Weird Dream #140523

I have weird dreams. Like really weird dreams. Sometimes they are scary, sometimes they are funny, but almost always they are just plain strange. Like cartoon musicals strange.
Last night's dream is no exception. I had a rough night due to broken sleep all night and a too full belly from a chinese food buffet, but that's a different story. All of which most likely contributed to my crazy dream. So here goes, last night's dream......
The husband and I were at a planetarium type museum at which we were examining a 3-D diagram of the Milky Way listening to a podcast or other audio recording of Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining that we are on a collision course with our closest neighboring galaxy some millions of light years away, nearly verbatim his lecture in his "The Inexplicable Universe" series. So there we are, the husband and I, musing about just how massive these two galaxies are and how what we are seeing is actually what happened millions of years ago because that is how long it took for that light to reach us. In my dream my husband repeats his typical end of the discussion and continues that the stars we are seeing now can very easily not actually exist anymore because they are so far away that it takes millions of years for their light to reach us, so that star and that star could actually have already gone super nova and we will never know. Then Neil deGrasse Tyson comes on a tv screen that appears out of nowhere and has a conversation with my husband as if by Skype, petting the hub's ego by praising his extraordinary intelligence. Then, and this is where it gets really weird, then Neil (can I call you Neil?) Says to my husband "but can you cook?" Then Neil's image on the tv morphs into a cartoon that actually looks like the cat from Paula Abdul's half cartoon half live action video for the song "Opposites Attract". And Neil, in all his cartoon cat-self glory, begins to give my husband cooking instructions and recipe for what Neil swore was the best Thanksgiving Day Feast imaginable, which consisted mainly of pork chops - bone-in cooked with only a single frying pan.
At that point, the baby woke up looking for a mid-night snack, and thus concluded Neil's cooking lesson.
Like I said. I have weird dreams.
