Have you all never had dreams where you were curious to see what you'd do if you'd only been able to stay asleep and finish the dream?

If we are to be held liable for our dreams now, a bunch of people would be in prison or in divorce court. Sheesh.
You're living in what Fox News calls an alternative reality if you don't get Mr. Carrey's exact implication.

What I got out of it was this: a dead woman's parent's blame her boyfriend for he death based on what appears to be just a wild guess of what could be true. And to be clear ,since you obviously did not read the article, they don't think he killed her; they think he was getting prescription drugs, possibly illegally, which she took and overdosed on.

I see grieving parents trying to blame something, or more cynically, trying to get money. And honestly, even if it's true, who ****ing cares? Do you know how many people do exactly that? A lot. You probably know someone who does that. I wouldn't say that alone makes him a bad person.

" Jim Carrey: I dreamed of beating Trump with golf club "

I dreamed that he was making funny movies, you know, like he used too.

You do understand that working in Hollywood does not require you to actually be in movies. He's plenty active behind the scenes, and that's entirely consistent with having success. Plenty of actors and comedians end up making their best work behind the scenes through writing, producing, or directing.

He probably had the same dream. This was not the way to accomplish it though.

No, google and it will detail. I linked in 2 articles. He has been sliding away and this should speed the descent.

Like Griffin, slipping away, he figured it was worth a shot to jump on the bandwagon and insult Trump. I think he lost.

Implying threats to the president of the United States huh?

Typical clueless celeb.

Jim Carrey defends Griffin: I dreamed of beating Trump with golf club
He's no worse than people who felt the same way about former President Obama.

When I listen to Jim Carrey talking about how he dreamed of beating Trump with a golf club, I'm sure "snowflake" might be the first word many people think. That isn't something I think of. I think "Jim Carrey likely has some anger issues".

I bring up anger issues because I personally had a dream about me committing an act of violence. This act of violence, however, did not involve beating someone with a golf club, but something worse. In my heart, I know it is wrong to do such things, therefore, I would not do that. However, it speaks to the kind of psyche Jim Carrey might have. I'm still dealing with anger issues going back to my adolescent years(mainly as a result of bullying).

If someone goes to sleep and actually dreams about killing someone they don't like, it speaks more to their psyche than anything else. If it's in their subconscious, there is something more going on. I speak as someone who has had nightmares involving violence.

You see.. if you have a dream about killing someone. This may not be a big deal, but if you have dream about killing someone and then precede to inform the world of it, well... I think we know what is going on here.

You defending him is just more evidence to the support of it.
I'm actually not a fan of his. His brand of humor is too juvenile for my liking.

But, he did say he had a dream and people share dreams with other people all the time. Have you never said "man... I had a weird dream last night!" to anyone before?

He just has a larger audience.

This is a huge nothingburger.
