I had a dream last night wherein Patton Oswalt and I were eating turkey hoagies.
[Sidenote: Kitchen unpacked and cleaned. Woo hoo!]

Wow. There are just so many ways to interpret that. How did you know it was a turkey hoagie? I don't eat a lot of hoagies, but don't they usually come with ham or salami? Maybe Patton - at least the dream Patton - is trying to slim down? At some point did he say, "Sure do love these turkey hoagies. Can you believe they're so low fat?"
Assuming you agree that Patton Oswalt is a dwarf - what is he, just under five foot tall? - here's what the first dream symbolism book I found has to say:
"Dreams of seeing or visiting with or dining with a happy and contented dwarf strongly indicates that all your troubles will soon disappear as if by magic. If the dwarf was mean or unhappy, however, beware of false friends."
So the question for you, Litz, is was Patton enjoying his heart-healthy turkey hoagie?
I know the hoagies were turkey, not b/c Patton or I discussed it any way, but b/c I eat a lot of turkey sandwiches and the meat contained in said hoagie buns was definitely turkey-like in its consistency.
Patton and I are were laughing and joking--I believe we were sitting at a picnic table--and generally having an affable time. So I'm going w/ the "troubles will soon disappear as if by magic" interpretation.
Thank you for not turning this into a sex dream.
That was gonna be my second guess, actually. But that's just because I've heard, from very reliable sources, that Patton Oswalt's penis looks like a turkey hoagie.
