I woke up this morning right after a dream that I’d returned home after a business trip and immediately gone to check on my pet monkey. This dream is silly from the get-go because I have never had any desire to deal with the many problems that owning a monkey can present.
Anyway, in the dream, I find that my husband has purchased three more monkeys in my absence and they’re shunning my original monkey, causing her to huddle in a corner of her pen with mud on her fur. This made me quite irate. (I’ll thank all of you Freudians to keep your interpretations to yourselves.)
Then I woke up because one of the four lesser mammals we do own was poking me with his damp nose.
The only thing I can think of that would make me dream of having a monkey is our office in-joke based on the old Saturday Night Live "Bathroom Monkey" skit. Whenever we don’t want to work on a project, we say, "Monkey hate clean." Maybe that’s one of those "you had to be there" jokes.
That’s all I have for today, a little dollop of surrealness to start your morning. I can’t even think of a question to ask, but feel free to tell me about any strange dreams you might have had that don’t relate to your real life at all. If they involve a celebrity, so much the better!
