Dream

I’m in a big house and there’s a lot of old furniture in the attic. I decide things have to go and I’m talking various other people into removing pieces. It’s looking a lot better, but then we discover all these animals in the house, which have gotten in from outside. (I forget all of them, but one was a big rabbit with floppy ears.) I am appalled. I find a large hole in the foundation wall of the basement and see that’s how they’re getting in.

So I talk my father (not my real father, the father from “The Middle” who used to be the janitor in “Scrubs) into going to Home Depot and picking up some mortar and cement to fill the hole. We have a brief discussion about whether to use the mortar or cement for such a large hole, and come to the conclusion we just don’t know.

THEN another scene: I’m in Manhattan, wearing a gold lame pants outfit and driving a luxury car when I get confused and enter ongoing traffic. I end up driving through the inside of a large store; I finally park the car and get out. I’m walking around, talking to people with whom I’m apparently supposed to be be working on a project of some kind. Then I see Marlo Thomas and Phil Donahue, and go up to talk to them. “I can’t remember who it was who told me to say hello to you, but someone did,” I say. Then I see Phil’s face change into that of my niece’s boyfriend.

Then I woke up.

  1. It sounds like “Animal House” meets “The Blues Brothers.” Have you been watching 30 year old episodes of “Saturday Night Live” starring “Hamburger, hamburger” boy lately?

  2. Man, you pack a lot of imagery into a short dream. I did get stuck at the image of you in gold lame pants.
