Tuesday, March 30, 2004 Dream Sequence I had this dream last night; I was at my high school reunion, but it was in my parents basement—which is way smaller than my class could fit, even if we were a small class (like 75 grads). Anyway, I walk downstairs and I see a couple of people I don't know milling about. There's a table with a white cloth and a punch bowl, but the rest of it looks like my parent's basement. Half-finished, a couch, a bar - the furnace. I wander around the people there, I still don't seem to know anyone, and someone calls my name. I turn and it's Dana Delaney. Only she's Colleen McMurphy from China Beach. She wearing a red and black checkered outfit and a white, puffy, fur jacket. She hugs me and says how much she's missed me. I know this is Dana as McMurphy. There's a weird duality that I seem to be aware of as she talking to me. She both people at once. She tells me she now works at a radio station and she's got me tickets to Don Henely - which is odd. Then, I ask her how things have been and she gets quite and somber. She tells me about being a nurse in Vietnam and I sort of realize that she's back to being just McMurphy and then the reason the room is so empty. All the people we went to high school with have been killed in Vietnam. Then it degenerated into hard core lamenting to the point I actually woke up because I was starting to hyperventilate and it's 5 AM. Freaky. However, this one is really a no brainer. We've been watching way too much China Beach. Thanks in part to the boy and to Tivo, we managed to amass about 8 unwatched episodes. So over the last month it's been catch-up. In fact, the outfit McMurphy is wearing in my dream is the same one from the episode we watched last night, The World, Part 2. The really weird thing is that the episode isn't really all that special. And we've had nights where we watch two or three in a row, last night was just the one and we hadn't seen an episode since last week. There were more impactful episodes before this, but this one leaves some kind of imprint? Odd. Oh and I'd like to add one tiny rant; Okay, I've always had a bit of a crush on Dana Delany, especially the China Beach years, and this is the dream I get?!? My brain hates me. posted by Evil Wayne | 8:49 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
