Hmmm, I’m thinking of illustrating my dreams and adding a somewhat sporadic Sunday update to my
webcomic (depending upon time between work and the other two comics). While I prefer to do color strips, this new comic would have to be (mostly) black and white simply to ensure I have the time to do it. This is ironic since I’ve always dreamed in color. Oh well.
But what to call it… I considered Dreamquest of Unknown Candace, but I thought, Naaaaaaaaw, way too cheesey. heh Well, even if I am unknown.
Anyone got any ideas? How ’bout A Cry in the Dark? Reality’s Revolving Door? The Subconscious Story? Lurker on the Threshhold of Sleep?
Or not. You guys tell me if you got any good ideas.
So how many of you are dreamers? I’ve not met many who dream as much as I do. They say everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers. My dreaming kicked into turbo when I was about 11. I know I dreamed before that, but I don’t remember any of the dreams before then. Maybe they just didn’t make any sense before that. It’s easier to recall a dream that has some kind of progression or follows some unifying theme.
The first dream I really remember happened after I had seen the movie Poltergeist for the first time. I didn’t think it was particularly scary (aside from the carnivorous tree) and the crawling porkchop was just gross. But I had a fever that night, and then I dreamed there was a ghostly knight in the livingroom, throwing the furniture around. It threw the tv at my sister’s head and killed her. After that I dreamed nothing but nightmares for several years. Most of my dreams are still technically nightmares, but since I enjoy scary movies, I guess the majority don’t scare me too much. And the ones that aren’t nightmares are just plain odd.
BTW, everytime I take a Lovecraftian quiz I end up being
Nyarlathotep!
The 999 forms of Nyarlathotep are a point of meditation for the true initiate. It is through these manifold faces that the secrets of the universe are made known. Called “The Crawling Chaos”, Nyarlathotep is the disembodied ego of Azathoth and thus the universal “I” of known reality. Some of the many documented forms are; Father of Knives, Nephren-Ka, the Black Man, the Beast of the Lashing Tongue to name a few.
What do you think it means? heh

Hey Woman! Hope your New Year was passable. I’ve been working a lot again but wanted to tell ya “hi”! Oh the kids loved the gifts and Mary says Hi to ya too. Landen has been sick somewhat and we have been grandson sitting lately. I do have a dream I would like to post but have worked 12 hours today and have to go back in- in a few hours *sigh* and plus got homework again *sigh*. Namaste
Heya Kat!
My hours have actually been cut.
Oh well, more time for artistic pursuits. I will just have to economize!
I’m glad everyone liked their gifts, and I hope Landen stops being sick soon. My sister’s baby Elijah was sick too, but only for a few days.
I look forward to reading your dream when you post it to your blog. Now I must go and post another dream I had last night. What did you think of the new comic idea?
I like the new comic idea btw. Oh the kids plus grandson are moving back in with us. Plus Stacy has a BLOG post about how she hates me. This is why the stepmom should not subscribe to stepdaughter’s BLOG. Feelin’ the love lately. Sorry your hours were cut that bites for lack of a better phrase.
