I have some pretty strange dreams, you can imagine, I'm sure. I've had a couple odd ones lately, and I know there's multiple studies both science and magic related behind dreams and what they mean. Well, I guess one of them was more of a nightmare; I woke up terrified, I don't know why, really -- but, this massive american purple tyrannosaurus rex was trying to talk me into going near the window so he could eat me! All American accented and everything it was weird! I woke up after a while of him trying his best strangely terrified.

And THEN, right? I was sleeping the other night, as you do, casual like, right? And THE SAME CHEEKY T-REX was subbing for Professor Donoghue! This time he was a lot smaller though, and he had a cowboy hat on... He kept getting mad at me because I kept telling people to stay away from him.

I don't see how those could be related to any form of science or magic other than me eating too much candy before bed.

You could earn so much money donating yourself to science.

[speterman]

I'm pretending you didn't say that.

[arrogantalloy]

You can pretend if you want. I still did.

Of all the teachers you could dream about it replacing, why Donoghue?

[speterman]

We're looking past that now...

I don't know, he's one of my favourites... So maybe I was just thinking about his class or assignments before I slept?

[arrogantalloy]

Well there is that.

Sure you like him? The dinosaur did substitute for his class after all.

[speterman]

Maybe he was on vacation to some tropical island in my dream.

[arrogantalloy]

This is starting to become a very extensive dream

[marshall_lee]

So...you dreamed about Barney then? Was it a super de-duper dream?

[speterman]

If it were child shows I was having nightmares about I would think I'd dream about the Boobahs....

[marshall_lee]

...what the hell is a Boobah?

[speterman]

Erm, that is something I can't explain in words.

[marshall_lee]

Huh. If you hadn't said "child show" at first just from the name I'd assume you were talking about boobs.

[wwistful]

Have you considered visiting a nurse?

[speterman]

I always have weird dreams, sir... sorry. If you want me to I will, I mean, I doubt it's anything important, probably an over-active imagination....

[wwistful]

You needn't apologise, I was making a jab.
Though I'm sure there's a potion that could settle your imagination while you sleep.

5 points from Ravenclaw for having weird dreams about your teachers.

And for thinking about them before bed.

[speterman]

With all due respect, I technically didn't have a weird dream about my teachers, he wasn't even in it, therefore it wasn't about him. I also would like to point out that I can't control what I dream about?

[Therefore he's going to Tess, the head of his house and telling on you for being rude and taking points from him whilst implying what could be taken as sexual things.]

And last, I would like to explain that I'm sure over half the school's subconscious mind is thinking about their teachers and or classes before bed. So with that baseline you would have to run around, run certain psychological tests on everyone and take points away from each and every one of them that came up positive.

[Either way, he's going to another teacher and telling on you.]

the most awkward private message to a professor ever

[sugaredpotions]

Professor? I'm his girlfriend. I think a dream really is a dream, in his case. Fizzing Whizbees make his head go funny.

[itsintheblood]

Strider, you can't dock points from my students for something like a dream.

[sugaredpotions]

Remind me to remind you not to eat Fizzing Whizbees for at least an hour before you go to bed.

[speterman]

But I needed energy... and they're good...

[sugaredpotions]

...but they make your head go all funny and you get even weirder dreams than usual...

[speterman]

...but I like them and the weird dreams could be totally unrelated...

[sugaredpotions]

They are delicious! And I know you like them. But you're dreaming about your teachers, sweetie. That's not so good...

[speterman]

He wasn't in the dream! I wasn't dreaming ABOUT my teachers! I was dreaming about a distinct lack of my teacher and a dinosaur substitute!

[bubblingover]

)(oneslty, i found weird dream t)(e coolest!

[speterman]

I don't know, they were honestly a bit disconcerting.

[bubblingover]

ok, so even if it's a strange dream
sometimes, t)(ey can tell you somet)(ing about yourself!
it mig)(t )(ave a deeper meaning
you just )(aven't found it yet!

[remembertheroses]

It sounds like a strange dream indeed. Can candy give you strange dreams?

[nunganunga_k_o]

Was it "Howdy" or "Youse guys"? The Hamburger-a-gogo type have quite a varied range, you know.
