I'd previously blogged about "Ghost Hunters" here...twice. This afternoon, I got to listen to an episode of their latest radio program "Beyond Reality" where they talked about...dreams. The episode dated, March 15, 2008, had two segments: the first featured the "Dream Dudes" Nicole and Michael Sebastian; and the second featured paranormal investigator Frank Konstantinos.
In the first segment, they discussed how real world events trigger memories of long-forgotten dreams. Jason talked about a dream he had when he was a child involving a T. Rex chasing him into the "Happy Days Diner". Oddly enough, his story recalls my own long-forgotten dream where I was standing in front of a stage that was infested with Velociraptors.
In the second segment, Frank Konstantinos talked about how people can take control of their dreams. In a previous blog, I talked about a dream where I was about to flunk a test thinking that it must be one of those "Oh no, I'm back in school!" nightmares. Back in grade school, I'd dreamt about being in a classroom that looked familiar yet different. Thinking it was a dream, I secretly snapped my fingers trying to wake myself up...to no avail.
Oh well, it's nice to see Jason and Grant take time off their very busy schedule to do another radio show. I'll definitely be looking forward to the next episode.

Just kidding. What can I say? I'm a Star Wars geek. But enough about me.
This is the fourth time I've dreamt of these lovely twins. Like most people, I've been a big fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley since 1987...when they were only nine months old. (They'll be twenty-two years old in June.) In my dream this morning, they were thirteen years old. At that point, I was working for them as a graphic artist. (They were multi-millionaires by the age of six.)
I don't remember much of the dream but I do remember Ashley asking me about some storyboards she had commissioned. I remember finishing the first set so I told her I hadn't started the second set but I'd have it ready by the deadline. A couple more things happened in the dream (Mary-Kate was there too.) but I only have a vague recollection of those.
Thre are two reasons why I had this dream. One of the reasons was last night I saw Disney's "Aladdin" on cable. I checked IMDb for "Aladdin" movie info...then followed the links to Lea Salonga's IMDb page where I discovered that she was in Mary-Kate and Ashley's "Olsen Twins Mothers Day Special" (circa 1993).
The second reason was that my cousin called me yesterday. I had done some storyboards for her (seven at the last count) and now I'm trying to avoid her like the plague. Why? Well, while I got paid big bucks for the first three, I haven't been paid for the rest. And considering my dire financial situation these days, I'm not really inclined to do freebies...especially when doing those freebies take a physical toll on me. So I've resolved not to take any assignments from her until I get paid first. There!

Well, actually no...but it looked like it could've been. Anyways, my dream this morning looked like it was a new "Harry Potter" movie. Although I've seen every "...Potter" movie made so far, I haven't read any of the books. So if my description of "...the Half-Blood Prince" doesn't fit what's in the novel...well, now you know why.
In my dream, there are these three wise man. They have magic powers that make 'em look like the Three Magi, but wise they're not. Instead, they act more like a magical version of the Three Stooges as they bumble and fumble with their magic. They were trying to transform a creature into a mighty steed but they couldn't quite get it right.
Then comes this more powerful mage that looks like a cross between Lucius Malfoy and Prince Nuada from the upcoming movie "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army". This mage not only successfully creates a mighty steed, but he later tranforms the steed into a three-headed dog. But unlike Fluffy in the "Harry Potter" books, this three-headed dog looks like a white wolf...wearing an armor that makes it look at home in the recent movie "The Golden Compass".
And as if that wasn't enough, the mage then morphs the steed into...a gigantic World War II era motorcycle! Weird.
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is currently filming and will be in theaters on November 21, 2008.
