We were at the bar Metropolitan in Williamsburg the other night with my ex Doug and his friends. Nice space with a huge garden out back. We got on the subject of dreams and what they mean. Is the stuff that happens in dreams imaginary, or is it real by the fact that we saw/felt it so vividly, almost as vividly as real life? Why is our waking life reality more valid than our dream reality? If I dream that I have a Penthouse apartment in Gramercy Park and feeding Lizzie caviar and hairball-reducing champagne, why can't that be true? If reality is just a function of our brains telling us this is so, than what are dreams? Doesn't the brain also feed us images/events in dreams? I thought of Jacque's dream about Liz Taylor night at the Urge -- I don't remember there being a Liz Taylor night, but it is entirely possible, and if enough people dreamed it, did it not happen? GREAT idea, by the way.
We also got on the subject of the latest thrill rides in our nation's amusement parks, notably Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. Doug mentioned he went there recently and went on El Toro, his friend Amy talked about Kingda Ka and everyone piped in about their own experiences on various screamers. These rides are quite extreme, but sound so fun. It's not enough to let gravity take you to unbelievable speeds, now it's got to be electro-magnetic or hydraulic propulsion, to speeds over 100 m.p.h. in less than five seconds. It seems like I'm so behind on all the action, as my last new thrill ride-of-the-moment was Nitro at Great Adventure, five years ago (or so). This is kid's stuff nowadays. Anyway, Gay Day at Great Adventure is Friday, Sept. 8th from 6pm to 1am, and we can't wait to go.
Maybe we'll have dreams about it afterward.
