The dream I had last night was sufficiently bizarre that I want to write it down. Entertainingly I believe it was at least partially sourced from looking through my wedding photos...
( Nazis, throwing knives and the CARBON call )
A brief digression, probably more interesting than the dream writeup: I noticed while writing up this dream that I don't remember proper nouns from dreams at all. Names of people and organisations in dreams come up in my memory as 'signifier: (properties of organisation or person)' rather than an actual word with a spelling and how to say it (sometimes they come with the ghost of one, e.g. the spy organisation mentioned is tagged 'begins with G, something like Grenadiers but not').
I think this might explain slightly more what I mean when I say 'signifier' (it's like a pointer in my brain which often is labelled to look like a word but doesn't have to be). When I complain about having primary key collisions with names, that's because the words are linked to signifiers (and any mention of the signifier's label fires off the signifier, making me very confused when people share the names I've labelled people-signifiers with).
This is probably still just uninformed and not quite correct babbling though :).
Oh, and the wedding photo link? There's a picture of Inq looking _really_ sarcastic, plenty of pictures of Edith looking avuncular, and relevant pictures of the featured relatives of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
