Robyn Harper: Can I Write for a Living? There's Only One Way to Find…
Forget golfing, sailing or Match.com. According to The New York Times, 32-year-old Lily Michaud, of Portland, Oreg., met her husband in a "dream club." Yes, as in a gathering at which people meet to dissect their dreams.
"I learned about my friends' lives at a depth you don't often get in casual conversation," Michaud, a registered nurse and photographer, told the paper. "It wasn't as though I was getting more personal details, so much as understanding the complexity of their emotional reactions to life events."
It only got awkward, she said, "when someone dreamed about someone else in the club." We bet.
It seems dream clubs are popping up all over Craigslist and Meetup, from Iowa to L.A. Most are co-ed, and they're often led by a therapist, shaman or dream coach. Some participants say diving deep into their dreams with a room full of near strangers is the perfect antidote to friendship in the age of the status update. And some groups actually engage in dreamwork, which looks a lot like building dioramas of your nocturnal dramas.
In the interim, food is served. Which is the only reason we can dream up for straight guys being there to begin with.

why don't you actually read what you are posting before you post you big idiot, i am really sick of these stupid ads being attached to articles that have nothing to do with them. I literally laughed out loud when I looked at your comment.
"The only reason she's in the movies is because Heath got her the role in Brokeback Mountain. Just plain ugly.
My boyfriend thinks the same with me."
Haha idiots, I swear......

Why would the author of this article attack a manʻs sexuality for being interested in his dream life?
Homophobia for a snarky end to your shitty article?
Well Done Carrie Sloan, homophobic commentary will really boost your credibility and readership!

Dreams have been called "theaters of the absurd" due to their content that seemingly doesn't make any sense. Sigmund Frued stated that 'all dreams are sexual in nature.' I believe this is only partly true. However, I recently had a dream I had sex with a woman, who was a childhood friend that I grew up with in the neighborhood I lived in. She's been dead for the past 15 years or so, and I never had sex with her nor even considered it or even thought about it. And I'm certainly no fan of necrophelia. Its just strange how dreams twist things around, and create scenarios that have no basis on fact or reality. On the subject of deja-vu's, ( the recollection of being somewhere, or experiencing everyday situations), in a past dream, I've had scores of those.

My infrequent dreams never make any sense at all. I'm always in a place, usually a city, factory or industrial type setting(I live in the country and never worked in a factory), and there's hardly ever any people around. If there is someone around, I don't know them. Weird. How can anyone say what dreams really mean?

It seems to me that dreams are the way the mind does it's own "defrag"...getting rid of odd bits and pieces or misfiled elements while we are asleep. It is the best "computer" we'll ever get....makes sense that it would do its own servicing. Any thoughts?
