The Impossibly Present Man

In a dream I saw a familiar white farmhouse nestled in a small grove of oaks.
I walked through the open door and saw Alec and Benay in their blue velvet room having a discussion with the Impossibly Present Man. No one noticed my presence as he continued to offer advice.
“Only fish in the deep ponds. The best ideas are big fish and they only live in the deep ponds.”
“Also, respect trees. They give us everything.”
