Dream 24.6.1

Dreamed my Dad revealed he was really good at "QWOP", an 80s arcade game starring a character similar to Kwirk on Game Boy, where the object was to make goat noises at enemies to distract them before you shoot a tether at them, jump up and spin them around your body a few times for points, and then catapult them onto rockets coming out of the ground and floating metallic platforms with volcanic, Bonk-esque scenery.

He was showing this to my uncle while we were waiting in the green room of the local Theatre for Todd Rundgren to arrive. He walked past to get ready. Someone came in asking about the cat you could see from the window outside and I told them someone lived up there and that was their cat. Some girl came in wanting to buy Doobie Brothers records but as this was my parents' living room, it was kind of crowded and hard to get to the record bins. I showed her three 12" vinyl bags of cotton balls based on Doobie Brothers album covers and she said she already had them. She went back to look through the records by the front window.

Grandpa came in and gave me a hug instead of a handshake, then asked me if I got my heritage while I was in jail. I didn't know what this meant since I had never been in jail so I shook my head and he walked away disappointedly.

The video game was now a 2.5D platformer about a young boy who was too foolish to know that the proper thing was to make goat noises at your enemies, so he was reprimanded by his father and jumped down to an area with no floor, so the blue sky was just beneath the bricks and logs he was sitting on while his mother tried to figure out where he was.
