Die Traumdeutung
I've been having reoccurring dreams lately. They aren't the ones I normally have around this time of year, which consist of having registered for a course and having completely forgotten to go to it. Rather, these dreams don't seem to have anything in common aside from one single linking element: in each of them, I have a stutter.
I'm not talking a minor stutter either, I'm talking a completely over the top, unable to pronounce words, stutter. Michael Palin in A Fish Called Wanda would be the perfect example of what I'm talking about. It doesn't leave me in a cold sweat upon awakening, like the forgotten course dream, but I still can't help but wondering if there's any reason to it.
Now, I know that dreams are generally considered to be little more than your brain doing a massive dump of ideas and memories, but sometimes you can't help but wonder if they actually mean something. More importantly, I can't help but wonder if my inability to express myself verbally in dreams is a manifestation of my inability to get anything written on my thesis. At the very least, I can guess what Freud would say all this means.
Today's title has value of one point. Category: Tell me about your mother.
If I remember correctly, "Die Tramdeutung" is a book written by Freud, which is perhaps more well-known in English as "The Interpretation of Dreams".
Hmmm. Say, Andrew, how many points do I lose for employing a mob hitman to ensure that matt doesnt get some answers for a while?
Oh, and right. When I have wierd dreams and seem to have nerve issues, I recomend a big mug of coffee right before bed.
Trust me, you wont have any bad dreams. You wont have any good dreams. In fact... you wont sleep at all.
Actually, you wouldn't lose any points. After all, I do encourage a highly competetive competition.
However, I would need video footage and both the pay-per-view and video rights.

Hmm. You get PPP rights, I get video rights.
Fair?
Hey now, I have a patent on myself. Any unauthorized derivative works of me, about me, or involving me have gotta pay some serious royalties. =)
Phh, what are you gonna do about if after the fact?
Send out my clone to sue your ass off!
Can you leave everything to yourself in your will? I'll have to get my people to look into it.
And Derek, that sounds fair. You'll have to cover your own legal fees though.

They've already shown you can't patent "look and feel"... so if it looks like Matt, and feel... uh... well, you get the point...
