from Rob Brezsny's book Pronoia is the Antidote to Paranoia :
"Make up a dream in which you violate a big taboo without hurting anyone."
my made-up dream:
"I was walking in the woods, in late spring or early summer, on a nice day, and i came to a clearing where i saw a bunch of my friends, and also Robert Anton Wilson, and also Alex from the movie 'A Clockwork Orange.' And one of my friends there was Michael, whom i fancy. He was wearing a wig of black feathers, and he and Alex were discussing something, i think it was marinara sauce. And suddenly i put my hand on Michael's arm, and he stoppd talking and looked at me. And then i kissed him on the lips, quickly. He stared at me, startled, but then he threw his arms around me and kissed me right back. And a shaft of sunlight beamed down into his head and filled his whole body with sunlight--golden--and then the light entered me, from his mouth to mine, and filled me too. R.A. Wilson picked a leaf off the tree, rolled it into a joint, and started smoking it. He offered it to Michael and me, but we were high enough already. He then offered it to Alex, but ALex said he would prefer it in milk, so he and Wilson wandered off to find a cow."
Yeah, i know it's incredibly silly.
wait....should this be in Literate Chaotic instead?

Depends. Do you want to brag about this piece? :wink:
I just learned that made-up dreams are just as boring to read as regular dreams.
I can't even find out what the taboo is :?
That's a sign that it isn't a very big taboo.
The taboo is: randomly kissing a guy i am not even dating or anything (tho i do like him). I guess context is key here.
I guess it's not that big a taboo, but if i did kiss him IRL, he'd probably be like "what?!" and come to think of it, it might constitute sexual harrassment. :oops: So yeah, that would be a taboo, and not a real good one to break IRL.
As for dreams, well, i had a real dream about this same guy, in which i gave birth to a baby daughter and he became the baby's godfather or something. It was a little unclear...
Man, that's......incredibly tame.
Yeah, in a manner of speaking, i guess so. Just out of curiosity, what would you suggest?
Find racier taboos to fake break?
I had a dream in which I was a 6-foot-tall half-Chinese, half-Dutch American man having incestuous gay sex with my identical twin. It was great because it was like I was sucking my own dick.
