happy tuesday it is tuesday today do you need your adderall y'all megan is bent over backwards digging through her bag it sounds like rats are scraping at a wall oh is that why he was apologizing earlier yeah but i asked him about my lunch before because he packed my bag because he now works sweetheart remote which is fantastic for me um he did say holy fuck i understand what you mean this shit is lonely as hell oh i thought you're gonna say hot no he works in the uh garden level and the garden level is the coolest place to the house does it get muggy seems like it would get muggy um not really it doesn't really get a lot of sun so like the issue he does what doesn't like that that it's like we looked into like

adding more windows he goes but then it won't be cool and they're dumb um but yeah he helped me out by packing my bag we've had a lot of discussions and conversations about um my time management is not a choice for me so like if you see me like not getting ready that's not because I chose to not get ready and I chose to be late it's because I don't know what's going on and so like there is no nagging in that sense and so he's been helping me like he like helped me like pack my bag and then I asked him I was like oh is the is my lunch thing already in like it was our leftovers from last night and i made dinner and so he put it away and then he was like oh yeah it just needs to be grabbed right out of the fridge and then i forgot to grab it right out of the fridge

i'll eat it when i get back i love like a um like an after work like leftovers i love leftovers i do too i usually when i cook i usually cook for a few days and then let it and all the the marinades and the juices like it all the flavors i have a new recipe for you what is it my queen ina garden has made a pasta that is the pasta of all pastas okay this is gonna be huge if i like it so where are you at right now in like my current journey with meat is i'm in my ick phase oh i love meat right now you are in a big meat face i've always been i've ever not been in a b i don't know but do you ever have like you know sometimes the eggs like people go no meat is like a staple in my life except for the time where i was like i can be vegan i mean i

can be vegetarian and i did it just to say that i did it and then i had in and out after six months and then i was very sick and i thought it was like this was so fucking good so um i'm usually meat has always been my safe food like does not upset my ibs like it is usually for most people ibs like that is like any digestive things like meat is usually solid covid fucked that up royally for me texture yeah and it's like a game unit like it's some some like certain flavors like really messed up like it's like the most common uh food aversion so i'm really right now in the hot months it it's the very select things i can do so this is a vegetarian dish but you could definitely add meat to it if you want so it is pasta and it seems like a very like like low

stakes one you literally start by marinating all of these chopped like cherry tomatoes okay so it's like oil fresh garlic basil um i think there's another kind of like acid thing in there and some different seasonings but like truly you just chop it all up no you don't have to you don't i mean i don't fuck with most cold pastas and specifically cold gluten-free pastas are not the texture i love yeah um but you let it marinate for at least four hours the juices all come together and you add that to just plain pasta you obviously like save some pasta water and mix it up in there and it's insane we finish it off and she does too but hers is real proper job i'm just trying to i'm just trying to picture this as a warm dish no it sounds like a cold it was baffling to me too

i like could not i think it would be a good cold dish too um tomatoes basil garlic see just that i mean i know that's bruschetta yeah no i know i was like the whole time i kept double checking going richard this is we serve cold it doesn't i mean maybe she said that but we serve it hot how do you because you know like depending on how long you cook a tomato it has a different consistency so how long are you cooking you're not cooking the tomato the tomatoes are just you chop them and you marinate the warm thing just the pasta yeah but it warms everything up because of the pasta so you like put it back in the dish seems like a cold so do you have leftovers with this yes so here's the thing we warm up the leftovers we make double of like the

tomatoes because tomatoes need to be room temperature covered marinating for at least four hours and so we usually end up making extra and so then we just make some more the next day we add it to that and it becomes like you know you're adding new stuff and when you cook the pasta it's obviously warm and in a warm pot so you drain you save some of the hot pasta water put it back into the same pot and we add the tomato mixture and the liquid that's there and then we stir it on up and add some of the hot pasta water and it warms so then is it lukewarm no it's warm enough like but i also but the thing is i you will eat something cold that's not supposed to be i won't eat lukewarm food though i eat cold food and i eat hot food

lukewarm food is absolutely vile this is lukewarm food is like pre-chewed food i think i would just have to eat it cold yeah you could i mean look at the recipe maybe it literally says like cold pasta salad um but we used that yesterday i used part of it but then i did a like pesto one with like corn and stuff um it was not as good as aina's and i figured out ways i could like make it better but i've been really heavily relying on bonza to ensure that i get protein because i cannot fuck with meat right now is it the summer garden pasta i don't know how'd you find that so quickly i just piped in i don't garner pasta it seems like it's right i know four pints of cherry tomatoes oil garlic

no that's that's not a good picture no i'm not i'm not even i'm looking at the recipe no i know but i i need to find a better picture of it because that one is a foul picture here's this one so this one is anyone wants to know it's on the kitchen and it is called aina garden summer garden aina garden summer garden pasta is almost too good to be true and i agree jesse who wrote this august 7 2021 i'm gonna include it in a vlog soon because it's just so so fucking good she uses all of the nice ingredients like you know and it's like use good this use nice this i'm gonna tell you right now i use middle of like very mid ingredients of these but delicious we did more basil this time last time we didn't do as much oh and there's

like roasted crushed red pepper flakes in it too should have some um suspense is killing me tomatoes the dried tomatoes oh sundried that would that'd be really good off yeah but cold yeah no you could do it cold when i see something that says garden when i tell you like 15 times because i assumed i was like this has to be cold i mean when i see something that says summer pasta yeah i just think of it as being cold yeah it does look good i'm gonna i'll make it it's delicious and we finish it off with put some maldon salt like the really flaky like big chunky one it's so good so that won't happen you'll but you have to have a little salt to taste it to me yeah i have salt to taste but like not putting chunky why somebody who constantly needs more salt to not pass out

this is a perfect vehicle and the um the the parm that comes in the shake bottle i think it's the veggie life one it's the one that's like the green and blue you know that brand i probably have something yeah so that parm is good yeah that's when i made remember i made that pasta other pasta salad oh yeah is that what you used yeah i like it yeah that's one of the cheese i mean i miss a lot of cheeses um but that's a cheese flavor i miss not just a cheese sensation because like parm has such a distinct flavor and it gave me that flavor again and i was like oh okay fuck yeah thank you i'll have to make a sandwich when i get home too because i have bread that i need to use or i guess i can freeze it did you use it that you

buy the bread i told you about i don't remember what bread you told me about i told you about it's just like a white bread podcast i sent you a picture of it okay i'll find it it's been a while okay i'll have to look through all of the shady pictures we sent you my favorite is you just sending me all of the kiki pictures and then going never mind you already liked this never mind you already liked this i was late never mind i was i was out in the time change on the beach that was three hours ahead though no but you were on vacation time i was on island time uh-huh is it an island yeah it is so many things are islands i mean if you think about it everything an island really you could just say the continent of the united you know that's a really good point

it connects to mexico though it goes down it's all connected if you connect if you think about north america and south america as a whole also i don't realize how far the dominican republic was i was thinking closer to florida i was thinking closer to florida and i was like you were on the i was basically in south america i went to panama at one point you were like my lack of knowledge of geography is startling and seeing that i was like holy shit i wonder if she knows how far away this is i didn't i really didn't i didn't look i also i felt so stupid like i'd never feel stupid but i just forgot that there would speak spanish there okay well just completely i'm having a lot going on i finished my script that script i've been

working on i finished it uh the day before i left whatever i had to finish it i finished it so like my brain was fried yeah and i got there and people said hola and i said oh yeah but i didn't i realized how much spanish i knew that's perfectly fine oh wow yeah are you better at speaking it or understanding i was better at speaking it oh we should travel to a spanish speaking country together because i'm far better understanding the way i'm speaking yeah i was having full i could understand it like enough but i was having full conversations with folks i was like hmm guess i just need to be immersed in this yeah no that's they're like where did you learn i said school and i said escuela and they were like yeah i remember in ecuador um i would like people

would be like speaking spanish and i would like be like nodding and listening and then someone would translate and then like they would like look at me and they're like you're picking up on this i'm gonna let's let's keep trying and i go oh okay i i guess i am i guess i am but it's it's hard months is better i mean months is pretty good at both it was completely it wasn't either but yeah that's like i should have if i was thinking i would have brushed up with duolingo but i was fine that's impressive um did you take spanish in college like for a semester no that's still impressive yeah and they also take u.s dollars so didn't have to change my money over see that's one where my american ignorance i was i didn't even think of what they i was like yeah i'm bringing

my my u.s dollars yeah i was read i read a blog before and it was like don't don't worry about exchanging your money like at the airport or anything because they take u.s dollars everywhere oh wow so that was nice that is nice and it was all inclusive so all i took out a hundred dollars cash here and so i was really just tipping people yeah um so i didn't really i have like twenty dollars left and then the rest was just tipping so it was relatively i've never been to any place all inclusive it was cool i'm just like the food was i know the food was lackluster which is like which is usually like par for the course with the all-inclusive is like that's what you're getting is a good food yeah um so like the nighttime restaurants were far better than

daytime stuff um so is that like a cruise where you go on it and like you go to the restaurant and like you just don't have to pay for anything huh yeah that's interesting yeah what a weird experience like i would be like whoa i know but you can eat as much yeah but you eat as much as you want they had a buffet the buffet is what was lackluster but that was that's devastating throughout the day so like the nighttime restaurants didn't open to like six or something yeah okay so you just kind of had to bop around do they have like frozen yogurt machines they had they did i think that's like i think more places need honest i didn't they had but then they also had like a separate ice cream bar like full ice cream so like and that was open most of the day

so that was better i had some i did i took my dairy pills still yeah it wasn't wasn't every about three or four times about three times a day i was in the bathroom and i was just like i'm just leaning into it this is what i'm doing welcome to vacation uh yeah um but there but what happened they canceled why i don't know they just said we've canceled your order we ordered some food because megan forgot her food and i also do not have any food here because i haven't gone on grocery shopping and they cancel our food and we've been waiting for do we want to try the one in culver where is their one in culver i don't know but it says it'll take 35 to 50 minutes sure this is so mean that must be new because it used to just be i would go to the one in marina del

rey wow this one's nice because they let me put in when you say gluten-free bread they say preference or i have an allergy they did it the other one too not mine mine did what so cruel because i was like can i change this from being toasted oh you're trying to trying to do all that okay um we'll add the watermelon salad it is new maybe they'll be on top of it for us yeah like it looks really nice look at this holy shit they kept the same color scheme yeah okay add yours mendocino farms is one of those places that like i think people think are synonymous like with la and if they come to travel to la that is one of

the few places that i would say worth worth a shot worth going yeah i like it um i was watching this there's this kid and i think he's like early might be 18 19 early 20s but he does him and his sister do these like incredible kardashian oh yes i know yeah and he's in la right now and has been for like the last week or so and he's just going to places that people are telling him and i'm like that's not why are y'all telling him to go to this place it's not good food oh that's funny yeah i think a lot of those um are very you people get a lot of and i mean like we're both la transplants but like a lot of people get la food recommendations from other la transplants and then it's like they've gotten all their recommendations from transplants and like usually people who have not

been in the city for very long so stuff's not as good but uh once you finish ordering i think we need to figure out by using google what your dream meant now that i know that my dream of my leg getting amputated means that i feel like i can't move forward with a decision but really i think it's because i'm afraid my toe's gonna have to toenails gonna have to be removed okay so then you have to look up what is your dream what does my dream mean if i'm friends with a celebrity i have to say that like i know everybody like no one likes to hear about other people's dreams allegedly but i always thought that like your dreams don't like really mean anything and i had said that before it's like my therapist my therapist was like

you ever have like a crazy weird dream or something like that she's like i love unpacking those like oh interesting maybe i need to go to your therapist oh yeah she's great um but she was like i love like unpacking them she goes sometimes they mean absolutely nothing she's like sometimes like they are in reference to like what you watched the night before but she's like sometimes too like if you're having the and like that she was one of the people who said to me like if you're having dreams of like a lot of my dreams would be like if matz is watching something i would just dream the movie he's watching and she goes okay so you're not sleeping well so like that's an indicator of something but she was like i always find them interesting to unpack not as

like uh a cause or representative but just to bring up a new idea to something and a lot of people she's like a lot of people are receptive to hearing that their subconscious like having their subconscious speak to them through dreams um and i told her about uh how i had a dream about this person who wanted to kill me and i was like what do you think that means she's listening she goes i think you think they want to kill you and i went facts fair you're right yeah i was like that is exactly how i feel and she goes yeah and i think that's a fair assumption so what does yours mean so mine means the thing is most people look up to famous personalities i know no most looks down upon law this means that you have a high self-esteem and confidence you see yourself

objectively and value your self-worth that's facts another good thing about this dream shows that you give importance to your friends in real life you have that one of one or two true friends that you feel proud of you benefit greatly from this friendship and appreciate having them in your life so if you're dreaming about being friends with a celebrity express your heartfelt gesture for the friends you have megan i love you oh my god i love you look at this one too dreaming of being friends with a celebrity is a good omen as per dream meaning and interpretation it's a sign that you will see change of luck and fortune well those were years ago then i guess i did at the time look at you now now i'm not dreaming i'm dreaming about exes now oh dreaming of being friends with

celebrity and then you wake up tensed confused or sad might mean you face scandal or public pressure something you did might result in shame or embarrassment i think this is not a real website well last night i well two nights ago i dreamed about an ex it was very realistic and we were happy and i was like what is i woke up yeah i was like what is this and then i immediately went and looked him up on social media was he married no was he happy yep he's got a girlfriend did you master turn big i just want you to know that i did have a dream about him so like you should check in what like what his subconscious is doing i did not um no okay so hear me out has there been a movie there has to have been that like you are people who keep meeting in dreams like you like

you don't know each other in real life but like you know each other in your dreams and then you meet in real life and you're like no i know you you know i mean it's like you and it my think thought process if you meet chloe kardashian like you'll have like hey my bestie like you have an entire relationship in life and dreams maybe let's write that uh yeah we should write that we have we have to add that to the list of things that we're writing but we i want to seriously like start i'm down oh my god i just i didn't show that i have the most un-fucking hinged what what what was i oh people people who have the same same dreams and meet in their dreams um i want you to know that when i type in shows i will i will let you know afterwards what the

first thing that pops up is what notes but this one it just says divorce through exorcism what that's literally all the note says what does that mean megan look at you in your dreams you're becoming you you need to like try and get those dreams back how i need to figure out like what good moments well i know i can't even say that i haven't i haven't taken any sleep supplement and like i know i'm just saying like in months i've taken like i have some um magnesium that i just kind of take like in the day because it's not like a knock you out it's like you can take one to four and i kind of take it because it has pre and probiotics in it so i'll take like one in the morning or whatever but i haven't been doing any sleep stuff that's so nice

and it's that's not never been the case for me ever yeah we no longer share this yeah you're you're cured from our sleep issues it's so weird is it are you sleeping fine now so i've been having but i'm still having dreams though yeah so it's not deep sleep you know what i'm going down the rabbit hole of um the symptoms of sleep apnea in women my mom has it so because apparently one of them is frequent vivid and regular dreams and not so much snoring and i was like oh let me uh check that out so we did talk about going to sleep therapy and you were like i don't want to go that you can do at your house now nice yeah so i can do that but a cpap machine i'm gonna be like barbara um so i'm wondering do you think i can reverse engineer dreams so

i can look at dream meanings find the ones that have the best meaning and then try and dream about those things seems like a form of manifestation i can't believe you would use that accusation i mean that's like so fucking offensive no like i'm thinking you know how people are like oh optimize hacking your sleep hacking your routine what if i girl bossed it and it's like you know girl boss manifestation all goes together uh-huh but here's the thing so next thing out here is mlm let's start one no but like so i um i can like control my dreams when i'm in them but like to an extent i can like try and wake myself up from a really bad dream i can like if something bad is going on i can be like okay pivot what are you looking at i have a book about dreams

and i'm trying to see where it is keep talking though okay um and i was like it might be something about that in this so i have zero desire to like astral project and like i don't know any of that shit so really what happens for me is like as a kid if i wanted to i can like and i'll do my best i always try and think of like positive things before bed or i'll be like i want to dream about this i want to do about this like you know maladaptive daydreaming i'll try and do that as the intro to my dream of the night, but it will always end up in a nightmare. And then I can usually mitigate the damage of my nightmare, at least wake up from the nightmare and try not to fall back asleep right into it. So there's some control going on there, but I'm thinking that if

I could have the destination that I want to get, the results I want from it, does that still count as having that dream and then having it happen for me? there's a lot of work that went into what you just said lucid dreaming yeah this is what it is um but maybe okay because melissa just handed me the book it's called a field guide to lucid dreaming did jared get you this i feel like jared was no um my friend quinn got me that so i'm okay with the first two bullet points on here open doors to creativity and insight remember dreams and diffuse nightmares and then we have fly shapeshift and reconnect with loved ones a hard fucking pass hard fucking pass on all of those things yeah we're focusing on the first

two okay so yeah this is the thing though the lucid dreaming maybe if there's a component about lucid dreaming that you're like can control a little bit of it like you can because usually what happens if like i'm controlling my dream like so like relatively lucid dreaming in that sense but i'm in a bad i'm in a bad spot and so then i make a choice but then no matter what my dream goes fucked up you did it wrong you picked like there is no real true escaping from it i can do my best to uh eliminate some of the bad but it will not be it's not a choose your own adventure where it ends in sunshine and rainbows the least disturbing dreams i've had have been the having gangrene in my leg and having to amputate my leg and then my friend jerry being getting pregnant

and mots goes so it was just a dream that wasn't a nightmare and i go well it was like very traumatic and we were like living in a shed with like no running water and there were like no lights and like it we weren't sure if the baby was it was like really bad i need you to um when you make tiktoks i need you to comment on my comments because i said what friend got pregnant oh jerry sorry because i post tiktoks and then i never look at the thing is is like i know i would tell you if i texted her bitch i'm sorry i texted her immediately and i said i had a dream you're pregnant if you've recently had sex go get a break like if this was to you i would have done the same thing okay i'm just making oh my god i would never in my life have a dream that one of

my close friends was pregnant i'm not an acquaintance if i had a dream an acquaintance was pregnant if i had a dream that some girl that leo was like i've had a dream that leo got a girl pregnant even if i did not know the girl's face in my dream i would be like hey heads up just to let you know yeah i'm not sitting on that info okay good unless i would never okay it would never the pool of friends is small so i had to ask um but there is a section that's that's called so what is an intention so it's talking about intentional sleeping so my god like acting and then the power of thought so this is what you're talking about and it does say have you ever heard of athletes mentally rehearsing as an important part of their practice

well it's possible that this isn't superstitious science is finding out some pretty interesting stuff proving just how influential the mind can be over its surrounding so i think it is talking about what you're saying is like drink dream it and it will be you know i think as long as this book doesn't jump and goes have you heard of the woman who dreamed herself free of certain ailments and it's like okay that didn't happen um you know maybe i'll try it out yeah yeah this is this is what you want this is exactly what you want it just like has and it talks about how to set the intention yeah but this is saying like it doesn't work if you you aren't working the muscle so if you're working the muscle saying wording is key feel it see it expectation make it your dominant

thought oh my god this is an acting book this is genuinely an acting book you know what i think then it talks about somebody who said i caught a big one it's this person dreaming of flying but it's saying i caught a big one as in like you dreamed what you wanted and then it happened oh i thought they meant that they caught it like a really big wave and they surfed in their dream well it is does say like a fisherman reeling in a fish okay as opposed to dragging it through the water towards his boat it took four people to write this book i'm sorry i'm sure that it's like based in i'm not actually sure it's based in science or anything but i'm like you know just just pals yeah just having thoughts probably got high yeah a little popcorn reading popcorn writing

yeah you know so i think you should read this i think i should read it too you know what my therapist would probably say though she would probably say maybe you can't relax in your dreams because you avoid all of your problems so heavily when you're awake because you only want to catch good vibes that you're having to work out everything in your subconscious and to that i would say sarah you paid a lot of money to be so right it's offensive i know i think i also need to get into my um see remembering my dreams i remember i remember i remember all my dreams since childhood i have this one vivid dream i used to have one about a loch ness monster living at my school and i had to like run and escape from it and my crush was there kyle i used to

call him pipsqueak he's approved me using of his name because i used the name of the book and i asked him on facebook messenger i was like can i talk to you like refer to you by name and he goes i would love that thank you um and i remember like that was like the first dream that i remember having like a running dream and i couldn't and i was but i'm too too slow and it was like awful but it was too fast and i can't catch up to my legs like this is your body separates yeah like it's like i'm going and i can't stop whoa we have now we gotta leave this opposite yeah that's mine is like i can't like i'm running as fast as i can but it's like my legs are cinder blocks and so mine was set at my school but then it transformed into this this camp with this big

pool and i remember this pool specifically because my dad used to run um a summer camp for like at risk youth and they had this big pool but the pool was like a nat it might have been a natural pool in my memory but like you couldn't see the body it was like a pool style lake lake ish pool maybe it was just a lake but it looked like a lake and i remember being like oh my gosh you can't swim in that that's like so gross and so that was where the locked in sponsor was my dream and then another reoccurring dream i had that was a reoccurring one i had all through i think kindergarten and like through elementary school and then another one i had through elementary school reoccurring all the way through probably high school was i had a dream that i was it was like peter pan and

wendy and all that and i was like one of the people like wendy and her siblings and peter pan like comes to the door like to the window and we like hop out of bed and we all go and instead of um us like flying we're in like one of those kind of like janky like kind of rides we're all in different carts and so there's like two by two by two and it breaks down and just my part i'm at the end it falls off and then i fall into the forest full of wolves and then a wolf bites off my finger and i look in my finger and my fingers hollow here's the issue with my dreams i can't ever go like when i told him some of my theories about these she was like yeah these i was like i've never been able to find the meanings because these are incredibly specific so like a wolf bit

off my finger and it was hollow i think you gotta um break it down i know i think it's like you gotta break out yeah each individual i think like falling from a sky i've always had that one reoccurring um and then that one got real fucking bad when that became like a something in my life that was like adjacent that traumatic thing that happened to somebody else and it was like oh now i'm dreaming of this um and then another one that was like this is the only like good dream i've ever remembered and this was like it was a dream this is so like people like i had a dream it was a rock star dream of this the best dream i ever had the only good dream i've ever had that i remembered it was also in elementary school that i had this dream and it was a dream that they

brought pizza to school and i uh ate pizza at school that was my that was the dream that was the best dream i've ever had that i ate pizza at school this is before i was um um you know what actually should have made some more sense to me because i remember being so excited and i woke up so disappointed that i didn't have pizza but i wasn't a big pizza kid so like i didn't like pizza day at school but this dream pizza was the best pizza ever and then i woke up and um there was no pizza hollow finger is a dream thing what's it stands for the path towards your life goals you're acknowledging your own beauty and emotional pill a situation or relationship will be made clear to you or a positive spiritual experience will fill you with warmth and love

the dream is an indication for a simpler way of life you are always opening yourself up to criticism how could i have a simpler way of life than being five i don't know and i'm opening myself up to criticism at five it's a flow of emotions you weren't you were holding back from i don't remember i was that was actually that was around it might have been around the era the age that i saw a movie yeah no well i think i was a little younger than that when i first had that dream because i would have had to see peter pan to have like had a little bit of that knowledge of that there the first time i saw peter pan though i think i saw the play not the movie which is probably actually why i didn't we didn't fly out we were in a trolley cart because

there was no flying in the play that i saw so i just assumed how you get from one place to another is in a car style thing um this website has a completely different meaning yeah that's what is that dream hollow finger dream what's that one say this one said uh that you're in distress that you will come in disguise of happiness distress will come in disguise of happiness your actions and anger affect those around you even though it may be direct at them you are not going anywhere despite your hard work and efforts your dream stands for confusions of chaos in your life the dream is trying to warn you of some accident facts once you get stepped on by the horse oh i was a little older than that

that was like deep in middle school and uh that was i think i got i got stepped on in the horse probably sixth no probably seventh no middle elementary school you actually i mean i had that dream around that same time but it was not the first dream that i had had what about loch ness monster dream loch ness monster loch ness monster and this is the part that's so awful um i was dreaming that this happened at my elementary school and then it's like okay just go back to school and we had a creek at my elementary school and so like it all would look the same and like so the vast majority of my dreams especially now as an adult and i'm sure they did as a kid too but i remember them obviously more now they 99 of them start off

me waking up in my bed the bed that i went to sleep in the night before in the same pajamas you know it's like trying to trick me and i'm going what are you trying to do you fucking evil dreams maybe for one of our uh field trips that we've talked about we go to a sleep analysis like a dream analysis not sleep yeah that's fun would be too much no we won't sleep okay let's see the symbolic meaning of the loch ness monster in dreams monster may represent a talent or an idea you believe others will invalidate or that will not be understood and that's all it says there so i don't know if that's real you know what i like

i like that this is one of those things that you can just pick your own adventure there are so many different ones of these and who decided that this is what these dreams meant i'm sure in like different folklore and like different cultures there are different meanings of different things like lots of different cultures have different omens and if you think about it this way a dream is essentially just an omen in your subconscious if we're unpacking it like that so certain things mean good luck certain things mean bad luck so you can really just pick and choose what you want okay i like that it's oh this one says a dream about block this monster or an essay symbolizes disappointment or misunderstanding in it or misunderstanding in a certain situation or

relationship okay so positive dream meanings how okay what did that mean dream interpretations dream interpretation list dream interpretation list what about you did you have any like you obviously don't have to say if it's like traumatizing i'm not i'm taking i'm not adding in the really really really fucked up ones but did you have any like weird reoccurring dreams as a kid like that i have a lot of dreams uh well i did have a lot of dreams it's not as weird as that but like i'm in a car and i'm driving and this is before i could drive and the brakes just don't work yeah and you couldn't drive in the dream like you were not old enough to drive in the dream not old enough for sometimes but i'd be in the driver's seat or yeah i would be in the

back like it's a self-driving car which maybe i was predicting the future because this has happened where i was in a self-driving car and you had to stop it and then i would be like in the back seat trying to stop it and i couldn't i have a lot of falling ones too yeah i have a lot of falling wake up out of it i hate the question so apparently you're never like i saw this somewhere probably a tweet so it's probably not real um that like you don't die in dreams like you always like wake up before you die do you ever die in your dreams i don't think i have have you yeah what were you doing before like if i like fell out of a building and then i die in my dream i always wake up before i know that's what most people do i desperately need to sleep and like

learn how to feel my emotions because my subconscious is trying to do it all for me i need and i think that's why i'm so tired all the time is gonna be great for you people also keep recommending to me and it's been so kind because first of all my therapist recommended to me she gave me the big precursors called the body keep score and she goes i think you should read this book and she goes but I think you she's like I can't tell you when to read this book she was like this is a very hard book to read I think it'll be helpful she goes I want you to like leave whatever does not resonate with you but like just know that it's it is a it is a painful one and I've gotten like dozens if not like nearly a hundred messages from different people who are

like hey Megan I read this book it was very hard to get through I do think it would be really helpful for you i've had other people and be like in real life being like read this one and i think i just need to like go full throttle read it um read jeanette mccurdy's book i keep saying i'm gonna start it i haven't started it yet and um maybe if i can do that then my subconscious can like relax a little bit because it goes look she's actually not like she's she's attempting okay what is this uh it seems like people do die in dreams okay that makes me feel better some people just be saying shit so water dreams bodily dreams can mean you are feeling overwhelmed or unsupported by loved ones vehicles and cars dream about a vehicle tends to mean nothing in particular

however if you dream about something a car crash or an accident means you have low confidence i hope they just say this so matter-of-factly um if you dream about okay never mind being trapped teeth falling out have you had that one no but i hear that's very common i've never had it yep that one i had i've had babies having children is also common animals being chased by something that's constant um um yeah so this one says um it can mean you're worried about an issue that you have not resolved i want to see what yours are running to running and can't stop dream i did it said like it was like exuberation or something like something good is happening why are all of your interpretations

i don't know and i don't like that why i'm telling you right now that i don't think you want mine because the thing is i'm always trying to figure out what the fuck is wrong oh and they're like it's the same thing when i'm at therapy and they're like you're fine and i'm like i'm not fine maybe your dreams are like you know what i could totally see happening to you this is one of my favorite books actually i can't say that now because i read this book one time this series when i was a teen like a pre-teen so i have no idea if it's held up but like the concept of it i've always found so good it was about this girl who i think she got struck by lightning and that's how she had these feelings but she would her dreams she would like go to sleep and dream and

those dreams would be other like either premonitions about other people's lives or things happening in other people's life and she like couldn't fucking figure it out and then i might be mixing up two books and combining them together but regardless but i found it was i could see like something like that happening to you not getting struck by lightning but having dreams and being like what the fuck does any of this stuff mean and then one day like a chloe kardashian like you see someone you realize like oh my god i've been having dreams about you and your life interesting you know i could me getting struck by lightning actually when i said that because i like because i like to be outside and water and i had a bathtub on my balcony at the hotel and i would just go out

there butt-ass naked wow i didn't really bathe in it i just because it had a little sprout thing and i'm not sitting in it yeah but it had vacation baths or personal pools yes that are just porcelain disgusting but it did have a little removable handle so i just oh yeah do you sing like music video is there like lightning in arkansas like is that like one of those places like i know on the east coast um well so as a kid i used to go to connecticut and pittsburgh to see um my grandparents and specifically pittsburgh i remember um we would be at like the community pool or whatever and it would start raining and i always thought it was so cool that it was summer and it was hot out but it was raining and we were in the pool i remember my cousin being like get out the

pool get out and like literally like hoisting me out and we got out of the pool so fast and then like lightning struck the pool and i like did not know that that was a thing why was it when i was in the dominican republic they have like a the at the hotel like really next to my area there is there was like a water park there and it was raining one day lightning actually i need to tell you this full story of everything that happened but it was raining lightning and they didn't shut down that water pool and people were just in there kiki and having a good time and i was like you have to let the tourists know because i wouldn't have known if my cousin didn't like but also that means that the people working there didn't shut it down i

didn't mean you telling i meant those people i'm like when you're a a destiny whether it's like you're a travel destination but like a water park is will always be a tourist destination you have to let tourists know they do not know just that but it's like they were operating the rides and stuff that were in it like they didn't stop any of them that's so scary same day we went that was the day we went atv uh-huh so it starts like drizzling while we're coming back in muddy and then eventually there's a full pour down the vehicle that we took there was like one of those tourism vehicles that do not have sides on them there's no oh my god what are you wearing i mean it's not just that like i know i had on because the mudding stuff it was stuff that i

i just had on like a tank top and and whatever but it was we had to drive back in the pouring rain as it's coming down on us like all the way back to the the resort and it was 40 and then got on to a no sides yes vehicle 45 minutes in the rain pelting down at the at like a angle it was awful oh my god was it cold and the vehicle no it was hot but like also there were no seat belts on this vehicle so i'm just and my feet i'm short my feet not touching the thing so i am gripped i am oh god white knuckle it was i never i didn't even thought about that because yeah for me in those situations i remember i was in cambodia they are on those tux tux like they have a fucking system so as soon as it starts raining they have these like plastic things and they hook it up and

it doesn't totally work perfectly but i can dig my feet in specifically to stay there and i didn't think about how much scarier that would be if you are just going with your upper body strength this thing did have the plastic stuff but they hadn't cleaned it so it was molded green and so we were like we're not gonna be stuck in here with the mold keep it up but why aren't y'all regularly cleaning this that just means you're not even letting it dry yes that means it's raining too much for you to have a water park all season wow that's freaky yep that's very freaky i do love a summer rain though i do love a summer like it was nice like if we were just driving in it no if we weren't in a vehicle that didn't

have any safety things on it but i did like once we got back to the resort i in your own way to enjoy it yeah yeah that's but it lasted for like two hours there were some other people that were out on a boat they were doing deep sea fishing oh my god well they had i'm sorry so like as soon as we got back you know i don't really drink but i'm like i need a fucking drink so i went to the bar in the lobby and the people that were deep sea this man was like yeah we were out in the boat we were deep sea fishing and the waves came like before because the waves are coming before the rain gets there they're like we were up and down up and down everybody was throwing up on the sides and stuff and i was like good god here's the thing i feel this way about the ocean i feel this way

about space i feel this way about technology i feel this way about horses this these things are not they're not ours they're not this is this is these are not this is not our playground feel this way about most of the world i'm like this place is not our playground you you fuck around you do something like you will never be in control in these situations so like at that point like what the fuck do you like but i'm also like why are you deep sea fishing on vacation you can't take the fish back to cook so you're really just out there for the sport of it that's what i mean I'm like, if you thought that this was a good way for you to spend your vacation, I'm just going to deep sea fish for fun. To me, that goes, I'm okay with dying.

That's just, there are certain things that, like, we just will never have the upper hand in. And so, like, I also am a big believer in, like, you better hope that, like, you or your ancestors didn't fuck with someone in another life that you are going to be, like, the token sacrifice there. Like you need to, how you treat the earth, the different place, all like anytime I see anyone being like disrespectful, like I'm not a religious person, but you're not going to see me walk into a thousand year old church in Europe and just be like, I'm, I'm not going to cover. Like, I'm going to like, you're not going to say, no, I cannot ensure that my ancestors do not have beef with somebody else's ancestors.

and then i have come in here i have broken i have i've committed an act that is that is uh severing a treaty or an agreement that they have made and that i'm the one i'm not bringing that back uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh operate your life that you don't know if your ancestors have curses put on them you know i'm not going to contribute to that nope okay everybody we hope you enjoyed we'll see you next tuesday goodbye Thank you.
