Agnes by Tony Cochran for January 13, 2022

Have you ever dreamed you were trapped in a comic strip?

had too much to dream last night…?

Hope Agnes’ dream was pleasant, as her waking life is a nightmare.

The Red King in Through the Looking Glass…

That school seems to be made of riveted sheet metal. Did it start out as an army fortress?

The plot of many a PKD story.

I had a week of those types of dreams when i was about 15 or 16. I would go to bed, dream that i got up went to school, had a normal day, then wake up go to school and have a normal day. By the end of the week i no longer knew if i was awake or asleep. So i decided that this was my waking world, and the other was the dream. Sometimes i still find myself wondering if, when i die I will wake up as a 16 year old with my whole life ahead of me as I’ve just dreamed a lifetime in a single night.

This would be circular reasoning if it went in a circle.

Is all that we see or seemBut a dream within a dream? —E.A. Poe

Trout always enjoys yanking Agnes’s chain.

I think our dreams are realities in other universes

Those dreams where you wake up going to the bathroom.. are the worst.

OK. I’m tired of this dream and ready now to wake up.

Trout has it figured out. She’s sharper that I knew!

Am I Lao Tsu dreaming I am a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming that I am Lao Tsu?

For a wile about 10 years ago, I kept having dreams where I would wake up, looking at my wife, and decide to get up. Struggle as I might, I could not turn over – then I’d realize I had still been dreaming, as I woke up, looking at my wife, and decide to get up. Struggle as I might………

Rinse and repeat; sometimes as often as 10 times. I must say, I don’t miss those ones.

BR(before retirement). I’d dream a whole work day, then wake up and have to do it all again. I’ve also known that I was dreaming, in a dream.
