In the Land of Wonderful Dreams

[Mongrel]

Man, getting dad-punned by your own brain is a bit of a low blow.

When I worked in schools, I had a recurring dream where I had to repeat 8th grade because somehow I skipped it. But the twist was that I still had my BSEd, worked in the school as a tech coordinator/teacher and was in my 30s. The most memorable one was when I got in trouble for going for McDonalds on my lunch, because students couldn't leave the building without a parent or guardian signing me out.

A couple nights ago I had my first one of those dreams since quitting working in education. I was going from class to class until suddenly I remembered I have a masters, and a good job that clearly doesn't care I skipped 8th grade... and just woke right up.

I... hadn't even noticed the pun. I just thought it was mildly interesting/unheard of that my naked at school dream ended with "nah, it's cool, someone brought a spare change of clothes for you"

I've had a lot of dreams lately where a real-world reality check short-circuits the subconscious narrative and I wake up.

Not about school, though.

I dreamt Winston Churchill was sitting at my kitchen table. I had to convince him to eat a salad.

I had a feeling he knew it was inevitable, but he certainly behaved as though he was convinced he could delay the first bite indefinitely as long as he kept finding new ways to grumble about it. After a while of this I almost told him "you let millions of Indians starve to death, you can endure a fucking salad, you cantankerous old bastard", but nearing my wits' end I assured him that the dressing was sublime, and this somehow caused him to eat the whole thing in silence. I'm fairly certain he ended up liking it but was too embarrassed to admit it.

I woke up just as I was contemplating how to tell him that the main course was tofu.

[Upthorn]

I get that dreams don't always make sense, but... You were putting effort into avoiding yelling at Churchill for starving millions of Indian people to death? Like, you should have done that irrespective of his views on salad!

[Mongrel]

Thinking too hard about dreams is one of the surest paths to madness. MADNESS.

I don't mind going to bed so much, if not for all the screaming. Last night I was more confused than usual and scared for longer than usual.

Incidentally, it's like a billion years past due but ol' Bob has an actual functioning rss feed these days. https://interglacial.com/rss/bob_the_angry_flower.rss

Last night I was dreaming about not getting enough sleep.

[Silversong]

I dreamt that if you don't finish enough projects, eventually you have to go see a sort of crafting parole officer. If you want to start a new project they have to approve it, and if it seems like you won't finish it you'll be denied starting.

That is 100% a real and powerful government office that lives inside my head.

My Vegas folder is an act of terrorism.

Silversong was running some sort of podcast or program or whatever and invited me on as a guest to talk about, uh, turtles in video games.

The boards reintroduced pyo. I ended up with tens of thousands for some reason, and spent it all changing everyone's avatars to what was essentially the Bass Pro Shop logo with a pair of khakis shittily pasted on.

[Silversong]

Thank you R^2, I was starting to feel bad but now I can think about this instead.

didn't Niku basically do that same thing at one point

I remember logging on one day and my avatar had been changed to some anime thing I did not understand as I was not yet weebed by Esperath

[nosimpleway]

I spent a while as some hairless yellow guy, still don't know who that was. :shrug:

oh yeah the old board emotes aren't back either
