Ever had recurring or serial dreams? I never have had the same dream twice or and continuing sagas....
Speaking of strange, today's bit of Scientology news from LaLaLand:
I hear that Katie Holmes is driving Warner Bros. Pictures absolutely batty with her insistence - or maybe it's boyfriend Tom Cruise's insistence - that a Church of Scientology official accompany the starlet every step of the way on her "Batman Begins" press tour.
Warner Bros. international marketing execs have been firing off agitated E-mails expressing severe frustration that the 26-year-old Holmes' Scientology adviser, a twentysomething brunette identified as Jessica Rodriguez, has been monitoring (and occasionally interrupting) every single press interview when not giving Holmes religious instruction. "Tom pays Jessica to 'Keep Katie on the path,'" reports a Lowdown spy. "She goes everywhere with Katie - she's never more than a quarter-step behind her. When you ask her who she is, she says, 'I'm Katie's best friend.' She's known her for six weeks!"
Adds the spy: "Warner Bros. is going out of its way to be nice, has been nothing but gracious, and Jessica is very condescending to people around her, and she continues to ask a thousand questions: 'What time does the plane leave?' 'How long is this interview going to take?'
"While in London, Jessica interrupted interviews with things like, 'Tom on the phone for Katie.' She was at 'Regis and Kelly,' 'GMA.' She's always around. She sat in on USA Today - that's why they did such a nasty article."
Yesterday, Holmes confirmed at a London press conference that she was officially converting to the religion founded in the 1950s by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. Her announcement seemed to provoke a glare from her "Batman Begins" co-star Michael Caine.
But the studio downplayed reports of tension. "There's no discord between us and Jessica," said a rep for Warner Bros. "We, in fact, made Jessica's hotel reservations for her and brought her along on our plane. If she's someone Katie wants to travel with, that's fine. The people who made the tour made every effort to accommodate her. It's a very amicable situation." Lloyd Grove
Well, I have a recurring dream where I'm going to a final in a class that I've not attended all semester - usually a math class, and I'm wandering the campus trying to figure out which building and room the thing's in. I haven't been in college for 25 years. But I still have that dream.
Strange.
I prefer continuing sagas, but I rarely get them. My dreams are so vivid and the experiences quite fun, sometimes odd, but always interesting, so I'm always curious as to what's going to happen next.
This entire topic is ironic because last night I had a dream that disturbed me - about a friend I haven't seen in a long time. It had bothered me all day and I wondered if I should get in touch and then of course I checked in here and we're talking dreams. Go figure.
The most memorable was after my grandmother had passed away. I was standing in her yard and looking up at the clouds. There were red, white and blue. As I continued to look at them they began to decend. The clouds changed into roses, beautiful blue roses.
