Just had to ask that question because the other night I dreamt that Norm Abram came to my humble shop to do a project with me. And when we needed to plane down a wide board in the dream that my portable planer wouldnt handle, a wide belt sander magically appeared.
My wife is a mental health professional...I think I'll ask for a referal.:)

cool dream!!! John
Back in the day when I was a live sound engineer, I had girlfriends tell me that I recited effect device settings, and patch routings in my sleep.
Your dream sounds perfectly normal to me.

You definitely have a serious problem. If you'll tell me where you are located I will come by and relieve you of all those nasty woodworking tools and machines :-)

The words "obsessed" and "woodworking" don't belong in the same sentence.
Are they redundant? j4
Sounds to me like a subtle suggestion to SWMBO that you want a wide belt sander for Christmas. Extremely slight chance you might be able to pull it off with SWMBO, bit it won't fly too far here. :)
In my case, YES!!!

Makes me wonder what you are going to do with the Vienna Boy's Choir.

This reminds me of a Martin Mull song from the 70's - the Humming Song, I think it was called.

There was an article in "Rock & Ice" a couple months ago as to whether climbing could be classified as a mental illness. They concluded it probably was in many instances. I expect woodworking is similar.
Define "too obsessed with woodworking". And why did you make it sound like a bad thing?

Heyt, you stole that from Ozzie Ozburn didn't you?????
Well, heck, who amomg is perfect? We are all imperfect and our wives can testify to that. I'm just proud of the one I have and that she puts up with my woodworkinmg. I got to thinking. If she did something that took up as much time as my woodworking does, how would I react? As far as mentally ill, we all have traits of it; some more obvious than others.

Dunno anything about that... back when I learned it, Ozzie was still doing his bat-geek trick, as frontman for Black Sabbath. If you've heard Ozzie do it, I'd bet that he picked it up from one of Mr. Mull's albums.
Actually this is a good dream. Sometimes I am working on a project in the garage when the guy down the block stops by. He doesn't even look like Norm, especially with his mask on, but when he opens his car trunk, all kinds of thinks like a TV set, stereo and power tools magically appear.

You MOST DEFINITELY should not be having dreams about big bearded men and power tools. Try to get out more. Then again, he is kind of cuddly ... NO, NO, STOP, ... aaaaaargh! Thanks for nothing.
