Broccoli Dreams

I had a very strange dream this morning, I must have been nearly conscious because I remembered it very vividly upon waking. It started with me having walked away from work, angry or frustrated by something and wandering through some sort of concourse, a type of amalgamation of a Turkish bazaar, a large mall and Times Square. I ended up in an almost empty theater sitting near the top snacking on something, I don't remember what, as the theater slowly began to fill. There were a group of service men in naval uniforms but by and large the auditorium was filling up with heavy set middle aged or older women. I found myself sitting amongst a sea of estrogen. As we waited for the show, I didn't know what or who was performing/being performed, we could hear loud music coming from outside the theater, it was something by the Beastie Boys. Some of the women started to complain and I began to defend the Beastie's saying how much their music had meant to me when low and behold the show begins. It's Margaret Cho doing stand-up only Margaret looked like Christina Applegate in a svelte, sparkly blue dress and she was doing a big song and dance production all about... broccoli. Yeah, I know. So some time after the performance she's (Margaret/Christina) talking to the audience about getting our 5 servings of fruit/vegetables a day and I told her I ate lots of veggies, especially broccoli as it's a superfood. She asked what I'd had that day and I was doing good until I remembered I'd had bacon and eggs for lunch and so had the kids and then the crowd turned kinda holier than thou feminist/left wing/vegetarians on me. Somewhere around here I lost the thread of the dream and awoke and remembered the dream and then just shook my head.
        As an afterward while at the grocery store today they had broccoli spears (is it spears, or bunches, or heads, or branches, or a murder? no that's crows) two for three dollars so don't think I didn't drop two bunches of branches in my buggie. After all, broccoli is a super food.

  1. I guess the veggies were having their revenge on you in dreamland! You have nothing to feel guilty about because you ate a big bowl of broccoli last night. Hence, no angry veggie dreams:))
