The Gambler's Watch

A Story by Abishai100

Portrait of 'uncanny' intuition for sports/TV culture for fan-premonitions drawing a chance-wheel 'consciousness' for a pseudo-religious jump.

A sports culture daydream.

I'd become a very energized Duke University men's college-basketball team fan for TV/Selfie culture commentary and superstitions and had a dream-sleep vision that would rock my sensibility concerning the 'art' of Earthling chores for jars of competition's gamble/wages (Facebook-like!).

In the dream, I imagined I was inhabiting the spirit of one of the iconic guards of the Duke team of pronounced tourney-promise and talent challenging one of the team's most pronounced rivals in the American Homeland college landscape. Sure, I found myself playing as the player I cheered, watching on TV in my conscious life (for fandom!). When I woke, I turned on the TV and saw to my amazement the dream-triumph paralleled exactly what Duke managed to achieve against its pronounced rival in the (conference) tourney (damn).

PSYCHIATRIST: Your 'claim' your team won in the exact manner imagined is IQ?

ME: I tell you this true...maybe my love of Duke sports made me psychic.

PSYCHIATRIST: Maybe you 'fashioned' a trend in athletics for chance/risk (IQ).

ME: Mirrors?

PSYCHIATRIST: Well, it's natural to 'drift' into a cheer-state of premonition.

ME: Don't only psychics feel premonitions, doc?

PSYCHIATRIST: This 'imagined' future that became truth is a rivalry-stat, no?

ME: What...I'm a 'perfect' statistician, doc (Facebook-like)?

PSYCHIATRIST: For leviathan/uncertainty...cheers make for medicine.

ME: Sure (wow).

Did I have this 'gamble' premonition in dream-sleep that became truth-on-TV as my psychiatrist advised (for 'fashioned' humanity)? Maybe college athletics for TV-culture was hospitality-portal for things of taste and student-life/education-space 'IQ' for American pride and endearing intelligence...and I simply ate-it-up like stew. Maybe the gods (simply) wanted me to dream of a condition (or future!) in which a 'premonition' of athletics chance/risk stat excellence 'mirrored' some Earth taste for things of doubt/jars. I decided to tell my shrink I'd give up gambling altogether (wow).
