Freud would have a field day with me if he was to hear the recollection of a dream I had not more than half an hour ago concerning Linux.

Im sitting, surrounded by green meadow. A lake is in front of me and it looks like Im laid out on my beach chair. I pick up a magazine and am reading. Shortly after I get a tap on my right wrist. Looking around my magazine I see a happy, fat penguin looking at me. He/She/It pulls a glass of lemonade (complete with umbrella) from behind his back like out of some cartoon. It is offered to me and I graciously take it. It looks at me very happily and walks off.
I sit there and sip my lemonade and begin reading again. Some time later, there is a squawk. I look around to the source and discover another penguin on a hillside to the left and behind me. Binoculars are raised to his/her/it's eyes and the penguin firmly points ahead of itself, jumping up and down in a frantic gesture.
A whole bunch of penguins appear on the small hillside to the side of that (but behind me of course) and they all mount a big gun like object upon their left shoulder. They seem to be aiming it ahead of them in the direction that the "lookout" penguin pointed. I look in that direction too but see nothing. Suddenly there is a loud "WHOOOSH!" and I see a whole bunch of rockets stream in that direction, smoke coming out from behind them of course. There is a loud explosion as they reach past my horizon of view and a shockwave ripples the ground a bit, shaking me and my chair slightly.
It is then that the penguin who gave me lemonade appears again. A male voice (one that sounds like entirely too much helium was inhaled) apologizes to me: "Mary, you must excuse us. We are out of lemonade. Sadly that skirmish tipped our bucket of juice over." I smile at him and tell him that its fine. He grumbles a bit "Its all because of that silly glasses wearing guy that keeps coming into our territory."

Was I dreaming of a fictional representation of "Linux Land" or what? Lets hope that penguins aren't infecting my brain (despite how much I think those things are adorable) less than a day after I fully crossed over to Linux from M$.
