The Harry Potter kid is grown up and saved my life.

Weird. I dreamt that Harry Potter and I were on a quest to find the wizard of Oz but we had to go through the marshes/bog like in Lord of the Rings where Gollum, Sam and Frodo are like "it's a nasty bog" and "don't follow the lights" except it was really pretty with like the Swiss Alps in the background and the water was crystal clear.

So Harry and I are walking in knee-deep water until we get to a part where the bog turns into a lake that deepens but we have to swim to the other side to the clearing so we can climb the really pretty mountain like the Swiss Alps to do whatever it is that needs being done in Oz (not the prison series).

At the bottom is this like luminous green seaweed (in a freshwater lake - my subconscious is not so clever) but it has like this evil boogyman "I'm gona get you" face and I shit a brick like right there because I'm like "I can't swim in my dreams this things gona get me" and then Harry is like "I'll go first" and then I'm like "hell no! It always goes for the second one" which I couldn't really justify because I don't know what this is.

So I dive in and the seaweed gets all unsettled and Harry is like "it's seaweed" and I start freaking out that I'm going to drown and then I see the ledge above the surface of the water that I need to get onto and I get all relieved when obviously the thing with the "I'm gona get you" face grabs me and starts pulling me down to the bottom of the lake like the Balrog in the first one with Gandalf and then I freak some more when like in the first one where Sam starts drowning and Frodo's arm reaches in and pulls him out, Harry does that - except he's now whatshisface Radcliffe in real life and not a kid anymore and can pull me out the water.

Then I wake up and made a vomit but that's entirely unrelated because I was at a friend who likes wine last night. I think this is a result of you people. The people who make me write about Wizard of Oz and Matthew for making me watch Harry Potter on Monday night and then my friend and I talking about drowning last night. Weird.

PS Matthew didn't really make me watch it, and I think it was Sunday but it was on and I was there and the combination became volatile. So I watched. Like the whole thing. And was like - "what a shit movie" and then felt cheated that I didn't understand it because I refuse to read Rowling out of respect for Tolkien when in actual fact he's dead so he wouldn't even know.

PSS I still feel poisoned from the wine. Blah.

You dream made me anxious because everything under the water has a mean boogeyman face to me in real life.

I'm with you on the Rowling boycott out of respect for Tolkien. Harry Potter does NOT compare to the geeky bliss of LOTR.

Ben: I'm even afraid to swim now. Eve though our pool is really clean and it's like a billion degrees celsius here (I don't know what that is in farenheit).

LOTR is awsum! I heard rumours from the North that The Hobbit is being made into a fil-m. SO EXCITED!

Hey you know Harry Potter (in your dreams). I want to hook me up with an invisibility cloak, can you dream again tonight and get his number, or his owl service or whatever?

Ches said...

Dude, you must lay off the sauce before bedtime!

JL said...

Po: Ooh, I don't know if I want to do that. I'm kinda disturbed by it. Perhaps I can dream about Jimmy Newtron and he can invent you a machine that can make you invisible - but then I'd have to dream about Jimmy Newtron. Bother.

Ches: Tell me about it. Maybe someone slipped me a rufi. But my friend wouldn't so maybe I did it to myself. I'm such a badass.

Dont blame me for your akward crap in the land of Nod - which we can subtitle Jasons creative canvas. The movie happened to be on tv and I said I'll out it off or change and then you and Dev are like no its fine whatever and sit your asses down to watch the wierd shit that you dont understand because you boycott Rowling. So I reject your little crap piece of reality and make my own - so there!

PS. The vommitting and the wine is so totally disgusting.

PSS. Although the takeout and the 2nd movie after the one that caused your delerium was fantabulous (fabulous mixed with fantastic)Thanks for the evening.

PSSS. I totally dig the whole Cul Kidz keep it Real with Alice in Wonderland plastic round thing that plays funny sounds. Thanks!

Thats a dream I can never say I've had..hmm dreaming of Harry Potter. definitely more of a nightmare. The whole magic and gouls thing in dreams just makes me wake up in a panic..maybe its my childhood fears coming back..
nice blog btw.

JL said...

Matthew: Still. It's your fault. Mostly because this is my blog and I say so :) Yes, Sunday was fun - sorry for being distracted. Extenuating circumstances.

The CD does indeed rock. Because I'm a cul kid who knows what's cul!

Te wine thing probably didn't happen - I am almost sure I made that up.

Againstthegrain: A nightmare? Definitely! And seaweed. That shit's scary in a Kelp keep me healthy kind of way.

PS Thanks. Visit any time.
