In Your Dreams!

[cactuswatcher]

What have you dreamed about lately?

Just before I woke up this morning I was dreaming about what it would have been like if the movie The Maltese Falcon was really supposed to be The Maltese, Falcon. Mysterious woman, Mary Astor, hires Humphrey Bogart to look for Sydney Greenstreet's lap dog. Odd foreigner, Peter Lorre, appears to hinder the search, making wisecracks, "What's so difficult, Mr. Spade? ... 'Here, Falcon! Here, Falcon!'..." How would film noir have developed differently?

Most of it's faded now, but 2 or 3 nights ago, I dreamed I was in a writer's...office or home or something, & his (I think it was a he) latest work, possibly in a series, was in a stack on a shelf or a desk. I knew it was in there, & I was digging through the stack to find it, all excited about reading the new book or script or whatever it was, but I woke up first. It was all very clear & specific in the dream. I think something actually happened (in the real world) to wake me up, & I really resented missing the chance to read the...thing.

I like your punny dream about the Maltese, Falcon! I'm trying to remember who it is who writes about her pet, Peeve, & her bête, Noire.
