[Wonderful Labs] DON'T DRINK THE WONDER

[Wonderful Labs]

Dear Mr. Wonderful,
 
        I keep having nightmares where I'm moments too late to save
someone or something. Last night, I dreamt I was eating a pleasant lunch
in a shack on docks somewhere in Asia, when some fisherman hauled an
endangered species of whale onto the dock. I ran to save the whale but
the fishermen shot it just before I got there (and they nearly shot me,
too). I'm having these dreams almost every night.  What does it mean?
 
Ever yours,
Moopy

Dear Rime of the Ancient Marinate,

	That's funny, *I* keep having dreams where I'm laying on a bed of rice
while fifty-foot tall geishas drizzle teriyaki sauce over my nipples. 
Just as I manage to gnaw through the seaweed ropes that bind me I am
awakened by human voices and realize that I cannot tell whether I am a
sage who dreamt he was a whale or a regular guy who needs to lay off the
second helping of spicy fried dumplings and eggnog at bedtime.

	And it's so hard to get to the gym around the holidays, don't you find?
 Mainly because it's embarrassing to look in the locker room mirror and
realize you are now shaped exactly like a raw turkey.

	Your dreams may indicate that you are taking on too much
responsibility.  Yes, we are all God and no man is an island, but jeez
louise.  Give it a rest.  Take a break. The Universe is Love and takes
care of her own.  When you get an assignment from Karma Central you'll
know it, because it will be suited to you, unique you, and will be
specific to your talent.  Spiteful demons like to make you feel small by
telling you you're so big that you *should* be out there taking care of
Every Thing.  It's a twisty trap, so it is.

	Then again, it could mean that it's time for you to come around the
Labs for a Mu Shu Eggnog Party.  Believe me, a couple nights in the
Hookah Room and you won't remember any bad dreams, or even if you still
possess a head.

        "For several years now I've been doing most 
        of my writing at night, like from ten to two; 
        but Greg Benford recently pointed out that most 
        people are smarter in the morning than they are 
        at night, so maybe I'll try getting work done 
        in the morning."
