Odd dreams

I had a couple of very random dreams last night. The first had something to do with an Austrian nobleman who was interrogating prisoners or something... simple enough. Except in the dream he was singing a song to Cake's "Symphony in C", only with different words.

The other dream was about a former professor of mine from New Mexico. He was probably the only professor I had who actually intimidated me. He taught a class that was basically quantum physics for freshmen, the hardest freshman physics class in the country. I still get an icy feeling in my gut when I remember that class. It wasn't that the professor was terrible or anything, but he's about 7 feet tall, extremely intelligent, and unaccountably good at making me feel like I'd somehow disappointed him. I passed the first semester of his class with a C, but when I got to the second semester, I dropped after about a week and I have a suspicion that he was glad to see me go. In any case, I had a dream that he had moved to my town and was doing all these little delivery jobs and such and always ending up at my house with that same disappointed look on his face, like when I failed a test or something. Traumatic, I tell ya.
