I\u2019ve got a reoccurring theme in my dreams about elevators. \u00a0Usually, it\u2019s some kind of physics or geometry defying thing where the whole thing turns on its side and spins or it goes sideways or the doors open on a floor in a different building.<\/span><\/p>\n

You know, the usual.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was telling Jim about one such dream and – being a counselor – he tried to help me understand what the dream means.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cImagine that I\u2019ve just woken up from a coma and can\u2019t remember anything,\u201d he said. \u00a0\u201cHow would you describe an elevator to me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought about it for a moment, then replied:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAn elevator is cubical metal box with horizontally opening doors that transports people and materials vertically through a multi-story structure using a system of cables and pulleys,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He glanced over at me (he was driving at the time) and shook his head.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have no idea what your dream meant,\u201d he said, \u201cBut if I really did wake up from a coma and had no memory, I\u2019d want you to explain everything to me,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I laughed out loud.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s awesome,\u201d I told him, \u201cBecause that\u2019s exactly how I see myself,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a dose of ego there, to be sure, but I really can explain a lot of stuff. \u00a0And even if I don\u2019t have all the answers, I do a fair job of mixing conjecture, patterns, and bullshit into an impressive melange.<\/span><\/p>\n

BAM! \u00a0Vocab word!<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it makes me immune to dream analysis in any useful way. A little later I got out my phone and asked for \u201cDream Dictionary: elevators\u201d, but Jim stopped me before I got too far – those sites are far too general to be useful.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you ever need anything explained – especially if you wake up from a coma with no memory of anything- let me know and I\u2019ll be happy to help. \u00a0Me and Clarissa<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just don\u2019t ask me what my dream means – I got nothing there. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, and the other night I had a dream I was fighting Dracula in Hawaii while wearing a bed-sheet like a cape.\u00a0 \u00a0He transformed into a duck-billed platypus to escape, but I grabbed him by the tail and dragged him into the sun – where he exploded into dust.\u00a0 I was trying to gather up the remains into large McDonald’s cups to bury separately (to keep him from coming back), when I woke up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
