I Dream, I Dream Knot

Guess this one. When I woke up in the morning today, what do you think was this first thing I did? That’s right, I tried wearing a necktie.

If that sounded strange to you, try having a dream in which you attempted to wear a necktie for an hour, but couldn’t get it on right. The fact that the necktie was a part of my old secondary school uniform might have made things worse. And if that wasn’t enough, the darned thing, inexplic­ably, had four possible ‘front parts’ — one design for each school ‘house’ — and the wrong one kept turning up at the fore every time.

I’ve heard that dreams are the brain’s way of preparing for possi­bil­i­ties. I am fairly certain I won’t be wearing something like that any time soon.

And in case you are wondering, I succeeded in tying the perfect knot (in reality) on my very first attempt.
