Last night I dreamt I was helping to film a commercial for socks. It began with a woman sitting on the side of a large green pond, dangling her feet over the edge. A monster a la the creature of the black lagoon swims over and grabs her feet, trying to drag her into the water. There’s screaming and splashing and she manages to escape onto the bank. The monster swims away and the camera zooms in on its delighted face as it slips the woman’s stolen socks on over its flippers. The tag line “anything for a little softness in life” appears in fancy white cursive text superimposed over the scene as it fades to the sock company’s logo.

I was really proud of this commercial and the effort that had gone into the monster costume, but it was rejected for TV because it reminded people of wet socks.
