What questions would you want to ask?

Asked by Kardamom (33494points) April 28th, 2015

I’m sick. I had a weird dream last night. I dreamed that I went to the doctor and he said that I would only get well if I could go 24 hours without asking a question out loud. If I asked any questions out loud, I would stay sick.

I’m sure this weird dream was the result of being on Fluther late at night, being sick, eating spicy food, and actually asking questions Lol.

Anyway, all night I tossed and turned and actually saw visual manifestations of questions piling up on the floor in front of me. Oddly enough, they were all strings of the letters of the words in the questions and each of them was very decorative, some of them dripping in liquid gold, some of them covered in shiny red candy, like the kind lollipops are made of, some of them dripping with other shiny jewel-like material. Note to self: don’t eat spicy, pickled vegetables before going to bed when you are sick.

Anyway, I kept thinking, what questions would I want to ask while in this 24 hour state of restriction that I would have to keep inside. In the dream, I asked hundreds of silent questions and they kept building up on the floor in front of me, all dripping with shiny substances. Now that it’s daytime and I’m wide awake, I can’t recall any of the questions.

If you were in this same situation, in that you couldn’t ask any questions out loud, to anyone, for 24 hours, lest you continue to be sick, what questions do you think you’d be longing to ask?

Apparently, after the 24 hours had transpired, and you were back to a healthy state, you could speak normally and ask as many questions as you wanted to.

I don’t do the Does my crush think about me if I dream about him type of dream questions, sorry if anyone was expecting that.

You’ve been sick a lot lately. Winter’s over. Have you had a complete physical, 2nd opinion?

Your question describes me during Fluther’s (waning) heyday. Desktop only. I’d think of 100 Fluther questions a day, and when I sat down that evening, couldn’t express a one.

Then you’re not getting in @jonsblond unless it’s my magic potty.

People ask me questions at work all the time and I nearly always answer them with a question as I don’t like to just jump in but make sure I amd asnswerig the question asked. Maybe it’s my librarian training – I never answer the first question that the user asks me, I always make sure I’ve understood what they want to know. So I’d be useless at work and have to go home (result!)

I wish there was a way to just dump out all of my brain itches without having to form them into actual coherent thoughts.

There are a lot of things jangling around up there. But most are too unruly to be wrangled into presentable clothes.
I’m lucky if I can get their hair brushed.
