Uh huh. ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/sarcasm.png) Well, my thanks to everyone. I'll see about karmalizing you one by one over the next week. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I'd best get back to work now. I was hoping that perhaps somebody would say "Oh, that's close to an expression from X movie." or "That sounds like a word salad for the expression Y." But if gibberish is all it is, then so be it. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) A good weekend to all. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

LOL Virgil! Since it was a dream - I'd vote for it being tied to anxiety after all you can describe the room and the woman and the satchel with clarity but you can't quite figure out what she said... the "Here take this and go" wasn't very clear for from her actions/whatever you 'interpreted' as that. Then there's puzzling "You'll be running like machete that cat paddles." I'm guessing you've got something going on your life that you are very familiar with but that's causing you trouble for some reason - and you can't seem to figure out WHY it's being difficult. This could be just about anything - a relationship, some plan you are working on, some project at work. It's kinda like those times when you are awake and things are going as they should but you aren't getting the results you wanted which you should have been getting - and you start thinking "Why is this so difficult?!? - everything is correct or everything that happened before is happening again - why isn't it working?" OR You could also just try saying your catch phrase out loud in different ways/inflections to see what it sounds like - maybe it's a Mondegreene

Ok - I just re-read this part again. You're working on a problem, but right now all you're doing is back-paddling and going over previous data and getting nowhere. Until you stop over-analyzing the problem, you're not going to move forward with your machete (mind) to hack away at at the problem and reach the solution (the exit from the cave into the bright light - the answer).

I thought about that, but the closest I could come up with is "You'll be running light machinery that catapults." It's a stretch, and it only barely makes any more sense. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

Lets call in the good doctor, Der Herr Doktor Ludwig Von Drake c/o Disney studios. There has to be soming in their archives dealing with paddling cats. Certainly with things that run. Im less sure about machetes there. But the good doctor should come with a couch?

Maybe your wife/girlfriend is whispering gibberish to you while your are sleeping, just to mess you up!

You'll be running like machete that cat paddles. . .
looks like a Chinese proverb. . . .
video games are mostly made in japan though . .. .
I'm still thinking along that line . . . too many similarities between the game Catherine and the type of dream that was. Catherine is a very odd game. (it's just the oddity that is similar)

In the game Catherine, the guy is having relationship issues . .. he's not ready to marry and his girlfriend is pushing him into it. . . . he gets drunk winds up in bed with a younger woman also named Catherine. (both women are Catherine and they have a 10 age gap) While he's drunk he has all these strange dreams that make no sense, not even the words make sense. (at least from the small part I watched) He has all these strange dreams about committment . . . . . and he wakes up and he's alongside a much younger nekkid woman, which confuses him more. . . . . .she tells him just don't cheat on me. He keeps trying to tell her that there's someone else . .. .but she runs off before he can say it. (like I said weird)
So if going by that game . .. .and I know this probably has nothing to do with Virgil. But by going by this rather odd game . . . .
He's running (perhaps through tall grass or jungle with vines, or other obstacles), the woman (women often referred to as cats . . aka cougars, catty, cat fight . .etc) is chasing him weilding a machete. The action of the machete cutting through the brush looks like a boat paddling through water.
Thus you'll be running like machete that cat paddles.
Make sense? Hey it does in my mind .. but then again I don't have a normal mind.

You'll be running like machete that cat paddles. . . --------------------------------- Running like machete = Blade Runner. Cat paddles = paddles are another word for oars which rhymes with whores. We have Blade Runner and Feline Whores. Does that clear things up, any? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
