I have been listening to Jarvis Cocker’s podcasts (If you have itunes, search for Jarvcasts) in which he reads folk tales and stories like The Laughing Man by JD Salinger. I am not sure Jarvis Cocker is as hugely famous in
So I have been lulling myself to sleep with his stories and it is no wonder I saw him in my dream last night. He was in a hotel room with his wife and son and somehow I was there too, amazed to meet him and asked him for his photo "for my blog". He agreed and offered to read a story to me. We sat together and he started reading "The Laughing Man". Many hours passed (in my dream) and he was still reading and reading and reading to me. Night came and everybody went to bed. He turned on a little light and he kept reading. When I asked him a question he just looked at me but kept on reading without stopping not even to drink some water. Morning came and Jarvis was still reading without any signs of fatigue. He was holding my hand (I can dream can’t I?) and reading the story. When the story was over, he closed the book, thanked me for listening and left. He was like a modern Hans Christian Andersen.

You are an amazing dreamer!
I can never remember such vivid details; perhaps I don’t even have such details in my dreams.
Good luck at the neurologist today. I hope that you are feeling better soon. SOON!!

I’m interpreting this to me, that you have quite a story to tell about your hand, and like your relationship with Jarvis, we’ll be enthralled until the story ends.
Enjoy the perm.

“I am in it for the free perm” - you are hilarious!!
That was a sweeet dream :), I dream of famous people too, it’s a lot of fun, isn’t it?
And if I had to choose someone to read a story to me, I’m sure Jarvis would be on the list. I’ll go now and think about others to add to the list
Yes, a girl can dream!
(Good luck with the perm)

Fingers crossed your hand is ok, if that’s not me being truly insensitive, bragging about how well my fingers work, and all
January 12th, 2007 at 4:04 pm
Those are the best kind of dreams where everything is peacefull and makes you tingle all over. Sorry about ouor hand though. Hope it all turns out good. (Maybe too much time typing?)

Chloe,
so sorry to hear about your hand..Hmmm..I hope you heard some news by now and everything is ok.
Have a great weekend and happy dreaming
January 12th, 2007 at 8:00 pm
I love that dream
I would love it if anyone (well, anyone with a nice voice) would read me bedtime stories while I was already sleeping.
Hope your hand turns out okay. Will it hurt?

I think curls will look good on you!
I see the neurologist in Feb. … serenity your way.

“I am in it for the free perm” - lol
Having naturally curly hair, I never have to worry about getting my hair permed. But then, I’m a guy, and don’t worry abou much. Being a guy, if I had straight hair, I wouldn’t bother.
Maybe your hand is numb because Jarvis held your hand all night?
Is Jarvis any relation to Joe Cocker?

I hope your hand feels better very soon.
Hugs,
Connie

Thanks for sharing your dream. you dream like me–nothing fantastical just something that makes sense.Things that are in my mind manifested in a way that sometimes I cannot tell my reality from my real life…
…I hope that your hand is okay.
January 14th, 2007 at 1:04 am
I’m looking him up now….

Best wishes for a positive reult at the neurologist. I had the same test 10 years ago in both hands….result was carpal tunnel syndrome. I had both operated on at the same time :o)
January 14th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
I remember Jarvis from Pulp and heard that his solo stuff was really good. What a great dream you had :).
January 15th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
Oooh, I’ve had one of those electromyogram things for my hands and look at what happened to my hair ;o)
I love love looooooooove Jarvis Cocker, my old boss at the Guardian had an amazing picture of him by Jane Bown hanging in her office and I always felt as if he was looking over me…
