November 30: A busy week for dreams

I've had quite a few dreams since my last post. I've prioritized other things in front of updating this blog - I know, I know. How could I? So, before I forget more details than I already have, here are this last week's celebrity dream cameos:

Tom Selleck appeared in my dream as a stripper whose theme was being an electrician. Of course, the Tom Selleck in my dream was not that of the "Blue Bloods" era, but more of the "Magnum P.I." age. The strange thing was, he didn't strip. He was dressed like a stripper (with the utility belt and bare chest), but he just stood at the end of the stage and told terrible electrician jokes about climbing log poles.

Carson Daly made an appearance the same night. You know Carson Daly - he used to be on MTV (is it sad that is the last thing I remember him from??). In my dream he was featured in a newspaper article about the resurgence of the New Kids on the Block. Yes, my subconscious put Carson Daly in NKotB AND made them all appear as if they haven't aged a day since 1984.

Just the other night, both Michelle Pfeiffer and Taylor Swift made appearances. The Michelle Pfeiffer one was especially confusing and odd. In the dream I was Michelle, but not. And I was trying to make some dude jealous by purposely getting caught red-handed with another guy. The guy I chose reminded me a lot of Greg Grunberg, but I don't think it qualifies as an appearance. We joked about how there was no way I was 37 like I was claiming. (Michelle is 56 years old, but I bet she could get away with 45!) At the point where when it gets down to the nitty gritty, the condom was always faulty in some way. I've had similar dreams before where it gets to that point and then the dream ends. This time it was because I went to the bathroom to look for a usable condom, realized I had to pee and I woke up to use the loo.

Taylor Swift's appearance was brief, but pleasant. In the dream, we were friends and just hanging out, talking about boys. I suppose I had that dream because I had surprised (and shamed? *points accusatory finger) my sister that evening by revealing that "Shake It Off" (a song she has been jamming out to unsuspectingly) is a Taylor Swift song. Ha!

Also, a while back, I had a dream that I was in a movie with Jon Stewart. I'd been watching :The Daily Show: every night and he's been promoting his movie "Rosewater", so that's where that came from I'm sure.
