The Brain Works In Mysterious Ways

I woke up this morning (na na na na) and after a couple of mins found that I had the catchphrase "ducky boos" lodged in my brain kinda on loop. Racked my brains for a while but as per usual surrendered to google to find out where i remembered it from. Turns out its the granny from the classic old cartoon count duckula. I loved that show.

Now whenever i have things stuck in my head like that i try to look for triggers that may have put them there. i do the same for dreams but theyre usually more obviously directly linked to things i've seen or heard in the last 24 hours.

Anyway, i was woken up by my wife after only a few hours sleep because she was looking for a notepad that i told her was on the book shelf but she couldnt see it so i reluctantly jumped out of bed and quickly grabbed it from the exact place i told her it was (typical). It was rested on top of Dracula. My eye would almost certainly have caught a brief glimpse of that title and placed it in some pointless subconscious box. Do you think its likely that my brain then processed it with a subconscious chain of though which ended in bringing "ducky boos" to the front of my conscious thinking? Maybe being half asleep kept me in that weird dream processing mode after i woke for a little while?

In the heart of Transylvan-ia,

In the Vampire Hall of Fame-yeah,

There's not a vampire zanier than...

DUCKULA!

i'm not ready for this kind of cognition but i like that you referenced count duckula

almost certainly, shame we can't log our subconscious mind

The other morning I was having a dream about my boss, who is a very large man, wearing a giant space suit and battling a couch I knocked over on my way to get chocolate from the kitchen with my eyes closed and he was battling the couch with a lawn mower that he was wielding as a weapon and I started to wake up and was awake but could still hear the sound of his lawn mower going, and then I realized that it was the sound of my fan running, and was like WHOA! and then I fell back asleep into the dream, but was aware this time that the lawn mower sound (it was still very much a lawn mower sound due to the dream context) was my fan.

Can someone find out what "I've Actual Road" means, please?

if you have those kinds of things in your head you should really tell yourself this simple lesson:

growing up is hard to do. we all have obstacles. but it's ok. get the job done. do the right thing! peace.

A few years ago, I was having a very normal, mundane dream about a bunch of random people I didn't know. Suddenly I became aware that I was dreaming and so did all the characters in my dream. They then started begging and pleading with me not to wake up because they would then cease to exist. It was kind of disturbing.

keep in mind your dreams wake!

consciousness is acting on itself. the messages get absorbed back into themselves if the libido-object is negated and reintegrated. there is only one teacher here and no one owns him.

Not to be rude but what the fuck would you know about growing up.

Yes, i do think.

and for the same reason the strangest dreams happen because the brain seems to catch random (?) bits and references of daylife - sometimes from remote times as well, as it happens to me a lot - and create (or shall we say recreate) the most bizarre situations we can think of, thus generating dreams.

why it happens is still a mistery, but that's the beauty of it.

i don't remember of ever having a dream based on the 24 hour time that went before the sleep time.

i rarely have a dream and when it happens it is really bizarre and i can after recreate it crystal clear in a period of 10-20 hours after, but while you can still find a more or less obvious reference to your dream (as in this case) i always miss it, so my dreams get quickly lost in deep mystery.
