i saw a spaceship fly by your window

not too long ago, i wrote about a dream i had involving myself and my fictional wedding. it has come to my attention that all i have to do is whisper the words 'marriage' or 'wedding' and some of you people start to giggle like little school girls. (you know who you are.) i'm not here to defend myself. i feel that my celibacy is such an established fact at this point that it is beyond needing justification.

i have a wild and wonderful life in my dreams. some nights i'm getting married; others i'm an international jewel thief being chased by tin soldiers. last week i had a dream that i was wearing a rubber unitard painted like a fish and rollerskating down endless hills; later, that i was visiting with an old friend in a grocery store when a random boy came up and kissed me then ran away. (yes, i said 'kiss' and 'boy.' no giggling.) once i drove from pg to paris on a motorbike in a single night. when i am stressed, i am usually trying to save small children from certain death. last night i was cooking in an unknown kitchen when it was brought to my attention that i was not wearing any pants.

i consider all these dreams to be equally preposterous and unlikely to happen in reality. so me dreaming about my wedding is not a sign of anything. you can stop with the giggling.

ok ok ok. i wasnt giggling...as much as i was out right laughing... the unitard thing. and the small child from uncertain death... "child and death" marriage.

hmmm is this why you were raggin on me today about boys? possibly?

if its any consolation i admire the non marriage thing. and with all my force, i join you.

trust me i always have in my head there little Erin telling me boys are stupid, and that anyone in the truth thats doing amazing in the truth, wouldnt even be thinking of marriage(according to certain qualifications) who am i kidding im just trying not to offend them married ones. and then i have the little steve in my head saying "DONT DO IT! YOUR STUPID!"

on the dream note again, i think you need to read the head trip. and google what those dreams mean? hhaha i was going threw a dream dictionary... and heres what it said about... (its just funny)Cannibalism

To see cannibalism in your dream, symbolizes a destructive and forbidden desire or obsession. In a literal sense, cannibals consume people's lives, along with their energy. This dream may then denote an aspect of your life (career, relationship, children...) which is consistently draining your enthusiasm and vitality.

To dream that you are a victim of cannibalism, signifies that you feel that you are being "eating alive" by work, a relationship. or a situation in your waking life.


who dreams about that!?

you have to see him before the desire gives birth to sin. hehe. It's all in the sights and what the mind dwells on; that's what I think. (giggle giglle) what do you think the lack of pants dreams mean?

since you obviously are able to remember your dreams fairly well have you ever looked into lucid dreaming? not in a weird deamo sort of way. more just the concept of becoming self-aware within your dreams and using them to accomplish whatever you want them to. it's in your wildest dreams interests...seriously...no pun intended.

to play to the crowd; oh my goodness it's a boy leaving a message on your blog! whatever issues will that create :) (yes serena i used an emoticon - could this be the beggining of a revolution?)

who says you can't drive from PG to paris in one night? i'm doing a cleanse right now and all i dream about is food, food, food.

*note* i did not say anyone doing well spiritually would not consider marriage. i have said anyone doing well spiritually wouldn't consider marriage when they're too young or haven't met another spiritually focused person. (and i'm too opinionated and vocal for my own good.)

just had to clarify in case anyone took whit's comment the wrong way.

actually i'm pretty sure that the fish unitard thing could happen so... don't say it won't happen.

I'm curious as to why you think that at the naive age of 24 your "celibacy... is an established fact". Granted you are approaching the upper limit of the Witness marriage rush, but you are still centuries away from achieving Mother Teresa status. What about the biblical examples of Isaac who got married at the age of 40, and Jacob who waited until he was 77? Love sneaks up on the best of us and someone could sweep you off your feet when you least expect it.
