For as long as I can remember, I have always had the strangest dreams. They are typically pretty short and to the point, but quite random.
A few years ago, however, I experienced quite possibly the most random, outrageous, detailed dream – I mean, you can’t even make this stuff up. And now, I am sharing it with the world. So, sit back, relax, and get ready to say “WTF?”
It was a cool, fall evening and it had just gotten dark outside. I walked to a pub that seemed to be situated in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by only a few street lights. However, inside there were a fair number of people and the crowd was pretty standard.
I took a seat inside a booth with red pleather seats and a wooden table. I ordered a soda and the waitress just brought it out to me when a strange, tall man in his 40s walked into the pub. He had dark hair, a slender face, and was wearing a long, black trench coat. He crept over to the bar and nobody paid him any mind. Then, he walked over and stood at the end of my booth.
“Can I help you?” I said.
He told me he needed to share something with me – something he was hiding in his coat. I was so creeped out by the guy, but also curious, so I told him to go ahead and tell me about it.
He opened his coat and pulled out two clear containers – each containing spaghetti with googly eyes. They were not only alive, but also seemed unsettled and rowdy – squirming all over pretty aggressively.
“This is the naughty spaghetti,” the man said. “They misbehaved so badly that their owners couldn’t stand to have them around anymore, so it’s time to whip them into shape. And I need your help.”
Not sure why, but I agreed to help the strange man and his naughty spaghetti.
We walked toward the back of the pub, over to an area where there weren't many people. The man led us to a large aquarium in a corner, and I could see some sort of animal inside. We got a little closer, and I could see it was a porcupine.
The man goes, "It's time."
He handed me the naughty spaghetti and asked me to put it nside the aquarium with the porcupine so it could "teach it a lesson."
I dropped them inside, and the naughty spaghetti and porcupine immediately started battling. It looked like a cartoon where dust is flying and just bits of the porcupine and spaghetti would pop out from time to time.
I asked the man why the naughty spaghetti and porcupine were fighting, and the man explained that since the naughty spaghetti was so misbehaved, they needed to be taught a lesson, and this was the only way how.
After about a minute, the mess had settled. And suddenly, the porcupine was missing all its quills. Except with its quills missing, it was actually a human thumb. A happy, calm, human thumb.
The man pulled the spaghetti out of the aquarium and suddenly, the porcupine and naughty spaghetti were settled and calm. He said, "They're good now. They can go home."
And that's it. That's the weirdest dream I have ever had.
