Ridicule
November 12, 2009
I dream I am preparing for my wedding and I must make chocolates the way Jacques Pepin made them on his television show. I excuse myself to “do something,” but I don’t want anyone to know exactly what for fear I will be ridiculed. I go to the store to purchase expensive chocolate plus nuts, cornflakes, and other things to immerse. I am late for the store van, and there is hardly enough room for me. I have to climb over rows of tiny people to get to one seat in the back.

I dream I am waiting for a party to begin and I am sitting on the curb outside practicing a magic trick. Four popcorn kernels magically leave my left hand and reappear in my right. A young tough comes by and ridicules and insults me. I don’t like the ridicule and insult, but I am more upset that he does not want to see this beautiful magic trick. I try to explain this, but he insults me more and throws my popcorn kernels and starts punching me. I am concerned for my well-being, but I am still upset about the magic trick.

I dream I am at a Comedysportz rehearsal. While I am in the middle of doing a scene, Trevor grabs me by the seat of my pants, picks me up as if I am very light and small, and carries me to the back of the house. I flip out at Trevor and punch him in the face and stomach. My punches have no effect, and Trevor only laughs and ridicules me. When I go back to my seat, Trevor’s stuff is in it.
“Fred’s Dreams” appears every Wednesday.
