Well
I would like to say that the current tensions in the Middle East are not
affecting my mood and my life, but then I had one of my head-twisting vivid
dreams last night that would suggest that maybe recent events and political
affairs have unsettled me...
Somehow - and I think I may remember something like this happening before in
one of my overnight weird imaginings - I was part of the American government.
Not sure what my actual role and position was, but I was around all the important
people and I was being asked for my opinion often, and I was walking around
with a clipboard that had a picture of the Presidential seal on it, which tells
you I was a bod of note. Part of my duties seemed to involve sorting out the logistical
details for an upcoming foreign visit somewhere. I had a list of civic events
that we were expected to show up at, a plan of photo opportunities at
significant locations and various wristbands and passes to dish out to the
relevant individuals. There was also something about meeting the Pope for breakfast
but I can't quite bring that fully to mind.
Anyway, it transpired, through a series of events that would only ever make
sense in a dream, that I had somehow mixed up a couple of lists and then
e-mailed them to the wrong people, so my travel itinerary full of interesting
locations and historical venues got switched with a list of possible military
targets in Iran. And no-one had noticed the error. So now we were minutes away
from bombing the shit out of a friendly country while simultaneously sending
the President on a jolly tour of a hostile nation. And it was all my fault and
there was nothing I could do about it except sweat.
And then I woke up sweating....
Now I don't want to scare anybody this morning, so, if you're worried about
what might be about to unfold over there in the Middle East, I assure you that
- outside of last night's dream - I'm not really involved in any way, so I'm
sure it will all work out absolutely fine...
