So I was having a dream where I was working with the President of France (craziest dreams I had. Involving parts of Venus crashing into the South China Sea, creating mutant mecha-like life-forms and secret rooms within motel containing billions-year old clay tablets and scale models of cities). Then I dreamed I logged onto the Straight Dope, and there, in the IMHO forum, is a thread “What do you think of the French President?” My reply. “I am now staying with him. He wakes up real early. Probably planning an invasion.” ---

I have had the Dope in my dreams before now (once or twice), but darn it – not with that much imagination, **CrazyChop**! (What on earth were you eating before that one?) ---

I have, but I dream about a lot of things I do during the day. The worst was when I worked at KFC and would dream I was working all night, especially after a double. Those weren’t very restful nights! > [@Interconnected\_Series\_of\_Tubes](#): > > For years - until September. Well played! ---

Oh, heck yeah. I dream about work and I dream about the Dope, and I’ve dreamed about posting to the Dope from work before. Seriously. ---

On the list of things that I’ve had dreams about, posting on the Dope isn’t even on the list of the interesting things, but I’ve done it. ---

Once, though it involved delirium in a hospital. Eventually I passed out and dreamed I was trying to post, only to discover the place had been taken over by trolls. ---

Ok, I had a Dope dream last night. In my dream I posted two celebrity death threads, one for Keith Olbermann and one for Horatio Sanz. I don’t remember any more details besides the fact that I was overwhelmingly pleased that I was \*first \*with those threads. 🙂 ---

I often dream about hanging out with Dopers but I never dream about posting on the dope. ---

I think this has happened to me twice. I can only say it’s encouraging that it doesn’t happen more often. ---

Sure, I’ve dreamt I’m posting on the Dope. > [@Santo\_Rugger](#): > > I have, but I dream about a lot of things I do during the day. The worst was when I worked at KFC and would dream I was working all night, especially after a double. Those weren’t very restful nights!Well played! Oh man! When I was the Administrator for a very small vocational school seeking State Board Approval, I’d have dreams at night that I was literally drowning in paperwork. Like, little papercuts up the nose and under my eyelids and suffocating in reams of white 8.5" X 11" shooting out from a malicious copy machine. ---

I often have a dream of something that would be way cool to post on the dope. Then I wake up and find it probably isn’t that interesting and so I don’t post.
