Dreams about juggling
... what are they all about?
I remember three of the dreams I had about juggling (though I know there were a few more). Compared to how much I juggle in real life I feel like I don't dream very often about it.
I want to tell you about the dream I had yesterday:
My flatmate had his first juggling performance (in real life he juggles very little but performs often as a clown) and I was watching it.
He wore a suit and did some poetry while doing some juggling tricks. I was impressed by the tricks that he did, as they were better than what I was expecting.
The last trick that he did though was something I've never seen before.. he juggled 4 balls in a fountain pattern but with the two of his feet.
Throughout the rest of the dream I was very baffled and walked around talking to people about this. Also I met other people I knew (from real life) that (in real life) normally didnt juggle who showed me some tricks.
One of the other two that I remember was quite similar; an old friend of mine did an impossible(!) trick and afterwards talked a bit about it and explained why he had started practicing it.
The third one (though chronologically the first) was about a big juggling parade in which strange people did impossible things. It occured to me when I was about a half a year into juggling.
What do your dreams that involve juggling look like?

I can't remember a single juggling dream I've ever had (I'm not even sure I've ever had one) but then I've been juggling for over 2 decades[1] so that's a lot of dreaming to take account of.
Anyway, on a whim I looked up juggling in a dream dictionary: https://dreammoods.com/cgibin/dreamdictionarysearch.pl?method=exact&header=dreamsymbol&search=juggling
Apparently dreaming about juggling means either:
- you have a very busy life and you're struggling/failing failing to cope
- you have a very busy life and you're coping just fine
Which is possibly the lamest, most blatant attempt at a Barnum statement that I've ever read.

I dream about juggling quite often. Last night I dreamt that I beat my 9 ball personal best. It felt very easy as if everything was in slow motion. I was pretty disappointed when I woke up.

I've had a few dreams (not for along time though) where I am seeing something really different that I've never seen before. I try to remember when I wake up but can't seem to visualise it. I'm not sure if there ever was actually anything to visualise.
I've also had the occasional dream that people are watching me and I can't juggle at all. I'm trying but can't seem to keep the balls from dropping. It's an insecure kind of feeling, I'm glad when I wake up.

I just remembered another juggling dream I had a few years back. I kept Falco Scheffler in a shed on an allotment. It sounds slightly sinister but it was actually quite a friendly understanding. He was allowed to come and go but I kept him there to teach me box variations. In the dream I was dropping off some music to him. Weird..
Hmmm.... Which other jugglers would we like to keep in a shed to teach us stuff? New thread? Hijack this one?

I can think of several jugglers who have sheds I'd like to visit.

If we're keeping them for personal use, does it have to be a shed? Or would the basement do?
I'd keep mine in the kitchen. I hate doing dishes.
Although I would probably have to buy unsmashable plates, otherwise it would look like a Greek wedding had taken place every evening.
Depends on the ceiling height, I suppose. Do you have a roomy, high-ceilinged basement to keep jugglers happy in?
I love the way that whilst you are contemplating keeping a juggling in your basement, you are concerned about their juggling welfare and considering the ceiling height.
Very compassionate!

I wasn't

I think the dark dampness of a basement might have a negative effect on their teaching ability, you might end up with a Gollum down there. In a shed they get plenty of fresh air.

social experiment.
take two exceptional jugglers of equal skill.
Put one in a nice clean air conditioned room with windows and marble floors.
Put the other in a dank basement with mediocre artificial lighting and a ceiling that is just high enough.
See what kind of tricks they each come up with.
I have 3 more sheds than the maximum number of objects I can juggle.
Thought you'd like to know that.

Nigel Green has one more shed than you

Michael Falkov would be a great one. He may have stayed with me for a few days when he was a special guest at Waterloo. This guy breathes juggling, and it's amazing.
Murakami Tsubasa would also be high on the list. I'm sure he'd come up with stuff faster than I could learn it, anyway.

Murakami would definitely be my choice. It's as if his juggling is from the future.
I just remembered a recent dream in which I was being some kind of Jason Bourne character (as usual) and was using some public facilities which were situated in a small shed (somewhat a la Farmer Paul) when I observed the bad guys sneaking up on my position. I was obliged to bash my way out of the unobserved side of this shed with my shoulder and then fly off while trying to pull up my trousers. Apparently it was a slapstick Bourne film, who knew.
(sheds are on topic anywhere right?)

No dreams that I remember but I have actually have had a nightmare where I forgot how to juggle.
woke up in a cold sweat.

I once dreamt that for some reason, a number of my friends and I were being locked up. In our jail cell, there were a few bales of hay to sit on, and we each had 3 juggling balls. I was juggling, a ball went off my foot, and rolled well out of reach, to a (free) friend. It hit her foot.
She looked up, and scowled at me so intensely I woke up. She was a juggler in real life, I don't know why she'd be so angry at a ball hitting her foot!
I dream at least once in a week about convention. And the funny thing is that I'm never juggling, nor do I see other jugglers practicing or performing. But I know this is a juggling convention because in the dream I'm always involved in the organisation, so I have stuff to do.
Strangely, there's almost always something huge and unexpectable like the IIIrd world war, or a zombie attack (luckyly not always), which is not that strange in the end because it's quite usual for me to fight zombies or monsters in my dreams.
You get used to this strange mix.
