People are always describing their dreams as crazy. I had this crazy dream last night, they say. I think all they really mean is the dream is still fresh in their mind; crazy means vivid; crazy means I'm going to describe to you my dream as if I believe that it's only a dream but I expect you to tell me what you think it means.
Most of my dreams aren't that crazy, but I did have this really crazy dream the other night. I was running through a long tunnel; you were there and so was Edward Norton.
We (not Norton, he comes later) were running, hand in hand, like the guy and girl do in those predictable action-thrillers. It was dim and loud and voices echoed off the tunnel walls and back at us, upon us, like when we were in Atlanta and the sky opened up.
We were running; everybody was running and people were screaming and I had to **** and up ahead were men in black suits and black sunglasses with black AR-10s and they were shooting and people were dropping and I told you to run but you were scared, and it was too late; they were upon us.
They yelled and waved their guns and we did what we were told. They divided us into two rows, each facing the other. They were screaming and demanding and firing and people were dropping and I really had to **** and they were looking for a man. They were looking for Norton and I could point him out and I had to **** but I really liked him in Fight Club and apparently my moral compass was still intact.
So I kept my mouth shut and so did you and and so did Norton and when I awoke the room was cold and dark but I was on a mission.
Dreams are weird. People are weird. Weird weird weird.
