Weird Big Bird Dream

[Convincing John]

While I'm waiting for Kermit to come on, I thought I'd post this Big Bird dream I had a long time ago. I posted it before on the old Muppet Central, so some of you might remember it, but for those who missed it...

Okay, I had just got the book "Sesame Street Unpaved" and at the time, I was trying to find an authentic Big Bird feather for my collection. I read about how Big Bird's feathers are categorized (from best to worst) in boxes labeled "A" through "E" when they build the puppet. The book says "Most D and E feathers are thrown away."

Then I fell asleep and had a dream:

I was standing outside of the Muppet Workshop. I made it there (somehow) and was ready to go in, ready to ask "May I please take a tour...and have just one extra Big Bird feather as a souvenir?"

And before I could take another step, lo and behold, Big Bird looked out the side window on the second story. In one wing, he had a box labeled "D" and in the other wing, a box labeled "E". He turned both boxes upside down and said: "Well, I guess we won't need these!"

Dozens and dozens of feathers fluttered down from the boxes, but as I tried to run towards them, my feet got really heavy (which is probably common in dreams) and I could barely walk. After two small steps, I watched in horror as ALL the feathers landed in the back of a garbage truck, which took off as soon as the feathers fell in.

And then I woke up but eventually I got an authentic Big Bird feather, and that dream hasn't bothered me anymore...actually now it's pretty funny! Hee hee hee!

Speaking of weird Muppet-related dreams, I believe a year or two ago I had a hilarious dream where Pepe was trying to kill me. And probably like many people, I've had my share of 'meeting Jim' type dreams.

That feather dream was so funny!!!!! And sad -- I'm glad that you finally did get the Big Bird feather!!!

A few nights back, I had a dream I had just bought the Rizzo Actiuon figure, and it melted and broke in my hands (the whiskers melted, andway)

let's just say, I'm careful with the real one I got yesterday!

Wow! The Muppets seem to be generating some awfully unfortunate dreams!!

I'm concerned about his whiskers breaking off. I'm sure storing him with other figures would most likely snap those lil things right off.

Hey Convincing John...

I realize that this is completely off topic ....but I noticed that you mention "Gilda's Club of the Quad Cities" in your signature. Is that the Illinois/ Iowa Quad Cities I'm thinking of? Just curious...it's my home area.

[Whatever]

Right now we're living a Muppet nightmare. Disney owning the Muppets.

Sure is, if you mean the one in Davenport, Iowa. It's right along the river. Just click on the link on my signature to get to their site.

FYI, I have an original piece of art of mine on permanent display there. It'll be auctioned off with all the proceeds going to help the Gilda's Club Quad Cities. It's a life-size replica of Gilda as she appeared on the Muppet Show doing her "Tap Your Troubles Away" number. Here's a link to the thread where I talked about it:

I've had a lot of dreams involving Muppets. Mostly it's a member of the Sesame Street gang who shows up. Big Bird, the Count, Ernie & Bert, Cookie Monster, Elmo, and probably others. I once had a dream with Fozzie in it as well.

Just last night, though, I had a dream about posting on MC! Am I the only one? I dreamed that I posted a message that was really random, and nobody responded. Here's what I posted in the dream:

"You know what the Muppets did today? They jumped around on a huge trampoline! There's nothing better than jumping on a huge trampoline!"

So anyway, looks like I just made my dream come true...
