Disclaimer: The following article is an odd one, meant to bring a Picassoesque momemt to our readers, and is in no way intended to offend anybody.

Interesting thing, dreams. Have them every night. Very Vivid. Such a show.

Remember them all, too. All too well. Not always a good thing.

Been off work for two years now. Most dreams are of working at the Office.

Ingrained Work Ethic, you know. Miss going to work. Working. Coming Home.

Can’t dream of work all the time. (Although its a place of high fun and drama)

Sometimes have traveling dream (Yeah, going to work. Going Home )

Sometime, have dream that is – Something Completely Different!

Here is a sample. Very Strange! This is just the end of it.

It seems to be an on-going Radio or TV Show.

I am in the audience, not a participant.

I know somehow, while I am having the dream, that I have “Been Here Before.”

I also remember while having the dream, all of the previous episodes.

But only because I remember this one when I wake up.

Help me know the Ending here, those of you who are enlightened, (and really old – old enough to remember such things).

Or help me write some kind of an ending to this, if you care to.

Or gift me with your psychoanalytical nostrums.

Out of hundreds and hundreds of film and story dreams about everything imaginable, (Which is a great source of writing, BTW!), THIS is the only one that never seems to get beyond this point.

(Fade In)

Two loudly dressed characters, both male, standing on a seedy, brightly lit stage in front of a painted canvas curtain. The tall thin one is wearing a cheap white cowboy outfit with tassels and a six-shooter. The short one is chubby, and wearing a white leather Indian dress and a large wig.

“Why’d they call you Little Meep?” (Deep, Slow Stage Voice from tall character)

“No. Just Meep, Big John.” (Loud, Fast, High Pitched Stage Voice from short
character)

“Why is that?”

“Mom. She couldn’t talk. All she could do was squeeze that bicycle horn when she wanted me. It was all worn out, so it would just go ‘Meep.’”

(Audience Laughter)

“So, I married a girl named after a bicycle horn?”

“Did we get married?”

“Well, I recollect that we were trying to. Weren’t we, Little Meep?”

“I think so. (Short Thoughtful Pause) But then we got chased by them Indians!”

“Oh, so we did.”

“And then, them Cowboys!”

“Uh Huh.”

“And then, them Traveling Salesmen!”

“Yep.”

“And then, them Bank Robbers!”

“Oh, that too.”

“And then, the Sheriff!”

“Oh, you’re right! I had forgot about him!”

“We should be dead, Big John!”

(Enter “A Person Of Importance” Stage Right, walking at speed)

“Yes! You should be!”

(Close Curtain On Act Number ??? – Laughter and Applause)

The three guys in the Orchestra Pit frantically play like seven – rather badly.

Very Upbeat Announcer: “Will Little Meep and Big John survive? Tune in Next Time! As “Ovaltine, The Brown Chocolate Drink,” Presents, “Song of the West!”

(Fade, with Music, to Commercial)
