I have anxiety dreams, although far less frequently than I did when I drank.They used to be that old chestnut about losing all your teeth, but that has been replaced in adult life about breaking my only glasses and not being able to see. Given that my biggest (and pretty much only, these days) panic in real life is if someone takes my glasses off me, this is understandable.
Alt: Not a daydream, but my favourite ever dream, that I woke up laughing from and am giggling now remembering it, was that I was wandering round Dublin and all I was doing was greeting every passing stranger with a raised hand and a hale and hearty shout of "Pot-Ay-Toe!"
I love that dream and want to have it again.
alt alt: Both, always.

A friend of mine's dance partner comes from an absolutely loaded familyAnd several of them are properly fucked up. Takes a strong personality to resist such things when they're so easily available.

Serious questionIs this shared proclivity for over-indulgence your fault/influence, or his? Or is it God's righteous vengeance on your mother for being unholy an' gay an' that?

He is older than me.Actually it was simply the counter-culture of Winchester in the 80s. Literally everyone was at it. There's fuck all else to do round there if you're a teenager and every summer the convoy came through en route to Stonehenge, and there were travellers' sites all around the town. It's just a hardcore little town.

That's actually a bit much to get into.Technically I think I'd consider myself drunk since about 1992, if not earlier.

It does depend how you define it.And that's my counting it in a way that stops me thinking 'well, if I could just drink like I did when I was 20, instead of when I was 35, that would be OK'. You know?
This is all a little dreary and serious for B3ta though. I don't mind people knowing and talking about it up to a point, but the details of how I cope and the like are a bit much to share and will bore people to death anyway.

No, no, that wasn't a dig at you for pryingJust an explanation of what I do and don't feel OK talking about. And honestly, a large part of what I don't talk about isn't really that it bothers me, just that it would be as terminally boring as yesterdays bickering was.
And thank you.

Teeth representPower. Or appearance. Or Control. Or fear of looking stupid. Or Money. Or fear of rejection. Or sexual impotence. Or being unprepared. Or poor diet. Or someone dying.
Well, that's cleared that up then.

No matter how confident the personIt's incredibly difficult not to be mindful of just how embarrassing the fuck-up will be when there are TV cameras trained on you.
The fact that they're all carefully hand-picked dickheads doesn't help.

I'm with you on that, it's a wicked show, my favorite 'reality' one.The snobbery people say is shit, as if anyone watching the show atually thinks it's main goal is about buisness rather than entertainment.

I once had a dream that ended in me waking myself up 'cus I was laughing.It was about a Joke Machine that I had hidden in my house. The FBI was looking everywhere for this machine. They kept on having comic slapstick accidents around the house looking for it, and that _was_ the joke, that there was no machine in the first place. It was so funny in my head.
