Day 16: Dreams

I only post about this because I normally never ever remember my dreams, I can probably count on my hand the number of times I remember dreams per year, but for the past few nights, I’ve been dreaming like crazy. I like it when I dream, they are always really silly and I wake up very amused. The interesting thing with these dreams I’ve been having lately is that I am actually a part of them, which hasn’t happened in a very very long time. Typically when I dream, it’s like I’m watching a movie. Sometimes there may be a person and or animal I know but otherwise, it’s like I’m watching a cast of characters and enjoying the show.

Last night was definitely the best dream I’ve had this week, in fact I had this dream three times when sleeping last night. I KNOW it was spurred on by my aunt buying us tickets to see Toy Story 3 at 9:40pm at the IMAX for the next day right before I went to bed. Anyways, in my silly reoccurring dream last night, basically it involved us missing the movie we bought tickets for. The first two times, it started with me waking up and looking at the clock, the first time it said 11:41pm, the second time it said 10:11pm. We were supposed to see the show at 9:40pm but I guess both of us decided to take a nap and we overslept. The third time I had this dream, I missed it because I was reading a letter a friend had sent me in the mail and I was so involved in reading it, that I somehow missed the movie. And every time we missed it, I was never bummed about missing the movie, I just more felt bad because we wasted my aunt’s money b/c the IMAX tickets were so expensive. When I finally woke up this morning, I couldn’t help but laugh, I would SO have this dream. It’s just so ridiculous, who dreams about missing an animated movie, multiple times in a night? Apparently I do, haha. Gah, I'm still amused that this happened. I love it when I dream!

When I told my aunt this morning, she thought it was cute and said “ Such is the life when all you worry about in your dreams is missing a movie”. I think there’s a lot of truth to that statement indeed. Such is the life when all I worry about in dreams is missing Toy Story 3.
