dream last night

An amusing dream I had last night which I want to share.

In my dream I was at work. I don't recognise/remember the environment but I know I was at work. We were in a meeting but I don't know who else was there at this point. Then I saw a familiar face syt22 so I called out to him. I asked him what he was doing at my work. Turns out that he was now working at my research lab. I said that was rather surprising seeing how he being a lawyer and all artsy-type. So I probed further about what exactly could a lawyer be doing at an radiology research lab. Now this gets really interesting: he's here to write a bit of Perl script to parse legal documents and find/tag keywords in them. So I started thinking how this would work, and where the dollar variables would come in. (I only just started learning Perl, for real, you see.) Then we have a bit of a chat and some of his other friends, whom I've briefly met them in real life or seen Facebook pics, appear in my dream too.

So I guess I've been thinking too much about syt22's upcoming wedding dinner. And maybe too much about work and coding. I never thought I would have in one dream: syt22 and his friends, research lab, and Perl. But I do (now I mean, not last night) wonder if law firms could make use of something like the above. Maybe they already do!
