I found this amusing...

[Dominic]

I find dream dictionaries amusing. For me, I can pretty much work out what my dreams might mean, because I know what I associate things with, I know what I did and saw yesterday, I know what I think about and what I try not to think about. Dream dictionaries, on the other hand, are like 1 in 12 horoscopes. Meaningless. How can this silly book know what ravioli means to me? To be honest, it doesn't mean anything, but if it did, it probably wouldn't be 'the need to visit home'. It might be if I was a member of a prominent Italian pasta family, but I'm not. I wish I was. I would have lots of free pasta.

I don't want to write it off, though.

Not a good thing to write things off. So I've come up with a plan.

Believing that dreams are simply the product of the day's events and experiences, and not wanting to write off that things seen in dreams might be good omens and shit, I have settled on the following plan.

I shall force myself to do and look at the things that the book says to dream of will bring me stuff. What an appallingly structured sentence. Apologies.

Plan this:

1) book says dream 'thing' means manifestation of later 'stuff'? Then

2) look at thing

3) dream of thing

4) get stuff!

5) profit!

The book says that seeing a baby elephant in one's dream means that incredible good luck is coming your way. I have covered my room in pictures of baby elephants, and for the next week, I have the hire of a tame baby elephant to sit in my bedroom, so that it's the last thing I see before I go to sleep.

Dreaming of corn means a certain visit to a far off land? Right you are, son, my under-nancies are stuffed with sweetcorn and I thoroughly expect this to lead to me jetting off to the Maldives even if I don't have the damn money.

To dream of signing your name signifies you're soon to be wed, it reads. Oh dear. Lordy. I don't know what the landlord will say, but they won't be recieving any cheques anytime soon.

And dreaming of eating a block of lard means career enhancement, you say. A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do...

Great Post

[Dominic]

[NeilB]

makes it come true does it?

I dreamt of having sex with Lucy Liu last night.....if this comes true how do I tell my wife?

How would Lucy explain it to the rest of the world?

Neil

All these questions and more next week......

Neil,

How are you going to cope with the wife knowing you dream about Lucy Lui, or is she not a YD'er.

[Dominic]

Oh, don't worry - in the same way that "baby elephant" translates into "good luck", "sex with Lucy" probably means "you're going to get lots of Viagra spam soon"

[NeilB]

My wife is neither a YDer or a diver....can't even swim!

If I get all the Viagra spam it can sit in my inbox as I am off to Lagos, with all the internet lottery money I have won, to meet a banker about a transaction I can help with.
