And I thought my dreams were disturbing...

In an email from my mother:

"Had a dream the other night that you were the new vicar of Brockworth and we went to your induction. You lived in the most enormous vicarage all by yourself. Hope it's not prophetic."

Don't know which I find more disturbing, the "enormous vicarage" or the "by yourself"...

I want to know why your mother hopes it's not prophetic. Does she hate vicars? Or is Brockworth a horrible place? Perhaps somewhere the locals have a reputation for slaughtering their vicars, after cunningly luring them in with their enormous vicarage? Or, as seems most likely, is Brockworth in fact a lovely place, and your mother would hate to see them saddled with an incorrigable and helpless alcoholic as their spiritual leader?
