The Man Who Turned into a Tipi

A man is having strange dreams about becoming objects.

After a very troubling dream, Mr. Smith is visiting his psychiatrist for much needed advice. "Doctor, these last few nights I've been having these incredibly vivid dreams," he says. "They're really starting to bother me, and I don't know what they mean." "What are they about?" his psychiatrist asks. "Well, it's really strange. I dream I'm an old, Native American man. I've living out on the plains, returning from hunting the Great Buffalo. Then, as the dream continues, I go from being the man to being a tipi!" "Hmm. That's very interesting, but probably not anything you need to worry about," comes the reply. "I'm sure the dreams will go away soon." So the man leaves and soon enough the dreams subside and his life returns to normal... for a while. A month or two later, he's back at the shrink. This time, he's visibly upset. "The dreams are back!" he howls, "and this time they're much worse!" "Go on," the psychiatrist replies. "Some nights, I dream I'm the Indian man, turning into a tipi. Other nights, I'm somewhere else and I turn into a wigwam! I don't get it! Ever night, it's tipi! Wigwam! Tipi! Wigwam? What's wrong with me, doc?" "It's very clear, Mr. Smith. You're two tents."
