    You know those dreams that make you doubt your sanity?

    I think I'm going crazy. It would be the fitting end to my bad month by sliding silently into madness. Anyway, my dream:

    I'm in one of the houses I used to live in in the USA. I walk into the bathroom and look through the window. I can see the town I currently live in in England. The train tracks are quite close to the house and a train is just leaving. On the ground near the track is a large black garbage bag that's wrapped around something. The thing turns and the garbage bag parts to reveal a manetee. You know those big Florida sea cows? One of those.

    Except it's purple. Has tusks. And looks like a walrus. Yet I know it's a manetee.

    And some part of my brain registers that manetee dumping from trains is a big local problem. That what I'm seeing is a very important thing, like dumping toxic waste. Very illegal. Yet I can't be bothered to do anything but stare from the window and the sleeping, possibly dying, purple tusked manetee in the garbage bag.


    Am I insane? What does this dream mean?
    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

    It might have something to do with your sexuality.

    Are you a secret heterosexual, and merely ashamed to admit it?

      Think nothing of it!

      I have dreams of being a Caesar, with a million female slaves at my feet and an army willing to sacrifice their very lives for my glory!

      Then I wake up and realise it's all true!

      Huzzah!

        It's pretty simple. You are the Walrus!
        If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.

                    That's the question I've been dealing with for the last few weeks.

                      Are you talking about something sexual, or like, you are trying to find out who your birth dad is?

                        It's a looong story Teddy, but sex has nothing to do with it.

                            It was meant to be an 'in joke' In jokes are always hilarious, except to those who don't know what we are on about
