Last night I had the best dream I have ever had. Even better than Iago (from Aladdin) Vs. Predator, which has topped the list since I had that dream about ten years ago.
I was sitting in my flat, quite alone. In the dream I was employed by Aberdeen Police to help solve murders (this is porbably because I'm reading Sherlock Holmes and Logan McRae books at the moment.)
I was watching Halloween: The Musical remake and enjoying a spot of brandy when my doorbell rang. The doorbell played the Doctor Who theme, and this makes me wish I had a doorbell. So I went to answer it, and on the otherside was me, identical in every way. Poor bastard. The only thing was that he insisted on covering his mouth and chin(s) with both hands. I invited him in, not in the least surprised to be seeing him/me.
He takes a seat and I pour him a brandy, He takes it and I finally see what he has been hiding. A beard! If you have even a small amount of knowlege of popular science fiction, then you know what this means. If not... I'm probably going to have to stop being friends with you. But read this.
I was of course more careful after this. But as I got to know mirror-me, I started to think he wasn't really evil. Just a bit of a dick, like myself. Then he revealed himself as the King of Sexism.
He told me that in his universe he had six wives (women there, it seems, have no option but to do what they are told) although only one lived with him at a time. This is so that if one dies, he can move another in immediately and she can take over cooking/cleaning duties. He revealed that he was head of the group who had taken the vote away from women, and worked so that they were seen as less than animals on his world.
Then he killed me, shaved his beard and took over in this world. Soon other mirror people showed up, all folk I knew. Mirror-Beets, Mirror-Jew, Mirror-Phil, all sexist lunatics. They planned to do the same to this world, then I woke up.
The only reason I love this dream so much is that it's the first where people, locations etc. don't change at random
