I’m a fan of the sitcom, ‘The Big Bang Theory’. I haven’t seen them all, partly because I thought the show lost some of its earlier luster, but I still catch re-runs once in a while. Still, I was surprised when Sheldon, Leonard and the rest appeared in my dream last night.

I was primarily interacting with Leonard, played by Johnny Galecki. We were at school, he as Leonard, me as me, working on science experiments. We were working close together, that is, our lab stations were close by one another, and we were talking about our projects. My work was secret; I never saw it and I didn’t explain it. His work…well, I don’t understand it now. I understood it in my dream but it’s a different matter once I cracked my eyes apart for daylight.

I do remember, though, that we lined up with our experiments on a polished floor like the one we had in high school. We were ‘on our marks’. I was at the front of the line with Leonard. Then we moved forward to a judging area. Then, I remember telling Leonard, “Your experiment is incomplete. Based on what you’re saying, you would need to do the experiment at least one more time to verify your proof.” As Leonard, frowning and squinting, was thinking that over, Raj, Sheldon and Howard all pondered my comment. Then, one by one, Raj, Sheldon and Howard agreed, “He’s right, buddy.” This displeased Leonard. He thought he was done. Shoulders slumping, he said, “Oh, nuts.”

And that basically, was the dream. It makes me laugh, recalling it now. It seems so silly.
