Joey's Dream

This is in response to Joey's dream, as posted on his blog:

Okay. The important thing to remember is that the T-Rex was dead to begin with. Remember this, or nothing that follows will seem strange and wonderous. Come with me as we see how far down the rabbit hole goes. At first, I believed these to be three unrelated dreams, until I reached point "4". It is in this seemingly innocuous soporific statement that the truth is revealed. This was a cry for help waiting for the right person to hear. You may not have thought it would do any good, but you couldn't have been more wrong.

The key is to take all three dreams as part of a larger whole. The essence of each section is:
1) Jurassic Park
2) ASU
3) Harvey Korman

Go to Google and enter the following in the search box and click "I'm Feeling Lucky.":
"Harvey Korman" "Jurassic Park" ASU

It will take you to this site:
http://www.public.asu.edu/~msitome/top50movies.htm

On this page, you will find two Harvey Korman movies as well as Jurassic Park. The numbers on the list are 37, 32, and 21. 37 - 21 = 16 = 32 / 2. Adding together the digits we have:
3 + 7 = 10
3 + 2 = 5
2 + 1 = 3
Each sum is the previous number divided by 2, rounded to the nearest integer. 2 is clearly the magic number. Continuing the pattern, the next sum should be 2, meaning we are supposed to look at movie 11 or movie 2. Pulp Fiction or Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Samuel L. Jackson was in both Jurassic Park and Pulp Fiction. This leaves us with two Harvey Korman movies and two Samuel L. Jackson movies. The question now becomes, what is Samuel L. Jackson trying to warn us about?

In Jackie Brown, SLJ says a line "Now, you should listen to this, 'cause it concerns you." He also had a small role in Kill Bill 2, and in this movie, the character Elle

Driver says the exact same line. In context, she is talking about the lethality of the bite of a black mamba. The full quote can be found here:

Now it is clear. The overall theme of your dream was lizards, tying back into the fear of the dinosaur in the first dream. From here (http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/lizard) we get a definition of what a dream about lizards means, which in the context of what you have posted recently, seems apropos. Now, you should listen to this, 'cause it concerns you.

"Seeing a lizard in your dream means your primal instincts and reactions toward sex, food, etc. and your anxieties toward these feelings. The lizard can also be representative of a person who you view as cold-blooded, fearful, or thick-skinned. On a more positive note, the lizard also symbolizes emerging creativity, renewal, and revitalization. It may also suggest that you are well-grounded."

Anxiety towards food: Meg being eaten by a dinosaur
Cold-blooded person & primal instincts toward sex: your fear of becoming that Cold-Hearted Snake in the situation described in your second dream.
Emerging creativity, renewal, revitalization: Your admiration for Harvey Korman's past work, and as he mentioned that his career is essentially over, so will yours rise from the ashes. Your recent good fortune in both your performance work and sound design puts you on the cusp of realizing your creative dreams.

If this seems far-fetched, you should try reading The DaVinci Code.
