Most mornings by the time I wake up, I have no idea what I've dreamed about the night before. But the other morning, I actually woke up from my dream laughing. It was kind of like a dream within a dream, which got a little inception like, but that's not the point.
A friend and I were in what I interpreted as a museum, I think because I work in one... but the space was made of a lot of white marble. So we were on at least the second floor, pretty close to a grand staircase or a balcony, probably both. The whole place was really neat and clean, sparkling even. Our chosen activity though, completely didn't fit in with the surroundings.
From a distance of about 15 feet from the all-marble railing ledge, Andy and I were laughing as we pirate-style heaved huge sides of beef. To where? Being that it was me and Andy, of course it was over the edge so that it landed on whatever was happening on the floor below.
This is where the inception style weirdness came in. Within the dream, I took a step back from the actual heaving and saw it happening... and immediately started laughing because I started thinking about what could be going on below the balcony over which we were throwing the huge sides of beef. I imagined that it was a really fancy event, like a wedding reception, with huge spreads, really ornate decorations and a ginormous cake. At that point, I just started picturing the sides of beef landing in the middle of tables full of guests seated for dinner or onto the cake. The gigantic and highly decorated cake with at least 10 layers... went SPLAT all over the entire wedding party as a side of beef plunked down in the middle of it. BULLSEYE!
I don't know what it's supposed to mean, but it's not too far from a realistic portrayal of the nonsensical mischief that Andy and/or I get ourselves into...
