Rounds of oatmeal for everyone!
Not nearly as bizarre as the last dream I wrote about, but I’m quickly learning that the dreams that are “normal” to me are a bit weird to everyone else. Let’s see if this one is too.
I’m in this car with other people. No idea who these other people are. We’re driving on the street behind this VW bug. Instead of car tires it has bicycle wheels, of the wider, bumpy, dirt bike variety. Still way too skinny for a car. I notice that one of the rear wheels is a little wobbly and I think to myself, that’s gonna fall off soon. The car rounds a corner and whoops, there goes the wheel. It pops off and heads towards the car I’m in. I guess I’m in the back seat, only my point of view is from outside the car, because I clearly see the wheel rip off the right front fender and take the leg off the front passenger.
Right now I’m thinking, damn! How did a bicycle wheel do that? But you never wonder those things while you’re dreaming it. Lucky for my peace of mind, the passenger had a fake leg. His prosthetic leg goes flying off to the curb with the tire. The passengers of the bug all get out and suddenly they’re these rich people with mink coats and they’re apalled that this has happened. They immediately offer cookies to the guy who lost his leg. Then they ask me if they’s anything else we need. I said, “I think he could use some oatmeal.”
Okay, maybe I was hungry, I don’t know. But in the dream I thought scoring some oatmeal would be a really cool thing. The lady looks ever so slightly peeved that I had taken her up on her offer, but she disappears into a Marie Callender’s restaurant that we were parked in front of. Minutes later she and her butler emerge with two gigantic punch bowls of steaming hot oatmeal. I was surprised. I was expecting one little bowl for the dude with no leg. Rounds of oatmeal for everyone!
Mmmm, oatmeal for breakfast sounds really good right now.
