Where Do I Go?
brambles of the mind
Do you want to know how weird my dreams can get?
God is cooking scrambled eggs on a gas stove. A small speck of egg flies out of the pan, shooting through the hole between the next burner and rim. It splats onto the back of a roach that’s hiding in the dark. Earth is a carbon electron on the back of a roach so stupid it runs out of the darkness and into the flame. As a result, Earth is first destroyed by a giant meteor and several million years later is engulfed in flames.
Where do I go to get a new brain?

Whoa, that’s some Matrix kind of dreaming. Sure hope you’re wrong, I still have a lot of stuff to do!

It’s the multi-layered weird of a not-quite-right mind. Do I want to be normal? No. But some days the dreams are too weird even for me. 🙂

I dreamed that I had a party and everyone brought their dogs, but didn’t watch them so I followed the pack around and worried. It wasn’t too bad until someone let the hyena out. I woke up seriously puzzled. I’m glad that was the scope of my responsibility, and not making eggs with God.

You need to watch old episodes of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Several episodes dealt with acquiring new brains. Of course, I’m into absurd humor–understand if you’re not.

I love humor with one exception: The type of humor in Dumb and Dumber. That was one of the few movies I paid to see and walked out in the first 10 minutes. And I’ve seen more than a few movies where I said at the end, “Why did I bother?” 🙂

I agree with you on D & D; that’s too lowbrow. I’m more into satire, poking fun at how absurd things in life can be. Although–people have become too sensitive. One can be funny and not cruel.

Absolutely! I enjoy satire and poking fun. It’s much more satisfying to lift people’s spirits than to try getting laughs by crushing them.

That isn’t a dream, that really happened. I was there.

LOL! Which one were you–the roach or God? 🙂

Scrambled eggs, huh? Are you worried your brain is scrambled? If you ever figure out where to get a new brain, let me know!

I have it on good authority that my brain is indeed scrambled in places and I’ve come to terms with my inner not-quite-right. 🙂
You’ll probably figure out where to get a new brain at the same time I do. 🙂

Scientists say that roaches will be alive long after everything else is destroyed by giant meteors and flames, so if we stay on its back we should be OK.

As long as we’re on a roach that’s not at ground 0 for that barbecue. 🙂

Come with me and we’ll go to the junkyard and grab us some used replacement parts. I need a new brain; this one is experiencing technical difficulties. I haven’t been fixated on God scrambling His own eggs. My antenna on the right side of my head is tingling, burning and being stabbed by a hot poker. Shingles.
I can’t recall the last time I dreamt.

I’ve known people with shingles and from what they tell me it’s quite painful. Hope it goes away for you soon so you can replace your antenna.
Everyone dreams, it’s just a matter of remembering that you did it. 🙂
