didn't even know there was a Mexican Mafia

I wish it would stop raining so I could go sit outside in the sun with a drinky-drink.

I don't know if this helps, but 'teeth-falling-out' dreams are supposed to be good symbolically, although I can sympathise with the ick factor. I hate 'teeth-falling-out' dreams. My teeth are always ordinary. No jewel encrusted ones to speak of.

Oh, and wish Vladimir good luck with his film stuff.

there's actually a very specific meaning to losing teeth...but for the life of me i can't remember what it is. it's very close to the meaning of the tornado dreams i have all the time. neither my lost teeth nor my tornadoes are jewel-encrusted, though.

This completely comes from left field, but I LOVE your icon, puliqueen.

[alitaorg.livejournal.com]

thankee! feel free to spread the divine love. =)

[velveteenfaerie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I used to use that one.

[syrenssong.livejournal.com]

Wish Vladimir the best of luck with his film stuff.

Thanks

Seriously, thanks for the goodwill, you and everyone! It's really touching, what can I say... am very moved. (Still don't have my LJ, but then again I hadn't had my PC for most of June. HD crash and all.)

It's my third time applying, but it's also almost six years since I wrote the goddamn script, and it's a good one and everyone at the Berlin Film Festival said so (even though the producer of Dogville said it was too existential OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG), but I really haven't got much hope. The local climate is so not conducive to what I'm trying to do, and as I told Cleo a bit later in the conversation she excerpted from, even Arwen would have lost hope by now.

Even though Cleo *is* my Arwen, as much as anyone ever had an Arwen of his own. Even Royston Langdon, Liv's hubby, never had this much trust and hope bestowed upon him...

To dream that you have rotten or decaying teeth, forewarns that your health and/or business is in jeopardy. You may have uttered some false or foul words and those words are coming back to haunt you.

Per Dream Moods. It diesn't actually say what teeth falling out means. I've heard it's related to sexual frustration. I've also heard it's related to losing your sense of discernment. Which, I suppose is a byproduct of sexual frustration. Ho hum.

In other news, is this the rainiest summer on record or what? It's like this practically everywhere.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

For serious. I feel like a fungus over here. STOP RAINING PLZKTHNX.

I read that too--I could see how losing a tooth could be a good thing, in a losing-my-baby-teeth-all-grown-up way, but... this was pretty painful. There was something about a DVD in the dream...? And I was trying to open it...? With my mouth...? And in doing so sliced out a molar...? Look, I don't know.

[edda.livejournal.com]

THERE'S A FUNGUS AMONG US!

Heh. Sorry.

Maybe if Vladimir changed the name of his film to that, they'd go ahead awith it already. I swear to God, the man translates for Neil Gaiman and is clearly a genius, do they need a burning bush to fall on their heads?

Or maybe a flaming fungus...*eyeballs Bic lighter and mushrooms in fridge* I sense an apocalyptic sign coming on...

Ah, yes, the "mexican mafia black molar wedding dress" dream. If only I had a nickel for every time I'd heard that one. Somewhat of a staple in the current stock of psychoanalytical dream textbooks (and we can't have too many of those, now can we?). Had you not awaken (or is it "awoke"... god, please don't start) when you had, your dream would have continued thus:

The Greeks tear down all the statues of the gods and desecrate the temple.

PRIAM: Have you no honor?!

SWORD: *stabs Priam*

PRIAM: I'll take that as a NOoooooooo...

My dreams are never analyse-able. Like once, when I was very small, I dreamt I was at a friend's house and the flowers in his wondowbox started chasing me.

[rachnye.livejournal.com]

I read somewhere that when you have dreams about teeth falling out it means anxiety of growing up.
I'm not sure if that explains anything to you tho...

Ok, i'll take the liberty of telling you my latest weird dream. I was walking through an eastern european village, or a very small town, and i went into a big orange house in the shade to drink water from huge metal jugs, but my gums fell out and i started bleeding from whatever my gums used to be attached to. I ran out the house and then i found myself in vienna (i just KNEW it was vienna), where i found myself in a huge plaza covered in fake marble with a museum that looked as if it had been taken straight out of the matrix movies at one end of it. I walk into it and i take a guided tour with the curator, who is a gorgeous dark-skinned woman wearing a doctor's outfit. She shows me these statues that are on display which look sort of like the charred remains of the people of pompeii. Then it turns out that she and her best friend, the slimmest nordic bitch from hell, actually catch people and throw them into molten tar mixed with vinnegar (?!?!) and then put their dead bodies on display and NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT EXCEPT ME AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO KILL ME, TOO, AND PUT ME ON DISPLAY. A chase ensues in the matrixy museum, where they are hunting me with a van helsing style crossbow, and i am only armed with a golden fork designed in a very modern style, with which i get to poke at them and make their skin bleed here and there. Then i wake up. I still have my gums and i am not on display, so it's all good.

P.S.:

Sorry for trolling your journal. You should tell me to stop if you mind. I'll learn to behave.

Have you checked out the dream dictionary on my link list over there to the side?

Yea, about that rain. It just kinda stopped down here in Northwestern Florida, so that means IT'S ALL COMING UP TO WHERE YOU LIVE TO HAUNT YOU!!! Mwuhahaha....sorry about that. My friend went on a vacation to Dothan a few days ago when it was mega-raining down here in order to get away from the rain. And it followed her, mwuahhaha.

But rain is good, very inspirational and good for the earth. Don't worry, it'll pass, and then it'll be so sunny and hot that you'll wish the rain would come back.

I lurve to interpret dreams. My friends said I was REALLY good at it… Anyways it’s fun for me… I really think dreams symbolize things going on in your life so lets break this down…

Forced wedding into the Mexican Mafia – Maybe you’re afraid you’re going to be corrupted by this publishing deal? The forced wedding could just be the fact that you’re feeling a rushed into something? When I think mafia, I think of big guys in suits collecting on loan deals and such… Basically it symbolizes that you’re feeling rushed into something and you’re afraid you’re going to get screwed by your publisher.

The wedding dress and the tooth - Your sitting there in this dress that you have to wear for this wedding you don’t want to be in and your tooth falls out… I don’t like most of the teeth theories… I always felt like it was closer to this:

Teeth - Falling out: Loss of control over certain aspects of one's life. Powerlessness, unable to influence things or the outcome of things important. Loss of self-esteem in a situation or a chronic problem.

Your writings your little black enameled jeweled molar that’s so important to you and you’re afraid that you’re going to lose it when all the publishing stuff goes down… (Hence the wedding dress representing the publishing deal)

Anyways I think it’s that or just you know random fucked up dream stuff…

BTW I feel really intimidated posting here because I consider myself moderately intelligent, but we have all these writers on here, and I know my grammars not the best… See? I don’t even know how to break up that sentence properly.
*Sigh*
*sharing*

Suggestion (pardon if I'm less than coherent - very little sleep for over a week, and a bit of alcohol last night for a friend's birthday, y'know ...) with all the "teeth means this" flying about. The wedding dress - well, weddings are very "change-of-direction-y and new-era-ish really, so it could mean you know how big this change is, but you also know you don't know what it's going to be like after you've said "I do" ;) Deep down, you're realising how being "discovered" by that editor is a huge step forward and a huge opportunity for personal growth (hence tooth falling out - if we pretend it was a milk tooth, though - to be replaced by "adult" teeth) and that the tooth falling out means you are choosing to go with it. The tooth contains these rhinestones (which aren't really all that "precious" but stand in for "precious glittery things", no?) which could symbolise the potential (as yet unrealised - thus why they are rhinestones and not diamonds) return on this change in your life (I'm not sure what being pissed off about it could be translated as though). And you're in a darkened room, by yourself - you can't see how it's going to be, at least not with perfect sight (it's kinda shadowy and perhaps a tiny bit indistinct for the lack of lighting), and you know you can only give credit to yourself, do it by yourself, etc, etc, etc.

Ok, I'm stopping now. I was getting too wiffly on the topic. Odd dream - but odd dreams are fun. Anyway, good luck to Vladimir as well as you :)

Kinds of dreams

I got into dream interpretation in high school - I was a library aide, and the librarian was a dream interpreter. She was even writing a book on it.

Have nothing to add, though, except that everybody else is pretty much right.

It's raining here again. Sigh. I feel you on the mushroom vibe...
