“And now I’m hung up on a dream.”
-The Zombies
August 11
I’m mystified. Last night in my dream there was a guy who sort of looked like my boss yelling at me for all the work I hadn’t done, because I’d gotten really into re-editing the Wikipedia page about Internet addiction. I still have no idea what it means. I also had the dream about eating my pillow. When I woke up, the Jet-Puffed Marshmallows I keep by the side of the bed were gone.

Dreams really are inscrutable. Last night I had this dream where I got crushed underneath every word I’ve ever typed in an IM conversation. Then this guy who kind of looked like my boss tried to help me but got trapped as well. I’m baffled. I also dreamed that I ate a chicken that looked like my dad, but when I woke up, Pops was sleeping soundly on the floor right next to my bed, just like always.

Who can know the whims of the unconscious? Last night I dreamt that I was at work playing a computer game for toddlers called The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud, but it was so hard that I couldn’t figure it out. Then a baby who looked like my boss beat the game and threatened to set me on fire. Weird, right? I also dreamed that I ate my laptop, and when I woke up the chocolate laptop I’d been saving for the weekend was gone.

I fell asleep at work today and had this dream where my family and friends and co-workers and everyone crowded around me and told me I had a problem. But right when they were about to tell me what the problem was, I was rudely awakened by my boss, who’d gathered my family and friends and co-workers around me to tell me I had a problem, which made me really mad. I started yelling at them before they told me what the problem was. I stormed out and bought a soothing bag of marshmallows and went home and slept. I didn’t really have any dreams, except for the one where everything below me is burning and I fly away in a bed shaped like the internet. I think that one demonstrates the importance of dreams and how nothing can stop you if you just believe in them.

This one might be my favorite. “I stormed out and bought a soothing bag of marshmallows” is an amazing line. This song is also awesome.
