am i insane

[graham]

are there any daf phsychologists or dream analysts out there or am i just going insane?
had a strange dream last night i was at my dads house only it wasnt, there was a church hall opposite and my dad said i should go over, inside i was confronted by a daf type 6 moped and i thought i must tell doc members about it as it was such a rare find??
the strangest thing is that the event at the hall was for vintage lawmower racing?
any ideas!!!!!!!
by the way i may be going insane but dont hold this against me

Hmm, it seems to me that the symbology of your dream is quite clear, if a little disconcerting. The fact that this started in your dad's home indicated an early childhood desire to own a Daf, most likely suppressed at some point when you mentioned it to one of your school mates. The ensuing ridicule and bullying has caused you to shut the desire in your subconscious ever since.

By finding a "Daf moped" in a Church is indicative of your mind finally starting to come to terms with the idea that Daf ownership is not only "ok" but, in fact, Good and Right on an almost godl-like level. The lawnmower racing theme is, undoubtedly, an echo of the harsh and cruel taunts that you suffered all those years ago at the hands of your classmates - likening your dream car to a Briggs and Stratton 3.5hp.

But the appearance of a Daf moped demonstrates that you're not yet ready to leave behind all those years of denial, so are embodying your desires in an ultra-rare (in fact, mythical) form of Daf that you know it's safe to lust after because you can never own one.

Unfortunately, this continued suppression of your true desires must be confronted if you're to lead a normal, healthy, life. Doing this may take several more sessions of analysis, which I would normally charge around £240 per session for. However, as a special service to a DOC member, I'm happy to continue your case at a 75% discount of just £60 per session (+ materials, + VAT). Paypal is accepted but carries a 5% premium to cover their fees.

thanks dr monkey for the therapy i feel better already i will see what happens tonight £60 + materials + vat is a lot of sandpaper and filler

[spunkymonkey]

I know. But I analysed myself earlier and figured that 2 sessions at that, I could get myself a mig welder, which would greatly improve my condition

[daf44]

hi graham.

no disrespect to Dr Monkey but £60 may also buy a face mask than protects you from 30 year old filler dust and petrol fumes.

some of those old paint/filler/petrol fumes can get you higher than a vanload of hippies on acid.

Dr Monkey may be on to something though.
paint/petrol hallucinations don't normally take such a clear form so continued therapy may be needed.

have fun (but not with filler dust)

*** puts on best analyst-at-work accent and hopes no-one noticed he didn't use it before ***

So, ve can concluuude from ze above that Daf44 hass ein fetish for ze paynt unt filler fumz unt iss trying to displace his pervershun into ze otter forum members. Zis iss not gut unt clearly requires furter analysis!

[graham]

dr monkey you have a place as the resident shrink

[spunkymonkey]

Thanks for the job offer Graham but, with due respect, if I'm faced with people who take this on as a resto



then I'm not sure I'm up to the job. Especially if that person claims that

hi there.

[glow=red,2,300]as sane as the rest of us[/glow]


we have a Dr Monkey who thinks he is an aardvark and we drive cars that ARE actually powered by rubber bands.

we are all as sane as each other.
it is just a different type of sanity.

i am in a nightmare where as i have brought a bright green daf 44 but i havent woke up yet

someone pinch me!

;D

[dillyman]

I too am nuts - but really. As well as Dilly, among sundry other motorised things, I have about nine or ten dusty old motor mowers none of which are presently in working order because i have no lawn to mow - only a back yard! The nicest one is a 24" Dennis with ride on seat. Also in the Dillyman stable is a Honda P50 moped which is taxed and on the road. In June I am booked to ride it from Hartlepool to Whitehaven - coast to coast - about 145 miles or so. I need to stay young and healthy as I passed seventy three last week!(years old - not mopeds!)

[spunkymonkey]

Daf44 - I am, in fact, an aardvark who thinks he's a monkey. Maybe a small difference to you but quite an important distinction from where I stand (on all fours wondering why I can't climb trees like all the other monkeys)

Dafdaffer - your nightmare iss just a feegment off your imagination, most probably caused by feelings off being unvorthy off owning such a magn.ificent car. You are not alonee in zis, it iss a common affliction vich vill pass in time.

dillyman - you seem to possess many off ze elements off Graham's dream - ze lawnmowers, ze moped unt ze Dafs. You must be careful who you tell - in zis age of litigation you may vell be found liable for hiss insanity!

[littlebelter]

Yes. What a magnificent dream. I think you are not insane but maybe your diet is in need of adjustment.

I find that in my case such hallucinations are usually due to imbibing red wine and eating cheese late in the evening.

Don't waste money on shrinks. They do say you have to be half mad to be a shrink anyway! (apologies to Doctor Monkey) Adjust your intake of cheese and red wine to give greater or lesser hallucinations.

Maybe a late night diet of Oude Gouda and Beerenberg would make you really DAFt. ?

Rigors.

littlebelter youve uncovered my weakness for cheese and tonight ive been drinking red wine who knows what will happen tonight?
