Random Thought #7123

My longtime friend, Matt , in fact he may be my oldest friend (in terms of number of years we've been friends, not because he's eight days older than me), posted this comment on a previous post about me...

By the way you were in my dream last night and the night before. In the one last night we were hanging out and you were relaxing by doing gymnastics with those hanging-down strap things, whatever they're called. I was wondering if you were into golf and you said you were but wanted to do something more challenging while you were still young.

I think you mean I was doing the rings, Matt. Anyway, this is very funny to me. I continue to laugh outloud as I think about it.

And this got me thinking about dreams. My dreams are not very funny. They're weird of course, but not noteworthy. I mean me doing the rings and/or playing golf is funny shit, especially given my comment about challenging myself while I'm young.

My last dream that I remember involved a bunch of people I know showing up late for a race. The only twist being that usually I dream that I am the one who is late for the race or hasn't trained. Now I'm dreaming it's other people with this problem. Not all that funny or interesting of dream, even with the lame twist.

So now I wonder, just like some people are funnier than other people. Are some people innately funnier dreamers. Do serious people have really silly Animal House-type dreams? Or does it go the other the way? The funnier you are, the funnier your dreams? Matt is one funny guy. My dreams are run-of-the-mill. I guess I'll hang up my career as class clown and become an archivist or something.
