The Peace Corps Dream

At one time or another I've thought about joining the Peace Corps so this dream didn't come as any sort of surprise. In my dream, I'm in the Peace Corps in Surinam. Everyone speaks Surinamese which is curiously very much like English. New farming equipment is coming in courtesy of Taco Bell and I have to make sure everything goes smoothly. Instead of boating it in, the gear lands on someone's house. Luckily no one dies and no one complains. We decide to piece it together with instructions downloaded from the internet. We are missing many pieces but then we have a magnificent dinner. The end.

The Kinks Dream

I had a dream I was a band member of the Kinks during the 1970s. Sometimes I was Ray Davies and sometimes I was Dave Davies and sometimes I was an anonymous keyboard player (Nicky Hopkins?) who took marching orders from Ray but not Dave. I was never Mick Avory or Pete Quaife. We seemed to be singing "See My Friend" and stuff from Muswell Hillbillies a lot. We were also chimney sweeps and sang and danced like the chimney sweeps in Mary Poppins but the chimney sweeps of Mary Poppins were like a rival gang across town. One day, I was singing a Kinks song in a green field that looked like classic English countryside and it was very windy. Someone held their hand out to me and when I took it, I woke up.
