Of Keys and Locks

[jamesq]

I had a dream last night where I was wandering around an apartment building trying to find my apartment. I had a key, but it wouldn't fit into any of the locks. That's not Freudian is it?

That depends. Did any of the doors lead to your mother?

I figure that dreams occur when the brain is sorting through the days input & filing it away in storage... if nothing much happened that day it might take out some older data & sorts through that... but there are some mornings I wake up & think "Where the hell did *that* come from?!"

garething and stephtopia are currently in Newfoundland for Steph's Dad's funeral. I'm looking after their cats while they're gone.

What does this have to do with my dream? Well the key to their apartment building was the key in my dream, down to the serial number stamped on it. I had no idea until I pulled it out of my jacket pocket this afternoon. So your brain sorting idea definitely has merit - the key was obviously stuck in my subconscious. But a Freudian interpretation is funnier!

And that there is why it's so funny!

Did you look for a back door?

Its very Freudian for your brain trying to figure out why you aren't having more sex.

Oh I know exactly why I don't get any sex - it's because I'm cursed!
