Because I keep reading books where they talk about dreams.
Dreams are boring. Want proof? Here are some of my most interesting dreams:
- waiting for a bus at Baseline Station in Ottawa;
- going to the superbox at the end of the street to get the mail;
- putting a book on hold at the library through the library website.
Yes, I had a dream about sitting at my computer and going to the library website. Let’s see someone make an interesting story out of that. Except you can’t — because it was a dream and all dreams are, by definition, boring!

I laughed out loud, Meghan. Next time you’re in Toronto, let’s get together because my partner has outlined some rules which I must follow when I tell her about my dreams because she says all people’s dreams are boring. You might find them helpful.

I have my one sentence rule about dreams: You can tell me your dream provided it is one sentence only, no commas or semicolons. That is how long my interest lasts, and then, only barely. At Play In The Fields of the Lord has a fifty page dream sequence and I threw my book down the staircase as punishment for that.
