didnt know where else to post this...but..anyways :

i had a AGM dream...for real.......i dreamt i had written a review / article on agm.com and got a horrible response...from everyone..tonnes of hatemail and bashing in the forum and on the updates

it was like a literray nightmare.........

any psycho-analysis in this regard is welcome

AGM.com was in my dreams as well one night. It was awful. All the bands I wanted to write about were written about by others and I nothing left to contribute

Nothing to do with agm but.. pretty fucked up and pretty avant garde

I had a dream where me and some other people were holding on to a red rope while being dragged down a long hall of tile floors and cardboard walls with magazine-page pictures of grocery store isles on them. The floor had about a half inch of water on it and there were some toy fish.

Eventually the rope led us to this giant wall that was split in half vertically. On this wall was a very sketchy pen drawing of a cat that is similar to felix the cat. It was basically the cat looking straight forward and the drawing was from about the shoulders to the top of the head.

The individual halves of the wall would spin around to their other side where apparently there was a drawing of the back of the cat's head.

Me and the others sat and waited until both sides were flipped around and we saw the back of the cat's head. Some guy splashes the wall in gasoline and lights the wall on fire. I hear a cat screech and the wall slowly falls. I have an eerie thought of "what would happen to us if the cat was watching?"

Then, rather than seeing what was beyond the cat door, it fades to black. Cut to a naked, yet in a very non sexual context, anime lady that looks somewhat like Excel ( the blonde character here http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000065AYD.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) This anime lady wakes up naked in a corn field at night time. She has a very excited look on her face and gets up and starts running with great joy. All these little caslevania-esque gouly things(skeleton head with bat wings, skeletons, possibly mummies, ect.) start trying to stop her. But not in a violent way, in a concerned friend way like "oh my god please stop what are you doing?" but she just runs through them and jumps into the air.

Then a curtain falls, fades to black, and credits roll by. The credits include long paragraphs (I know I spotted the word Jesus), html code, misc. text, and what are apparently computer errors in what looks like html but says ERROR consistently.

Then I woke up.

No I didn't make this up, and no I'm not on drugs. My dreams are not usually this messed up and I have no idea what triggered this.

Avantgarde dreams...

I used to be afraid of falling asleep as a kid because my nightmares were so bad. I still get them occasionally. Which is why my taste for really brutal horror movies has its limits....

I'm on some dream-inducing anti-depressants, so my nights are always entertaining.

I "suffer" from Sleep paralysis

I personally liked the nightmares I had as a child (and sometimes now), at least they were entertaining and full of suspense

Do any of you guys know Michael Ende? He is the son of Edgar Ende and the writer of "Die Unendliche Geschichte" and "Momo". His book "The Mirror in the Mirror" is a short story collection of some really weird and surreal, almost dreamlike novels. I strongly suggest reading it for an Avantgarde-dream-experience.

benjininja that was one screwed up dream.....if you fed it to one of those "interpret your dream " softwares the pc would halt

and recon : sleep paralysis...i have sufferd form something similar...only that it included visions of some strange being or beings closer to jinns.......or ghouls or challawas ( in local dialect ) ...i have done a ltta research on this...and yes there is a scientific explanation but it doesnt explain waay the beings...only the paralysis......so im convinced a lotta of alien encounters, fairy encounters and jinn sightings are part of one pan-human phenomena (Jung's collevctive conciousness maybe...or maybe more real...)

thankfully the dreamtime/ half-wake paralysis fear /vision experienmce has recntly stopped and hopefully wouldnt happen again....

Isn't sleep paralysis what makes people think they were abducted by UFOs? I recall some expert saying how it's this condition where people feel that wierd stuff and then they go to hypnotists to give them a "memory regression" which actually causes them to make up memories and believe them.

@ Suleiman:

Analysis according to Freud: you want to have sex, probably with your mother or somebody that you somehow link with her, but you aren't allowed to and thus you make war on the Agm front.

According to Jung you should search for an archetype which fits your story. Maybe we can come closer to that one if you paint your dream?

According to contemporary psycho therapy: you obviously work too much, but don't feel you get the recognition you deserve - a wide spread problem, believe me...


But Suleiman: you DO a great job at Agm.com! You really DO! And before you ask who gave you the power, come join us! http://www.watchtower.org/

@trollthor

nice detailed psycho-session

though the link you gave leads to ajehovah's witness site....and i had to re-read your email to beleive that you arent a spam-bot

why the hell would i want to join jevohah's witness is anybody;s guess...though im willing to psycho analyse anyone who wants to forget their past in jevohah's

@benjininja : yes there are many lines of thought that associate with sleep parlysis with other phenomena (ufo, faieis, jinns) as i previosuly stated...but with time i have foudn if your ebeif in something is strong anough relaity re-aligns itself to provide proof

i have spent long hours, days and months on all manner of fringer phenomena....to come to the final result that it boils down to what you want to beleive....

i personally beleive in beings of other dimensions (to neatly sum up all catgeories as one) but have no clue as to their place in the cosmos and neither do i claim to understand them though i try my best

@Trollthor:
Would you be so kind please and write some "vol. II" of your analysis?

I think you forgot rogerian non-directive approach, gestalt, existential analysis, logotherapy, systemic approach, transaction analysis, cognitive-behavioral method and some few others...

Really great stuff, I think we could sometimes publish such articles - f.ex. to analyse this way the AGM recordings...

While we are at it, could I get some analysis too?

I dream of big scary animals attacking me on a regular basis. One night I dived (without any scuba equipment) between these two icey walls, I look to the ground and see a huge a shadow of a shark. I turn around and above is this huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge Great White. Well I get pushed around, we wrestle, and next thing I remember, I stick my head out of the water and am in a fjord with caribic touch.

Yesterday I dreamt about a huge tarantula again but it didn´t move... I fell into this weird competition that was basically about agility and concentration. Everybody in my surrounding failed but I was so shit scared of that big spider that I did it all perfectly!

My dreams never last through the entire night. I am thrown to different places the entire night.

@ Demimonde: there are some more theories not mentioned, social psychology among others, which I think of as one of the most interesting since we all play roles determined by the social situations we are in. But I guess Vol II would take a bit more time since I'm not at all into most of these theories.

@ Trident: concerning the animals, especially spiders, snakes and so on, I'm quite sure that those dreams that you share with many - have their roots in some kind of ancient collective memory. If you regard your own fear, you might recognize that you aren't frightened of the spider itself, but of the way it could move with its legs. You mentioned that it didn't move, but maybe you were waiting for it to move? It's like some of us have a remembrance of these movements burned into their subconscious because ages ago one of our ancestors had a serious encounter with such an animal and thus it was so to say given from generation to generation like a basic memory. I'm sorry that I can't name sources of literature in that case.

If we search for some basic ideas that are similar in various theories, we can ask whether the dream symbolizes certain questions of our life which we maybe try to keep down when we're awake.

To write about music with some psycho analysis at hand could become fun in some cases, be it Manowar or Atrox...
