I was just under anesthesia and I dreamed I was in a Chess Tournament at the Local Bridge Club 
I didn’t know you could dream under anesthesia. That was the first think I said when they woke me up. “I didn’t know you could dream”. The first time I was under I was out cold.
Well this was the Michael Jackson type of anesthesia.
My mother liked to tell me the (apparently true) story of a man who, whenever he went under anesthesia, would suddenly become aware of the secret of the universe. But when he woke up, he would never remember the secret, though he would remember dreaming about it.
So, prior to his next trip under anesthesia, he asked to have pen and paper next to his bed so he could write it down. When he woke up, he found he had written “The entire universe is permeated with the odor of kerosene”.

Dorothy Parker kept a notepad by her bed. One night she awoke with an important thought to write down. When she got up in the morning (so the story goes), she found:
“Hogamus higamus,
Men are polygamous.
Higamus hogamus,
Women monogamous.”
While we’re talking chess and secrets of the universe, I’ll tell this one. I hope this one gets by the censors, I swear it’s true. I’ll clean it up. In 1974 I’m playing a skittles game in Sea Breeze Park, Brooklyn, against a fella named Todd. It’s his move He looks up at me and says “You know, life is a doody sandwich; you take another bite every day”. Then he put his head down again. Needless to say, I was laughing so hard I lost that game easily. And I never forgot that saying!
Do you know how to play Bridge? If not (like me,) then your dream was a lot better off than if you had been playing a Bridge tournament at the local Chess club. 
I’d love to hold a Chess tournament in the Bridge club - I might have a shot at winning. 
I’ve had dreams before of sports or games where the elements get mixed around. Like playing a Monopoly game but the tokens are all Stratego pieces; the Scouts can pass Go multiple times in one turn and the Sappers (?-Level 8 ) place bombs on the Houses and Hotels so you get free rent. 
And I don’t get the excuse of being under anesthesia…
