A very disorienting dream, like two competing storylines mushed into one. On the more prominent side, my dad was alive again, but extremely feeble. He was in a wheelchair and tried to get out and ended up falling to the ground, messing up his knee. I got help from someone to bring him over to sit under a tree across the yard, but he was in horrible pain the entire time we carried him. So, yeah, unpleasant. At the same time as I'm trying to care for my dad, I'm searching for a baseball card of Tiger pitcher Dan Petry. Yes, that specific. And it's not like Dan Petry has come to mind in, I dunno, the 21st century? (I don't think I found the card.)


Was it this one?

As far as I know, my dream self never got that close to identifying the specific card. But Dan Petry? How deep was my subconscious mining itself to pull out that reference?

I was sort of in a Batman story—I wasn't reading it nor was I participating, more like a ghost observing it up close—where the Joker had been arrested and imprisoned for killing another new Robin, tho he denied it. Batman believed him because why would the Joker lie about that? So Batman was working with the Joker to find Robin's real killer, who I knew was actually the new police commissioner—Gordon was no longer on the scene for some reason—a woman named Zelda or Velma. Most of the action that I followed was Zelda/Velma planting false clues for Batman and the Joker. Everything was done in a sorta halfway world between comic book and live action. That is, everybody was illustrated by Jim Aparo but they had full motion.

This one will likely only be understood by my 90s bros for life, Hoy and Flexo: I dreamt I met Joey Ahlbum, who you will remember as maybe the closest thing Nickelodeon had to a house animator—they certainly used his work enough. We sat and talked for a bit about how good Nickelodeon used to be, and then I woke up. See a typical Ahlbum station ID below:

Was there any explanation or feeling of why the Joker cared enough to help with the investigation? Just to save his own skin?

The Joker was very much a modest sidekick (at least what I can recall). The core of the action focused on Zelda/Velma's sinister behaviour.

I choose to believe her name was Zeldvelma®.
