Last Sunday I went to a preparation class for our trip to China in August. We discussed the itinerary, which will include the Great Wall, many Buddhist temples and Imperial Gardens. Afterwards, I went home and watched "Borat". I was particularly entertained by the wrestling scene with the naked fat man.
On Tuesday, I came home from work and watched "Stranger than Fiction". The movie is about an IRS agent who is obsessed with numbers. He counts everything, including steps. After the movie, I took my recently increased dosage anti-anxiety medication and went to bed.
That night I dreamed that I was climbing the Great Wall and getting in trouble with school because I kept miscounting the steps. (I kept forgetting to start at zero, versus starting with one.) When we were done counting steps, we went into an Imperial garden with a beautiful waterfall. Under the waterfall there was a man in a giant flesh-colored, naked Happy Buddha fat suit. He was dancing very much like Harvey Keitel in the "The Bad Lieutenant".
I know where all of this came from, most of it's obvious. But, what does it mean? Is a naked Buddha in a flesh-colored fat suit just a naked Buddha in a flesh-colored fat suit? Or is it a cigar?

I'm sorry I can't help you with the dream. The buddha Bad Lt. connection is a little too troubling for me. I am curious, though--why start with 0 and not 1?
The phone system I support at work was manufactured in Israel. For some reason, they start the numbering for some of the components at 0 instead of 1. So, I have 26 cards in the system but the last card is number 25. It took me a while to remember where that came from.
The Buddha was just dancing like Harvey Keitel. He wasn't actually Harvey Keitel in a Buddha suit. Put it out of your mind.
Too late now! I'll never be able to view Buddha the same way again, particularly if he waggles his wang like Keitel.
