As I’ve discussed in the past, talking about your dreams is a horrible pastime that nobody finds interesting – especially me.  I don’t care about what happens to you when you’re awake; what makes you think I give a crap what happens when you’re just lying there unconscious.  But today I was informed of a dream that I found particularly stupid.

Person:  “I had the greatest dream last night.  I dreamt I won the lottery…”

Ok, already we’re off to a bad start here.  I really couldn’t think of a more cliché dream topic than winning the lottery. You don’t even have the ability to fly -- give me a break.  But it gets worse.

Person:  “…I won $10,000.  It was awesome.”

Ten thousand dollars?  You can have anything you would ever want in a dream, and you come up with a measly ten thousand dollars?  What the hell is that?  What are you going to do with ten grand?  Buy a slightly used Ford Taurus?  Put a down payment on a house 30 years ago?  Buy 10,000 lottery tickets and hope to win an actual prize?

Person1:  “I had the greatest dream last night.  I dreamt I was the starting quarterback for our team in the Superbowl.”

Person2:  “Cool.  How’d you do?”

Person1:  “I threw an interception and we lost in overtime.”

Person2:  “That's a pretty crappy dream, dude.”

Your subconscious is even lamer than your conscious.
