Naked in the window

Last night I dreamt that I was in my master bedroom in the basement of our old house.  I was naked.  I noticed that the blinds on the window were open and wondered if anybody would see me.  I walked to the window and stood there watching as a former friend left the house across the street.  She got into a little red wagon and sat there very regally with her nose high in the air as her two small daughters pulled her down the street.  Nobody saw that I was standing naked in front of the window.  I turned around to mention this to my husband.  He was asleep in the bed behind me and didn't notice what was happening.  I went to wake him, but there were two of him in the bed and I didn't know which one to wake.  When I put my coat on over my naked body, I noticed they weren't really him at all, but my oldest daughter.

Terry Jones

Last night I dreamt I was doing a play with Terry Jones (of Monty Python), only his name was Terry Porritt in the dream.  Two consecutive nights, I left the stage halfway through the play.  The second night, I was sitting in the audience and Terry, who was sitting right in front of me as well as performing on stage, turned around and took my hand in his and said, "It's fine that you've had your little breakdown, but after leaving the stage two nights in a row, don't ever expect to work in this theater again."  I smiled and explained that I had no intention of ever returning to theater so it was okay.  He smiled, patted my hand, and said, "Very well then."  Then I watched as a very large, very hairy, very bad actor resumed the role I was supposed to be playing.  After the show, we went to the cast party.  Everybody was presented with a poster hand drawn on butcher paper and signed by the cast.  Terry had signed mine with just his name but the rest of the cast had written angry, hateful curses to me.  I took the poster, said goodbye and left without looking back.
