I've been waking up and remembering bits of a lot of dreams lately, and some have been very strange.
As I've said before, a little reflection usually turns up what I have read, seen or heard in recent days that would have inspired the content, but this morning I was having trouble working out why last night's dream featured me as a different person who bought a cooked human brain and was eating it (!) (I really did not care for the texture or taste, and was wondering why I was even doing it. It was also my brother's brain, which I thought was good because it probably reduced the risk of getting a prion disease from eating a random one. Cooked brains were, by the way, commercially available in the dream - I wasn't boiling it at home).
Other snippets of dream I could identify - going to an odd opera (I had been listening to an opera director on Radio National the other day), and being in a Singaporean grocery store (no mystery at all - I watch a lot of Singaporean content on Youtube.) But eating a brain??
Then it came to me this afternoon - it's almost certainly because of Donald Trump's ridiculous recent referrals to Hannibal Lector, and every time he does it, it turns up on Twitter.
So there - I don't need to worry that my true core identity has always been as a cannibal, and it's only surfacing now in later life. It's just Trump eating my mind....
