dream logistics

[deird1]

Dreamt last night that my home had been invaded by a serial killer. (My dreams usually end up with people trying to kill me in some way.)

But it was okay! Because I'd put all these bolts on the inside of my bedroom door! So the serial killer couldn't get in! Phew!

Anyway, at this point my boyfriend knocked on my door and asked to come in. And I looked up and called "Oh yeah, come in. Just make sure you slide all the bolts back in place behind you, okay?" And he did.


...you see the problem?

I woke up this morning, and thought, "Hang on - how did he get the bolts undone so he could get into the room?" Now I half want to go back to sleep, so I can fix it.


So, yeah: in my dreams last night I was chased by a serial killer, saddled with zombie-nephews, and trying to stop a prison-escapee from getting to Disneyworld. But the bit that really gets to me is the logistics of opening doors.

Obviously in your dreamworld, your boyfriend has magical powers.

Logic and dreams are unmixy.

On a vaguely-related note, this reminds me of a joke...

Tommy: My dog's name is Blacksmith.
Paddy: That's an odd name for a dog. Why did you call him that?
Tommy: Because every time we get a visitor, he makes a bolt for the door.

.....hehehe. :-)

But yes, methinks the boyfriend has magickal powers that allow him to walk through the door...or he used magnets.

I second that this is because your boyfriend has magical powers.
