I kept waking up and falling back to sleep around 4 or 5 this morning and I would keep having this recurring dream. I dreamed I was watching Jersey Shore and one of the cast had a crwth--the Welsh bowed instrument--and they were having this big argument over how it was supposed to be played. The even weirder thing is that I have NEVER seen Jersey Shore--ever. I think it's on MTV which I haven't watched since it was a music video channel--that's how long it's been since I've seen MTV. I don't know why I would dream that I was watching a program I've never seen and never will see no matter how long it manages to stay on the air. That was weird. And everytime I feel back to sleep, they would continue to argue over how a crwth is supposed to be played. There was no other context to the dream. I don't where I was watching it, what time it was, why I was watching it...I was like a detached, passive observer with no history and no future. I was just there, just watching the creeps on Jersey Shore arguing over how to play a crwth. For that matter, I'm not sure how I knew it was Jersey Shore that I was watching but I just know that's what it was. Fucking TV. I feel like Mr. Thoth in "The Crying of Lot 49": "This filthy machine, it invades your dreams."
