My Brain Made A Movie

January 13, 2009

I had two unusually vivid dreams last night. I know I have many dreams, but most of them I don’t recall until I think hard about what they were. But the two dreams I had last night stuck with me.

The first dream was just agonizing to watch. It relates to nothing going on in my life, nor does it take place in any familiar place I have been to. It was a hospital operating room, and a man stepped out of the elevator. He explained that a baby tarantula had gotten into his head. There was a clear hole on his forehead that was bleeding down his face.

The doctors got to work immediately and took a saw to his skull. They sawed off the whole top of his skull and left it on a side table. During the whole process the man on the table was screaming in pain. Then the weirdness started to occur. For no apparent reason the doctor was trying to place a larger skull over his head and had hit his brain. The man screamed even more. Than I blinked and the man’s skin had disappeared and all that was there was a skull. The doctor touched the jaw and the whole top of the skull jerked back and made a horrendous noise that sounded like when someones joints get dislocated. Then I blinked and the man’s face was back, and he was screaming.

Then it got really nuts. His brain simply fell out of his skull and blood dumped out of his head. The man screamed again, and the doctor shoved the brain, which looked like it was filled with liquid, back into his skull.

Then I woke up from complete amazement, and horror, at how vivid and real it all looked. This dream just makes no sense to me. I assume dreams come from your own brain, but I have never seen or heard of anything like this at all. My brain just got bored and wrote and produced a well done horror scene.

The other dream was a very vivid sex dream that lasted for far too short a time, and I will not discuss it. But it involved your mother.

Today we shot our first interview for the news story project. We got a teacher to come down and talk with us a bit about Barack Obama, the election, and the post-election. I operated the camera while Charlie did the interview. It was the best conversation I have ever heard about the elections. Our news segment is supposed to be about 90 seconds. The interview was 15 minutes long, but I love it when we have an abundance of footage. It just ensures that you will get the very best of your footage when you have to dig through it all.

I will post the project when it is finished, and maybe I’ll throw up the entire interview also.

My next school project is a news story. My partner, Charlie, and I are interviewing teachers this week on the following:

What they think about where we are at right now with the bailout, the amount of borrowing and debt, the election and the media, and the “global cop” status of America

Then what they think the future holds. What kind of change is coming and is this younger generation too uneducated.

This is pretty intense for me right now. Charlie came up with this topic, because Lord knows I don’t know ass-diddly-doo about this subject. We are hoping for some crazy interviews, where people start yelling and slamming fists on the tables. Then slap the closest person in a fit of rage.

I’m in the middle of trying to convince a professor, that I had for a couple writing courses, to do an interview. One day he came to class very pissed off at the government and tossed desks at the students, and that is the passion we are looking for.

We start shooting and interviewing tomorrow. I wanna see some mud ‘n blood thrown.
