A dweam...within a dweam...

I remember my first dream of Nadine Samonte and I even described it in a previous blog entry. It looked a little something like this:

Don't worry, Nadine! I scared off the ugly guy! It's me...Dennis! Seriously!
Damn! I wish I looked like Dennis Trillo so...y'know...Nadz wouldn't be waking up to my nightmare of a face.

The Absent-Minded Scientist

In my dream this morning, I was at a party...a family get-together or something. We were playing a couple of parlor games and one of them was a number-guessing game. I seemed to be pretty good at it because people were amazed at how I got the answers right.

After the game, someone invited me to a room where I was supposed to talk to someone's relative who happened to be a scientist of sorts. In the room, there was this huge (but not ginormous) HDTV where the scientist and I were supposed to communicate via webcam. The scientist (who lives in New York, if I recall correctly) was a lanky bespectacled fellow who looked like James Woods ("Hades" in Disney's Hercules) or Matthew Wood ("General Grievous" in Star Wars).

At first, the scientist gave me more number quizzes which I solved rather quickly. He asked me how I did it and for the life of me, I have to say I don't know either. So I simply told him I just made some "educated guesses".

This number-guessing game must've been inspired by the episode of "Shutsugeki! Machine Robo Rescue" anime TV series I was watching last night. In that episode, the character Daichi had some sort of "spatial awareness ability" where he's able to accurately predict an object's movement.

Anyway, the scientist then gave me a different quiz...this time involving sentences. While I was able to solve the first, I gave up on the second. I was able to identify the word "topography" but the preceding word (beginning with the letter "d") was totally unfamiliar. Even then, the scientist said that my answer was close.

But after that, something strange happened to the scientist. For some reason, he turned green...literally...and seemed to faint.

Oh! So you mean I'm NOT a bartender!
