Dreams about Muppets

[Mary Louise]

Last night, I dreamed I was going to take a walk and do some kind of errand. I put my Tomy plush of Mokey in my backpack, with her head sticking out, thinking it was an errand a Fraggle might enjoy. I ran into some bullies, but I got away before they could do anything to me or Mokey.

Last night, I dreamed I was friends with Richard Hunt. He asked me what was wrong, and I reminded him that I was grieving for my dad. Then he took me into a little cafe and offered to buy me something, but I wasn’t hungry. I think I wound up getting a cup of tea.

Last night, I dreamed I met Wembley. At first, he was preoccupied and didn't want to talk, but he changed his mind when I said he was my favorite Fraggle.

Last night, I dreamed that I got a behind-the-scenes look at this sketch. The crew kept cracking each other up by shouting, “I’ll go get a Band-Aid!”

Last night I dreamed of watching a seemingly normal Sesame Street episode but then Prairie Dawn spoke and sounded like a slightly more feminine Sam and Friends era Kermit.

Last night, I dreamed that Ma Gorg was chasing Wembley and screaming, “Oh, no, a Fraggle!” without noticing that she had shrunk to his size!

Last night, I dreamed I met Linda Bove. Even though I don’t speak much sign language, I was able to sign, “May I walk with you?” and she said yes.

I had a downright terrifying one a few weeks ago. I dreamt that I was watching a YouTube upload of an old Sesame Street episode and randomly included among the segments was a real video of a man brutally murdering puppies. This was a legit baby animal snuff film hidden in-between Sesame Street skits. It was followed by that awesome SS cartoon about the beatnik bat reading poetry in a night club.

I literally woke up bawling after this one. That dream made me develop an admittedly irrational fear. Due to the variety nature of Sesame Street, it made me worry that some sick ******* on YouTube could add some disturbing deep web video into one of the episodes. YouTube's bullcrap AI censors wouldn't even detect it, all they'd see is Sesame Street. You could only get away with that using Sesame Street. The format of any other sketch comedy/variety show wouldn't allow it. Between the Lions was all about reading, SNL has the same few cast members and uses a laugh track, Robot Chicken is fully stop-motion, etc. Sesame Street, on the other hand, had random films and cartoons made by different people revolving around a variety of different themes. I know this will likely never happen, but considering Elsagate was a thing, you never know...

Now I can't even watch an fan-uploaded Sesame Street episode on YT without skimming through it first. I know the chances of this really happening are slim-to-none, but it's not unlike checking underneath your bed for monsters as a kid. You know that there's likely nothing to fear, but the mere chance of it makes you want to check anyway.
