I went to bed so early last night. I think it was about 9. I woke up around 4 and couldn't really get back to sleep, so I got up at 5 and did some stuff on my laptop, which I'm obviously still doing.
Sleep is good. I like sleep. I like dreams. Dreams can have an interesting effect on how you start a day. Like the other day I had this dream that me and my brother and my dad were out on the ocean, just swimming, or with boards or something, and the waves were basically mountains of water rising up around the place, and I remember going under for so long, that in the dream I thought I might drown, but I just held on, tumbling and disoriented, until
I rose to the surface. Then I remember being told to swim over the trees, because there was now this forest around us, and the water was rising over the forest, like when you swim over seewead and raised reef bits when you're snorkelling, except that was replaced with what looked like forest, as if you were flying just over it in a plane, not birds-eye, but on a downward angle anyway. I hope you know what I mean. Then there were these wire suspension bridge bits, which I can't really explain because dreams are just chaotic for me most of the time, and then it sort of went back to being linear and semi-rational for a while, as we came across a cliff, with some sort of cable/winch thing coming down from the top. Then I remember pulling and pulling ourselves, and all these packs we now had, up this winch thing. We pulled and pulled, and then we got to this point high above the forest and water, but still no where near the top, and we stopped, and I see that we were pulling a big brown sofa up this cliff. So the sofa was now suspended, on this rope, resting against the side of this straight up and down cliff. So I was hesitant in turning myself around to sit down, as it seemed a bit wobbly, and then there we were, sitting on this sofa, with camping gear, on the side of this cliff, as if it were some legitimate form of mid-cliff sleeping gear hahaha. So yeah, I got the sense that we were staying there over night, and you know how in dreams you just know things? and, absurd or not, you believe them, in the context? and you know how someitmes when you 'remember' something in the dream, the dream often starts to change accordingly? Yeah, well, it was kind of like that, like some lucid part of me decided that this must be a sleeping system, so there would have to be some kind of weather barrier too, like a half-tent. I think if I hadn't woken up then, that's what would've happened next, we would have set all that up. Sometimes I wish I could stay in a dream, to see how these things pan out. Do dreams ever conclude properly? Or do they always leave you hanging like this? I don't think the important feel of a dream can ever come across in it's description, but this whole dream felt very end-of-the-world important. That's sometimes not very nice in dreams. Other dreams sometimes feel light, and really freeing. I think they're the best kind of dream. Like when you're flying, or riding some crazy motorcycle thing. That's always fun.
Speaking of cliffs by the sea. I can't wait to see Ponyo On the Cliff by the Sea! Or Ponyo, as it's called over here. I'm going to see the english version. It has Tina Fey, and Cate Blanchett, and Liam Neeson. But also, I really liked the english versions of all the other miyazaki movies. Especially Howl's Moving Castle. I watched the making of the dubbing on the DVD, and the pixar guy talked about how they made a huge effort in making it really accurate and everything, as if no one had ever done that before. Anyway, yeah, should be a whole lot of traditional cell animation goodness.
