As Above, So below is reasonably solid

There's a bit of a Mary Sue issue but otherwise good.

That's the fun part of far side.

When you don't immediately get it you have to wonder:

1. Is it a reference to something at the time that's not within my lifetime/country's zeitgeist?

2. Is it a play on an idiom or common cliche?

3. Is it literally nonsense and absurdity for the sake of it?

4. Am I just a big dummy?

I think it might be just 3, i.e. the absurdity of this happening at all, that he's concerned about the coconuts without realising/or being concerned that his head is sprouting a palm tree, and that Margaret seems irritated that he's woken her for what her expression suggests is either an incident of his own making, or one that's trivial.

But his body looks weird so it could be 2, 'no man is an island' or something.

I'm in my late 30s and Australian so it could be 1.

It's never 4.

Were they doing the work they were meant to do during work hours?

Working remotely shouldn't be treated as a privilege.

Genuine question, did it really matter whether he was in his normal house or holiday home? Unless it was a timezone issue or something?

Oh I just get those as part of my sleep paralysis.

Eh for me it's about 60hrs. They're minor hallucinations at that point and you're still lucid enough to understand that they're not real. But it just further cements that you're being tortured by your own body. I see things in my peripheral vision, mostly. Things crawling on the floor, liquid running down the walls, faces are distorted until I look at them front on. It's not a good time.
