Songs in my dreams
@songsinmydreams.bsky.social
[extremely Law & Order intro voice] In my brain, my dreams are represented by two separate but equally important groups: the weird visual dumps of my subconscious and the real songs that play while they happen. These are their stories 🔨🔨
I successfully punched Casey Affleck in the face, though he didn’t put up much of any fight, so it didn’t really provide the catharsis I was hoping for m.youtube.com/watch?v=gwZA...

I’m trying to sleep in a twin bed in a room a couple of boys share. The bed is gross and dirty and the boys are crawling on it, so I’m not sleeping, but it’s what I have available. A guy closer to my age sings and plays this on acoustic guitar for one of the boys m.youtube.com/watch?v=jsyP...

I ride a blanket like a luge around a dusty track. I come with heavy emotions, wanting to use my body to work some things out. Sometimes I lose control, rolling dust all over my hair & clothes, but it doesn’t hurt and I don’t care. I let my body wrestle with the earth. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0_6...

I’m sleeping in what feels like a mall. The water fountains spit out cigarettes & every time someone washes my clothes, they ruin them. I ride a flying machine that’s going too fast & one of the owners says if I buy a sticker & put it on my shirt, it’ll slow me down m.youtube.com/watch?v=xmLv...

I’m pouring ocean water into a bath in my mom’s living room. A jellyfish escapes as horrific creatures look up at me. The tub collapses into a mattress that absorbs all the fishes. I don’t know why it’s happening or what to do about it, but imagine it’ll cost me dearly m.youtube.com/watch?v=srMB...

I’m lost in a giant school I think I have a class in but no one will tell me what or where it is. I get chased out of one room and led to a dead end. A hunky model has a column in a children’s magazine where he follows amateur kid detectives who seem in over their heads m.youtube.com/watch?v=g1EW...

James McAvoy plays an up and coming singer in a mediocre looking British rom dram that is one of maybe seven similarly mediocre movie options at a vaguely Christian women’s wellness retreat. The only one that exists in real life is Love Actually, which I was considering m.youtube.com/watch?v=oofS...

I’m trapped in the DVD menu of a Dark Shadows-esque sitcom I don’t want to watch. The only way to turn it off is to die. I try to crawl out of it, but a towering vampire follows me. “It doesn’t matter how you die,” he says as he prepares to kill me. “Only that you do.” m.youtube.com/watch?v=zPwp...

The most elusive figure in my dreams is a guy I was infatuated with at 14. My subconscious chases sex with him as catharsis. We look for a place to fuck but end up at a picnic table with women playing this. He sings along passionately while I burn with frustrated desire m.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ac...

I’m walking through a nice house that just keeps getting bigger, expanding into a cavernous, warmly lit garage with no seeming end. I’m looking for somewhere to pee and contemplate doing it on a weird spongy floor, but decide against it, not wanting to ruin anything.

The top of my breast has detached from my body; I can see a fleshy mite crawling in its tissue. I scoop it out with a q-tip but the wound is still open. I descend into a salty pool with old friends who don’t notice me anxiously clutching my chest as it fills with water. m.youtube.com/watch?v=uPnN...

I’m in a packed van careening down a street, rocking wildly as it speeds. Most of us are laughing, which overrides any potential sense of danger. I keep laughing as the car spits me out onto a yard without slowing down at all. I dust myself off and watch it drive away. m.youtube.com/watch?v=t_eC...

A childhood friend & I are standing by Benicio del Toro, who I say is hot in an unhinged way. My friend says he donated a layer of muscle to charity for a sick woman he loved, that it makes him hotter despite the unsettling fact that we can almost see through his skin.

I’m in a bed with people I grew up with. One is a guy I had a crush on at 13, covered in blood for some reason. A few of us take him to a shower, which is a party with a line. The blood gets us ahead of everyone, & a few get mad when they see us singing, taking our time m.youtube.com/watch?v=6uEJ...
