No, not that kind of help. I&#8217;m nowhere near as insane as I pretend to be&#8230;well, maybe&#8230;if you count that incident in&#8230;oh, never mind. I promised the other parties involved I wouldn&#8217;t talk about that outside of therapy. But, anyway&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">What I need help with is dream interpretation. Now, normally I am pretty good at that sort of thing. I can tag the easy as well as the obscure. And, in this particular incident I am certain I could massage some standard interpretation to fit the events, however the bizarre info dump my subconscious let loose on me last night was so odd that I am not entirely sure it even has an explanation. So, here it is:<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I&#8217;m at the local airport. Not unusual, because I spend so damn much time there anyway that it seems like my home away from home. Never mind the fact that what I know to be my local STL airport (Lambert, Intl) looks for all the world (in my dream) like the airport in Columbus, OH. (Yeah, I&#8217;ve been through that one several times, which probably explains that.)<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Anyway, here I am walking through the airport when suddenly I run into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000513\/\" target=\"_self\">William H. Macy<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0005031\/\" target=\"_self\">Felicity Huffman<\/a>. Now, I don&#8217;t suppose this is unusual in and of itself, because as I recall they are married to one another. But then, that may have changed, I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;m not one for keeping up on the break ups and hook ups in &#8220;Hollerwood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Of course, it wouldn&#8217;t be much of a bizarre dream if that&#8217;s all there was to it, correct? Correct. So, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0005031\/\" target=\"_self\">Huffman<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000513\/\" target=\"_self\">Macy<\/a> aren&#8217;t just standing there, or strolling along running into dreaming folks. No. In point of fact, they are in front of a newsstand taking turns jumping on an oversized, bizarrely constructed, stagger-pedaled pogo stick. (sorry if that makes no sense, but it was the only way I could think of to explain it. Suffice it to say, it was one weird looking pogo stick)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Now, if that&#8217;s not enough, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000513\/\" target=\"_self\">Macy<\/a> sees me and motions me over, then completely ignores\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0005031\/\" target=\"_self\">Huffman<\/a>, leaving her\u00a0to bounce around the concourse of the terminal on this pogo-contraption. Suddenly I find that we are sitting in easy chairs near the entrance to the restroom, while\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0005031\/\" target=\"_self\">Huffman<\/a> continues to gleefully bounce around the concourse, giggling like a little schoolgirl.\u00a0At this point <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000513\/\" target=\"_self\">Macy<\/a> and I have said nothing to one another, but now he turns to me and asks me what kind of books I write. I tell him. He gives it a moment of thought and then asks me if I have read his blog. (Hell, I didn&#8217;t know he had one)&#8230;I tell him no. He then asks me if <strong>I<\/strong> have a blog. I say yes. (Now, remember, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0005031\/\" target=\"_self\">Huffman<\/a> is still wreaking havoc with the pogo stick in the background of all of this, but TSA and Airport Security don&#8217;t seem to care. They are far more concerned that my wife is a potential terrorist and are searching her luggage. NOTE: Prior to this point in the dream I had no idea my wife was even there.)&#8230;So, anyway, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000513\/\" target=\"_self\">Macy<\/a> gets up to leave without a word, stops, turns and comes back, sits down, and then asks me if my &#8220;blog is really intense?&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Then, I woke up and the coffee wasn&#8217;t ready yet.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Needless to say, I am confused. Everything seems to be\u00a0functioning properly and I do know who the president is (unfortunately), and the day of the week, etc, so I don&#8217;t think I had a stroke in my sleep or anything.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Still, this one has me scratching my head.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">MR<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recounting of a bizarre and not quite right dream&#8230; or was it a nightmare?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76,5,3,77],"tags":[438,180,1014,4354,251,1379,8110,8119,801,297,530,4150,4158,252,8104,1037,214,4353,119,8172,1015,855,8102,1590,969,170,556,4352,86,4156,8112,833,1016,452,872,911,56,8100],"class_list":["post-265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-humor-life","category-life","category-movies-tv-celebrities","category-silliness","tag-ac","tag-air-travel","tag-airport","tag-airport-security","tag-art","tag-blog","tag-blogging","tag-books","tag-car","tag-change","tag-coffee","tag-course","tag-dream","tag-dreams","tag-ek","tag-event","tag-felicity","tag-felicity-huffman","tag-fun","tag-hair","tag-lambert","tag-last-night","tag-m-r-sellars","tag-married","tag-ne","tag-news","tag-nsa","tag-oh","tag-president","tag-right","tag-silliness","tag-stagger","tag-stl","tag-time","tag-tsa","tag-walk","tag-wife","tag-writing"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brainpanleakage.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brainpanleakage.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brainpanleakage.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainpanleakage.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainpanleakage.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainpanleakage.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brainpanleakage.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainpanleakage.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainpanleakage.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
