Apparently, this is about a guy who feels left out, that no one cares about him enough to even talk about him, ask how he feels, what he thinks. He possibly had some funky dreams lately that he doesn't understand, and wants to talk about them, too. The second time he mentions them, he's saying what he thinks others are talking about his dreams: don't think about them, they're not important.
This song is very contradicting, the melody is uplifting, while the subject is saddening. but the way the music bursts out when he starts singing really grabs you're attention, grabbing you away from those TV show or Radio hosts, one of which is talking about the porcupine and its defenses (the one in the left speaker; his monologue is cut out a lot in the Best Of rendition), and the other is trying to get someone to pick a topic for discussion, "any topic, any topic, ANY TOPIC." The singer at this point, DOES choose a topic: himself. he ends up getting through to one of the announcers, who starts talking about mom and dad getting together and taking the kids to a baseball game at Rigley Field. Baseball's always a good time.
