I think it means Delia would go after Bill which would mean that Seneca would go after Feigy,Jill would try things with Frank again,Mary would risk infection to expose the bug as a genetically engineered blend of Ebola and Captain Tripps (created by the Cassadines from GH) and Feigy would win Bill back after curing Roger and Delia of being putzes and informing Miss D that she had TWO identical siblings in Llanview (Roxie and Georgina). Delia's brother the cop would capture the bio-terrorists but not before his beloved Mary is abducted into the future to join Starfleet Academy. When last seen,he had gone in the witness protection program and was giving advice *almost* as good as Feigy's from behind a tall fence next door to the star of one of those DIY programs. Anyhoo,those who listen to our Purple Goddess and value her thrive while the rest wind up cancelled (the RH alumni,denser hospital folk and the former owners of the trapper.) The world is full of hidden dangers,we might have to swallow a bit of poo to survive but bright,loving,indefatigable folks like our Orchid Omniscience can see us through.
The really sick and twisted part is, I understood each and every word of this post and she managed to play 6 degree's of separation in the process. Course Soaps are an easy way to play that game.
Mary was my favorite before they replaced her and killed her off. I love that soap really. I thought and still think it's better than most of the crap they have on today. But, I'm still searching for a Llanview, and Pinevalley PA since I've moved here...but to no avail.
It's just neat who you can find in a soap opera. Specially the old ones....
Oh and I suppose my emotional state in the dream could best be described as frustrated. It wasn't scarey, or intimidating. After a while, I wasn't even worried I was gunna die, so much as I was worried and frustrated that I couldn't get people to listen to me and would ultimately die.
....I wonder if I can find online eppies of Ryan's Hope...I really miss that show. Plus I don't get soap net and I wanna know what the heck happened after Faith started hangin with that guy who thought she was some reincarnated Egyptian Goddess.

I think they're out there.
Maybe we could do a 'Versified forum for RH on the Fraud?
Oh my,can you imagine Joss pulling a Henry Slesar and doing a soap?
He's already got the motifs down.
"Children grow up so fast. It seems like only yesterday Binky was a baby and today he's a neurosurgeon."
"It WAS yesterday."
"Oh! Did you send him to one of those accelerated summer camps? My half-sister's step-niece's clone did that and her daughter got an M.B.A. and an M.R.S. in two weeks."
"No,he got sucked into a hell dimension-but he did lose his puppy fat."
"Amounts to the same thing."
"The girl with the M.B.A.... Is she the one running the multinational corporation?"
"No,you're thinking of my cousin,the illiterate hit man-turned spy- turned software magnate. The one with the M.B.A. is a stripper."
"Amazing...."
"Knowledge implants,wardrobes with eidetic memories... it all beats the heck out of paying 8 years tuition."

Wow, this thread has become longer since I was last here. I get the impression that this is a recurring dream for you? Are the bugs always the same? Do you ever have fear for them? And where are you when you are playing musical chairs with these bugs?
The bugs seem to be a representation of Puzzles, or problems that your mind is trying to solve. These dreams are actually kind of refreshing for people unless you can never get the bugs to do what you want. In which case you might be getting out your frustration regarding not being able to bring order to your life. It's a control issue.
Recurring in theme only. The dream and location isn't the same. It doesn't even have to be same type of bugs. Sometimes, it's worms, or flies, or spiders etc. I don't fear them, I just think they're a nuisance as I really don't want to step on them. Sometimes, I succeed, sometimes I don't. Usually I don't take them any heed really. You might be right about the control. When I do have lucid dreams moment, I usually change everything. So I kind of wink the bugs out of existance.

Purple Goddess, see what you think of this.
I use to think I don't have nightmares anymore. Monsters and demons in dreams, don't scare me anymore. Infact they help me achieve lucidity because I know I'm dreaming then. I now realise I have nightmares in the form of death dreams. They aren't scary but they do cause grief and unhappiness.
I had one last night - and really unexpected. I always have trouble with death dreams because I worry about being prophetic. I dreamt about my high school friends this time. I haven't seen or contacted them in years so I have no idea why they would turn up in my dreams. This girl that I was great friends with was upset and I tried to find out why. She then told me about the death of a good friend and how he died. I was really upset of course and relieved when I woke up.
Why do you think I would dream these things especially when I haven't given any of them any thought for years? Maybe I'm worried about growing old.

Well Max, that's entirely possible. Growing old does indeed suck. However, as with tarrot cards, pulling the death card doesn't always mean a literal death. You might be letting go of some things from your past, or simply that things are changing and you are recognizing those changes. Any time there's drastic change in one's life, you go through a mourning period much like death. Our first instinct is to fear change because we don't really know what it will lead to. But if you're having death dreams, it's likely your mind is processing life changes, or just the inevitability of change. We all change, we all move on to new stages in our lives. Some more easily than others.
I don't necessarily discount the idea of prophetic dreams. But, unless you've had them before, I don't think I'd be overly concerned that that is what it is.
On the other hand, maybe it's not such a bad idea to try to track down this person and maybe say hello and see how things are going. Reconnecting with your past can often help people move forward to whatever lies in front of them. However, as weird as this sounds....since you heard it from a 3rd party in the dream....maybe it's not about the person who died so much as it's about the person who told you about it. Maybe she could use your support right now.
Well, that's about all I got on that one

Well...PG...I keep getting this recurring dream, at least once a week. It usually starts out as me running, and the all of the sudden I start flying through no effort on my own. However, I don't have any control over what direction I going or speed I'm flying. But the wierd thing is that I always seem to not hit anything, I almost hit telephone wires, buildings, or other objects that can hurt me. But I can't control my flying ability. However, everytime I have this dream it is usaully at different places, I'm either at college (I'm running late for class), at home, or other places I am familiar with. However last night's dream was the wierdest. I had the flying dream again, but this time, I was at a place I haven't been in 9 years. But here's the kicker, I was dreaming that I was having that dream. Meaning that I woke up in the dream, and told my best friend. And then the dream ended.

LOL I've had dreams within dreams myself from time to time...they really annoy me too because usually they involve me thinking I've woken up to go to the toilet or something. But I've had ones where I was telling a friend about a dream in a dream... oddly enough I remembered the dream I was telling about in the dream a LOT better than I remember most of my dreams...or more accurately, I remember it for much longer a time.
well usually flying dreams are about your mind letting go of restraints and exercising it's freedom. The fact that you had no control over what you were doing doesn't really make that any less true. Unless of course you were fighting it and pushing against your direction the whole time...But I suspect you were just going with it...maybe experienced it a little like being on a roller coaster.
dreams within dreams usually happen because your sleep is interrupted at some point. maybe not for very long or anything...but just long enough to pull your consciousness up a little. It makes you percieve that you have woken up in your dream but you went to sleep so fast the dream picked up again.
I get a kick out of odd dream formats tho. Especially if they're not all that scarey or freaky. (tho sometimes the freaky ones are the coolest). I like them because our minds are pretty creative and if they're taking twists n turns in our sleep, we're obviously exercising that creativity enough that we can bring new ways of doing or looking at things into our waking lives much easier.

I haven't had a dream in a dream for years. But I used to get them all the time -- and I could tell myself "this is a dream" and wake myself up.
Gosh I forgot all about those. I think post having my last child, Im just to tired when I go to bed that I dont recall my dreams anymore.
It does seem to coincide with that event (My son) -- and then infrequency of my dreams thereafter.

Thanks PG. That was enlightening. My dreams are never prophetic which is always good. Dezzie. People always dream. You just can't remember yours. Maybe because, like you said, you are too tired. I once was tricked by my dream. I told myself to wake up, and I did wake up, but I was still dreaming. That was disorientating.

I had a dream the other day which sort of qualifies.
I've been remembering my dreams a little more lately, and I think it's because I'm forcing myself to get enough sleep.
Anyway, Tuesday morning I had a dream that was set in a high school with some sort of corporate presentation going on. And there was a video being shown in some sort of assembly that had some ridiculous product placement, and when I pointed it out everyone laughed.
Anyway, I discovered that I could fly.
I ... really don't know what was up with this. I found that if I held my hands to my sides with the right kind of muscle tension, I could zip up to the ceiling.
And I discovered I could control how far I went up and I could control how fast I came down again.
Afterwards, I was asking my friends in the cast of That '70s Show (it made perfect sense at the time that these were my friends, even as I recognized "Hey! You're all in ..." and I trailed off. "Never mind.") and asked if anyone else could do this. And they didn't believe me so I demonstrated that I could fly and I sort of hovered in mid-air. And I was sure it wasn't a dream. And they were pretty impressed and they tried to do it and they couldn't. I was thinking that holding your hand in a certain way couldn't overcome gravity so I was trying to figure out why it was working for me.
And then I met the person who was doing the presentation and I thanked them for it and they were very nice and then I woke up.
Weird, huh?

Oh, hey, there's been a lot of activity in here. I didn't see Kev already took my flying dream. ;D
I wasn't running, tho, but I've had that dream, too.

...most times I very much enjoy flying dreams. The ones I hate are the ones where you think you're gunna fly and you don't. I used to have a recurring one where I would start out at my mom's attic window and I would jump out prepared to fly. Well instead of the normal drop from that window, there'd be clouds below and I would fall through the clouds and continue falling until went through several layers of clouds and land on a vast field of really green grass and lots of different colored flowers. I'd wake up when I landed of course...Generally jolting me awake. A couple time's as a kid, I'd wake from that dream on the floor.
I've also had dreams where I was a bird. A raven actually. I would fly all over town and it would usually be dark outside and I'm trying to escape people knowing I was around. Once I ended up in my mom's house in the corner of the living room near the ceiling hoping she wouldn't see me. (yeah if I was hiding you'd think I'd stay outside lol)
