The Dream About "My Cousin" Tim Gunn

[kybearfuzz]

Another one out of left field:

I'm watching some strange television program and as the credits roll, I see my name, my father's name, and then my father's name with the final surname listed as "Gunn." I'm not sure what the show was about, but it felt like a documentary involving my family (and obviously me). I email Tim Gunn, who I think was involved with the documentary's production, and he and I agree to meet.

My sister and I meet Tim who takes us to a wharf where he's shooting something else. We pass a couple who seems to know Tim, but he doesn't look happy to see them. The couple looks like a rough pair of bikers, the guy I don't remember, but the lady wore a scarf on her head and seemed unhappy. The pair walk away and we continue down the walkway.

So we wandered on this small barge and Tim gets very depressed, sits down on the edge of the ship, and starts to cry, saying that he will never get over him. I ask Tim it's okay to give him a hug and he nods "yes." I wrap my arms around him and give him a squeeze.

I finally ask him, "Are you okay?"

Tim responds, "You know the only thing I'd never wear?"

"What?" I ask.

"Your tee-shirt," he says laughing.

I realize I'm wearing some green tee-shirt with a goofy logo. And I laughingly agree, it's not something I'd expect him to wear ever.

To lighten the mood, I tell Tim, "You know we're related somehow."

He brightens up considerably, saying that he knows that and he was checking his thesis on exactly how. Apparently in my dream world, Tim has an advanced degree that involved his genealogy. He states that he can bring it the next time we meet and we can look through it. He tells me that our family is from Massachusetts.

"You know," he says, "where the writings were all bawdy!"

And then I woke up.

To my knowledge, I'm not related to Tim and my family history doesn't involve anyone from Massachusetts. I do like the bawdy part though.

My dreams are odd collections of things. I've been watching past seasons of Project Runway so I'm guessing that's why Tim Gunn is in the dream. I have to admit I find him fascinating. :)

What a great dream. I normally don't remember mine, but this past week I had a dream I was living in the Beverly Hillbillies mansion and it was haunted. I kept expecting to see the ghost of Irene Ryan and was disappointed when I did not. It was a disturbing and scary dream, but at the same time I'm like "I'm living in the Beverly Hillbillies mansion!"

Oooh! That would have been cool too. A message from Irene from beyond the grave. It probably would have been something like, "don't eat the possum!"

And I wonder how much of the interiors of that mansion set were the same as the real exteriors of the actual estate.

What a fun dream... and told as truly as dreams can be, for a dream. What is it that Shakespeare says in the Tempest ? "...sleep that knits the worried sleeve of care" - perhaps a fitting metaphor for Mr Gunn's appearance in your dream.
