When I was around 8 years old, I lost a new issue of Nintendo Power in a Service Merchandise store. That may be the most aged statement I've ever made.
Anyway, this was a very distressing experience for me; my disappointment and loss of hope sticks with me to this day. I vividly remember dreaming about finding it some time after. However, in my dream I recall flipping through the pages only to find garbled nonsense, page after page.
This was actually more distressing to my confused, young mind. I don't even try to read in dreams anymore, but maybe I should; it would be a dead giveaway.
I still miss that issue. It was the Dr. Mario issue for anyone wondering.
RIP Dr Mario issue of Nintendo Power :(
