Fred's dreams

Anti-Semitism

July 11, 2006
I dream I am in a tee shirt and underpants with Gail and Deborah in an enormous house. Gail shows me a group picture of a country club with Hitler in his horse riding clothing. Houdini, the escape artist, is also in the picture but he is on the ground. He isn’t dead or anything, but I am disturbed that Hitler is around and about doing equestrian events while Houdini, my brother magician and Jew, is on the ground. Gail wonders what I am upset about, and I explain it to her. Then, Gail shows me some Nazi cartoons.

I dream I am on a boat with my family and suddenly all boats fall apart and everybody starts swimming to shore. A maniacal anti-Semite sabotages a rescue mission by riding his speedboat through my flotilla. We send our chicken to trap his chicken so we can find out who he is. Unfortunately, our chicken kills his chicken so we can’t follow it home. Now, I am afraid that I am going to be blamed for killing chickens.

I dream I am attending synagogue for the high holy days, but instead of having services we have a 24-hour marathon in which people sit around and play board games. At one point, I walk through a spider web. Later on, people who are hired as guards treat us disrespectfully and make jokes about the size of my nose. I realize I am in terrible pain, and I rush to a mirror. I see that clusters of tarantula legs are sticking out the side of my neck, and they’re wiggling. I yell to my relatives to call Kelly Jennings and a doctor.
