Danny ChaiI had a dream last night. I was at some sort of hazing type initiation thing. I don’t know the organization, but there were people from work there. It was being moderated by Ving Rhames. He would ask people in succession a trivia question, and if they didn’t get it right, they would be punished. I don’t remember the nature of the punishments, but they were severe enough that I was dreading my turn and really hoping that I’d know the answer to my question.
When he got to me, Ving asks me: “What is the name of the spice that comes from the squirreltail plant?” I don’t know immediately, but it seems vaguely familiar, and I tell him so, and that if I think about it for a minute, that it should come to me. So I sit there racking my brain for a full minute, then Ving tells me “Time’s up”, and informs me the answer, which I can’t remember.
Then he gives me my punishment, which involves him sticking a huge syringe in my inner cheek and injecting massive amounts of some sort of liquid. I can’t explain how, but it end up dripping down my leg. It doesn’t sound that bad, but it was scary and humiliating in my dream.
Then I woke up. That was my dream.
