Nocturnal Appointments with Dr. Lecter

Yesterday was the 4th time I had a dream with Hannibal Lecter. It's just not nice!!!
What the hell is going on? It's not even a recurring dream. The plot changes all the time, but Hannibal is there, playing a big role in the story. Two weeks ago or something it was the most violent dream I ever had, about 30 people died in a park while he was trying to get to me.
In the last one, he threw a dinner party, and we were all afraid to refuse to go, and afraid to eat the delicacies he served when we got there. But we ate, until this lady started screaming that she found a ring in her meal. Then Lecter started killing more people, just for fun... Somehow Eddie Murphy showed up in a wheelchair and Dr. Lecter skinned him. I mean, what is my problem?

My guess would be that you're coming into daily contact with someone or something whose appearance and/or behaviour reminds you of Hannibal Lecter-type activity and this leaves such an impression on your subconcious that it works its way out in dreams every night. But then again I could be wrong.

It is obviously your guilt bubbling up to consciousness in your sleep, de Jade. It's the psychic dyspepsia occasioned by that fricassée of census-taker which you served up to your friends once. They might have pronounced it a great culinary success, but it was disrespectful to accompany it with such an inferior Merlot. Next time decant a fine Chianti, as prescribed, and Dr L. will leave you in peace, like a silent lamb.

I've got an unfinished gag here, about Hannibal Lecter watching the telly whilst tucking into someone's guts. It's a medical documentary and at the sight of some surgeon opening up a patient and delving about, Lecter pushes the carcass away with a look of disgust and says:

"Ugh! Why do they have to put these things on when everyone's having their tea?"

Erm, sorry.

I've been dreaming about air-crashes (dreamt about a VC-10 crashing on heathland a week before that mid-air collision in Russia) and other man-made catastrophes. Most recent involved the American air force dropping an atomic bomb on Cosham because terrorists had infected its citizens with a deadly virus.

Ack.
Grey Area: So you're trying to comfort me telling me that I happen to know someone in real life that reminds of Hannibal Lecter? In real life?? Thank you!!! I'm much more relaxed now!

I know why I'm having these dreams, actually. It's just that recently I watched "Hannibal", and call me oversensitive, but that brain scene... to me it was like Evil. The Evil, you know? That smile, the way he was talking while doing what he was doing... I still don't like to thin about it.

But there's always hope. Today I dreamed with Bucky Katt!

I had a dream once where I was Saddam Hussein's personal assistant, and he was going out w/ a friend of mine, but decided to blow her off. So every time she'd call into the office (Saddam and I worked together in an office, apparently) I'd have to say that he was either 'out' or 'on the other line', and she knew I was lying, and I knew that she knew that I was lying...

Only happened that one time.

Back on topic, you probably shouldn't watch that upcoming 'Manhunter' movie.

(I've never watched "Silence Of The Lambs", tho. I will, one of these days.)

I keep having variations on the Zombie Movie dream, where my house is under attack by a variety of nasty things.

Sometimes they're quite creepy, where people I know get taken over by a malign force and come to kill me, but recently they've been getting really lame. I mean, last week I dreamed my house was being attacked by lizards. And not even big, killer ones fergodsake, just normal ones. And I got away by running past them and driving off in the car. I mean, how weak is that?

Impostor De Jade, if you open a thread as this in the magick forum the honorable board of magi there will definitely have much to say -and to do.

Original Manhunter is way, way better. Apart from the utterly pants soundtrack, that is.

Mordant C@rnival: Original Manhunter is way, way better.

Really? I thought it was a pale adaptation of the novel. I've been hoping they do a better job the second time around...

Don't you be knocking "Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida", MC.

I just can't believe there's no Tom Noonan in this one...

I once dreamed I was Buffy... which was kind of odd, in a cross-gender sort of way... (only Sunnydale High was my old A level college, but with lasers and motion detectors mounted outside the drama studio, and the floors were really, really polished and slippery... and it was all to do with some evil thing making everyone into self-righteous ex-smokers... man, that was fucked up.)

I've been dreaming a lot about windstorms lately - really localised, very destructive windstorms - one was in this little village, somewhere hot and dry, and kicked up a lot of earth or sand. One was in a town house, and caused total devastation and some serious injuries, though not to me... and there was another one, too, but I can't remember details. Seeing as the only other recurring dreams I have relate to something happening to my dog (usually him running across a busy road and thinking that me chasing him is just a complete laugh, and me not being able to get him back), these wind dreams might mean something, though what that is I am not sure...

I keep dreaming that I'm on an aeroplane as it lands (its usually in some sort of trouble). Thing is though I'm sitting on the nose of the plane (not sure if thats the correct term) just in front of the cockpit windows, I'd like to think it meant something sexual but I'm pretty sure its related to a feeling of no control over my life.

I've not had any dreams about Satan for awhile but thats probably a good thing
