Obviously I spent way too much time yesterday thinking of [vegan **lezlers** and the snarky sister who doesn’t want to cook for her](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=391880) because last night I dreamed about her.

It was a non-vegan related dream. **lezlers** made just a cameo appearance; as I was passing by, I saw her being photographed. She was a petite strawberry blonde and, upon her head, she wore a hat that was precisely the size, shape and appearance of a chocolate chocolate chip cookie. I immediately grabbed another similar looking hat and said, “hey lezlers! I love your hat!”

It’s not the first time a Doper has appeared in my dreams. I think it’s usually a sign I’ve been reading too much Dope.

Anyone else have a Doper Dream last night? \<prim mother voice\> I’m talking about the G-rated ones, of course.

Can we talk about any dreams we had last night? I had a disturbing one, but there were no Dopers in the cast (I hope).

Ok. I find myself in full commuting gear and office attire. I have my laptop bag and I’m in khakis and a polo shirt with a jacket on. The strange thing is, I’m walking through an extremely crowded out-door market in central Europe and there are lots of kids milling about all around me. In the dream, the kids are all pick-pockets and keep trying to steal my things from me.

Eventually, one of them manages to knock my computer bag off my shoulder and another one grabs it and runs. I chase after him, but he throws it to another kid after 100 yards and I just can’t catch him. That’s when I notice that the child who originally stole it has walked up to a man in his 20’s with thick black hair who appears to be a body builder, but is just sitting there watching. The muscle guy lifts up a wooden plank on the ground next to him and hands the kid a $100 bill off the top of a 6 inch thick stack of hundreds and they both just smile at me.

I think the muscle guy is Scylla. 😉
