Cat with a Camera on its Head

I'm not really sure what I'm going to say here, but I think it's gonna have to be brief. Because all I want to give you is an image of a cat with a camera on its head.

I like it. Don't you?

Where I got it was...well, I wish I could tell you the whole thing, but he's kind of private.

So, my friend who will go unnamed....he watched this movie about validation, and then went to sleep and had this amazingly long and vivid dream, that was actually really validating. He didn't mention that when he told me, but now I see it.
It entailed traveling and music and cooking and meeting new people and parties...and in the beginning, he meets a cook at a restaurant, and then sees the cook perform in a band...then wakes up in the cook's apartment. The cook's girlfriend tells my friend to call her sometime as she left. The cook had three cats, and one had a camera on top of its head.
The main scene of the dream was really later, when he runs back into his ex-gf and her parents, and the parents first think that he's tracked them down like a stalker, but he gets to explain that really he's just on tour as a musician and bumped into them by chance...and they are impressed, and they tell him that they can't put their fingers on it, but that he ( my friend) has changed somehow for the better since they last saw him (breakup)...that he seems wiser, more mature, more spiffed up and together, confident.
Yeah! What could be more validating than your ex-lover's parents telling you that you seem magically different and improved since they saw you dating their daughter?
I dunno, maybe lots of things. But I love dreams, and I love the visual of the cat with a camera on its head. Especially since it plays no other part, and the camera wasn't like a plot prop or anything. Just something my friend casually noticed in the corner...in his dreams...before getting validated.
Oh! I could add this. After watching validation short film, and having validating dream, my friend went around and wrote validating emails and comments to his friends! I love it!
I validated him too. I'm gonna show off the one he wrote to me here:

"You have a superb talent for creativity, a knack for attracting wonderful unique experiences to yourself and everyone around you. You're a great leader and are full of energy! GO!"

What also comes to mind about my friend - since I mentioned him being private, and this is a blog - is this fact, which I also love: He has a blog, but it goes by a different name - his friend's name. And he blogs things that come out of his friend's mouth - unedited, just as they are. But the friend has no idea!
Somehow it seems related....or there's some circle getting completed here....that I just blogged the personal dream of the friend who only blogs his friend's words under his friend's name. Maybe I'm the new secret outlet for my friend's own thoughts!
I'll blog for him, and he'll blog for his friend.......
Hmmmm.........
Well, don't hold yer breaths, folks! This is, after all, my second post in my LIFE. :-)
I'm trying to pick up the pace.
