Seeing the Friends list reminds me of a dream I had.
I never have watched the show "Friends," but Geoff at work used to recount plots to me, and some of them sounded amusing.
Perhaps it's because I helped Geoff move several times, but the dream started off at a new apartment Geoff was living in. It was sort of a neat place, I thought, and I was happy for Geoff. Then things started to slide a little. I began to notice that details were off, and things didn't have the right names, and I realized (as one does in a dream) that we were in "that episode" of the series. A nonexistent episode I never saw, to be sure, but I knew this was It. It was the "MAD-world" episode.
In this hilarious episode, the Friends become aware that one of their acquaintances (or maybe one of them; details fuzzy; ask again) was living in more of a parody world than a real world. That is, as I noted on the scene, the paperback historical novel on the side table wasn't Gone With The Wind, but something like Gone With The Blecch. I don't have any more titles to quote. That one's sort of nebulous. I must say, I was convinced on very little evidence in this particular dream.
But it was satisfying. For a moment, I was in an episode of a TV show, in a sort of MAD parody within the episode. It wasn't exciting -- in fact, it was really sort of dull and boring, now that I recite the particulars. If it helps any, the apartment was next to a body of water, with boats and stuff on it, so it was more keen than one might suspect.
A TV show from the Well of Lost Plots! (By which I mean, something sort of similar to the Jasper Fforde books I've been devouring recently, but that's another story.)
