Carbon monoxide detector dream

davidnAs expected, I did have a weird dream last night, but thankfully it didn't involve malevolent flowers at all. Instead, it was about Whitney telling me worriedly that the carbon monoxide detector in our living room was pulsing faster than it had been.
I took a look behind the curtain because it was on the windowsill, and it was a thing you might expect to find in the TARDIS - a six inch high red tube on top of a base with a pulsing light inside it, connected up to various cooling devices and a host of dials and gauges, for the battery life, amount of petrol remaining, and so on. It was definitely pulsing faster than it had been before but the alarm wasn't going off and the carbon monoxide gauge itself was still in the green zone below the red one (although the dial was a bit ambiguous about this).
The problem was apparent when the huge fan on the front of the arrangement started going at jet speeds, and blew papers and eventually furniture around the room. After seeing that happen, I instantly found the problem - the "behaviour" setting had somehow been switched to the preset "Jeremy Clarkson". All the other options were also names of personalities, but none stood out as loud and annoying, so setting it to a random alternative one solved the problem.
