In my dreams last night, I started to tell a joke about a chip shop, then realised I didn't have a punchline at the end. So, all night, I kept the joke narrative going in the hope I would come up with something or else wake up before the end. (Note: this must be Stewart Lee's daily life) 1/4 - ThreadSky

Reading it all in Stewart Lee’s voice is very effective… except of course, no punchline…

I can't emphasise how stressful the whole dream was.

Genuinely sounds troubling. I think all anxiety dreams are something to do with “leaving the gas on” type scenarios? Unfinished business etc.

Meanwhile, considering the Stewart Lee angle (see what I did there?) there might be some merit in a punchline involving a Herring?

I toyed with the idea of making the punchline something about the fish being "battered," but that seemed unworthy of such a long joke.
Then there was a side joke about a window cleaner falling from a balcony and being impaled with a drying green clothes pole through him....

The fire brigade had to cut the pole with a metal cutter & then carefully place both the man and the pole in the ambulance. Except the pole wad too long for the doors to shut, so they had to leave them open and tie a rag on the end to warn other drivers.
I considered leaving that as the joke...

... but I realised I had spent 30 minutes on the chip shop and had to return to that narrative and find a conclusion.
Then I discovered the manuscript of the original joke in my pocket and was horrified to discover it was just a restaurant review cut out from a newspaper.

Can anyone with a background in dream analysis tell me what this all meant?

Chipper tea tonight. That’s what I’m taking from this.

You have, indeed, been possessed by the wandering night-time spirit of Stewart Lee.
Have you woken with an inexplicable urge to buy deeply obscure Scandinavian psychedelia lps?

eddiemckenzie1970.bsky.social•6 days ago
