Beethoven's 9th makes a great alarm clock

Be embraced, you millions!
This kiss for the whole world!
Brothers, beyond the star-canopy
Must a loving Father dwell.
Be embraced,
This kiss for the whole world!
Joy, beautiful spark of gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
Joy, beautiful spark of gods



Dream:
(forgot everything but the final moments)

I was walking around somewhere in the valley with my dad.
Just prior, someone had this lsd that was like three small attached
sheets of thin paper--I may have wanted to buy some, but something
prevented this. So we were walking down this street and I became aware
of this horrible little animal--it was like a large flesh colored armadillo
without a shell and with fangs! And it had this compulsion to bite things.
It chomped down on my leg--when I got it off, it bit other animals, anything
that was alive. It was very annoying--think I notified my dad--vague--My
Dad and I end up in this room. Recall I was holding some sheet music(?) & did an
impersonation of Joey Ramone talking, which it seemed, only I thought was amusing.
Then the last part of the fourth movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony was playing
and we were both enthusiastically (pretend) conducting* with batons to it.
It was very vivid every note/sound spot-on and LOUD.
My dad was standing on a chair conducting,
while I was on the ground and seemed diminutive in comparison.
As it approached the triumphant close, I sarcastically said:
"I guess you can't have two conductors in the same room."

Analyze!

*my dad really used to conduct to classical music.

Whatever the case,

I think the conditioning is working!
