Sometimes I think dreams have meaning. Sometimes I think it is our unconscious mind allowing us to work out things while we sleep. Sometimes I think we see things we need to see in our dreams. And sometimes I think they are just our brain's way of entertaining itself while we are busy sleeping.
Last night I dreamed I was learning to drive a big rig in Alaska. Just like they do on
Ice Road Truckers. I have never had any particular desire to drive a large truck, but last night I was pretty darn good at it.
And guess who was riding shotgun with me and giving me training as I learned to navigate the roads pulling a heavy haul? The late Phil Harris of
Deadliest Catch fame was showing me how to park the enormous truck as we pulled into the parking lot of a Nevada brothel. It just happened to be The Bunny Ranch as featured in HBO's series
Cathouse.
Seems he and some of his buddies wanted to get a little action in before we got some rest for the night. So I parked the truck and patiently waited for Phil and his crew to....er, do their thing.
After he was done I joined the girls so I could borrow a shower and catch some shut-eye.
But I spent most of the time trying to shave my legs with a VERY dull disposable razor. And not one of those hookers would loan me a razor.
I conclude three things from this dream.
One, I should not have had pizza for a late dinner.
Two, Maybe, just
maybe I watch too much Reality TV.
And finally,
Three, I really need to shave my legs.
