oh that sounds painful.. I am glad I have never bitten myself that I know of... I have very sharp canines or eyeteeth or whatever, VERY sharp. I have woken up with strange cuts and bruises before though, many times, I usually attribute it to my sleep walking habits though( I have moved furniture while sleeping before). I get dreams of stuff that seems to happen sometimes, apparently that runs in the family. But anyway to the topic! I had a dream last night and I woke up liking it so much I went back to sleep to keep dreaming it, but I have forgotten it, but I know it involved a friend and the charby comic in some way I wish I remember it.... and I hadn't had dreams in a while too...

I dont think i've ever done anything like that before in my sleep. I guess I could tell you people my dream, but I warn you, there is something slightly disturbing in it. I dont mind analysing your dreams Amelius, i've already researched quite a bit of them, but twice when I tried to post, something on my computer popped up and erased it

Yes I have odd habits at night, the night I moved furniture I found a stool form the kitchen in my room, my metro pass in my hand( it is a type of bus/subway pass), my alarm clock off and some other odd things indicating another night wandering the house....
but yes please do share your dream!!! disturbing or not I am sure it is very interesting! ;D

Fine, but I gave ye fair warning.
Im living in this house far away in a forest with my grandparents and all these little children. There is a horrible evil presence about. Lately there have been several incidences where a child just loses his or her mind and trys to kill everything in sight.
Im in this room with my grandparents with all these photos and paintings and stuff on the walls. My grandfather is telling me a story about his ancestor who was impaled on his own cane. Grandma is shaking her head and saying "just awful, just awful". He introduces the guy as being a saint and im thinking "grandpas ancester was a saint?" he says they still have the cane that killed him and he points to a place on the wall. I look and there is a giant wooden male reproductive organ but pointy and with a blade running down one side mounted on the wall, and im freaking out in my head thinking "why the hell would they keep something that killed there ancestor? of course he got impaled, if you slip even once while your carrying that thing your dead"
There is a knock on the door and a kid pokes his head in the room and says that (girls name) is acting "different". I go outside and this girl whos name I know, I know the names of all the children in the dream, is walking forward with this blank look on her face and her arms stretched out in front of her. Adults with pitch forks are coming at her in front of her but then backing away and children are sneaking up behind her with sticks and at first im afraid that the children are going to get hurt, but then I remember that the girl is just posessed by a demon and only has the power of a little girl. All those people who are getting shoved aside are just letting themselves be defeated because they're scared.
I put myself in front of where she is walking and her eyes lock onto me. She starts saying "say it like you mean it" over and over. I launch myself into her and im trying to squeeze the life out of this lttle girl. At first im winning and I think that I am right about her having the powers of a little girl, then shes beating me and I think she does have the powers of a demon, then im winning, then im losing, then im winning, then im losing and it keeps alternating like that until she bites my hand and I wake up biting my own hand.
See? that dream does not speak well of me if you read the different signs. I hope you dont judge me too harshly on this dream, I dont know where all these wierd dreams are coming from.

O_________o bad images... I had a strange dream last night:
I was standing in a field. The field was normal, except all the plants and flowers were white. I was the only thing that had color... I was wearing all white, though... I walked through the feild, and everywhere I walked, things turned black. The robes i was wearing turned black.... Lots of things burst out of the ground to try to stop me from walking, but I kept on going. soon, I was walking in a desert. my feet started sinking into the ground, but a shining figure reached his hand down. I grabbed it, and to my horror, his shiny-ness (for the lack of a better word) went away. He turned all black, and devoid of light. He helped me out of the hole, but his shinyness could not be recovered. I continued walking. I came to a dark lake. I was walking down into it, and was not floating up to the top. I didn't need to breathe, so I just kept walking. I saw a light at the bottom, and I went to it. It was a glowing orb. Inside this orb was a boy's face. It glared at me. The orb shone brighter and brighter, and I woke up at 3:56 AM.

I figure i'll do Amelius' dreams little by little instead of tackling it all at once. First i'll do some of the recurring stuff.
Running for pleasure means you are held back by your own hesitation. A race means the competitiveness of life, your feelings while being in the race show your inner assessment of how you feel you are doing in the passage through life.
The hill can mean an obstacle or difficulty or it can mean the climb to higher atainment. Going uphill means difficulties; hard work or effort; the first half of your life or life itself if it feels like an uphill struggle. The lake means the inner world of feelings and fantasies; the unconscience. Swamps mean fealings that undermine confidence and well being, it might depict feelings about a relationship, perhaps with your mother.
The trains may symbolize the energy that takes you through and the carriages are the compartments of your life.
Dams represent repressed emotions and drives, such as ambition or sexuality. There is often tremendous power or energy waiting to be used or directed. Bridges represent crossing from one phase of life, can mean leaving youth behind and meating old age. The connection between yourself and another. Passing over obstacles and difficulties.
So far, my personal analysis would be that as you contribute with others in the race through life you feel, you are not needed but rather, simply contributing for personal pleasure. As you move through swamps and go uphill, you are on a personal and deeper quest to find yourself. The lake is your subconscience and the trains and buildings are an access to your mind. This is my analysiss, it came from no book, though inspired by one, so you dont have to trust this.
The bathroom symbolises privacy; a place where you need not worry about others.
I personally think that the haunted feelings and lack of doors on stalls represent the fact that even in your most private place, you still nead to worry about others. Notice that your bathroom is a public one, you have nowhere that you can escape the stresses of others.
I think that you have feelings of insecurity about your importance in life and you have a great need to search and understand yourself. You have a lot of repressed emotions and you have a lot of stress concerning others (fans of CTV like myself might be helping this stress, sorry).
I'll do more later, but right now, I have things to do.

Hmm, I’ve been busy for a while and catching up with all of these threads while half asleep is doing funny things to my state of mind =>.<=
I’ve had a sort of Charby related dream. Amy was either a spirit that lived among us in human form, or a human with supernatural gifts. Anyhow, there was this place, there were ancient stone statues and buildings with carvings, and it was all overgrown and mossy. It was her place and where people came when they wished to ask for her wisdom, which only people of a small spiritual group did. Everyone else seemed oblivious to the significance of this place and there were plans to build offices on the site, and we were protesting against it.
If I were to analyse this, it’s because I’m working on ideas for my own comic, and while I really hope I don’t end up copying anyone in any way, since I use photoshop to colour, Charby is my first reference when I’m stuck.

I have to admit that I am quite impressed with rehiro's analysis of Amy's dreams. I know that we only get to know each other here in a tenuous way, since we could all be misrepresenting ourselves, but some of the points he makes seem to really fit my impression of Amy.
With so much of herself put into this comic, it's no wonder she feels a lack of privacy, and I have always gotten the feeling that she does not really realize how much other people appreciate the value of her work.

I don't remember dreams very often. I may have had a dream with the CTV characters in it, but I can't think of any. Nice analyzing, Rehiro! That's petty nifty. Where's you dream dictionary? (online or paper)

wow, I am impressed! A lot of that does make sense to me (last time I tried to look up stuff like that nothing applied to me at all) and indeed this did seem to hit it on the mark, though I wouldn't say that you guys are what is stressing me out, a lot of it is juggling the comic, sleep and friends at the same time (I think of you all as good friends too but I mean the ones I live near ^_^) I have some pretty sensitive friends it seems, who get bent out of shape if you dismiss going to sit at a restaurant to sit at home instead and draw a comic. I see them every night of the week so I dunno what the big deal is anyway...and I tend to get a lot of "what's more important to you, the comic or your friends?" type stuff from my mom because she guilts me to death if I don't leave the computer! ack, not the place for this so I will move on. Anyways, you guys are great so please don't feel guilty! The only other stress I can say I get from doing the comic is hoping it will be good enough for people that have been so nice to me, but belive me a long time ago I probably thought it was nuts to sit at a computer for 12 hours working on a single page. You're all worth the effort though! And I'm not just saying that to make you feel better. Posting that comic and interacting with you fine folks is a high point in my day!

Amy, I just don't think you realize how awesome we all think you are! That doesn't mean you have to spend hours trying to please us, it means we appreciate what you do no matter if it takes 1 hour or 20. It really is your imagination that hooks people (although your artwork is great). I think I speak for all of us when I say we don't want you to kill yourself over each comic! We like you alive, even if that mean we don't get a comic every day.
I don't want to trash your friends (or your Mom) but guilt trips are just not needed in this world. Personally, I can't maintain relationships with people that need that much maintenence...I have several good friends who I get together with when it suits us, but we don't have to talk every day. Maybe some of that is just natural when you get older...now I'm sounding patronizing...sorry!
Mostly, I just wanted to say that you don't have to worry about "us" (comic fans), we will always be here for you, even when you spend less time on Charby.

You are as of yet useful Amelius! MWA-HA-HAA! Sorry. Anyway, couple things, Amy (may I call you Ames?) We'd much rather have you than the comic. If you can only update every once in a while instead of regularly, I'm sure no one here will mind. You've proven that you care about the comic. There are too many people out there who just kinda go 'Hey people are visiting my site regularly! Do I wanna update this week? Meh.' And disappear without warning. We know you won't do that! Take some time off! Just let us know approximately how long you'll be gone and we'll be content.

I dont know... if I thought that it would be better for Amy to spend less time on the comic, then I would most definately suggest she do so... but I know what its like to try to fill ones mind with an insane hobby. It is her art, and I think that she is better off with the comic than without. Perhaps she should spend less time on it, but its not quite so easy to just give up such a large part of your life and force yourself to relax. Still, i've recently been working on the theory that my obsessiveness is not healthy, and she surpasses me. I find it admirable that she can work so hard without someone constantly forcing her to do so... still im not completely convinced that she would be better off spending less time on the comic.
In the end however, I dont think that I could give an appropriate answer as I am not her. Perhaps she should try updating less often and see how that goes.
Sorry, that I, once again, have no time to analyze dreams, perhaps if I had Amys determination, I would be able to do so but i've been really busy lately.

I'm not suggesting that she force herself to do anything that would force her to slip out of healthy routine or anything, I'm just saying that, should she want time off, she doesn't need to worry about us.

Yeah, I feel like an idiot now.
The only thing I was trying to say was, Amelius has not yet taken a break from writing Charby, and im afraid that she dosent really want to stop and we're all telling her that there is something wrong with her. If she wants to take a break, I wont criticise her for it, but if by chance, this is what she enjoys doing, then there is nothing wrong with that either.

while we are back on the dream topic... I had a CTV dream. It had alot of the characters, but it focused on Hex. I'd talk more about it but it is a bit hazy and the parts which stick have a very private personal feel, like the issues involved were mine somehow... and I'd rather not talk about it if they ARE mine, I'd rather wait until they got settled before I go talking about them, mostly because they were kind of violent...

Oh. Well...
I had a dream about Sanji, Zerlocke, and water polo. I could travel with them if I could make a "horseless basket." I asked Sanji what it was, and he showed me that you had to kick a basketball into a backet without a horse. I didn't do it. Well, at first, but then Naruto helped me. And I did it.

I had a CTV-related dream once... I don't remember what it was about, but I remember the character. Imagine, if you will, a female Phineas. She looked just like Phineas, but with a tube top and a more feminine face. Oh, and she had Fay's hair. Man, I'd love to see someone draw that. I need to stop eating peanut butter before bed.
