I'm usually snoring like a hibernating bear as soon as I hit the sheets, but I haven't had a full night of sleep in a week now because I'm SO FUCKING EXCITED!

it's been taking me and extra hour or two each night to fall asleep because my mind is racing with thoughts of Burning Man

I've been crashing out early from sheer exhaustion, but not sleeping well.
The first year after Burning Man is usually the worst, and it turns out if you skip a couple of years the dreams go away. Then you get your tickets in the mail...

Typical Burning Man dreams:

1) "FUCK! WRONG PLAYA! What do you mean they MOVED it?!"

2) "Why is Burning Man in the middle of downtown London this year?"

3) "Do we really need escalators?"

4) "It's raining. We're gonna be under a couple hundred feet of water in a couple of hours, but those dipshit ravers are going to dance until their elwire shorts out..." -or- "Tsunami warning?! For real?!"

5) "There's a million people this year."

6) McDonald's. NOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!!

7) Vehicle broke down... (wake) Vehicle broke down (wake) vehicle broke down...

8 ) "You have a phone call. It's work. You need to come into the office and reply to the e-mail about..."

9) "What do you mean these aren't the right tickets?"

10) "Where is everybody? Did they forget? Why is the Man only six feet tall?"

11 ) ...Canceled!

....

My wife woke me up to tell me she had a dream that it started to snow on the playa during BM. =)

I've not had the burning dreams this year ... although I have in the past. Red playa, people digging swimming pools, playa in the forest, playa in the parking garage, island playas, playa art projects, and the weird indoor mazer playas. And the I forgot to go see the art dream. I liked the giant neon man as an archer looming over the horizon dream.

Last night I dreamt I was Jennifer Anniston, squatting in an abandoned mansion filled with designer clothes and big furniture in too many rooms, but trashed. The aquarium was still full and clean. That was strange. But I had nice boobs and a girlfriend. That was strange but very interesting.

I am sleeping badly, my doc decided that better living through chemistry was the answer. Ambien. Charming stuff.

the man has chased me a few times in my pre/post playa dreams.

he's scary when he's trying to get you!

Ambien was the direct cause of godzilla's social issues.

A week or so ago, I dreamed I was on the playa after the crowd left on monday or tuesday.
Working on something, but it was totally real and convincing.

Last night I dreamed I was playing an unusual type of bass guitar.
Great fun too.
Sketched out the unusual bridge design and I don't think it would work in reality.
Funny thing is I've never played electric guitar at all.

Sound like a bunch of kids waiting for their stockings to be filled.

At least, that's how it feels.

So what's the playa equivalent of an orange in the toe of your stocking?

you know those kids play places they usually have in mcdonalds and such? Well I usually dream that burning man ends up being a metropolis made up of nothing but that with the ground being one enormous ball pit =)
