January 25, 2012 What Dreams May Come
I’ve had some very vivid dreams over the years. Some of them I actually had trouble believing they weren’t a memory upon waking. Usually the most wild dreams are a side-effect of the allergy medicine Claritin (which I stopped taking months ago). In the past several weeks I’ve had a surge in such sleepy-time visions. Facebook friends should remember a post about my 5 hour zombie dream at the beginning of this month.
All this to say, that this morning I had a really interesting one. Melissa and I watched Paranormal Activity 3 last night. Her pick (I get scared easily). One of the reasons I dislike those movies is that I become hyper-aware of everything around me. After 75 minutes of staring at the TV trying to pick up on all the little details intended to creep me out it makes sense that I would feel uptight.
This led to a dream-cycle that was easily influenced by this film. Oren Peli should be proud of the team that made this sequel / prequel. I kept finding myself in scenes from the movie. But here’s where’s it gets curious.
Do you know who is appearing as the demon affectionately referred to as “Toby” by the little girls? Rick Perry. Yes, that’s right. Former Presidential candidate (and former Texas Governor) Rick Perry. It was scary as hell.
The next logical step for me was to play around in Photoshop. Now you can see what I saw. Please enjoy in all of its right-wing, paranormal freaky-ness.
