I had a really cool dream yesterday in which I had to convince my younger sister – who was 5 in the dream even though I was my own age – to come inside and go to kindergarten. I eventually brought her into the classroom and then played with her while she got to know the teacher and she was giggling when the bell rang, but I realized I was late and had to be across the building. I was hauling this suitcase on wheels through my old elementary school and walked down the final hallway and found myself in this technicolor amusement park/ water park/ train station/ university. I was trying to walk up some planks to a ship to take a fabulous voyage, but I couldn't get my luggage up the walkways. People tried to help, but I realized I couldn't bring the baggage and anyway it wasn't time for me to leave it just yet. Then everyone broke out into a show-stopping full chorus rendition of "Karma Chameleon" which included their costumes and the trees turning from red to gold to green at the appropriate point in the song. Then I boarded a giant magical raft with a bunch of people. We were being shipped to an island to study Advanced Techniques, Concepts and Random Silliness. I strapped my bag behind me and leaned into the water which sprayed over me and everyone else in a very fun way. The guy next to me and I were laughing – but some of the people behind us were scared and thought we were crazy – and we felt so FREE and happy. When we disembarked we were led to a martial arts/ meditation field and were handed our scrolls to study and our school robes which looked like posh velour bathrobes. Then I woke up.

Why can't I have dreams like that? I want some of what you're on.

PC -- It was a delicate mixture of Spanish wine, Canadian whiskey and Tylenol PM. But I've always had weird dreams.

Z -- Perhaps...

1. LaSirena would not be allowed to wake up until there was a satifatory conclusion to her weird dreams.

Hey Doctor Chip,

Boy George is too gay for himself!

That's why he calls himself bisexual.
