Yup, that’s right! For the first time ever, I Dopers actually showed up in my dreams, and I got a two-for-one deal!
The lovely couple present was none other than GingeroftheNorth and Weirddave. I can’t remember much about the beginning of the dream, except that we were all living in a nice lil’ house in the middle of nowhere, without a care in the world.
And then the monkeys came.
You think I’m kidding, but I’m not. Suddenly, Ginger, Dave and I found ourselves under siege by a legion of ill-tempered Gorillas, Orangutans, and chimpanzees. They broke their way into the house with rocks and started chasing us.
The last thing I can remember before I woke up was that Ginger was fending them off from one side with a garden hose and Dave was doing battle with the head Gorilla by juggling flaming sticks (hey, don’t ask me). I, as usual, was no help whatsoever.
I guess these are the kinds of dreams I can expect when I do work until 3 in the morning, and get woken up every hour or so by my roomate’s snoring. Anybody wanna analyze it?
Sorry, guys. Wish I coulda dreamt you into a bit of a better spot than evil-monkey-doom.
Was that garden hose one of the old-fashioned type that doesn’t recoil properly after a run-in with vicious simians? Or was it the revolutionary flat hose that just sucks itself back into place after you’re finished saving the world? 'Cause, to tell the truth, I’m looking for a new hose and whatever GingeroftheNorth uses to fend off Bubbles and his phalanx of hairy, grunting marauders is what I need!
Well, I didn’t hear any helpful infomercial music, and Ginger wasn’t smiling contentedly as she fended them off, so I’m pretty sure that it was just a regular hose. And if it does turn out that it was the flat hose, I want royalties, dammit!
Well, Jester, I’m glad you’ve had a dream with monkeys in it. (my friend Daniel would ve very happy) I was telling Spoz about a dream I had last week that involved friends, a huge house, a roaring fire, singing, kids, babies, etc. He asked if it had monkeys in it. When I said no, he seemed very disappointed and told me to work on getting monkeys in there.
As it is, your dream sounds very weird… now, what do I have to do to get Dopers in my dreams? (whether I’ve met them or not)
There must’ve been something in the water, cause I had a Doper dream too!
We were having a DopeFest at my grandparents’ cottage (now don’t be getting ideas!) and I introduced a newbie named Charlie McBride (? no, I don’ t know anyone by this name) to Gazelle From Hell
I was telling him she used to go by Canthearya -(pronounced can-thee-air-yah) and how I thought it was the botanical name for some sort of flower…
