The panda ambled past a small gnome and began to chew contendedly upon a clutch of sweet bamboo shoots. The gnome promptly stood on its hands and sprayed the panda with the pungent contents of its monoxydil gland. The panda, already furry as hell, paid no attention.

I began to realize this in early 1994, when I had a week of extremely disturbing dreams. I have a list of nine.. to give you an idea of what to expect, this is a table of contents as I commonly refer to them: I. The Abortion Clinic Dream II. Catholics III. Parapalegic Warfare IV. Exorcism/Double Gibson V. People Full of Insects VI. Santa Claus and the Mouse Witch VII. At the Mall with a Spiked Club VIII. Stuffed Animal Assassination IX. Piranha Happy Hour at the Local Nightclub Scared yet? They'll probably be pretty short, because I don't intend to make them into stories - I'll tell them like I saw them, inconsistencies and all. It was my habit to post the dreams in the message areas of my BBS as soon as I awoke, so I'm working both from text written while I was still 'there' and from memory, since I didn't write every detail.. so here's the first.. I. The Abortion Clinic Dream. The first impression I had was of the clinic, and how spotless it was. Everything was perfect. Then I walked in, about 40, tall, thin, with short black hair, wearing a white lab coat and black glasses. I knew upon sight that I was a good doctor. The kind that instills confidence in you immediately. Not just good.. great. I knew my business, and I knew it well. I had made my appearance to talk to a woman and her daughter, the woman about 45, the daughter 16 or so, not yet visibly pregnant. The daughter was pretty, as was her mother, but their faces were marked with worry. They didn't know much about the procedure, so I suggested that we go discuss it. As I said, I was a good doctor. We went to a comfortable room that was made just for that purpose and sat around the table, reading pamphlets, and I made sure everyone was completely informed. I felt very satisfied that I was doing such a good job - really adding something to the doctor/patient relationship. After talking quietly for a while, the mother and daughter decided that she would go through with it, and I nodded, expressionless. I would have felt the same if they had made another decision, and would have then referred them to adoption agencies or special foundations. Instead, I guided the mother to the waiting room, and gently told her that it would be about 20 or 30 minutes. The girl had changed into a scrub-blue gown, the kind that ties in the back, and was standing, looking nervous. I took her to a room farther down the hall, telling her that this was the room where the procedure would take place. I asked her to sit on the edge of the table, and she did. I helped her put her feet and ankles in the stirrups, which were cold metal. She gave a slight gasp at the shock of the uncomfortable exposed position and the cold on her legs. I moved up the table to address her, again, considerately and gently, asking if she were alright, and if she were ready to go on. She took a deep breath, and said yes. I went to a metal drawer, and removed a speculum from the cloth on which it lay. I returned to her and inserted it carefully, so she'd adjust with the minimum discomfort. When she was ready, I opened her up. I then walked to a tank of cold, thick gel, removed a large white rat, and inserted it into her head-first. Then I went to get a cup of coffee.
