And I Want This Night

You had a great picture on your blog.  I hope I did it justice!

Thanks so much for playing Hannah Draws Portraits!  I sorta feel like I didn’t live up to your gorgeous, but I gave it an honest to God shot.

I once had a doctor tell me that if I don’t remember my dreams, it means I’m working on a healthy sleep schedule, because you shouldn’t end your night with REM sleep.  It makes a sort of sense, but it’s too depressing to consider a real thing.

If you don’t consider running from serial killers a nightmare, what does freak you out?  You are an actor right- do you get the Actor’s Nightmare, where you are onstage with no lines?  I hear that’s ubiquitous.

I’m tempted to feel like I’m doing something incorrectly again, when I hear that you stay calm, because panic is a pretty typical dream state for me.  But now I’m reconsidering, and maybe it is you who are not responding appropriately to stimulus, and I am practical.

When I fly in dreams, it feels like swimming.  Like- really, really slow swimming.  That takes a lot of effort.  I always feel like I’m somehow doing it wrong.

How does diminished size not make you scared?  My cat loudly announces herself if our feet get too close to her when she’s laying on the floor- I feel like that’s a practical way of handling the fact that people sometimes step on little things.  Did you not have to do anything differently in your dream?  Or did you just kinda float with the dream logic?

I think this will make for both a fascinating evening and excellent inspiration.
