My Brain on Dreams: Love Triangles, Stolen Plots, and Inspired Looks

April 20, 2012

If you follow me on Twitter (and if you actually read what I tweet…one doesn’t guarantee the other, I know), you might be aware that I sometimes comment on dreams I have.  As I’m sure is the case for many of you, my brain is always doing crazy things in the night time, and I generally wake up the next morning with all sorts of strange ideas and memories of things that never actually happened to me.

Vested Interest: trench (H&M, $15), vest (gift), black skinnies (thrifted), button-up (Old Navy, $8), boots (Target, $15).

Case in point: a few nights ago I dreamt that I was caught in a love triangle with Jake Gyllenhaal and Jeff Probst…on a plane…going from Australia to LA…and the plane crashed…and I had to give birth to a baby (Jake’s?!  Jeff’s?!  Stay tuned!) amidst screams and flames and lots of sand.  Thank goodness there was a hot doctor there to help me out…though he did seem distracted by that curly haired woman…(thanks to JJ Abrams for the dream’s plot).

Sometimes said dreams are actually useful.  When picking out my outfit for the day I realized that it was exactly what I was wearing in the dream: a vest, an oxford, black pants, and a trench.  How a pregnant belly ever fit under that I’ll never know…though this vest is a little unflatteringly puffy, now that I think of it.  Maybe it wasn’t a dream, after all…

PS: Who would you choose, Jake or Jeff?

    Can I say that I would choose Sawyer? Because he should’ve been there in the dream along with Jake, Jeff, Jack, and all other Losties :) .

    PS – I am traveling to Australia this summer and keep joking that I’m going to crash onto a non-existent island in the Pacific – to which my best friend said that would be great because then maybe I could tell her finally what happened on the show.

    PPS – Love this outfit – it’s so easy, but so stylish!

      Yes, you absolutely may say Sawyer. He was probably the funniest character on the show. And I love his incessant reading.

    Jake! I love this dream plot. Who ever the baby daddy, it seems like either is a good choice. Love the outfit, of course!

      Baby daddy is such a funny phrase. :)

    I’d definitely choose Jeff Probst. That guy is all kinds of reality tv hot. And he would love your outfit, I’m sure, even if it does conceal a baby whose dad you aren’t sure of!

      Well, good! You should, because who else will support my neutral-junkie habits if not you?!

    I’d take Jeff, though I think he’s short. He’s just really hot and funny and I love survivor. AndI love your shirt!! And your whole outfit!!

    So cute! So glad I found this blog (through pinterest). I’ll be coming back a lot, especially if that vest shows up again! :) :)
