Workin’ On My Night Cheese

There's an old wives' tale that claims that eating cheese before bed makes you dream weird and incredible things. For serious?

LAUREN

Vice: Talk us through your cheeses.

Lauren:

Just the hard stuff, eh?

Thought it might. Tell us what you dreamt.

Shit.

What happened next?

Your dreams were annoying?

What do you think she was saying?

Do you remember anything else?

I’m sorry to hear it.

So, cheese dreams: fact or fiction?

LANI

Vice: What delicious cheese did you get to eat last night?

Annons

Lani:

Cheap and cheerful. Did you dream?

Do tell.

That dream sounds boring. What else have you got?

Go see a door?

OK, I suppose that’s a bit weird.

Then what happened?

That’s it?

Did you notice any effect from the cheese at all?

TAIT

Vice: What did you eat?

Tait:

Your body must hate you right now. Any dreams?

What do you think it means?

Well, that sounds vivid at least. Anything else?

That’s kind of a letdown, considering how awful that Stilton smelled.

Works as a theory… So in a way, you’re saying that cheese dreams do exist.

So there you have it. Pretty conclusive stuff. Three out of three people think cheese dreams sort-of kind-of exist. So, have a Gouda night and don’t let the Muensters bite! Cheese puns!
