Funny dreams
I was reading an article about a friend’s architectural project in Zagreb and the writer quoted Wittgenstein saying “unhappiness in life is directly related to frustration, fear and pointlessness.” I would have to agree with that statement hands down. One of the theories that Shirky talks about in his book on Cognitive Surplus is that people in their lives are motivated by autonomy and competence and I’d have to say he summed it up for me too.
But sometimes I think humor transcends all of these feelings. Last night I had a work dream with a funny twist – we had all been called on the table for shipping hairbrushes through the company’s name and that was bad, but what was worse was one of my European cohorts had insured the brushes and put Tin as the beneficiary! I laughed even in my dream.
I love that. Laughing in your dreams. Levity, at last.
