Dreams Of Brad Pitt, An Alien, And Banana Leaves

My friend, who's quitting smoking with the patch, reminded me of vivid dreams. Since I am not using the patch, I can only attribute my dreams to Prozac. Here are a few...

One night...
I dreamed that I was a tall thin black woman whose boyfriend was Brad Pitt. We were on some kind of espionage adventure together. I was sitting on a ledge high above ground. Directly across from me was a stage. I was watching the stage to see when to move into action. Suddenly, Brad Pitt landed beside me. I was happy my partner had arrived. It was understood he was my boyfriend.

That's all I remember. I know, I can be so deep.

Another night...
I dreamed that I was pregnant with something. Not exactly with a baby. All around me were all these people, protecting me, to make sure I would deliver safely. I was quite disturbed I was going to give birth to an unknown thing.

I am sure I had this dream after reading something about stupid Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes giving birth to an alien. I can be so impressionable.

Last night...
I dreamed that I was cleaning up my garden. Only the garden wasn't the garden attached to my house, and the house was not my house. I was in a huge house with a jungle for a garden. After raking in the branches and debris, I rested at the kitchen table and looked out the window. I saw a patch of ground covered with dark green leaves move. Out of the ground sprang a woman, carrying the part of the plant-covered earth from which she rose to a different part of the plant bed. Then she sank back into the ground in the spot where she laid down the transplanted earth.

I realized she had reshaped the plant bed so that it curved along a sparkling silver blue pond. I had not noticed the pond until she did that. The reshaping groomed the garden and enhanced the pond. I said to my sister-in-law who was at the table with me, Did you see that?

She said, Yes, I saw the same thing a little while ago, only it was a man who came out of the ground. And he's the one who put all those banana leaves in the garden.

I looked into the garden again. Sure enough, there were giant burnt orange and mauve banana leaves, 4 feet wide and 10 feet long, lining the floor of the garden between trees as if to keep the tree roots moist. I said to my sister-in-law, Who are they, why are they doing these things?

She said, That's what they do. They nurture and protect the earth.

That was kind of cool.
