I can't tell if my jokes are offensive. (dream)

DREAM

I use ChatGPT to generate about 10 cute divisions for the day--like 10:45-11:30 a.m.: A Coffee Pause With My Friend's In-Laws. 

They all rhyme and everything, and I like them, but I dread using them tomorrow, because I think the couple I'm spending the day with will find them too clever. There's a time and a place for humor and light-heartedness, and I don't know if this is it. But I have no other ideas for how to segment the events of the next day, so I'll do it. 

The titles even discuss a medical problem one of them has, which, I fear, could be really too much. That would be an entire other layer of complexity to the humor. I fear that it could be too personal and too fitting for the people I'm spending time with.

INTERPRETATION

I look back on this dream and laugh, because I felt the most genuine terror at this dream. I was half awake feeling my heart pound for some of it. I think it was just fear at spending time with new people I didn't know very well, and fear about using humor. 

When humor goes well, it goes really well. People absolutely love it. But when it doesn't go over well, it can inspire tremendous offense. 

For better or worse, due to fear, I usually try to play it safe with people I don't know well.
