Last night I dreamt that I was a senior in high school, and a friend and I showed vids for the talent show. Except for some reason our vids didn't have music, so we were looking for some versatile instrumental stuff to play over the vids. I think we settled on selections from J Dilla's Donuts.

That gave me a grin when I woke up.

I tend to hold the view that my dreams mean little, if anything, but I do wonder if the dream was in part about my reluctance to share my vidding with RL people. Dream!fray was feeling pretty confident about it.

My RL people don't know about my secret life as a vidder, either! I've mentioned it on occasion, like that time I had to upload a vid at my brother's place when my internet was dead, or when my aunt asked me what I needed those video files on my HDD for. :)) But none of them seemed interested enough to want to see a vid or ask more questions, and I don't want to bore them with it.

Same thing with my online friends-from-before-I-started-vidding, really. I've showed one or two vids to a few of them, they'll say "oh, nice" and get on with their day while I get all excited by myself. /o\

I don't think they realize how much time I actually spend with that hobby, or that it even *is* a hobby.

yeah, my RL friends are probably not that interested either, but maybe a few of them would like some of my more recent vids.

when I first started, my partner would talk about my vidding to my parents, my friends, his cousins...finally I got him to shush up. lol.

I get the impression that a lot of vidders don't share their hobby with RL people. I feel like people will start to back away slowly...or at least they would if they had any idea how much time, money, and effort went into it. :)
