I had a weird dream last night. I dreamt that I was going to have macaroni and cheese for dinner, but the babysitter made it for lunch. So I took the last box and hid it so I could use it for another day. Meanwhile, the Pope was my houseguest. He didn’t wear Pope garb or anything like that. He was walking around with a cane (the kind with 4 prongs on the bottom) and a red robe (not a holy one…one like a housecoat). I got home from work only to have the Pope tell me, “I found a box of macaroni and cheese and made it and had it for lunch.” Well, I blew up! I mean, how DARE he eat my macaroni and cheese! I yelled, “I don’t care if you ARE the head of a whole religion…that box was hidden in the bottom of my panty drawer! Didn’t that give you a clue that I didn’t want it eaten?” I was so mad that I went online and complained about it in the Pit! I called it, “The \*&^%$ Pope ate my macaroni and cheese!” and got a lot of replies, mostly of people calling the Pope names. I woke up when I started reading the replies. I can’t even get away from this board in my sleep! 🙂 ---

Don’t feel bad, dear. Just the other day I referred to myself, IRL, as “beatle” and it took my colleagues’ quizzical looks for me to realize what I’d done. Or maybe we should both worry… ---

I had a dream about Uncle Beer two nights ago. I was at an IRL Doper meeting in a very large bathroom carpeted with sleeping bags. Everyone was drinking fruit-laced vodka out of cocoanut shells except for Uncle Beer. He was drinking beer (of course) and leading us in a rousing rendition of the “Is a rock alive?” song from Sesame Street. I woke up singing: “a rock can’t breathe, a rock can’t grow, a rock can’t eat and that is why you know…it’s not alive…no no no” ---

Scary, isn’t it? This place has supplanted even my usual stress dreams–which is good, 'cause they’re lots more fun. Keeping in mind I’ve met exactly 2 Dopers ftf, it’s amazing how vivid the folks are around here. Can’t remember most of 'em in detail, as they fade upon waking. But in one I was in my office; swamped, stressed and overloaded and in waltzed UncleBeer, Eve, Ed, and NTG. They plopped themselves down and offered jazzy but forgotten commentary on the sno-globe of paper I tossed around. I’ve concluded one thing from this: Freud was a putz. Veb ---

I had a dream about three months ago in which Alphagene was floating, facedown, yet still breathing, in a contained pool of iridescent blue liquid, then saying that if you did this, you wouldn’t need to sleep half as much. I woke up going WTF??? That ol’ subconscious is a weird beastie. ---

Dreaming about the board is a sign of a Dopaholism. Go to your nearest DA (Dopaholics Anonymous) meeting. 😃 ---

Well, dreaming is supposed to help keep you sane. Apparently you had some angst to work out. ---

I keep quitting. Every day. Then I’m back here. But I haven’t dreamt about it. Yet. Are there DA chapters in all major metropolitan areas? How do I find the local one? I tried calling Information, but ended up at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, instead. There is probably plenty of overlap… ---

Didn’t that give you a clue that I didn’t want it eaten?” I don’t know about anyone else, but _ **I** _ want to know if there’s some significance that MaryAnn dreamed that the Pope went through her panty drawer. 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > UncleBeer, Eve, Ed, and NTG Now **THAT** is a frightening combination. I don’t even wanna know what the dream interpreters would have to say about it. Uh-uh, no way.
