3-24-2009 I Have A Dream ... About Pro-Wrestling Robots

Is it on? Oh, it's on.

I had a messed up dream last night.  In the dream, the UPS came and dropped off a package.  In the package, there was some new type of video game console and a 1 ft. tall robot.  So I plugged the console into the wall.  The game required you to kick the robot's ass with pro-wrestling moves.  If you stopped fighting it though, the robot would start growing and getting tougher to beat.  So, I played the game for a long time, body slamming the robot, super-flying it, pile-driving it, thinking "yeah, this is too easy".  The robot stayed under 2 ft. tall because it was so much fun kicking its ass.  But then, the phone rang, so I went outside to take the call where it was quieter.  I had a long conversation, totally forgetting about the robot game.  After the call, I pushed the door open and the door was blocked with a thud when it hit the robot's now beefy arm.  I didn't want to go inside because it looked like it was twice as tall as me and totally ready to kick my ass.  So I burned the place down.  THE END.

Follow-up Comments from the Peanut Gallery:
<ledge> the director's cut
<ledge> that'll be in tonight's sleep
<ledge> including the scene where you open the door and then the robot starts laughing, and then you start laughing, and then the sound guy starts laughing and then the director yells "cut"
<beanfootage> IDGI
<wheeerm> Yeah, I don't get it when actors do that.
<wheeerm> To robots.
<ledge> see now that's an awesome dream.  my wife tells me about her dreams all the time, but they are usually like about driving, or people she used to know
<ledge> and never make sense to me
<ledge> but she keeps telling me about them
<wheeerm> Well, then you need to fully crush her dreams.
<ledge> I haven't actually remembered a dream of mine after I wake up since I was like 12
<beanfootage> tell her you have you recurring dream where she's telling you about all these boring-ass dreams
<beanfootage> then tell her "oh wait, that's not a dream."
<wheeerm> I usually don't remember them, but the recalls been better lately.  Caffeine methinks.
<Tak|work> and then realize it's your life

...
<ledge> see, I can't relate very well to all those weird metaphorical ones because they just sound like boring stories.
<Tak|work> ledge: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html
<ledge> but giant robots, I can relate to those
<wheeerm> I've been told that, about 10 years ago, I used to wake speaking complete gibberish.  So it was like daytime.

...
<ledge> wheeerm: the best ever was one night my wife sat up, poked me till I woke up, then went "bawk bawk, I'm a chicken" and went back to sleep
