I never get the really wild, weird-ass, WTF dreams. My subconscious is remarkably straightforward in working things through, and most of the time I either a) dream in archetypes (oh, loook, I'm walking through an old, bare house, toward the attic, and I meet up with an old woman whose hair is being brushed by a young girl! And there's a unicorn on the street below! [actual dream] or b) have a very reality-based dream about exactly what's bothering me (sitting having dinner with friends who have suddenly decided I've blighted their world and cannot be spoken to any more [also an actual dream]).
I'm starting to wonder if that's because I use all my weirdness ideas up in the job, or if I just don't have the time or energy, even in my dreams, to puzzle through the twists and turns. I'm busy, here! Let's get the issue out and on the table, already!
So. How do you dream? Would Freud be proud, or just bored?
