dormiens vigila

one time i had a dream that one night i was riding on top of a train during the transit of venus.

***

one time i had a dream that the greatest intellects of the universe had assembled in one place and at one time.

my pet-fish, bubbles, wasn't invited -- for obvious reasons -- but he decided to show up anyway.

***

one time i had a dream that i was denounced from the pulpit and the bench by the domine and the magistrate.

***

one time i had a dream that athena appeared in the neighbourhood spreading wisdom. she brought her hoot owl too.

bubbles asked her to show him how to use his new phone. she did. athena is awesome!

***

one time i had a dream that i saw a guy, hector, who was a professional horse wrestler, at the county fair.

bubbles said that you can tell it's fake because the horse always wins.

***

one time i had a dream that i met the smartest dog in the world. her name was maccalland. 

my pet fish, bubbles, said that she was afraid of nothing, and she liked to eat ice-cream - but only if you gave it to her in a cone. 

***

one time i had a dream that i had an obscure ancestor who left me a tremendous inheritance.

but really, the only things that ever got left to me were the weird books my uncle cuthred wrote about babylonian archaeology. 

***

one time i had a dream that my cousin harold came to visit for the whole summer. 

bubbles said that i should've counted the silverware BEFORE he left.

***

one time i had a dream that people in another dimension were trying to contact me. 

they just wanted to remind me to water the flowers.

***

one time i had a dream that i could see the great wall of china from outer-space. but it was only a polaroid. 

bubbles said "bite the wax tadpole"

***

one time i had a dream that it was judgement day.

bubbles was bragging because he got to blow the vuvuzela of doom.

but i told him he doesn't have a halo in my church. 

***

one time i had a dream that i had my palm read and my fortune told. all of it was so true, and it made me really happy about the future. when i woke up, i couldn't remember what they said my fortune was. talk about a let down.

my pet-fish, bubbles was there, but in symbolic form. it was very arcane and everything.

***

one time i had a dream that i was on a beach and various professors gained not only sustenance, but considerable amusement also, by throwing certain books at me.

***

one time i had a dream that i was under the sea. 

my pet fish, bubbles, was there!
