Colins

I know it’s sometimes tiresome to listen to people tell about their dreams, but hear me out. I want your opinion. Last night in my dream, someone was talking about the band Men At Work. Someone else responded, “Oh, yeah! Colin Firth is in that band!” I scoffed and thought to myself, “Colin Firth is an actor. Colin Hay was in Men at Work.”

So here’s the dilemma. I pretty much see this dream-moment as having one of two explanations. Obviously, since it was my dream, the entire conversation came from my own thoughts, so here are the possibilities I came up with.

1) Was my brain actually confused about which Colin was in Men At Work? Did I remember wrongly and then correct myself? Was I tentative about it being Colin Firth in the first place, so I “gave the line” to that other person in my dream?

-OR-

2) Did I know it was Colin Hay all along, and the “script” I wrote for my dream just included a little joke?

Responses

I say #2.

Thanks for the confidence in my sense of humor, B. :)

I’m gonna have to say #3 (in fact a variation of #2): You knew it was Colin Hay all along, and the “script” you wrote for your dream just included one of the many triumphs you enjoy from having such a good memory for factoids.

I don’t think even your subconscious could get that Colin tidbit wrong!
