how do you even find that kind of things I have no idea
I used a bunch of sources to figure out roughly what date it was from (November 2007) and then searched through a huge ass archive of British television, and spider found and recorded it because I'm crap at technology

The only thing that I can psychoanalyze here is the fact that Dan uses a lot more words to EXPLAIN his weirdness, which is kinda what he does - apologies and explains things in the fear that people get it wrong, while Phil's page has no explanations on it (and is weirder).


(I love how Dan tells us not to psychoanalyze the page,like srsly, I'm your mother and I do what I want when I'm concerned)

I like how Dan's doodle are small and plenty, very busy and convoluted (with apologies written too) whereas Phil's are more in your face, like a statement but with a very definite surreal style. It fits with my view of them tbh with Dan being more messy and searching and unsure but also deeper and Phil being more stable and simpler in spite of his quirkiness.

Just watched the weakest link, and I think I'm stanning Claire now. Who needs Phil?

When she said, "Anne said I looked too old for my age, so I might spend some of the money on cosmetic surgery", I was like, "MOM!!!!"

Clearly the cheese in Dan's signifies his subconscious effort to push Phil away so he can be his own person in life. And the pancakes he also drew represent the way Phil has trained Dan with his Evil Mastermind Phil Tactics for Dan to only do/create things that please senpai Phil.

Dan's handwriting is godawful (sorry Dan, love ya to bits sweet, but tis true! ) And yes, I know he's LH,it's a terrible disability (I joke!)but he's had 20-odd years to get used to it, I've had a couple months of enforced LH-living, and mine is a lot bloody neater than that!!

They both drew staircases; I went all in.

In order to analyze them in the way you'd analyze dreams, we'd kinda need to know if they're ascending or descending but whatever. Dan's staircase seems to be a house (with a tiny garden? how interesting) while Phil has one that's just a regular, sturdy one and then another one that is just a wonky mess. What are you saying, Philip? Are you torn? under a spoiler because im 99% joking.
Meaning of stairs (in dreams)
Stairs are about progress, either existing or lack thereof. Dreaming of having a staircase in front of you could mean "not wanting to address an ongoing relationship problem that's keeping you from evolving (housing situation & its lack of dogs? dan wants a garden :lol: ), or feeling you are not worthy of/have mixed feelings about success (tabinof?). These kind of dreams may be asking us to finally take the next step in our life instead of putting it off and going sideways, or backwards, or around."

Clearly they're both sick of their narrow, three-story apartment, and they need to move forward and get a proper house. I mean, we keep telling them but they won't listen - guyz, it's time. Or - they were just angsty about tabinof and the consequences of its release.

"Stairs in a dream can also refer to our sense of hierarchy and progress in life. If you are happily ascending stairs or a lift, this could mean you are confident in the face of success; “moving up in the world”. Or it might mean that you are growing in your own self confidence. Descending stairs; These dreams may occur if we feel we are slipping in someone else’s esteem of us, if we feel people are “looking down” on us and we are losing some degree of power and confidence (people givin em grief for tab/tinof?)."
... OR MAYBE they were just trynna be artsy and 3D, and totally just copied each other.

Dammit, I was going to be all superficial and NOT analyse them, but you've dragged me in now!
Yet again, Dan is easy analysis fodder. Although the part I've bolded/underlined probably applies to both of them whilst writing the book and preparing the tour before the announcement went out. That must have been a scary scary time for the pair of them. All good now though!

RE the TABINOF doodle pages: the "no no no no no ok" part of Dan's stood out to me the most. I feel like this is his attitude towards most of the work he does. His apologies and explanations add to the insecurity theme that I usually see with him. It seems like he's trying to one-up Phil's drawings with more intricate and detailed ones, but I have no idea for certain, obviously.
I have the audiobook and I haven't finished it yet, but I'm curious to see if they describe this page or just skip over it. If they do describe it, I can imagine what that would look like. I'm sure we all can.

I only have the audiobook (I got the free audible trial and downloaded it) and think it's pretty good, especially because you get them reading their respective bits, but then I haven't properly read the book apart from flipping through it at a book store so I'm not sure how much they left out in the audio version
