Strange dream last night.

During slow times at work, I've been catching up on past Hell's Kitchen seasons on Hulu. So I guess it wasn't surprising that I had a dream about it.

Some HK geekery )

Got it?

OK, in the dream I was my age, but I was a retired Special Forces Master Sergeant with an artificial right leg. I had taken up cooking after being injured. One of the other blue team chefs, an arrogant young jerk, had decided I had been an Army cook, and constantly tried to ride me for that. The actual dream was in the dorm after a spectaculary bad dinner service where the arrogant young jerk had screwed the team. We had to choose two to be up for elimination, and I suggest AYJ for his poor performance. AYJ got pissed off, and tried to threaten me. That's when I got in his face and told him that I hadn't been an Army cook, but rather a Green Beret Operations/Weapons specialist. That's pretty much where the dream ended.

What's weird is I'm rather phobic about cooking, and even if I had gone career I would never have qualified for Special Forces. Also odd was I was seeing the action like it was in a show being broadcast, complete with narration, music, and changing camera angles.
