Show 10 THE SIGNPOST Wednesday, May 2, 1990 'Dreamline' this Friday could bring meaning to dreams (USAACIN) The sleeper awakes just as the pink Cadillac roars off. It's probably time for a checkup, says Barbara Rothermel. "Dreams are messages from your inner self," she says. "If you catch that message or dream on the first bounce, it's very clear." For people who caught a dream on that first bounce and would like some interpretation, the College of Metaphysics in Windyville, Mo., opens its second annual National Dream Hotline from 6 p.m. CDT Friday until midnight CDT Sunday. College faculty members and students will answer calls and talk through the caller's dream, offering possible interpretations of the symbols and scenes. Branch hotlines also will be open in selected cities. Dream interpretation was not Freud's idea; history bulges at the seams with stories of lands conquered, fortunes lost and loves reclaimed because someone had a strange dream. "Through every culture ... dreams have been important," Calvin and Hobbes Rothermel says. "But before, they've been important to a shaman, or a medicine man or the leaders of a nation." Today, with a little help from the self-actualization movement and the mass media, "There is more talk about ourselves as whole individuals," she says. Rothermel, who holds a doctorate in metaphysics, is a faculty member and adviser at the college in the small farming town in south -central Missouri.

Patrick Read Johnson's script and direction are nearly as makeshift, with no sense of pacing or of selective emphasis. The film never builds to specific moments or jokes, but simply bumps along as ineptly as the martians fly their spacecraft. Johnson also selects a few jokes, and runs them into the ground. One martian, for example, says "Die Earth scum!" at least a half-dozen times (but it never gets any : funnier). There is room for fresh humor and entertaining parody in the sci-fi genre the recent, under-rated "Tremors" offered ample proof. But "Spaced Invaders" is, as my daughter so aptly put it, stupid ... and boring.

If you're especially industrious, you might want to rig up some electrical wire to your human sculptures and, with a few colored bulbs and ornaments, set them aglow with the warm radiance of Christmas. Even more ambitious goals might be to build small scale human replicas of famous landmarks: the Eifel Tower, the Sphinx, Joan Collins, or Mt. Kushmore. Next, for the final suggestion. let's explore the exciting and mysterious world of science as we investigate the functions and reflexes of the human body. Retire to the restroom with your Tupperware bowl and fill it with lukewarm water, that is. Then, gently place the bowl beside your intended victim, raise their hand. .. if you can see this one coming, well, you're cleverer than you give yourself credit for. For the slower of you out there, let's just suffice it to say that if you do this trick right, the library janitorial staff will soon have to drag out the carpei steam-cleaning equipment. And, as if that isn't funny enough, have some friends help you move a victim and the couch they're sleeping on to a new locale that will have them scratching their noggins when they awake: the periodical section, the duck pond, the middle of Harrison Boulevard at rush hour, on a Greyhound headed for Nashville. That'll teach them. Library snoozers should at least have the decency to sleep in an unobstructdve location, such as in class like the rest of us.
