Dreams about dead mothers and sharks... and Lindsay Lohan

On Friday night I had a really weird, curious dream. This is nothing new to me, my dreams are always weird, bizarre, strange etc. But this one was just... funny strange and funny weird.

I was at a beach. There was a long pier to my left. And high, awesome-for-surfing waves, about a 6ft-8ft swell. My mom was there too. Which was cool since I only ever see her in photographs and in my dreams, bless her soul. And also there was... Lindsay Lohan? Yep. Strange but true. A dearly departed mother and a troubled (ex?) actress. So what happened was this:

Lindsay Lohan was my friend. She appeared to be a good friend. There were some other girls there too, they were all my friends. Anyway, they were all surfing the awesome waves. My mom and I walked along the pier and watched them surfing. That's when we spotted the Great Whites' silhouettes in the waves. There were quite a few Great Whites. Being from Cape Town, and having witnessed these magnificent, graceful creatures up close, their presence in my dream wasn't too strange. So mom and I saw their silhouettes while the other girls were surfing. Scene 2: Lindsay is on the pier, trying to get me to go surfing too. Begging me to suf with her, in actual fact. My mom was like "My angel, she is bad news. Don't go in the water, it is shark infested. This girl is only going to cause you harm." Right, so I told Lindsay I wouldn't be joining them for the surfing. And as we watched from the pier, even more sharks showed up. All the girls were fine, the presence of the Great Whites was a total non event. Weird. For them it was like swimming with a piece of kelp. Or something. Cut to the next scene.

Lohan and our friends were walking along the beach to a friend's beach house. There were broken beer bottles littering the beach. I got my foot hooked on a fishing hook. It was sore. And bloody. I got the feeling these girls were up to no good, so I left. And then I woke up.

I Googled shark dreams. One site says it means feeling threatened, feeling vulnerable, taking a victim stance or preying on others. So... am I feeling threatened or vulnerable? There may just be some truth to my dream. I have been having a hard time with my health of late. My right foot is buggered, thank you Rheumatoid Arthritis, and there may be one or two situations in my private life that have left me feeling somewhat vulnerable. The cool thing is that my mom was there to protect me. I am 31, I can't remember when last I needed my mom to protect me although I guess Carol was always in "mommy mode", looking out for my sister and I. Bless her. I miss her so much. Right so that's Great Whites and my mom's presence in my dream taken care of... WTF does it mean when you dream about Lindsay Lohan? Any thoughts? One site says that when you dream of being good friends with a celeb, it means you want someone close to you to emulate that celeb. Uhhhhhhm..... NO THANKS!

So anyway, that was my dream. I wanted to share. It's arbitrary but strange enough to have caught my attention. I am now hungry. Made a delicious Cheese Fondue last night for our good friends Barbs. I roasted pork, potatoes and veggies and those were our dippers. Yummy. Yes please. Tons of leftovers yet I feel for something different. What would go down brilliantly right now is Chili Con Carne and tortillas. Ooh droooool. Off to the kitchen to see what I can rustle up. Happiness for right now is a plate of good food, a hot water bottle and a really good DVD.

Be well :)
