I had a weird dream last night. I dreamed I was a salesman (*shudder*) trying to sell transistor radios to (wait for it) Hobbiton. (There were houses down one side of the road where the rich lived, and hobbit-holes embedded in the hill down the other, where the even more rich lived.) Unfortunately, this was not as easy as it seemed, as I had accidentally fallen through into an alternate universe where IP was invented before the radio; and I had to convince the potential customers of the merits of wireless radio...
Though on second thoughts, perhaps actually the weirdest thing is that I know where almost all of this came from IRL... (Yes,
rysmiel, you take some of the blame!)
(Then I fell back asleep, dreamed about being pursued by Soviet submarines down to Australia, and then dreamed about being in a ship off the Australian coast; then trying to get showered in time for Shabbos, which involved having to push through an orchestral rehearsal in order to reach the shower. Convinced that I was going to run out of time before sunset, as Shabbos had already technically come in, I was momentarily confused to look out the window and see the sun high in the sky. Then I remembered that here in Australia it was summer, and Shabbos had evidently been brought in early, as is the wont at high latitudes... I was surprised, when I woke up, that (a) my dream had used such sophisticated logic, (b) I'd been able to use the same logic to work it out, and (c) (a) took place prior to (b).)
