Now I know I'm not the only one who got a message, but what have you been dreaming about lately?

Sometimes I see a woman with blonde hair, pale skin and black eyes and I get the feeling that she means to hurt me. In one dream - this is weird, right? - she took my eye.

That is weird. What is it they say about dreams? That dreams are a manifestation of our deepest anxieties and desires. Maybe yours means you have a deep seated fear of blondes or to be obvious about it, losing an eye.

[ibiza]

Isn't everyone afraid of losing an eye?

This wasn't just any blonde, Shades. She was creepy.

[serpentinthegarden]

Not seeing would be a drag.

[ But not having his particular eyes, hmm... ]

So yours was an actual nightmare? Like wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat scary?

[ibiza]

Yeah, not seeing, and being that person people thought of as weak because you were missing an eye. That'd be awful.

Complete nightmare.

[serpentinthegarden]

Yeah, never know what that is like.

[ Growing up with a strange eye condition tended to give people a similar impression of you. ]

So blonde and creepy just shows up and steals your eye? Do you remember anything else about it like where you were or maybe this blonde said something?

[ibiza]

It's really hazy. I didn't recognize the place. A ballroom? A castle?

I think she referred to herself as a queen? And she was in a bathtub.

[serpentinthegarden]

A lady floating around in a castle bathtub some how reached out and took your eye? That raises a lot of questions.

[ But perhaps the most pressing one was... ]

Did it feel like something you really needed to remember?

[ibiza]

Well, yeah. I have plenty of them.

Like something vital.

[serpentinthegarden]

Mine always feel dreamy, not vital. Its more like a rainy day in a garden or something.

[ibiza]

Do you remember any of it?

[serpentinthegarden]

Bits and pieces.

[ He had to close his eyes briefly to remember very much of it. ]

It's raining, you can smell the moisture in the air mixing with the scent of flowers. I'm pretty sure I am standing next to some one but I only ever see their feet. And there are these white feathers.
Doesn't make much sense really.

[ibiza]

Feathers? Are there birds in the garden?

I'd say maybe you were too shy to look this person in the face, but that's not the Shades I know.

[serpentinthegarden]

I'm not shy. I just can't remember what the person looked like or if they were actually there. Like I wrote its all very dreamy.

[freakymagoo]

she took your eye
she pulled it out of the socket with her fingers ?
or she attacked you with a ice cream scoop

did you poke hers out

[ibiza]

No, it was really weird.
She just sort of wanted it, snatched it without much blood or anything, and suddenly I didn't even have an eye socket.
Just this smooth space where an eye used to be.

[freakymagoo]

look on the bright side
maskara lasts twice as long with only one eye

recog nice the blonde?

[ibiza]

You know something about makeup!
Bravo, Barnes. Most men wouldn't know rouge from lipstick or...
Well, you get the idea.

No. Total stranger.

[freakymagoo]

only a little
i spent hours holding bags looking at red red dark red light red pink red

[The 20s were a different time for him. Well, they were probably a different time for everyone.]

any idea why she wants your eye?

[ibiza]

I imagine it's probably nice when your biggest worry is what shade of lipstick to pick.

I don't know. There's so much I don't know and I get the feeling I'm supposed to? It's frustrating.

[freakymagoo]

a lot has changed in the past 2 years

dont worry about it its probly nothing

[ibiza]

Don't I know it.

Maybe...

[ It leaves her feeling uneasy, though. ]

[freakymagoo]

you see her often?

[ibiza]

Almost every night.

[freakymagoo]

oh

maybe it is a problem

[ibiza]

It's something. I'll figure it out.

[freakymagoo]

sorry

she sounds like a [...] not nice

[ibiza]

Don't be sorry. Still got two gorgeous brown eyes in real life, don't I?

Yeah, she's definitely a not nice. I have a lot of other words for her, too.

[freakymagoo]

they are nice

i had an other word in mind but didnt want to be rude

[ibiza]

[ She hadn't been purposely reaching for a compliment, but it still brings a smile to her face when she hears one. ]

Thanks.

You go ahead and be rude, Barnes. I guarantee I've heard much worse.

[freakymagoo]

it would not be gentle manly of me

better to say nothing if nothing polite to say i think

[ibiza]

The world would be a darker place if you weren't such a gentleman, Barnes. I like you better polite.

[freakymagoo]

thanks i think
the world is change ing too fast these days

[ibiza]

Sure is.

Up is down and down is up.

[freakymagoo]

i hope you find her
bring an ice cream scoop for self defence

[desperate_times_right]

Does your blonde have an accent?

[ibiza]

Not really, but she sounded strange. It was like she was used to speaking more formally or something.

[desperate_times_right]

Guess she figured impromptu surgery wasn't a formal situation.

[ibiza]

This broad? I think she's one of those silver spoon types. Of course, I never get the full picture because I never remember the whole dream.

[desperate_times_right]

What a pain. Though maybe it's better not to remember that.

[ibiza]

Maybe. Wish I could forget the whole thing.

[desperate_times_right]

Can't blame you for that. It's happening a lot?

[ibiza]

Too much. Have you been having weird dreams?

[desperate_times_right]

I've got my own mystery woman, but she seems a little friendlier than yours.

[ibiza]

Oh yeah? What's she like?

[desperate_times_right]

Not sure, but I know I trust her. Sometimes I hear her calling my name and I know if I can just get to her, I'll be safe.

It's weird because I don't recognize her voice at all when I think about it afterward. I’ve never even heard an accent like that.

[ibiza]

It's good to have someone to trust, even someone imaginary, I suppose.

[desperate_times_right]

I'm not into it, but if we got to pick there would probably be fewer messages like this on here.
