I had a dream about you. You were crying, and I couldn’t tell if it was because you were sad or because you’d been laughing too hard. So I decided to find out by telling you that I’d just heard from the cops, and your mother had been murdered. Before I got to the punch line you started sobbing in a different manner, so I realized you’d been laughing earlier. By that time the mood had changed, and I decided it best not to deliver the punch line after all. So I sat down next to you and put my arm around you and tried to console you for your perceived loss.

About This Quote

This quote is based on the idea that an action can have two or more meanings depending on its context. For example, "I had a dream about you" could mean, "I dreamed about you last night," which is the usual interpretation. However, it could also mean, "I dreamed of you last night." To understand this quote properly, the context of the conversation must be considered. If two people are having a conversation and they say "I had a dream about you" to each other, then it would be an expression of sympathy for the dead person’s loss.
