I had a dream that Ken was in an animal enclosure at a zoo playing fetch with a pair of hippos. Things were going ok for a while, but then he was too slow to pick up the stick and one of the hippos charged him, rammed him, and tossed him about like a rag doll.
Naturally, I was horrified. So I got to work designing a safety platform that would protect the stick thrower from the hippos. It involved a circular safety zone in which the thrower could safely move, surrounded by a pressure-triggered "hippo toss" zone. If a hippo stepped into the zone, it would get forcefully pushed up and away from the safety zone.
I was proud of my invention.

Sounds like a nice thing to invent after the fact!

Thanks for your sacrifice, Ken. Now, future hippo handlers will be safe.

Naturally, I was horrified. Naturally. *snicker*

I think his original sentence was, "Naturally, I was horrified, so I finished my nachos and then checked to see if Ken was okay."

Peter, that sounds like one of those "Eureka!" dreams that extremely intelligent people have when they let their brain work on a problem overnight.
You should immediately quit your job and invest everything you have (sell the family members' stuff, too) into bringing a "Hippo Toss Safety Zone" product to market.

I was just dreaming about being at a fair-type place. I was with friends. Claire was there, and another girl who I apparently knew and had liked, but only in the dream world. Anyway, she decided she liked me back, which made me excited, but I didn't have any direct interaction with her. I was just talking to other people about it. Then I ran into Elydia and her boyfriend. She was really happy to see me, like she always pretends to be. She said hi, and she tried introducing me to her boyfriend. "He's the billiards guy, remember?" Her boyfriend was trying to recall. "He said he didn't work there, but he really did." "Ohhh," her boyfriend said, "hey." Apparently I didn't help them out at some other job I had involving billiards, which seemed to amuse Elydia. To save a little face, I said to the boyfriend, "Well, I was trying to maintain my cover." He half-laughed, and I started walking away. I looked back to see Elydia smiling and staring at me.
In a dream I had before that, I was crawling through a winding maze of narrow tunnels while something kept exploding in the distance. Bits of the explosion were making it through the walls of the tunnels, so it was scary. It was the same thing exploding again and again.

Charles, your conversational powers need some work. It's your dream, remember?
