By the way, I am an expert interpreter of dreams (in my spare time of course), and I can give you an expert Freudian analysis of the psychopatetic aspect.
Basically, you want to kill your father and marry your mother, all because you were punished while you were growing up...

I'm in deep, weird, near troubling love with Jon's guitars ... Really? Have you dreamt that you jumped down from the bleachers and entwined yourself with them yet? As that seems all the rage these days. |

;D
I tend to relate more to Carl Gustav Jung's archetypal dream analysis, and, that dream still doesn't make sense. Oh well, such is life and love, always beyond one's expectations. Live and learn, and then get love.
I don't even find myself infatuated with Chloe, it's just a weird little dream that's all.

Louise Redknapp is more my cup of tea! Though there's only one winner in the "who's music would you prefer to listen to?" stakes...  |

Or...you friggin love Chloe. Who doesn't? Sorry, I don't. I actually only fall in love with people I know and, no, I don't believe in love at first sight. Lust... there's another thing - but sorry, not lusting either.... I'm just old and boring ;D |

Lust is another thing indeed, an interesting thing, lust:
"Of course if you go back to the remote Darwinian past when we were, as I said, surrounded by close kin and by people who were likely to be able to reciprocate, that doesn't explain why we're still good to each other, even though we now live in big cities and are not surrounded by kin and are not surrounded by potential reciprocators. I think the answer there is probably that what natural selection builds into brains is rules of thumb which used to work at one time, in the same way we have heterosexual desire even though we are using contraception. As intelligent Darwinians we know perfectly well that the heterosexual lust that we feel is no longer fulfilling its Darwinian purpose, but we still feel it, and why on earth shouldn't we because it was built into our brains and it's still in our brains.
Similarly, our remote ancestral past built into our brains the rule of thumb 'be nice to everyone you meet' and the reason was because everyone you met would be a cousin. Or 'be nice to everyone you meet' and the reason was that everyone might have been a potential reciprocator. Now it's no longer true, so we're in the same position as somebody who enjoys sex even though they're using contraception. We still feel a lust to be good, a lust to be nice, a lust to be altruistic, to be cooperative. I think that that Darwinian impulse filters through a conduit of modern cultural conventions and then of course refined by law, by parliamentary discussion, by journalism, by just ordinary conversation over the centuries which gives rise to the sort of civilised values that we have today, and which with hindsight you can if you wish graft onto certain verses of whatever your holy book happens to be."

How on earth did we go from 'oooh I fancy Chloe' to 'Darwinian impulse filters...?!' I was running off to work and didn't have enough time to actually think of a decent reply. So I went with the first thing to come to mind. Haha. Now I'm back from work and am too tired to think of anything decent to say. Oh well. |
