Apr. 26th, 2012 08:25 amWondering whether Ricardo Montalban was dead shortly before bedtime led to people in my dreams talking like him. Final straw was a chant played over the dream PA in his voice:
Are you ambivalent? Yes, I'm ambivalent. Are you ambivalent? Si!
Are you ambivalent? I'm not ambivalent. Are you ambivalent? No!
And so on. Ahm-BEE-vah-laint. Had no idea what to do with that so I woke. I think reversing the positions of "yes I'm" and "I'm not" might have been cleverer, though it might instead have made it confusing.
(Previously I'd been driving my mother around in a minibus she'd rented the wheels of which kept falling off, and a Montalbanian parking garage attendant told us he could fix all but one, but that we'd have to go get that one fixed too by a professional or the rental company would charge us. I said we were insured but he explained that driving around with a missing wheel would be interpreted as bragging about the baby. There was no actual baby in the dream but I tried to roll with this. His metal toolbox was attached to the wall, had even been painted white along with the wall. When he opened it we saw that there was text, toolcarved into the inside of the top, describing three dead bodies that had been found in the parking garage in recent years. But this is Canada, I was thinking when the PA voice cut in.)
So I'm not sure that I'm not sure how I feel about all that.
