Night of November 24, 1977. Thursday.
My dream features a raccoon and a Siamese cat that live in a large city and work together as detectives (apparently in the world of humans). This recurred a few times, but still before the television series "Simon and Simon" was filmed or aired. The name of the fictional series in my dream was firstly "Sammy and Sammy". There was this odd idea that the raccoon and the cat were somehow brothers. There are scenes of the Siamese cat and raccoon sitting together on the front steps of a courthouse. However, in another scene, this "courthouse" looks like the front of the apartment building on the "Sesame Street" television series and may in fact be a spin-off from that children's show. I view the scene as some sort of projection from a book (somewhat different implications than my dream details below about the "living book") which is about half of life-size and appears along the north east area of my room facing west. I do not directly interact with this imagery.
"Sammy and Sammy" was seemingly not "well received" in my dream by the public, so, using a pattern a little closer to the word "Siamese" (I assume) - the title became "Simon and Simon" and seemed more "correct" in an additional (or “reset”) dream regarding the fictional show that became popular.
Obviously, when the actual television series was later known and I saw it for the first time in real life, also on November 24th, I was intrigued. Of course, the detectives on the real show were human.
In a dream of the same time period (also including on the same morning) I had a large book on oceanography, which was like a “living book” that was similar to another one that featured the above fictional series (and I apparently had several more “living books”). Over time, the images in the photographs on the pages would seem to come to life or at least appear as a sort of implied portal into the scene (though obviously not big enough to go into physically). It was very peaceful to look at the various moving images. In one dream, I was able to use the charts and graphs on certain pages in an interactive way (and this was before I ever used a computer in real life). I watch small schools of fish move about deep in the ocean. The imagery in this dream was fairly realistic compared to certain other dreams.
