a million little dreams in 30 min

these are dreams i had during my 30 minute MWT test. i was supposed to keep my eyes open in a dark room and stare at an X on the wall -- It's a secret test...they say to stay awake, but really they want you to fall asleep. As always I like to tell myself that I don't actually have narcolepsy. but i do...really badly

*I'm in a house with this woman and her kids (dark wood plank walls). I know i'm dreaming so i try to find something cool to do. I go outside and think...maybe i'll ride around on a motorcycle. The little boy follows me out. I tell him to go back inside. this is my dream, i'm not responsible for him. the last thing i need is him running out into the road and getting squashed or turning into some sort of demon. he sits on the motorcycle in the garage. .. i just keep walking outside.

----could you open your eyes wide and look at the mark on the wall (says the lady over an intercom-----

*I still think maybe i won't fall asleep. then the side of the room opens up like a garage door. oh...

----could you open your eyes wide and look at the mark on the wall-----

* my childhood home is in a movie!

----open your eyes wide and look at the mark on the wall-----

* my family and i are standing on the steps of my childhood home. We are coming back to get this ceramic bunny of ours that is apparently in the yard. He says they probably dont want it and we couldn't risk them throwing her away!
"Could you imagine loosing *insert name here*?"

----could you open your eyes wide and look at the mark on the wall-----

* elizabeth fries said her parents didn't do anything for valentines day and they hadn't for five years. i said...oh that's horrible... i thought they were super in love. She said "well you know, they've been married 20 years. i guess 20 years of marriage...ya know..." i thought, no i dont know. my parents have been married longer and they still love each other...


----could you open your eyes wide and look at the mark on the wall-----


*nate noogied me in the arm saying i didnt need to get treatment to make my B12 immunization safe. then he made it all come out like a pimple. and i pointed to it and said, guess i dont have to worry one way or the other now

----could you open your eyes wide and look at the mark on the wall-----

*yan koga from grade school or maybe someone else brought mint chocolate chip icecream cone. i couldn't eat it. SHHH i'm in a test! i said. he pretended to lick it

----could you open your eyes wide and look at the mark on the wall-----

*i stood in front of a class at a podium. i said i was inspired by package design. that my sister is getting married so i've been looking at it a lot lately

----could you open your eyes wide and look at the mark on the wall-----

*there was a crate of everyone's inspiration images. one envelope someone wrote "images everyone already knows look bad" i thought "i hope that's not mine!"

----could you open your eyes wide and look at the mark on the wall-----

*my name is frijola *HAHAHA* and i am a famous columbian artist but i am so young! I'm trying to have a normal lunch with friends and people keep coming up to me. wanting to shake my hand...not wanting to shake the hand of the other accomplished people around me. I am embarassed! then this woman is holding my hand and stroking it...saying what an inspiration i am to her...saying she makes music and my work inspires all her music. i said "i'm glad...i mean i'm flattered...i mean it's good you make music, and honored to i have an impact on you.." then everyone starts trying to hand me checks. one was for 97 dollars "For dinner later! you and me!"

These are only the ones i remember. ..but, as always, there were more.
