Too Real!

I wasn't feeling well last night so I went to bed crazy-early (like 8:30) and by the time 5am rolled around I was having all kinds of crazy dreams. In the last one I was back at the library clerking with a couple of teenagers who didn't know what they were doing, a customer who couldn't articulate what he wanted, new equipment I didn't know how to use, and a drive-up window with another customer who wanted information from me I'd have no reason to know. Then I glanced out the window and saw a line of cars stretching back from the drive-up window all the way across the parking lot. Aaagh!

I honestly don't need the hyperrealistic reminder of how hideous it is to work a day-job. But thanks, subconscious, I'm starting today especially grateful.

(The previous dream where I was Ville Valo's girlfriend was much nicer, even though I kept inexplicably changing my shoes and we couldn't seem to get a chance to be alone and some idiot stole the money the band was supposed to get from the venue they were playing so we were looking for an ATM in the middle of the night.)

I know, usually it's that I've signed up for a class and forgotten about it and it's too late to withdraw. And then I wake up and think, "Oh yeah, I'm done with school."

I'm usually catching a plane, bus, or train and the hallway is like that elongating one in "Poltergeist". I have a new one now where apparently I truly didn't graduate HS, it's the last day, and I can't find the classroom.

Man, I hate stress dreams!

Jordan Lombard God, stress dreams are terrible! I had one about a dead bus driver once. That would be Greyhound bus driver, not the long yellow school bus. Thank God, that would have been worse, I think. But it was still creepy as could be. My bus was driving by and the driver had to stop and check up on this other bus that wasn't parked where it should be. The driver was in the seat, dead, and no one else was on the bus. And that's all I know. Creepy!!!

But, speaking of real... I don't know what happened, but I took one look at that pic of the woman smoking, and I swore I could smell cigarette smoke. I still can. And I'm indoors and no one is standing around me. Made me want to start coughing! Yep, that's real, alright.

Jordan Price Hey, that smoking woman is my dream boyfriend!

Your bus dream would make an awesome opening sequence in a film!

Jordan Lombard LOL, it really is Monday for me, if I didn't notice that was a guy. Oiy. Forgive me.

Yeah, that bus scene is pretty vivid in my mind. I wouldn't write it into a book, I don't think. Only cause it creeped me out. Or, if I did... it would be because it's so creepy.
