Last night. Yours Truly was in a new episode of "Saved By The Bell" and I assume it was the Post Graduate Years, as Tiffani Amber Thiessen and Mark-Paul Gosselaar were unchanged from the College Years. I can only assume that because of my exposure on SBTB: TPGY that I was cast in a romantic comedy with Owen Wilson. In the movie’s penultimate scene, I realize that I did not love the object of my affection, unlike Owen, and I allowed the leading man to win the leading lady. Comedies do not win Oscars, but I was surprised by my performance. Due to my performance, perhaps my mind will cast me in a serious dramatic role that can win an Oscar. “I would like to thank the Academy and my Ego…”, not necessarily in that order.
I suspect that my career move to acting was influenced (albeit subconsciously) by learning that Anton Yelchin recently died in a bizarre accident, he was only twenty seven years old (June, 1989).
We have previously noted that anger will cause Yours Truly to wake up from dreams. Interestingly, however, the situations, that is, the absurd scenarios I will eagerly accept and “play along” as a professional playing my role.
So, absurdity is acceptable to my subconscious, but if absurdity leads to anger, then it leads to waking up. Considering the hundreds of thousands of dreams that I’ve had, I can only reason from last night that most are guilty pleasures like situation comedies and other light fare, as the number of angry episodes are only a handful. We can conclude that Yours Truly is an easy going person, if based on reasonable conclusions from recollected fragments of dreams.
We know that although we can lie to “real” people, can only attempt to deceive characters in our dreams- for when I said to Margaret Thatcher a few weeks ago that “I don’t know who was my favorite[political leader], you or Reagan.” And with hesitation, she responded “Ronnie was”. I wept, woke up confused and went directly to the bathroom. I was till crying several minutes later. I would like to think that my subconscious could find a less traumatic way of informing me that a bathroom trip is urgently needed. Of course, a second rate psychiatrist will explain this information in the only manner he is capable of understanding it.
In conclusion to this part, absurdities are acceptable, but profound primal feelings will not allow my dreams to continue.
We not only accept the given situation of a dream, that is, the immediate environment, but we also supply any necessary background for the situation. “What is my motivation?” the actor asks the director. Therefore, the acceptance of the situation combined with relevant background knowledge, we can participate in our nocturnal fantasies. We suggest, although we cannot prove, that the situation without backgrounds, such as motivations and some character history, will be rejected by the mind, therefore the creation of background material is necessary. The background or situation maybe be fantastical, and may not be remembered on wakening, but is indispensable. Of course, the background is not complete, as when we are awake, but it does not need to be complete-it only needs to be accepted by the mind, hence upon awaking, we realize that absurdities abound in our dreams.
The Gentle Reader may inquire why human minds accept scenarios that are alien to the individual’s experience, as Yours Truly interactions with heads of state in his performance as a Great Occultist are minimal. “The cards know all, tell all.” We are reminded of an episode of the “Animatrix” where it is stated, to the effect, that the machines accept what they experience-artificial intelligence accepts all scenarios as “reality”. The Gentle Researcher will reach his own conclusions regarding the subjective acceptance of dreams while asleep and the suggested understanding of any premise by artificial intelligence.
We suggest that we know we are awake, and not dreaming, by one simple fact. The fact is that we know we are awake. We know that we have had long and varied experiences in our lives. Not all of our experiences were pleasant and not all experiences were miserable, so this an indication that we exist in reality and not Heaven or Hell, that is, our experiences partake of the good and the bad, whereas segregating the best and worst, and only experiencing one of the other, would indicate that the situation was not plausible, and therefore, could not be real. Said another way, because of our extensive background and real life scenarios that we recall and can, when prodded, remember, we know this existence is reality, whereas dreams are, at best, either poor imitations or shadows on a cavern wall. Unlike dreams, “reality” repeats- we live in the same city, drive the same car, see the same people for weeks, months, and sometimes years on end. The assumption that better recollection and familiarity indicate either reality or truth is a not a certainty.
In the “Matrix”, Cypher, the unnumbered card of the Tarot deck, wants to return to the city as someone more affluent and celebrated, and we assume, more attractive. Cypher has reasoned that since he is a creature of finite duration, he wants all the material pleasures that he can experience. Cypher has not entertained the idea that his experience may not be reality and chooses according to his assumption regarding his perception of reality. Others, such as those not limited by the lust for luxury, would perhaps negotiate with Agent Smith so that one’s knowledge and experience would be placed in a particular youth to continue learning and growing from additional experiences. “Ah, to be seventeen again and to know what I know now.” We remind the Gentle Reader that the unnumbered Tarot Card is titled the “Fool”, whereas the unnamed Tarot Card is number thirteen.

conclusion
“We never had to take any of it seriously, did we?”
“No, we never had to.”
Due to the convention of the English language of omitting certain assumed phrases, we offer the following meaning:
“We never had to take any of it seriously, did we?”
“No, we never had to take any of it seriously.”
Our addition provides some clarification to the dialogue, but we can only speculate regarding Johns’ use of the pronoun ”it”, as “it” should refer to the previous usage of a noun, and there is no previous dialogue. Only the omnipotent narrator can know what “it” is, however, we offer the following suggest meaning for the Gentle Researcher’s benefit:
“We never had to take any of the absurdity of the characters and the resultant situations seriously, did we?”
“No, we never had to take any of the absurdity of the characters and the resultant situations seriously.”
I expect Kelly, Zack, Maggie, and Ronnie to be in attendance when Yours Truly is honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for my lifetime achievement award recognizing my work in animated short films, such as “Goat and Crab”; horror, “Some People Call Me The Greatest Occultist of the Twenty First Century: The Awaking”; comedy, “Some People Call Me The Greatest Occultist of the Twenty First Century: The Final Revealing of the Apocalyptic Revelation: Part Deux”; western, “The Seven Apprentices”; and the enduring romantic comedy, “The Cancer Gemini”.
“No, we never had to.”

I appreciate the farcical, but not too subtle nature of a water park ride, as I made my nightly excursion to the bathroom. If the dream world would be so kind as to provide the winning numbers to Powerball, that would be great.
