Weird dream
I'm probably focused on aliens because of last night's WEIRD dream.
I was a Hindu type named Naresh Surabashtra. I was running a low-budget TV show on public access cable, called "Cooking as it is." In this episode I was showing how to prepare and cook an alien invader, which was a GIANT octopus large enough to cover highways with its tentacles. Preparing the alien for cooking was especially tricky because you had to process each tentacle to prevent it from regenerating a new octopus during cooking.

Later: This is an excellent illustration of the completely separate mental space for dreams. None of the parts of this dream correspond to my waking imagination. I've never identified with Hindus. Naresh Surabashtra is a well-formed Hindi-style name, but it's not a real name and it's not a name I've ever imagined. I never think about public access TV, and certainly never imagine myself as a chef. Giant octopuses are not part of my usual thoughts. The only possible link-point is that Surabashtra sort of rhymes with Polistra.
