"My dreamlands are positively enviable, full of weird animals..."
- Famous Person 1
My dreams are singularly banal. I go to work. I shop for food. I even recall one in which I read a book.
I think this may mean that my daily life is so unlike reality that I have to dream my quota of 'normal'. I think the dream life and the normal life are lines that run parallel for a bit and then converge abruptly at a certain age (the mystical 39 again). The effect is one of transition - from random, randy solidity to near transparency. This transition just cries out for an electro-mechanical solution: The Emotional GPS. Whenever you are feeling lost, you just consult the screen and a haughty, other-gendered ray-traced face tells you: 'You are right HERE., you idiot'.

Reading books or poetry is fabulous, isn't it? I recently dreamt I had composed a song with which I was beaming proud, until I tried recollecting it upon awakening and it didn't quite make sense, or rhyme... I think it's because in the dreamland words are often substituted by colours or smells.
PS Famous?...
In other matters, dream animals are the best. I like how you know what they are at the time evn if they are completely surreal. One one the weirdest I met was a composite hippo/gorilla.
Often though dreams that seem to have been mundane are but a thin veneer of normalicy and under scrutiny crack to reveal the strangest characters and situations,when trying to remember the dream pay extra attention to themost incongruous facts and stuff that you my otherwise have dismissed can turn out to be exciting situations that you just thought was normal because you were dreaming.
