Kickass, the doorstop dog, passes along the keeper’s appreciation to Larry W and DuWayne G for their responses in helping interpret the keeper’s recent puzzling dream of getting lost on Chicago streets while chasing two dogs that had upcoming theatre obligations.
In the AI sources they cited, the use of “Freudian” methods to decipher dreams suggests that the keeper’s dream might mean that he is “lost in the crowd, has lost control of his life, is anxious about his position in life, struggles with balancing primal instincts with external demands and may have hostile feelings toward Chicago.
It is the keeper’s sense that any or all of those things may be true, and he will be consulting with Phyllis to point a finer point on his dream analysis.
Or maybe not: Phyllis has a lot on her plate in getting the keeper through his waking hours and involvement in his sleep time might be asking too much.
