infrogmation | Wacky dreams

I don't recall the majority of my dreams, but recall 2 from last night. I guess they seem sort of similar. I woke up briefly between them. I also don't usually have anthropomorphic animals in my dreams... I can't recall any other examples.

In the first dream there was this group of white crows that were using evil magical arts to screw everything up. A bunch of us were trying to fight against them but nothing was working. So finally someone says "We're going to have to try using the Alt Bug." (Background: the phrase is used for software bugs involving commands using the "alt" key, and in my dream "alt" was also "alte", German for "old", so I make geeky bad puns even in my dreams.) So we went to see the Alte Bug, who was this big anthropomorphic powder-post-beetle wearing a monocle and top hat, his appearance based on a pest control company mascot "Dr. Bug" cartoon logo from my youth. The Alte Bug explained to us in a Mittle-European accent how to set parameters and then use the "Control Alte" command to undo things by making them "Alte"; ie returned to the status quo ante. We successfully used this strategy to undo the evil crows' work.

My second dream was in a nation of sentient iguanas. Awake I recognize the dream setting as the iguanas living in the Maya ruins of Copan in Honduras, which has been the setting for a number of my dreams for decades, but in this dream it was La Republica Iguanadon.

There were some humans (from foreign lands) living in the Iguana Republic; I was one of them as something like a Peace Corps worker. There had recently been a coup, with the Iguana Democracy overthrown by far right Dictator Iguana backed by some evil foreign humans. One of them was Orly Taitz, who we suspected was sent down there by the C.I.A. to help make a mess of things. One of the Iguana Dictator's hench-iguanas tried to bite me, but I grabbed it in my thickly gloved hand and threw it down the pyramid steps into a big bucket of ice-water. The iguana bobbed up from the bucket with a very startled expression on his face. Then I woke up.
