It's so rare that I have dreams that I remember, and even more rare that the ones I .do. remember don't fit my six or so dream themes that contain most of them. This morning I had a totally random dream that I happen to remember, and it's pretty goofy.
So in my dream I was on Jeopardy! (the game show, duh) and rather than being beside Sean Connery and Turd Ferguson, I was up against regular people. There were two other male contestants and I was the returning champion. So it was Tom, Jude, and Ray. On with the Jeopardy!
Anyway, we were in between the Jeopardy round and the Double Jeopardy round and it was time to "meet the contestants." Both of the men said their little schpiel and made a point to say, "And I want to say hello to my beautiful wife so-and-so." So then it's my turn and Alex Trebek is asking me about my Smurf collection and I answer, and then I smugly look over to my fellow contestants and say something like, "I would like to say hello to my /very intelligent/ partner, Sam." (Sam? Who is Sam?)
You know, I never really thought about it in my conscious mind, but I /hate/ that people introduce women or refer to women as "my beautiful wife" or "my beautiful girlfriend" as if there is nothing better that defines them. Don't get me wrong, I like it when significant others think I'm beautiful, but if I'm going to be described by one adjective, I don't think I'd want it to be "beautiful." Does anyone ever say, "I want to say hello to my beautiful husband?" *boggles*
