Dear Mariaaaaaa,
   Surely you must know the meaning of my dream.
There is a penguin drinking choclate milk. He puts on a glowing mask and runs through the halls frighteneing innocent people in their sleep. He shouts, "Pop! Soda! Coke!" and holds out two pencils, offering me a waltz. Later, the penguin puts on a pair of thongs and runs flip-flopping around and around until he finally falls into the water fountain. Then I get sent home because the penguin is my pet. What does it mean?!
     Frightened
Dear Miss Van Vogt,
   My live-in boyfriend left me last week. I have no idea, because he was so happy doing the dishes, cooking the meals, grocery shopping, doing all the cleaning, providing the income, and paying the bills. I was so happy! Why did he leave and how can I get him back?
     Confused
Dear Miss Van Vogt,
   My cat has been behaving very peculiarly lately. He lies on his back with his feet in the air. He won't eat or drink and  refuses to move. He's been like this for a week, is very stiff and is starting to smell. Is he ill?
        Concerned


Dear Confused, 
    Leave him alone and let him be happy for a change. Meanwhile, concentrate on learning to do things on your own, like brushing your teeth.

Dear Concerned,
    Any nincompoop should be able to diagnose this condition. He obviously has had bad experiences with his father and is now starting to manifest signs of distress. Talk to your family psychiatrist.
Dear Frightened,
Your dream has quite a few possibilities. You may have suppressed memories of falling in water fountains, you may be in love with a guy who looks like a penguin, etc. I have a few words of advice for you: 1) Your subconscious is telling you your longings; this summer, I recommend either going back to PCC camp or taking a trip to Antarctica. 2) Don't look at my web site right before bed. 3) Be so kind as to address me as Miss Van Vogt in the future.
Dear Miss Van Vogt,
    My grandfather's sister's son's one cousin's only child's daughter is having a
birthday, and everyone expects me to throw the party. Am I morally obligated to do this?
