Default Odd nightmare... Need careful analysis

Had an unsettling dream.

In my dream, the chrome exhaust tips on my 50th anniversary 991 had rotted away overnight, leaving only some forlorn flakes of rust. The disease was also spreading to the rear bumper which makes no sense because plastic doesn't rust. I showed this vehicular blight to my wife but she had no explanation. She was unconcerned, actually, which is sort of upsetting.

As I don't obsess over the car IRL I can only conclude that my subconscious is crying out for help. Please enlighten me as to your interpretation of this dream.

One possibility is that the chrome exhaust tips represent my manhood rotting away as I march off into later middle age. So, symbolically my Johnson is falling off.

Does this mean I need to run out and buy a new Turbo?

Sincerely,
-Concerned in New Jersey

Your subconscious wants an Akrapovic exhaust, they are made from a titanium alloy and don't rust.

In your dream, your dog has been pissing on your tail pipes which caused the rust. The dog is pissed at you because you spend more time with your Porsche than with him. Either that, or your wife has been pissing on the tail pipes, and ... well you know the rest!!

Don't get me started on the dog. I have been lobbying for one for years now but wife and kid are firmly against this.
I won't eat in my 911 but I sure would allow a smelly and hairy dog to ride shotgun.

Grunty, your dream is obviously a thinly veiled inducement to get support for a P-car upgrade. You need to do more homework for metallurgical authenticity in this spiel. The exhaust tips on your car are not chrome plated; they’re solid stainless steel and will not rust, pit or disintegrate IRL or in dream life!

Re dogs in a 911. My dog (a Portuguese water dog) rides in the back every day even comes on extended road trips. Consider taking the rear seats out, gives more cargo room and a better home for fido. The seat belts will still be functional and the form fitted, carpeted seat like depressions are way more roomy for a passenger.

While that is a good idea, in my fantasy world the dog rides in the front with me. The kid can suffer in the back.

Your sleep walking is getting you in trouble. Either tell this to your urologist, or go and get that turbo.
There are now four turbo models with, I think, four tailpipe variations to choose from, not counting Exclusives. A decision may require additional counciling.

I consulted with the village Shaman, err, Urologist, and he said I should get powder coated ceramic tips on a speed yellow turbo S.

not sure what the question is, but the answer is (Trappist) beer, the lady from Kline (the only dog-thing I would add, is the style)
