infrogmationI noticed that I posted about a dream I had back in October 2020 elsewhere on line, but not here, so I'm belatedly fixing that. The dream was likely in part inspired by seeing a news story on Jimmy Carter's 96th birthday on tv before going to bed.
I had a dream that I escaped to an alternative reality that was on the whole better.
Key point of divergence seemed to have been President Jimmy Carter winning a second term.
On the plus side, Womens, LGBTQ, and POC rights, ecological issues, drugs and healthcare had been resolved or seriously addressed since the early 1980s.
There was also a down side: the fashion was a combination of the worst of the 1970s and 1930s sci-fi. Paramecium-print crotch-display jump-suits with random Saturn-ring double-cuffs. Strange orange and green color combinations. Also middle-aged women were going out doing their shopping a la Wendy O Williams; boobs out with clothes-pins on nipples.
So some friends and I decided to go see a movie. One of them suggested a movie they thought would be fun they’d heard of called “Clowns Run”. When we got to the theater it turned out to be a remake of “Logan’s Run” scripted by cartoonist Daniel Clowes (“Ghost World” etc), and the actual title was “Clowes Run”. I thought that was very funny, and I woke up giggling.
