The Monster in the Machine

This dream started like a nightmare, but proved to be very funny in the end. I was writing a speech recognition program in Visual Basic, when all of a sudden I felt caught in an electric field that didn't let me move. I tried to get away, but I could't, the energy was drawing me towards the computer. Then I saw in terror how the screen breaks and first a hand, then a leg comes out.I finally managed to get away and ran into the kitchen, where my father was washing the dishes. I locked the door behind me and I told him: "I got in trouble big time." "What have you done this time?" he asked. I wanted to tell him but I didn't have time, cause I heard the 'creature' forcing the door.

I knew it was a matter of time till he broke in and my heart froze. Finally the door opened and I could see him. He was very tall, he had strong arms and he had no clothes on apart from a pair of shorts. He went towards the sink where my father was and I was affraid that he was going to hurt him. "Don't hurt him. He's washing up', I begged him. He pushed my dad gently aside with his broad shoulders and asked: "Why shouldn't I do it?" So he started to wash so dishes, but he was so clumsy that my heart softened towards him and I felt something like a warm feeling inside. "That's not how you're supposed to wash the dishes, you poor little thing", I told him. Then I woke up.

Once I dreamed I was a duck and I flied to Japan. I've never been to Japan in real life and I'm sure I've never been a duck (unless I was one in my previous life and I can't remember).
