The Dream

[Ritz]

I, too, rarely dream nowadays, but I still remember the recurring dreams I used to have back when I was around the age of 7.<br><br>It happened every single night. First, a toy would fly out of my toybox, located next to the bed. Each time, it was either my toy raygun thing, or this little toy cellphone. Or both. This was usually the scariest part of the dream. Anyway, both of the toys would make these eerie little space ray noises, and then they'd... Fire some sort of laser thingy at me, and I'd wind up in some city (I know this sounds odd, bear with me).<br><br>Anyway, I'd always have this huge suitcase with me that I had to lug around the city, which is rather difficult for a 7 year-old, mind you. Anyway, after a night of wandering, I'd eventually bump into (Hehe, this is the good part) Tim Allen and Al Borland. Y'know, those guys from that ooooold <i>Tool Time</i> show, and they'd be wearing these weird sunglasses. Anyway, they'd smile at me and shoot me with their eye beams, and I'd just... Wake up.<br><br>Seriously, this is no joke, I had the same dream every night for several years. I'd always be on the run from the <i>Tool Time</i> guys and their evil laser-shooting shades, and they'd always be one step ahead of me. And the odd thing is that the whole toy bit seemed so real, that to this day I can't quite tell if what I had seen so many times was reality or a figment of my imagination. Also, I recall a vacuum cleaner fitting in somewhere, but that's an entirely different story. XP

I have a coupla dreams, but they really do put me in a bad light. Two of them, I think. I seem to remember having about 10 vivid dreams ever, with only little bits happening in more than one, and I do get a lot of "dja vu", though I can only recall about three of the dreams.

I dialed the number and got a prototypical recording of a woman's voice, reciting a paragraph's worth of tips on how to stay fit and healthy, from "Brush your teeth after every meal" to a sing-songy "And always eat your vegetables!" Wait a minute, I thought; I should be dialing 911. So I did. I got the exact same voice, this time reciting safety tips. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table> <!--QuoteEEnd--><br> Why does that remind me of a Douglas Adams story...

[Tom Flapwell]

Ooh, I dream like Douglas Adams? Sweet!

In recognition of your... unique dreams we will clap fourty-two times.

[Richard K Niner]

*clap*

[Ritz]

Well, this is gonna take a while.

[Joe3210]

*clap* X 42

[Bocaj Claw]

And now we are one over.

[Richard K Niner]

*clap* x 11<br><br>There we go. 42 times.<br><br>...well, convert it to base 13.

[Ozymandias]

Wait. 42 in Base 10 or Base 13?

[Richard K Niner]

We did 54 claps in base 10. Convert that total to base 13 to get 42.

[Bocaj Claw]

Wise words indeed.
