Odd dream

We all always feel a need to share dreams, which never make mcuh sense to anyone else. I guess this makes sense, feeling more realistic than they should be is what they *are*. Last night I woke up thinking:

* Dad had fought to the death a doppleganger of him.

Damn you, beckyc! :) OK, but I need to talk to him more.

* I had to ring 411, the emergency services

Hmm. I'm sure I read something about 411 (us directory enquiries?) recently, but I'm not sure.

* I had difficulty connecting to the right department, and for some reason calling police before ambulance.

GAAAAH! HATE BADLY DESIGNED PHONE MENUS!

* Then I couldn't tell which was which

Hmm. Not sure. Could be related to fairly recent confused feelings for a couple of women.

* There was something about an old hp calculator and some remote controls.

OK, time to stop analysing. I think I've spent too much time with a universal remote and a demo board at work.

H'mm, yup, sounds pretty typical dream stuff. I had a dream recently in which I had to climb a flight of stairs, but it was a bit awkward because there was a long roll of carpet lying from top to bottom, so there wasn't a great deal of room. When I got to the top the carpet unrolled slightly, revealing the fact that four men were rolled up in it, end to end (thankfully their heads were pointing up the stairs). I asked the man at the top what they thought they were doing rolled up in the carpet, and he didn't seem to be entirely certain.

Haven't a clue, I fear. The man at the top was someone I've met, but couldn't say I know well; the other three could have been anyone.

And I very often dream about stairs, though not generally with men rolled up in carpets on them.

*shrug* Sometimes they don't mean much, just respond to what you happened to be thinking about.

though not generally with men rolled up in carpets on them.

LOL.

Doppleganger - the person without and the person within - you've been fighting yourself recently? tangling up communications with emergencies, and found yourself getting justice instead of mercy.
Trying the calculate the odds of stuff, and control things remotely, instead of jumping in, committing and engaging with it?

Mmm, maybe.

Well, perhaps, yes. But I'm doubtful my subconscious interpreted it like that.

Father - the person you would become - the impact that decisions now could have on future self.
