DOWN TO BUSINESS
I’m here to keep you dreaming
We can agree on being agreeable
If there’s one thing we can agree on, it’s being agreeable
The attempt to be agreeable

INTRO
Maybe you work multiple shifts or different shifts
Something long term or long torm
Long Tormer, a long term listener of Mel Tormé
Implying that I’m also a long term fan of MT
Being agreeable with a purpose
Is a Tommer a fan of Tommen?
Interviewing the Mel Torme fan in my brain
I need to learn more about Mel Tormé
The Self–Nicknamed Mel Tormé fan in my Subconscious
Talk about a breakthrough
Somewhere out there, as Feivel said, this always existed in me
Most people like to listen in order
This is a show within a show
I guess now I’m gonna briefly talk about Paul Anka
Creating a sleepy environment
Robert Langon is not the protagonist of this Dreaming of Newhart
Time to look up Mel Tormé
I must know some songs
Oh he did a song on the Home Alone soundtrack
Cool. Anyway…
STORY
This is a three part show
Explaining the structure of the show
Bob would just prefer to not be here
A Seasonal Dream of being Dick Lowden in Vermont
I’ve had enough of Kirk (who runs the Minuteman Cafe)
It’s snowing in Vermont
A seasonal dream in season
Joanne and Leslie are there, making cookies
A discussion about old fashioned holidays
Kirk is singing a parody song of some sort
He takes some cookie dough and pretends to eat it
He tries to put on this ruse
Leslie is going to spend the holidays with her family
Kirk will indulge in vices
George and I are going to the woods to look at idealized trees
24 members of the Silver Bird Ski Club are coming to stay
We already threw out the fruitcake my Mom sent along
This tree is way too big – we don’t have enough decorations for it
In my regular life, I got a very small tree this year. Huh, interesting
It’s really snowing a lot right now
All the guests want their own room
We’re snowed in!
Kirk and Leslie will stay together
Inadvertent Bad Sweater Party
There’s nothing to do in the hotel
I’m reminded that George is a loner
George wants a hug
A guy comes in looking for a room
His name is Joe and his wife is pregnant…
I let him take a room…just in case
Kirk tells a weird story about Nova Scotia
Kirk grabs plastic souvenir J-U-N-K- to decorate the tree
We have to use our holiday ham to make omelets for all the guests
The guests are playing Solitaire
Updates from Joe
His wife is going to give birth!
All the ski club members are doctors! They go help
Kirk is doing one simple magic trick for George over and over again
The baby is a girl named Tammy
The improvised tree looks pretty, after all
My wife saved me a slice of ham and I give her diamond earrings
Another guy comes in to ask for a tow truck
His name is Alan Wiseman and he has 2 brothers
And then I woke up
I tried to see if my assistant could predict my dreams
Bob doesn’t like the AI assistant
Can I go over the dream my assistant had?
The AI’s dream
Dick, George, and Joanne are waiting for a famous travel writer
Then everyone is snowed in
Room in the Inn for the Reviewer
An eccentric person asks for a room
The reviewer arrives, grumpy
The eccentric newlyweds are staying in the Honeymoon Suite
Didn’t Bob already have a dream like this?
A strong sense of community during the storm
Time to analyze some dreams
I also asked my assistant to draw some pictures based on your dreams, but that didn’t turn out too well
Cookies – a longing for childhood warmth
Eating cookie dough – impulsive authenticity
Jung – connection to cultural memories
Kirk’s parody songs – a Trickster archetype?
Didn’t Will Ferrell already appear once in this?
Virgo Sun – you want order even in casual settings
We’re still waiting for the official results on that enneagram
Superpositions of Traditions in Modernity
Multiple states exist until observed
Traditional modern elements in your personal life
Collapse of a superposed state into a definite outcome
The alchemy of social interactions
Maybe a walk in the woods is a journey into the collective subconscious
Within the Quantum Lens
Turning probabilities into a positive outcome
Maybe Kirk is a Type 4 Enneagramist
He sounds like someone who would make a sleep podcast
I wouldn’t want to be compared to Kirk
Anthropomorphic representation of emotions
Maybe the forest is all different emotions
Let’s pay attention if you go back to the forest in your dreams
Throwing Out The Fruitcake
Rejecting family traditions
In Jung, that might represent the Collective Family Shadow
I’m definitely searching for meaning right now
It could be influence from a Zodiac sign
You’re a Virgo, right?
Maybe you’re a Type 9 Enneagram if you’re trying to avoid things
Avoiding Direct Confrontation to preserve Inner Harmony
Is fruitcake a literary metaphor?
Old, Outdated Narratives
Moving onto the giant tree
Freud – oversized aspirations and you don’t feel adequately prepared
Unconventional Resources to fulfill your ambitions
Jung – this could be a self symbol
Bob feels like he’s decaying in these sessions, not decaying
Type 3 Enneagram – The appearance of success
A desire to be admired
Have you ever thought of yourself as Quantumly Creative?
Decorating the tree = revising your life narrative
No room at the Inn
Conflicting feelings about responsibility
This sounds like a Theme Park Machine Fortune
Hope of Divine Intervention
Capricorn and Surprises
Pisces and Compassion
Caring for Others
Maybe the inn is a safe harbor for your dreams
Let’s run through your day now
Holiday week at work
I had a very small, real tree
I waited until the last minute
Emily was upset this tree is so small
Howard shows up
Straight out of Charlie Brown
Scaling down for the Holidays
Howard takes 7 pancakes from me!
Are Kirk and Howard related?
Who eats 7 pancakes as a guest?
I had to go to work
It was gonna be just Emily and me for Christmas Eve
Howard wants to know all about office parties
Our parties can get pretty wild
We celebrate with other tenants in our workspace
Celebrating as colleagues, not employees
Carol already made the coffee Irish
Margaritas in the water cooler
The party is already under way
I got Carol a bun warmer
The party is on!
I gave Jerry ski mittens and goggles
Jerry is a very grateful person
Jerry gives me a really nice record player
Mr. Peterson comes
I have to leave out details of our session
He doesn’t like geese and upholstery
I think our work is complete
Did I cut the session short because of the party? I don’t think so
I go home
A nice, calm romantic holidays
People have elevator races at the office party
Carol calls me at home
Mr. Peterson wants to meet again
Emily wants me to work on my boundaries
I had to go back to the office
Emily is disappointed and upset
It’s really snowing and the power is going in and out
Peterson wants to be my client again
I’ll drive Mr. Peterson home
But the roads are closed!
Jerry is singing in a trio
I can’t get home to Emily!
Eventually I get home and Emily is asleep on the couch
I’m pooped
I had to walk home 4 miles
I’m ready to snuggle with Emily
Howard shows up with champagne
I’m ready to assert my boundaries
But Howard doesn’t stay
Emily and I exchange gifts and talk about love
I fell asleep while Emily was telling me she loves me
Sound asleep on the couch
It sounds like you’re growing to love yourself, Bob
