A new month has begun, so as usual, it’s time to gather together my dream tweets of the previous month to see whether they gain any added value from rubbing up against each other. Guest starring in November were celebrities I’ve never met, such as Steve Tyler, Mandy Patinkin, Heather Morrison, and John Goodman, plus friends like Geoff Landis, Cory Doctorow, Stan Robinson and Mary Robinette Kowal.

And who knows? Maybe you, too.

Check out what my subconscious delivered.

NOVEMBER 2011

I dreamt I found a gumball machine into which I could insert a huge Mercury Head dime and get two or one or none in return. I won 50 cents! 28 Nov

I dreamt I was gift wrapping a raw leg of lamb, and debating whether I needed to include a cooling unit so as not to poison the recipient. 28 Nov

I dreamt I took part in a game show which had me reassembling a giant broken eggshell, catching bouncing grapes, & other bizarre challenges. 28 Nov

I dreamt I had a front row seat at an improv show and was pulled into the action, striking a match and holding it up to a slice of bologna. 27 Nov

I dreamt I had gone back to school, and wandered a vast university complex surrounded by kids, very obviously the old coot on campus. 26 Nov
