Me: I just had a completely weird
night of dreams. Can you help me?
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: Certainly, just a
moment. You don't mind if I smoke a cigar, do you?
Me: No, go ahead..
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: You know,
sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Now, go ahead.
Me: Why do I have toxic people in my
dreams?
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: Since all of the
people in your dreams are really you, that means that some part of
you is a toxic personality.
Me: How do I stop that part of me?
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: Stop drinking
Kool Aid. It was that weird blue color this morning?
Me: Yes.
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: Well, there you
are. And since you don't mix it with real sugar you are giving
yourself a double dose of toxic chemicals that remain in your body
for a very long time.
Me: But I like Kool Aid.
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: So how many times
have you heard it?
Me: What's that?
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: Don't drink the
Kool Aid.
Me: But they are referring to the
Reverend Jim Jones poisoning of over 900 people. He put cyanide in
the Kool Aid.
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: And you know
what's in Kool Aid now?
Me: Just one packet of whatever flavor
I grab and about a cup of sucralose sweetener in water. Though I
mostly like the cherry flavor.
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: These things will
give you toxic characters in your dreams.
Me: It was only one night.
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: So how much
Kool Aid do you drink?
Me: A gallon or more a day.
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: Oh my. One glass
after school would be enough.
Me: I'm 40 years or more passed
school. Since I'm not far from the end anyway, what can it hurt?
Dr. Psychiatrist Me: Well, you are
having a conversation with you.
Me: You've got a point there.
