I had a stranger- than-strange dream. I don't usually remember my dreams, but this one was too outrageous to forget.
It started with me going to my friend's house after a night of newspaper layout. I stepped into her house, which was actually a tiny kitchen in a hut, and walked a couple feet, just to bang into the oven.
"How do you like your steak done, hmm?" her mom asked me, stepping from around the corner with her yellow labrador. "Whoa, I thought you were dead!" I said to the dog. In my dream I guess it wasn't weird for me to be talking to a dog. He was bigger than ever - practically a horse. He just handed me a big bowl of steak - one of those bowls you fill with popcorn on a rainy Friday night as you watch Jerry MaGuire for the 58th time.
Standing there with my bowl of steak, her mom yelled from the other room (yeah, she was just standing next to me, then boom, she was in another room...er...hut), "It's time to go to the shrine!" WHAT???
Next thing I know, we're all in the car, but everyone (my friend, her mom, her little brother, and the dog) sat in the front seat, except me and my bowl of steak. The only reason I was at her house was to pick up my car, and now we were going to a shrine. Great.
That's where my dream ended.
This really strange dream made me wonder if it all meant something. Did my friend's dog coming back to life mean something? Did the big bowl of steak mean something? Probably, but whatever it means is too far out for me. Supposedly dreams are supposed to mean something, but I'm really not sure. I decided to consult an online dream interpretor too see what my dream might have really been about. This is what I got...
To see cooked meat in you dream, denotes that you will see others obtain the object for which you have been striving for.
To see or make a shrine in your dream, indicates that you are putting too much of your energy into one element of your life.
To see a dog in your dream, indicate a skill that you have ignored or forgotten, but needs to be activated. Alternatively, dogs may symbolize intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. Your own values and intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and succeed.
If the dog is dead or dying, then it indicates a loss of a good friend. Alternatively, it represents a deterioration of your instincts.
That didn't help. I don't feel ignored, my instincts are just fine, and I didn't lose a good friend. Dreams, to me, seem to be the things you don't have enough time to think about during the day when you're awake, so when you dream as you sleep, even the things of little significance get mushed together with everything else you haven't had enough time to think about, producing a feature film inside your head. I've come to the conclusion that although dreams may have hidden meanings, they are self-provided entertainment.

I really like your blog. First, blog title is great. Can you describe what it means to you? Obviously with a knack for titling, your post titles beg for attention. I also like how your posts are not strictly paragraph form. New posts?
your dream sounds really interesting. i know the feeling when you've had a particularly strange dream, and you wake up and you're just like, "huh"? my only problem is that i can never seem to remember my dreams, except for a select few that i either extremly enjoyed or was extremly scared by. i've been trying out mr. watson's tip of telling your mind "i would like to remember my dreams" right before bed, and hopefully it will start working. your idea to look up an online dream translator thingy was really good; i plan on using it next time i have a strange dream!
